  85. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Gujarat Govt Replaces Open Lines with MVCC for Safer Power</h2>
  86. <p>To reduce frequent power outages and improve safety, the Gujarat government has replaced open agricultural power lines with **MVCC (Medium Voltage Covered Conductor)** cables. In Surat district alone, **422 km** of open lines have been converted over the past two years.</p>
  87. <h2>Cost, Coverage &amp; District-Wise Details</h2>
  88. <p>The project in Surat cost around **₹39.17 crore**. Other districts benefiting include Navsari (241 km, ₹22.47 crore), Panchmahal (91 km, ₹9.03 crore), Chhota Udepur (88 km, ₹8.70 crore), and Narmada (86 km, ₹8.19 crore).</p>
  89. <h2>Benefits: Fewer Outages, Greater Safety</h2>
  90. <p>According to Energy Minister Kanubhai Desai, regions using MVCC cables have seen a **70-80% reduction** in power interruptions. The new lines are safer for agricultural areas, since MVCC cables are insulated and less prone to damage from trees, birds, storms, or accidental contact.</p>
  91. <h2>Why MVCC Matters for Surat &amp; Beyond</h2>
  92. <ul>
  93. <li>By replacing bare conductors, MVCC reduces the risk of electrical accidents and short circuits.</li>
  94. <li>It helps in reducing power theft and improving reliability—even during adverse weather.</li>
  95. <li>Environmental as well as social benefits: less tree trimming/cutting, safer for wildlife.</li>
  96. </ul>
  97. <h3>Other Districts Also on Board</h3>
  98. <p>While Surat leads with 422 km replaced, the similar work in other districts shows the government’s statewide push to modernize power distribution infrastructure.</p>

  153. <p>Surat, known as the “diamond city,” has been ranked among the top three cities nationally in the <strong>Swachh Vayu Survekshan</strong> for the second year in a row. This honour makes Surat the only city from Gujarat to be recognised in this year’s national clean air survey.</p>
  154. <h2>Awards Presented by Union Minister</h2>
  155. <p>The award was presented in New Delhi at the Ganga Auditorium, Indira Gandhi Bhavan. Union Environment, Forests &amp; Climate Change Minister <strong>Bhupendra Yadav</strong> felicitated Surat’s representatives – Mayor Dakshesh Mawani and Municipal Commissioner Shalini Agarwal – in the presence of national dignitaries.</p>
  156. <h2>Significance for Gujarat and Clean Air Programme</h2>
  157. <p>Surat’s repeated ranking reflects continued progress under the <strong>National Clean Air Programme (NCAP)</strong>. It demonstrates the city’s efforts in pollution control, monitoring, clean air policies and civic participation.</p>
  158. <h2>Challenges Ahead &amp; What Makes Surat Stand Out</h2>
  159. <ul>
  160. <li>Surat has to maintain and improve measures like reducing vehicular emissions, industrial pollution, and dust control to keep its ranking.</li>
  161. <li>Civic engagement, real-time air quality monitoring and rapid response to air pollution alerts will be key.</li>
  162. <li>Being the only city from Gujarat in the top three sets a benchmark for others in the state to scale up clean-air initiatives.</li>

  186. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Smotrich Visits Gujarat, Seeks Deeper Financial Partnerships</h2>
  187. <p>Israel’s Finance Minister <strong>Bezalel Smotrich</strong> paid a visit to Gujarat on September 10, 2025, where he met Chief Minister <strong>Bhupendra Patel</strong> in Gandhinagar. A key focus of the meeting was exploring collaboration opportunities in <strong>GIFT City</strong>, India’s burgeoning international financial and tech hub.</p>
  188. <h2>Potential Areas of Cooperation Discussed</h2>
  189. <ul>
  190. <li>Smotrich expressed interest in having Israeli financial institutions participate in international finance centres such as GIFT City.</li>
  191. <li>Regulators and leadership from GIFT City, including the IFSCA (International Financial Services Centres Authority) and GIFT City’s CEO, held discussions with the visiting delegation.</li>
  192. <li>Talks also covered fintech, sustainable finance, banking and capital markets, asset management, and innovation.</li>
  193. <li>Gujarat suggested forming a joint team of officials from both sides to further explore investment opportunities and set frameworks for cooperation.</li>
  194. </ul>
  195. <h2>Shared Values &amp; Wider Bilateral Engagement</h2>
  196. <p>Beyond financial cooperation, both sides underlined shared heritage, tradition, and cultural bonds. Smotrich also appreciated India’s support during difficult times and expressed interest in understanding India’s payment systems, such as UPI.</p>
  197. <p>The meeting is part of Smotrich’s broader tour of India, marking efforts to strengthen Israel-India ties through subnational cooperation and business-to-business relations.</p>
  198. <h2>Implications for GIFT City and Gujarat</h2>
  199. <p>If Israeli firms become active in GIFT City, it could further enhance Gujarat’s position as a global financial hub. Progressive regulations, superior infrastructure, and a growing interest in fintech and sustainable finance make GIFT City attractive for international players.</p>
  200. <p>Gujarat may benefit from technological transfer, increased investment, and stronger diplomatic ties. The joint team proposed would help concretize opportunities and map out areas for joint projects.</p>

  223. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Massive Voter Turnout in Amul Dairy Board Election</h2>
  224. <p>The Kaira District Milk Producers’ Cooperative Union Ltd., popularly known as <strong>Amul Dairy</strong>, held its board election on September 10, 2025. The cooperative witnessed a remarkable <strong>97.48% voter turnout</strong>, making it one of the most actively participated elections in recent times.</p>
  225. <p>Polling was conducted across <strong>eight blocks and one individual seat</strong>. Voting began at 9:00 AM and continued until 3:00 PM, with over 900 members exercising their rights to shape the future of the cooperative.</p>
  226. <h2>Uncontested Wins for BJP-Backed Candidates</h2>
  227. <p>Out of 12 blocks in the Amul Dairy structure, <strong>four blocks saw uncontested victories</strong> by candidates backed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This left elections necessary in the remaining eight blocks, where competitive voting took place among the cooperative members.</p>
  228. <p>The uncontested wins highlight the political influence within cooperative elections in Gujarat, where party-backed candidates often play a major role in determining leadership outcomes.</p>
  229. <h2>Vote Counting and Results Announcement</h2>
  230. <p>The <strong>counting of votes is scheduled for Friday, September 12, 2025</strong>. The process will be carried out in two phases, after which the results will be declared on the same day. The announcement is expected to shape the leadership direction of one of India’s most successful dairy cooperatives.</p>
  231. <p>Amul Dairy elections have historically drawn significant attention due to their impact on Gujarat’s dairy sector, rural economy, and cooperative governance model. This year’s high turnout further reflects the importance of the election among members.</p>
  232. <h2>Why This Election Matters</h2>
  233. <p>Amul Dairy is not just a cooperative; it is the backbone of India’s White Revolution and a global brand name. The decisions taken by its board affect thousands of dairy farmers, supply chain partners, and consumers across India.</p>
  234. <p>With such high participation, the results on September 12 are being closely watched by both the dairy industry and political observers. The outcome will also provide insights into the evolving dynamics of cooperative politics in Gujarat.</p>

  288. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Vande Bharat Express Adds Navsari to Its Stops</h2>
  289. <p>From August 23, the Gandhinagar Capital–Mumbai Central Vande Bharat Express (Train No. 20902) will make an experimental two-minute halt at Navsari station, responding to growing public demand and improving regional connectivity.</p>
  290. <h2>Timings of the New Stop</h2>
  291. <ul>
  292. <li>The southbound train (20902) will pause at Navsari at 17:27 hrs, resuming departure at 17:29 hrs.</li>
  293. <li>The northbound service (20901) will begin halting there from August 24, stopping at 08:43 hrs and departing at 08:45 hrs.</li>
  294. </ul>
  295. <h3>Why Navsari Matters</h3>
  296. <p>Navsari becomes the 20th city in Gujarat to receive Vande Bharat connectivity—expanding access across the state and offering commuters from South Gujarat a faster, modern rail option.</p>
  297. <h2>Context &amp; Responses</h2>
  298. <p>The revised halt follows earlier confirmation by Union Jal Shakti Minister and Navsari MP C.R. Patil—and reinforces India Railways&#8217; agenda of enhancing convenience through semi-high-speed services.

  908. <li>Capable of detecting hydrogen and nitrogen dioxide with high selectivity and speed.</li>
  909. <li>Low-cost alternative to conventional <strong>palladium-based sensors</strong> (nickel is 1/10th the price of palladium).</li>
  910. </ul>
  911. <h2>Applications Across Sectors</h2>
  912. <p>The smart sensor has immense potential in:</p>
  913. <ul>
  914. <li><strong>Clean Energy:</strong> Real-time hydrogen leak detection in fuel stations and vehicles.</li>
  915. <li><strong>Defence &amp; Aerospace:</strong> Lightweight, portable sensors for safety-critical environments.</li>
  916. <li><strong>Environmental Monitoring:</strong> Detecting nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compounds in urban air.</li>
  917. </ul>
  918. <h2>Next Steps in Innovation</h2>
  919. <p>The research team is advancing towards <strong>ultra-low power and self-powered sensor devices</strong> using atomically thin material-based heterostructures. These new designs, fabricated with CMOS-compatible methods, will enable scalable manufacturing and AI-assisted smart sensing.</p>
  920. <h2>A Leap for Atmanirbhar Bharat</h2>
  921. <p>This innovation reflects India’s growing leadership in <strong>green technology and IoT-driven safety systems</strong>. By combining affordability, scalability, and cutting-edge nanotechnology, the sensor opens pathways for global applications while advancing India’s clean energy transition.</p>

  942. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>New Insights into Fermented Foods</h2>
  943. <p>A recent study by the <strong>Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST), Guwahati</strong>, an autonomous institute under the Department of Science &amp; Technology (DST), has revealed that <strong>fermented foods can play a vital role in personalising nutrition for India’s diverse population</strong>.</p>
  944. <h2>Why Fermented Foods Matter</h2>
  945. <p>Researchers found that fermented foods such as <em>yogurt, idli, miso, natto, kimchi, and fermented fish</em> are rich in <strong>bioactive peptides (BAPs)</strong> — short protein fragments of 2–20 amino acids. These BAPs interact with biomolecules through electrostatic forces and hydrogen bonding to exert powerful health benefits.</p>
  946. <h3>Health Benefits Identified</h3>
  947. <ul>
  948. <li>Regulation of blood pressure and blood sugar</li>
  949. <li>Strengthened immunity</li>
  950. <li>Reduced inflammation</li>
  951. <li>Antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immune-modulatory effects</li>
  952. </ul>
  953. <h2>Precision Nutrition for India</h2>
  954. <p>The study highlights that the <strong>effectiveness of BAPs varies across populations</strong> due to factors like genetic polymorphisms, gut microbiota, dietary habits, and health conditions. For example, gene variants in <strong>ACE</strong> or <strong>IL-6</strong> can influence individual responses.</p>
  955. <h2>Global Relevance &amp; Public Health Integration</h2>
  956. <p>Published in the journal <em>Food Chemistry (2025)</em>, the research emphasizes the importance of <strong>precision nutrition</strong> and recommends incorporating fermented foods into public health programs. It also calls for <strong>omics-based research</strong> and innovations in rural food systems to position India as a global leader in personalised nutrition.</p>
  957. <h2>India’s Path Ahead</h2>
  958. <p>By integrating traditional knowledge with cutting-edge biotechnology, India can use fermented foods not only to <strong>improve public health</strong> but also to create a sustainable model for <strong>Atmanirbhar Bharat in nutrition science</strong>.</p>

  1198. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>First-Ever Dual Commissioning of Major Combatants</h2>
  1199. <p>In a historic first, the Indian Navy will commission two advanced frontline stealth frigates—<strong>INS Udaygiri (F35)</strong> and <strong>INS Himgiri (F34)</strong>—simultaneously on <strong>26 August 2025</strong> at Visakhapatnam. This marks a significant milestone in India’s naval modernisation and self-reliance efforts.</p>
  1200. <h2>Project 17A: Next-Generation Stealth Frigates</h2>
  1201. <p>Both vessels belong to the <strong>Project 17A</strong> class of stealth frigates, which are larger, more versatile, and stealthier than their Shivalik-class predecessors. With a displacement of 6,700 tonnes, these frigates offer enhanced capabilities in both offensive and defensive operations while maintaining a reduced radar cross-section.</p>
  1202. <h3>Key Features</h3>
  1203. <ul>
  1204. <li>Built under the <em>Make in India</em> and <em>Aatmanirbhar Bharat</em> initiatives.</li>
  1205. <li>INS Udaygiri built by <strong>Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd (MDL), Mumbai</strong>.</li>
  1206. <li>INS Himgiri built by <strong>Garden Reach Shipbuilders &amp; Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata</strong>.</li>
  1207. <li>INS Udaygiri is the <strong>100th ship</strong> designed by the Navy’s Warship Design Bureau.</li>
  1208. </ul>
  1209. <h2>Advanced Propulsion &amp; Weaponry</h2>
  1210. <p>The frigates are powered by a <strong>Combined Diesel or Gas (CODOG)</strong> propulsion system, integrating diesel engines and gas turbines for improved efficiency and performance. Their weapon suite includes:</p>
  1211. <ul>
  1212. <li>Supersonic Surface-to-Surface Missiles</li>
  1213. <li>Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missiles</li>
  1214. <li>76 mm Medium-Range Gun</li>
  1215. <li>30 mm and 12.7 mm Close-In Weapon Systems</li>
  1216. <li>Anti-submarine and underwater weapon systems</li>
  1217. </ul>
  1218. <h2>Boosting the Defence Ecosystem</h2>
  1219. <p>The construction of these frigates has engaged over <strong>200 MSMEs</strong>, generating approximately <strong>4,000 direct jobs</strong> and over <strong>10,000 indirect jobs</strong>. This reflects the growing industrial and technological capacity of India’s defence sector.</p>
  1220. <h3>Part of a Bigger Modernisation Drive</h3>
  1221. <p>2025 has already seen the commissioning of several indigenous naval platforms, including INS Surat, INS Nilgiri, INS Vaghsheer, INS Arnala, and INS Nistar. The addition of Udaygiri and Himgiri further strengthens India’s blue-water capabilities.</p>
  1222. <h2>Symbol of Maritime Self-Reliance</h2>
  1223. <p>The commissioning ceremony will not just be a naval tradition but a celebration of India’s journey towards a robust, self-sufficient maritime defence ecosystem. With these ships joining the fleet, the message is clear: India’s seas are protected by ships built in India, designed by Indians, and crewed by Indians.</p>

  1244. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Satellite Insights Illuminate Dharali Catastrophe</h2>
  1245. <p>ISRO’s National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) used high-resolution imagery from Cartosat‑2S satellites to assess the catastrophic flash flood that hit Dharali and Harsil villages in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, on August 5, 2025. Pre-event data from June 13, 2024, compared with images from August 7, 2025, reveal the scale of destruction that unfolded.</p>
  1246. <h2>Findings from the Space</h2>
  1247. <ul>
  1248. <li>A distinct flash‑flood signature emerged—stream channels widened, and river morphology altered, indicating increased flow and shifting paths.</li>
  1249. <li>A massive fan-shaped debris field (about 20 hectares, roughly 750 m × 450 m) formed at the confluence of Kheer Gad and Bhagirathi rivers.</li>
  1250. <li>Several buildings appear destroyed or buried under debris and mud, with structures partially or entirely submerged.</li>
  1251. </ul>
  1252. <h3>Role in Rescue and Relief</h3>
  1253. <p>These satellite-generated insights are invaluable for ground teams. By highlighting areas where debris is heaviest and buildings once stood, ISRO’s analysis is guiding search and rescue operations and helping restore connectivity to the region.</p>
  1254. <h2>The Bigger Picture</h2>
  1255. <p>The flood event underscores the mounting vulnerability of Himalayan settlements to sudden geological disasters. The raging torrents and extensive sediment deposits highlight pressing challenges around climate resilience, land-use planning, and early warning infrastructure in fragile mountain regions.</p>

