Odisha’s New Governor Braj Mohan Ram Puts Jobs, Healthcare and Education on Priority List

Bhubaneswar, Oct 14 (UDN): Newly appointed Odisha Governor Braj Mohan Ram has identified employment, healthcare, education and farmers’ welfare as key areas of focus, saying he will work in coordination with the state government to address public concerns and support Odisha’s development.

 Representational Image 

Ram is expected to arrive in Odisha shortly to assume office. Speaking to the media following his appointment, he said he would assess the state’s needs through discussions with Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and members of the public before deciding on appropriate steps.

“The duty is to serve the people,” Ram said, emphasising the importance of cooperation and engagement in addressing the state’s challenges.

Jobs, Healthcare and Education in Focus

The incoming Governor highlighted unemployment, access to healthcare and education as major concerns requiring attention. He also stressed the need to listen to farmers and ensure that their issues receive due consideration.

Ram indicated that his approach would involve understanding ground realities and coordinating with the state government to identify ways to address these challenges.

Mineral Wealth Seen as an Opportunity

Referring to Odisha’s abundant mineral resources, Ram said the state’s natural wealth could play an important role in tackling unemployment.

His remarks underscored the potential to use the state’s resources to support economic activity and create employment opportunities, although he did not announce any specific initiative or timeline.

Pledges Cooperation for State’s Development

Ram expressed gratitude to the central leadership and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for entrusting him with the responsibility of Governor.

He said he would engage with the Chief Minister and citizens as required, assess the situation and work towards the state’s progress.

His priorities signal an emphasis on public welfare and cooperation with the elected government as he prepares to take charge as Odisha’s constitutional head.

Lioness Shreya Gives Birth to Cub at Nandankanan; Newborn Under Special Care

Bhubaneswar, Oct 14 (UDN): Asiatic lioness Shreya has given birth to a cub at Nandankanan Zoological Park near Bhubaneswar, but the newborn is currently being raised under specialised care after the first-time mother reportedly failed to accept it.

 Representational Image 

Shreya, housed in enclosure number 18, delivered a single cub on Tuesday evening, according to reports. As she did not provide maternal care to the newborn, zoo authorities separated the cub from her and shifted it to the infant animal care centre within the veterinary hospital premises.

Experienced animal keepers are now bottle-feeding the cub with diluted milk formula. The newborn is being kept under controlled lighting and monitored as part of its early care.

First-Time Mother Does Not Accept Cub

The birth marked Shreya’s first pregnancy. Reports said the lioness did not show the expected maternal response towards the newborn, prompting zoo officials to intervene to ensure its care and survival.

The cub was born after Shreya mated with Asiatic lion Harsh. Both lions were born on August 29, 2024, to lion Samrat and lioness Bijli, along with another cub, Dhruv. As Shreya and Harsh are siblings, the newborn is the result of inbreeding.

Concerns Over Cub Survival

The latest birth comes amid concerns over the survival of lion cubs born through closely related pairings at the zoo.

Last month, lioness Maya gave birth to two cubs following mating with Shivam, who is also her litter-mate. One cub was stillborn, while the other, a male, died four days after birth while receiving veterinary care, according to the report.

The recent cases highlight the challenges involved in raising newborn lion cubs at Nandankanan, particularly when maternal care is absent or the cubs face additional risks.

Newborn Receives Intensive Care

With Shreya not caring for her cub, the immediate focus remains on providing appropriate feeding and a controlled environment for the newborn. Its long-term survival will depend on its condition and response to the care being provided.

Zoo authorities are continuing to care for the cub at the infant animal care centre. No further details about its current health condition or long-term prospects were available in the report.

Odisha Relaxes Mandatory EV Hiring Rule, Allows Fuel Vehicles After Failed Tenders

Bhubaneswar, Oct 14 (UDN): The Odisha Government has relaxed its mandatory electric vehicle (EV) hiring policy, permitting departments to hire petrol- and diesel-powered vehicles if open tenders for electric vehicles fail to attract eligible bids.

