NEW DELHI, May 5: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is yet to receive the name of a second team from Kerala after the apex body rejected the nomination of newly-formed KBL FC Kochin. In the event, the AIFF has released the fixture for the zonal qualification round of the Kalyani Black label Federation Cup football tournament, without mentioning the name of a second team from the state.

The zonal qualifiers will be held in four zones from May 11 to May 22, according to an AIFF release today.

Calcutta, Goa, Mumbai and Kochi are the major centres on the list while smaller venues like Chandigarh and Dibphu (Assam) have got a chunk of the matches.

As nutrition is the central concern of regenerative agriculture, India must prioritise nutritional security by enhancing domestic production of pulses and oilseeds—crops that require fewer inputs and naturally fix nitrogen in the soil. To address this, the government has launched the Rs 11,440 crore ‘Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses’ (2025–26 to 2030–31) — it aims to scale up domestic pulse production to 350 lakh tonnes.
