PM calls for women's empowerment, launches initiative to enrol lakhs as insurance agents
Monday, 9 December 2024 Prime Minister Modi launched the 'Bima Sakhi' initiative in Panipat, Haryana, aiming to empower women by enrolling them as insurance agents and expand insurance coverage. He highlighted the government's commitment to women's progress and support for farmers, citing over ₹1.25 lakh crore disbursed as MSP in Haryana during previous terms and additional drought relief funds.
India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.
