Ginnorgarh, some 60 kms from Bhopal, was the stronghold of Gonds under Rani Kamlapati, which, after her demise, was occupied by Dost Mohammad, the founder Nawab of Bhopal. The Ginnorgarh fort, now in ruins, is not only picturesque but is also an architectural marvel.

Multiple factors have contributed to a surge in the fodder prices that have jumped three times within one year across several states in north India. From devastating heatwaves affecting production of wheat (later used as fodder), scarcity of water, farmers' preference for mustard crop, and and inter-state ban on fodder movement, an unprecedented fodder crisis is forcing cattle rearers to sell their cattle at throwaway prices, or abandon them. Here's a ground report from Rajasthan, the state with the second highest cattle population in the country.

In Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh, the water they bring for the family is also contaminated by unsafe levels of fluoride that poses a serious threat to their family's health. Can fluoride removal plants solve the growing problem of water contamination?
