00:10:02the new power center of the country. Kartavya Bhavan, which houses
00:10:06several important ministries, including the Ministry of Home
00:10:10Affairs, under one roof, embodies the vision of the Government
00:10:13of India for administrative reform, digital inclusion and
00:10:17green governance. Not only that, this building sets
00:10:20an example of better coordination by bringing various ministries
00:10:24and departments under one roof. Kartavya Bhavan
00:10:27is equipped with modern, green and energy-efficient
00:10:30structures. It is spread
00:10:33over an area of approximately 1.5 lakh square meters.

00:10:57and the Principal Scientific Advisor. All the ministries
00:11:01and departments of the Government of India have come quite
00:11:05close. Everything has been located, so the official
00:11:09communications and movement of files in government
00:11:12work has also become very fast and easy. The coordination
00:11:16between ministries has also improved significantly. Meetings
00:11:19can now be held
00:11:22quickly. It has also become much easier to consult
00:11:26with other departments. Kartavya Bhavan Three has been
00:11:29designed as a GRI A4 rated
00:11:33green building, which includes double glazed
00:11:36glass, rooftop solar panels, solar water
00:11:39heaters, rainwater harvesting and advanced heating,
00:11:43ventilation and air conditioning systems.
00:11:47The building has energy-saving LED
00:11:50lights, smart lifts and sensor-based
00:11:54electricity control system. This makes
00:11:57this building use approximately 30%
00:12:00less energy compared to traditional
00:12:03buildings. The solar panels installed in the
00:12:07building generate 5.34 lakh
00:12:09units of electricity annually. Solar water heaters
00:12:13meet 25% of the hot water requirements.
00:12:16The cafeteria built in the building is also
00:12:19popular, where discussions over tea lead to talks
00:12:23about the progress of the
00:12:26country and the state. We all sit together in this entire section, our US sit behind us, our
00:12:29section officers are with us, so we can coordinate well with
00:12:33each other. Our canteen there was a bit
00:12:36small due to size constraints. Here there is plenty of space,
00:12:40you can have lunch comfortably. We really liked the
00:12:43infrastructure of this building. The seating arrangement is very good.
00:12:47The cafeteria is quite vast, the space is good, many people
00:12:51can come together. The online system here is very good.
00:12:55So overall, it's a very good improvement for us. Toilets
00:12:59are very clean, so it's a very good experience overall.
00:13:02Kartavya Bhavan Three presents a model of wastewater
00:13:06treatment and reuse. If we compare,
00:13:09Kartavya Bhavan Three alone consumes 76% less electricity
00:13:13compared to the old building. In figures,
00:13:16445 thousand units less electricity
00:13:19is consumed per month, which in rupees is
00:13:234.5 bank
00:13:41to post office, so in this way, the facilities here have
00:13:44gradually improved a lot and have become better. And the biggest
00:13:48thing is the infrastructure that the office has received,
00:13:52your clean seats, your computers, everything is modern, all the
00:15:37and the value is about 40 lakh rupees. The amount received from the auction
00:15:41will be used for various social welfare activities such
00:15:45as education of girl students
00:15:46and health of children.
00:15:50President Draupadi Murmu's vision is to make Rashtrapati Bhavan
00:15:54truly the nation's house, i.e.,
00:15:57a public building that belongs to every citizen of the country.
00:16:00Under this vision of the President, the third edition of e-Upahar
00:16:03has been launched. In the third edition,
00:16:07300 gifts received by the President will be auctioned,
00:16:11which represent India's rich artistic traditions, craftsmanship
00:16:14and diplomatic heritage. The auction process on the e-Upahar.
00:16:18rashtrapatibhavan.gov.in
00:16:21portal will run from August 5 to September 5.
00:16:24This is a unique initiative under which the
00:16:28amount received from the auction is used for various
00:16:32The main objective of e-Upahar is that the gifts
00:16:36received by our honorable President
00:16:39and our former Presidents, the gifts
00:16:43received in the country, we select them through
00:16:46a committee and among them, the best gifts
00:16:50are given for public
00:16:53amount of money we receive from it
00:16:57is given for a social cause. So the main
00:17:01issue is that we want these treasures received
00:17:04by the President to also reach the people
00:17:08and people keep them as a souvenir and the money
00:17:12that comes from it, we can give it for a good
00:17:15cause. The e-Upahar initiative was started
00:17:19in 2024. In the first two editions, 413
00:17:23gifts received by the President were auctioned,
00:17:26from which an amount of about 76 lakh rupees
00:17:30was received. This amount was used for the welfare
00:17:35including school children, women and the elderly. According
00:17:39to the vision of President Draupadi Murmu, the entire
00:17:42amount received from the third edition of e-Upahar will be
00:17:45used for the education, scholarships and skill
00:17:49development of girl students from Scheduled Tribes
00:17:52and other deprived communities, as well as for the treatment
00:17:55of children suffering from serious diseases like cancer. This
00:17:59time, the proceeds from this will be used
00:18:03for two important works. One is palliative
00:18:07care, cancer care. This will be given to
00:18:10those who are struggling with life-threatening diseases
00:18:13like this. And the second cause is that we want to help
00:18:16the girls, the tribal girls
00:18:20who are studying in different schools, their skill development,
00:18:24their other educational development that should happen.
