Centre Clears 14 High Court Judges, Holds Back Delhi
ON SATURDAY, the Union Government notified the appointment of seven judicial officers as judges of the Delhi High Court while holding back the appointment of judicial officer Gurvinder Pal Singh, the senior-most among the eight officers recommended for elevation. The reason for not clearing Singhs appointment is not immediately available, nor is it known whether the government has sat on his name or returned it to the Supreme Court Collegium. On September 10 this year, the Supreme Court Collegium comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Vikram Nath and B.V. Nagarathna recommended the names of eight judicial officers namely Gurvinder Pal Singh, Nivedita Anil Sharma, Nisha Sahay Saxena, Sanjay Sharma-I, Bharat Parashar, Dr. Aditi Choudhary, Dinesh Bhatt and Arun Bhardwaj, for elevation as judges of the Delhi High Court. The Delhi High Court has a sanctioned strength of 45 permanent judges and 15 additional judges, and thus a total strength of 60. At present it is functioning with 43 judges. With the seven new appointments, the working strength will rise to 50, still leaving 10 vacancies. The government has also cleared the appointment of judicial officer Yash Paul Bourney as a judge of the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. His name was recommended by the Supreme Court Collegium on September 10. The total sanctioned strength of the J&K and Ladakh High Court is 19 permanent judges and 6 additional judges, and thus 25 in all. At present it is functioning with only 13 judges, including the Chief Justice. With Bourneys appointment, the strength will rise to 14 against the sanctioned strength of 25, leaving 11 vacancies. The government has also cleared the appointment of three judicial officers namely Manoj Prasad, Akhil Kumar and Ram Sharma as judges of the Jharkhand High Court. That court has a sanctioned strength of 25 judges, comprising 20 permanent judges and 5 additional judges. At present it is functioning with only 13 judges, including the Chief Justice. With the three new appointments, the working strength will rise to 16, still leaving 9 vacancies. The Karnataka High Court has also received three judges after the Union Government approved the Collegiums recommendation to appoint judicial officers Usharani, K.S. Bharath Kumar and Nerale Veerabhadraiah Bhavani as judges of that High Court. The Karnataka High Court has a sanctioned strength of 62 judges, comprising 47 permanent judges and 15 additional judges. It is currently functioning with 54 judges. With the three new appointments, the working strength will rise to 57, leaving 5 vacancies.
DMDK flags crimes, farm distress and civic concerns in TN
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 20 (IANS) DMDK general secretary and Vriddhachalam MLA Premalatha Vijayakant on Sunday sought urgent intervention by the TVK government on several issues, ranging from violent crimes and farmers welfare to dengue, electricity disruptions, and paddy procurement. Expressing concern over the states law-and-order situation, she referred to the Sivaganga double murder and killings reported in Madurai and Krishnagiri. Such incidents, she said, required swift investigation and firm action to restore a sense of security among residents. Premalatha urged the police to identify and arrest those responsible and ensure stringent punishment through legal proceedings. She also asked the government to take preventive steps to curb similar incidents. She called for stronger measures to prevent dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases. Local bodies must intensify mosquito-control operations, while government hospitals should have adequate beds, medicines, and diagnostic facilities. Premalatha expressed concern over reports of dengue infections among Anna University students and sought urgent preventive action on campus. Highlighting the farmers protest at Samayapuram, she demanded a complete waiver of agricultural loans. Referring to reports that crop loans amounting to Rs 247.15 crore had been waived for 50,779 farmers in Tiruchy district, she sought similar relief for eligible farmers across Tamil Nadu. The DMDK leader also urged the government to resolve concerns raised by fishermen in Pattinapakkam and ensure adequate security during Vinayaka Chaturthi processions. She asked the state to exert pressure on Karnataka to secure Tamil Nadus legitimate share of Cauvery water. On the power situation, Premalatha said the government must address complaints of unannounced outages in different parts of Tamil Nadu immediately. She also called for faster procurement of rain-exposed paddy in Tirunelveli and Vriddhachalam to prevent farmers from suffering avoidable financial losses. Premalatha said the government must treat these concerns as priorities and announce time-bound measures to resolve them. Its credibility, she added, would depend on how quickly it protected public safety, supported farmers, and ensured uninterrupted delivery of essential services.

