Nobody supported any merger to kill Nandini, Amul's a cooperative gets many of its products manufactured from KMF & procures milk from our dairy farmers paying a fair price. Check who own franchisees for private dairy brands with questionable quality from neighbouring states!

The recent complaints about the Nandini ghee price hike are a distraction. The people complaining now were silent when the real threat to our state's pride appeared: Amul's entry into Karnataka. Let's be clear: the Congress government's main goal is to support Karnataka's dairy…

Dear @svembu sir, respectfully none of these National Missions for technology ever work. We need to hack the problem at roots. The University education system. Professors , students, labs and the entire research ecosystem is below mediocre at best. That’s where change needs to…

I agree. And we have a lot more such tech dependency beyond the app level: OS, chips, fabs, .. it goes deeper and deeper. We need a 10 year "National Mission for Tech Resilience". It can be done.

A pampered kid was constantly crying. A saintly man, known for his patience, decided to calm him down. He asked gently, “Dear child, why are you crying ?” Kid (crying loudly): “Nobody listens to me!” Man: “Please stop crying. I will listen to you. Tell me what do you want.”…
