Piyush Goyal urges youth to be ambitious, says Viksit Bharat by 2047 non-negotiable
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday urged young people to be ambitious, embrace transformation and contribute to nation-building, saying achieving the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047 is non-negotiable. Delivering the keynote address at the Young Leaders Discourse Forum at Kirori Mal College here, the minister said today's youth will be the architects of India's journey to 2047 and will be in their 40s when the country celebrates 100 years of Independence. Urging students to aim high, he said transformation requires change in mindset and continuous reinvention and stressed discipline and respect for tradition as foundation of institutions. He also spoke about flexibility under the National Education Policy and said today's students have wider opportunities with digitalisation and 1.1 billion internet users. Highlighting India's export performance, he further said the country recorded its highest-ever exports of $863 billion last year and has set an ambitious target of $1 trillion for the current year, representing 16 per cent growth. India could have set a target of $900 billion or 5 per cent growth which itself would have been significant against the IMF's April-May projection of 1.9 per cent global trade growth, but chose a higher target, according to the minister. He expressed confidence of achieving it, noting exports grew 14 per cent in April-September to $480 billion. Goyal said the IMF has since revised global trade growth projection to around 3.5 per cent, and India's export performance could have been one of the factors behind the revision. India has moved from being part of the fragile five to the world's fastest-growing large economy, citing a World Bank report that 50 crore people have come out of extreme poverty, he added. He attributed growth to India's talent pool, youthful demography with average age below 30 years, democratic system, decisive leadership and demand from 140 crore Indians. Goyal said India has earned the world's trust with countries keen on preferential and free trade agreements, and recalled India's support during COVID-19 through vaccine supplies while ensuring free vaccination at home.
SC defers hearing on Tarun Tejpal's appeal; Goa govt opposes release during Diwali
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned till November 5 the hearing on pleas filed by former Tehelka Editor-in-Chief Tarun Tejpal challenging his conviction and 10-year rigorous imprisonment sentence in the 2013 rape case, and by the Goa government seeking enhancement of his sentence. A Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and Prasanna B. Varale deferred the hearing after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Goa government, sought an adjournment. Appearing for Tejpal, senior advocate Kapil Sibal did not oppose the request for more time but urged the apex court to allow his client to come home during Diwali. If he wants to take time, he can take time. But let (Tejpal) come out during Diwali, Sibal submitted. Opposing the request, SG Mehta submitted that Tejpal stood convicted. However, Sibal countered, saying, So what? It's a reversal of the acquittal. He can come home for Diwali. Why should he be inside? The Goa government opposed Sibal's request to allow Tejpal to come out of jail during the festival. The matter will now be taken up for further hearing on November 5. The former Tehelka editor has challenged the Bombay High Court judgment that set aside his acquittal by a sessions court and convicted him of rape and other offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), sentencing him to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment. The case stems from allegations by a junior colleague that Tejpal sexually assaulted her inside an elevator of a luxury hotel in Goa during an event in November 2013. In May 2021, a sessions court acquitted Tejpal, holding that the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt and referring to alleged lapses in the investigation. The Goa government subsequently challenged the acquittal before the Bombay High Court. On August 6, the Bombay High Court set aside the acquittal and convicted Tejpal under Sections 376(2)(f) and 376(2)(k) (rape), 354A (sexual harassment) and 354B (assault or use of criminal force against a woman with intent to disrobe) of the IPC. The Goa government has separately approached the Supreme Court seeking enhancement of the 10-year rigorous imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court. Tejpal surrendered before the Additional Sessions Court at Mapusa in Goa on September 14, following the Supreme Court's direction rejecting his plea for exemption from surrender. He was subsequently taken to Central Jail in Colvale, North Goa, to serve his sentence.