IIT Bombay protest: Mumbai Crime Branch launches probe in students death
The investigation has been transferred to the Mumbai Crime Branch and will be handled by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Detection, a police official said
THE LEGISLATURE in a parliamentary democracy, apart from holding the Government to account, is mandated to perform two key functions, one of which is to make laws and the other to deliberate on issues concerning people, society and nation. The drought of debate It is rather tragic that, over the years, specifically after 2014, laws are being made by the Parliament without threadbare discussion of Bills introduced by the Government. It is well known that in a democracy laws are made by the legislature by following a deliberative and consultative process in which all stakeholders are involved and even the contents of the proposed legislation are subjected to scrutiny by the concerned committees of the Parliament consisting of members of both ruling and opposition parties. Over the years, especially after 2014, the passage of Bills in both Houses of Parliament without discussion and scrutiny by parliamentary committees has become the new normal, and it was glaringly manifested during the last monsoon session of the Parliament when 11 bills were passed, and 9 of them without any discussion in the Lok Sabha. It is all the more shocking that not a single member spoke on those 9 bills, except the concerned ministers who uttered a few words while introducing them in the House. The Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill was discussed in detail in both Houses, with nearly 48 members participating. As far as the bill amending the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 was concerned, only 16 MPs participated in the deliberation when it was taken up for discussion in the Rajya Sabha. The total time given to them was just 50 minutes, which means each MP spoke for an average of just three minutes. In the Lok Sabha, the same bill was passed within two minutes, with no MP participating in the discussion. The proportion of bills referred to Department Related Parliamentary Standing Committees for scrutiny and examination stood at just 21 percent for the 18th Lok Sabha; the corresponding figure was 71 percent for the 15th Lok Sabha. The percentage of bills being referred to the aforementioned standing committees shows a steady decline, with the figure being 28 percent in the 16th Lok Sabha and 16 percent in the 17th Lok Sabha. Incidental slip? This is not a one-off phenomenon, as analysis of previous terms of the Lok Sabha shows that committee referrals have declined sharply after 2014, even though the number of bills being introduced and passed has not declined. This means that more laws are being made with less deliberation or examination, and in some cases, none. It is salutary to recall that the three farm laws were framed and passed in 2020 without following the deliberative and consultative process of making laws. When the farmers, the stakeholders, agitated against those laws and the matter went to the Supreme Court, it appointed a committee so that the Government and farmers could discuss the provisions of law and find a solution to the issues which triggered the agitation. The discussion that the Government should have undertaken with the farmers before framing those laws was carried out only when the Supreme Court appointed a committee to do so. Eventually, the Modi Government repealed those laws because of sustained yearlong agitation launched by farmers against those laws. It is worth noting that the framing of those laws without consulting the farmers set an ominous example of dispensing with the process of deliberation in Parliament while exercising its power to make laws. Earlier in March, the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026, taking away their right to determine their self-perceived gender identity was prepared without consulting stakeholders such as the National Council for Transgender Persons (NCTP) and eventually passed by a voice vote in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, disregarding the objections raised by the opposition parties and the Supreme Court-appointed expert committee on transgender rights. The said bill is violative of the 2014 SC judgment in NALSA v. Union of India that upheld the right of transgender persons to self-identification. The bill was not referred to the Standing or Select Committee for further scrutiny and stakeholder consultations, even after demands were made by the opposition to do so. Now the constitutionality of the law has been challenged in the Supreme Court on the ground that it violates the fundamental rights of the transgender community to define their identities. The passage of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026, providing penal measures for preventing insults to Vande Mataram, was passed in the Lok Sabha with minimal debate that