Assam's bamboo economy creating jobs, boosting entrepreneurship: Himanta Sarma
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 18 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, on Friday highlighted the growing role of bamboo in creating employment opportunities, promoting entrepreneurship and supporting sustainable economic development across the state on the occasion of World Bamboo Day. In a post on X, Sarma said bamboo was emerging as an important resource for Assam, contributing to the development of new industries and generating opportunities for people across different sectors. From everyday products to new industries, Assams bamboo is creating new opportunities for our people, the Chief Minister said. Marking World Bamboo Day, Sarma emphasised the contribution of bamboo to skill development, livelihoods and entrepreneurship, while underlining its potential to support sustainable growth in the state. On World Bamboo Day, we celebrate how bamboo is driving skills, livelihoods, entrepreneurship and new avenues for sustainable growth across Assam, he posted. The Chief Minister's remarks come amid efforts to promote the economic potential of bamboo, a widely available natural resource in Assam and other parts of the Northeast. Bamboo has applications across several sectors, including handicrafts, furniture, construction, food processing and other value-added products. Its use in diverse industries offers opportunities for local artisans, entrepreneurs and communities to develop new sources of income. The promotion of bamboo-based enterprises can also support value addition, enabling producers to move beyond the sale of raw materials and explore finished products with greater commercial potential. Assam's rich natural resources and traditional knowledge associated with bamboo provide a foundation for developing businesses that connect local skills with emerging market opportunities. Sarma's World Bamboo Day message focussed on the role of the sector in strengthening livelihoods and encouraging sustainable economic activity. The Chief Minister also underlined the wider significance of bamboo-driven growth, linking the resource to skills, entrepreneurship and new avenues of opportunity for the people of Assam. With bamboo continuing to feature in discussions on sustainable industries and rural economic development, its potential to support local enterprises and employment remains a key area of focus.

India climbs five places to 26th in global real estate transparency: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) India has climbed five places to 26th rank in a global transparency index, marking the country among the top five mostimproved markets worldwide and the umber one improver in Asia Pacific, a report said on Friday. The report from JLL cited its Global Real Estate Transparency Index (GRETI), showing that the rise places India firmly within the middle of the Transparent tier and reflects steady gains across regulatory, transaction and sustainability measures. Our steady progress - fourth-best globally over 10 years and third-best over 20 years - positions India to enter the Highly Transparent tier as we advance toward aligning with the world's most transparent markets, said Radha Dhir, Chief Executive Officer, India, JLL. The next chapter is about scale - extending what is working in our gateway markets to every market where global capital wants to invest, she added. The country's improved transparency has coincided with record-breaking investment activity. Private equity investment reached $10.5 billion in 2025, up 17 per cent yearonyear, and $4.3 billion in the first half of 2026, up 25 per cent. Indias office REIT market expanded significantly from 104 million sq. ft in 2024 to 164 million sq. ft in 2026, with nearly half of Grade A office stock now REIT-worthy. The country achieved its strongest gain in regulatory & legal parameters, surging from 37th to 19th globally, driven by RERA maturation, FDI liberalisation, and digitised land registries. Data centre capacity is projected to grow from 1.6 GW to 6 GW by 2029, requiring USD 110 billion investment, with global hyperscalers committing over USD 50 billion toward AI-ready facilities. The BSE Realty Index and India REIT Index have become essential benchmarks for investors, while quarterly financial reporting and annual disclosure standards have solidified across REITs and publicly traded flexible space operators, broadening transparency across the sector, the report noted. The country maintained its strong position in the Transaction Process parameter, ranking 10th globally and 3rd in Asia Pacific. Data on commercial real estate financing conditions has become more available and reliable, driven by growing institutional investment, REIT market expansion, and a stringent regulatory environment.

Russia's wartime economy faces strain from debt, military spending
The frictions in Russia's wartime economy are growing, as massive military spending balloons the budget deficit. Consumers and businesses are gloomier. Growth has slowed. None of that, however, signals an imminent financial crisis or economic collapse, economists say. With crucial oil export revenues holding up due to high prices from the Iran war, the government is able to find the money to pay for its four-and-a-half-year-old invasion of Ukraine, at least for now. Meanwhile, low unemployment and government largesse in poor regions help keep a lid on consumer grumbling. That picture suits the Kremlin's narrative of stability ahead of Russia's stage-managed parliamentary election that got underway Friday and concludes Sunday. But economists warn that longer-term problems are gnawing at the foundations - and could one day result in a crisis. Consumers and businesses are more pessimistic --------------------------------------------------------- Indicators of consumer sentiment hav

Teach judgement, not just AI: CEA
Artificial intelligence could pose a fundamental challenge to management education over the next two to three decades by automating the entry-level work through which young professionals traditionally develop experience and judgement, Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran said on Thursday.Addressing the 16th Indian Management Conclave (IMC 2026) in Noida, Nageswaran said business schools would need to rethink their approach to AI rather than simply adding technology-focused courses to existing curricula.Also Read: 'Indian economy more likely to be resilient rather than becoming more vulnerable': CEA V. Anantha NageswaranAdding one AI elective will not be enough, he said, stressing the need for management institutions to focus on teaching judgement.The manager's core tool is a clear and patient mind. That tool is under attack before the students even reach the campuses. So these are India's real challenges over the next 20 to 30 years, Nageswaran said.He said AI was increasingly capable of performing routine and codified tasks, raising concerns about what happens to the early-career roles that have traditionally served as training grounds for young professionals.The trouble is AI now precisely does this junior work. The bottom rungs of the ladder are being sawn off. The routine tasks that once taught the young their trade are the first to be automated. Think about what this means. For a century, we learn judgement on the job, slowly through apprenticeship...and if AI removes the apprenticeship, where will the next generation of judgement be?\This is not a small problem for management education, it could be the whole problem, he added.Also Read: AI safety: India must keep humans in the loop, prevent exclusion, says CEA NageswaranTeach judgement, not just techniqueNageswaran said the growing ability of AI to handle analytical work would make human judgement increasingly important in management.The parts of management that AI cannot do are exactly the parts that were always the hardest to teach in a classroom, he said.He called on management institutions to shift their emphasis from technical skills alone towards the ability to frame problems, assess information and make decisions.First, teach judgement, not just technique, Nageswaran said.If AI now does the analysis, the scarce skill is knowing which question to ask and whether to trust the answer that comes back. This is judgement. It is taught through cases.Social media and attentionThe CEA also identified social media as another challenge facing young people in India, particularly because of its potential impact on attention and health.That is one more force and this one is closer to home in India. Social media is doing something to our young people. It is fragmenting their attention. It is straining their mental and physical health. The ability to sit with the hard problem to read something long and difficult to think a man, he said.

Rupee rises 16 paise to 95.73 against US dollar during early trade
The rupee rebounded from over two-month low levels, gaining 16 paise to 95.73 against the US dollar in early trade on Friday, buoyed by a buying trend in domestic equity markets and easing crude oil prices overseas.
