In a recent podcast with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath, Prime Minister Narendra Modi clarified misconceptions surrounding the phrase "minimum government, maximum governance." He emphasized that this concept does not imply a reduction in ministers or employees but rather aims to streamline government operations by abolishing 40,000 compliances and creating dedicated ministries for skill development, cooperatives, and fisheries. Modi highlighted India's advancements in technology, stating that the nation has democratized tech access, enabling rapid financial transactions for millions. He reflected on India's evolving global image, recalling his 2005 assertion that the world would one day seek Indian visas. Modi also underscored his commitment to peace amid global conflicts, asserting that India's credibility has grown as a mediator. He recounted efforts during the pandemic to evacuate citizens abroad, reinforcing the notion that caring for fellow countrymen inspires goodwill and fosters a sense of national pride. 
Published: Jan 11 2025, 8 ameznews.inOn January 15, coinciding with Makar Sankranti, Sonia Gandhi will inaugurate Indira Bhavan, the new headquarters of the All India Congress Committee (AICC), after a delay due to national mourning for Dr. Manmohan Singh. Located on a two-acre plot bordered by Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg and Kotla Marg, the Congress has opted for a back-door entrance to avoid association with BJP icon Deen Dayal Upadhyay, marking its address as 9A Kotla Marg. Historically, the Congress has shifted addresses multiple times, from its origins in Anand Bhavan, Allahabad, to various locations in New Delhi, including 7 Jantar Mantar Road and 24 Akbar Road. The foundation stone for Indira Bhavan was laid in December 2009, and after 15 years of development, the party will finally have its dedicated premises in the capital, contrasting with the BJP's headquarters established in 2018.

Following the split, Uddhav Thackeray allied with the Congress and NCP, while his cousin Raj Thackeray of the Maharashtra Navanirman Sena grew closer to the BJP. Fadnavis also praised veteran leader Sharad Pawar, suggesting that Pawar recognized the RSS as a significant nationalist force amidst political narratives. Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of politics, he noted potential shifts among party alliances before the 2024 elections. When asked about the strictness of Prime Minister Narendra Modi versus Home Minister Amit Shah, Fadnavis remarked on their differing styles, highlighting the BJP's strong mandate in Maharashtra elections which quickly secured Eknath Shinde's support for the Chief Minister position.

Published: Jan 11 2025, 10 ameznews.inChaos erupted at the City Car Mall in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, when a monkey attacked a female customer, snatching her shoe in the process. A viral video captured the pandemonium as storekeepers attempted to capture the unruly animal with a blanket while the woman crouched in fear.

After several attempts to restrain it, the monkey continued its assault, repeatedly targeting the woman before finally stealing her shoe and nibbling on it.

Published: Jan 11 2025, 9 ameznews.inScientists have identified the cause behind the Sun's unusual blue appearance in Earth's atmosphere nearly 200 years ago, linking it to a significant volcanic eruption in 1831. The Zavaritskii volcano, located on the remote island of Simushir—a disputed territory between Russia and Japan—was the epicenter of this eruption, which released vast amounts of sulfur dioxide, leading to global cooling and bizarre climatic conditions that year. A study published in the _Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences_ utilized ice core records to confirm the eruption’s timing and explosive nature. Co-author Will Hutchison noted the lack of direct observational records due to the island's isolation, emphasizing the challenges of predicting future eruptions. Historically, such events, like the 1815 Mount Tambora eruption, have caused significant global impacts, and experts warn of a one-in-six chance of a similar eruption occurring this century, which could have severe economic and climatic consequences.

RPG Enterprises Chairman Harsh Goenka also criticized the idea, advocating for work-life balance and warning that excessive work could lead to burnout.