Indias data centre capacity set for 5-fold surge by 2030, see over Rs 3 lakh crore investments
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) Indias data centre installed capacity is projected to increase five-fold to about 7.5 gigawatts (GW) by March 2030, attracting investments of more than Rs 3 lakh crore over the four fiscals, a Crisil report showed on Tuesday. The surge is being driven by generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)-led computing demand, enterprise digitalisation and rising data consumption. While long-tenor contracts with hyperscalers provide strong cash flow visibility, the pace of this expansion and credit quality of the data centre developers will hinge on timely power connectivity, regulatory approvals and disciplined project execution, said the report. Indias structural cost advantages further strengthen its attractiveness as a data centre destination. Development costs are around one-fifth lower than in several competing Asia-Pacific markets owing to more competitive land, construction and labour costs, said Anand Kulkarni, Director, Crisil Ratings. Combined with lower power tariffs, this translates into rentals that are 30-35 per cent lower than in peer markets. The ability to develop large, renewable-powered campuses also aligns well with the sustainability goals of hyperscalers, reinforcing Indias competitive positioning, he mentioned. Nearly half of the upcoming capacity is already committed under long-term contracts, limiting speculative development and reducing offtake risk. Upfront tie-ups with hyperscalers, driven by cloud adoption and compute-intensive GenAI workloads, provide revenue certainty from the outset. This helps de-risk projects, even as the scale and speed of the planned build-out intensify execution requirements, the report said. About three-fourths of the upcoming capacity of 6 GW is expected to be built in Visakhapatnam, Mumbai and Hyderabad. By fiscal 2030, data centre capacity in these cities could rise sharply and equate to around 80 per cent, 60 per cent and 20 per cent, respectively, of their current peak power demand. This underscores the criticality of timely grid connectivity and transmission augmentation. The quality of contracted revenues has also strengthened. Contract tenors have lengthened to 15-20 years from 10-12 years earlier, enhancing cash flow visibility. Furthermore, high migration costs and rising replacement capex should support customer retention, although a meaningful contract renewal track record is yet to be established, said Nitin Bansal, Associate Director, Crisil Ratings.
Physical gold vs gold ETF: Which can be more tax-efficient for investors?
During Diwali, many choose to invest in gold due to its cultural significance and potential financial returns. It's crucial to grasp the tax implications when deciding between physical gold and gold ETFs. Purchasing physical gold triggers GST and varied capital gains taxes depending on how long it's held. Conversely, gold ETFs offer more favorable conditions for capital gains. Investors need to weigh their goals to make the best choice.

From establishing a field office at Sagar to nurturing future leaders at Gwalior and Jammu, and introducing innovative training practices at PDUNASS, Rizwan Uddin's journey demonstrates how training can transform individual potential into institutional strength. Training in a government organisation is often viewed as a mechanism for improving professional knowledge, familiarising employees with rules and procedures, and enhancing administrative efficiency. However, its true value goes much beyond imparting knowledge. Effective training enables individuals to discover their strengths, develop confidence, overcome personal limitations and achieve goals that they may otherwise consider beyond their reach. This philosophy has shaped the professional journey of Rizwan Uddin, Regional Provident Fund Commissioner-I and Chief Learning Officer, PDUNASS, EPFO, whose interventions across different field offices and training campuses have focused on developing people, strengthening teams and improving service delivery. His contribution was recognised on 1 November 2026, when EPFO conferred upon him the Bhavishyanidhi Award for Best Officer-Trainer, 2026, during its 74th Foundation Day celebrations at Ambedkar International Centre, New Delhi. Building an institution and nurturing people at Sagar One of the significant chapters of his professional journey was the establishment of the Regional Office, Sagar, from scratch. Setting up a new office with limited manpower, inadequate initial infrastructure and employees deputed from other locations was a challenging assignment. Officials who had been deputed from Jabalpur often travelled back to their homes over weekends. The limited availability of manpower and the challenges associated with a newly established office placed considerable responsibility on the Officer-in-Charge. Rather than viewing these constraints as obstacles, he adopted the approach of leading by example and enabling employees to learn through actual work situations. Team members were encouraged to take responsibility, experiment with new ideas and develop their capabilities through experiential learning. The experience demonstrated that an institution is not built merely by creating infrastructure or issuing administrative instructions. It is built by developing ownership, trust and a shared sense of responsibility among its employees. Gwalior: When a small team produced eight future supervisors His subsequent experience at Regional Office, Gwalior, demonstrated how a focused approach towards employee development could produce remarkable individual achievements. Despite having a relatively small team, the office witnessed