Renowned folk artist Bhagwandas Raikwar, who dedicated his life to preserving Bundeli folk art and traditional martial practices, has been selected for the Padma Shri Award 2026. He has been honoured under the ‘Unsung Heroes’ category, recognising individuals who have served society and culture selflessly without seeking publicity.

A lifelong custodian of Bundelkhand’s rich cultural heritage, Raikwar is being honoured for his outstanding contribution to the conservation, promotion and transmission of Bundeli folk traditions and indigenous martial arts. The Government of India acknowledged his decades-long grassroots work that kept several fading art forms alive.
Born on January 2, 1944, in Sagar to late Gorelal Raikwar, Bhagwandas Raikwar embodies the spirit of Bundelkhand, where folk life, valour and cultural discipline coexist. Through the akhara tradition, he preserved and taught traditional combat skills such as lathi, spear, sword, shield, trident, farsa, along with folk dance, music, weaponry and even kabaddi, ensuring their continuity among younger generations.
Despite limited resources, he developed Shri Chhatrasal Vyayamshala into a hub of cultural and physical training, instilling discipline, history and values alongside physical fitness. He has represented Bundeli culture at major national and international platforms, including the Mahakumbh, folk festivals, national theatre events and cultural fairs, introducing audiences to Bundelkhand’s heroic legacy. His efforts also helped revive several endangered folk traditions and provided recognition to local artists.
Raikwar’s life stands out for treating art as spiritual practice rather than livelihood. Avoiding fame and accolades, he remained focused on service—making his selection in the ‘Unsung Heroes’ category especially significant.
Following the announcement of the Padma Shri 2026, a wave of joy and pride has swept across Bundelkhand and the state. Cultural scholars, artists and citizens have termed it a historic honour for Bundeli culture, calling it both a recognition of Bhagwandas Raikwar’s lifelong dedication and an inspiration for countless folk artists preserving tradition at the grassroots.

Sagar Watch News, January 21, 2026/ 
Amid reports of yellowing leaves and spot formation in wheat fields, the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Sagar, has issued an advisory to farmers, attributing the problem to deficiencies of secondary and micronutrients.

According to KVK scientists, the symptoms—being widely observed across Sagar district and reported from other districts as well—are primarily caused by a lack of secondary nutrients such as sulphur and magnesium, and micronutrients including zinc, iron and manganese. Farmers have been advised to address the issue through timely foliar application of appropriate chemical fertilizers.

The advisory recommends using 150 litres of water per acre for spraying, preferably during morning or evening hours. If symptoms persist, a repeat spray after 10 days is advised. Farmers are also urged to closely observe crop symptoms to identify specific nutrient deficiencies.

In cases of severe or unclear symptoms, KVK, Sagar, has advised farmers to seek expert guidance from its scientists without delay.

Sagar Watch News, January 20, 2026/
 Amid a steady rise in tiger numbers, Madhya Pradesh’s largest protected forest area—the Nauradehi Tiger Reserve—has welcomed a new male tiger, marking an important step in strengthening the reserve’s long-term conservation strategy. 

The three-year-old tiger, relocated from Kanha Tiger Reserve, was released late Sunday night into the Mohli Range under the supervision of the reserve management.

Key focus: genetic diversity and future population health

Forest experts say the introduction of the new tiger is expected to bring positive genetic variation among the existing tiger population in Nauradehi. 

The change in gene pool will help reduce the risk of inbreeding and support healthier future generations—an essential requirement for sustainable wildlife conservation.

Strategic release location after village relocation

The tiger has been released in the Mohli Range, an area that recently became vacant following the relocation of six villages as part of the rehabilitation process. 

This has created a large, undisturbed habitat suitable for wildlife. Authorities stated that the location was carefully selected to avoid immediate territorial conflict with existing tigers. 

Over time, the tiger is expected to establish its own territory and adapt naturally to the forest environment.

From orphaned cub to independent hunter

The journey of the new tiger has been marked by survival and rehabilitation. In April 2023, at just four months old, the cub was separated from its mother in Pench Tiger Reserve

It was later relocated to Kanha, where it underwent nearly two and a half years of systematic training in a controlled enclosure, learning hunting skills and navigating the forest. 

Gradually, the tiger expanded its range and successfully hunted on its own, proving its readiness for release into the wild.

Official clearance and conservation expectations

Following an assessment of its age, health, and hunting ability, the Forest Department granted permission for its relocation to Nauradehi. 

Officials stated that the arrival of the new tiger is expected to positively influence the existing population and contribute to a more resilient tiger lineage in the reserve.

The development is seen as a significant milestone in Madhya Pradesh’s ongoing tiger conservation efforts, reinforcing the state’s position as a leading habitat for big cats in India.
