The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was founded on Vijayadashami, September 27, 1925, by Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar in Nagpur. This day was chosen symbolically to represent the victory of good over evil, justice over injustice, and truth over falsehood. The RSS was established as a volunteer organization aiming at nation-building through character-building, with a focus on personal transformation and service to society. The Sangh celebrates its centenary in 2025 with a special commemorative postage stamp and coin released by the Government of India.

Jane Goodall, the renowned British primatologist best known for her pioneering research on chimpanzees, passed away at the age of 91. She died of natural causes while on a speaking tour in California, as confirmed by the Jane Goodall Institute. Her groundbreaking work revolutionized the scientific understanding of primate behavior, showing that chimpanzees have individual personalities, use and make tools, and display complex social and emotional behaviors similar to humans. Beyond her scientific contributions, she was a tireless advocate for environmental conservation and animal welfare, inspiring generations worldwide. Her legacy continues through the institute she founded and the global conservation movement she propelled.

The plan also involves an international stabilization force and humanitarian aid to Gaza, with hopes to rebuild trust after nearly two years of brutal conflict.
