Students, experts stress friendship, passion and safe spaces to build Nasha Mukt Yuva
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) Friendship, positive peer influence, and the pursuit of genuine passions emerged as powerful tools against substance abuse during a CBSE Talkathon that brought together school leaders, medical experts, narcotics officials, and students. The session featured Principal Alka Awasthi of Mayur School, Noida; Prof. Nand Kumar from AIIMS New Delhis Department of Psychiatry; Anish C, Additional Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau; and Class 12 students Samya and Rohit. Nand Kumar explained that every drug hijacks the brains reward circuit, creating intense pleasure that ordinary activities cannot match. He stressed that supportive environments and the courage to say no protect young minds more effectively than lectures alone. Class 12 student Rohit said a true friends responsibility is to understand the reasons, mental stress or peer pressure, that push someone toward substances. He added that friends should offer quiet support and, when needed, involve trusted adults or school authorities. Student Samya emphasised that condemnation only isolates users further, while reassurance such as You are not alone; we will support you helps build community and resilience. Principal Alka Awasthi and students showcased posters designed by schoolchildren with messages like Healthy Youth Equal to Strong Nation, Break the Roots of Habit Before They Break You and Wipe Out the Drugs Before They Wipe You Out. The panel noted that student-led campaigns carry greater credibility among peers. Anish advised that the real kick in life should come from sports, creative pursuits and extra-curricular activities. He warned that illicit drugs today are often synthetic and highly potent, with even a single use capable of severely damaging developing brains. On the social normalisation of alcohol, hookah and vapes at parties and weddings, experts observed that adolescent brains are still developing impulse-control capacities. Exposure at this stage interferes with healthy growth. They suggested schools begin age-appropriate conversations early, so young people themselves influence adults to change harmful practices. The panel repeatedly stressed the need for safe spaces where children can ask questions and seek help without fear of harsh consequences. Non-verbal gestures of support, such as a reassuring presence, often open doors more effectively than words. Students were reminded that willpower to refuse strengthens when they are surrounded by friends who respect boundaries. The Talkathon concluded with a strong message to advance the vision of a Nasha Mukt Yuva for a developed India. By combining awareness, strong friendships, early reporting through channels such as the NCB helpline 1933, and the courage to seek help without embarrassment, stakeholders can protect young minds and futures.

CBSE Talkathon stresses awareness, support to keep youth drug-free
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) Experts and students came together in a CBSE Talkathon to discuss the growing challenge of substance abuse among school students and ways to prevent it. The interactive session featured Alka Awasthi, Principal of Mayur School, Noida; Prof. Nand Kumar from the Department of Psychiatry at AIIMS, New Delhi; Anish C, Additional Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau; and Class 12 students Samya and Rohit from PM Shri Kendriya Vidyalayas. CBSE Talkathon, a series of live virtual sessions conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education, allows specialists to speak directly to students and teachers about issues related to well-being and learning. One prominent edition centred on the Nasha Mukt Yuva (Drug-Free Youth) campaign, aimed at building awareness to combat substance abuse. Nand Kumar explained that drugs first affect the brain by hyperactivating its reward circuit, creating intense pleasure that normal life experiences cannot match. This leads users to seek the substance repeatedly and eventually become dependent. He added that while alcohol damages the liver and stomach and cigarettes harm the lungs and throat, the brain is always the first target. Responding to the myth that occasional alcohol use does not cause addiction, Anish cautioned that even sporadic consumption opens the door to dependency. The brain begins to associate the substance with relaxation, gradually replacing healthy coping methods. Principal Alka Awasthi reinforced that no amount of drug use is safe, as it creates a temporary coping mechanism that ultimately leads to addiction. Addressing concerns about sudden cessation, Nand Kumar said mild changes in attention, concentration, focus, and sleep are normal signs of dependence and indicate the need for professional support. He also debunked the belief that substances improve concentration, calling it a dangerous myth. On helping friends influenced by harmful habits, Awasthi advised young people to show empathy and patience while clearly expressing concern. If a friend does not respond, they should involve parents, school counsellors, or peer educators. CBSE schools already have peer ambassadors and educators who monitor classmates and report concerns. The experts agreed that strong friendships and supportive school communities create positive peer pressure that encourages refusal of drugs. Nand Kumar shared a refusal technique called CALM: clearly declare, I will not take it; Leave the situation immediately; use an Excuse if needed; and stay Mindful. Nasha Mukt, Anish explained, means understanding drugs and saying no so that demand falls and substances stop reaching young minds. The session sent a strong message: academic or social pressure is never a justification for substance use, and seeking help should never be a source of shame.