lasted for merely 14 minutes and was hurriedly passed in the Rajya Sabha as well. The importance of deliberation Both the Houses of Parliament, the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, are deliberative chambers, and if Bills are not discussed there before their passage, then the very basis of law-making, anchored in deliberation and scrutiny, gets demolished. While it is important to flag the support of majority members of the ruling party for passing the Bills, it is equally important to underline the legislative intent of the Parliament, which expresses not just the majority principle but also the views which might be contrary to the views of the party in power. Without deliberation, a legislature becomes a forum where voting takes place to pass legislation, bereft of debates backed by public reasoning and persuasive arguments. Without such debates and discussions, laws passed by the legislature by the sheer votes of a majority of MPs would be devoid of robust legislative intent. The legislative authority to enact laws acquires credibility only when it is anchored in the supporting and opposing views through open arguments between the government and the opposition. Deliberation is crucially important for generating legislative intent which underlines the intended purpose sustaining the legislation. The constitutional validity of any statute is assessed by the judiciary not merely by examining its bare provisions but by perusing parliamentary debates, parliamentary committee reports and the statements of the ministers proposing the bill to reconstruct the lawmakers intentions. Ascertaining the purpose of the legislature behind a piece of legislation is essential for all concerned stakeholders, including the citizens on whom the law applies. In a parliamentary democracy, the government is accountable to the legislature, where the executive needs to defend and explain its policies, including the proposed bills, before the opposition and to the public. Article 107 of the Constitution, dealing with provisions regarding the introduction and passing of bills, inter alia, provides, a Bill shall not be deemed to have been passed by the Houses of Parliament unless it has been agreed to by both Houses, either without amendment or with such amendments only as are agreed to by both Houses. The wording of the Article that a Bill shall not be deemed to have been passed by the Houses of Parliament unless it has been agreed to by both Houses is significant in conveying the legislative intent of the Constituent Assembly that the agreement is not to be achieved mechanically by just casting votes but through debates and discussions on Bills. Ambedkar firmly believed that parliamentary democracy is a government of discussion. A Government that legislates by using the Parliament and decides legislation without debate imposes its intent by dispensing with legislative intent. After all, the Bills framed by the Government represent its intent, and only when they are discussed in both the Houses of Parliament does the legislative intent generated by such discussion fine-tune the government intent. Passage of bills without discussion would violate the deliberative and consultative process through which the government is held accountable in the legislature. It is instructive to note that in India, the practice of reasoned and collective negotiation for making laws can be traced to our freedom struggle. Mahatma Gandhi started his first Satyagraha in Champaran in 1917 against the terrible exploitation of farmers of that region, forced by British planters to plant indigo in one third of the fertile portions of their land. Gandhi was denied entry into Champaran to investigate the causes of farmers suffering by British authorities, and on his refusal to leave the place, he was arrested for breach of peace and presented before a magistrate. When he was asked by the magistrate if he pleaded guilty, he not only pleaded guilty but also showed extraordinary courage in submitting to the penalty of disobedience. As the stunned magistrate asked him if he had to plead guilty, why did he violate the law at all? Gandhi boldly replied that he did so ...in obedience to the higher law of our being the voice of conscience. That power of truthful assertion to embrace suffering by breaking an unjust application of law put the British authorities at their wits end, and they dropped all charges against Gandhi and allowed him to investigate the causes behind the suffering of farmers. He then extensively consulted with farmers, British planters, scores of peasants, public figures and officials of the British bureaucracy and police. That deliberative and consultative process enabled him to understand the reasons behind the exploitation of farmers and produce a report to that effect. The British regime used it to frame legislation, the Champaran Agrarian Bill, 1918, to prohibit British planters from coercing farmers to plant indigo. The Bihar-Orissa