  1276. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Honouring Heroes Through Education</h2>
  1277. <p>In a notable curriculum update, NCERT has introduced new chapters on Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Brigadier Mohammad Usman, and Major Somnath Sharma in this academic year’s school textbooks.</p>
  1278. <h2>Details of the New Inclusion</h2>
  1279. <ul>
  1280. <li><strong>Class VIII (Urdu): Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw</strong> – India’s first five-star general, celebrated for his leadership in the 1971 war.</li>
  1281. <li><strong>Class VII (Urdu): Brigadier Mohammad Usman</strong> – Posthumous Maha Vir Chakra recipient, honoured for his valour during the 1947–48 conflict.</li>
  1282. <li><strong>Class VIII (English): Major Somnath Sharma</strong> – The first Param Vir Chakra awardee, known for his bravery in defending Srinagar Airport in 1947.</li>
  1283. </ul>
  1284. <h3>Why This Matters</h3>
  1285. <p>The Defence Ministry, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and NCERT, has made these additions to foster stories of resilience, empathy, emotional intelligence, and the importance of contributing to nation-building. The initiative also aligns with efforts to integrate the National War Memorial (NWM) into educational content.</p>
  1286. <h2>Building Patriotism in Classrooms</h2>
  1287. <p>By learning about these national heroes—known for their sacrifice and leadership—students are encouraged to internalise values of courage and responsibility while understanding India’s military heritage in a meaningful context.</p>

  1350. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>A Ceremonial Leader No More</h2>
  1351. <p>Acting President of Myanmar, U Myint Swe, passed away on the morning of August 7, 2025, in Naypyidaw at the age of 74. The National Defence and Security Council has announced that he will receive a state funeral in his honour.</p>
  1352. <h2>Health Battles Behind the Curtains</h2>
  1353. <p>Myint Swe had been battling Parkinson’s disease and related neurological conditions. After undergoing treatment in Singapore and Myanmar, his condition deteriorated in July, with symptoms like severe weight loss, cognitive decline, and loss of appetite. He had been admitted to intensive care earlier that month.</p>
  1354. <h3>Long Absence, Symbolic Presence</h3>
  1355. <p>Serving primarily in ceremonial roles, Myint Swe was appointed Acting President in February 2021, following a military-led coup. The move enabled the military to seize control through the National Defence and Security Council, with real power resting in the hands of Commander‑in‑Chief Min Aung Hlaing. Myint Swe had been on medical leave since July 2024, delegating his duties to the junta leader.</p>
  1356. <h2>Legacy Amid Political Turbulence</h2>
  1357. <ul>
  1358. <li>A former army general, he held several powerful posts, including Yangon Chief Minister and First Vice President under the quasi-civilian government.</li>
  1359. <li>Known for his role in the Saffron Revolution crackdown and internal military purges, he was seen as a loyalist propping up authoritarian rule.</li>
  1360. <li>Internationally, Myint Swe faced U.S. sanctions following the 2021 crackdown on democratic leaders.</li>
  1361. </ul>
  1362. <h2>What Comes Next</h2>
  1363. <p>With his demise, Myanmar’s junta is likely to consolidate authority further, with Min Aung Hlaing already holding both military and executive power. Observers remain skeptical of any democratic transition amid ongoing unrest and calls for fair elections.</p>

  1419. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>First of 10 Common Secretariat Buildings Goes Live</h2>
  1420. <p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated **Kartavya Bhavan-3** on August 6, 2025, located on Kartavya Path in New Delhi. The new building is the first of the planned 10 Common Central Secretariat (CCS) buildings under India&#8217;s ambitious Central Vista redevelopment initiative, designed to centralise key government ministries and improve operational efficiency.</p>
  1421. <h2>What’s Inside Kartavya Bhavan‑3?</h2>
  1422. <ul>
  1423. <li>Spread over **1.5 lakh sqm**, with two basements and seven floors above ground.</li>
  1424. <li>Houses ministries including Home Affairs, External Affairs, Rural Development, MSME, Petroleum &amp; Natural Gas, DoPT, and the office of the Principal Scientific Adviser.</li>
  1425. <li>Features modern amenities: creche, yoga room, medical facility, cafeteria, multipurpose hall, advanced conference rooms, and secure IT‑ready workspaces.</li>
  1426. </ul>

  1439. <h2>What This Means for India</h2>
  1440. <ul>
  1441. <li>Marks a shift to **centralised, efficient administration**.</li>

  1465. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>A New Chapter in Open AI</h2>
  1466. <p>On August 5, 2025, OpenAI introduced **GPT‑OSS**, its first open-weight language model family since GPT‑2. Available under the Apache 2.0 license, the release includes two variants: a 120-billion-parameter model and a compact 20-billion-parameter model, both designed for flexible use across devices.</p>
  1467. <h2>Model Variants &amp; Performance</h2>
  1468. <ul>
  1469. <li><strong>GPT‑OSS 120B</strong>: A high-capacity model achieving performance on par with OpenAI’s proprietary o4-mini variant. Requires a high-end GPU (e.g., NVIDIA H100, 80 GB) to operate efficiently.</li>
  1470. <li><strong>GPT‑OSS 20B</strong>: Designed for low-latency, on-device use—capable of running on systems with just 16 GB of memory, including laptops or edge devices.</li>
  1471. </ul>
  1472. <p>Both models support chain-of-thought reasoning, adjustable reasoning depth, and built-in agentic abilities like function calling, browsing, and code execution. They offer native MXFP4 quantization for optimized inference speed and memory use.</p>
  1473. <h3>Accessible, Transparent, and Customizable</h3>
  1474. <ul>
  1475. <li>Fully open weights under Apache 2.0—permitting commercial use, redistribution, and downstream customization.</li>
  1476. <li>Fine-tunable and extendable, enabling developers and researchers to adapt the models for domain-specific use cases.</li>
  1477. <li>Extensive safety measures implemented—including external audits and visible reasoning chains—to mitigate misuse risk.</li>
  1478. </ul>
  1479. <h2>Deployment &amp; Integration Options</h2>
  1480. <p>The models are available on platforms like Hugging Face, Azure AI Foundry, and tools like Hugging Face Transformers, vLLM, and Ollama. GPT‑OSS 20B is optimized to run on consumer GPUs such as AMD Radeon 9070 XT and even Snapdragon-powered devices for edge inference.</p>
  1481. <h3>Key Use Cases</h3>
  1482. <ul>
  1483. <li>Private assistants and secure on-premise LLMs</li>
  1484. <li>Domain-specific copilots built with fine-tuned data</li>
  1485. <li>Academic experimentation and local research tools</li>
  1486. <li>Edge deployments where privacy and latency are critical</li>
  1487. </ul>
  1488. <h2>Why This Release Matters</h2>
  1489. <p>The GPT‑OSS release represents a pivotal shift in OpenAI’s strategy, embracing openness after years of proprietary-only models. It extends advanced AI capabilities to a broader developer community, offering transparency, local deployment, and innovation opportunities. This move also places OpenAI in direct competition with other open-weight models like Meta’s LLaMA and DeepSeek.</p>
  1490. <h3>Challenges &amp; Considerations</h3>
  1491. <ul>
  1492. <li>Although strong in reasoning and benchmark tests like MMLU and AIME, the models may underperform in creative generation tasks.</li>
  1493. <li>Smaller footprint of GPT‑OSS 20B results in more hallucinations and lower accuracy than larger models in some knowledge-based tasks.</li>
  1494. <li>Chain-of-thought capability increases observability but also requires best practices to filter or moderate reasoning content in production deployments.</li>
  1495. </ul>
  1496. <h2>Looking Ahead</h2>
  1497. <p>With the GPT‑OSS lineup now available, innovation in open-source AI is entering a new era. Developers, startups, academics, and enterprises can build, customize, and deploy frontier-capable AI systems using local resources and community-driven tools. This aligns with the broader push for democratizing AI access while upholding safety and transparency.</p>

  1518. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Historic Boost for Assam’s River-Based Transport</h2>
  1519. <p>In a major step towards sustainable logistics in the Northeast, the Government of India operationalised the Kopili River (NW-57) as a National Waterway. On August 2, 2025, the maiden cargo movement was flagged off from Chandrapur to Hatsingimari in Assam, marking the first such trial on this stretch since 2014.</p>
  1520. <h2>Maiden Voyage of MV VV Giri</h2>
  1521. <p>The vessel MV VV Giri, equipped with self-loading capabilities, carried 300 metric tonnes of cement from M/s Star Cement. The 300-kilometre journey covered the Kopili River (NW-57) and the Brahmaputra River (NW-2), with an estimated travel time of 12 to 14 hours. This journey signifies a revival of intra-state cargo movement in Assam’s river systems after more than a decade.</p>
  1522. <h3>Minister&#8217;s Remarks</h3>
  1523. <p>Union Minister of Ports, Shipping &amp; Waterways, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, called it a &#8220;watershed moment&#8221; for the state. He highlighted that the activation of NW-57 brings the total operational waterways in Assam to 1168 kilometers, boosting regional connectivity and sustainable transportation.</p>
  1524. <h2>Strategic Importance of Waterway Revival</h2>
  1525. <ul>
  1526. <li>Reduces logistics costs and road congestion</li>
  1527. <li>An environmentally friendly alternative to road transport</li>
  1528. <li>Revives neglected river routes post-independence</li>
  1529. <li>Strengthens the Modi government’s push for multimodal logistics under PM Gati Shakti and Maritime India Vision 2030</li>
  1530. </ul>
  1531. <h3>Economic &amp; Environmental Benefits</h3>
  1532. <p>Shifting 300 tonnes of cement from road to river transport replaces nearly 23 truckloads, reducing both emissions and traffic. Inland water transport is not only cost-effective but also critical for last-mile connectivity in rural and remote areas.</p>

  1563. <h2>A Symbol of the New Assam</h2>
  1564. <p>Shri Sonowal emphasized that the success of this maiden voyage reflects the vision of a “connected, empowered, and growth-aligned Assam.” Inland waterways are no longer just a mode of transport—they are the arteries of regional prosperity, unlocking new opportunities for commerce, industry, and employment.</p>
  1565. <h2>Next Steps</h2>
  1566. <p>The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) will continue enhancing navigability on key rivers in Assam. More cargo and passenger services are expected to be rolled out across other stretches of NW-57 and beyond, creating an integrated river-based logistics corridor in the Northeast.</p>

  1959. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Bullet Train Bridge Over Sabarmati River Reaches 36 Metres in Height</h2>
  1960. <p>As part of the <strong>Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor</strong>, a new bridge rising over the <strong>Sabarmati River in Ahmedabad</strong> is under construction. The bridge will stand at an impressive <strong>36 metres tall</strong>, equivalent to a 12-storey building, and span <strong>480 metres</strong>.</p>
  1961. <h3>Engineering Feat: Design &amp; Construction Highlights</h3>
  1962. <ul>
  1963. <li>Built using the <strong>Balanced Cantilever Technique</strong>—segments are added without scaffolding from below.</li>
  1964. <li>Features <strong>eight circular piers</strong>—four placed in the river, two on banks, two beyond—to ensure stability and minimize disruption.</li>
  1965. <li>Longest spans are <strong>five spans of 76 m and two spans of 50 m</strong>, reducing riverbed interference and ensuring robust clearance.</li>
  1966. </ul>
  1967. <h2>Keeping Clearance &amp; Safety at the Forefront</h2>
  1968. <p>The bridge’s deck is elevated significantly above the nearby <strong>14.8‑metre Western Railway Ahmedabad–Delhi line</strong> to maintain a mandatory vertical clearance of at least <strong>5.5 m</strong>, as per Indian Roads Congress norms.</p>
  1969. <h3>Why This Structure Stands Out</h3>
  1970. <ul>
  1971. <li>It will be the tallest bridge within the bullet train corridor, reshaping Ahmedabad’s skyline.</li>
  1972. <li>The height helps the structure withstand flood risks and river water level fluctuations.</li>
  1973. <li>Deep pile foundations and longer spans reflect advanced engineering in India’s first high-speed rail infrastructure.</li>
  1974. </ul>
  1975. <h2>Project Context &amp; Timeline</h2>
  1976. <ul>
  1977. <li>The Sabarmati bridge is part of a total of 25 river crossings planned on the MAHSR corridor—21 in Gujarat and 4 in Maharashtra.</li>
  1978. <li>Of these, 16 river bridges in Gujarat have already been completed.</li>
  1979. <li>The Gujarat stretch of the project is scheduled for completion by December 2027, while the entire corridor aims for completion by December 2029.</li>
  1980. </ul>
  1981. <h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
  1982. <p>The high-rise bridge over Sabarmati River showcases cutting-edge design and engineering as India builds its maiden bullet train corridor. With advanced techniques, strategic planning, and future-proof infrastructure, the Mumbai–Ahmedabad high-speed rail is steadily transforming India’s transport landscape.</p>

  2180. <ul>
  2181. <li>Effects of hypoxia and extreme cold on human performance.</li>
  2182. <li>Stress responses in isolated and confined environments.</li>
  2183. <li>Field testing of life-support, habitat, and communication systems.</li>
  2184. </ul>
  2185. <h2>India’s Leap Towards Planetary Missions</h2>
  2186. <p>With the launch of HOPE, India joins a select group of nations conducting high-fidelity analog missions to prepare for human exploration of other planets. The mission is a crucial step toward India’s goal of expanding its presence beyond Earth.</p>
  2187. <h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
  2188. <p>The HOPE mission is not just a test—it’s a declaration of India’s growing ambitions in human spaceflight and planetary exploration. As ISRO simulates Mars-like conditions in Ladakh, the journey to the Moon and Mars moves a step closer.</p>

  2379. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>TEMA India Sets Up First Private Test Facility for Heavy Water Upgradation</h2>
  2380. <p>In a significant milestone for India&#8217;s nuclear energy sector and the Atma-Nirbhar Bharat initiative, <strong>TEMA India Ltd.</strong> has commissioned the country&#8217;s first-ever private test facility for <strong>upgrading depleted heavy water</strong>. The facility, inaugurated on <strong>26 July 2025</strong>, represents a major stride in India&#8217;s nuclear self-reliance efforts.</p>
  2381. <h3>Landmark Public-Private Collaboration</h3>
  2382. <p>The facility, inaugurated by <strong>Shri Rajesh V</strong>, Director-Technical at <strong>NPCIL</strong>, and <strong>Shri K.T. Shenoy</strong>, Director, Chemical Engineering Group at <strong>BARC</strong>, marks the first time such advanced nuclear component testing has been carried out entirely in the private sector. Previously, such facilities were exclusive to government-run organizations like BARC.</p>
  2383. <h2>Highlights of the Facility</h2>
  2384. <ul>
  2385. <li><strong>Location:</strong> TEMA India, Mumbai</li>
  2386. <li><strong>Technology Transfer:</strong> BARC (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre)</li>
  2387. <li><strong>Commissioning Partner:</strong> NPCIL (Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited)</li>

