In the first nine months of 2024, the real estate sector in India raised Rs 12,801 crore through Qualified Institutional Placements (QIPs), making it the second-highest sector after renewable energy. This surge reflects the sector's significant role in capital markets and growing investor confidence. Factors such as robust housing sales growth, post-pandemic recovery, and increased transparency have driven this trend. Developers are also leveraging Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) to fund new projects, with several firms raising substantial amounts since 2021. The strong sales and capital inflow are expected to continue, further boosting investor sentiment.

The study investigates the linear and nonlinear dynamics of nonaxisymmetric magnetorotational instability (MRI) in a magnetized Taylor-Couette flow of liquid sodium, as part of the DRESDYN project. It demonstrates that the highest achievable Lundquist and magnetic Reynolds numbers in the experiment are sufficient for the linear instability of nonaxisymmetric modes, although these numbers are typically higher than those for the axisymmetric mode. The research also analyzes the structure and scaling properties of the ensuing nonlinear saturated state, revealing that nonaxisymmetric MRI modes decay for lower Reynolds numbers but grow and saturate for higher Reynolds numbers, forming a turbulent boundary layer near the inner cylinder wall. The saturation amplitude of these nonaxisymmetric modes is significantly smaller than that of the axisymmetric MRI mode.

Sunderlal Patwa of the BJP campaigned vigorously in Chhindwara, targeting the issue of women's insult following Alka Nath's resignation, which was instructed by Kamal Nath.
