NVIDIA shows off its first Blackwell wafer manufactured in the US
NVIDIA has taken a big step towards strengthening its domestic chip manufacturing, revealing the first Blackwell wafer made in the US. The hardware company assembled the wafer, which is the base material for NVIDIA's AI chips, in TSMC's semiconductor manufacturing facility in Phoenix, Arizona. NVIDIA revealed its Blackwell platform last year, boasting a goal of revolutionizing the AI industry through tech giants like Amazon, Google, OpenAI and others who already committed to adopting the next-gen architecture. NVIDIA said the latest platform was more powerful and translated to 25x less cost and energy consumption compared to its predecessor. Now that Blackwell wafers can be made at the TSMC plant, NVIDIA can better insulate itself from the ever-evolving tariff situation and geopolitical tensions. Its the very first time in recent American history that the single most important chip is being manufactured here in the United States by the most advanced fab, by TSMC, here in the United States, Jensen Huang, NVIDIA's founder and CEO, said at the celebration event. With NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture ready for the volume production stage, the company is still working on expanding its manufacturing footprint across the US. Earlier this year, NVIDIA said it had plans to funnel half a trillion dollars towards building AI infrastructure in the US through partnerships with TSMC, Foxconn and other companies.

Defence Minister inaugurates critical defence and aerospace materials Plant in Lucknow
NEW DELHI: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday inaugurated one of the first Titanium and Superalloy Materials Plants at PTC Industries' Strategic Materials Technology Complex in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Rajnath Singh reiterated that India would acquire true strength only when it can manufacture its own materials, components, chips, and alloys. India must produce rare materials used in defence and aerospace to become a technology creator and safeguard its technological sovereignty, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Emphasizing the importance of Rare Earth Materials used in defence, space, electronics, and other sectors, the Defence Minister noted that only certain countries have the capacity to refine these materials and make high-end products. He stated that this new plant puts India amongst a select group of nations which can make their own critical defence and aerospace materials. With this, we will be able to manufacture the parts used in our fighter jets, missiles, naval systems, and satellites, he said. In this context, he said the inaugurated plant, which is one of the first private sector manufacturing units to make aero-engine components and superalloy components, will go a long way in helping India produce rare materials. Rajnath Singh says 'every inch of Pakistan' in BrahMos range, calls Op Sindoor 'just a trailer' The Defence Minister noted that, in the past, India had been dependent on other countries for the advanced materials and critical technologies needed for defence and aerospace, thereby slowing the growth of the defence sector, and that initiatives such as the Titanium and Superalloy Materials Plant indicate a reversal of this trend. The Defence Minister stressed that while technology is power, material is the real strength, adding that be it a semiconductor chip, bullet material, or engine turbine part, none is possible without strategic materials. We are building a foundation which will strengthen India's technological sovereignty in the coming years, he added. Calling the plant a living example of Atma Nirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India), Rajnath Singh said this type of facility would benefit not only the industry but society at large. It establishes an innovation chain that will fulfill the goal of Aatmanirbhar Bharat in the defence sector and give fresh momentum to the state economy, he said. On the Strategic Materials Technology Complex, the Defence Minister expressed confidence that it adds a new dimension to the industrial map of Uttar Pradesh. He said that the complex, along with ancillary units and supplier industries, will create direct and indirect job opportunities in the state itself. He added that the UP Defence Industrial Corridor will be amongst the most advanced manufacturing zones in Asia, connecting to several start-ups and MSMEs, which will provide jobs to youth and opportunities for training and technical experience. Hailing India's changed mindset today, the Defence Minister said, We are entering a new era and have moved beyond Make-in-India to Design, Develop and Deliver in India. He also noted the prominent role played by the private sector in defence production and research, exuding confidence that if the industry and the government work together, any goal is possible. Earlier, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh took a tour of the Strategic Materials Technology Complex, accompanied by UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Chairman DRDO Dr. Samir V. Kamat, and DG (BrahMos) Dr. Jaytirth R. Joshi. The Defence Minister and the dignitaries were briefed on the complex facilities by Chairman and Managing Director, PTC Industries, Sachin Agarwal. An MoU was also signed between PTC Industries Limited and Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) to form a joint venture for the design, development, and manufacture of propulsion systems, guided bombs, and small aero-engines for missiles, UAVs, and loitering munitions. As per the Ministry of Defence, The collaboration aims to leverage the complementary strengths of both organizations and accelerate the indigenization of advanced propulsion technologies, reducing dependence on imports and strengthening India's defence manufacturing base. Additionally, PTC Industries received a Letter of Technical Acceptance (LoTA) from the Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification (CEMILAC), under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), for the indigenous development and manufacture of the Titanium Rear Fin Root Casting for the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) program. Developed in collaboration with the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL) and the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), this achievement marks a critical advancement in India's indigenous capability to produce structural castings for next-generation fighter aircraft. PTC Industries also received a Letter of Technical Acceptance (LoTA) from CEMILAC, DRDO, for the indigenous development and manufacture of Oil Tank Assembly Titanium Castings for the Kaveri Derivative Engine (KDE-2). This will be executed in partnership with the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE). Furthering its collaboration with GTRE, PTC Industries also received a Purchase Order for Post-Cast Operations to manufacture Single Crystal 'Ready-to-Fit' Turbine Blades for the Kaveri Derivative Engine (KDE-2). This achievement marks an important step in India's capability to produce single-crystal turbine blades, one of the most complex and high-value components in modern jet engines. Spread over 50 acres, the Strategic Materials Technology Complex has been established with an investment of Rs. 1,000 crore. With a production capacity of over 6,000 tonnes per annum, this plant enables India to produce aviation-grade Titanium and Superalloys from domestic and recycled sources, a decisive move towards strategic materials independence, the MoD said.