eight Social Security Assistants (SSAs) qualifying in the departmental examination for the post of Section Supervisor. This achievement was particularly significant because the employees had to balance their regular official responsibilities with preparation for departmental examinations. The working environment encouraged learning from experience, sharing knowledge and supporting one another. The team was also encouraged to experiment with innovative ideas in the discharge of its responsibilities. Employees gradually developed greater confidence and ownership of their work. The achievement of eight SSAs in the departmental examination was not merely an examination result. It represented eight individual career aspirations moving closer to fulfilment. It also demonstrated that a supportive workplace, coupled with encouragement and opportunities for learning, can help employees realise their professional ambitions. The experience reinforced an important leadership principle: the success of a supervisor should also be measured by the number of people he or she helps grow. Jammu: Training for sensitivity, flexibility and better service delivery The experience at Regional Office, Jammu, during July 2021 to March 2025 provided another important dimension to this approach towards capacity building. Working in a geographically challenging and remote location required employees to demonstrate adaptability, commitment and sensitivity towards stakeholders. The office also experimented with flexible working arrangements to ensure continuity of public service delivery. During this period, Rizwan Uddin trained and mentored officials, including Ashwini Kumar, Programmer, and Social Security Assistants Sunil Kumar, Rajashekhar, Shesh Kumar, Subhash Kumar and Rinku Sharma. The interventions focused on customer sensitivity, effective service delivery, teamwork and working in flexible timings. The objective was not simply to familiarise employees with administrative instructions. It was to develop an understanding that every claim, grievance and service request represents the expectations of an EPFO member. The subsequent recognition of Regional Office, Jammu, as EPFO's Best Remote Office, 2026, provides an encouraging institutional context for the efforts of its employees. The office has continued to demonstrate how commitment, adaptability and teamwork can sustain service delivery in challenging circumstances. PDUNASS: Taking the philosophy of employee development to a wider platform During October 2025 to September 2026, Rizwan Uddin extended his approach towards employee development to the national training platform of PDUNASS. Working in collaboration with the Training Division and fellow course directors, he contributed to conceptualising and preparing the Training Calendar. He was also actively associated with the design and delivery of the Orientation Programme for newly promoted Assistant Provident Fund Commissioners. Along with Ram Anand, RPFC-I, he contributed to the course design. The programme incorporated activities intended to improve interpersonal relationships, leadership capabilities, communication and decision-making. He conducted a full-day session on Goal Setting, Team Building, Communication and Decision Making and also guided participants on Principal Employer and Contractor Compliance. The impact of activity-based learning was reflected in the experiences of individual participants. M. M. Thomas, Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner, who attended the second batch of the Orientation Programme, recalled that interaction and interpersonal communication with batchmates had significantly improved his self-confidence. The programme also motivated participants to take an interest in cycling and pay greater attention to their health. Similarly, Sunita, APFC, observed that activity-based learning had strengthened her leadership skills. The three-week Orientation Programme helped her become more comfortable with multitasking and handling responsibilities requiring coordination and leadership. These experiences demonstrated that training can influence not only professional competence but also personal confidence, interpersonal relationships, leadership behaviour and lifestyle choices. Transforming the training methodology An important feature of his contribution at PDUNASS has been the introduction of innovative training methodologies. Moving beyond conventional classroom lectures, he promoted case-study-based learning, team-building activities, audio-visual sessions, online training and hybrid learning arrangements. Audio sessions were introduced at PDUNASS and its campuses, providing an additional learning format for trainees. A hybrid session on Recovery Management was also successfully piloted, enabling a leading recovery trainer to address Regional Labour Commissioners online. Following participation in a case-writing workshop, he authored a case study titled Building Trust in Governance: EPFO J&K and Ladakh for the Capacity Building Commission, which is currently under evaluation. His training interventions covered officials across different levels, from Additional Central Provident Fund Commissioners to Assistant Section Officers. He also visited PDUNASS Zonal Training Institute campuses as a resource person and regularly conducted online sessions for officials of ZTI Shillong. An online session on Critical Court Judgments received appreciation from more than 310 officers. Other important subjects included Compliance through Nudging, Communication and Facilitation, and strategies for Nidhi Aapke and Prayas. He also served as Course Director for Investment and Risk Management for ACC-level officers and below, and for Customer Relationship Management, CITES and New Initiatives