IPL 2024: If MI Wish To Be Serious About Winning The Event, Need To Beat Best Teams, Says Tim David
If Mumbai Indians: Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are at the eighth spot in the points table of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, with just three wins from eight matches and lower-order batter Tim David feels if the side wishes to be serious about winning the tournament, they got to beat the best teams. But if we're going to be serious about winning this tournament, we need to beat the best teams in the competition, the teams playing the best cricket. It's obvious that if we lose those games, we won't make it. If we beat them, we'll be there in the playoffs and beat the teams considered the best in the competition. So, that's how it works. It was pretty obvious against RR that wasn't the standard that we set ourselves to. That is the challenge for the playing group - of setting the tone, said David in the pre-match press conference. MI come into Saturdays afternoon game against sixth-placed Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium after suffering a nine-wicket defeat to table-toppers Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. If they are to enter IPL 2024 playoffs in their typically late resurgence style, they ought to win their remaining six league games, starting from Saturdays clash. The mood in the dressing room was good, but we were obviously disappointed after the last match. We didn't put a good showing out for ourselves there. So, that's a natural feeling, and we're excited for the opportunity to bounce back tomorrow. We had a slow start to the season, then we played some better cricket. If we had won our last game (against RR), it would have been our fourth win in five matches so far. We need to play our best cricket coming to this point in the season, added David. In the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah has undoubtedly been Mumbai's standout bowler. Bumrah is also leading the wicket-taking charts with 13 wickets at an economy rate of 6.37, with his death overs economy rate being at just 7.20, showcasing his effectiveness in a phase where batters go for big hits. David is glad he doesnt need to face Bumrah in IPL matches. He's (Bumrah) incredibly consistent, believes in his own skill set, and has a history of good performances. But yeah, of course, Boom has a unique action, which makes it difficult for batters to pick up. But he bowls fast. He swings the ball when it's new. And then he nails yorkers and bowls a hard-to-pick slow ball. That's a pretty enticing package. He plays all three formats as well, so we're very lucky to have him on our team. And sometimes, when you have players who are the best in the world and skilled at their craft, you let them do their thing. They can take on any role that the team needs at that point. And we've certainly been relying on Boom a lot this season. And we're going to keep relying on him. And let's hope he has some more big performances in store for us, concluded David.
Extreme heat adding to woes of staff in workshops
Hyderabad: There are quite a few professions wherein employees and workers are exposed to heat from all sides in harsh summers. It has been horrendous for them this year as temperatures in the city are hovering over 44 degrees. But to the bread-earners employed in workshops and near furnaces, it is business as usual. They have no other option as they have to run their respective families. For instance, the situation is quite arduous at Bholakpur in Musheerabad. It is full of welding and fabrication units. The life of every worker is at perennial risk, more so during summers. The conditions are harsh but what to do After all, we chose this livelihood. We have no complaints. Our focus is on delivering the work on time, said Abdul Rehman, a welder. The surroundings of Ilchiguda and the areas behind Indira Park are a hub for the painting and denting of vehicles. The workshops are basically in open spaces or tin sheds and the workers have to bear the brunt. Mohammed Ikrar, a denting and painting worker, said I came to this city from Jaipur last month. Although the climate here is too harsh, I have noticed that workers dont complain and keep working. J.T. Prem Kumar said, I am in this market for the past 12 years. This is one of the busiest areas in the city when it comes to painting and denting works. This year the temperatures are extremely high. The market is busy and work contracts have to be delivered on time. Mohammed Junaid, who was working in the open plot of a workshop without any shade, said The working hours are from 9 am to 6 pm. Each worker is paid up to Rs 500 per day. Whatever the conditions, we are happy that we have work. We have to take care of our families. Ravi Kumar, who was denting a car door, said We are drinking a lot of water. As the temperatures are harsh, we are getting tired soon. Yet, most of the workers do not complain.

But Mumbai come into Saturdays game on the back of suffering a nine-wicket defeat to Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur and find themselves at the eighth place. A win against Delhi will set the base for their late revival in the competition, something which is now their hallmark. On the other hand, Delhi will be playing their third straight game at their real home ground, where another run-fest would be in the offering at a stadium with short square boundaries. The sixth-placed Delhi have a lot of confidence after surviving a late scare from Rashid Khan and David Miller to beat Gujarat Titans by four runs on Wednesday. Another win at home will keep them in contention in an intense race to enter the playoffs. Their batting charge has been led by captain Rishabh Pant, who is making big strides with every passing game about finding his vintage best with bat and gloves, as seen from his magnificent 88 not out against Gujarat on Wednesday. DC were also helped by Axar Patels promotion to No.3, paying off as he made his highest IPL score of 66, apart from him and Kuldeep Yadav being economical with the ball. Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs have shone with the bat, while Prithvi Shaw and Shai Hope, coming in place of David Warner in the last game, are due to step up to give DC more batting depth. Pant will also be hoping that the fast bowlers, who have been inconsistent so far, will click to complement the spinners well to contain Mumbais batting line-up, which hasnt fired in unison. Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma have hit big knocks, but they havent been consistent. The likes of Tim David, Ishan Kishan and captain Hardik Pandya need to chip in and support the trio with the bat if they are to get a big total. In the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah has undoubtedly been Mumbai's standout bowler. Bumrah is also leading the wicket-taking charts with 13 wickets at an economy rate of 6.37, with his death overs economy rate being at just 7.20, showcasing his effectiveness in a phase where batters go for big hits.

