The U.S. wants to address the issue of illegal migration with India, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar during their meeting in Washington. A readout issued by the U.S. State Department said the two leaders had discussed a "wide range of issues" including "critical and emerging technologies, defence cooperation, energy, and on advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific region".

Noting that burials must be held only in areas designated for each faith, the Supreme Court on Wednesday found an affidavit filed by the Chhattisgarh government about a "designated" graveyard for Christians "very vague". "If there is a designated area, you can bury him there... This should be an exclusive Christian graveyard where they will not be disturbed," Justice Nagarathna said. Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta, for Chhattisgarh, submitted the graveyard was for the exclusive use of Christians across four villages, and added that the State was willing to put up a sign board to that effect.

Raman Rajamannan, the head of the Mannan community and the only tribal king in Kerala, will participate in the Republic Day parade in Delhi. According to officials, the king and his wife will join the event as guests of the Scheduled Tribes (SC) Development Department. This will be the first time a tribal king will attend the Republic Day parade in Delhi. The Mannan community is mainly settled in the buffer zone area of the Idukki Wildlife Sanctuary at Kozhi-mala, the hub of the tribe with 48 settlements ruled by a king, the only such community in southern India.

The slew of Executive Orders changes U.S. policy on energy, the environment and climate change, trade and global taxes, citizenship routes, health, border control and immigration. But the new ad-ministration has shown it is keen to engage India: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, who was invited along with other Quad Foreign Ministers at the inaugural ceremony, was the first Foreign Minister to hold a one-on-one bilateral meeting with new U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The readout of their meeting and the Quad Foreign Ministers' joint statement make it clear that the two sides are on the same page on the Indo-Pacific partnership, concerns over Chinese actions, critical and emerging technology cooperation, strategic and defence ties.

China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) expanded its export control list by including 28 entities from the United States, effectively restricting their access to a swath of items classified under dual-use export controls. At the core of these restrictions lies minerals and rare and refined materials that are vital for high-technology applications such as in aerospace, semiconductors, batteries, and advanced electronics. The Union government has introduced measures to spur activity in critical minerals. The Ministry of Mines identified 30 critical minerals that are deemed essential for national security. And before that, the Union government set up a designated body, Khanij Bidesh India Ltd. (KABIL), which has been tasked with obtaining overseas investments in critical minerals such as lithium and cobalt. Parliament passed the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2023, lifting restrictive classifications on some rare earth elements that used to be considered 'atomic minerals'.

The Maharashtra Food and Drugs Administration has, in a recent directive, allowed homeopathic practitioners, who have completed a certificate course in modern pharmacology, to prescribe allopathic medications. This directive was challenged in the Bombay High Court by the Indian Medical Association (IMA). The High Court issued a stay, with the Bench questioning the risk that could be posed to patients if these doctors were allowed to practise allopathy. The Central government has been promoting AYUSH medicine for some years now, with a push being given to integrative/integrated medicine. The rationale, in general, has been that India has a shortage of doctors, particularly in rural areas, and that the AYUSH cadre of practitioners can help fill in these gaps.

Asserting that the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao (Save and educate the girl child) campaign had helped over-come gender bias, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said districts with historically low child sex ratios had shown re-markable improvement since the campaign was launched a decade ago. The scheme, launched by the Prime Minister at Panipat in Haryana on January 22, 2015, addresses the declining child sex ratio (CSR) and related issues of women empowerment. It is a tri-ministerial effort of the Ministries of Women and Child Development, Health and Family Welfare, and Education. The key elements of the scheme include enforcement of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, a nationwide awareness and advocacy campaign, and multi-sectoral action in select 100 districts (low CSR) in the first phase.

The National Health Mission (NHM) has significantly contributed to improving India's public health, including lowering of the maternal mortality ratio, incidence of tuberculosis (TB), and sickle cell anaemia. It has also contributed to expanding human re-sources in the field while fostering an integrated response to health emergencies, the Union government said in its assessment report (2021-24) presented to the Union Cabinet. This number grew in subsequent years, with 4.21 lakh additional health-care professionals engaged in FY 2022-23, including 1.29 lakh CHOs, and 5.23 lakh workers engaged in FY 2023-24, which included 1.38 lakh CHOs," the report stated.