for Regional Commissioner-I-level officers and below. Preparing EPFO employees for emerging challenges Recognising the changing requirements of public administration, he also contributed to capacity building in emerging technologies. From 19 to 21 August, he served as Course Director for a three-day pro-bono programme on AI and Emerging Technologies, organised in coordination with the National e-Governance Division (NeGD) at its training centre in Noida. The programme benefited 75 Group-A officers and Assistant Section Officers from EPFO Headquarters and PDUNASS. The course was developed with the support of two EPFO officers and the NeGD team. He also supported the design of specialised programmes on Legal and Recovery Management and Exemption Management, in consultation with senior officers and external experts. His contribution extended to training on Contractor Compliance, including the development of course content for employees of exempted trusts and executives under the GNLUPDUNASS programme. Beyond EPFO: Sharing knowledge with other institutions His training initiatives have also received recognition beyond EPFO. As Nodal Officer for the PMVBRY initiative, he coordinated with senior officers of NITI Aayog and served as Course Director and resource person for a workshop at Noida attended by more than 50 executives of major establishments. He designed and delivered an online course for CGIT Assessors across India on 25 September 2025, at short notice, on the initiative of the Ministry of Labour and Employment. The Ministry subsequently shared the programme on its social media platforms. He was also invited to deliver a special lecture on the Code on Social Security, 2020, at DRDO's ITM, Mussoorie, and participated as a trainer in programmes organised by VVGNLI and INGAF. He has also contributed to training initiatives involving GNLU and students of NID, Ahmedabad. Further, he organised and conducted online and three-day offline training programmes for Regional Labour Commissioners from across India, and coordinated training initiatives across all four EPFO zones. The philosophy: Success is measured by the growth of others The underlying philosophy of these interventions is simple: an employee's potential is often greater than what is visible through routine official performance. The responsibility of a leader is to create an environment in which that potential can emerge. At Sagar, it meant building a new office and developing a team under difficult circumstances. At Gwalior, it meant encouraging employees to pursue their career aspirations, resulting in eight SSAs qualifying for the post of Section Supervisor. At Jammu, it meant preparing employees to work sensitively and adaptively in a challenging environment. At PDUNASS, it meant extending the same philosophy to a much larger group of officers through structured training, experiential learning and innovative methodologies. The journey illustrates that training is most effective when it connects organisational objectives with individual aspirations. The Bhavishyanidhi Award for Best Officer-Trainer, 2026, is therefore not merely a recognition of the number of programmes conducted or the number of officers trained. It also celebrates an approach to leadership in which the growth of subordinates becomes an important measure of personal achievement. As Rizwan Uddin acknowledges, these achievements have been made possible through the support of the Director, PDUNASS, the team of course directors, senior colleagues, mentors and the employees who actively participated in the learning initiatives. Ultimately, the most meaningful legacy of a trainer is not the number of lectures delivered or certificates issued. It is the number of people who become more confident, capable and successful because someone believed intheir potential and helped them move towards their goals.

Rajesh Kumar given premature repatriation to parent AGMUT cadre
Srinagar, Nov 2:Senior IPS officer Rajesh Kumar of the 1995 batch of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir cadre (now AGMUT) has been given premature repatriation to his parent cadre by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC). Kumar, who was serving as Special Director General in the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), will return to the AGMUT cadre with immediate effect. He had been on central deputation to the CRPF since March 2018, when he joined as Inspector General. He was later elevated to Additional Director General and, in early September 2026, promoted to the rank of Special DG (Level-16) on an in-situ basis for a tenure of two years or until further orders, whichever was earlier. The premature repatriation comes shortly after his recent elevation and ends a long central deputation stint. Kumar belongs to the 1995 batch of the erstwhile J&K cadre, which was merged into the AGMUT cadre following the reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir. Official records list his date of appointment to the IPS as September 3, 1995. During his service in Jammu and Kashmir, Kumar held several sensitive and operationally important assignments. These included DIG North Kashmir Range (Baramulla), IGP Jammu Zone (appointed in March 2013), IG Special Security Group (SSG), and IG CRPF (Operations), Kashmir. His J&K experience covered key phases of counter-insurgency and law-and-order management in both the Kashmir and Jammu regions. Kumars return to the parent cadre is expected to strengthen the senior leadership pool available for deployment across AGMUT territories, including Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and other Union Territories. The Ministry of Home Affairs is likely to issue further orders regarding his specific assignment in due course.

