The Swadhar Greh scheme was last updated in 2001 to provide safe shelter to women deserted without social or economic support – usually survivors of domestic violence and/or other forms of exploitation. The scheme allows for up to Rs 12,86,000 in remuneration of recurring expenses (rent, food, recreational activities) every year for every 30 residents that a shelter houses. It isn’t hard to see how manipulating the system could wield considerable profits. The system does not bode well for senior citizens in UP either, another vulnerable populace of the state.

No rain in Delhi after cloud seeding trials. Why did the experiment flop?
Delhi conducted cloud seeding experiments to induce artificial rain and reduce pollution but saw no rain due to low moisture in clouds. Despite no rain, the cloud seeding trials led to a slight improvement in air quality, with PM2.5 and PM10 levels dropping in targeted areas. More cloud seeding experiments are planned, depending on atmospheric conditions, to further address Delhi's pollution issues.
