New Delhi, March 15 : Asian medallist Annu Rani on Monday bettered her own meet record with a throw of 63.24 metres in the women's javelin throw, but fell short of the Tokyo Olympic qualification mark of 64 metres, on the opening day of the Senior National Federation Cup athletics.
The 28-year-old Uttar Pradesh international thrower looked in good form after having recorded a throw of 61.45m in her opening throw meet at Patiala's National Institute of Sports (NIS). But on her third attempt, she hurled the javelin to a distance of 63.24 metres which was better than her own meet record of 62.34 metres, set in 2019.

Hima, running her first 100-metre race of the season, clocked 11.67 seconds -- and sent a warning to her rivals -- at Patiala's National Institute of Sports. Hima

Who Is Hima Das?
Hima Das is a name very well-known, famous for the efforts, dedication, and never-ending achievements. People address her as "Dhing Express". The reason behind this is her speed at which she moved ahead in the phase of her career, contributing not only towards her accomplishments but also towards the entire nation at such an early age. Hima Das is the first woman athlete who represented India and obtained gold in the running event of the IAAF World U20 Championships. She made a record by completing the race in 51.46 seconds.
Early Life of Hima Das
Hima Das belongs to a very small village called Kandhulimari, which is close to Dhing town of the Assam state. Ronjit and Jonali Das, her parents, are from the community of Kaibarta. Her father is a farmer who earns a livelihood by cultivating rice. However, that never stopped her from pursuing her passion; instead, it became a boon for her by making her strong and determined.

‘Modi_job_do’ hashtag has become the global hashtag used by students and educated but unemployed people in India.
'Modi job do' hashtag
'Modi_job_do' hashtag has become the global hashtag used by students and educated but unemployed people in India. They are demanding fair and timely job recruitment process, timely exam and results, increase vacancies and reform in exams. To the surprise, this hashtag is trending at No.1 on Twitter. The rising of unemployment crisis of the country is reflected through this hashtag.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit India, we were already passing through the highest unemployment of last 45 years. Again the pandemic took the nation in a very difficult situation with private companies laying off employees, labourers left with no work and government delaying recruitment processes for various departments. Only 400 million people are employed after the pandemic. As the election proceeds, the political members are busy in campaigning on the one hand, and on the other, the unemployed members of the country are feeling helpless and frustrated. This is a long term problem of the country and can be termed as a 'Traditional Problem'. But, this time the unemployment rate has crossed all the limits.

Extension of Armed Forces Special Power Act in State Questioned
The Anti-Corruption Youth-Power, Assam (ACYPA) has questioned as to why the Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) has been extended for another six-month term in Assam
STAFF REPORTER
GUWAHATI: The Anti-Corruption Youth-Power, Assam (ACYPA) has questioned as to why the Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) has been extended for another six-month term in Assam at a time when most of the insurgent groups have laid down arms and the State government is claiming that the situation in the State is peaceful.
Addressing the media here on Saturday, ACYPA president Dharmakanta Gogoi said, "The State government had been in deep slumber over the last four years. It woke up all of a sudden and started the process of appointments in various departments, but in most of the cases their moves remain in advertisements with the poll code of conduct enforced in the State. This government is led by a party that promised to give jobs to two lakh candidates per year. However, it has failed to provide jobs to even 50,000 youths in five years, let alone ten lakh as promised. The government has failed utterly in providing jobs to jobless people.

Patiala, Feb 25 : Assam's sprint prodigy Hima Das won the women's 200m race while Odisha's Dutee Chand dominated 100m in the second leg of the Indian Grand Prix meet at Patiala's National Institute of Sports here on Thursday.
Hima's winning time of 23.31 seconds in her first race after a long layoff due to back injury could be seen as good performance, but it fell short of Tokyo Olympic qualification time of 22.80 seconds.
Hima, the 21-year-old 2018 world junior 400m champion and national record holder of 50.79 seconds, hasn't done well over the one-lap race since April 2019 due to lower back pain. She has now switched to shorter sprints -- 100m and 200m. She is also one of the key runners in the national women's 4x100m relay team.