One of our favorite budgeting apps has 50 percent off annual plans right now
Those looking for a better way to keep track of their finances should consider a budgeting app .

Monarch Money is offering 50 percent off annual plans right now when you use the code MONARCHVIP at checkout. With the typical yearly price being $100, this will save you $50. As mentioned before, the discount is only for new users and it can't be combined with other offers. The code only works when you sign up through the web as well. You can't redeem it through the Monarch mobile app. We feel that Monarch has a steeper learning curve than some other budget trackers and that certain aspects of the app are slightly more complex than they probably need to be. But it offers a great deal of customization and granularity , which outweighs our misgivings. On the main dashboard, you'll see your net worth along with your latest transactions, spending versus the previous month, your income so far for the month and details about upcoming bills, your investments and goals you've set. There's also a link to a month-in-review page, which offers an in-depth overview of what's been happening with your money that month.

IUMLs secularism claim is political comedy, says Vellappally Natesan
ALAPPUZHA: In a scathing attack that could precipitate communal polarisation ahead of the crucial elections to local bodies and the state assembly, SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan has termed the IUMLs claim of secularism as one of the greatest political comedies in Keralas history. In an editorial titled The Secular Facade of the Muslim League published in Yoganadam, the SNDPs official organ, Vellappally accused the IUML of spreading communal hatred, and said its true desire was to make Kerala a theocratic state. No other political outfit in the state is as deeply rooted in religious identity as the IUML, Vellappally said, adding that the partys primary concern has always been the safeguarding of Muslim interests rather than the welfare of all citizens. He said the IUML continues to follow in the path of the All India Muslim League, which played a pivotal role in the partition of the country. Acknowledging that the party has had humane leaders in the past, he said the current generations secularism is a mere coat of paint that fades with the first drop of rain. Taking a swipe at IUML leader K M Shaji, he said it was hard not to laugh at the so-called secular speeches delivered by such leaders. He alleged that some IUML members live a dual life, acting as League members by day and Popular Front of India (PFI) members by night. Vellappally also criticised the IUMLs move to field a handful of SC candidates in assembly elections, terming it a secular showpiece tactic as Muslims cannot contest from reserved constituencies. Accusing the IUML of spreading communal hatred, Vellappally said speeches by leaders like Shaji exposed the partys hypocrisy. Those who raise concerns about the injustices faced by the majority and marginalised communities are often branded as communalists, while the real divisive politics is being played by the IUML and its allies, he alleged. The Leagues current political goal is to recapture power and recover what it perceives as the communitys losses over the last decade, while also tightening its control over aided and unaided educational institutions, Vellappally said. Recalling that the IUML originated from the Malabar region, the centre of the 1921 rebellion, Vellappally criticised the party for its silence on sensitive social issues, from the hijab controversy to changes in school timings. Those who label others as communal should realise they themselves are immersed neck-deep in sectarianism, he said. This is the same Muslim League that Jawaharlal Nehru once termed a dead horse, he added.

