The New Pamban Bridge was inaugurated on 6 April 2025 in Tamil Nadu. It is India's first vertical-lift railway sea bridge and connects Rameswaram Island with the mainland across the Palk Strait. The bridge is about 2.07 kilometres long. Its 72.5-metre navigational span can rise by 17 metres, permitting ships to pass. Rail Vikas Nigam Limited constructed the bridge. The new structure replaces the ageing bridge opened in 1914, which used a rolling lift mechanism. The marine setting required protection against corrosion, wind, tides, and other demanding conditions. The project combines rail connectivity with maritime passage. Its design must therefore accommodate both trains crossing the strait and vessels moving through it.

The seventh Khelo India Youth Games were held from 4 to 15 May 2025, primarily in Bihar. Events were staged in Patna, Rajgir, Gaya, Bhagalpur, and Begusarai, with some competition in New Delhi. The Games featured 27 medal sports. Sepaktakraw was included as a medal sport for the first time, while esports appeared as a demonstration event. The Khelo India programme was launched in 2017. Its broad objectives include encouraging mass participation, identifying talent, improving sporting pathways, and promoting excellence. A demonstration event allows organisers and audiences to assess a sport without treating its results as part of the regular medal programme. Inclusion can still increase visibility and inform future decisions.
