Rahul Gandhi blames Centre for tragic loss of 2 students over NEET re-examination
New Delhi [India], June 17 : In a commencement to his nationwide Echo of Students campaign, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Wednesday addressed the issues regarding the re-examination of NEET after the alleged suicide of two aspirants in Sikar and Dehradun. In a message shared on the social media platform X, Gandhi mourned the recent tragic loss of two young lives--Umesh in Sikar and Riya in Dehradun--who died allegedly by suicide amid the pressure surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination. I've set out for Kota, but two names are echoing in my heart: Umesh and Riya. Yesterday, Umesh in Sikar and Riya in Dehradun--both ended their lives under the pressure of Re-NEET. 22- and 23-year-old kids--who were meant to soar in the open skies of their dreams--lost to this unjust system, Gandhi said. Calling the deaths, a result of an unjust, broken, and corrupt system that has failed to protect its youth, Gandhi launched a sharp attack on the Union government. These deaths are the result of a broken, corrupt system. And the ones responsible are the Modi government and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who, instead of protecting students, have repeatedly shielded paper leaks, exam mismanagement, and the destroyers of futures, he added. He further said he would begin a campaign from Kota aimed at preventing such incidents and called for a nationwide movement under the banner of Echo of Students. Today, from Kota, we will begin that fight with just one goal--that no child's dreams shatter like this again, that no parent ever has to lose their child in this way again. Every family's pain will now echo across the country as the 'Echo of Students.' Previously in the day, Gandhi called on students and young people across the country to unite and participate in the Echo of Students mega rally in Kota on June 17, saying that the future of the youth would determine the future of the nation. The protest is going to start at 5:30 pm in Kota. In a post on X, Gandhi alleged that paper leaks, exam mismanagement, cancelled recruitments, rising fees, privatisation and scams were shattering the dreams of millions of young Indians. He also accused the Central government of failing to fulfil its responsibility towards the country's youth. My young and Gen Z comrades, one thing is clear in my mind, and you too should etch it in your heart: securing the future of every youth in India is the government's responsibility. But responsibility and honesty--both are beyond the Modi government's way of thinking, Gandhi said. Paper leaks, exam mismanagement, cancelled recruitments, skyrocketing fees, privatisation, scams--these are the very tools with which it is shattering millions of dreams every day. Remember, the youth's future will determine the nation's future. This is what I wanted to tell you all in detail. That's why I'm calling on you--let's turn the rising 'Echo of Students' from every street, every town, every city of the country into a battle cry in Kota.

IBA Highlights Beverage Industry's Growing Role in Waste Management and Recycling
Moving fast towards becoming a USD 40 billion market by 2030, Indian non-alcoholic beverage industry has taken up the responsibility of ensuring effective waste management as its core operational strategy and is championing the need and necessity of sustainable business by not only meeting the compliance requirements set by the government agencies but by going beyond and planning for the future. C K Jaipuria, President, Indian Beverage Association (IBA) Outlining the industry’s initiative and focus on sustainable development, President of the Indian Beverage Association (IBA), Mr. C K Jaipuria said, “ Driven by the strict mandates under India's amended Plastic Waste Management Rules and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) targets requiring 100% recovery and recycling – the industry is constantly working on driving unprecedented efficiency in the circular economy. The three core pillars to optimize waste management are -- lightweight engineering, institutionalized digital collection networks, and the fast-tracked adoption of Food-Grade Recycled PET (r-PET) .” “ The most efficient way to manage waste is to rationalize material entering the ecosystem in the first place. In this regard, Indian bottling giants have engineered aggressive material reduction programs at the production level ,” added Mr. Jaipuria . The stress on preforming optimization has led to refinement in injection-molding technology, which has allowed companies to reduce the weight of standard PET preforms by 10% to 20% across high-volume packs ranging from 600ml to 2.25L. “ Along with this, the closure downsizing is leading to the neck profiles and plastic cap closures for Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD), juices, and packaged water witnessing weight reductions of 20% to 25%, which is significantly curbing upstream raw polymer consumption ,” said Mr. Jaipuria. The IBA President further outlined that, “ The urgency of meeting the central government's scaling EPR targets has been taken up by the beverage industry in the form of formalizing India’s historically fragmented, informal waste-picking ecosystem. This has been catalysed by the Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) and the industry leaders are executing nationwide reclamation strategies via deep joint ventures with specialized PROs such as GEM Enviro and Saahas Zero Waste .” This socio-economic formalization through these networks is systematically mapping and incentivizing thousands of local kabadiwalas and waste-pickers. By offering guaranteed buy-back pricing, digital weight verification, and direct-benefit payouts, the system is guaranteeing