Indian Air Force An-32 aircraft crashes in Assam, five personnel killed

An Indian Air Force (IAF) An-32 transport aircraft crashed near Jorhat in Assam during a routine training sortie, killing five personnel on board. The IAF confirmed the identities of the deceased, including Squadron Leader Prashant Singh and Flight Lieutenant Shubham Kumar, among others. One co‑pilot reportedly survived the crash and is undergoing treatment, though the IAF has not yet released full medical details. The aircraft had taken off from Jorhat airbase before losing contact with ground controllers and going down in a rural area. Local administration and IAF rescue teams rushed to the site to retrieve bodies and secure the wreckage. A Court of Inquiry has been ordered to determine the exact cause of the accident, including any technical or human factors. Defence Minister and senior IAF leadership expressed condolences and termed the deaths a “supreme sacrifice” in the line of duty.

Madhya Pradesh launches rental assistance scheme for Scheduled Caste students studying away from home

Madhya Pradesh has operationalised the “Scheduled Caste Boys/Girls Housing Assistance Scheme” to provide rental support to Scheduled Caste (SC) students studying outside their hometowns. Under the scheme, eligible students can receive up to ₹2,000 per month as a housing rent stipend. Beneficiaries must be domiciled in Madhya Pradesh, belong to the SC community, and fall within prescribed income limits. Applications are submitted online through the MPTAAS portal, and funds are disbursed directly to beneficiaries via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The scheme is limited to MP residents living in rented accommodation for educational purposes and does not cover hostel or owned housing. State authorities say the initiative aims to reduce drop‑out rates and financial stress among SC students pursuing higher education. The scheme complements existing scholarship and fee reimbursement programs targeted at Scheduled Castes.
