A long-cherished dream has come true. We are delighted to announce that Ponduru Khadi has been officially granted the Geographical Indication tag by the GI Registry. This historic recognition will protect its unique identity, promote sustainable growth, and open new opportunities for our artisans. This honor is dedicated to the skilled weavers who, through generations of hard work and devotion, have kept this timeless craft alive. Their resilience and artistry have ensured the survival of this tradition and made Srikakulam a symbol of heritage and pride. Special thanks to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji for his consistent efforts in promoting local and traditional products, strengthening India’s rich cultural heritage.

Their pioneering work embodies the spirit of a confident, innovation-driven New India. 3️⃣: Eleven women MSME entrepreneurs were awarded the FICCI FLO National MSME Awards in recognition of their excellence. With nearly 65% of the developed markets now part of India's FTAs, Indian manufacturers have a huge opportunity to integrate into global supply chains and meet international demand. 4️⃣: Held a meeting with members of the Consultative Committee on Promotion of Export of Marine Products. Discussed scaling up value addition, boosting global competitiveness, enhancing infrastructure & strengthening compliance standards. 5️⃣: The first consignment of 25 metric tonnes of GI-tagged Joha Rice from Assam has been flagged off to the United Kingdom and Italy.

Impact After Term | 12 : iTNT Hub — Laying the Foundation for Tamil Nadu's Deep Tech Ecosystem (Part 1) As global technology leadership increasingly shifts towards Artificial Intelligence and other Deep Tech sectors, Tamil Nadu recognised the need to move beyond traditional IT services and build an innovation ecosystem capable of transforming research, talent and technology into globally competitive enterprises. Recognising this opportunity and the immense potential of Tamil Nadu's highly skilled youth, Dr. Dr P Thiaga Rajan (PTR), as Minister for Finance and Human Resources Management, announced the establishment of the i-Tamil Nadu Technology (iTNT) Hub in the 2022–23 Budget with an allocation of ₹54.61 crore. The objective was to create a dedicated institutional platform that could accelerate Deep Tech innovation and entrepreneurship in the State. Launched by Hon'ble Chief Minister Thiru M.K.Stalin on 15 May 2023, iTNT Hub was established as India's first dedicated innovation platform focused on Deep Tech and Emerging Technologies. Through initiatives such as BEACON, PATHFINDER, iAccelerate and the JIGSAW innovation framework, the Hub brought together government, academia, industry, investors and startups while providing access to advanced infrastructure including Fab Labs, 3D Printing facilities, Industry 4.0 tools and specialised technology resources. In doing so, it helped connect research, industry and capital, enabling ideas to evolve into scalable products and enterprises. The impact has been substantial. iTNT Hub has supported more than 2,800 startups, connected nearly 7,000 researchers, facilitated partnerships with over 200 institutions, established collaborations with more than 80 incubation centres—including 20 international partnerships—and enabled over 10,000 entrepreneurs to benefit from its ecosystem. Beyond supporting startups, iTNT Hub has helped create the foundations of a statewide Deep Tech ecosystem. By strengthening the pathways from innovation to enterprise creation, it has positioned Tamil Nadu to compete in the technologies that will shape the future global economy. — Admin Team