  2394. <li><strong>KAIGA Units 5 &amp; 6</strong></li>
  2395. </ul>
  2396. <h2>Advancing Atma-Nirbhar Bharat</h2>
  2397. <p>This facility embodies the spirit of India&#8217;s Atma-Nirbhar Bharat campaign, significantly reducing dependence on foreign technology and testing infrastructure. By designing, manufacturing, and validating nuclear components domestically, India strengthens its energy security and builds long-term resilience in high-tech strategic sectors.</p>
  2398. <h3>Strong Industry-Government Synergy</h3>
  2399. <p>The collaboration highlights an effective partnership model between private enterprises like TEMA India and public institutions like NPCIL and BARC. This synergy leverages combined technical expertise and infrastructure to accelerate India&#8217;s nuclear capabilities.</p>
  2400. <h2>Why This Matters</h2>
  2401. <ul>
  2402. <li><strong>Enhanced Self-Reliance:</strong> Reduces reliance on imports and external testing facilities.</li>
  2403. <li><strong>Private Sector Participation:</strong> Marks private sector’s entry into advanced nuclear component testing and validation.</li>
  2404. <li><strong>National Energy Security:</strong> Strengthens India&#8217;s nuclear infrastructure and energy independence.</li>
  2405. </ul>
  2406. <h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
  2407. <p>TEMA India’s commissioning of the first private heavy water upgradation test facility signals a transformative moment in India&#8217;s nuclear industry. This step solidifies India&#8217;s commitment to sustainable and self-reliant nuclear technology development, laying a robust foundation for future innovation and growth.</p>

  2481. ]]></description>
  2482. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Government Blocks 25 OTT Platforms over Obscene Content</h2>
  2483. <p>On <strong>25 July 2025</strong>, the Indian government directed Internet Service Providers to block access to at least <strong>25 OTT platforms</strong> for allegedly streaming “obscene, vulgar and, in some cases, pornographic” content. Notable names on the list include <strong>ULLU, ALT Balaji (ALTT), Desiflix, Big Shots App, Boomex, Navarasa Lite, MoodX</strong>, and others.</p>
  2484. <h3>Legal Framework &amp; Government Action</h3>
  2485. <ul>
  2486. <li>The move was implemented under the <strong>Information Technology Act 2000</strong> and the <strong>IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021</strong>.</li>
  2487. <li>Action coordinated by the <strong>Ministry of Information &amp; Broadcasting</strong> along with MeitY, MHA, DoLA, FICCI, CII, and experts in women and child rights.</li>
  2488. <li>The platforms were first warned in September 2024 and issued advisories earlier in 2025, but continued violations prompted the move.</li>
  2489. </ul>
  2490. <h3>Nature of Content Violations</h3>
  2491. <p>The blocked platforms were found hosting content primarily lacking storyline or context, filled with sexual innuendos, nudity, extended sexually explicit scenes, and occasionally scenarios involving sensitive or family dynamics. Authorities labelled many of these as “soft porn” disguised as erotic web series.</p>
  2492. <h2>Why This Crackdown Matters</h2>
  2493. <ul>
  2494. <li>It reflects the government’s tightening grip on content that violates statutory norms and moral decency.</li>
  2495. <li>The crackdown reinforces the principle that platforms must self-regulate under the Code of Ethics mandated by the IT Rules.</li>
  2496. <li>It aims to protect minors by curbing access to adult content easily available online.</li>
  2497. </ul>
  2498. <h3>The Road So Far</h3>
  2499. <ul>
  2500. <li>In March 2024, 18 platforms were previously blocked for similar reasons.</li>
  2501. <li>Some platforms attempted to continue operations by shifting to new domains; these were included in the latest ban.</li>
  2502. </ul>
  2503. <h2>Legal &amp; Regulatory Context</h2>
  2504. <p>Under Indian law—including Sections 67 and 67B of the IT Act and relevant Pakistan Obscenity laws—publishing or transmitting obscene content online is a punishable offence, especially if minors are involved. These rules also reinforce obligations on intermediaries to block such content.</p>
  2505. <h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
  2506. <p>This decisive move underscores India’s increasingly stringent approach to regulating digital content. The government’s latest action sends a clear message: OTT platforms must adhere strictly to legal and moral standards or face censorship measures. The focus remains on safeguarding societal values and protecting vulnerable groups from inappropriate content online.</p>

  2547. <li>Fruit bouquets made of uncut, fresh produce with seasonal variations.</li>
  2548. <li>Eco-friendly presentation boxes and decor options.</li>

  2823. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>INS Tamal Arrives in St. Petersburg for Maiden Port Visit</h2>
  2824. <p>India’s frontline stealth frigate<strong> , INS Tamal,</strong> docked at the historic port of <strong>St. Petersburg</strong> on <strong>24 July 2025</strong> for her first international port call since commissioning.</p>
  2825. <h3>Commissioning in Russia</h3>
  2826. <p>The frigate was officially commissioned on <strong>1 July 2025</strong> at the Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad. The ceremony was presided over by Vice Admiral Sanjay Jasjit Singh and other senior naval officials from India and Russia.</p>
  2827. <h2>Ceremonial Welcome by Russian Hosts</h2>
  2828. <p>INS Tamal received a formal welcome in St. Petersburg involving representatives from the city government, officials of the <strong>Russian Federation Navy</strong>, and a ceremonial band. The occasion coincided with the Russian Navy Day celebrations.</p>
  2829. <h3>Significance of the Visit</h3>
  2830. <ul>
  2831. <li>This marks the first overseas port call for INS Tamal, symbolizing deep Indo-Russian naval cooperation.</li>
  2832. <li>The ship is the <strong>second of the Tushil-class</strong> frigates (Project 11356.6), and the <strong>last foreign-built vessel</strong> to be inducted into India’s Navy.</li>
  2833. </ul>
  2834. <h2>INS Tamal Specifications</h2>
  2835. <ul>
  2836. <li>Length: ~125 m | Displacement: ~4,000 t</li>
  2837. <li>Armament includes BrahMos cruise missiles, Shtil-1 VLS system, 100 mm naval gun, CIWS, torpedoes, and ASW rockets.</li>
  2838. <li>Features over 26% indigenous systems like Humsa-NG sonar and C2 suite.</li>
  2839. </ul>
  2840. <h2>Program Context &amp; Next Steps</h2>
  2841. <ul>
  2842. <li>INS Tamal was built at Yantar Shipyard, launched in February 2022, and completed trials by mid‑2025.</li>
  2843. <li>It will join India’s Western Fleet, with a homeport at Karwar, and thereafter undertake a multi-port voyage before fully integrating into service.</li>
  2844. </ul>
  2845. <h2>Final Take</h2>
  2846. <p>The arrival of INS Tamal in St. Petersburg marks a major milestone—both for the Indian Navy’s strategic outreach and for deepening maritime ties with Russia. As India transitions to indigenous shipbuilding, Tamal stands as the last symbol of an era, setting the stage for future self-reliant naval strength.</p>

  3069. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Unnati Hooda Dethrones Sindhu in Round of 16 Clash</h2>
  3070. <p>In what could be remembered as the dawn of a new era in Indian badminton, <strong>17-year-old Unnati Hooda</strong> delivered the performance of her career, defeating <strong>two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu</strong> in the Round of 16 at the <strong>China Open Super 1000</strong> tournament in Changzhou.</p>
  3071. <h3>Match Summary: Hooda vs Sindhu</h3>
  3072. <ul>
  3073. <li><strong>Final Score:</strong> 21-16, 19-21, 21-13</li>
  3074. <li><strong>Duration:</strong> Over 60 minutes of high-intensity play</li>
  3075. <li><strong>Location:</strong> Changzhou, China – BWF Super 1000 Series</li>
  3076. </ul>
  3077. <p>Hooda showcased nerves of steel and fierce net control, overpowering Sindhu in the opening game. Though Sindhu clawed her way back in the second, Hooda maintained composure to dominate the decider. The win places her firmly in the quarter-finals — the youngest Indian woman to achieve this feat at a Super 1000 event.</p>
  3078. <h2>Quote of the Day</h2>
  3079. <p><em>&#8220;This is definitely the biggest win of my career. I played point by point and stayed aggressive,&#8221;</em> said Hooda after the match.</p>
  3080. <h2>Why This Win Is Historic</h2>
  3081. <ul>
  3082. <li>Marks Sindhu’s <strong>first international loss to an Indian player</strong> since 2018.</li>
  3083. <li>Signals a potential generational shift in India’s women’s singles landscape.</li>
  3084. <li>Establishes Hooda as a future contender in world badminton.</li>
  3085. </ul>
  3086. <h3>Sindhu’s Journey Ends Early</h3>
  3087. <p>After beating Japan’s Tomoka Miyazaki in the first round, Sindhu looked poised for a deep run. However, unforced errors and lack of rhythm in the decider cost her dearly. As she regroups, questions loom about her future dominance amid rising young talent.</p>
  3088. <h2>What&#8217;s Next for Hooda?</h2>
  3089. <p>With this morale-boosting win, Hooda heads into the quarter-finals with momentum. The badminton community now watches closely to see if the prodigy can extend her fairy-tale run further in Changzhou.</p>
  3090. <h3>The Road Ahead at China Open 2025</h3>
  3091. <ul>
  3092. <li>Next Match: Hooda to face a top-seeded Asian rival in the quarters</li>
  3093. <li>Other Indians in action: Satwik-Chirag continue their doubles dominance</li>
  3094. <li>Global stars like An Se-young and Wang Zhiyi have advanced smoothly</li>
  3095. </ul>

  3119. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>New Economic Chapter Begins with India–UK CETA Signing</h2>
  3120. <p>On July 24, 2025, India and the United Kingdom signed the <strong>Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)</strong>, marking a pivotal moment in their economic partnership. The agreement was formalised by Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and UK Secretary of State Jonathan Reynolds, in the presence of Prime Ministers Modi and Starmer, cementing a shared vision of inclusive growth and opportunity.</p>
  3121. <h3>Tariff Eliminations &amp; Market Access</h3>
  3122. <p>CETA removes duties on <strong>99% of Indian export items,</strong> including textiles, leather, gems, and agricultural products such as mangoes and spices, while the UK agreed to phased tariff reductions on key exports like whisky, gin, cars, cosmetics, and food items. This creates a vast new market for Indian producers.</p>
  3123. <h3>Inclusive Benefits for All</h3>
  3124. <p>This agreement extends beyond trade, offering direct benefits to <strong>farmers, fisherfolk, tribal communities, women entrepreneurs, youth, MSMEs, and professionals</strong>. Improvements include better market access, digital trade facilitation, value chain integration, and skill development.</p>
  3125. <h3>Services, Mobility &amp; Social Security</h3>
  3126. <p>CETA includes broad commitments for the <strong>services sector</strong>, easing access in IT/ITeS, finance, professional services, education, and telecom. It also introduces streamlined mobility options for yoga instructors, chefs, musicians, architects, and engineers. A notable provision is the <strong>Double Contribution Convention</strong>, which exempts Indian professionals and their employers from UK social security contributions for up to three years.</p>
  3127. <h3>Creating Jobs &amp; Driving Growth</h3>
  3128. <p>Economic forecasts estimate that bilateral trade could grow by £25.5 billion (~USD 34 billion) by 2040, with the UK economy gaining approximately £4.8 billion annually. The deal aims to stimulate job creation, particularly in manufacturing, agriculture, digital services, and MSMEs, while reinforcing India&#8217;s Viksit Bharat vision.</p>
  3129. <h3>Strategic Pathway Ahead</h3>
  3130. <p>CETA also establishes a new strategic partnership on climate, security, defence, and innovation. Remaining steps include parliamentary approval in both countries before the agreement comes into force, expected by mid-2026.</p>
  3131. <p>This landmark treaty marks a historic step forward, laying a foundation for equitable trade, talent mobility, and economic upliftment across communities in both nations.</p>

  3187. <h2>India and the UK Sign Historic Free Trade Deal and Launch Vision 2035 Strategic Partnership</h2>
  3188. <p>On July 24, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in London. The deal—India’s first major pact with a European nation and the UK’s most significant post‑Brexit trade agreement—sets a bold agenda for the Indo-British economic relationship.</p>
  3189. <h3>Trade Gains and Economic Impact</h3>
  3190. <p>The FTA grants **99 % duty‑free access** for Indian exports to the UK, targeting textile, leather, gems, and pharma sectors, while the UK secures reduced tariffs on around **90 % of its exports**, including whisky, gin, cars, cosmetics, and medical devices. Projected to boost bilateral trade by **£25.5 billion annually** and increase UK GDP by **£4.8 billion**, the agreement also opens new employment, investment, and market opportunities on both sides.</p>
  3191. <h3>Services, Mobility, and Social Security</h3>
  3192. <p>By allowing enhanced access for Indian professionals—chefs, yoga instructors, musicians, engineers—the pact helps ease mobility while a social security agreement prevents double deductions for short‑term workers.</p>
  3193. <h3>Vision 2035: Beyond Trade</h3>
  3194. <p>Alongside the FTA, the two leaders launched **UK–India Vision 2035**, a renewed Comprehensive Strategic Partnership focusing on defence, climate action, education, technology, and border security. Highlights include a Defence Industrial Roadmap and cooperation in innovation and skills development.</p>
  3195. <h3>Next Steps &amp; Ratification</h3>
  3196. <p>The agreement was signed by PM Modi and PM Starmer in London. However, formal implementation is contingent on parliamentary approval in both countries, expected by mid‑2026.</p>
  3197. <p>This strategic deal reinforces India’s &#8220;Make in India&#8221; ambition and marks a new era in Indo-British relations, anchored by economic growth, shared innovation, and strong civic ties.</p>

  3219. <h2>India’s IT Sector Expected to Grow a Modest 0–2 % in FY26</h2>
  3220. <p>India’s information technology services sector is projected to experience flat to slight growth in FY26. According to a recent report by <strong>CareEdge Ratings</strong>, constant‑currency revenue growth is expected to hover between <strong>0–2 %</strong>, effectively translating to a nominal revenue rise of <strong>3–5 %</strong> year-on-year.</p>
  3221. <h3>Muted Demand and Deal-Making Challenges</h3>
  3222. <p>The sector faces headwinds, including macroeconomic uncertainty, client delays in discretionary spending, and global geopolitical tensions impacting business decisions. However, the pipeline of upcoming deals and digital transformation initiatives—especially in AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and analytics—is expected to provide some offset.</p>
  3223. <h3>Industry Guidance and Peer Forecasts</h3>
  3224. <p>Top-tier IT firms are likely to issue cautious revenue guidance in the <strong>2–5 % constant-currency</strong> range, echoing brokerage expectations from Motilal Oswal. This aligns with similar predictions from agencies like ICRA, which estimate a modest <strong>2–3 %</strong> growth for the sector.</p>
  3225. <h3>Strategic Investment in Future Tech</h3>
  3226. <p>Despite a soft Near-term outlook, companies are accelerating investments in generative AI, cloud infrastructure, ER&amp;D, and ESG tech. Persistent cost controls and consolidation among global clients are expected to shape demand in background of slower discretionary budgets.</p>
  3227. <h3>Outlook &amp; Implications</h3>
  3228. <ul>
  3229. <li><strong>Nominal growth:</strong> 3–5 % projected FY26 revenue increase</li>
  3230. <li><strong>Constant currency growth:</strong> Flat to low-single digits (0–2 %)</li>
  3231. <li><strong>Drivers:</strong> Deal wins, digital transformation, AI adoption</li>
  3232. <li><strong>Risks:</strong> US/eurozone macro volatility, discretionary spending delays</li>
  3233. </ul>
  3234. <p>This cautious outlook reflects both cyclical pressures and strategic investments, suggesting resilience but limited upside in the near term.</p>

  3260. <h3>Economic Impact &amp; Policy Support</h3>
  3261. <p>Accounting for **0.9 % of India’s GDP**, the sports sector is on par with developed sporting nations. Its growth is reinforced by strong linkages with **media, telecom, tourism, real estate**, and **education**, enhancing its multiplier effect. Continued government reforms, infrastructure investments, and initiatives across urban and rural regions are expected to bolster momentum.</p>
  3262. <h3>Outlook &amp; Strategic Implications</h3>

  3316. <h2>India to Gain from India–UK FTA With 99% Duty-Free Exports</h2>
  3317. <p>The long-awaited India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is set to deliver substantial economic benefits for India.