assembly, where that Bill was introduced for consideration and passage, discussed it briefly and then referred it to its Select Committee for scrutiny and examination. Even a copy of the Bill was sent to Gandhi with a request to examine its contents and suggest amendments to its provisions. He did so, and the British authorities accepted his suggestion that the provision dealing with the summary power of the collectors to act against those filing frivolous complaints against British planters should be dropped. The modified Bill subsequently became the law, bringing an end to the exploitation of farmers. The Champaran Satyagraha, which began with Gandhi admittedly breaking a law for the cause of farmers, ended with the framing of a law by British authorities to put an end to the long spell of suffering of farmers at the hands of British planters. The Champaran Agrarian Act was not just a unilateral decision but an example of how an extremely powerful colonial government was forced to negotiate and deliberate with all the stakeholders. Sadly, during the last decade, this deliberation and negotiation process has not been followed for preparing Bills and enacting them as laws. Benchmark of deliberation in Indian democracy It is important to be mindful of the fact that the Constitution of our country is a product of the thoughtful and careful deliberations that took place in the Constituent Assembly, the transcripts of which serve as the most important authoritative guide to understanding the intention of the drafters of the Constitution. Ambedkar urged the citizens to put their trust in constitutional methods to achieve social and economic objectives. He emphasised the conditions necessary for sustaining democracy not just in form but also in fact. In his speech delivered in Bombay (now Mumbai) on 25th September 1947 at the inauguration of the Siddharth College Parliament, he remarked that in a parliamentary government, the decisions are not the result of the wishes of any particular individual. He proceeded to emphatically add that debate in legislatures is of immense importance and has wider relevance and significance beyond the issue being discussed. In the same speech he said, Although parliamentary democracy for the purpose accepted the principle of a majority rule, do not think that you can by any way you like ill-treat or put to a disadvantage a minority. You will create a great deal of trouble for yourself in this very House. The minority must always be won over. It must never be dictated to. The constitutional methods he urged citizens to follow were also aimed at facilitating reasonable deliberation and consultation to deepen public reasoning so that democracy is deepened and grievances of people are addressed in a peaceful and legitimate manner. A legislature that functions mechanically fails Ambedkar and the constitutional values in which he believed. It is worthwhile to recall that on many occasions the Supreme Court, while adjudicating the constitutional validity of the statutes, finds it hard to understand the intention of the legislature which gave its approval when those were presented in the form of bills to it for consideration and passage. In an event marking the 75 years of Parliamentary Democracy at the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly in July 2022, the then Chief Justice N.V. Ramana stated that the country was witnessing laws being passed without detailed deliberation and scrutiny. He further stated that instead of engaging in meaningful debates for furthering democracy, politics has become acrimonious. The diversity of opinion enriches polity and society. Political opposition should not translate into hostility, which we are sadly witnessing these days. These are not signs of a healthy democracy. It is becoming harder for the judiciary to trace the legislative intent for the enactments being passed without detailed scrutiny or discussion. The judiciarys burden of interpretation, as stated by Justice N.V. Ramana, is increasing as there is ambiguity in laws and the legislative intent is unclear. In the case of Anoop Barnwal v. Union of India (2023), the Supreme Court, factoring in the legislative intent of the Constituent Assembly for establishing an Election Commission of India independent of the executive, directed that the appointment of the Chief Election Commissioner (ECI) and Election Commissioners (ECs) shall be made by the President in consultation with a committee consisting of the Prime Minister, Leader of Opposition and the Chief Justice of India. The same year after the SC judgment, the Parliament enacted the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners (Appointments, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023. It replaced the Chief Justice on the Selection Committee with a Union Cabinet Minister nominated by the Prime Minister. This legislation was enacted with limited public deliberation and its constitutional validity has