Earthquake of magnitude 6.1 jolts Nepal, tremors felt in North Bengal, Sikkim and Bihar
An earthquake of magnitude 6.1 jolted Nepal early on Friday, with tremors felt in several parts of India, including West Bengal, Sikkim and Bihar. The earthquake occurred around 2.36 am Nepal’s Kathmandu valley early Friday morning, with its epicentre in Sindhupalchowk district.
The impact of Friday’s earthquake was still being assessed, with no reports of damage or casualties. Social media posts showed buildings and ceiling fans shaking in Patna, Sikkim, and Darjeeling.
Severity of Nepal Earthquake
According to Nepal’s National Earthquake Monitoring and Research Centre, the earthquake had a magnitude of 6.1. However, the German Research Center for Geosciences reported the earthquake’s magnitude as 5.6, with a depth of 10 km (6.21 miles), while India’s National Centre for Seismology and the US Geological Survey both recorded it at 5.5.
“There have been no reports of deaths or injuries due to the earthquake of morning. In the epicentre as well, there are no reports of major damages to infrastructures,” Nepal Police DIG Dinesh Kumar Acharya told ANI.
An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 on the Richter Scale hit Nepal at 2.36 IST today.

What makes Nepal prone to Earthquakes?
Nepal lies in one of the most active tectonic zones (Seismic zones IV and V), making the country extremely vulnerable to earthquakes. This tectonic movement not only lifts the Himalayan Mountains but also generates immense stress beneath the Earth’s surface. When this stress surpasses the strength of the rocks, it is released as an earthquake, which explains the frequent seismic activity in Nepal and the surrounding Himalayan region.
Nepal’s geology, which mostly consists of young and unstable rock formations, increases the impact of earthquakes. Apart from this, high population density in urban areas like capital city Kathmandu along with unregulated construction practices considerably increases the risk of casualties and damage.
Back to Back Earthquakes Shook Kolkata, Odisha, Delhi, Mandi and Bihar
An earthquake of magnitude 5.1 hit the Bay of Bengal early on Tuesday near Odisha’s Puri, with tremors felt in Kolkata and several parts of West Bengal along with neighbouring country Bangladesh. However, no loss of life or damage to property was reported.
The earthquake occurred at 6:10 am as informed by the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). The earthquake tremors caused momentary panic among the residents of Kolkata, even though major damage or casualties were not reported. Prior to this, earthquake recently shook Delhi, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi and Ghaziabad.
CSR News: India’s Top Business Families Contribute To 65-70% of Private Sector CSR Spending Annually
India’s top four business families have contributed to 20 per cent of the total Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending done by family-owned or family-run companies in financial year 2023-24 (FY24).
The Tata, Ambani, Adani, and the Birla groups of companies have contributed between Rs 200-1,500 crore for CSR, according to the latest India Philanthropy Report 2025 released by Bain & Company in collaboration with Dasra.
“Family-owned/run firms have been critical to India’s growth story, championing corporate responsibility long before the 2014 mandate requiring CSR contributions. Family-owned/run businesses contribute 65%–70% of private-sector CSR spending annually, totaling approximately INR 18,000 crore, with the top 2% of family-owned/run firms contributing 50%–55% of the total family-owned/run businesses’ CSR contribution, highlighting the outsized role of a few key players,” mentions the report.
India’s Social Sector Funding Has Grown Steadily
The report further highlights that India’s social sector spending is projected to increase to approximately Rs 45 lakh crore (9.6% of GDP) by FY 2029, with public funding continuing to account for about 95% of this. The spending is rapidly growing in the healthcare segment, while education spending is expected to grow at a moderate pace.
India’s social sector funding has grown at a steady rate of 13% over the past five years and is estimated to have reached Rs 25 lakh crore (8.3% of GDP) in FY 2024. Primarily driven by public spending, accounting for 95% of total funding, it is projected to increase to Rs 45 lakh crore (9.6% of GDP) by FY 2029. Despite robust funding growth, the sector is Rs 14 lakh crore short of estimates by NITI Aayog. The gap is projected to increase to Rs 16 lakh crore by FY 2029.
Growth in Public and Private Spending
Public spending has also grown 13% annually over the past five years, reaching Rs 23 lakh crore (7.9% of GDP) in FY 2024. By FY 2029, it is projected to increase to Rs 43 lakh crore (9.1% of GDP), driven by higher growth in healthcare and moderate growth in education spending.
The report further highlights that private spending grew more moderately, with a 7% increase from FY 2023 to FY 2024, reaching Rs 131,000 crore. However, private spending is expected to accelerate to 10%–12% growth over the next five years, largely driven by family philanthropy from ultra-high-net-worth individuals, high-net-worth individuals, and affluent individuals.