 Representational Image 

The Finance Department announced the relaxation through an Office Memorandum, citing operational difficulties faced by government offices, including a lack of responsive bids for EVs.

The earlier directive, issued on June 4, 2026, had made EV hiring mandatory from June 1 as part of the state government’s efforts to reduce fuel expenditure amid the West Asia crisis.

Fuel Vehicles Allowed Under Specific Conditions

Under the revised guidelines, departments can opt for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles only after inviting open tenders for EVs and receiving no responsive bids.

The concerned offices must submit documentary evidence of the unsuccessful tender to their administrative departments before proceeding with the alternative arrangement.

Where a hired vehicle is intended to replace a condemned or scrapped government vehicle, the administrative department can approve the relaxation. However, hiring a vehicle for a new office or post, or without scrapping an existing vehicle, will require prior concurrence from the Finance Department, supported by proper justification.

Departments to Conduct Their Own Hiring Process

The new guidelines also change the procedure for hiring vehicles. Individual government offices will now invite their own open tenders after obtaining approval from the competent authority, instead of routing the process through the Odisha Renewable Energy Development Agency (OREDA).

Vehicles already deployed by OREDA will continue to serve the concerned departments and organisations until their existing contracts expire. After that, OREDA will withdraw completely from vehicle hiring and provisioning for other government departments and organisations.

Revised Order Takes Immediate Effect

The revised order has come into effect immediately and provides departments with an alternative when EV hiring proves unworkable through the tendering process.

While the state’s policy continues to prioritise electric vehicles, the relaxation is intended to address practical difficulties in procurement and ensure that government offices can meet their transportation requirements when suitable EV bids are unavailable.

Dharmendra Pradhan Urges Gadkari to Address Safety Concerns on NH-49 in Debagarh

Bhubaneswar, Oct 14 (UDN): Former Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has urged Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari to take urgent measures to improve road safety and resolve traffic congestion along National Highway-49 in Odisha’s Debagarh district.

 Representational Image 

In a letter to Gadkari, Pradhan highlighted the risks posed by heavy inter-state freight and passenger traffic on the highway, calling for structural interventions at accident-prone junctions and densely populated stretches.

He proposed three key measures aimed at improving traffic flow, protecting pedestrians and making daily travel safer for residents.

Flyover Proposed at Ambedkar Square

Pradhan stressed the need for an elevated flyover, a dedicated service road and an adequate highway lighting system at the Y-junction near Ambedkar Square, located at the beginning of the Debagarh bypass.

The junction experiences frequent traffic movement because major public institutions, including the Collectorate, New Bus Stand and Women’s College, are situated nearby. The mixing of fast-moving highway traffic with local vehicles and pedestrians has raised concerns over road safety.

Pradhan said suitable infrastructure at the junction was urgently needed to reduce traffic conflicts and improve movement through the area.

Underpass, Slip Road Sought at Birsamunda Square

The former Union Minister also called for the construction of an underpass and a slip road at Birsamunda Square to improve connectivity and minimise disruptions caused by highway traffic.

In addition, he sought the development of service roads, drainage systems and pedestrian-safety infrastructure in populated areas, including Kala, Kandhal and Tileibani.

These measures, he said, would help separate local traffic from through traffic and make road use safer for residents.

Appeal for Permanent Solutions

Sharing details of the letter on X, Pradhan said he had requested Gadkari’s intervention for better road infrastructure, enhanced safety measures and a lasting solution to traffic-related problems along NH-49 in Debagarh.

The proposed interventions are intended to address the challenges arising from heavy traffic movement while improving access to public institutions and essential services.

Pradhan’s appeal places the focus on long-term infrastructure improvements along the highway, particularly at busy junctions and inhabited stretches where highway traffic and local movement frequently intersect.