The deal is scheduled to be officially signed on <strong>July 24, 2025,</strong> during PM Modi’s UK visit.</p>
  3318. <h3>Major Export Sectors to Gain</h3>
  3319. <p>The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has identified several sectors set to benefit, including:</p>
  3320. <ul>
  3321. <li><strong>Textiles &amp; Apparel</strong></li>
  3322. <li><strong>Leather &amp; Footwear</strong></li>
  3323. <li><strong>Gems &amp; Jewellery</strong></li>

  3329. <h3>Mutual and Reciprocal Benefits</h3>
  3330. <p>The UK will reduce tariffs on <strong>90% of exports to India</strong>, including Scotch whisky, gin, automobiles, cosmetics, and medical devices. For example, duties on Scotch will fall from 150% to 75% immediately and to 40% over 10 years, while UK car tariffs will drop to 10% under quotas.</p>
  3331. <h3>Economic Impact &amp; Job Growth</h3>
  3332. <p>The agreement is expected to nearly <strong>double bilateral trade</strong> to around USD 100 billion by 2030 (from USD 60 billion in 2024). It could significantly boost employment in labor-intensive sectors, particularly textiles, leather, gems, and footwear. UK GDP could also see an uplift of £4.8 billion annually.</p>
  3333. <h3>Beyond Tariffs: Services &amp; Mobility</h3>
  3334. <p>The FTA also addresses <strong>services trade and professional mobility</strong>. Indian professionals—such as chefs, musicians, and yoga instructors—will benefit from smoother entry into the UK. Additionally, a social security agreement ensures Indians working temporarily in the UK won’t pay double contributions.</p>
  3335. <h3>Next Steps and Ratification</h3>
  3336. <p>The agreement, concluded in principle on May 6, 2025, will be signed by Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and his UK counterpart on July 24. It awaits approval from both the British Parliament and India&#8217;s federal cabinet, expected within the next year .</p>
  3337. <p>This landmark FTA represents a strategic win for the &#8220;Make in India&#8221; initiative, enhancing export competitiveness and opening new markets. It marks India’s first comprehensive trade deal with a European partner and a major step in its global economic integration.</p>

  3380. <h2>Govt Fast-Tracks Modernisation of Akashvani &amp; Doordarshan Kendras Nationwide</h2>
  3381. <p>The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has launched a ₹2,539.61 crore Central Sector initiative—known as the <strong>Broadcasting Infrastructure and Network Development (BIND) scheme</strong>—to modernise state-run radio and television centres across India during 2021–26.</p>
  3382. <h3>Comprehensive Upgrade Plan</h3>
  3383. <p>The BIND scheme focuses on:</p>
  3384. <ul>
  3385. <li><strong>Digitalisation and modernisation</strong> of broadcasting equipment</li>
  3386. <li><strong>Replacement</strong> of outdated systems</li>
  3387. <li><strong>Upgradation</strong> of studio and transmitter infrastructure</li>
  3388. <li><strong>Adoption</strong> of new technologies and digital workflows</li>
  3389. </ul>
  3390. <p>These enhancements aim to strengthen public broadcasting and improve quality, reach, and resilience.</p>
  3391. <h3>Focus on Bihar and Regional Centres</h3>
  3392. <p>Bihar is among the key beneficiaries, with ₹64.56 crore allocated for Akashvani Kendras and ₹4.31 crore for Doordarshan Kendras in the state. Similar upgradation plans are underway in every state.</p>
  3393. <h3>Strengthening Public Service Broadcasting</h3>
  3394. <p>According to Minister of State Dr. L. Murugan, the BIND initiative seeks to ensure that AIR and DD stay technologically relevant amid rapidly evolving media patterns and increasing private digital competition in underserved and rural areas.</p>
  3395. <h3>Future Impact</h3>
  3396. <p>By enhancing equipment, studios, and digital infrastructure, the scheme is set to:</p>
  3397. <ul>
  3398. <li>Expand radio/TV coverage across remote geographies</li>
  3399. <li>Ensure high-quality broadcast standards</li>
  3400. <li>Promote rich local content and cultural programming</li>
  3401. <li>Build workflows capable of agile digital delivery</li>
  3402. </ul>
  3403. <p>This comprehensive investment reaffirms the government&#8217;s commitment to revamping public broadcasting and strengthening media reach for all citizens.</p>

  3446. <h2>Bombay High Court Reviews Maharashtra’s 5‑Foot Rule for Ganesh Idol Immersions</h2>
  3447. <p>On July 23, 2025, Maharashtra’s Advocate General Dr. Birendra Saraf informed the Bombay High Court that Ganesh idols measuring **5 feet or less** will be required to be immersed in **artificial ponds**, while idols **above 5 feet**—about **7,000 in number**—will be permitted in **natural water bodies** and removed the next morning.</p>
  3448. <h3>Court Raises Environmental Concerns</h3>
  3449. <p>The court expressed skepticism, noting that **7,000 PoP idols** still pose a substantial environmental threat. Chief Justice Aradhe questioned why larger idols couldn’t also be redirected to artificial tanks, suggesting a reconsideration of the 5‑foot limit. The bench specifically asked if idols up to **7 or 8 feet** could similarly be immersed in artificial ponds.</p>
  3450. <h3>AG’s Response &amp; State’s Proposal</h3>
  3451. <p>Dr. Saraf explained that idols taller than 10 feet often occupy an entire tank—making artificial immersion logistically challenging. He clarified that PoP idols do not dissolve quickly, hence all idols in natural waters will be extracted the morning after immersion to mitigate environmental damage.</p>
  3452. <h3>Court Directive &amp; Timeline</h3>
  3453. <p>The bench asked the state to reconsider the immersion height limit and provide clarification **by tomorrow**, before adjourning the hearing. A decision on whether idols up to **8 feet** should be diverted to artificial tanks is expected to form part of the interim directions for the Ganeshotsav.</p>
  3454. <p>This update forms part of ongoing litigation addressing immersion of PoP idols in natural water bodies, exploring eco-friendly alternatives via artificial immersion, consistent with CPCB guidance.</p>

  3546. <h2>Theatre of Roots Pioneer Ratan Thiyam Passes Away at 77</h2>
  3547. <p>Renowned Manipuri theatre director and playwright <strong>Ratan Thiyam</strong> passed away early on July 23, 2025, at the Regional Institute of Medical Science (RIMS), Imphal, following a prolonged illness. He was 77 years old. Thiyam was widely recognised as a leader of the “Theatre of Roots” movement, integrating traditional Manipuri art forms with contemporary stagecraft.</p>
  3548. <h3>An Iconic Legacy</h3>
  3549. <p>A Padma Shri recipient in 1989 and Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee (1987), Thiyam founded the <strong>Chorus Repertory Theatre</strong> in Imphal in 1976 and served as Director (1987–88) and Chairperson (2013–17) of the National School of Drama (NSD). His groundbreaking works—such as <em>Chakravyuh</em>, <em>Ritusamharam</em>, and his Manipuri adaptations of <em>Macbeth</em> and <em>Andha Yug</em>—revitalised Indian theatre on global stages.</p>
  3550. <h3>Global Recognition and Influence</h3>
  3551. <p>Thiyam’s productions infused classical Indian texts, Greek drama, Japanese Noh theatre, and Manipuri cultural aesthetics. He was honoured with the Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowship (2012) and other international accolades, elevating indigenous performance forms on a global platform.</p>
  3552. <h3>Nation Mourns a Cultural Luminary</h3>
  3553. <p>The Manipur government and leaders like Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma expressed profound grief, calling him a visionary who carried the soul of his homeland through art. The artistic community widely regards him as irreplaceable.</p>
  3554. <p>Ratan Thiyam leaves behind a towering legacy—his vision, discipline, and creative genius will continue to inspire future generations of theatre artists.</p>

  3597. <h2>India Observes National Broadcasting Day on July 23</h2>
  3598. <p>Every year on July 23, India marks <strong>National Broadcasting Day</strong>, commemorating the first organised radio broadcast transmitted from Bombay in 1927. This broadcast initiated a new era of mass communication in the country.</p>
  3599. <h3>Birth of Indian Radio</h3>
  3600. <p>The day recalls the formation of the <strong>Indian Broadcasting Company</strong> in 1927, which pioneered scheduled radio broadcasts. Just a few years later, the government took over the service, eventually establishing <strong>All India Radio (AIR)</strong> in 1936, later rebranded as <strong>Akashvani</strong> in 1956.</p>
  3601. <h3>Legacy Over Nine Decades</h3>
  3602. <p>The Free Press Journal notes that as of 2025, the FM service is 48 years old, Akashvani is 69, and National Broadcasting Day celebrates 98 years since 1927. Today, AIR’s domestic network includes over 470 stations, reaching 92% of India’s geography and 99.2% of the population in 23 languages.</p>
  3603. <h3>From Radio to the Digital Age</h3>
  3604. <p>According to Daily Excelsior, broadcasting has evolved from basic radio to FM, TV, and digital platforms infused with AI. Notably, DD Kisan now employs AI news anchors, reflecting broadcasting’s adaptability in today&#8217;s high-tech landscape.</p>
  3605. <h3>Importance of the Day</h3>
  3606. <ul>
  3607. <li>Recognises radio&#8217;s role in connecting remote communities.</li>
  3608. <li>Honours broadcasters who shaped public discourse.</li>
  3609. <li>Reflects on broadcasting&#8217;s evolution amid technological advances.</li>
  3610. </ul>

  3655. <h2>Gill Lodges Spirit-of-Cricket Complaint before Fourth Test at Manchester</h2>
  3656. <p>India captain <strong>Shubman Gill</strong> has taken a strong stand, accusing England of breaching the “<em>Spirit of Cricket</em>” following instances in the third Test. His comments come ahead of the pivotal fourth Test at <strong>Old Trafford, Manchester</strong>, which begins on <strong>July 23</strong>.</p>
  3657. <h3>Controversy That Sparked the Complaint</h3>
  3658. <p>Gill alleged that England’s openers were &#8220;90 seconds late to the crease&#8221; on the final day at Lord’s, which he described as “not something that comes in the spirit of the game.” He noted a pattern of minor delays and unsporting behavior, suggesting the actions were deliberate.</p>
  3659. <h3>Team News and Debut Watch</h3>
  3660. <p>In injury updates, fast bowler <strong>Akash Deep</strong> is out of the Manchester Test due to a groin issue. All-rounder <strong>Anshul Kamboj</strong> has been named as a top contender for his debut. Gill explained that Kamboj and Prasidh Krishna are under consideration for the final seam-bowling spot.</p>
  3661. <h3>Series Context &amp; Fourth Test Stakes</h3>
  3662. <p>The series currently stands at <strong>2–1 in England’s favor</strong>. This fourth Test is a must-win for India to stay alive, while a win for England would seal the series. With weather expected to be overcast, the conditions favor bowlers, adding pressure on India’s lineup and bolstering England’s seam-friendly attack.</p>
  3663. <h3>Rising Tensions &amp; The Spirit Debate</h3>
  3664. <p>Gill’s pointed remarks reflect growing frustration within the Indian camp. England captain Ben Stokes has promised his side won’t back down but will remain within the rules. The “Bazball” strategy of aggressive cricket has added to the rivalry, and the upcoming Test promises to be high on both skill and emotion.</p>
  3665. <p>The stage is set for a gripping Old Trafford showdown—with national pride, series outcome, and cricketing ethos all hanging in the balance.</p>

  3792. <h2>Indian Air Force to Retire MiG‑21 Jets and Replace With Tejas Mk1A by September 2025</h2>
  3793. <p>The Indian Air Force has announced plans to phase out its remaining MiG‑21 fighter jets by <strong>September 2025</strong>. After serving for more than six decades, the iconic “flying coffin” will be replaced by the modern, indigenously developed <strong>Tejas LCA Mark 1A</strong> aircraft.</p>
  3794. <h3>End of a Supersonic Era</h3>
  3795. <p>First inducted in <strong>1963</strong>, the MiG‑21 was India’s first supersonic jet and served in conflicts including the 1965 and 1971 Indo‑Pak wars, the Kargil conflict, and the 2019 Balakot strikes. Despite its legacy, the aircraft earned a grim reputation due to safety concerns and accident rates, earning the nickname “flying coffin”.</p>
  3796. <h3>Transition to Tejas Mk1A</h3>
  3797. <p>An estimated <strong>36 MiG‑21 jets</strong> remain in service, primarily within squadrons stationed at Rajasthan’s Nal Air Force Station. These will be gradually replaced by <strong>Tejas LCA Mk1A</strong>, offering advanced avionics, AESA radar, improved safety features, and reduced maintenance demands.</p>
  3798. <h3>The Transition Timeline</h3>
  3799. <p>The IAF will complete the fleet’s retirement by September, marking a final era of MiG‑21 operations—including ceremonial farewell events. Meanwhile, Tejas Mk1A induction continues, with six aircraft expected by March 2026, and further deliveries under an already approved ₹1.15 lakh crore contract.</p>
  3800. <h3>Modernising the Combat Fleet</h3>
  3801. <p>With the MiG‑21 retired, the IAF&#8217;s total squadron strength will reach its lowest since the 1960s, around <strong>29 squadrons</strong>. The induction of Tejas supports India&#8217;s broader indigenous modernization efforts and serves as a bridge to future platforms, such as the LCA Mk2 and the next-generation AMCA.</p>
  3802. <p>This transition underscores a pivotal shift in India’s defence strategy—moving away from ageing Soviet-era assets towards a modern, self-reliant aerospace capability.</p>

  3960. <h2>ISRO and NASA Prepare for Historic NISAR Launch on July 30</h2>
  3961. <p>The NASA–ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (<strong>NISAR</strong>) mission is set to blast off on <strong>July 30, 2025</strong>, aboard an ISRO GSLV‑F16 rocket from the <strong>Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota</strong>. Today, ISRO and NASA confirmed the lift-off time at <strong>17:40 IST</strong> and outlined its groundbreaking dual-frequency radar capabilities.</p>
  3962. <h3>Revolutionary Dual-Frequency Radar</h3>
  3963. <p>Weighing approximately <strong>2,392 kg</strong>, NISAR carries both L-band (NASA) and S-band (ISRO) Synthetic Aperture Radar systems using a 12‑meter deployable mesh reflector. It will map the globe every <strong>12 days</strong>, day and night, penetrating clouds and darkness to monitor changes in glaciers, earthquakes, vegetation, sea level, and soil moisture with unprecedented precision.</p>
  3964. <h3>Transformative Applications for Earth Science</h3>
  3965. <p>The mission will provide critical data for <strong>disaster response, environmental monitoring, and climate change research.</strong> With high-resolution 3D mapping, NISAR is expected to aid scientific understanding of ecosystems, infrastructure shifts, volcanic activity, and polar ice dynamics. All data will be made publicly available immediately or within hours during emergencies.</p>
  3966. <h3>Milestone in India‑US Collaboration</h3>
  3967. <p>Valued at USD 1.5 billion, NISAR represents the most complex joint satellite mission ever undertaken by NASA and ISRO. It marks a major milestone in international space cooperation, combining each agency’s technological strengths in radar imaging.</p>
  3968. <h3>Countdown to Launch</h3>
  3969. <p>The satellite will launch aboard <strong>GSLV‑F16</strong>, injecting it into a <strong>743 km Sun-synchronous orbit</strong> at an inclination of approximately 98.5°. Following a few years of delay to complete assembly and testing, the mission now enters its final pre-launch stage.</p>
  3970. <p>The NISAR mission is poised to redefine Earth observation satellite capabilities and bolster international scientific efforts to monitor and protect our planet.</p>

