Every Neighbourhood Youth Parliament, or NYP, was planned to bring in at least 80 young people from a block through four structured sessions: a briefing on the MY Bharat portal, a session on understanding substance abuse and the challenges before India's youth, a session on moving from awareness to action…

The two activities were held on 6 and 7 November 2026 as the eighth week of a campaign that is designed to run for 100 weeks, so that work against substance abuse continues as a steady weekly engagement rather than a one-day event.

The Deepotsav leg of the drive was the bigger of the two, with 435 programmes and 568 activities, and it accounted for 1,10,101 of the participants.

It organised the nationwide Deepotsav along with Nasha Mukt Yuva Par Paricharcha through Neighbourhood Youth Parliaments as the eighth week of the Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan, drawing more than a lakh participants.

In its opening statement India said it aligned itself with the statements made by the G77 and China grouping, by the Like Minded Developing Countries and by the BASIC group, and OPEC does not appear among them.

India welcomed the Presidency's framing of the session as a COP of Implementation and read the three words in order: dialogue builds trust among the parties, consensus ensures that the outcome is collectively owned, and action converts commitments into progress on the ground.

India told the Conference that public finance from developed countries remains central to driving climate action in developing countries and to strengthening adaptation finance flows, and it underscored the fundamental importance of Article 9.1 of the Paris Agreement, which places the obligation to provide financial resources on developed countries.

The 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is being hosted there, and India used its opening statement to seek a fair, equitable and ambitious outcome from the session.

He earned the Grandmaster title and in doing so became the hundredth Indian player to hold it, which is why the moment was described as India hitting a century in chess.

Ruthu of Ippatam village in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, was a waste picker at the age of 20 when she joined a short course under this initiative at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Guntur.

Good quality spawn had become the binding constraint as mushroom growing spread from Anantpur to the villages around it, so the laboratory addressed a critical input rather than production itself.

Mushroom growing in that village began with Anita Devi, who took guidance from the Krishi Vigyan Kendra at Harnaut block in 2010 and raised oyster and milky white mushrooms on farm waste.