Rajasthan stage set for 2nd phase under scorching sun
JAIPUR : As the sun beats down on Rajasthans desert expanse, the political climate is heating up even more in anticipation of Fridays elections. With voting set to take place across 13 constituencies, the state has become a focal point of intense campaigning, with star campaigners from major parties leaving no stone unturned to ensure victory. Five to eight high-profile seats have caught the publics attention due to the stakes of the candidates involved. In the Jodhpur constituency, BJPs Gajendra Singh Shekhawat is locked in a fierce contest with Karan Singh Uchiarada from Congress. Having won the seat in both 2014 and 2019, Shekhawat faces a tough challenge from Uchiarada, who also hails from the Rajput community. Kota-Bundi Lok Sabha seat is another battleground where BJPs Om Birla, a two-time winner, is facing a formidable challenge from Prahlad Gunjal, who recently switched allegiance from BJP to Congress, belongs to the Gurjar community and enjoys the backing of ex-CM Vasundhara Raje, making the race closely contested. Chittorgarh seat sees BJP state president CP Joshi locking horns with Congresss Anjana Udaylal and BSPs Meghwal Radheshyam. Joshis campaign is further complicated by the presence of rebel BJP MLA Chandrabhan Singh Akya, who poses a significant threat due to his strong grassroots support and anti-Joshi sentiments. In Rajsamand, Mahima Singh Mewar (BJP) and Damodar Gurjar (Congress) are the main contenders. While the seat is traditionally considered safe for the BJP, the last-minute change in Congresss candidate has added a new dimension to the race, nominating Damodar Gurjar for this seat. Initially, Congress had chosen Sudarshan Rawat, who later backed out. Subsequently, Gurjar, originally fielded in Bhilwara, was moved to this seat. Religion plays a key role in the Udaipur constituency following the murder of tailor Kanhaiyalal. BJPs Mannalal Rawat and Congresss Tarachand Meena are the main contenders, with Congress facing potential vote bank erosion. The Tonk-Sawai Madhopur seat witnesses a polarised contest between BJPs Sukhbir Singh Jonapuria and MLA Harish Meena, with Gurjar-Meena vote polarisation evident. Banswara-Dungarpur seat is embroiled in controversy with Congress supporting candidate of BAP, Rajkumar Rot at the last minute and their official candidate, Arvind Damor, refuses to withdraw. In Ajmer, the BJP has nominated MP Bhagirath Chaudhary for reelection, while Ramchandra Choudhary, a seasoned dairy chairman, represents Congress. In Bharatpur, the Jat movement shapes the electoral landscape. The area boasts around 5 lakh Jat voters. Additionally, the region has about 3.50 lakh Jatav voters. Congresss Sanjana belongs to this community, while BJPs Ramswaroop Koli has previously won from the Bayana seat. Its a three-way contest in the Barmer-Jaisalmer seat. An independent candidate Ravindra Singh Bhati has emerged as a prominent figure, causing concern for both Kailash Chaudhary (BJP) and Umedaram Beniwal (Congress). The electoral battleground also features the sons of two former CMs, Vaibhav Gehlot and Dushyant Singh, contesting from Jalore-Sirohi and Jhalawar respectively. Similarly, Dushyant Singhs fifth-time bid from Jhalawar has posed questions about the strength of his opposition. High-stake 13-seat fight With this phase, polls to all 25 seats in the desert state will be over; 12 constituencies went to the polls in the first phase VOTERS No of AC segments: 200 Total voters: 2,80,78,399 Service voters: 26,837 Male voters: 1,44,48,966 Female voters: 1,36,02,272 Third-gender voters: 324 First-time voters (18-19 yrs): 8,66,325 Disabled voters: 3,22,829 Voters above 85 years: 3,01,742

PM should avoid instigating emotions by discussing temples, mosques and Mangalsutra : Sachin Pilot
JAIPUR: Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot said that one should talk about farmers, youth, development, and industry to make a better India and should avoid instigating emotions by discussing temples, mosques and Mangalsutra. Launching an attack on Prime Minsiter Modi, He said, If you have done so much good work in 10 years then you should have confidence that you will come out victorious. The narrative that has been created in the last two-three days is very surprising and I feel that people holding responsible positions should not use this kind of terminology. This kind of language, the Congress general secretary said, apparently referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's edistribution of wealth remarks. My mother's 'mangalsutra' was sacrificed for this country: Priyanka Gandhi's blistering attack on PM He also said that there is an undercurrent in favour of the INDIA bloc in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. The Congress leader said that the BJP is now on the back foot after the first phase of the elections as the voters are not satisfied with the saffron party. I have been to many districts in Rajasthan. I have gone to several states in the country. Everywhere I see an undercurrent of change, Pilot told reporters in Tonk. INDIA bloc to cross 272-seat majority; Congress will win more seats than BJP in Rajasthan: Sachin Pilot He further said, Looking at the feedback received after the first phase of voting, and the speeches BJP leaders are making, I feel that somewhere the BJP is on the back foot today. The public is not satisfied.I feel that this election is an election of change. He claimed that not only in Rajasthan but all over India, wherever the INDIA bloc is contesting elections, its candidates have an edge. Pilot claimed that in the second phase of elections due on April 26, the Congress will win more seats than the BJP. The Congress leader said he has full faith in the voters of the country that they will take the right decision and make the Congress and the INDIA bloc win the elections.