In a moment of immense pride for India, Assam’s Moidams have been inscribed as the 43rd UNESCO World Heritage Site. This historic recognition brings global attention to the unique 700-year-old mound burial system of the Ahom Kings at Charaideo, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Assam and Bharat. The journey of Moidams towards this prestigious recognition was spearheaded by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, who nominated these ancient structures as India’s official entry in 2023. This nomination underscores the cultural and historical significance of the Moidams, making them the first cultural heritage site and the third overall site from the North East to be inscribed on the World Heritage list. The Moidams at Charaideo, often referred to as the ‘Pyramids of India’, are a series of grand, earthen mounds that serve as the burial sites for the Ahom royalty. These structures date back to the 13th century and showcase the intricate funerary practices and cosmological beliefs of the Tai-Ahom people. The Moidams are characterized by their hemispherical shape, brick structures, and octagonal boundary walls with arched gateways. The vaults contain the remains of the royals along with grave goods, symbolizing their stature and reverence in society. The inclusion of Moidams in the UNESCO World Heritage List is a testament to their outstanding universal value. The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) highlighted the Moidams' exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition and their representation of significant stages in human history. This recognition underscores the efforts of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and the Assam government in preserving these historic treasures. As we celebrate this achievement, it is essential to encourage visitors to explore the beauty and historical significance of the Moidams. Visiting Charaideo offers a glimpse into the region’s opulent history and the grandeur of the Ahom dynasty. Tourists can marvel at the architectural brilliance and the meticulous preservation efforts that have kept these structures intact. Additionally, it is crucial to promote the preservation of such monuments, which are abundant in India. The Moidams’ recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site serves as a reminder of the importance of conserving our cultural heritage for future generations. By visiting and supporting these sites, we contribute to their preservation and the broader narrative of India’s rich and diverse history. In celebrating the Moidams, we honour the past and look forward to a future where such legacies continue to inspire and educate. Let us cherish and preserve these invaluable treasures, ensuring they remain a source of pride and knowledge for generations to come. #MoidamsInUNESCO #AssamHeritage #AhomDynasty #IncredibleIndia #ExploreAssam #IndianHeritage #WorldHeritage #PreserveHistory #PrideOfAssam #PrideOfIndia #ExploreBharat #ExploreIndia

The 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) is taking place in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, bringing together over 155 countries and regions, along with 4,108 overseas exhibitors. This year, the Expo has set up a dedicated section for products from least developed countries (LDCs), featuring specialties from more than 30 nations — including coffee, fruits, handicrafts, and daily chemical products. A total of 123 Belt and Road participating countries and 163 enterprises from LDCs are represented, marking year-on-year increases of 23.1% and 23.5%, respectively. These initiatives help enterprises from 53 African countries make full use of zero-tariff treatment and gain better access to the Chinese market, expanding the Expo’s role from a trade fair into a gateway for shared development opportunities across the Global South. When the first CIIE opened in 2018, China’s total goods imports reached US$2.14 trillion. By 2024, this figure had risen to US$2.58 trillion, reflecting China’s unwavering commitment to high-level market opening and its role as a stable platform for global enterprises amid economic uncertainty. Notably, the CIIE has evolved into a key platform for global cooperation and innovation. The concurrent Hongqiao International Economic Forum hosts sub-forums on topics such as WTO reform, international AI standards, and supply chain resilience, contributing to global economic governance. Over the past seven years, more than 3,000 new products, technologies, and services have made their debut at the Expo — including 461 innovations launched this year alone. In terms of policy support, China’s overall import tariff rate now averages 7.3%, while the World Bank reports a weighted average tariff of below 3%, aligning with global standards and significantly lowering market entry costs for overseas firms. At its core, the CIIE’s sustained success lies in its ability to connect China’s evolving consumer demand with high-quality global supply, continuously injecting new vitality into global trade and cooperation.

Today, Governor Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun, CON launched the AgriConnect Initiative — a groundbreaking program designed to revolutionize the agricultural landscape of Ogun State. Using Artificial Intelligence by Huawei technologies, this phone (first ever in Nigeria) will form an integral part of the ecosystem that would inform farmers on rain patterns, when to plant, and serve as channels to request assistance for agronomy services. The phones comes installed with navigation access, and an app that enables farmers to communicate back and forth with Ogun State’s 24/7 data centers, which they can use to inform the government in real time of whatever issues they are facing, such as security, pests etc. These are not just gadgets; they are tools of transformation — designed to boost productivity, promote efficiency, and fortify the cassava value chain. Through this programme, 1,000 cassava farmers — randomly selected from the Ogun State Farmers Information Management System (OGFIMS), (the first of its kind and only one in Nigeria-which currently hosts a database of over 160,000 farmers — will be supported with mobile-data enabled devices and access to digital technologies provided by Huawei, with mobile data provided by the MTN foundation. The initiative is facilitated by the Hon Minister of Communications Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Dr. 'Bosun Tijani. It is worth noting that Ogun State plays a leading role in cassava production in Nigeria, contributing approximately 14% to the national output of 62.8 million metric tonnes. This comparative advantage aligns perfectly with the One State, One Product (OSOP) initiative championed by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), and we are proud to be leading this charge. With real-time access to information, market intelligence, climate-smart practices, and financial inclusion tools, Ogun State is creating the conditions for better outcomes and elevated livelihoods. This Initiative is poised to harness this potential by establishing a robust platform that connects farmers to vital resources, modern technologies, and accessible markets.

