PM Modi, Russian President Putin hold key meeting ahead of BRICS Summit
Russian President Vladimir Putin landed in New Delhi early Friday for a three-day visit to participate in the 18th BRICS Summit and meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to expand bilateral trade, investment and energy cooperation.
BRICS explained: What it means, how it started, 2026 theme and why it matters globally

BRICS portal to strengthen agricultural trade, technology
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) A dedicated BRICS Agriculture Portal will be launched soon to strengthen agricultural trade, technology, innovation and collaboration among BRICS countries. This was decided during the session on Promoting Agri Products and Agri-tech Startups in BRICS, chaired by Vikramjit Singh Sahney, BRICS Business Council (India) member. Sahney said that the BRICS Agri Portal will create a common platform connecting farmers, agri-tech startups, researchers, investors and businesses across BRICS countries. It will facilitate greater market access, exchange of technology and best practices, and open new opportunities for agricultural trade and investment. Sahney also emphasised that the BRICS Agri Portal will help facilitate affordable financing for agri-tech machinery and mechanisation for farmers, strengthen the agricultural value chain and promote better post-harvest management and value addition. The portal will also support greater intra-BRICS agricultural trade through cooperation on plant protection and quarantine and harmonisation of standards and protocols. Highlighting BRICS' collective responsibility towards global food security, Sahney said that BRICS accounts for around 42 per cent of global agricultural production and holds about one-third of the world's agricultural land. We must leverage this strength through technology, climate-smart agriculture and stronger cooperation across agricultural value chains. AI, remote sensing, precision farming and digital marketplaces can help farmers increase productivity while using fewer resources and create a more resilient and sustainable food system across BRICS, he added. Agriculture across BRICS countries faces a range of common challenges, including climate change, water scarcity, declining natural resources, unpredictable weather patterns and the need to increase food production. Digital technologies are increasingly being viewed as a tool to help farmers respond to these challenges while improving productivity and resource efficiency. The BRICS Network on Digital Agriculture provides a framework for member countries to exchange experiences and best practices in areas such as precision farming, artificial intelligence, remote sensing, satellite-based monitoring, agricultural data systems, drones, Internet of Things applications and digital advisory services.
India administers over 80 lakh HPV vaccine doses under national campaign since Feb
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) India has crossed a significant milestone in its efforts to prevent cervical cancer, with over 80 lakh doses of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine administered under the National HPV Vaccination Campaign since its launch in February 2026, an official statement said on Friday. Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Mizoram have achieved 100 per cent coverage of their respective identified target populations, the statement from Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said. Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Assam have crossed 90 per cent coverage, while Karnataka has achieved more than 85 per cent coverage. Chhattisgarh, Sikkim, Kerala, Telangana and Odisha have crossed 60 per cent coverage. The nationwide drive, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February 2026, offers voluntary, singledose HPV vaccination free of cost to 14yearold girls at government health facilities with parental consent. As per Registrar General of India (RGI) 2021 estimates, approximately 1.2 crore girls constitute the annual cohort of 14-year-olds who are expected to benefit from the initiative each year. The progress in Assam and other Northeastern States also demonstrated the role of integrated community health networks and coordinated field-level action in expanding access across geographically diverse areas. Healthcare providers, including paediatricians, gynaecologists and experts from institutions such as AIIMS, along with teachers and frontline health workers including ASHAs and ANMs, have supported awareness and mobilisation efforts across states and districts. The campaign has also leveraged Indias digital health infrastructure through the U-WIN platform, enabling programme managers to monitor vaccination coverage at the district level, identify coverage gaps and missed beneficiaries, and support more effective programme planning and resource allocation. Currently, 87 per cent of upper-middle-income countries, 78 per cent of lower-middle-income countries and 54 per cent of low-income countries have adopted HPV vaccines in their National Immunization Programmes. All vaccination sessions under the campaign are conducted under the supervision of trained medical officers at government health facilities. Government health facilities are also linked with 247 healthcare facilities for appropriate management of rare Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI). This mechanism ensures timely assessment, monitoring and management of any vaccination-related adverse event. With the campaign progressing towards its final phase, the focus remains on reaching the remaining eligible beneficiaries and ensuring that no eligible girl is left behind, the ministry said. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare continues to work closely with States and Union Territories, healthcare professionals, frontline health workers and communities to strengthen awareness, facilitate access and support effective implementation of the HPV Vaccination Campaign, the statement noted.