Dumper-crane collision in Delhis Sarita Vihar, death toll rises to four (Ld)
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 20 (IANS) The death toll from a dumper truck's collision with a crane and an auto-rickshaw parked on the side of a road in south Delhi's Sarita Vihar, has risen to four, officials confirmed on Sunday. Three others who were injured in the incident, are currently undergoing treatment at the hospital. The incident took place early on Sunday. CCTV installation work was underway near the parked vehicles as part of the Safe City Project at the time of the accident. According to preliminary information, the dumper truck was coming from Uttar Pradesh's Noida when it collided with the crane and auto-rickshaw parked at the roadside. The deceased have been identified as Umesh, 23, Praveen, 35, and Suraj, 34. The latter was the HR Manager of the company involved in the Safe City Project, officials said. Speaking to IANS, Umesh's cousin Ratan Singh blamed the administration for lapses that resulted in the tragedy. He said: Umesh was my maternal cousin. He, along with other workers, was installing CCTV cameras for Traffic Police, when the accident occurred. Some of them were on the crane while others were standing on the road when a speeding dumper truck hit them from behind. Ratan Singh added: One or two of them, including Umesh, died on the spot while others were taken to the hospital. Some of them succumbed to injuries there. Strict action should be taken against the driver as he was carelessly driving the vehicle. Also, there were no safety barriers or work zone barricades for those working on the roadside. This is the fault of the administration, he said. The three injured victims, Akash, Anup and Khem Singh, are currently undergoing treatment. One individual, identified as Sudhir, escaped unharmed in the incident. The driver of the dumper truck fled from the spot following the accident, and efforts are being made to trace him. Further investigation into the incident is currently underway. In a similar road tragedy, three people lost their lives, and another was critically injured in a serious accident in Mumbai early on Sunday, officials said. The accident involved a high-end car and took place on the Mumbai Coastal Road.

Samsung Offloads DDR5 Module Output To Shield PC Market From AI Shortages
If you have been reading the news in the last couple of months, probably you saw what is happening regarding the RAMmageddon , with memory prices going up given the shortage caused because the AI companies are buying massive loads of them. Trying to shield the PC Market from this shortage , Samsung Electronics has decided to outsource the expanded production of its DDR5 memory modules and solid-state drives (SSDs) to third-party manufacturing partners across Asia. This strategic shift allows the South Korean semiconductor manufacturer to concentrate domestic factory capacity primarily on high-bandwidth memory (HBM) tailored for artificial intelligence workloads. Domestically, Samsung is retooling its advanced packaging facilities located in Cheonan and Onyang . Conventional production lines at these South Korean sites are being converted into advanced packaging setups dedicated specifically to high-density HBM fabrication. In addition to reallocating existing infrastructure, Samsung has initiated construction on a dedicated HBM fabrication facility at the Onyang campus, backed by an estimated 6 trillion won investment. Concurrently, a $1.5 billion processing plant currently under development in Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam, will be reserved exclusively for testing legacy memory formats, including DDR4 , LPDDR4 , NAND flash , and UFS storage . To offset the domestic transition, Samsung is scaling outsourced operations across key regional partners: Dreamtech (India): Converting its Noida Plant 1 into a dedicated memory module assembly site, targeting an annual output capacity exceeding 50 million units . Hanyang Digitech (Vietnam): Allocating over 31.5 billion won during the first half of the year to integrate process automation and boost assembly throughput. SFA Semicon (Philippines): Receiving specialized DDR5 assembly and testing machinery transferred directly from Samsungs Onyang facility to its Philippine manufacturing base. The strategic transition capitalizes on distinct technical requirements between product categories. Standard DDR5 memory modules rely on surface-mount technology (SMT) , a mature and less complex process that third-party packaging and testing subcontractors can readily execute at scale. In contrast, next-generation HBM architectures demand specialized thermal control and vertical packaging techniques requiring dedicated in-house resources. The realignment enables Samsung to secure manufacturing yields for upcoming high-bandwidth developments, including future HBM generations , while maintaining global supply for consumer-grade DDR5 and SSD components. In theory, this wont make the memory prices go down but, at least, it will make it harder for them to go up, since the supply would going to be able to follow the demand.