Mental health film festival set to happen in Bengaluru
Once only addressed in hushed tones and allusions, conversations about mental health have increasingly become more open over the last decade. Manotsava National Mental Health Festival by Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies (RNP), National Centre for Biological Sciences and NIMHANS, which aims to bridge the gap between mental health research and regular people, is taking things a step further by organising a film festival ahead of this years edition. Titled Screening the Mind, the festival will highlight stories of lived experience and mental illness caregiving, survival, hope, and triumph, in the words of Natasha Joshi, Chief of Strategy at RNP. While panel discussions and fire side chats are a staple and have their importance, films can do something that simply receiving information cannot evoke connection. Joshi says, You get time to build nuances and bring in perspectives which are harder to access at mainstream festivals. In todays world of watching everything alone by yourself at home, its really important to bring people together, synchronise your biorhythms as youre going through the same emotions and then when the lights come on, have a conversation and see everybody else who has participated in this empathetic experience with you. The festival will feature six films with the critically-acclaimed Kalki Koechlin-starrer Margarita with a Straw , about a young woman with cerebral palsys coming of age, as the concluding film. We wanted to have diversity in terms of language and regions, so you will see that reflected in the films, says Joshi, adding, We also looked at how thoughtfully and accurately the film has dealt with the theme (of mental health) and tried to pick films focusing on different angles of mental wellness. For example, Dhoosar is a very good film about Alzheimers and looks at the afflicted person but also the people around them. Invisible Chains too, talks about drug use and substance dependence from the users perspective. The other three films include Swagatam following a young couple navigating the husbands schizophrenia, Khidki featuring Naseeruddin Shah as an elderly man whose closest relationship is with the world from his window, and Enso portraying a father and daughter navigating the trauma of loss. The goal, with Manotsava (happening on Nov 8 and 9 at The Lalit Ashok, Seshadripuram) , is to reach the general population who may not be aware of mental health issues and connect with them about issues they may be experiencing. We are highlighting topics like parenting, teenagers and screens, burnout in the workplace, maternal mental health, says Joshi. She adds, Different people will pick up on different things but hopefully, if there are issues they are grappling with, they will feel empowered to dialogue with whoever is in their life and improve their wellbeing through that. (Screening the Mind will take place on October 19 from 11am at Bangalore International Centre, Domlur. Register at bangaloreinternationalcentre.org)

Nintendo reportedly wants to build 25 million Switch 2s by March 2026
Nintendo has asked suppliers to build 25 million Switch 2 console by the end of March 2026, Bloomberg reported. According to people familiar with the matter, the company has requested the boost because it believes the console will continue its torrid sales pace through the holiday season. Nintendo could easily exceed its own forecast of 15 million Switch 2 units sold within its first fiscal year (ending March 30, 2026) and beat first year sales of the original Switch, which was the fastest selling console of all time. If sales pan out as it expects, Nintendo could sell around 20 million Switch 2 units this fiscal year, according to the report. The 25 million production goal would allow it to satisfy sales demand and have enough in inventory to start the next fiscal year. The original Switch sold 17.79 million units in its first 13 months, so the Switch 2 could exceed that over a considerably shorter time frame. As a reminder, Switch 2 pre-orders started in April 2025 and the global release was on June 5 , so it only started shipping four and a half months ago. Despite fears over tariffs, Switch 2 sales in the US are way ahead of the original Switch at the same time frame, according to market researcher Circana . During its last earnings report , the company said it had also sold 8.67 million Switch 2 games along with 24.4 million games designed for the original Switch, thanks in part to the new console's backward compatibility. Game sales should get a further boost with the launch of Pokmon Legends: Z-A coming later this month.