'Focus on winning a gold for India': Wrestler Sunil Kumar ahead of Asian Games after 2022 bronze
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) India's Greco-Roman wrestler Sunil Kumar has set his eyes on the gold medal at the upcoming Asian Games as he looks to go all the way after winning a bronze in Hangzhou 2022. Kumar, who competes in the 87kg category, began his journey in the sport in his village and has now turned out to be one of the top wrestlers in the Indian contingent heading for the Asian Games. I started wrestling in my village, and in the beginning, it was just something I enjoyed doing. But as I grew and started competing, I began to think that I wanted to do something for my country, not just for myself. That thought has stayed with me ever since, and it is what pushes me even today, said Sunil. Kumar has his focus on winning a gold medal as he looks to build on the recent training camp in Uzbekistan. My full focus right now is on winning a gold medal for the country at the Asian Games. Everything I am doing is working towards that one goal. We recently had a training camp in Uzbekistan, and it went very well. The Uzbek wrestlers are very good, and there were a few gold medallists from 2022 training there as well. Training alongside wrestlers of that level pushed all of us to get better, he said. The grappler has had his own share of battles with injuries over the years. He underwent knee surgery last year and admitted that fear of getting hurt never fully goes away for any wrestler, even at his level. However, Kumar also sees this as something that every athlete fears. I had knee surgery last year, so I know what it feels like to go through an injury. The fear of injury is always there at the back of your mind; no wrestler can say that they don't feel it. But if injuries were not a part of this sport, then anyone would have been able to do what we do. Everyone carries a little bit of that fear; it is just part of playing this sport at this level, he said. The Asian Games 2026 remains Kumar's top priority, but he is also keeping an eye on the next phase of his career as he looks for an Olympic qualification next year. Once the Asian Games are done, my preparation for the Olympics will begin properly from 2027, when the qualification events start. That will be the next big target for me, he said. The grappler has also had the backing of the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) for the support that carried him through that period. After my knee surgery, IIS supported me a lot through my rehab. They gave me access to a really good gym and made sure I had everything I needed to recover properly. Because of that support, my comeback went well, and honestly, once I came back from rehabilitation, my body actually felt stronger than it did before the injury, he said.

India moves from technology follower to global player: Dr Jitendra Singh
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) Union MoS Science & Technology Dr Jitendra Singh on Friday said that India is no longer a technology follower but a confident global player and must build resilient value chains for critical minerals, advanced materials by combining domestic resources with global partnerships. Addressing the 3rd Global Summit on Advanced Materials, Critical Minerals, & Metals here, the minister urged early industry linkages to turn research and innovation into commercial success. This would enable research initiatives to remain aligned with market requirements and improve their prospects of becoming commercially viable. A healthy synergy among research, industry, government and the non-government sector is essential for sustaining startups and entrepreneurs, he said. Dr. Singh said critical minerals and metals will be a driving component of the next phase of technological development, with their importance extending beyond mining to energy security, industrial competitiveness and national security. The minister said the global economy is undergoing a paradigm shift, with clean energy, electric mobility, semiconductors, telecommunications, aerospace, defence and nuclear energy emerging as major drivers of technological and industrial transformation. India is now participating in this global discourse with much greater confidence and is preparing to assume a larger global role, he said, adding that changing technological landscape warrants the country to build capabilities across the entire value chain of critical minerals and advanced materialsfrom exploration and extraction to refining, processing, engineering and manufacturing. Domestic resources will have to be combined optimally with international resources, while indigenous technologies and globally competitive benchmarks are developed simultaneously, he added. Dr. Singh said advanced materials and critical minerals require a whole-of-government and whole-of-nation approach, with industry being an integral partner. India has to pursue global strategies and international partnerships while strengthening its domestic technological capabilities, he added. Dr. Singh said advanced materials and critical minerals require a whole-of-government and whole-of-nation approach, with industry being an integral partner.

