NEW DELHI, 05 August 2025: FICCI today organized ‘PubliCon 2025’, the annual flagship conference on publishing with the theme- ‘Role of Publishers in Research & Innovation’.

As part of PubliCon 2025, the FICCI Publishing Awards 2025 were presented to outstanding contributions across the Indian publishing landscape. The awards spanned a wide range of categories, including Children’s Books (in English and Hindi, for readers below and above 10 years), Fiction and Non-Fiction (in both English and Hindi), and Business Books (covering Self-Help, Economics, Management, and Biography). Additional categories recognised excellence in Translation, Comic/Graphic Novels, and Design and Production, such as Best Cover Design, Best Overall Design, and Best Printed Book.

Addressing the gathering, Dr Ranjana Aggarwal, Outstanding Scientist, CSIR, Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt of India emphasized the importance of inclusive publishing—with a particular focus on Indian languages—and the integration of indigenous knowledge systems into mainstream academic and research discourse. She urged publishers to address critical challenges such as accessibility, affordability, and international visibility to foster greater knowledge equity.

Mr Neeraj Jain, Chair of the FICCI Publishing Committee and Managing Director, Scholastic India, set the tone for the day by calling for a more expansive and forward-looking view of publishing. He emphasized that publishing today goes beyond books — it plays a pivotal role in building a robust knowledge ecosystem that supports research, innovation, and national growth. Citing the effective collaboration during the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP), Mr Jain urged publishers to act not just as content providers but as equal stakeholders in India’s development story.

Ms Shilpy Kochhar, Head – Business Development & Communications at BIRAC, emphasised the need for stronger science communication to bridge the gap between innovation and society. Highlighting BIRAC’s support for over 12,000 biotech start-ups, she called on publishers to simplify complex research, promote multilingual content, and focus on real-world impact beyond academic metrics. She urged greater collaboration between publishers and innovation agencies to make science accessible, inclusive, and engaging for wider audiences.

Speaking during the panel discussion on ‘Challenges and Opportunities for STM Publishers’ at PubliCon 2025, Ms. Qudsia Ahmed, Head of Academic Publishing at Cambridge University Press, highlighted the need for publishers to bridge gaps in accessibility, affordability, and discoverability, particularly in the Global South.

Dr. Sugata Ghosh, Deputy Managing Director, SAGE South Asia, emphasised the need for stronger institutional and policy-level support to strengthen open access publishing in the region. He identified diamond open access—where neither authors nor readers pay—as the most viable and sustainable model for India, calling for collaborative efforts among stakeholders to make knowledge freely accessible.

Mr. Venkatesh Sarvasiddhi, MD of Springer Nature India, underscored the urgent need for a national open access policy to combat predatory publishing and enable a phased transition to OA. Highlighting limited research funding and lack of grant support for publishing, he advocated for regional pricing and a shift in library roles. He welcomed initiatives like One Nation One Subscription and noted that an OA policy is expected soon.

Mr. Madhvendra Narayan from the Indian National Science Academy noted that while technology has streamlined workflows and expanded global access through platforms like Springer, the fundamentals of publishing remain the same. He also pointed out the absence of clear national policy on emerging manuscript practices in India.

The event brought together key stakeholders from publishing, academia, research, and policy to discuss the evolving role of the publishing industry in strengthening India’s knowledge economy.

Bone cancer is uncommon but serious. It can affect people at almost any age, including children and young adults. Considered as rare and its symptoms resemble those of common bone or joint problems, it often goes undiagnosed until it has progressed. In many cases, the early warning signs are subtle—mistaken for sports injuries, growing pains, or arthritis. These early clues are easy to miss, therefore a closer is very important.

An Excruciating Pain 

Pain is one of the earliest and most common signs of bone cancer. It usually doesn’t arise suddenly or severely, but often starts as a dull ache that lingers—sometimes for weeks or months. Unlike pain from an injury, this kind of discomfort may not have a clear cause and do not respond well to rest or pain relievers. It may feel worse at night or during activity, and does not improve the way you would expect a routine sprain or strain. When the bone pain does not ease up or continues to grow worse over time, it’s worth a closer look.

No Swelling or Lump Before

As the tumour grows, the area around it may swell. This swelling may appear gradually and often isn’t painful at first. Some people notice a firm lump near a bone—often near joints like the knee or shoulder. It might be written off as a pulled muscle or inflammation from overuse. But when the swelling does not go down, or the lump gets larger over time, it should not be ignored.