been challenged in the apex court, as it allegedly gives control of the appointment of the CEC and ECs back to the executive, diluting the judgment in Anoop Barnwal v. Union of India, wherein the invocation of the legislative intent of the Constituent Assembly was defended by the learned judges by quoting from the SC judgment in His Holiness Kesavananda Bharati Sripadagalvaru v. State of Kerala . It was stated by the SC in the Kesavananda Bharati judgment that : If the debates in the Constituent Assembly can be looked into to understand the legislative history of a provision of the Constitution including its derivation, that is, the various steps leading up to and attending its enactment, to ascertain the intention of the makers of the Constitution, it is difficult to see why the debates are inadmissible to throw light on the purpose and general intent of the provision. After all, legislative history only tends to reveal the legislative purpose in enacting the provision and thereby sheds light upon legislative intent. It would be drawing an invisible distinction if resort to debates is permitted simply to show the legislative history and the same is not allowed to show the legislative intent Multiple studies and research have shown that parliamentary deliberation has almost been abandoned. Surely, the NDA government has not uniquely abandoned the practice of parliamentary deliberation, but it definitely has deepened it. The legislature has the responsibility of representing the people and keeping the government in check. Under this current regime, the legislature has slowly started to be treated like a mouthpiece for the government, with multiple laws being passed without deliberation. Lack of deliberation and the control of the executive over Parliament have made the functioning of the legislature a means to give a stamp of approval to what the government does. The problem is structural as well; multiple powers have been given to the government, such as summoning Parliament, deciding the agenda and the functions of Parliament and also referring bills to the standing committees. In such a situation where the executive gains control over important matters, parliamentary deliberation becomes of utmost importance. The executive that treats debate in Parliament as optional or as a formality rather than a constitutional mandate for passing bills risks wiping out the legislative intent that the judiciary and the citizens rely upon to understand the reasoning of the legislature behind the enactments of law. Ambedkar and the members of the Constituent Assembly spent 165 days deliberating every single Article, clause and word of the Constitution. In a democracy, the legitimacy of law lies not only with the majority that enacts it but also with the reasoning behind it. For the judiciary to interpret laws by factoring in the legislative intent behind statutes and for the citizens to hold their representatives accountable, recovering the discipline of deliberation is extremely crucial. The balance of powers needs to be maintained between the executive and the legislature. The decline in the process of parliamentary debate in India has significantly contributed to an increase in the authoritative nature of this government, which imperils the Constitution. Thankfully, people are now at the forefront to save it, and therefore, the powers that be must act in tune with peoples unbending bravery in defence of the constitutional scheme of governance based on deliberation and consultation.

Puducherry gears up for hosting star-studded India A-Australia A multi-format games
Digital Desk | Puducherry, Sep 19 (IANS) The coastal city of Puducherry is gearing up for a star-studded series when India A take on Australia A in two unofficial four-day red-ball matches, followed by three one-dayers to be played at the picturesque CAP-Siechem Stadium. Since becoming a full member of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2019, the Cricket Association of Pondicherry (CAP) has hosted under-19 international matches. But this will be its first time staging an entire A series, with notable international stars featured in both line-ups. The first unofficial Test will be played from September 22 to 25, while the second game will take place from September 29 to October 2. The three one-dayers will be held on October 6, 9 and 11 respectively. Both teams trained at the ground on Saturday. Peter Handscomb and Ashes-winning pacer Brendan Doggett, along with Jhye Richardson, headline a strong 15-man Australia A squad for the multi-day component, while Mahli Beardman and Spencer Johnson add considerable firepower to the squad picked for the subsequent 50-over games. Test batters, captain Devdutt Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan, who is returning from a right toe injury, feature in both formats for India A. Other capped players in the red-ball India A side include Tushar Deshpande and Anshul Kamboj, with Tripurana