He invited international investors and industry, including from Canada and other countries, to participate in the opportunities emerging from Indias opening up of the nuclear sector. He said the new framework provides room for foreign collaboration and investment along with greater domestic participation.
'Congress brought the country down, we built it up': BJP
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ravi Shankar Prasad on Friday lashed out at the Congress, accusing it of economically bringing the country down during its tenure at the Centre, while asserting that the Narendra Modi government has enhanced the nation's standing. This comes after senior Congress leader and former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram triggered a row by questioning the tangible economic and strategic benefits India had derived from its participation in BRICS and saying that he had not seen any significant outcomes emerging from the recent meetings of the bloc. Addressing a press conference, the BJP MP cited International Monetary Fund's (IMF) description of India as a key engine of global growth, after the country's economy expanded 7.8 per cent in the second quarter. The IMF released its report today and made a very significant observation about India's growth...The IMF has praised the resilience of the Indian economy and acknowledged the progress India is making in the services sector, manufacturing, trade and other areas, he said. In a veiled attack on Chidambaram, Ravi Shankar Prasad said: The BRICS summit is underway. A large part of the world is in Delhi today. What are Congress leaders saying? What will India get from BRICS? It is necessary to point out what they did when they were in power and what India's position was in BRICS at that time. Remember, in 2011, 2012 and 2013, India's economy was described as one of the 'Fragile Five' by Goldman Sachs... It was also said that investment in India was drying up. The BJP MP also added: During the tenure of former Prime Minister late Manmohan Singh, India's position in BRICS had deteriorated to such an extent that there were calls to remove India and replace it with Indonesia. You (Congress) brought the country down. Today, we have built it up and enhanced its standing. India has emerged as a bright spot within BRICS. He asserted that the world today looks towards India with enthusiasm and confidence, recognising it as a major global economy that contributes to stability in the world economy. This has been possible despite all the challenges, whether it is the energy crisis, problems with global supply chains or the ongoing war and the situation in the Gulf. Despite all these challenges, India's growth rate stands at 7.8 per cent, which the IMF has endorsed, calling it an indication of the resilience of the Indian economy, the BJP MP said.

Captive coal mines register robust output growth in April-September FY27
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) India's captive mines produced 68.98 million tonnes (MT) of coal up to September 10 in the current financial year, up from 65.78 MT in the corresponding period of FY 2025-26, which represents a year-on-year growth of 5 per cent, or an additional 3.2 MT, and this also comes on a base that was itself 10.12 per cent higher than the previous year, the Coal Ministry said on Friday. The gain has been recorded in the first five months of the current financial year, which include the monsoon, when mining and evacuation are at their most difficult, a ministry statement said. Dispatch from captive mines has also been better than the previous year. Captive mines dispatched 75.68 MT against 71.43 MT last year, a growth of 5.94 per cent and an increase of 4.25 MT. Provisional figures indicate the pace is picking up further as the monsoon begins to recede. In the ten days between September 1 and September 10, captive mines produced 4.12 MT and dispatched 4.21 MT. New capacity is being added steadily to this base. Nine captive and commercial mines are expected to commence production during FY 2026-27, with a combined peak rated capacity of 20.67 MT. Three of these, with a peak capacity of 7.51 MT, have already started production during the current year. The remaining six are expected to commence production soon during the year, according to the statement. On this footing, production from captive mines is expected to cross 190 MT in FY 2026-27. Together with commercial mines, the two segments are expected to exceed 228 MT during the current financial year, the statement said. Captive mines have been a mainstay of coal production, and their output has grown steadily, with annual production recording a robust 10.1 per cent rise from 167.44 million tonnes (MT) in FY 2024-25 to 184 MT in FY 2025-26. Along with commercial mines, which produced around 26 MT, the captive and commercial segment together accounted for 210 MT in FY 2025-26 against 190.95 MT the previous year. Captive and commercial mines account for about 21 per cent of total domestic coal production, which stood at 1,039 MT in FY 2025-26 and has remained above one billion tonnes for the second year running. This performance has carried into the current financial year, the statement added.