Star-studded DP World India Championships Is Just The Beginning, Says Yuvraj Narain
The DP World India Championship: Golf in India has never seen excitement. There was an undeniable buzz a decade ago, when Tiger Woods came to India in 2014. This time around, the buzz is even bigger as Rory McIlroy, the latest Grand Slam achiever and the newest owner of golfs biggest prize the Green Jacket - opened his DP India Championship campaign on his first visit to India. Standing in an eye-catching and expansive two-tiered balcony overlooking the 18th green, Yuvraj Narain, the Deputy CEO and Chief Financial Officer of DP World, was watching McIlroy come down the fairway. He remarked, Every sport needs a trigger to capture peoples imagination. The DP World India Championship is exactly that. When young Indians see Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood or Viktor Hovland competing on their home soil, it plants the seed for a lifelong connection with the game. He added, We believe golf is ready to take its place on the Indian sporting stage. For too long it has been viewed as an elite pursuit, but that perception is changing. By bringing the best players in the world here, we can inspire young Indians to see golf as a sport for everyone, one that reflects Indias global ambition. His company, DP World, is the umbrella sponsors of the Tour itself, and already backs the season-ending DP World Tour Championships in Dubai. Now they have added the DP World India Championship to that burgeoning portfolio. Narain added, India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, supported by a dynamic, young population. Sport is becoming a defining part of daily life here, and even small steps can make a big difference. Our goal is to create opportunities across different sports that encourage healthy, active lifestyles and inspire the next generation. DP World has already been a part of the Indian sports ecosystem with its big presence in the Indian Premier League and their association with Sachin Tendulkar. Narain feels it is now time for golf to come in. He makes it clear that none of their associations are short-term. It is not for a few years, we invest with a long-term vision. The DP World India Championships and many other golf commitments that the company has unveiled like an association with Zen Academy, which nurtures young golfers, are all with a larger vision. He emphasised, In the long run, this is just the beginning. India has the scale, enthusiasm, and capability to host multiple world-class tournaments. We see this event as the start of something much bigger, a spark that can attract greater investment and create more opportunities for Indian golf. At DP World, we are in the business of creating world-class supply-chain infrastructure, connecting India within itself and connecting India to the rest of the world. Through golf, were taking that same philosophy of connection and applying it to communities, creating pathways that link people, opportunity, and progress.

Womens World Cup: Very Difficult To Play With One Less Batter Against England, Says Anjum Chopra
ODI World Cup: Former India captain Anjum Chopra believes it will be very difficult for the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side to make one of the batters sit out of the crucial 2025 Womens ODI World Cup clash against England, set to take place at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday. With losses to South Africa and Australia in Visakhapatnam, hosts India are currently at fourth place in the points table with four points. They must win at least two of their next three league games against England, New Zealand and Bangladesh to have a chance at making the semifinals. Anjum also feels that if one of the batters is sidelined, then seam-bowling all-rounder Arundhati Reddy could come into the playing eleven. I'll be surprised if they make a change and I'll be more surprised if they don't - so it's like that. Its because I understand, for them, it will be a very difficult call to make one of the batters sit out or miss the game. Everyone has tried their best the openers got a 155-run opening partnership against Australia, which was pretty much chanceless. Then your number three, Harleen Deol, played very good and crucial knocks in all three games. In fact, even in the game against Australia, she got onto the moving bus very quickly. With Harman, Richa, and Jemi there, I mean, it will be a very difficult call. But as I say, I'll be surprised if they make a change. At the same time, I'll be very surprised if they don't. So I will feel that Arundhati Reddy might just come in, said Anjum in an exclusive conversation with IANS. Meanwhile, England have to win over India, Australia and New Zealand to enter the semi-finals. Nat Sciver-Brunt led-side is yet to lose a game in the competition, and survived a major scare against Pakistan being kept to 133/9 in 31 overs before rain ensured the game ended in a washout in Colombo. I guess they've played very basic cricket. That first game against South Africa, bowling them out for 69, just provided them the perfect start to a World Cup. For a team coming in with a lot of expectations, with the middle order not firing at their best, their bowlers got time to get acclimatized. Also, because that first game was such a good win for England, and that gave them a morale boost, time and everything to settle in. From there on, how they've done well, again, look at the fact that it's not been those 300 kind of runs that England has managed to get. It's been a solid Nat Sciver-Brunt innings against Sri Lanka and a bailout by Heather Knight's innings against Bangladesh. So they have their own challenges that they're facing, but the results are going their way. In terms of bowling, obviously, every team has more bowling options than India and they go in with that. But results have been going England's way rather than the opposition's way. That Bangladesh game I was there watching, and it was definitely the closest which I feel has been played out by England in recent years, she added. The Holkar Stadium has hosted two World Cup games so far, with Australia successfully defending 327 against England and South Africa chasing down 232 easily. Anjum signed off by saying the India-England game could be a run-fest for an expected sellout crowd. Over the years, it's been a good batting surface. There have been some very good games hosted at the Holkar Stadium. India-England obviously promises to be another big game, so hopefully, a sellout, like it was almost a sellout in Vizag. I expect that it will be a run fest and should be one. The Holkar Stadium has hosted two World Cup games so far, with Australia successfully defending 327 against England and South Africa chasing down 232 easily. Anjum signed off by saying the India-England game could be a run-fest for an expected sellout crowd. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score I think Nat Sciver-Brunt is a big match player. She's a modern-day GOAT, and legend. I think, again, one can't take anything for granted. I mean, its a World Cup, but I do feel it should be a high-scoring game. Article Source: IANS