Vijay set to replace the injured Vijaykumar Vyshak in the line-up. In the run-up to the matches, India A had a preparatory camp at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Star seam-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has been out of action since IPL 2026 due to various injuries, has been picked for the limited-overs series, with his inclusion subject to fitness clearance. This is a great opportunity for young Puducherry cricketers to witness live international cricket up close and draw inspiration from these players. The series is also a chance to showcase our world-class cricket facility to a global audience, said P Damodaren, founder of the Cricket Association of Pondicherry, in a statement. Spectators can contact the CAP office for tickets, according to CEO Mayank Mehta. The main stadium has a seating capacity of 5000, and we look forward to a considerable turnout, he added.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 19 (IANS) Intelligence officials have sounded a serious warning over a low-cost psychological warfare campaign allegedly launched by Pakistans Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), targeting Indian citizens, public officials and security personnel through doxxing, harassment and online intimidation. The ISI allegedly designed the strategy to exploit social media to create fear, spread panic, and undermine confidence among those targeted. Pakistans intelligence agency is actively recruiting youth and deploying hackers to extract personal data, including phone numbers, physical locations, photographs, and bank details of random individuals across the country. Doxxing is the new weapon of the ISI, and the agency is spending a good amount of time and money recruiting youth to gather personal information about random people, a senior official stated. Such information would be posted online with threat messages, and the ISI intends to do the same on a big way in many parts of the country, the official added. An Intelligence Bureau official said that this is part of the propaganda warfare that the ISI has undertaken in India. While propaganda against the state is one part of the plan, the other is to put out threat messages to random people by uploading their personal information and photograph online, the official said. What looks like mischief is actually part of a larger psychological warfare intended to scare the people of India, the Intelligence Bureau official said. The very fact that a persons personal details and phone numbers are uploaded online with a message is enough to drive panic, the official added Another official said that the ISI plans to gather information on Indians using various methods, adding that it has been recruiting persons to gather personal information and photographs. The other method it has been using is through hacking into personal data. The hacking method is used to go a step further and gather information relating to bank accounts. This information is also intended to be put out in public view, the official added. Doxxing was a method adopted by the ISI first in Jammu and Kashmir. This was initially used to target the Kashmiri Pandits. The focus then shifted to the migrant workers. The ISI wanted to create an atmosphere of fear in Jammu and Kashmir. Now it wants to implement the same playbook across the country, officials say. Officials say that Pakistan has realised that it cannot win a conventional battle with India. Post Operation Sindoor, a lot has changed, and even terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir have been largely halted. The creation of home-grown modules has not gone as per plan for the ISI as of now. This has led to Pakistan getting frustrated. With multiple attempts to ignite terror in India failing, Pakistan is now making a complete shift to propaganda and psychological warfare in India. These are low-cost operations and hardly require any planning. Random people have been appointed to gather personal information so that it can be posted online. Officials say that doxxing would not just be limited to the common man. The Pakistanis would use the same tactic on law enforcement and military officials, journalists, researchers, and public officials. While targeting such individuals, the intention is not just to create fear and panic. Targeting these persons is aimed at discouraging them from exposing ISI-led activities and the ongoing investigations into acts of terror sponsored by Pakistan. Overall, the idea is to create an atmosphere of fear. The ISI was successful in creating such an atmosphere in Jammu and Kashmir by doxxing Kashmiri Pandits and migrant workers. Now it wants to widen the ambit by implementing this tactic across the country, an official said.

Eyes will also turn to the shooting arena, where the Indian women will be in action in the 10m air rifle events. Elavenil Valarivan, Sonam Uttam Maskar, and Vidarsa K Vinod will be vying for a strong showing for India.

