India to manufacture 500 items by 2025, by 3D printing.  ~Preet.   The National Strategy for Additive Manufacturing Policy was recently released by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).  Within three years, the strategy intends to boost India's share of global additive manufacturing to 5% and add USD 1 billion to the country's GDP. It also plans to build 50 India-specific material, machine, and software innovations, 100 new additive manufacturing firms, 500 new products, and educate at least 1 lakh new skilled people. The ideas of 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan', which urge self-reliance via technological transformation of the production paradigm, are included into the Policy. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process that employs materials such as plastics and metals to turn computer-aided design goods into genuine three-dimensional things.  3D printing is the inverse of subtractive manufacturing,

Humanitarian Crisis in Afghanistan and its impact on the globe. ~Preet The World Bank has authorised a plan to utilise USD 1 billion from a frozen Afghanistan trust fund for education, agriculture, health, and family programmes in order to alleviate the country's deteriorating humanitarian and economic difficulties.  The goal is to protect the vulnerable, aid in the preservation of human capital and critical economic and social institutions, and to limit the need for future humanitarian assistance.

Afghanistan has been chaotic and unsafe for decades, but the Taliban's takeover of power in August 2021 has left the whole area on the verge of collapse.  Afghanistan's current position is unsettlingly similar to the geopolitical landscape of the late 1990s.  The Taliban took control in 1996, but