a high-velocity, clean inflow of post-consumer waste. Adoption of technology through data intelligence platforms by utilizing specialized circular economy platforms like Race Eco Chain and Banyan Nation, beverage brands now track plastic waste digitally from the initial collection point to the processing mill, generating audit-ready, CPCB-compliant (Central Pollution Control Board) plastic credits with absolute traceability. Mr. Jaipuria added that while the above measures are streamlining the waste management efforts, the goal of the industry and the committed efficiency drive is to transition from downcycling --- turning bottles into low-value textile fibers -- to a true bottle-to-bottle circular economy. “ In this backdrop, to enhance availability of food-grade r-PET access, major players have established large-scale joint ventures with global polymer processors like Indorama to set up advanced washing and resin-manufacturing units. This has unlocked the massive commercial rollout of 100% recycled PET bottles for select flagship product lines, with industry-wide targets aiming for 30% r-PET integration across core portfolios ,” he said. Another step is to bring in sustainable multi-layer cartons for non-carbonated segments and major packaging partners such as Tetra Pak have integrated certified recycled polymers into their multi-layer carton lines in India, which is successfully matching strict FSSAI food-safety standards while mitigating multi-layered plastic disposal challenges. The efficiency metrics are no doubt climbing, but maintaining this momentum requires mitigation of two critical challenges, said Mr. Jaipuria. “ First is the Quality-Grade Deficit. It needs to be understood that producing food-grade r-PET requires highly efficient and pure post-consumer collection streams. The hard reality is if the plastic is contaminated at the municipal dumping stage, it loses its structural integrity for bottle-to-bottle recycling. The industry needs to invest deeper in source-segregation awareness and smart collection kiosks at the consumer touchpoint, and it requires local government and consumers’ support to achieve this objective ,” he added. According to the IBA President, above all, navigating state-level disparities adds to unnecessary hassle and compliance burden. “ While the central CPCB portal provides a unified framework, actual municipal infrastructure and waste-handling fees vary drastically across states. Beverage manufacturers need standardized, single-window municipal access frameworks to optimize their reverse-logistics networks across differing geographies .” “ The Indian non-alcoholic beverage industry is marching ahead and taking the lead in the waste management march under the sustainable growth paradigm with full understanding that the effort will gain further momentum with the support of all the stakeholders – consumers, government and civil society ,” said Mr. Jaipuria .

He stressed that sustained efforts are essential to maintain momentum and achieve the national goal of eliminating tuberculosis. The Commissioner Secretary, H&ME, M.Raju took this occasion to present the detailed overview of the achievements, challenges and future action plans under the TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan being implemented across the districts of J&K. The Commissioner Secretary apprised the meeting that Jammu & Kashmir has emerged as one of the best performing regions in the country under the ongoing 100-Day TB Mukt Bharat Campaign, securing 2nd rank among States and Union Territories under Phase-II of the national campaign launched on March 24, 2026. The Chief Secretary was apprised that J&K has achieved notable success in several critical indicators, including vulnerable population screening, presumptive TB testing, TB notification, drug-resistant TB detection, differentiated TB care, nutritional support and community participation through Nikshay Mitras. The MD, NHM, Akriti Sagar presented that over 2.45 lakh vulnerable individuals have been screened during the ongoing campaign, while 70 percent of the enrolled vulnerable population has undergone X-ray examination, surpassing the national benchmark. She further added that the UT has also recorded 90 percent utilisation of NAAT-based molecular diagnostic testing, ensuring faster and more accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis cases. The review further revealed that J&K has maintained strong performance in TB case detection, with 4,472 TB cases notified during the first five months of 2026, representing about 40 percent of the annual target. The programme has also strengthened presumptive TB testing, recording over 2.52 lakh tests across the Union Territory during the current year. It was noted that more than 2,100 TB patients have received Poshan Kits during the current year under community support initiatives, while the number of registered Nikshay Mitras has increased to over 13,100 reflecting growing societal participation in supporting TB patients. The Chief Secretary was informed that 1,504 TB patients have been assessed under Differentiated TB Care, ensuring personalised treatment and management based on disease severity and associated vulnerabilities. Moreover, it was highlighted that significant improvement has also been registered in TB Preventive Treatment (TPT) coverage, which increased from 7 percent during Phase-I to 34 percent during Phase-II, indicating better protection of household contacts and other high-risk groups from developing active tuberculosis. Emphasising that tuberculosis elimination requires a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach, he urged all departments, district administrations, civil society organisations and volunteers to actively contribute towards the goal of making Jammu & Kashmir TB-Mukht in the days to come.