Satya Niketan collapse: Absconding accused surrenders before Delhi court
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) Advocate Shubham Tyagi, who had been evading arrest in connection with the Satya Niketan building collapse case, surrendered before the Patiala House Court on Friday, a day after the court dismissed his anticipatory bail plea. The Delhi Police has sought two days' custodial interrogation of Tyagi and co-accused Sudhanshu Lovenish Kumar, who is associated with the operation of the paying-guest (PG) facility at the building. The development comes after Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Partap Singh Laler of the Patiala House Court rejected Tyagi's anticipatory bail plea on Thursday, saying that material collected during the investigation prima facie contradicted his claim that he was merely an investor in the PG business. The court had recorded that a separate rent agreement showed Tyagi as a co-lessee of the second and third floors of Building number 14 at Satya Niketan Market in Moti Bagh-II, where the boys' PG was being operated. The building collapse on September 6 had claimed seven lives, including five students and two labourers, while several others sustained injuries. The FIR was registered at South Campus Police Station under Sections 105, 290 and 125(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), initially against unknown accused. The investigation subsequently led to the arrest of building owners Urmila Gupta, Hari Ram Gupta and Mahesh Gupta alias Sanjay, contractor Sanoj and PG operator Sudhanshu Lovenish Kumar. Tyagi had claimed before the court that he was an advocate practising at Patiala House Courts, had no criminal antecedents and was only an investor in the PG business run by his friend Lovenish Kumar. He had contended that he was neither the owner of the building nor had any control or decision-making authority over its structure. However, the prosecution produced a rent agreement dated September 6, 2025, executed between building owner Urmila Gupta and Tyagi for the second and third floors of the building. The court said that the agreement was executed on the same day as another rent agreement relied upon by Tyagi, contained substantially identical terms and was attested by the same notary. It also noted that Tyagi had signed Lovenish Kumar's agreement as a witness and Lovenish Kumar had similarly signed Tyagi's agreement. The court had also relied on the statement of injured PG occupant Nitish Chib, who said that he had taken accommodation from Tyagi and Lovenish Kumar and was paying Rs 14,500 per month. According to the statement, construction work had been underway in the basement for around 10 to 12 days before the collapse, while iron rods were also being cut on the ground floor. The students had objected to the construction noise, following which Tyagi and Lovenish Kumar told them that renovation work was underway and that the PG would be extended to the basement. The court had said that the statements were relevant at the anticipatory bail stage to examine Tyagi's claim that he had no knowledge of the construction activity and was merely involved financially. However, the court had clarified that it was not recording any final finding on whether the offence under Section 105 of the BNS, relating to culpable homicide not amounting to murder, was ultimately made out against Tyagi. It had also said that the investigation was at a nascent stage and that aspects, including the extent of the partnership between Tyagi and Lovenish Kumar, the flow of rent collected from students and their knowledge or consent regarding the structural work required further investigation. The Satya Niketan collapse had also prompted proceedings before the Delhi High Court over alleged regulatory and municipal lapses, with the High Court directing inspections of PG accommodations amid concerns over the safety of such establishments in the national capital. With Tyagi's surrender, the police are now seeking his custodial interrogation along with that of Lovenish Kumar as part of the ongoing investigation.

Of course, we know that economic issues are complex and we need new approaches to reduce totalitarianism and unilateralism in the world. According to Iranian media ISNA, before travelling to India, Pezeshkian, referring to the importance of the BRICS summit, said, Independence, solidarity, sustainability, resistance, and innovation are the slogans of the summit, and economic, financial, industrial, and trade issues will be discussed at this summit. A special bank has been formed within the BRICS framework, and we are going to see investment from countries so that interactions between countries and members can be carried out without dependence on the dollar, thus reducing America's totalitarianism with the dollar, he added. The Iranian President had earlier met Prime Minister Modi on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Bishkek. He is now set to continue his engagements in New Delhi with a bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister.

BRICS has emerged as an important platform for coordination among major emerging economies and for advancing the interests of the Global South in multilateral institutions. Its agenda covers development, finance, technology, trade and people-to-people exchanges. The grouping currently comprises 11 countries -- Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the UAE.