Nithari case victim's father questions Surendra Koli's death, claims murder
The father of a Nithari case victim questions Surendra Koli's death, alleging murder. Koli was found hanging in Haridwar, with police investigating the scene.

Didn't know he was related to Nithari killings case, says man who helped Surendra Koli get job
Digital Desk | Haridwar, Sep 18 (IANS) Dharmender, a local, who helped Surendra Koli land a job at a tea stall in Uttarakhand's Haridwar, said on Friday that he was not aware that the latter had been an accused in the sensational Nithari killings case. This comes hours after Surendra Koli committed suicide by hanging himself. His body was found at the tea stall. Speaking to IANS, Dharmender said: I met him 15 days back when he begged me for a job. He had told me that he knows cooking, so I arranged for him to work at the tea stall at my guarantee...Only today I got to know that he is Surendra Koli and was related to the Nithari case. About whether Koli was asked for any identification proof, he said: Just yesterday, I had asked him for his Aadhar card for verification, to which he said that he did not have it here but would get it. So, I had given my Aadhar card to the owner (of the tea stall) and asked him to keep him here on my guarantee. Today morning I saw customers were sitting outside the shop but the shutter was closed. As soon as I attempted to knock, I realised that the shutter was already open. Upon opening it, I saw that he (Surendra Koli) had hanged himself. Dharmender said that Koli was under depression. He (Surendra Koli) was also suffering from low sugar, he added. Meanwhile, Shishupal Singh Negi, Circle Officer (Haridwar City), said that Koli's family has been informed about the incident and investigation is underway. Talking to IANS, Negi said: Surendra Koli has been frequently in the news as he was an accused in the Nithari case, which is why people recognised him. His family members have been informed and should be arriving soon. An investigation is underway, and any further updates will be shared as facts emerge. Whether he (Surendra Koli) was facing trouble at home will only be known once his family arrives. For now, it remains a matter of investigation, he added. In November last year, Koli, who was given the sobriquet Butcher of Nithari, was set free by the Supreme Court, which allowed his curative petition, giving a formal closure to a saga of botched-up probe and media trial built on theories of cannibalism. The 2006 Nithari killings captured public attention after the disappearance of minors from the village was linked to the discovery of human remains in a drain outside Moninder Singh Pandher's home in Noida's Sector-31, which became infamous as House of Horrors.

AI could pose major challenge to management education by replacing entry-level work: CEA Nageswaran
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) Artificial intelligence (AI) could emerge as a major challenge for management education over the next two to three decades by automating the routine and analytical tasks through which young professionals traditionally acquire experience, Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran said on Friday. Addressing the 16th Indian Management Conclave (IMC 2026) in Noida, Nageswaran said the rapid advancement of AI provides an opportunity to fundamentally rethink the way management education is designed and delivered. He stressed that simply introducing additional AI-related courses would not be sufficient to prepare students for a workplace where machines increasingly handle analytical and routine functions. Adding one AI elective will not be enough, Nageswaran said, emphasising that management institutions need to focus more strongly on developing judgement among students. He said the ability to make sound decisions would become increasingly important as AI takes over a growing share of analytical work. 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, he said. According to Nageswaran, one of the biggest implications of AI could be the disappearance of entry-level jobs that have traditionally acted as an apprenticeship for young professionals. Routine and codified tasks are among the first areas being automated, potentially removing the early-career opportunities through which employees learn their profession. 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, he said. Nageswaran said that for decades, professionals developed judgement gradually through experience and on-the-job learning. If AI eliminates a significant part of this apprenticeship process, he questioned how the next generation would acquire the ability to make complex decisions. For a century, we learn judgement on the job, slowly through apprenticeshipand if AI removes the apprenticeship, where will the next generation of judgement be? he said. He described this as a fundamental challenge for management education, noting that the skills AI cannot easily replicate are often the most difficult ones to teach through conventional classroom methods. This is not a small problem for management education, it could be the whole problem, Nageswaran said. He added that the aspects of management that remain beyond AI's capabilities are precisely those that have traditionally been the hardest to teach in a classroom. Calling for a shift in educational priorities, Nageswaran said management institutions should teach judgement rather than focus solely on techniques. As AI becomes capable of performing analysis, managers would increasingly need to determine what questions should be asked and whether the answers generated by AI can be trusted. First, teach judgement, not just technique, he said, adding that judgement can be developed through the use of cases and decision-making exercises.