GeM startup runway revolutionizes public procurement, empowering India's innovators
GeM startup runway revolutionizes public procurement, empowering India's innovators Designing innovations that cater to the needs, behaviours, and experiences of target users, India's agile startup ecosystem offers immense potential to enhance the delivery of public goods and services. However, barriers such as product comparison and price discovery have often deterred government buyers from accessing disruptive products and services offered by these lean startups. According to GeM, lengthy sales cycles, complex procurement processes, and significant time spent with vague agency contacts have further discouraged startups from participating in government tenders. With the aim to align domestic startups with government buyers, the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) launched the Startup Runway Outlet Store on its platform in November 2019. Recognizing global key drivers for startups such as earning recurring revenues, raising capital, boosting valuation, and finding a market fit, Startup Runway offers brand and intellectual property protection and facilitates startups to exclusively list their innovative products with minimal technical specifications under 14 globally recognized startup subsectors. Addressing the challenge of Access to Market, GeM allows the listing of startups while exempting prior turnover, prior experience, and earnest money deposit (EMD). Subject to meeting quality and technical specifications, GeM enables Startups to establish their presence in the public procurement marketplace as a part of its initiative to promote Make in India products and services on Startup Runway. Driven by its core value of maximizing social inclusion, GeM is enabling small businesses in scaling operations in minimal time, said GeM CEO P K Singh. GeM is also focused on providing frictionless access to finance to startups. Through its mobile application, GeM Sahay, it is empowering sellers/service providers to secure collateral-free loans at attractive interest rates to help them fulfil purchase orders awarded on the platform. Presently, 13,400+ sellers have registered on GeM Sahay and loans worth INR 21.96 Crore+ have been disbursed. The portal is soon to roll out GeM Sahay 2.0, which will facilitate disbursal of loan amounts up to Rs 10 Lakhs within 10 minutes at a sub 10 per cent interest rate. Presently, 23,332 DIPP-recognized startups are registered on GeM and have fulfilled a cumulative total of 2.84 Lakh+ orders worth Rs 22,954 Crore in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV). In 2020, EdgeFX Technologies, a Hyderabad-based startup engaged in Tinkering, Incubation, and InnovationLab solutions to Schools and Technical Institutions, reached out to GeM for assistance with their seller registration on the Startup Runway. Prospective government buyers had recommended EdgeFX to list their innovative products on the GeM platform for evaluation and potential procurement. Post-listing of product catalogues in the EdTech product category under the Startup Runway, the EdgeFX Team relentlessly engaged with government buyers to realize large orders. Kamini Gupta, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of EdgeFX Technologies said, GeM has been a constant companion in our growth from time we onboarded on the portal. Thanks to GeM, government buyers are now our primary customer in the education and skilling domain, both for products and services. Disruptive ideas like the Startup Runway have made a huge difference in our initial journey as an Edtech company. Also, the wide reach and excellent support from the GeM team has played a crucial role in our success story. During the Covid-19 pandemic, startups developed and listed groundbreaking innovative solutions for combating the pandemic on the Startup Runway. Noccarc, a Pune-based startup, addressed the lack of life-saving ventilators by developing a ready-to-market ventilator in a record span of 90 days, thus mitigating the dependency on foreign manufacturers and realizing national self-reliance. GenRobotics, a Kerala-based startup, developed Bandicoot, a robotic arm with four legs to grip the sides of manholes and unclog/excavate the sewage to the surface, thereby eliminating the need to work inside the manholes. The startup was among the first startups to list their products on Startup Runway and engage with government buyers such as Urban Local Bodies (ULB) for orders through the Single Tender Enquiry under Rule 166 