  4166. <h2>SEBI and NSE Introduce Centralised Compliance Reporting Platform</h2>
  4167. <p>The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), in collaboration with stock exchanges, has launched a unified compliance reporting platform called <strong>Samuhik Prativedan Manch</strong>. Managed by the National Stock Exchange, this portal will allow stock brokers to submit compliance reports to a single interface instead of multiple exchanges.</p>
  4168. <h3>Streamlining Broker Compliance</h3>
  4169. <p>Under the current system, brokers registered with more than one exchange must duplicate submissions. From <strong>August 1, 2025</strong>, the new platform will eliminate redundant reporting, beginning with 40 compliance forms. This is expected to benefit approximately <strong>990 multi-exchange brokers</strong>, reducing administrative burden and costs</p>
  4170. <h3>Phased Rollout Strategy</h3>
  4171. <p>Samuhik Prativedan Manch will roll out in phases. The first phase includes 40 compliance reports, with future phases set to onboard more reporting categories and extend coverage to commodity brokers. SEBI emphasises that this phased approach ensures smooth transition and robust adoption across the industry.</p>
  4172. <h3>Fostering Ease of Doing Business</h3>
  4173. <p>SEBI states that the platform is part of its ongoing effort to promote regulatory simplicity, transparency, and cost-efficiency. The move aligns with broader goals of enhancing ease of doing business for intermediaries and improving investor experience through streamlined regulations.</p>
  4174. <h3>Looking Ahead</h3>
  4175. <p>As the platform expands, brokers can expect further simplification in compliance workflows. SEBI will continue to monitor implementation stages and expand the system to cover broader reporting domains, including commodity markets.</p>

  4218. <h2>NESTS and Avanti Fellows Join Hands to Empower Tribal Students</h2>
  4219. <p>On July 21, 2025, the <strong>National Education Society for Tribal Students (NESTS)</strong> signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with <strong>Avanti Fellows</strong> to provide structured coaching support for <strong>JEE Main/Advanced</strong> and <strong>NEET</strong> entrance exams. This landmark initiative aims to boost inclusive education and empower students from <strong>Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRSs)</strong> across India.</p>
  4220. <h3>Five-Year Agreement to Begin in Academic Year 2025–26</h3>
  4221. <p>The MoU is valid for five years and kicks off from the academic year 2025–26. This partnership seeks to close the educational gap for tribal students, enabling their access to top-tier coaching for India&#8217;s most competitive entrance exams.</p>
  4222. <h3>First Center of Excellence at EMRS Bhopal</h3>
  4223. <p>The first <strong>Center of Excellence (CoE)</strong> will be set up at <strong>EMRS Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh</strong>, catering to 80 selected students. These students will be admitted based on a rigorous entrance exam. In the coming years, similar CoEs are planned for various states to scale the program nationally.</p>
  4224. <h3>About the Partnership</h3>
  4225. <p><strong>Avanti Fellows</strong> is a public charitable trust recognized for its grassroots academic interventions. Through this tie-up, EMRS students will receive not only academic coaching but also mentorship, study planning, and exam strategies tailored for IIT-JEE and NEET aspirants.</p>
  4226. <h3>A Step Towards Educational Equity</h3>
  4227. <p>This collaboration is a significant step forward in making quality education accessible to marginalized communities. By giving tribal youth the tools and confidence to crack national-level exams, the program hopes to create long-term societal impact and a more inclusive nation.</p>

  4323. <h2>Air India Flight AI2744 Overshoots Runway on Landing in Mumbai</h2>
  4324. <p>An Air India Airbus A320, operating as flight AI2744 from Kochi to Mumbai, veered off the runway during landing at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Monday morning, July 21, amid heavy rainfall.</p>
  4325. <h3>What Happened During Landing</h3>
  4326. <p>The aircraft touched down on runway 09/27 around 09:27 local time, but skidded off due to waterlogging and low visibility. Three tyres burst in the process, and the main runway suffered minor damage. The secondary runway 14/32 was activated to maintain ongoing operations.</p>
  4327. <h3>Passenger Safety and Response</h3>
  4328. <p>All crew and passengers disembarked safely from the aircraft, which later taxied to the terminal gate. No injuries were reported. Emergency response teams were deployed immediately following the incident.</p>
  4329. <h3>Aircraft Status and Investigation</h3>
  4330. <p>The aircraft was grounded for inspection. Initial checks revealed damage to at least one of its engines. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched a probe, and Air India confirmed its full cooperation, emphasizing passenger safety as its top priority.</p>
  4331. <h3>Wider Airport Operations</h3>
  4332. <p>Runway 09/27 remained closed briefly for maintenance and repair. Mumbai airport operations were switched to the secondary runway to reduce disruption. Airline schedules faced some delays during the inspection period.</p>
  4333. <p>This event has renewed attention on Mumbai’s monsoon-season readiness and cthe auses of runway excursions. Aviation experts note that waterlogged runways, combined with reduced friction during wet landings, increase the risk of such incidents.</p>

  4488. <h2>ICC Awards England Hosting Rights for Next Three World Test Championship Finals</h2>
  4489. <p>Cricket fans in England have reason to celebrate: the International Cricket Council has confirmed that the next three World Test Championship finals, scheduled for 2027, 2029, and 2031, will all be held in England. The decision came during the ICC’s annual conference in Singapore.</p>
  4490. <h3>Proven Host with Global Appeal</h3>
  4491. <p>The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) won the rights based on its strong record of organising major cricket finals. Since its inception, every WTC final has taken place in England—initially at Southampton, then twice in London. The 2025 final at Lord’s drew record attendance and wide global viewing, reinforcing England’s position as the ideal venue.</p>
  4492. <h3>Venues Under Consideration</h3>
  4493. <p>While exact locations for each final are yet to be confirmed, Lord’s is the front‑runner, with earlier finals held at The Rose Bowl in Southampton and The Oval in London. A similar rotation or repeat at Lord’s is likely for the upcoming editions.</p>
  4494. <h3>Why England Was Chosen Again</h3>
  4495. <ul>
  4496. <li>England hosted the 2025 final at Lord’s, attended by over 109,000 fans and 225 million digital viewers.</li>
  4497. <li>ICC officials highlighted the public’s passion and international fan support during the finals.</li>
  4498. <li>Despite interest from other cricket boards like the BCCI, the ICC opted to back the ECB’s proven track record.</li>
  4499. </ul>
  4500. <h3>Looking Ahead to 2027 and Beyond</h3>
  4501. <p>With the venues set, England can now plan for the high-profile finals in 2027, 2029, and 2031. These events will coincide with key Test series visits and international schedules, including a potential Ashes tour during the 2027 final.</p>
  4502. <p>Beyond hosting, the ICC is exploring the expansion of the World Test Championship structure, including a proposed two‑division format for Test cricket starting in 2027—but these changes won’t affect the location of the upcoming finals.</p>

  4546. <h2>India Falls Short in Semis but Clinches Bronze in Mixed Team Event</h2>
  4547. <p>India’s mixed badminton team earned a historic bronze medal at the FISU World University Games in Rhine-Ruhr, Germany. Despite a 1–3 semifinal loss to Chinese Taipei, the team secured its first-ever podium finish in the sport at the Games.</p>
  4548. <h3>Semifinal Overview</h3>
  4549. <p>The semifinal tie ended 3–1 in favour of Chinese Taipei. India’s only victory came from Devika Sihag, who overcame Taiwan’s Huang Ching Ping in the women’s singles. The other three matches—men’s singles, men’s doubles, and women’s doubles—were lost, sealing India’s semifinal exit.</p>
  4550. <h3>Historic Achievement</h3>
  4551. <p>This accomplishment marks India’s first medal in badminton since the sport was added to the World University Games in 2007, and the bronze stands as their first team medal in this event.</p>
  4552. <h3>Road to Semis</h3>
  4553. <p>Earlier in the tournament, India advanced to the quarterfinals and defeated Malaysia to guarantee at least a bronze medal. A semifinal encounter with Chinese Taipei followed, ultimately deciding their final place.</p>
  4554. <h3>Key Player Performance</h3>
  4555. <p>Devika Sihag played a pivotal role, securing victory in the women’s singles with straight sets — a bright spot in India’s outing.</p>
  4556. <h3>What’s Next for Team India?</h3>
  4557. <p>The mixed team bronze adds to India’s medal tally and highlights progress in university-level badminton. Athletes, including Sathish Kumar Karunakaran and Devika Sihag, will look to build on this performance in upcoming events.</p>

  4931. <h2><strong>A Green Milestone in Public Transport</strong></h2>
  4932. <p>On July 19, 2025, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, with Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited, inaugurated India’s first **on-route solar EV charging station** for AMTS buses at RTO Circle. Powered by a 120‑kW solar setup and equipped with high-capacity chargers (240 kW &amp; 180 kW), the station can serve **40–45 buses daily** using clean energy.</p>
  4933. <h2><strong>Fuel &amp; Emission Savings</strong></h2>
  4934. <p>Traditionally, AMTS buses often traveled empty to distant depots to recharge—costing the city around ₹60 lakh annually in extra mileage. The new station ensures on-route top-ups, translating to estimated savings of **₹1 crore per year**, along with a significant reduction in carbon emissions.</p>
  4935. <h2><strong>Scalable &amp; Sustainable</strong></h2>
  4936. <p>The project forms part of Phase 2 of the CAPACITIES initiative, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. Beyond the RTO station, similar solar charging units are planned across other locations, including Naranpura and Vastral. AMC targets a rollout of **34 solar-powered EV stations citywide**, aligning with its broader green transport goals.</p>
  4937. <h2><strong>Integrating Urban Eco Projects</strong></h2>
  4938. <p>Managed by AMC’s Air Quality Management Cell, this initiative complements a suite of green projects—urban forests, CNG crematorium furnaces, mechanical parking, and bus electrification (200 BRTS buses already supported). The solar depot is the latest step toward reducing Ahmedabad’s urban carbon footprint.</p>
  4939. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  4940. <p>Ahmedabad’s new on-route solar charging station sets a national precedent—demonstrating how renewable energy can efficiently power public transport. With robust emissions savings and public benefit, it&#8217;s a model for sustainable urban mobility nationwide.</p>

  4973. <h2><strong>Pre-Feasibility Study Underway</strong></h2>
  4974. <p>India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has initiated a pre-feasibility study to explore the construction of a **new refinery** in **Jamnagar, Gujarat**, with a proposed capacity of **200,000–240,000 barrels per day (bpd)**. This development aligns with India’s ambition to become a global refining powerhouse.</p>
  4975. <h2><strong>Strategic Significance</strong></h2>
  4976. <ul>
  4977. <li>India ranks as the **third-largest oil importer and consumer globally**, and expanding refining capacity is critical.</li>
  4978. <li>Jamnagar is already home to the world&#8217;s largest private refinery complex; this project would further cement its status as a refining hub.</li>
  4979. </ul>
  4980. <h2><strong>Investment and Timeline</strong></h2>
  4981. <p>The proposed refinery represents a significant downstream investment, with estimates ranging from ₹1.25 to ₹1.5 lakh crore. Since the project is still in the feasibility stage, formal announcements and project-specific timelines have not yet been released.</p>
  4982. <h2><strong>Broader National Agenda</strong></h2>
  4983. <p>This potential project dovetails with India’s broader energy strategy to scale up refining and ensure self-reliance. ONGC’s exploration for a new unit in Jamnagar is consistent with policy goals.</p>
  4984. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  4985. <p>ONGC’s pre-feasibility for a new 200–240 kbpd Jamnagar refinery signifies a major step toward scaling India’s refining capabilities. While still early-stage, this initiative could play a pivotal role in strengthening the nation’s energy infrastructure and position on the global refining map.</p>

  5071. <h2><strong>Bombay HC Questions Legal Standing in PIL</strong></h2>
  5072. <p>The Bombay High Court has dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by a group of Pune-based advocates against luxury brand Prada. The petition had claimed that Prada’s Milan Fashion Week sandals closely resembled the traditional Kolhapuri chappals, protected under the Geographical Indications (GI) law. However, the court ruled that the petitioners lacked the legal standing to file such a case.</p>
  5073. <h2><strong>Only GI Holders Can Challenge</strong></h2>
  5074. <p>The court noted that only officially recognized GI holders or associations directly impacted by infringement can initiate such legal actions. It pointed out that the proper course of action would have been through the GI proprietors or artisan associations registered under GI protections for Kolhapuri footwear.</p>
  5075. <h2><strong>Cultural Concerns Acknowledged</strong></h2>
  5076. <p>Though the PIL raised concerns about cultural appropriation and threats to artisan livelihoods, the court clarified that legal redress must follow the process laid out in the GI Act. The judges acknowledged the emotional weight of the issue but remained firm on the need for procedural legitimacy.</p>
  5077. <h2><strong>What Happens Next?</strong></h2>
  5078. <p>While the petition has been dismissed, the spotlight now shifts to the GI proprietors, such as state agencies or artisan unions. If they feel Prada’s designs truly infringe on the GI of Kolhapuri chappals, they may initiate formal legal proceedings through the appropriate channel.</p>
  5079. <h2><strong>Final Take</strong></h2>
  5080. <p>The case serves as a reminder of how legal protections for cultural symbols like GI-tagged products are structured. While emotional and cultural concerns hold weight, they must be raised through the right legal forums. The Bombay High Court’s dismissal reflects a firm interpretation of GI law while urging rightful parties to act.</p>

  5120. <h2><strong>Bridge Under Repair: Ban Starts July 16</strong></h2>
  5121. <p>Authorities have banned **heavy vehicles**, including state transport and AMTS buses, from using the **25-year-old Khoraj–Adalaj Narmada Canal bridge** (chainage 239.021 km) in Gandhinagar. The ban is in effect from **July 16 to September 13, 2025**, to prevent further damage ahead of scheduled repair work.</p>
  5122. <h2><strong>Safety Comes First</strong></h2>
  5123. <p>Structural concerns were flagged by the Narmada Project Main Canal Division–2 after a routine inspection. To safeguard public safety and ensure repair integrity, officials have directed that no heavy vehicles be permitted on this vital canal crossing during the repair period.</p>
  5124. <h2><strong>Alternative Routes Advised</strong></h2>
  5125. <p>Motorists, including public transport operators, have been advised to use the **Sarkhej–Gandhinagar highway** as an alternate route until repairs are complete, avoiding disruption and ensuring smoother commutes.</p>
  5126. <h2><strong>Broader Canal Bridge Safety Drive</strong></h2>
  5127. <p>This action follows a wider safety inspection campaign across Gujarat’s canal network. The campaign led to **five canal bridges being fully closed**, **four others banned for heavy vehicles**, and **36 flagged for urgent repairs**—a proactive measure after the recent Gambhira bridge collapse.</p>
  5128. <h2><strong>Why This Matters</strong></h2>
  5129. <ul>
  5130. <li><strong>Public safety:</strong> Heavy vehicle traffic can worsen structural faults in aging bridges.</li>
  5131. <li><strong>Timely repairs:</strong> Preventing new damage lets repair teams work faster and more efficiently.</li>
  5132. <li><strong>Minimized disruption:</strong> Designated alternate routes ensure daily travel continues smoothly.</li>
  5133. </ul>
  5134. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  5135. <p>The heavy vehicle ban on the Khoraj–Adalaj bridge is a precautionary yet necessary step to ensure safety and maintain canal infrastructure health. Other structurally compromised bridges across the Narmada canal are also under repair or restriction. Motorists are urged to follow the recommended detours and drive safely during this period.</p>