Spotify partners with the big three music labels on 'artist-first AI music products'
Spotify sees the music industry's AI problem , and it's going to do something about it. On Thursday, the company published a blog post heavy on principles, partnerships and vague plans. Unfortunately, it's practically devoid of specifics. The most explicit bit is that it's partnering with the big three music labels. Together, they'll develop responsible AI products that empower the artists and songwriters they represent, and connect them with the fans who support them. The move follows Spotify's announcement last month that it would clean up the AI slop proliferating on its platform. The company frames today's news as a direct defense against competition from unauthorized AI music production. If the music industry doesn't lead in this moment, AI-powered innovation will happen elsewhere, without rights, consent or compensation, the company wrote. Spotify says artists dont find that current AI tools are built to power their careers, their businesses, and their fan bases. That will inform whatever comes out of the partners plans. Well develop new products for artists and fans through upfront agreements, not by asking for forgiveness later, the company wrote. Spotify laid out four principles that will guide its hazy plans for artist-first AI music products. The first is through partnerships with labels, distributors, and publishers. (In addition to the big three of Sony, Universal and Warner, Spotify is partnering with digital rights company Merlin and the French music label Believe.) The other tenets include choice in participation, fair compensation and artist-fan connections. Although it's been forced to clean up the AI mess that grew on its platform, Spotify has adopted AI features of its own. Most notably, that includes its AI DJ . But it's also released a personalized daylist and AI Playlist features. The company differentiated its tools from unauthorized ones it's combating. It described its AI features as helping listeners to discover and connect with real artists. Our goal is to ensure the future of music innovation happens responsibly, and to invite the best minds in AI to help build it, Spotify wrote.

Kochi startup achieves milestone with fully designed 5G chip
KOCHI: A young tech startup from Kochi has achieved a significant milestone for Indias electronics industry. Silizium Circuits, based at Maker Village and Rajagiri Incubation Centre, has developed a 5G chip that is completely designed and built end-to-end in India, a rare feat in the countrys growing semiconductor sector. The startup, supported by IIT Hyderabads FabCI and the Kerala Startup Mission, focuses on creating chips for wireless communication. Its latest innovation a 5G Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) chip helps strengthen weak mobile signals, resulting in clearer calls and faster internet speeds, particularly in areas with poor network coverage. What makes this achievement stand out is that it is the first 5G chip in India to be funded by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) under its Digital Communication Innovation Scheme. It took us time and effort, but its a proud moment for all of us, said Rijin John, co-founder and CEO of Silizium Circuits. We designed the chip completely here in India with our 26-member team spread across Kochi and Hyderabad. Although the chip was ultimately manufactured abroad, as India still does not have its own semiconductor fabrication plant, every stage of its design, testing, and validation was carried out by Indian engineers. The success of the chip is being seen as a major step towards Indias goal of becoming self-reliant in semiconductor technology, a field currently dominated by countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, and the United States. For Silizium Circuits, which started small just a few years ago, the achievement has boosted confidence that Indian startups can compete globally in advanced chip design. This is just the beginning, Rijin said. We want to make more such products that can power the next generation of communication and technology in India.