RuleMudra Launches a Fully Digital Platform for Short-Term Personal Loans in India

A platform driven by technology, which seeks to make short-term loans easier and more open via consensual verification, responsible assessment, and disbursement through RBI licensed lending partner(s)

NEW DELHI, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RuleMudra, a digital Lending Platform operated by TwoMinutes Fintech Private Limited, has launched a technology-led platform for facilitating short-term personal loans through RBI-regulated lending partners.

The platform has been launched for Indian borrowers who have a genuine need for funds, due to unforeseen circumstances like an unexpected medical expense, delayed payment, urgent travel, education expenses, rent or other family expenses.

The eligible customers can make use of their smartphones to apply for the loan, undergo the process of verification and understand the terms of the loan that suits them. After completion of the above process, the funds are directly transferred to the borrower’s bank account.

RuleMudra allows customers to get loan offers between ₹5,000 and ₹1 lakh depending upon eligibility, income, repayment capacity, and the credit policy of the lending partners.

Designed Around Real Financial Scenarios

There may not always be forewarning of a need for financial bridging. This situation could arise between two paychecks or during any other urgent situation where a payment cannot be delayed.

Besides figuring out how to arrange for the money, many consumers have questions about who to trust, the costs involved in the borrowing or whether some vital information is hidden in the fine print.

RuleMudra strives to simplify this process by combining verification, offer evaluation and e-contracting in one process. This process is paperless but includes all relevant KYC, income, credit and repayment capability tests.

The company says the platform has been created to support informed borrowing rather than encourage people to take credit unnecessarily.

A Conversation with RuleMudra’s Managing Director

Speaking about the idea behind the platform, Mr. Lavit Dighe, Managing Director, RuleMudra, said that digital lending needs to solve more than the problem of speed.

What prompted the launch of RuleMudra?

“We observed that someone who needs money in the short term always faces two questions simultaneously. One is about getting their problem solved, but the other is whether the platform is credible and if they have understood the process of repaying their debt.”

“That is the gap RuleMudra has been designed to address. We wanted to create an experience that feels simple to the customer without removing the checks and disclosures that responsible lending requires.”

How does RuleMudra balance convenience with responsible lending?

“Convenience cannot override proper assessment. Although a digital journey could mean less paperwork and less wait time, each applicant has to go through the process of verification. The final decision on loan approval rests on the regulated lending partner’s assessment of the client’s eligibility and their repayment capacity.”

“Our function is to help in the process and make it easier for the user to comprehend the information. We do not believe that responsible credit should be positioned as money available without questions or checks.”

Depending on the lending partner and the applicant’s profile, verification may include PAN, Aadhaar or other permitted identity checks, bureau information, income assessment, bank-account verification, Video KYC or liveness verification.

Account Aggregator-supported verification may also be used with the customer’s express consent, where applicable. This may enable the platform to digitally analyse the financial eligibility and lessen dependency on manual submission of bank statements.

What makes transparency so crucial to the platform?

“When a person is dealing with an urgent expense, it is easy to focus only on the amount being offered. But the interest rate, APR, processing fee, tenure, repayment schedule and total amount payable matter just as much.”

“Borrowers should have the opportunity to review these details before accepting an offer. We want customers to understand what they are agreeing to—not discover the cost later.”

Eligible applicants can look at the relevant Key Fact Statement and the terms of the loan before digitally accepting the offer. These could be the approved amount, Annual Percentage Rate, fees applicable, taxes, and repayment plan among others.

RuleMudra has a provision for an online RuleMudra Loan Calculator that will enable their customers to calculate the potential finance involved before going ahead and applying for the loan. The calculator displays an approximate EMI, amount of interest to be paid, repayment total and charges applicable if any, by providing the loan amount needed and tenure required. This is not the exact amount but the amount to be calculated is dependent on the customer’s eligibility and loan offer made. By making these details easier to review in advance, RuleMudra aims to promote transparency and help customers make better-informed borrowing decisions.

Does automation guarantee that all applications are instantly approved?

“No, and that distinction is important. Automation can make verification and assessment faster, but it cannot guarantee approval. Each application is evaluated according to the regulated lender’s credit policy.”