Family Philanthropy Contributing to India’s Socio-Economic Development
Family giving accounts for approximately 40% of private philanthropy, with families contributing to India’s economic and social development through personal giving and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives from family-owned/run businesses, says the report. It highlights that families are reshaping the philanthropic landscape by:
Investing in underfunded and niche causes, with 40% of families supporting gender, equity, diversity, and inclusion (GEDI), 29% supporting climate action, and 39% of families aspiring to support ecosystem strengthening in the future
Strengthening philanthropy infrastructure by investing in collaboratives and building narratives, sectoral capacity, and institutions
Inclusive, diverse, and forward-looking giving approaches, with 55% of families having women-led philanthropy and 33% of families having Inter-generational and Now-generational givers anchoring philanthropy efforts
Professionalising their giving, with approximately 65% of families having dedicated staff to manage their philanthropy portfolios; additionally, 41% of families prefer grant-making as their primary approach, while 23% integrate both grant-making and direct program implementation
Role of Family Philanthropists in Making India a Global Leader
“India is emerging as a global leader in developing scalable, cost-effective solutions to address social challenges. Family philanthropists—with their patient capital and long-term vision—are uniquely positioned to drive global impact by supporting frugal innovation by India’s dynamic nonprofits. This can position India as a global force for social innovation advancing the country’s vision for a Viksit Bharat by 2047,” the report mentions.
CSR News: Ambuja Cements supports farmers in West Bengal’s Farakka with innovative irrigation and high-value crop cultivation
Murshidabad, West Bengal: Ambuja Cements, the cement and building material company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, is transforming the agricultural landscape in Farakka, Murshidabad district through innovative CSR initiatives. By addressing irrigation challenges and introducing high-value crops such as strawberry, the company has empowered local farmers to improve productivity and achieve sustainable growth.
To help tackle water scarcity, Ambuja Cements’ CSR arm introduced the River Lift Irrigation (RLI) system, enabling farmers to draw water from nearby rivers. This initiative has allowed farmers to grow multiple crops throughout the year, reducing their dependency on erratic monsoon rains. The availability of consistent water supply has opened avenues for cultivating high-value crops, boosting the region’s agricultural output.
Farmers have been trained to cultivate Winter Dawn strawberries, a high-value crop with immense market potential. With support from Ambuja Cements, farmers like Tetra Roy, who previously grew paddy and potatoes, earned Rs. 42,000 from just 0.03 acres of strawberries, tripling his income in a year. Women farmers, such as Srimati Mandal, have also achieved significant income growth and are now planning future investments. Today, over 40 farmers in Farakka are part of this initiative, earning up to Rs. 1.5 lakh from just 0.33 acres of land.
Ambuja Cements continues to support these farmers with training, sapling production, and plans to establish local nurseries to reduce costs and wastage. By empowering the farming community in Farakka, the company reaffirms its commitment to driving agricultural innovation and creating sustainable livelihoods.

CSR News: Amazon announces US$1.2 million to preserve Mumbai’s flamingo habitat, restoring mangrove forests, removing plastic waste and supporting local communities
Mumbai, India: Amazon today announced a US$1.2 million investment to restore the mangrove forests and mudflats that are critical foraging for Mumbai’s iconic flamingo population. Working with Hasten Regeneration, a social enterprise and developer of ecosystem restoration projects, the investment will fund the clean-up along the settlements on the Thane Creek in Mumbai and plant mangroves in the nearby state of Gujarat. Amazon is supporting the initiative through its $100 million Right Now Climate Fund, which promotes climate resilience, biodiversity, and nature conservation projects in communities where it operates.
The project will tackle plastic pollution by installing a trash boom that blocks plastic waste from entering the Mumbai basin, where more than 1 million migratory birds – among them flamingos and over 180 other species – stop to feed each season.
The goal is to remove at least 150 tons of plastic waste and replant the flamingo feeding grounds, including the stopover sites on the way to the nesting areas in neighbouring Gujarat province. The project also aims to improve the quality of life for the slum settlement on the bank of the Thane Creek, who will benefit from a cleaner environment.
Mangroves can sequester and store up to 10 times more carbon per hectare than mature tropical forests, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The mangrove planting work will also generate employment and opportunities for the rural community in Gujarat, especially female-led planting companies.
“The preservation of Mumbai’s flamingo habitat is paramount, not only for the biodiversity it sustains, but also for the communities whose livelihoods depend on it,” said Abhinav Singh, Vice President of Operations, Amazon India. “By joining forces with Hasten Regeneration on this landmark project, we aim to safeguard Mumbai’s flamingo habitat for future generations.”
“This collaborative effort between Amazon and Hasten Regeneration is a game changer for the Mumbai basin. The project cleans up the polluted banks of the Thane Creek, which is one of the most polluted waterways in the world. We are also creating a positive social impact, employing women to replant mangroves in critical stop-over sites for the precious flamingos on the way to their nesting grounds,” said Sheeba Sen, co-founder of Hasten Regeneration’s India branch and Director of Alaap.
“This initiative, aligned with the government’s goals under the Mangrove Initiative for Shoreline Habitats and Tangible Incomes, will significantly contribute to protecting the habitat of flamingos and other migratory birds by planting 375,000 mangrove shrubs and trees. And with that, it will, over time, build climate resilience for local communities by protecting against storm surges, rising sea levels, and erosion, while also creating multiple sustainable livelihood opportunities” said Shri Mukeshbhai Zinabhai Patel, Minister of Forest and Environment, Climate Change, Water Resources and Water Supply, State of Gujarat.
In 2023, Amazon announced a US$15 million investment from the Right Now Climate Fund to support nature-based projects in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Amazon has launched three projects in India including this one, supporting the Centre for Wildlife Studies to plant 300,000 trees in the Western Ghats on the border of tiger and elephant habitat; and working with ICLEI South Asia to launch a network of 75 school gardens to support urban biodiversity and combat child malnutrition, with the aim of providing 15 million meals for children in India’s municipal schools.