  5168. <h2><strong>76% Stretch Already Operational</strong></h2>
  5169. <p>As of July 12, 2025, around **123 km out of the 161 km Vadodara–Surat section** of the **Delhi–Mumbai Expressway** is open to traffic. This includes completed stretches from Vadodara up to Bharuch (Packages 1–3) and the recently opened Kim–Ena segment (Package 6) in one direction due to NH‑48 bridge repairs.</p>
  5170. <h2><strong>Package 5: Remaining Bottleneck</strong></h2>
  5171. <p>The stretch between **Ankleshwar and Kim Interchange (Package 5)** remains unfinished and is currently the only segment blocking full connectivity on this route. Heavy monsoon conditions have slowed construction.</p>
  5172. <h2><strong>Expected Timeline &amp; Inauguration</strong></h2>
  5173. <p>Construction activity is ongoing, and with favorable post-monsoon progress, officials suggest the section may be inaugurated by **Diwali 2025** or by the end of the year.</p>
  5174. <h2><strong>Why This Section Matters</strong></h2>
  5175. <ul>
  5176. <li><strong>Regional Relief:</strong> Once complete, it will dramatically cut travel time between Vadodara and Surat.</li>
  5177. <li><strong>Enhanced Connectivity:</strong> This eight-lane expressway is part of a major corridor linking Delhi and Mumbai.</li>
  5178. <li><strong>Economic Boost:</strong> The full route will improve logistics, trade, and travel across five states.</li>
  5179. </ul>
  5180. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  5181. <p>Progress on the **Vadodara–Surat section** is encouraging, with over three-quarters of the route functional. Now, all eyes are on **Package 5** as authorities aim for a smooth completion post-monsoon, targeting a Diwali launch. This corridor will soon offer seamless, high-speed connectivity across the heart of Western India.</p>

  5537. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>A Royal Politician Takes Raj Bhavan, Goa</strong></h2>
  5538. <p>Pusapati Ashok Gajapathi Raju, a senior Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader and former Union Civil Aviation Minister, has been appointed as the **Governor of Goa**. The announcement was made on **July 14, 2025**, following a Presidential order from Droupadi Murmu and countersigned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s coalition government.</p>
  5539. <h2><strong>Breaking Tradition: First NDA Ally Outside BJP</strong></h2>
  5540. <p>This marks a rare move by the BJP-led NDA, appointing a non‑BJP ally to a gubernatorial post. Political analysts interpret it as a strategic gesture to reinforce alliance ties with regional parties such as the TDP — signaling outreach beyond the core party base.</p>
  5541. <h2><strong>Rich Heritage Meets Public Service</strong></h2>
  5542. <p>Hailing from the royal Pusapati family of Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, Raju’s lineage resonates with heritage and statesmanship. His political journey spans decades: six-time MLA, former state finance minister, and Union Civil Aviation Minister from 2014 to 2018, where he championed initiatives like UDAN and India’s first no-fly list.</p>
  5543. <h2><strong>Reactions &amp; Local Response</strong></h2>
  5544. <p>Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu celebrated it as “a proud moment for our people,” welcoming the decision as recognition of Raju’s longstanding service. Goa’s current Chief Minister, Pramod Sawant, issued an X (Twitter) statement expressing eagerness to work closely with the new Governor for the state’s continued development.</p>
  5545. <h2><strong>What to Watch Next</strong></h2>
  5546. <ul>
  5547. <li><strong>Oath-taking Ceremony:</strong> Scheduled in Goa in the coming days.</li>
  5548. <li><strong>Policy Signal:</strong> Raju’s alignment may suggest coalition-friendly moves ahead.</li>
  5549. <li><strong>Governance Role:</strong> As Chancellor of Goa University and head of state bodies, his influence will be significant.</li>
  5550. </ul>
  5551. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  5552. <p>The appointment of Ashok Gajapathi Raju as Goa Governor blends political strategy, royal tradition, and coalition diplomacy. It stands as a testament to the NDA’s broader alliance-building ahead of future electoral and governance challenges.</p>

  5763. <p>India’s dream of high-speed rail travel took a giant leap forward with the completion of the first section of the <strong>21 km undersea tunnel</strong> for the <strong>Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train</strong> project. This key portion, between <strong>Ghansoli and Shilphata</strong> in Maharashtra, is a vital component of the upcoming 508 km high-speed corridor.</p>
  5764. <h2>Japan–India Partnership Brings E10 Shinkansen to India</h2>
  5765. <p>As part of the India–Japan strategic alliance, <strong>E10 Shinkansen trains</strong>—the next-generation of Japan’s iconic bullet trains—will debut in India alongside their launch in Japan. These trains represent cutting-edge advancements in speed, safety, and reliability.</p>
  5766. <h3>Entire Corridor Powered by Japanese Tech</h3>
  5767. <p>The full <strong>508 km Mumbai–Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR)</strong> corridor is being developed using <strong>Japanese Shinkansen technology</strong>, making it India’s first truly world-class bullet train system.</p>
  5768. <h2>Massive Construction Progress</h2>
  5769. <p>Construction work is progressing rapidly. So far, <strong>310 km of viaducts</strong> have been completed, <strong>15 river bridges</strong> are ready, and <strong>4 more are nearing completion</strong>. Out of the planned 12 stations, 5 are complete, and 3 are close to finalization.</p>

  5771. <h3>Engineering Feat: BKC Underground Station</h3>
  5772. <p>One of the highlights is the <strong>Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) underground station</strong>, located 32.5 meters below ground. The foundation is designed to support a 95-meter tall skyscraper above, showcasing a marvel of modern engineering.</p>
  5773. <h2>Future-Ready Corridors Ahead</h2>
  5774. <p>The success of the MAHSR project is laying the foundation for <strong>future bullet train corridors across India</strong>. Plans are underway to replicate this model in other major regions, taking India&#8217;s railway infrastructure to global standards.</p>
  5775. <p>This remarkable achievement reinforces India’s ability to adopt and execute complex infrastructure using <strong>next-gen international technologies</strong> in collaboration with global partners like Japan.</p>

  5823. <p>In a remarkable boost to India&#8217;s agri-export economy, <strong>Gujarat has achieved a record-breaking 48.59 lakh tons of potato production</strong> in 2024–25, solidifying its status as the country’s leading producer of <strong>processed-grade potatoes</strong> used in French fries, wafers, and frozen snacks.</p>
  5824. <h2>Banaskantha Leads the Charge</h2>
  5825. <p><strong>Banaskantha district alone contributed 18.70 lakh tons</strong>, marking the highest production in the state. With a cultivated area of 61,016 hectares and an average productivity of 30.65 tons per hectare, Banaskantha topped the state charts, followed closely by Sabarkantha and Aravalli districts.</p>
  5826. <h2>10X Growth in Two Decades</h2>
  5827. <p>In 2004–05, Gujarat&#8217;s processed potato output was less than 1 lakh ton with just 4,000 hectares under cultivation. Today, the area under cultivation has expanded to 37,000 hectares, producing <strong>11.5 lakh tons of processed-grade potatoes</strong>. Gujarat has now surpassed Uttar Pradesh and Punjab in this segment.</p>
  5828. <h2>Global Demand for Gujarat’s Crisp Potatoes</h2>
  5829. <p>The state&#8217;s north—thanks to favorable soil, climate, and advanced storage—has become a hub for <strong>Lady Rosetta, Kufri Chipsona, and Santana</strong> varieties. These are in high demand by <strong>QSR chains like McDonald’s, Burger King, and Domino’s</strong> as well as international frozen food markets, particularly in the Middle East.</p>
  5830. <h2>Support from the Government and Industry</h2>
  5831. <p>Thanks to initiatives under <strong>PM Narendra Modi’s vision for value-added agriculture</strong> and the leadership of CM Bhupendra Patel, Gujarat’s agricultural policies and backing from the <strong>Gujarat Agro Industries Corporation</strong> have empowered farmers to focus on high-yield, export-grade produce.</p>
  5832. <p><strong>Gujarat now not only meets India&#8217;s French fries and wafer demand but is also a major exporter of processed potatoes globally.</strong></p>

  5913. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">In a major step to bolster security, </span><strong style="font-size: 16px;">Indian Railways</strong><span style="font-size: 16px;"> has announced the installation of </span><strong style="font-size: 16px;">CCTV cameras in all 74,000 coaches and 15,000 locomotives</strong><span style="font-size: 16px;">. This initiative follows successful trials in Northern Railway and aims to deter criminal activity while enhancing the safety of millions of daily passengers.</span></p>
  5914. <div>
  5915. <h2>Widespread Installation Across All Coaches and Locos</h2>
  5916. <p>Each railway coach will be equipped with <strong>four dome-type CCTV cameras</strong>—two near each entrance. Additionally, every locomotive will feature <strong>six cameras</strong>, strategically placed to cover front, rear, and side views. Each cab will also include <strong>desk-mounted microphones</strong> to aid in real-time audio monitoring.</p>
  5917. <h2>High-Tech Surveillance with AI Integration</h2>
  5918. <p>The Ministry confirmed that the CCTV systems will be <strong>STQC-certified</strong> and designed for <strong>high-speed functionality (over 100 kmph)</strong> and <strong>low-light visibility</strong>. Railways is also exploring <strong>AI-powered analytics</strong> under the <em>IndiaAI Mission</em> to enhance incident detection, behavior analysis, and emergency response.</p>
  5919. <h2>Focus on Passenger Privacy</h2>
  5920. <p>The surveillance will be limited to <strong>common movement areas near doors</strong> to respect privacy. The data will assist in identifying miscreants and organized criminal activity while upholding the dignity and safety of travelers.</p>
  5921. <h2>Ministers Review Progress</h2>
  5922. <p>Railways Minister <strong>Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw</strong> and MoS <strong>Shri Ravneet Singh Bittu</strong> recently reviewed the progress of this rollout in a high-level meeting. They emphasized the use of <strong>best-in-class equipment</strong> and urged officials to expedite the project across all zones.</p>
  5923. <p>This modernization reflects the Indian Railways’ growing commitment to providing <strong>a secure, technologically advanced, and commuter-friendly experience</strong>.</p>

  6047. <p>In a remarkable event at Raj Bhavan, <strong>Gujarat Governor Shri Acharya Devvrat</strong> launched the 17-volume spiritual anthology <strong>&#8220;Ved Manjusha&#8221;</strong>, published by Neeta Prakashan. The mega collection includes <strong>20,348 Vedic hymns</strong>, meticulously translated into <strong>Sanskrit, Hindi, and English</strong>, making them accessible to a global audience.</p>
  6048. <h2>18 Years of Tireless Effort</h2>
  6049. <p>Esteemed academician and retired professor of Delhi University, <strong>Dr. Puran Chand Tandon</strong>, undertook the monumental task of translating and simplifying the Vedic scriptures. The work took nearly <strong>18 years</strong> to complete and presents not just translations, but meanings and summaries of each hymn to ensure understanding by readers of all backgrounds.</p>
  6050. <h2>Governor’s Reflections on the Vedas</h2>
  6051. <p>During the ceremony, Shri Acharya Devvrat remarked that the <strong>Vedas are divine knowledge gifted to mankind</strong>, not authored by any individual. He emphasized that the Vedas form the root of all sciences and that reconnecting with them is crucial for spiritual and cultural revival.</p>
  6052. <h3>Tribute to Swami Dayanand Saraswati</h3>
  6053. <p>The Governor acknowledged <strong>Swami Dayanand Saraswati’s role</strong> in reviving Vedic knowledge, particularly in Gujarat. He mentioned that without such reformers, the Vedas might have remained obscured under centuries of neglect.</p>
  6054. <h2>Legacy of Radheyshyam Gupta</h2>
  6055. <p>The inspiration behind &#8220;Ved Manjusha&#8221; came from late <strong>Radheyshyam Gupta</strong>, founder of Neeta Prakashan. His daughter-in-law Smt. Shanti Deviji and son Shri Rakesh Gupta fulfilled his dream of spreading Vedic wisdom across generations. The Governor honored both Shri Gupta and Dr. Tandon for their spiritual and academic contributions.</p>
  6056. <p>The book is expected to gain international reach and give the world a glimpse of <strong>India’s glorious cultural heritage</strong>.</p>

  6219. <p>Once a toxic legacy dumpsite, the Kuberpur landfill in Agra has now emerged as India’s first <strong>Integrated Waste Management City</strong> under the <strong>Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban (SBM-U)</strong>. What was once a hazardous expanse is now a national model of sustainability, powered by bioremediation, biomining, and zero-waste innovation.</p>
  6220. <h2>A Journey from Decay to Development</h2>
  6221. <p>The Kuberpur site had served as a landfill since 2007, accommodating thousands of tons of municipal solid waste. But in 2019, guided by Hon&#8217;ble PM Shri Narendra Modi and CM Shri Yogi Adityanath, the Agra Municipal Corporation initiated a bioremediation and biomining campaign with technical collaboration from SPAAK Super Infra Pvt. Ltd.</p>
  6222. <p>In just five years, this initiative removed nearly <strong>1.9 million metric tons of waste</strong>, reclaiming <strong>47 acres</strong> of valuable urban land—of which:</p>
  6223. <ul>
  6224. <li><strong>10 acres</strong> have been turned into an urban forest using the Miyawaki method</li>
  6225. <li><strong>5 acres</strong> are now a modern sanitary landfill for inert waste</li>
  6226. <li>The remaining land has been landscaped into an <strong>eco-friendly zone</strong></li>
  6227. </ul>
  6228. <h2>Infrastructure That Powers Sustainability</h2>
  6229. <p>The transformation included the installation of:</p>
  6230. <ul>
  6231. <li>A <strong>500 TPD waste-to-compost plant</strong></li>
  6232. <li><strong>Four Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs)</strong> with a total capacity of 405 TPD</li>
  6233. <li><strong>65 TPD Plastic Waste Processing Plant</strong> converting plastic into water pipes for farmers</li>
  6234. <li><strong>100% door-to-door waste segregation and collection</strong> across the city</li>
  6235. </ul>
  6236. <h3>Cost and Impact</h3>
  6237. <p>The entire project was completed at an estimated cost of ₹320 crore. Today, Kuberpur is no longer a dumping ground but a beacon of modern waste governance, environmental conservation, and civic engagement.</p>
  6238. <h2>More Than Just a Waste Project</h2>
  6239. <p>Beyond solid waste solutions, the Kuberpur site has been developed into a <strong>learning and awareness hub</strong>—hosting students, researchers, and environmental professionals from IITs, colleges, and institutions nationwide.</p>
  6240. <p>This holistic approach to urban transformation has made Agra a shining example of what SBM-U 2.0 envisions: a clean, green, inclusive, and sustainable India.</p>