Nithari case accused Surendra Koli commits suicide in Haridwar
Digital Desk | Haridwar, Sep 18 (IANS) Surendra Koli, the accused in the sensational Nithari killings case, has committed suicide by hanging himself in Uttarakhand's Haridwar, police said on Friday. His body was found at a tea stall. The incident reportedly took place opposite the Lalmata Temple on Sapt Sarovar Road in the Bhupatwala area of north Haridwar. According to reports, Koli had been running a tea stall in the area for the past few days. His body was found hanging from a rope inside the stall. Upon receiving the information, a team from the Saptarishi police outpost arrived at the scene, took possession of the body, and initiated an investigation. Police stated that the deceased has been identified as Koli, a resident of Mangrukhal village in the Bhikiasain area of the state's Almora district. The police have informed his family members, and all aspects of the incident are being investigated. In November last year, Koli, who was given the sobriquet Butcher of Nithari, was set free by the Supreme Court, which allowed his curative petition, giving a formal closure to a saga of botched-up probe and media trial built on theories of cannibalism. The 2006 Nithari killings captured public attention after the disappearance of minors from the village was linked to the discovery of human remains in a drain outside businessman Mohinder Singh Pandhers home in Noida Sector-31, which became infamous as House of Horrors. The investigation into the case that involved allegations of abduction of children and young women, and horrifying claims of rape, cannibalism, and organ theft, had culminated in 19 cases, some of which even resulted in Kolis conviction and sentencing to death. Koli, a domestic worker, and his employer, Pandher, were initially convicted in the case. A total of 19 cases were lodged against the two in 2007. The CBI filed closure reports in three cases because of insufficient evidence. Koli was found not guilty in three of the 16 remaining cases, and his death sentence in one case was changed to life imprisonment.

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.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 17 (IANS) Filmmaker Meghna Gulzar, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film Daayra starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kareena Kapoor Khan, has credited the late actor Irrfan's powerful performance in 'Talvar' for convincing audience that Aarushi Talwar's parents weren't at fault. The filmmaker spoke with IANS during the promotions of Daayra in the Andheri West area of Mumbai. She said that Irrfan's portrayal of Ashwin Kumar, Joint-Director of CBI in Talvar strongly worked in the favour of the audience empathising with the parents of Aarushi Talwar. The film was based on the 2008 Noida double murder case, the unsolved murders of 13-year-old girl Aarushi Talwar and her house help, Hemraj. The two were killed on the night of 1516 May 2008 at Aarushi's home in Noida, India. When Aarushi's body was discovered in her bedroom on May 16, Hemraj was missing at the time, and was considered the main suspect. The next day, Hemraj's partially decomposed body was discovered on the terrace. Meghna said that the film is purely based on facts, and presents the events as is without taking sides. She told IANS, Irrfan sir's performance has convinced you. But the facts are the facts and the facts are what have been depicted in the film. So, the facts look like they are veering more in favour of the parents, that was the reality. It's just that Irrfan sir as an actor and a performer convinced you a little more. But he convinced you with what? With the facts that he had. And the facts were as they were in life, which is why the Talvar family then got exonerated in the high court. Talvar didn't create that fiction, she added. After ruling out former domestic servants of the family, Aarushi's parents, Dr. Rajesh Talwar and Dr. Nupur Talwar were treated as the prime suspects by the police. The police suspected that Rajesh had murdered the victims after finding them in an objectionable position, or because Rajesh's alleged extra-marital affair had led to his blackmail by Hemraj and a confrontation with Aarushi. The Talwars' family and friends accused the police of framing them in order to cover up the botched-up investigation. The couple was acquitted of all charges by the Allahabad High Court in 2017. On March 8, 2018, the CBI challenged the acquittal in the Supreme Court.