“Terms such as ‘quick’ or ‘instant’ should describe the potential efficiency of the digital process. They should never be interpreted as guaranteed approval or lending without verification.”

RuleMudra also clarifies that “zero paperwork” refers to the paperless nature of the journey. It does not mean that an applicant can receive a loan without submitting the required information or completing KYC and eligibility checks.

What should customers consider before borrowing?

“The first question should always be whether the expense is genuine and necessary. The second is whether the repayment will fit comfortably within the monthly budget.”

“A short-term loan can help manage a temporary gap, but it should not create a longer financial problem. We encourage customers to review the complete cost, consider their existing obligations and borrow only an amount they can reasonably repay.”

Building Trust Alongside Technology

RuleMudra’s platform combines digital verification, automated decision support and paperless documentation with customer consent and clear loan disclosures.

Once everything is approved, all checks have been completed, the funds are then transferred to the borrower’s verified bank account. The process might be expedited for those who qualify and have already been verified.

The company thinks that the future of online credit is going to depend not only on speed, but also clarity with which the platform communicates with its borrowers.

“Technology can shorten a journey, but trust is what makes that journey meaningful,” Mr. Lavit added. “We want to make short-term lending less confusing and more responsible at the same time.”

The Road Ahead

After this successful launch, RuleMudra intends to build its technology platform, expand its pool of licensed lending partners, and make transparent short-term loans accessible throughout India and if things go well maybe beyond the borders.

The company’s roadmap also includes enhancing automation-led decision support, developing more personalised customer journeys and strengthening financial education around credit, repayment and responsible borrowing.

Customer consent, data security, regulatory compliance and transparent communication will continue to remain central to the platform’s development.

About RuleMudra

RuleMudra is a technology-driven Lending Platform operated by TwoMinutes Fintech Private Limited offering a safe, seamless and entirely digitized experience for obtaining short-term personal loans through RBI-regulated lenders – DECIMUS FINANCIAL LIMITED & BASEL INVESTMENTS LIMITED.

Eligible borrowers may apply online, undertake the verification process, view the loan offer which is relevant to them and digitally accept the same. The loan sanction, loan pricing and disbursal is done by the concerned regulated lender.

Important Information

Loans are provided under certain eligibility, KYC, credit rating, repayment capability, and policies of the financing organisation. Timing of disbursement is not assured. Terms such as “instant,” “quick” and “zero paperwork” refer to the potential speed and paperless nature of the digital process; they do not mean guaranteed approval or verification-free lending. Applicants should carefully review the Key Fact Statement, APR, applicable charges, repayment schedule and total repayment obligation before borrowing.

Hundreds of Kites Descend on Puri’s Bada Danda, Draw Crowds Near Mausima Temple

Puri, Oct 14 (UDN): An unusual gathering of hundreds of kites on Puri’s Bada Danda near Mausima Temple caught the attention of residents and commuters on Wednesday morning, turning a busy stretch of the road into a striking spectacle.

 Representational Image 

The birds were seen congregating on the road and moving about in search of food. According to reports, food scattered along the stretch appeared to have attracted the kites, prompting them to gather in large numbers.

The birds repeatedly moved from one side of the road to the other as they tried to pick up food. However, the steady flow of traffic interrupted their feeding, forcing them to retreat whenever vehicles approached.

At times, the kites managed to seize food from the road, while at other moments they had to move away to avoid passing vehicles.

Unusual Scene Draws Public Attention

The large gathering soon became a point of curiosity for people in the area and commuters passing through the busy Grand Road. The sight of so many birds assembled in one place stood out against the usual bustle of the city’s main thoroughfare.

While the gathering offered an unusual spectacle for onlookers, the birds’ attempts to feed amid moving traffic also highlighted the challenges of sharing a busy urban space with wildlife.

The kites remained a visible presence on the stretch for some time, drawing attention from passersby before the usual movement of traffic continued around them.