  6361. <p>As the sacred full moon of Ashadha illuminated the evening sky, the spiritual grounds of <strong>Sarnath</strong> witnessed a grand celebration of <strong>Ashadha Purnima</strong>—marking <strong>Dhammachakra Pravartana Divas</strong>, the day when Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon after enlightenment.</p>
  6362. <p>The commemoration was organized by the <strong>International Buddhist Confederation (IBC)</strong> in association with the <strong>Ministry of Culture</strong> and the <strong>Mahabodhi Society of India</strong>. The event was held at the <strong>Mulagandha Kuti Vihara</strong> in Sarnath, attracting esteemed monks, scholars, and devotees from around the world.</p>
  6363. <h2>Highlights of the Ashadha Purnima Programme</h2>
  6364. <p>The event began with a silent and reverent <strong>parikrama (circumambulation)</strong> around the historic <strong>Dhamek Stupa</strong>, as monks and laypersons paid homage to the Buddha’s teachings. The stupa stood glowing in the twilight, symbolizing the eternal truth of Dhamma.</p>
  6365. <p>Ven. Summitananda Thero opened the formal session with a welcome address, followed by heartfelt remarks from <strong>Ven. Dieu Tri</strong> of Vietnam, who shared insights from the recent <em>Buddha Relic Exposition,</em> where over 17.8 million Vietnamese devotees paid homage.</p>
  6366. <h2>Wisdom and Harmony Through Global Buddhist Participation</h2>
  6367. <p>Ven. Wangchuk Dorjee Negi, Vice Chancellor of the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies, emphasized the deep harmony between Dharma practice and knowledge. He noted how Ashadha Purnima connects key moments of Buddha’s life—his conception, first sermon, and the establishment of the monastic Sangha.</p>
  6368. <p>Most Ven. Sumedha Thero from Sri Lanka highlighted the spiritual ties between India and Sri Lanka, expressing gratitude for India&#8217;s commitment to Buddhist heritage and interfaith unity.</p>
  6369. <h2>Conclusion: Reaffirming the Buddha&#8217;s Universal Message</h2>
  6370. <p>Shartse Khensur Jangchup Choeden Rinpoche, IBC Secretary General, concluded the event with a call for global unity and interfaith dialogue to build a peaceful world rooted in compassion. A vote of thanks by <strong>Ven. Seelawanso Thero</strong> rounded off the evening, echoing the collective reverence of the gathering.</p>
  6371. <p><strong>Ashadha Purnima 2025 reaffirmed the relevance of Buddha&#8217;s teachings in today’s world, calling all to walk the path of mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom.</strong></p>

  6481. <h2><strong>NBEMS Issues Urgent Advisory Against Fake Messages</strong></h2>
  6482. <p>The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has released a timely advisory on July 10, 2025, warning NEET‑PG 2025 aspirants of fraudulent communications circulating via SMS, emails, and social media. These fake notices have falsely claimed exam postponements, leaked question papers, or guaranteed admission—leading to confusion and panic among students. You can read the official advisory <a href="https://natboard.edu.in/viewNotice.php?NBE=SnlyT2N0V0MwR2RkcXFVdWJwTjRBdz09" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on the NBEMS website here</a>.</p>
  6483. <h2><strong>Official Channels to Trust</strong></h2>
  6484. <p>NBEMS clarified that the only authentic sources of communication are its official websites—natboard.edu.in and nbe.edu.in—and its sole verified WhatsApp channel. The board does not use any Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), or YouTube pages. Candidates are advised to ignore all other media and avoid clicking suspicious links.</p>
  6485. <h2><strong>QR‑Code Verification Now Required</strong></h2>
  6486. <p>All genuine notices released by NBEMS since July 2020 include a QR code that, when scanned, links directly to the official notice on their website. Any message lacking this unique identifier should be treated as fraudulent. This measure is aimed at curbing the spread of false information and protecting candidate interests.</p>
  6487. <h2><strong>How to Stay Safe from Scams</strong></h2>
  6488. <ul>
  6489. <li>Check for the QR code before trusting any NBEMS notice.</li>
  6490. <li>Always download information directly from natboard.edu.in or nbe.edu.in.</li>
  6491. <li>Reject SMS or emails promising leaked papers or certainty of marks.</li>
  6492. <li>Report suspicious messages to NBEMS via their official channels or local authorities.</li>
  6493. </ul>
  6494. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  6495. <p>With the NEET‑PG 2025 exam approaching, staying alert to misinformation is crucial. NBEMS’s advisory is a necessary step in safeguarding candidates from scams. Rely only on verified notices, check QR codes, and avoid unofficial sources. For accurate updates on exam dates, admit cards, or results, always refer to the official NBEMS websites.</p>

  6605. <h2>India&#8217;s Vision for Hydrocarbon Exploration</h2>
  6606. <p>At the 9th OPEC International Seminar in Vienna, Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, highlighted India’s dynamic push towards hydrocarbon exploration. Under the OALP Round-10, a vast area of 2.5 lakh sq km has been opened up, with ambitious targets to expand this to 0.5 million sq km by 2025 and 1 million sq km by 2030. This expansion is backed by progressive policy reforms and major initiatives like the National Seismic Program and Mission Anveshan.</p>
  6607. <h2>From Guyana-Scale Discoveries to Policy Overhaul</h2>
  6608. <p>India is inching closer to a significant oilfield discovery in the Andaman Sea, with exploration now powered by the Revenue Sharing Model under the Hydrocarbon Exploration and Licensing Policy (HELP). Reducing &#8216;No-Go&#8217; zones by 99% and streamlining the Oilfields Regulation &#038; Development Act (ORD Act) of 1948 are key moves that have unlocked over 1 million sq km for exploration.</p>
  6609. <h2>India’s Role in Global Energy Stability</h2>
  6610. <p>As the third-largest energy consumer globally, India’s daily demand is around 5.4 million barrels. The country is set to account for nearly 25% of the incremental global energy demand in the coming years. India is actively diversifying crude imports from 27 to 40 countries, boosting domestic production, and aiming to become a global refining hub with a 310 MMTPA capacity by 2028.</p>
  6611. <h2>Net Zero by 2070: The Clean Transition</h2>
  6612. <p>Shri Puri reaffirmed India’s commitment to achieving energy independence by 2047 and Net Zero emissions by 2070. The path includes increasing biofuel adoption and pushing toward a gas-based economy. The government has created a supportive policy landscape to develop sustainable aviation fuel, biodiesel, and ethanol-blended petrol.</p>
  6613. <h2>Strengthening Global Partnerships via Biofuels</h2>
  6614. <p>India’s leadership in the Global Biofuels Alliance now includes 29 countries and 14 international organizations. Domestically, there is an aggressive push to scale up ethanol, CBG, and SAF. These efforts align with India&#8217;s belief that the energy transition must be equitable, inclusive, and focused on development with dignity—especially for the Global South.</p>
  6615. <h2>Impact of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana</h2>
  6616. <p>India’s clean cooking movement under PMUY has distributed over 103 million LPG connections to women from weaker economic backgrounds. This initiative drastically improved energy access and public health, raising national LPG coverage from 55% in 2014 to near-universal levels today.</p>
  6617. <h2>Affordable Energy Despite Global Crisis</h2>
  6618. <p>Despite a 58% surge in global LPG prices, Indian households continue to benefit from subsidies and support by oil marketing companies. PMUY beneficiaries now pay around $6–7 per cylinder, nearly 39% less than mid-2023 prices, thanks to government and corporate efforts to shield consumers.</p>
  6619. <h2>Why This Matters</h2>
  6620. <p>India is not only scaling up infrastructure but also integrating sustainability and economic inclusion into its energy strategy. With robust planning, international collaborations, and social focus, India is setting a benchmark in managing energy transition while ensuring affordability, access, and long-term energy security.</p>
  6621. <h2>Helpful Resources</h2>

  6629. <p>India&#8217;s presentation at the 9th OPEC International Seminar was not just an announcement—it was a declaration of purpose. As the country pushes boundaries in exploration, transitions toward clean energy, and ensures no citizen is left behind, it’s clear that India is leading a model of sustainable and inclusive energy growth.

This specialized warship is equipped to undertake complex <strong>Deep Sea Diving and Rescue Operations</strong>, a niche capability held by only a few navies worldwide.</p>
  6678. <p>The name “Nistar” is derived from Sanskrit and translates to <strong>liberation, rescue, or salvation</strong> — perfectly echoing the vessel’s primary purpose. Measuring 118 meters in length and weighing approximately 10,000 tons, the vessel integrates cutting-edge technologies for underwater missions.</p>
  6679. <p>Among its notable features, Nistar can perform <strong>Saturation Diving up to 300 meters</strong> deep and utilize a <strong>Side Diving Stage</strong> for operations up to 75 meters. Additionally, the vessel has been designed to act as the <strong>‘Mother Ship’ for the Deep Submergence Rescue Vessel (DSRV)</strong>, making it indispensable during submarine rescue scenarios.</p>
  6680. <p>To enhance rescue and salvage operations, the ship comes equipped with advanced <strong>Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs)</strong> capable of operating at depths of up to 1000 meters. These technologies are crucial for diver monitoring, deep-sea recovery, and emergency evacuations.</p>
  6681. <p>The successful delivery of <strong>Nistar</strong> with nearly <strong>75% indigenous components</strong> not only demonstrates the technological capabilities of Indian shipyards but also aligns perfectly with the Government of India’s ambitious <strong>Aatmanirbhar Bharat</strong> and <strong>Make in India</strong> initiatives. It reaffirms India&#8217;s commitment to strengthening its naval infrastructure with homegrown innovation and resilience.</p>
  6682. <h2>Why Nistar is a Game Changer for India</h2>
  6683. <p>The induction of <strong>Nistar</strong> significantly enhances the Indian Navy’s capability in underwater operations, strategic support, and disaster response. It closes a critical capability gap and positions India alongside elite maritime forces with specialized deep-sea support assets.</p>

  6767. <h2>Keel Laying Ceremony Held at L&#038;T Shipyard</h2>
  6768. <p>On July 9, 2025, the Indian Navy achieved a key milestone with the keel laying of its third Fleet Support Ship (FSS) at the L&#038;T Shipyard in Kattupalli. The event was graced by Vice Admiral Rajaram Swaminathan, Controller Warship Production &#038; Acquisition, along with other senior officials from the Indian Navy, Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL), and L&#038;T.</p>
  6769. <h2>Strategic Contract with Hindustan Shipyard Limited</h2>
  6770. <p>In August 2023, the Indian Navy signed a strategic contract with HSL for the acquisition of five advanced Fleet Support Ships. These vessels are expected to begin deliveries by mid-2027, bolstering India&#8217;s maritime logistics and defence capabilities in the Indian Ocean Region.</p>
  6771. <h2>Public-Private Collaboration in Indian Shipbuilding</h2>
  6772. <p>To ensure timely construction and leverage India&#8217;s shipbuilding capacity, HSL has subcontracted the building of two FSS vessels to L&#038;T’s Kattupalli shipyard. This move highlights a growing and effective partnership between India’s public and private sectors under the Make in India initiative.</p>
  6773. <h2>Enhancing Blue Water Naval Capability</h2>
  6774. <p>The Fleet Support Ships will be vital in supporting India’s blue water naval operations. With a displacement of over 40,000 tons, each vessel will carry fuel, water, ammunition, and essential stores, enabling the Indian Navy to operate further from home shores for longer periods.</p>
  6775. <h2>Support for Humanitarian and Disaster Relief</h2>
  6776. <p>Besides their primary role of replenishment at sea, the FSS vessels are equipped for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) missions. They will aid in evacuating civilians and delivering critical supplies during emergencies such as natural disasters.</p>
  6777. <h2>Indigenous Design and Self-Reliance Push</h2>
  6778. <p>These Fleet Support Ships are not only built in India but also integrate a wide array of indigenous systems and equipment. The initiative strongly aligns with national missions like Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make for the World, fostering innovation and capacity-building in India’s defence sector.</p>
  6779. <h2>Conclusion</h2>
  6780. <p>With the keel now laid for the third FSS, the Indian Navy is taking confident strides toward expanding its operational endurance and humanitarian reach. The integration of public and private shipbuilding efforts is not only accelerating progress but also strengthening the nation’s defence ecosystem.</p>

  6889. <h2>India’s Agricultural Export Vision: A ₹20 Lakh Crore Goal</h2>
  6890. <p>Union Minister Piyush Goyal announced a bold vision for India’s agricultural future—expanding exports from ₹4.5 lakh crore to a massive ₹20 lakh crore. This transformation, he noted, hinges on improvements in food processing, branding, and packaging. With focused strategies, India is positioned to become a major global supplier of high-quality farm produce.</p>
  6891. <h2>Non-Traditional Produce Finds Global Markets</h2>
  6892. <p>India&#8217;s agricultural export basket is diversifying rapidly. Crops like jamun, pineapple, and litchi, which were traditionally grown for domestic consumption, are now being exported to markets in the UK, Doha, Dubai, and other Gulf nations. These niche exports not only reflect India&#8217;s agri-diversity but also open new economic avenues for farmers.</p>
  6893. <h2>Millets, Organic Produce, and Blockchain-Based Certification</h2>
  6894. <p>Thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s push during the International Year of Millets, traditional Indian grains are now gaining global attention. Shri Goyal also emphasized the government&#8217;s move towards promoting organic farming with stricter blockchain-backed certification. This will enhance global trust in Indian organic produce, ensuring traceability and quality compliance.</p>
  6895. <h2>Mass Movement for Drip Irrigation</h2>
  6896. <p>Drip irrigation has been highlighted as a vital reform to make Indian agriculture climate-resilient. Shri Goyal called for a nationwide adoption of water-saving methods, including creating village-level water bodies and promoting smart pumps that can be operated via mobile phones. This is expected to reduce over-irrigation and lower input costs.</p>
  6897. <h2>Technology for Sustainable Growth</h2>
  6898. <p>Smart, energy-efficient pumps and sensor-based irrigation technologies are being promoted to reduce electricity usage and water wastage. These measures directly benefit farmers by lowering costs and improving productivity. Shri Goyal stressed the need for resilient supply chains across seeds, fertilisers, and equipment to future-proof Indian farming.</p>
  6899. <h2>Women Empowerment Through ‘Drone Didi’ Initiative</h2>
  6900. <p>A key highlight of the speech was the &#8216;Drone Didi&#8217; programme, under which 1.5 lakh women have been trained to use drones for spraying fertilisers. This initiative empowers rural women while promoting precision farming. Additionally, efforts are being made to boost intercropping, floriculture, and horticulture practices across the country.</p>
  6901. <h2>Export Infrastructure and Farmer Support Initiatives</h2>
  6902. <p>The government has strengthened over 1,400 mandis via the e-NAM platform to enable better price discovery. A ₹1 lakh crore Agriculture Infrastructure Fund has also been launched to support logistics and storage needs. Farmer Producer Organisations are being mobilised for easier access to mechanisation and funding.</p>
  6903. <h2>Collaborative Growth Model: Farmers, Entrepreneurs &#038; Government</h2>
  6904. <p>Shri Goyal urged collaboration between agriculture entrepreneurs and farmers. With dedicated support for product design, packaging, and logistics, India&#8217;s farm exports can scale sustainably. Initiatives like the Turmeric Board and rising coffee exports were cited as successful examples of this synergy.</p>
  6905. <h2>Conclusion: From Local to Global—India’s Agri Story Evolves</h2>
  6906. <p>From Jamun in UK stores to blockchain-backed organic grains in EU markets, Indian agriculture is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Through targeted reforms, technology, and market access, the country is not just aiming for self-sufficiency but also global competitiveness.</p>

