2.Health Ministry Launches Snack Nutrition Awareness Campaign
The Indian Health Ministry has initiated a campaign to display nutritional information about popular snacks. This move aims to raise awareness about hidden sugars, oils, and trans fats in everyday foods. The campaign targets reducing lifestyle diseases linked to unhealthy diets.
Recent Initiative and Pilot Project
The campaign began with a pilot at AIIMS Nagpur. Calorie count posters now appear beside popular food stalls. These posters detail sugar, fat, and trans-fat content. They also warn about long-term health risks from frequent consumption. The goal is to encourage moderation rather than complete avoidance. The campaign will expand to other cities soon.

3.India’s Path to 70% Round-The-Clock Clean Electricity
India is set to achieve 70% round-the-clock (RTC) clean electricity for commercial and industrial consumers by 2030. This strategy promises lower costs than traditional annual clean energy procurement. A recent report by Transition Zero, global climate analytics non-profit, marks the potential benefits of deploying 52 GW of RTC clean electricity capacity. This would meet 5% of India’s projected national electricity demand and save up to ₹9,000 crore ($1 billion) annually for the grid.
