Inflation has hit its highest point since 2023, rising from 3.7 per cent to 4.6 per cent in March. New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released on 29 April 2026, shows the Consumer Price Index (CPI) climbed 0.9 per cent, mostly driven by higher fuel prices linked to ongoing conflict in the Middle East. In this podcast, SBS Hindi speaks with economist Devika Shivadekar about what this means for consumers and which key signals they should be watching to get a sense of where inflation is heading next.

In a small town of Madhya Pradesh, the Ajnar River was once heavily polluted. But today it is gradually becoming clean again. This change is the result of the hard work of a 20-year-old man, Bittu. Initially, he urged local residents to join in cleaning the river and even considered that a machine could make the task easier. However, neither idea succeeded. So he single-handedly started on his mission. Even after suffering infections in his hands and feet during the cleaning process, Bittu has continued his mission. - मध्य प्रदेश के एक छोटे से शहर में स्थित अजनार नदी कभी अत्यधिक प्रदूषित हुआ करती थी, लेकिन आज इसका पानी साफ नजर आने लगा है। इस बदलाव के पीछे 20 वर्षीय युवक बिट्टू की मेहनत है, जो अब एक प्रेरणा बन चुके हैं। शुरुआत में बिट्टू ने लोगों से नदी साफ करने की अपील की और यह भी सोचा कि कोई मशीन होती तो काम आसान हो जाता, लेकिन दोनों ही प्रयास सफल नहीं हुए। इसके बावजूद उन्होंने हार नहीं मानी और दूसरों की बातों को नजरअंदाज करते हुए खुद ही सफाई में जुट गए।कुछ ही महीनों में उनके प्रयासों का असर दिखने लगा और उन्होंने अकेले ही नदी के कई घाट साफ कर दिए। इस दौरान उन्हें हाथ-पैरों में संक्रमण भी हुआ, फिर भी वे लगातार इस काम में लगे हुए हैं।

In an always-online world, where notifications never really stop, many young people are beginning to rethink their relationship with their phones. For Gen Z, it’s not necessarily about disconnecting completely but about creating balance. From reading and painting to music, sports, journaling, and even analogue interests like film cameras or CDs, these activities are giving people real world engagement. In this segment, we explore how hobbies are quietly becoming a powerful tool for digital detox, helping young people limit phone use while reconnecting with focus, creativity, and offline life.

From everyday gestures between strangers to deeply rooted traditions of giving, the ripple effect of kindness is already part of community life. In many faiths, this spirit has long been lived out through practices such as Sikh Dasvandh, Hindu daan punya, and Muslim zakat and Christian tithing, each reflecting a shared commitment to supporting those in need. On Pay It Forward Day, we explores how these different paths of generosity connect through a common thread: the idea that giving doesn’t end with one act but continues, grows, and strengthens the communities we live in today.

The Victorian Budget 2026-27 will deliver a 20 per cent rebate on light vehicle registration. Currently, registration for a light vehicle costs up to $930.70 per year. With the discount, a single-car owner could save up to $186, while families with two cars could receive up to $372. The state government says the measure is aimed at putting money back into the pockets of Victorians, as fuel costs continue to rise. Applications will open on 1 June and remain open until 31 July, giving eligible residents two months to claim the rebate. It will be available to Victorians who own light vehicles for personal use, including cars, utes, and vehicles weighing under 4.5 tonnes.
