The UN General Assembly has voted to replace the traditional world map with one that more accurately reflects the size of Africa. The "Correct the Map" resolution, sponsored by Togo and backed by African Union (AU) members, passed with the support of 164 nations, including France and the UK. The United States was the only nation to vote against it, while six countries abstained.

The UN vote is non-binding, but it will encourage governments and institutions to stop using the traditional Mercator map. The Mercator map, which has been in common use since the 16th Century, has come in for criticism as it shows Africa as similar in size to Greenland, even though it is 14 times larger. Critics say this leads to the development needs and potential for countries near the equator to be minimised.

A historic new frontier for India’s space journey!

At 11:30 AM 18th July , Skyroot Aerospace will undertake the maiden orbital launch of Vikram-1, India’s first privately developed launch vehicle.

My best wishes to the entire Skyroot Aerospace team for a successful launch. May Vikram-1 soar high, create history and inspire a generation of innovators.

I urge all Indians, especially my young friends, to follow this historic mission and join in wishing Team Skyroot success using .

🌍 Happy World Food Safety Day! 🌍

​Today, on June 7th, the World Human Rights Council (WHRC) stands together to remind the world that access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food is not just a privilege—it is a fundamental human right. 🛡️🍽️

​Safe food is essential for sustaining life and promoting good health. Yet, the invisible risks of contaminated food are staggering:

🔹 600 million people fall ill annually from foodborne illnesses.
🔹 420,000 lives are lost every year, disproportionately affecting our most vulnerable communities and children.
​Food safety is everyone's responsibility. It requires vigilance at every single stage—from production to harvest, processing, storage, distribution, preparation, and consumption. EVERY step matters! 🌾🚜👩‍🍳

​Let's work together for a world where everyone has access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food. Because safe food today means healthy people tomorrow.
​Safe Food. Stronger Communities. A Better World. 🕊️