00:18:28We are thinking of giving these funds for these two
00:18:31causes. In the third edition of e-Upahar, several
00:18:35gifts received by President Draupadi Murmu in honor
00:18:38of Operation Sindoor, such as a replica of Shri
00:18:42Ram Darbar and Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple of Ayodhya,
00:18:45crafts made from the paddy of Lord Jagannath, Devi
00:18:48Subhadra and Lord Balram, and a replica of the Golden
00:18:52Temple in Amritsar, have been put up for auction.
00:18:56The total reserve price of all 300 gifts
00:19:00has been kept at about 40 lakh rupees. This initiative,
00:19:03launched on the occasion of President Draupadi Murmu
00:19:37was a sign of poison, and every heartbeat
00:19:41that testified to life, everything changed
00:19:44in an instant. On August 6,
00:19:471945, the atomic bomb dropped
00:19:51on the Japanese city of Hiroshima not only destroyed buildings
00:19:55and people, but also forced the entire human
00:19:59society to think that when the power of science
00:20:02separates from ethics and compassion,
00:20:05how horrific its consequences can be. Hiroshima Day
00:20:09is not just a date, but a memory
00:20:12that still reminds the world of the need for sensitivity
00:20:16and peace today. When America's
00:20:20atomic bomb, Little Boy, fell on Hiroshima,
00:20:23thousands of lives were wiped out in an instant.
00:20:26The city burned, and families searched
00:20:29for their loved ones amidst the rubble,
00:20:33ash, and smoke. By the time years passed,
00:20:36about 1 lakh 40 thousand people had died. These deaths
00:20:39did not come all at once. Some people were immediately
00:20:43crushed by the debris or burned to death in the fire.
00:20:47The survivors slowly succumbed to radiation,
00:20:50severe burns, internal injuries, and poisonous black rain.
00:20:54However, the story of Hiroshima was not limited
00:20:57to pain alone. Even after complete destruction,
00:21:00this city chose the path of renewal and peace,
00:21:03not revenge. The eyewitnesses of Hiroshima
00:21:07are now becoming a part of history, but this
00:21:11city still does not let the world forget.
00:21:15Memories, museums, and messages of peace
00:21:18still remind us that the misuse of nuclear
00:21:21power can be so deadly.
00:21:24The tragedy of Hiroshima is a warning. If we do not
00:21:28learn from history, the future can be
00:21:31even more horrific. The memory of Hiroshima
00:21:35teaches us every day that peace
00:21:38is the only way.
00:21:40Bureau Report, DD News.
00:21:42Let's turn to international news. Amidst the US-Iran conflict,
00:21:46Iran has warned Gulf countries that if the US
00:21:50attacks it again, it can retaliate by targeting
00:21:53key energy installations across the region.
00:21:57According to news agency Reuters, Iran has sent a message
00:22:02to pressure them. According to two senior Iranian
00:22:05officials, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has also
00:22:09held talks with the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Turkey
00:22:12and Qatar. He has appealed to the Gulf allies to try
00:22:16to stop new attacks on Iran by putting pressure
00:22:20on President Donald Trump. Araghchi warned that any
00:22:24attack on Iran could be retaliated by targeting
00:22:28US bases and energy installations in the Gulf region.
00:22:31This warning was given after US President Donald
00:22:35Trump's threat to attack Iran's energy network
00:22:38and infrastructure.
00:22:41Even after the attacks stopped between the US and Iran,
00:22:45tensions are not subsiding. The US President has claimed
00:22:49that Iran wants to negotiate with the US, but Iran
00:22:53is denying this. Spokesperson of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
00:22:58continuous talks and contact are going on with officials
00:23:01from Pakistan and Qatar. However, currently there
00:23:05is no plan for Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi or Parliament
00:23:09Speaker Mohammad Bagher Galibaf to visit Pakistan or Qatar.
00:23:13Spokesperson of Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ismail Baghai,
00:23:16said that reaching an agreement with Oman on the movement
00:23:20of ships in the Strait of Hormuz does not mean that
00:23:23a completely safe environment has been created there.
00:23:27According to Al Jazeera, he said that if US military
00:23:30action and pressure continue, the security of the Strait
00:23:34of Hormuz will remain at risk. On the other hand, US President
00:23:37Donald Trump has claimed that Iran itself has expressed
00:23:41a desire to negotiate
00:23:42with the US. He said that
00:23:47if Iran makes a deal, it will be better for it.
00:23:51Russia has once again launched extremely fierce and devastating
00:23:54attacks on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, causing

00:24:01have informed that at least 14 people were killed
00:24:05and 27 were seriously injured in these continuous
00:24:09attacks throughout the night. During these attacks, which
00:24:13started after midnight
00:24:16inhabitants, air raid sirens blared for more than an hour.
00:24:20According to the administration, these bombings targeted
00:24:24seven different locations in Kyiv, causing heavy
00:24:28damage to several buildings and warehouses. Due to the attacks,
00:24:31an ammonia gas leak also started at one place, which relief
00:24:35and rescue teams immediately rushed to control. On the other
00:24:39hand, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed on Wednesday
00:24:42that it targeted logistics hubs and supply centers
00:24:46in and around Kyiv that were allegedly being used for
00:24:50military purposes. However, both Russia and Ukraine
00:24:53have denied claims of targeting civilians in this fierce war,
00:24:57but this latest attack
00:25:03has further deepened the devastation of the war.
