Asking scientists to think “big” and “out of the box”, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said “the time has come to produce Ramans and Ramanujams” and cross new horizons.

Cold sting till Friday: Met

New Delhi, January 3
A not-so-usual phenomenon seems to be occurring this winter season over plains of northwest India, comprising Chandigarh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan and west Uttar Pradesh.
