India’s crop contribution to agriculture GDP declined to 54.1% in 2023–24, the lowest in over a decade. Cereals like wheat and paddy saw major declines, while livestock products such as milk and meat rose sharply. Fishing and spice exports also gained share. This shift signals changing food demand patterns and evolving rural economics. BulletsIn Crop

From July 1, Delhi will start seizing old, polluting vehicles—called End-of-Life (EOL) vehicles—to curb air pollution. Vehicles older than 15 years (petrol) or 10 years (diesel) will be impounded if found at fuel stations or public places. Automated cameras at 500 fuel stations will help identify them. Owners face fines of up to ₹10,000, along

Scientists have discovered two insects—a fly and an ant—in 99-million-year-old amber from Myanmar, both infected with a parasitic fungus. The fungus appears to control the insects’ behavior, similar to modern “zombie-ant fungi.” The discovery was made by researchers at Yunnan University, China, and is believed to be the earliest evidence of fungus-insect parasitic interaction.