Celina Jaitly remembers late son Shamsher on his birthday: Im heartbroken
Celina Jaitly remembered her late son Shamsher on his birthday on Thursday with an emotional post on social media. The actor shared a video she had recorded during a visit to Austria earlier this year, explaining that she was unsure when she would be able to return and wanted to preserve the moment as a memory. In her Instagram post, Celina spoke about her wish as a mother and shared that she hopes to be reunited with her son even after her lifetime. She wrote, My wish is that when my life reaches its natural end, I be cremated in my homeland, India, & my ashes be laid to rest with my son, Shamsher, in Austria. A mother's wish to be close to the child she could not hold for long enough. Addressing Shamsher, Celina explained why she had recorded the video during her Austria visit. She wrote, I did not get to see your brothers during that visit. Mummy is heartbroken, my son, but Mummy is strong. I keep going & keep living for your brothers, carrying all four of you in my heart, adding, Today, you were born alongside Arthu. You left us so soon afterwards, but you have never left me. She also reflected on the bond between Shamsher and his brothers, writing, I have seen the longing for you in Arthu's eyes & heard it in his words. I believe you watch over him. And somehow, through everything, I feel you watching over me too. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Celina Jaitly (@celinajaitlyofficial) Celina further spoke about the personal and legal difficulties she has faced while trying to navigate her family life. She wrote, I left my country, my parents, my work & everything familiar to build a life with my family. Today, I sometimes feel as though I must explain in words & documents what has lived in every breath of me since becoming a mother. How does a mother put a lifetime of love in front of a court?\ The actor also apologised to Shamsher for having to express her feelings through a recording rather than speaking directly to his brothers. She concluded her message by saying, I am sorry, my darling, that I have to say this through a recording. I wish I could speak to your brothers directly & remind them myself: Mummy is always here. My love has never moved away from you. None of you has to do anything to earn it. It is yours, forever. Happy birthday, my darling Shamsher & my darling Arthu. I will always be the mother of both the babies I brought into this world that day. Watch over Winston, Viraaj & Arthu, my son, while Mummy keeps finding the strength to move forward. Until we meet again, my darling Shamsher. Until we meet again. Forever your Mummy, she concluded. Celina is married to Austrian entrepreneur and hotelier Peter Haag. The couple welcomed twin boys in March 2012. In 2017, they welcomed another set of twin boys, but Shamsher died shortly after birth due to a heart defect. Celina has also been involved in legal proceedings concerning her family. In November 2025, she filed a case under the Domestic Violence Act against her husband in a Mumbai court, alleging emotional, physical, sexual and verbal abuse. She reportedly sought damages of Rs 50 crores, monthly maintenance of Rs 10 lakh and custody of their children. Her brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Jaitly, was detained in the UAE in September 2024 in connection with an alleged national security matter. Celina later approached the Delhi High Court, which in November 2025 directed the Ministry of External Affairs to extend legal assistance to him.

Indian equities expected to see rerating as H2 earnings pick up: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) Indian equities could be set for a rerating as secondhalf earnings accelerate and domestic institutional capital returns, a report said on Friday. The report from Omniscience Capital said that the consolidation phase should be treated as an accumulation window rather than as an opportunity to chase recent performance. The firm said that opportunities lie in businesses benefiting from structural capital expenditure, energy transition and infrastructure development. The report cautioned that pockets of the mid and smallcap segments remain richly valued and urged selective deployment into highquality growth businesses available at discounted valuations. Opportunities are concentrated in businesses exposed to sustained growth and operating leverage but available at favourable valuations, the report noted. Key areas include banking and financial services, infrastructure and power, and business services, supported by resilient credit growth, rising electricity demand and a recovery in corporate capex. The moderation in Indian equity valuations has led to renewed institutional interest, with foreign investors turning net buyers on multiple occasions after a two-year moderation in valuations. Domestic fundamentals remain supportive, with FY27 real GDP growth estimated at around 7 per cent even though crude oil prices call for caution. With direct, retaliatory military actions between the US and Iran, the hope for a diplomatic resolution through a longer-term peace deal has taken a severe blow, the report forecasted. Multi-year forward earnings execution is fully priced in, leaving prospective returns barely near the discount rate while exposing investors to severe de-rating risk, said Ashwin K. Shami, President & Chief Portfolio Manager, OmniScience Capital. The firm saw a valuation disconnect across market capitalisations, with Nifty Smallcap 250 and Midcap 150 trading at trailing P/E multiples of around 34-fold and 30-fold, respectively, compared with around 20-fold for Nifty 100. Global equity markets continue to contend with elevated risk-free rates, with US 10-year Treasury yields near one-year highs of 4.6 per cent-4.7 per cent, while geopolitical tensions have added volatility to crude oil and commodities. The US Federal Reserves policy decision on September 16 remains a near-term factor for Treasury yields and global risk appetite.