Satyamev Jayate Farmer Cup 2026 by Paani Foundation: Strengthening the Spirit of Maharashtra’s Farmers Delighted to launch the ‘Satyamev Jayate Farmer Cup 2026’ organised by Paani Foundation, in Mumbai today. Farmers are the backbone of Maharashtra’s growth story, playing a pivotal role in strengthening the state’s economy. At the core of their enduring spirit lies confidence, firm strength that keeps them resilient through every challenge. Through the transformative efforts of Paani Foundation, this spirit of confidence has been deeply instilled in the farmers of Maharashtra, empowering farmers with resilience, determination and hope. Today, an incredible network of more than 18,000 farmer groups comprising over 2.5 lakh farmers drives a massive wave of grassroots transformation across the state. Through highly successful initiatives like the Farmer Cup, these collective groups are substantially boosting per-acre productivity in soybean, cotton, and corn, paving a definitive path toward a stronger, self-sustaining agricultural ecosystem. On this occasion, engaged in insightful interactions with farmers from various parts of Maharashtra associated with the Paani Foundation and actively practising group farming. Their stories of collaboration and progress were truly inspiring, showcasing the transformative power of collective effort in agriculture. To bring meaningful and lasting empowerment of our women, the ongoing Assembly session will mark a historic milestone with the passage of the landmark Women Farmers Bill by the Government of Maharashtra. This transformative legislation will formally recognise and legally declare women as farmers, giving long-overdue recognition to their invaluable contribution to agriculture. With official certification, women farmers will gain direct access to government schemes, financial benefits and critical policy support, ensuring greater economic security, dignity and opportunity. Standing at the intersection of structural policy and community resolve, the agricultural sector is being completely redefined into a more inclusive, equitable, and future-ready powerhouse. Minister Dattatray Bharane, MoS Adv. Ashish Jaiswal, MLA Samadhan Autade, Founder of Paani Foundation, Aamir Khan, CEO Satyajit Bhatkal and senior officials were present.

Press statement from the Office of King Bulelani Lubengula Mzilikazi 👇🏿👇🏿 Public Statement in Response to Remarks by Government Officials Regarding His Majesty’s Visit to Bulawayo. Date: 4 May 2025 The Office of His Majesty King Bulelani Lobengula kaMzilikazi, based in the Republic of South Africa, has taken note of recent public statements made by the Minister of Local Government and Public Works, Hon. Daniel Garwe, and ZANU PF Spokesperson Mr. Christopher Mutsvangwa, concerning His Majesty’s visit to the City of Bulawayo and his courtesy engagement with the Mayor, Councillor David Coltart. While we understand and respect the importance of dialogue and the rule of law within a sovereign nation, we find it imperative to address the tone and implications of the said statements with the necessary dignity and clarity. 1. Legitimacy and Representation His Majesty King Bulelani Lobengula kaMzilikazi holds a deeply rooted ancestral and cultural position within the hearts of the uMthwakazi people, as a direct descendant of King Lobengula, and ultimately of King Mzilikazi, the founder of the Ndebele nation. His role is not political but restorative, cultural, and symbolic—aimed at uniting Mthwakazi descendants across Southern Africa and the diaspora through heritage, identity, and community development. 2. The Nature of the Visit His Majesty’s visit to Bulawayo was in no way a political event or an act of defiance. It was a private and dignified cultural pilgrimage to the historical heartland of the Ndebele people—a journey marked by mutual respect, peaceful engagement, and cultural significance. His meeting with Mayor David Coltart was conducted in a spirit of courtesy and national unity, reflective of our African tradition of mutual recognition among community leaders. 3. Dignity in Public Discourse We respectfully urge public officials to exercise caution, decorum, and cultural sensitivity when speaking on matters of heritage and traditional leadership. Dismissive language or threats of arrest directed at a traditional and cultural figure—whose mission is reconciliation, unity, and empowerment—does not reflect the spirit of Ubuntu or the values enshrined in Pan-Africanism. 4. Commitment to Peace and Cultural Preservation The Kingdom reiterates its commitment to peaceful engagement, cultural restoration, and respectful cooperation with both governmental and civil institutions. We believe that co-existence between traditional structures and state governance is not only possible but necessary for a more inclusive and reconciled future. 5. The Call for Dialogue We remain open to constructive dialogue with all relevant stakeholders in Zimbabwe and the region to find common ground in the recognition and preservation of traditional institutions that predate colonial boundaries. These institutions, when embraced and integrated, can contribute meaningfully to community development, national unity, and cultural tourism. Conclusion We would like to thank all the citizens of the country who have shown their undivided support to the King, The Kingship issue, The Mayor of the City of Bulawayo and the Culture of our Mthwakazi Nation . It has clearly demonstrated that “Inkosi YiNkosi Ngabantu” . We call upon all concerned to embrace a spirit of mutual respect, understanding, and dialogue in addressing matters concerning the cultural identity of the Mthwakazi people. His Majesty’s presence is not an imposition, but a reminder of a shared aspiration and history that yearns for healing, dignity, and recognition.