  6954. <h2>Spiritual Event ‘Vande Somnath’ Announced</h2>
  6955. <p>Gujarat is gearing up for a spiritually enriching experience with the launch of the <strong>‘Vande Somnath’</strong> program. Starting from the first Monday of the Shravan month, a series of cultural-spiritual events will be hosted every Monday at the historic Somnath Temple. The initiative aims to create a devotional ambiance infused with the richness of India&#8217;s traditional performing arts.</p>
  6956. <h2>Divine Depictions of Lord Shiva</h2>
  6957. <p>The program will feature mesmerizing performances by renowned artists portraying various forms of Lord Shiva, including <strong>Rudra</strong>, <strong>Yogi</strong>, <strong>Nataraj</strong>, and <strong>Somnath</strong>. These thematic showcases will merge bhakti (devotion) with classical expressions like dance, drama, and music to offer a soul-stirring experience for all devotees.</p>
  6958. <h2>Organizers and Support</h2>
  6959. <p>This initiative is a collaborative effort between the <strong>Gujarat Tourism Department</strong>, <strong>Somnath Trust</strong>, and the <strong>Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts</strong>. Together, they aim to promote religious tourism and celebrate Gujarat’s vibrant spiritual culture during the auspicious month of Shravan.</p>
  6960. <h2>Special AC Bus Service for Devotees</h2>
  6961. <p>To ease travel for visitors, a special AC Volvo bus service will operate every Monday from various parts of the state to Somnath Temple. Devotees can book these buses in advance and participate in the serene atmosphere of the Vande Somnath program without hassle.</p>
  6962. <h2>Why This Matters</h2>
  6963. <p>Initiatives like Vande Somnath not only uplift the spiritual fabric of the state but also enhance tourism by connecting art, devotion, and cultural values. With a devotional theme rooted in Gujarat&#8217;s heritage, this event is expected to attract thousands of pilgrims and art lovers alike.</p>
  6964. <h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
  6965. <p>The Vande Somnath initiative is more than a cultural show—it&#8217;s a divine offering to Lord Shiva and a spiritual retreat for all who participate. If you’re seeking devotion wrapped in art, this Shravan, Somnath awaits you with open arms.</p>

These updates reflect the impact of recent Test performances on global standings.</p>

  7228. <p>Since the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on July 1, 2017, Gujarat has emerged as one of the most efficient and transparent states in terms of tax collection and economic management. The GST system eliminated multiple overlapping taxes like VAT, CST, octroi, and excise duties, making tax calculation and filing more accessible to businesses and consumers alike.</p>
  7229. <p>In FY 2024–25, Gujarat recorded an impressive ₹1,36,748 crore in total GST revenue, registering a year-on-year increase of ₹11,579 crore. With this figure, Gujarat stands third nationwide in state-wise GST contributions and holds an 8.2% share in India&#8217;s domestic GST collections.</p>
  7230. <p>Gujarat also showed a remarkable increase in the number of registered taxpayers—from 5.15 lakh at the time of GST implementation to over 12.46 lakh in 2024–25. This 145% growth positions the state as third in the country for the number of GST registrants and highlights its expanding economic activity and taxpayer discipline.</p>
  7231. <p>In terms of SGST and IGST collections, Gujarat earned ₹73,200 crore in FY 2024–25, up ₹8,752 crore from the previous year. The state recorded a 13.6% growth in these categories, well above the national average of 10.31%, indicating a robust and consistent economic performance.</p>
  7232. <p>Gujarat also led the country in the number of e-way bills generated, with over 13.98 crore bills created by suppliers in 2024–25. The state ranks first in supplier-based e-way bill generation, second in bill value, and third in total bill count nationally—underscoring its digital adoption and logistic transparency.</p>
  7233. <p>On the compliance front, Gujarat’s performance in GST return filing is equally commendable. It achieved an 88.9% compliance rate for GSTR-3B returns and 85.5% for GSTR-1 returns, placing it among the top-performing states in the country.</p>
  7234. <p>Moreover, Gujarat ranks second in the country on the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for GST implementation, with 71.69 points. It secured the top spot in 9 out of 22 metrics, just behind Maharashtra, which scored 73.93.</p>
  7235. <p><strong>By simplifying taxation, boosting transparency, and leading in digital tax administration, Gujarat has laid a strong foundation for inclusive and sustainable economic development.</strong></p>

  7284. <p>The Gujarat government has taken a progressive step to simplify the learning license process for citizens. Starting from July 7, 2025, applicants across the state can now apply for learning licenses through a &#8220;faceless, Aadhaar-based e-KYC system&#8221;, eliminating the need to physically visit the RTO in most cases.</p>
  7285. <p>According to the announcement from the Office of the Commissioner of Transport, the new system allows applicants to complete their application entirely online, using Aadhaar authentication. This digital upgrade makes it more convenient, faster, and user-friendly, especially for people living in remote or rural areas.</p>
  7286. <p>While the faceless process will serve the majority, applicants who prefer or need to apply offline will still be able to visit RTO, ARTO, ITI, or Polytechnic offices for document verification and driving test procedures. The dual-mode approach ensures inclusivity and accessibility for all segments of society.</p>
  7287. <p>The move aligns with the state’s larger mission to provide smart governance and reduce the administrative burden on both citizens and departments. By digitizing key transport services, Gujarat continues to lead in e-Governance innovation.</p>
  7288. <p><strong>Citizens can now apply for their learning licenses from the comfort of their homes without standing in long queues—making the process smoother, quicker, and more efficient.</strong></p>

  7392. <p>Gujarat has become the first state in India to take the lead in the national <strong>Cruise Tourism Mission</strong>, leveraging its 2,340 km long coastline to promote cruise tourism and unlock new economic opportunities. Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, the state is actively shaping national cruise policy and infrastructure planning.</p>
  7393. <p>As part of this initiative, the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) organized a one-day workshop on May 6, bringing together key stakeholders. The workshop focused on forming a framework for Gujarat’s cruise shipping policy aligned with the national agenda. Officials including Captain Banshiwa Ladwa and GMB CEO Shri Rajkumar Beniwal (IAS) highlighted Gujarat&#8217;s growing maritime potential and the emerging economic prospects in cruise tourism.</p>
  7394. <p>During the workshop, discussions covered policy frameworks, infrastructure upgrades, immigration, and efficient coastal operations. Leaders from Mumbai Port, Cochin FRRO, and Goa International Cruise Terminal offered strategic insights. Gujarat Tourism MD Sufi Saidingpuii Chhakchhuak (IAS) presented plans to develop cruise-ready tourist destinations, while IPS officer Shri Krishnaraj R. stressed the need for digital immigration systems.</p>
  7395. <p>Chief Secretary of Ports and Transport, Shri Ashwini Kumar, reaffirmed Gujarat&#8217;s commitment to becoming a leading cruise tourism hub. He stated that Gujarat’s accessibility, port infrastructure, and policy drive serve as a model for other Indian states aiming for coastal tourism excellence.</p>
  7396. <p>Key cruise circuit proposals include Diu, Veraval, Porbandar, Dwarka, Jamnagar, Okha, and Paddala Island, organized in three clusters:</p>
  7397. <ul>
  7398. <li>Paddala Island – Rann of Kutch</li>
  7399. <li>Porbandar – Veraval – Diu</li>
  7400. <li>Dwarka – Okha – Jamnagar</li>
  7401. </ul>
  7402. <p>  Each cluster focuses on offering rich religious, natural, and cultural attractions within a 100 km radius.</p>
  7403. <p>Gujarat is also set to contribute significantly to the national mission by planning a dedicated cruise terminal. As other major ports like Mumbai, Kochi, Chennai, and Mormugao are already advancing cruise infrastructure, Gujarat aims to join this momentum and expand India’s presence in global cruise tourism.</p>
  7404. <p>This workshop and strategic planning mark a key milestone. With clear vision, robust support, and coordinated execution, Gujarat is poised to become a frontrunner in India’s cruise tourism landscape.</p>

  7504. <p>In a remarkable advancement in quantum technology, scientists from the Raman Research Institute (RRI) have developed a new quantum magnetometry technique that can measure magnetic fields in real-world environments—without the need for bulky magnetic shielding. The breakthrough has major implications for medical imaging, geophysics, space exploration, and quantum sensing.</p>
  7505. <p>Using a method called <strong>Raman-Driven Spin Noise Spectroscopy (RDSNS)</strong>, the researchers built a compact, all-optical magnetometer capable of operating with high sensitivity in the presence of environmental noise. Unlike traditional magnetometers, which require silent labs and complex shielding, this device can be used in hospitals, factories, mines, or even in orbit.</p>
  7506. <p>The RDSNS technique involves analyzing the quantum “jitters” or spin noise of Rubidium atoms when exposed to a magnetic field. By shining lasers and reading the response of the atoms, the team was able to detect magnetic field strengths accurately without disturbing the atoms. The system achieved a sensitivity of 30 picotesla per root hertz at 100 Hz—matching the performance of many large lab-based systems.</p>
  7507. <p>What makes the device revolutionary is its large dynamic range, compact design, and resistance to electrical and mechanical interference. This allows for precise magnetic field measurements across a wide range—from extremely weak to very strong fields—making it adaptable for applications in medicine, deep-earth exploration, and space missions.</p>
  7508. <p>Lead researcher Sayari, a PhD student, highlighted that this innovation successfully breaks the long-standing trade-off between sensitivity and dynamic range in magnetometry. Their work, supported by India’s <strong>National Quantum Mission</strong>, was recently published in the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement journal.</p>
  7509. <p>Looking ahead, the RRI team plans to integrate squeezed light and MEMS-based miniaturization to make the device even more efficient and portable. Their ultimate goal is to use this technology to explore deeper quantum phenomena and create field-deployable quantum sensors capable of unlocking new scientific and industrial frontiers.</p>
  7510. <p>According to Dr. Saptarishi Chaudhuri, head of the QuMIX lab at RRI, “Our approach reflects India’s growing ambition in the global quantum technology race.” This innovation positions India among the frontrunners in developing next-generation quantum sensing tools.</p>

  7715. <p>In a significant step toward enhancing indigenous defence capabilities, the Indian Navy has successfully conducted user trials of the Extended Range Anti-Submarine Rocket (ERASR) from <strong>INS Kavaratti</strong>. These trials, held between June 23 and July 07, 2025, marked a key milestone in India’s anti-submarine warfare preparedness.</p>
  7716. <p>ERASR is a completely indigenous anti-submarine rocket designed by DRDO’s Armament Research &#038; Development Establishment (ARDE), Pune, in collaboration with the High Energy Materials Research Laboratory and the Naval Science &#038; Technological Laboratory. Specifically designed to be launched from the Indian Navy’s Indigenous Rocket Launcher (IRL) systems, the ERASR features a twin-rocket motor configuration that supports a wide range of operational distances with high accuracy and consistency.</p>
  7717. <p>The trials included a total of 17 rockets, all of which were successfully tested at various ranges. Key performance metrics such as range capability, electronic time fuze accuracy, and warhead effectiveness were fully achieved, confirming the system’s operational readiness. Notably, the ERASR uses an indigenously developed Electronic Time Fuze, showcasing India&#8217;s self-reliance in advanced military technology.</p>
  7718. <p>Production partners Bharat Dynamics Limited (Hyderabad) and Solar Defence &#038; Aerospace Limited (Nagpur) played crucial roles in the development of this system. With trials now completed, the Indian Navy is expected to induct the ERASR into its arsenal, bolstering its undersea strike capability.</p>
  7719. <p>Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh congratulated DRDO, the Indian Navy, and the involved industry partners for this accomplishment. He emphasized that the induction of ERASR will significantly enhance the Navy’s combat strength. Dr. Samir V. Kamat, Secretary of Defence R&#038;D and Chairman of DRDO, also lauded the teams behind the successful development and trials.</p>
  7720. <p>The ERASR programme not only reinforces India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) mission but also strengthens national security by equipping the Navy with next-generation anti-submarine warfare capabilities.</p>

  7800. <h2><strong>Sabih Khan Succeeds Jeff Williams as Apple COO</strong></h2>
  7801. <p>Apple has officially named <strong>Sabih Khan</strong> as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO), with the leadership transition set to take place later this month. Khan will succeed Jeff Williams, who is set to retire after decades of service. This long-planned succession underlines Apple’s confidence in Khan’s capabilities, especially at a time when operational resilience is more critical than ever.</p>
  7802. <h2><strong>Long-Served Veteran with Deep Supply Chain Expertise</strong></h2>
  7803. <p>Sabih Khan has been with Apple since 1995, steadily rising through the ranks. In 2019, he was promoted to Senior Vice President of Operations. Over the years, he has overseen the development of Apple’s global supply chain and played a major role in sustainability initiatives. Tim Cook praised him as a “brilliant strategist” who helped reduce Apple’s carbon footprint by 60% and led several U.S. manufacturing expansions.</p>
  7804. <h2><strong>Strategic Continuity and Operational Resilience</strong></h2>
  7805. <p>Khan’s appointment comes at a time when Apple is looking to diversify its manufacturing operations, especially outside China. As trade tensions grow globally, his leadership is expected to support the company’s shift toward new production hubs like India and Vietnam. His operational experience also makes him ideal for navigating global logistics challenges.</p>
  7806. <h2><strong>Design Oversight Shifts to CEO</strong></h2>
  7807. <p>After Jeff Williams’ departure, Apple’s design and health divisions — previously under his leadership — will now report directly to CEO Tim Cook. This streamlines Apple&#8217;s executive structure and signifies more centralized control over design innovation and user health technologies.</p>
  7808. <h2><strong>What This Means for Apple</strong></h2>
  7809. <ul>
  7810. <li><strong>Supply Chain Resilience:</strong> Khan will likely drive diversification away from China, boosting regional manufacturing.</li>
  7811. <li><strong>Green Operations:</strong> His history with Apple’s environmental efforts points to increased focus on sustainability.</li>
  7812. <li><strong>Investor Confidence:</strong> With a seasoned executive taking over, shareholders can expect continuity in quality and delivery.</li>
  7813. </ul>
  7814. <h2><strong>Final Word</strong></h2>
  7815. <p>Sabih Khan’s appointment as COO marks a milestone in Apple’s leadership history. His deep understanding of Apple’s supply chain, combined with a focus on sustainability, places the company in capable hands. With Tim Cook retaining control over design, and Khan handling operations, Apple seems ready for its next era of growth and innovation.</p>

  7850. <p>On July 9, 2025, the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) launched the 100th birth anniversary celebrations of <strong>Guru Dutt</strong> at Triveni Kala Sangam, highlighting his influential legacy in Indian cinema.

  7851. <h2><strong>Life &#038; Early Years</strong></h2>

  7854. <p>Guru Dutt was renowned for his mastery of mood, composition, and melancholy. His directorial works, including <em>Pyaasa</em> (1957) and <em>Kaagaz Ke Phool</em> (1959), are regarded among the best in Hindi cinema. <em>Pyaasa</em> was featured in Time magazine’s 100 greatest films. Despite initial criticism for <em>Kaagaz Ke Phool</em>, its reputation soared internationally during the 1980s.</p>
  7855. <h2><strong>Centenary Tributes &#038; Legacy</strong></h2>
  7856. <p>FTII and cultural organizations across India are hosting retrospectives, film appreciation courses, and panel discussions. Guru Dutt is often remembered as “the man behind the melancholy,” whose approach to music and emotion continues to inspire filmmakers.</p>
  7857. <h2><strong>Unfinished Dreams</strong></h2>
  7858. <p>Guru Dutt died tragically on October 10, 1964, at age 39. Projects like <em>Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi</em> remained incomplete, while discussions around his first-cousin ties to artists like Waheeda Rehman remain part of Bollywood lore.</p>