Get 50 percent off your first year subscription to one of our favorite budgeting apps
Monarch Money is one of our favorite budgeting apps and, fittingly enough, there's a way for newcomers to save money on a subscription right now. If you use the code MONARCHVIP at checkout, you can get an annual plan for 50 percent off. It typically costs $100, but you can get 12 months of access for $50 with this code. There are some key caveats here. The discount is only for new users, and it can't be combined with other offers. The code only works when you sign up through the web. You can't redeem it through the Monarch mobile app. We feel that Monarch has a steeper learning curve than some other budget trackers and that certain aspects of the app are slightly more complex than they probably need to be. But it offers a great deal of customization and granularity , which outweighs our misgivings. On the main dashboard, you'll see your net worth along with your latest transactions, spending versus the previous month, your income so far for the month and details about upcoming bills, your investments and goals you've set. There's also a link to a month-in-review page, which offers an in-depth overview of what's been happening with your money that month. You'll also be able to take a peek at how your net worth has changed over time. Monarch can connect to your bank and track Apple Card, Apple Cash and Savings accounts. It can pull in your transactions and balance history automatically and detect your recurring expenses and income. The app can even keep your car valuation up to date. While it might take a little work to set up Monarch (and you might have to tweak things here and there), it's a detailed budgeting app that can help you keep better track of your income, expenditure and net worth.

KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday asserted that her government has taken groundbreaking steps to ensure food security for every person in the state. Extending greetings to people on World Food Day, Banerjee said the state government's flagship 'Khadya Sathi' provides free ration to nearly nine crore people. Heartfelt greetings to all on World Food Day! Ensuring food security for every person in the state is the primary goal of our government. To achieve this goal, we have taken many groundbreaking steps since 2011, she said in a post on X. Special food packages have also been extended to around 54 lakh people, including residents of 'Jungle Mahal', families affected by Cyclone Aila, the Toto tribe, and tea garden workers, the CM said.During major festivals like Durga Puja, Kali Puja, Chhath Puja, and Ramadan, the state provides essential items at subsidised prices to the economically weaker families, stated Banerjee. Under the Maa project, poor people are being provided lunch for just Rs 5. Through 356 Maa Canteens, 8.58 crore poor people have benefited. To ensure food security through the 'Khadyasathi' project, this year the state government has directly procured a record 56.33 lakh metric tonnes of paddy from 16.50 lakh farmer friends, she said. The farmers have received fair prices for their paddy, which have been directly deposited into their bank accounts, the chief minister said. Across the state, through 745 outlets of 'Sufal Bangla,' people are getting vegetables and fruits at much lower prices than the market rates. Now, fish is also being sold at affordable prices at 'Sufal Bangla'. For the convenience of people, the number of these outlets is being significantly increased, Banerjee added.
Chhattisgarh wins best performing state award for transparent PM-JAY implementation
RAIPUR: Chhattisgarh was bestowed with an award as best performing state for its effective execution, transparency and almost zero pendency on health care insurance claims and related issues under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY). The award was received by Dr Priyanka Shukla, chief executive officer (CEO) of the state nodal agency at the National Health Authority (NHA) Conclave held in Bhopal on Wednesday. At the NHA review meeting in January 2025, Chhattisgarh was found to have a relatively high number of suspicious claims. To improve this situation, the state nodal agency developed and implemented a swift action plan to strengthen accountability and transparency in health services. The nodal agency has taken steady, resolute steps in recent months, including conducting extensive field audits to identify suspicious claims, significantly reducing the turnaround time (TAT) for claims processing, orientation and sensitivity training for all stakeholders, strengthening the State Anti-Fraud Unit (SAFU) team, and establishing regular communication and coordination mechanisms with empanelled healthcare providers (EHCPs). Besides intensive reviews at district and state level by the health secretary and CEO (state nodal officer), the health department team conducted surprise inspections of many hospitals across the state. Penalty action was taken against 45 hospitals (the highest ever) for non-compliance with the scheme's standards. Additionally, field audits were conducted in over 32,000 cases, preventing fraudulent claims and making the claim settlement process more transparent. Regular meetings are being held with representatives of the Indian Medical Association and private hospitals to address issues faced by empanelled hospitals. According to data from the National Health Authority, 97 percent of hospitals (the highest) registered under PM-JAY in Chhattisgarh are active, a testament to hospitals' confidence in the scheme. In contrast, this rate in neighbouring Madhya Pradesh is 62 %, and the national average is only 52 percent.