The Future of Commerce Is Being Rewritten Right Now with Interlink and LinkersMap 🚀 Digital commerce is changing rapidly, and the connection between crypto payments, real-world businesses, and global consumers is becoming more important than ever. 🌐 InterLink Labs 👤 + 🌐 is taking a major step forward by expanding crypto payment utility across 50+ global brands, helping bring digital assets closer to everyday use. This is an important move towards practical adoption, where crypto is not only held or traded, but also used in real economic activity. 💳✨ From shopping 🛍️ and entertainment 🎮 to travel ✈️, technology 💻, hospitality 🏨, education 🎓, services 🧰, and global retail 🌍, digital payments are becoming part of the modern customer experience. The future of commerce is not just online. It is global, connected, mobile, and increasingly powered by digital assets. 🔥 💜 LinkersMap: Building Real-World Utility for the InterLink Ecosystem LinkersMap is emerging as a powerful marketplace and geo-commerce platform designed to connect businesses, entrepreneurs, communities, and customers in one trusted digital environment. It is built to support verified InterLink Stores, product listings, payment points, and real-world services, giving users a simple way to discover where digital commerce is active. For businesses, LinkersMap is more than just a listing platform. It is a gateway to greater visibility, stronger customer access, and future-ready participation in the growing digital economy. 🏪🌍 🏪 What LinkersMap Offers to Businesses Businesses can use LinkersMap to create a stronger digital presence and connect with customers beyond traditional local limits.

Marathi Heritage Comes Alive in Zurich Deeply touched by the warmth and affection of the BrihanMaharashtra Mandal, Switzerland. The 'Paramparik vesh, Paddhati, Parampara', and the Wari performance beautifully showcased our rich cultural heritage, bringing the true essence of Maharashtra in Zurich. It is truly inspiring to hear Amol Savarkar, Coordinator of the International Marathi Forum, announce that Marathi language classes have begun in several schools across Switzerland. This was made possible through the Forum’s dedicated efforts. This milestone is a moment of joy and honour for Maharashtra and Marathi. The International Marathi Forum deserves wholehearted appreciation for this remarkable achievement. Such visionary global initiatives are not only preserving our linguistic heritage but also steering Marathi toward its rightful place as a language of knowledge. Marathi communities worldwide are doing transformative work. To connect, celebrate, and amplify these efforts, ‘Maha-NRI Connect’ is being created, uniting Marathi people across the globe through Swadesh, Swadharma, and Swabhasha, and opening new paths of prosperity. Under the visionary leadership of Hon PM Narendra Modi Ji, Marathi has received the status of ‘Abhijaat Bhasha’. Maharashtra continues to lead in development, contributing significantly to India’s growth and moving steadily toward becoming the first sub-national trillion-dollar economy. Marathi people continue to elevate Maharashtra’s standing through their remarkable achievements worldwide. Narendra Modi #MahaAtDavos #WEF26 #UnstoppableMaharashtra