Asian Games: India men aim to defend hockey gold, women look to carry momentum
Digital Desk | Kakamigahara, Sep 19 (IANS) The Indian men's and women's hockey teams will kick off their respective campaigns at the Asian Games 2026 on Sunday, seeking strong results after contrasting World Cup performances. The Indian men's team, pitted in Pool A, will start their gold-medal defence against Indonesia at the Gifu Prefectural Green Stadium in Kakamigahara after a lowly eighth-place finish in the World Cup 2026. The women's team will be in action against Uzbekistan at the same venue in its opening Pool B outing after a strong World Cup campaign. There is an added incentive for the sport at the Asian Games, with gold medal winners securing their tickets for the 2028 Olympics, a prospect that will be in mind for both the Harmanpreet Singh-led men's and Salima Tete-led women's sides. The Indian men's team could not progress to the semifinals in the recent World Cup and finished a disappointing eighth, as they look to iron out the flaws from that campaign at the Asiad, with coach Craig Fulton highlighting the same. These are lessons, and the only way to treat them as lessons learned is to turn that learning into action. That's what we've got to do now. We've discussed everything, gone through everything and highlighted areas needing improvement. At the same time, it's now about action, said Fulton, as quoted by Hockey India. Indian men are four-time gold medallists at the continental showpiece, having won the yellow metal in 1966, 1998, 2014 and 2022. They are also the reigning two-time Olympic bronze medallists and would like to secure a ticket for the Los Angeles Games as soon as possible. They are placed in Pool A alongside Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and will face tests against fellow four-time gold winners South Korea and 2018 champions Japan. The Indian women will be looking to carry forward the momentum from the 2026 World Cup, where they secured their best finish in 52 years by finishing fifth, despite not making it to the semi-finals. India women's coach Marijne reflected on the World Cup campaign but has now kept his focus on the Asiad. We did something remarkable and historical, but we have to move on to the next tournament You have to close a chapter before you move to the next one, said Marijne. The women's team won its only gold at the 1982 Asiad and has a recent bronze from the Hangzhou 2023 Games. They also achieved a historic fourth place at the 2020 Olympics but failed to qualify for the 2024 Paris Games. An Olympic qualification will be a priority for India's women, but they will face tough competition from China, who are four-time gold medallists, the defending Asian Games champion, and the reigning Olympic silver medallists. The Indian women's team is placed in Pool B alongside Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan and Singapore. When will the Indian men's and women's team play their openers? The Indian womens team will be in action against Uzbekistan on Sunday at 7:30 AM IST at the Gifu Prefectural Green Stadium. The men's team will face Indonesia in their Pool A opener on Sunday at 11:30 AM IST at the Gifu Prefectural Green Stadium.

India accounts for nearly 20 pc of world's semiconductor design workforce: IT Secretary
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 19 (IANS) India currently accounts for nearly 20 per cent of the world's semiconductor design workforce and the government has placed substantial emphasis on design talent, with an ongoing programme to train approximately 85,000 design engineers, IT Secretary S. Krishnan said on Saturday. Speaking to IANS on the sidelines of the SEMICON India 2026 here, he said that the government will prioritise all dimensions of skill development, with a strong focus on semiconductor manufacturing. In the chip design domain, a massive talent pool is already skilled, Krishnan mentioned. He further stated that as far as investments and proposals at the SEMICON India are concerned, each will be analysed very thoroughly and carefully because a significant government incentive amount is involved. Since public money is involved, we can commit incentives only after properly evaluating every proposal. Numerous large domestic and multinational companies are very keen to invest in this sector. This interest is driven by two key factors: their confidence in India's talent pool, and the stability and strong support provided by policy, said Krishnan. Because of these reasons, a large number of companies and investors want to enter India and invest here. We will actively encourage them and work closely alongside them, the IT Secretary mentioned. Ashok Chandak, President of SEMI India-IESA, said that the event saw 12,000 visitors on day one, 16,000 on day two, and the momentum continues. This includes the early career engineering pool as well as the student community. On day one, we had a large number of students. This clearly indicates a strong desire to gain knowledge and understanding about the semiconductor sector in the student community, Chandak told IANS. He further stated that there has been a strong participation by Asian countries. We have participation from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. There are a few visitors from Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand as well. This shows a strong interest of these countries and companies to work together with their Indian counterparts, Chandak said.
