Durand Cup, the world's third oldest and Asia's oldest football tournament
The prestigious tournament was first held in 1888, at Dagshai (Himachal Pradesh) and is named after Mortimer Durand, who was then the Foreign Secretary in charge of India.
The tournament was a conscious way to initially maintain health and fitness amongst the British troops but was later opened to civilians and currently is one of the leading sports event in the world.
Mohun Bagan and East Bengal are the most successful teams in the history of the Durand Cup winning it sixteen times each. 
The winning team is presented with three trophies ie the President's Cup (first presented by Dr Rajendra Prasad), the Durand Cup (the original challenge prize - a rolling trophy) and the Shimla Trophy (first presented by citizens of Shimla in 1903 and since 1965, a rolling trophy). 
The Tournament was shifted from Delhi to Kolkata in 2019, which was won by Gokulam Kerala by beating Mohun Bagan 2-1 in the finals.
The West Bengal capital will again host the four week long tournament, scheduled between 05 September to 03 October 2021, with matches being played at various venues in and around Kolkata.
Sixteen participating teams from across the country, including four teams from the Services, are set to bring out the competitive and true sportsman spirit to win the coveted trophies.

2021-08-17 14:02:51 Big boost to exports from non-traditional regions, Mohua flower from Chhattisgarh & Himalayan Goat meat from Uttarakhand exported to France & United Arab Emirates

Mahuwa (Madhuca indica) is a prominent forest tree in tribal areas of Bastar, Chhattisgarh and plays an important role in the rural economy. 
The mahuwa flowers are a rich source of sugars and are said to contain vitamins, minerals and calcium. 
The flowers are fermented and distilled yielding spirituous liquor also known as ‘country beer’
The beverage – Called Mahua Nutribeverage – has a high nutritional value and relatively low alcohol content (5 %) 
It has been developed by IIT-Delhi after two years of research in collaboration with TRIFED (Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation of India).
For the first time, a consignment of dehydrated Mohua flower was exported via sea to France from Chhattisgarh