of GFR 2017, where procurement from a single source can be resorted to under specific circumstances. A business leader and an alumni of the esteemed IIT Delhi & IIM Indore, Suman Chandrawat is the founder of Craftico Creations - a Jaipur-based startup that specializes in generating designs, making premium handmade paintings, and sculptures. Armed with her expertise in sales, marketing, and technology, Suman is working towards enhancing the lives of young professional artists through Craftico. Collaborating with more than 100 women for creating vibrant and beautiful art, Craftico is relentlessly working towards a more inclusive society in the field of fine arts. Talking about her business growth on GeM, Suman said, The GeM portal isn't just a platform; it is our partner in growth, providing us with unparalleled access to government procurement opportunities, streamlined processes, and a wider network of buyers. It has empowered us to thrive in a competitive landscape! PK Singh said, GeM champions the growth of startups by providing them direct access to all government buyers. It serves as a one-stop-shop for bids & reverse auction on products and services and also provides a mechanism for dynamic pricing where sellers can change the price of product or service offerings based on changes in the market. With a strong and credible vendor rating system to recognize credible sellers, a seller-friendly dashboard for selling, and monitoring of supplies and payments, news and event sections for regular updates, and facility to suggest new product categories, GeM is transforming the way startups conduct business with the government, he added. To maximize outreach, awareness, and advocacy, workshops and training sessions are also organized with Startup India for the sensitization and onboarding of startups and alignment with opportunities in public procurement, thereby realizing the philosophy of the Government to turn the youth from job-seekers to job-creators. GeM is serving as a true catalyst for startups by aligning them in public procurement through direct access to Govt buyers, sans intermediaries, thereby ensuring better product prices, spurring hyper-local job-creation, social impact, and wealth-generation in rural India. Startup Runway further reinforces GeM's commitment towards creating a diverse marketplace that is accessible to all. It also aligns with flagship initiatives of the Government of India, namely; Vocal for Local, and Make in India (MII) to promote local startups towards a self-reliant and an Atmanirbhar Bharat. (ANI)
Odisha: Dharmendra Pradhan attacks state govt on development in Jharsuguda
JHARSUGUDA: Union Minister and BJPs Lok Sabha candidate from Sambalpur Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday hit out at the Odisha government over lack of basic development in Jharsuguda. Addressing a public gathering during Mishrana Parba at Laikera, Pradhan said the state government is responsible for the plight of people in Jharsuguda. Coal from the district is used to provide electricity to many parts of India. Jharsugudas industries, iron and aluminium are strengthening the countrys economy. But even after staying in power for 24 years, the BJD government has failed to carry out basic development in the region. He further claimed though Mahanadi and Ib rivers flow nearby, the women of Jharsuguda are not getting clean drinking water. While the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre has given Rs 10,000 crore to Odisha for provision of water to every household, the state government has spent only Rs 800 crore from it. Irrigation facilities could not be provided in districts which are located along the river banks. Besides, there is drought in districts situated along the banks of Mahanadi. Is this transformation of the 24-year-old regime? Our state has fallen into the hands of people who are apathetic towards Odia people, Pradhan alleged. The union minister claimed the local youths were migrating outside to work as labourers. Malnutrition and anaemia among women and children was alarming. A minister was shot dead by a policeman in broad daylight. What could be more depressing than this? Pradhan also attended a BJP workers meeting at Kirmira. He said Kirmira and Laikera blocks have come under the Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) because of the efforts of PM Modi. At least 40,000 houses have been provided under PMAY in Jharsuguda at a cost of Rs 650 crore. Similarly, 87,000 toilets have been built under Swachh Bharat Mission and gas connection provided to 1 lakh houses under the Ujjwala Yojana. The all-round development of the region can be ensured only if a double engine BJP government comes to power in Odisha. This is Modis guarantee, he added. On the day, BJD leader and sarpanch Sukanti Jaipuria joined BJP in presence of Pradhan. In Baghdihi, the union minister felicitated local fishermen and people of Chikili and Sardha who rescued many people in the recent boat capsize incident in Lakhanpur of Jharsuguda. Pradhan also paid homage to freedom fighter Karunakar Singh Naik at Laikera and visited Maa Andhari and Maa Samaleswari temples there. In Rengali, he went to the Mahima Ashram at Salepali.
