 | How is Tata Sons doing under chairman N Chandrasekaran, who joined the group as a trainee in 1987, and has been in the saddle for three years? |  |  | As non-executive director of the Tata Sons board since 2016, industrialist Ajay Piramal has had a ringside view of the shakeup at the Tata Group, with the removal of Cyrus Mistry as chairman in October 2016 and arrival of N Chandrasekaran from TCS to lead the conglomerate in February 2017. | |  | An obsession with self-improvement and productivity is taking over our lives, enabled by an ecosystem of wearable gadgets, bullet journals and apps. An ecosystem of blogs, books, videos, podcasts and apps feeds the desire to improve oneself to the point that it feels like the central purpose of life, that failing at it would mean failing at life itself. | |  | The new regime would help STEM students & professionals get permanent residence faster. | |  | India has been participating in the Olympics for a very long time but our results have been limited to hockey and some individual sports such as shooting, badminton, wrestling and boxing. We have had a limited presence. This base needs to be broadened. We can't go to the Olympics hoping to win only one or two medals, said Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports Kiren Rijiju. | |  | Starting with 2012 as Modi's political aide, he has taken positions in varying roles in 9 elections. | |  | Not long after the results in Delhi, Prashant Kishor has emerged in Patna, launching a campaign that many believe might lead to his own entry into electoral politics. Once a backroom aide who obsessed over his privacy, Kishor is getting used to being recognised in public. | |  | It seems to be a win-win situation for humans and animals. Both have welcomed new elevated stretches of highways on the Seoni (Madhya Pradesh)-Nagpur (Maharashtra) sector of the national highway 44 passing through the Pench Tiger Reserve. | |  | hey could be ecologists who have spent their life studying conservation, concerned citizens who feel it is time to roll up their sleeves or a committed forest officer. Often, it is a combination of all three because conservation is a complex task, involving many stakeholders. | |  | An Arunachali tribe, forest department and researchers join hands to set up a unique community reserve around a rare bird. | |  | Situation had become so dire that by 2007, nearly all of the 182-hectare lake in Banki in Cuttack district was covered by the weeds except for a seven-hectare patch. The CDA created hundreds of staggered trenches, check dams and percolation tanks and plugged gullies bringing silt from the hills to conserve moisture and recharge groundwater to save it. | |  | Over the course of a decade and with the help of thousands of volunteers, more than 70 companies and the Gurgaon Municipal Corporation, the ravaged patch of land has been rewilded into what ecologists cite as a fine example of urban conservation that gives preeminence to native species. | |  | Ornithologists in the Rajasthan desert are trying to save the great Indian bustard with successful captive breeding of 9 birds. Most of the bustards now live in the Thar area, with about 20 of them distributed across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. | |  | Today, the Beas in Punjab is the only Indian habitat of the functionally blind mammal, which uses echolocation to navigate underwater and hunt for food. "Till 2017, there was no legal protection for this area from the Wildlife (Protection) Act. Declaring it a conservation reserve was important," says Kuldeep Kumar, Punjab's principal chief conservator of forests. | |  | Menstrual taboo is at the heart of the shaming and exclusion of women in Swaminarayan sect's hostel and Sabarimala temple. Can we look at menstruation as a bodily activity that requires a sanitary napkin, not one that should be silenced and stigmatised? | |  | Samsung has retained key S-Pen features in the Note 10 Lite at half the price of its elder - and expensive - sibling. | | |