Subtle Changes in Movement

A tumour near a joint can reduce flexibility or make everyday movement feel stiff or strained. In children, this might show up as limping or avoiding certain activities. In adults, there might be reduced range of motion or unexplained discomfort while walking or climbing stairs. These changes may be gradual and easily dismissed, especially if there’s no obvious injury to explain them.

Fractures That Don’t Seem to Fit

Sometimes, the first sign of bone cancer is a fracture that occurs with very little force. A bone weakened by a tumour can break more easily—even during a minor fall or routine movement. These are called “pathological fractures.” If a person with no known bone condition sustains a fracture after minimal trauma, it should raise concern and prompt further evaluation.

Noticing What’s Easy to Miss

Many early signs of bone cancer are nonspecific, and that’s what makes diagnosis difficult. Symptoms like fatigue, low-grade fever, or weight loss may appear later and are not unique to bone tumours. But when they show up alongside persistent bone pain or swelling, they should not be brushed aside.

It’s also important to consider age and risk factors. Children and teens are more likely to develop certain primary bone cancers like osteosarcoma. In older adults, bone tumours are more likely to be secondary—spread from cancers of the breast, prostate, or lungs. In both cases, delays in diagnosis can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

When to Investigate Further

Act immediately when the symptoms do not follow the usual pattern. Bone pain that lasts more than two to three weeks, a lump that gets bigger, or movement that becomes increasingly limited—these are signs that deserve medical attention. The same is true for unexplained fractures or swelling that does not resolve.

Imaging studies like X-rays, MRI, or CT scans can help identify suspicious lesions. But confirmation comes only with a biopsy, and this should be done by a specialist trained in orthopaedic oncology.

Bone cancer is rare, but the risks of missing early are real. When early signs are passed off as routine pain or strain, the chance to catch it in time may slip away. The sooner it’s found, the better—not just for treating the disease but for holding on to strength, movement, and peace of mind.

New Delhi, 5th August 2025: Tradelink International  announced its strategic entry into the global sulphur market, marking a significant expansion of its commodity trading portfolio. The move comes in response to rising global demand, particularly from India, where sulphur consumption is witnessing steady growth driven by the fertilizer, refining, rubber, and petrochemical industries.

India’s sulphur market stood at approximately USD 1.24 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5% in the coming years. A key driver of this growth is the increase in domestic refining output. With the implementation of Euro-VI fuel norms and higher crude processing levels, India’s sulphur production has almost doubled over the past decade, reaching nearly 3.9 million tonnes per annum in 2024.

“India represents a dynamic and fast-evolving market for sulphur, and our entry reflects our intent to support its growing industrial and agricultural needs,” said Abhishek Wadekar, Founder Chairman – Tradelink International Pvt. Ltd. “Our entry into the sulphur segment is a natural extension of our commitment to serve the essential sectors that drive national development agriculture, energy, and infrastructure.”

The fertilizer sector alone continues to be a major consumer, especially for sulphuric acid used in phosphate-based fertilizers. New projects like Coromandel’s Visakhapatnam and IFFCO’s Paradip sulphur burners are expected to add around 400,000 tonnes of annual demand. Additionally, the rubber and EV battery manufacturing sectors are contributing to sulphur’s increasing industrial use.

Tradelink International has already secured a shipment of 30,000 metric tonnes ±10% of elemental sulphur, set to be discharged at Vizag and Haldia ports, positioning the company to serve key industrial hubs across eastern and southern India. The company is sourcing primarily from the Middle East including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar balancing reliability with strategic import diversification.

Amid recent geopolitical tensions such as the Israel–Iran conflict, Tradelink remains committed to securing stable and cost-effective logistics. “While such disruptions have not directly affected production, they underscore the importance of resilient supply chains and diversified sourcing, which Tradelink has proactively built,” the spokesperson added.

In FY25, over 64% of India’s sulphur imports came through Vizag and Paradip ports, with prices fluctuating between USD 285–295/MT CFR as observed on July 3rd. Tradelink aims to leverage its global network to ensure timely availability and competitive pricing for Indian industries.

With supportive government initiatives including the Nutrient-Based Subsidy Scheme, the introduction of Urea Gold, and amendments to the Fertilizer Control Order sulphur is increasingly seen as a critical enabler of balanced and sustainable agriculture. Tradelink International’s entry into this segment aligns with both market needs and broader policy direction.