It Might Be The Last Chance For Aussie Fans To See Rohit-Virat Playing On Australian Soil: Cummins
Sydney Cricket Ground: Indias highly anticipated tour of Australia, kicking off on October 19, carries added significance as it marks the return of stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to Australian shores. However, Australian pace spearhead Pat Cummins believes this series could be the final opportunity for home fans to witness the Indian legends in action Down Under. Kohli and Rohit, who have now retired from Tests and T20Is, will participate in the ODI series, the only international format they are playing, starting on October 19 in Perth. India are scheduled to play three ODIs and five T20Is on their limited-overs tour of Australia. Virat and Rohit have been part of almost every Indian side for the last 15 years, so this might be the last chance for the Australian public to see them playing out here. Theyve obviously been champions of the game for India and are always very well supported. Whenever we play them, the crowd gets loud, Cummins said on JioHotstar. Cummins, who is continuing his recovery from lumbar bone stress in preparation for the Ashes, will miss the series against India and Mitchell Marsh will lead the ODI side. Speaking about his absence from the white-ball series against India, Cummins said, It's a shame to miss the white-ball series against India. I think the crowds are going to be huge. Theres already a lot of excitement built up here in Australia. So, whenever you miss a game, its disappointing. But missing a big series like this is always a bit harder to take. Indias white-ball tour of Australia, under the new captain Shubman Gill, starts with the ODI series opener on October 19 at Perth Stadium and is followed by matches at Adelaide Oval and Sydney Cricket Ground on October 23 and 25, respectively. It is followed by the five-match T20I series beginning on October 29. The last time India toured Australia for a bilateral ODI series, the visitors lost by 2-1 margin in 2020/21 but managed to win the subsequent T20I series by the same margin on the same tour. Reflecting on Australia's approach in the upcoming ODI series, Its three matches you want to win, but its also about giving exposure to the younger guys coming through, particularly those who werent part of the last World Cup. The goal is to try and play them, see what they can do, and make sure that once we get close to the World Cup, we know what our 15-man squad is going to be and that were well placed. The last time India toured Australia for a bilateral ODI series, the visitors lost by 2-1 margin in 2020/21 but managed to win the subsequent T20I series by the same margin on the same tour.

Maharashtra Suffer Horror Start To Ranji Trophy Season With Four Ducks
Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament: Maharashtra got off to a 2025/26 Ranji Trophy season with a horror start against last year's runner-up Kerala at the Green Field Stadium here on Wednesday, as they were reeling at 5-4 in the fourth over of their innings. Keralas seamer MD Nidheesh ended Prithvi Shaws Maharashtra debut within four deliveries, trapping him lbw off the fourth ball of the opening over. He then removed Siddhesh Veer off the very next delivery before Basil NP took out all-rounder Arshin Kulkarni with his first delivery. Skipper Ankeet Bawanas resistance ended soon on a spicy wicket, with Basil producing another nip-backing delivery with bounce to knock the stumps down. Meanwhile, Shaw will be disappointed after failing to score a run in the game. He had scored a cracking ton for Maharashtra in a warm-up match against his former team, Mumbai. Shaw switched from Mumbai ahead of the season for a fresh start after a turbulent period that saw him lose his place in the red-ball setup. His move to Maharashtra is seen as a significant step in trying to revive his red-ball career. After going unsold at the IPL 2025 auction and facing questions over his form and fitness, Shaw decided to switch to Maharashtra to revive his domestic career and gain more consistent opportunities. He made an impact in his first competitive outing for Maharashtra, scoring a century against Chhattisgarh in the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament in August. At the time of writing this report, Maharashtra are 58-5, with Ruturaj Gaikwad and Jalaj Saxena batting at 19 and 22, respectively.
