From the fragrant White Ginger Lily to its traditional uses, Pakhilaphul reflects the rich medicinal knowledge associated with India’s flora.
Its rhizome, flowers, stems, leaves and young shoots have been traditionally used for a range of concerns, including fever, rheumatism, digestive and respiratory problems.

A clean workplace is not just about how it looks when someone walks in. It’s about how easily people can find what they need, use what they have and get work done.
#SpecialCampaign6 is turning everyday workplace habits into more efficient ways of working.

Today's #RamsarSpotlight takes us to Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary in Karnataka.
The story of its waters goes back centuries. A weir across the Cauvery, built between 1645 and 1648 during the reign of Kantirava Narasaraja Wodeyar, helps maintain the wetland's water levels.
A landscape where history continues to shape the waterscape.

Addressed the Launch Workshop of the JICA-assisted Project ‘Capacity Enhancement for Effective Forest Management’ in Delhi today.
Mentioned how capacity enhancement of front line workers is not confined to periodic classroom training and how it must equip personnel to apply scientific knowledge, emerging technologies and practical skills in field conditions, while strengthening their ability to work with local communities and other stakeholders.
The given project marks another milestone in the longstanding cooperation between the @MOEFCC and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in the forestry sector.

Today's #RamsarSpotlight takes us to Ankasamudra Bird Conservation Reserve in Karnataka.
Centuries ago, local communities built the wetland to harvest and store monsoon runoff across the dry Deccan Plateau.
A reminder that traditional water wisdom can leave a lasting mark on the landscape.

Saving the rhino, restoring grasslands 🦏
Under the leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi ji, India is pushing for the expansion of rhino range.
India is moving ahead with the realisation that species conservation is intrinsically linked to the conservation of their ecosystems. The rhinoceros is a large herbivore whose survival is closely linked to healthy alluvial and Terai grasslands and wetlands.
My article in the @IndianExpress on how India is moving ahead with the expansion of rhino habitats.

Today's #RamsarSpotlight takes us to Aghanashini Estuary in Karnataka.
For generations, local communities here have cultivated Kagga rice, a traditional salt-tolerant variety, in the estuarine rice fields.
Where the land meets the sea, generations have learned to grow with the landscape.

Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji, species conservation has received strong focus over the past decade.
Several new conservation initiatives have been launched, including the CAMPA-assisted Project Rhino, which will strengthen rhino conservation while also protecting critical grassland ecosystems.
On World Rhino Day, we celebrate the magnificent greater one-horned rhinoceros and laud all those at the forefront of its protection.
Assam now holds nearly 80% of the world’s rhino population and Kaziranga’s efforts to end rhino poaching have been extensively appreciated.
On one hand, rhinos have either returned or are well protected in parts of Bihar and West Bengal. On the other hand, success of reintroduction of rhinos in Dudhwa (Uttar Pradesh) is creating history. This shows the sustained commitment of our people towards animal protection and active wildlife management in the range states.
Taking species conservation in the country forward, I am happy to share that Project Rhino has been initiated for financial and technical support to the range states for protection, habitat management, genetic improvement and understanding population dynamics.

The Greater One-Horned Rhino needs more than one protected space to thrive.
Across India, conservation is creating stronger, connected landscapes where rhinos can survive, recover and continue to be part of our natural heritage.
On #WorldRhinoDay2026, we celebrate every landscape that gives the rhino a future.

They may look tough on the outside, but Indian Rhinos are an important part of a much bigger story- the story of our forests, grasslands and wildlife.
Let’s protect these gentle giants and the wild spaces they depend on.

The story of the Indian Rhino is also a story of what conservation can achieve.
With over 70% of its population in Kaziranga, the species has a stronghold where it can thrive.
Let’s keep building on this success and ensure that India’s Rhinos continue to flourish in the wild.