Digital Desk | Jalandhar, Nov 2 (IANS) The Indian Men's Hockey Team completed an unbeaten league-stage run at the Hero Asian Champions Trophy Punjab 2026 on Monday with an 8-0 win over Korea their fifth in a row at the Olympian Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium in Jalandhar. Dilpreet Singh (8', 40') scored twice, while Jugraj Singh (11'), Harmanpreet Singh (15'), Shilanand Lakra (33'), Sukhjeet Singh (34'), Sanjay (36') and Angad Bir Singh (60') were also on target. India finished at the top of the standings with five wins from five matches and will face Korea again in the semi-finals as the tournament moves to Mohali, where the semis will be played on November 4 and the medal matches on November 5. Second-placed Japan will face Malaysia, who finished the league stage in third place, in the other semi-final. India began aggressively in front of a packed house and created an early chance through Sukhjeet, whose backhand effort in the fourth minute was saved by goalkeeper Kim Jaehyeon. Dilpreet opened the scoring in the eighth minute with a backhand finish after a move that began with an aerial pass from Jugraj. India doubled their lead through a penalty corner in the 11th minute, with Jugraj scoring after Harmanpreet's initial effort was kept out and Vishnukant Singh set up Jugraj on the rebound. Harmanpreet added another penalty-corner goal to his tally in the 15th minute to give India a 3-0 lead at the first break. He now tops the scoring chart with nine goals. Korea showed more intent in the second quarter and earned a number of penalty corners, but the Indian defence kept them at bay. Pathak also denied Son Dain in a one-on-one situation in the 27th minute with a timely save using his outstretched foot. India had opportunities of their own, but Aditya Arjun Lalage's shot went wide, while another penalty corner did not result in a goal after the ball was ruled to have been played with the back of the stick. India went into half-time with their three-goal advantage intact. India increased the tempo after the break and added four goals in the third quarter. Shilanand Lakra scored in the 33rd minute after a penalty-corner variation. Harmanpreet's pass found Jugraj, whose attempt was saved by Kim, but Lakra was on hand to put away the rebound. Sukhjeet made it 5-0 a minute later, deflecting Aditya's pass from the baseline into the net. Sanjay added another in the 36th minute, reacting quickest after Dilpreet's attempt was saved. India's seventh goal came in the 40th minute when Sanjay controlled Harmanpreet's long aerial pass and struck towards goal, with Dilpreet getting a touch to send the ball past the goalkeeper. India eased the tempo in the final quarter, with Korea enjoying periods of ball-possession but struggling to create clear chances. Suraj Karkera made a save when Korea threatened, while a penalty corner in the 58th minute came to nothing. Angad Bir Singh then scored a superb solo goal in the 60th minute, winning possession in the midfield, driving towards the circle and pushing the ball underneath the advancing goalkeeper to complete the 8-0 win. Korea had another penalty corner in the closing seconds, but failed to make the most of it. Sanjay, who was named Player of the Match, said India were pleased to finish at the top of the pool. We wanted to top the table and we did that. We are very happy. I want to request the crowd to support us the same way in Mohali, he said. India finished with 15 points and a goal difference of +29. Japan ended second with 10 points, followed by Malaysia with nine and Korea with six points.

Ranji Trophy: Dubey Picks Nine Scalps As Vidarbha Bowl Out Madhya Pradesh For 209
For Central Zone: Left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey rewrote the Vidarbha record books on Monday by claiming 9-53 to bowl out Madhya Pradesh for 209 on an eventful opening day of their Ranji Trophy match at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha. Dubey became the first bowler from Vidarbha to claim a nine-wicket haul in an innings of the Ranji Trophy. The previous best figures for the side was Arun Ogirals 8-39 in 1967-68, which ironically came against Madhya Pradesh. Dubey is now the 30th bowler overall to take nine or more wickets in an innings in the Ranji Trophy. It was Vidarbha all-rounder Nachiket Bhute, though, who made the first breakthrough by removing opener Yash Dubey. From there onwards, the innings belonged to Harsh. He opened his account in the 17th over and kept chipping away, leaving Madhya Pradesh at 64/5 in the 29th over. Atharva Mahajan and Saransh Jain resisted with a 72-run stand. It lasted nearly 18 overs before Dubey returned to break it, and the lower order did not survive long after that. The last nine-wicket haul in the Ranji Trophy came from Gujarats left-arm spinner Siddharth Desai, who took 9-36 against Uttarakhand in 2024-25. Mondays spell adds to a big year for Dubey, who made his ODI debut against Afghanistan in June and took four wickets in two matches. He then toured Sri Lanka with India A, taking three wickets and scoring 59 runs across two innings. For Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy, he took eight wickets and made 27 and 24 against East Zone. He has carried that form into the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season, with 23 wickets in seven innings so far. Elsewhere, Karnatakas Ritesh Bhatkal (5-35) and Shikhar Shetty (5-53) shared 10 wickets to bowl Assam out for 135 inside 49 overs in Guwahati. Rohan Patil then hit 89 off 87 balls, with 13 fours and a six, and added 129 for the opening wicket with Mayank Agarwal, who was unbeaten on 57, as Karnataka got a 45-run lead. In Dharamsala, 20 wickets fell on the opening day. Rajasthan chose to bat and were shot out for 78, with Abhishek Kumar taking five wickets for Himachal Pradesh. Sahil Dhiwan replied with a five-wicket haul for Rajasthan, but Himachal still made 153 for a lead of 75. Mayank Mishra took 6-57 as Uttarakhand bowled out Haryana for 153 after they elected to bat. In Chandigarh, Pradosh Ranjan Pauls unbeaten 138 powered Tamil Nadu to 320/4 against the hosts. N Jagadeesan (52) and Baba Indrajith (51) also scored fifties. Punjab recovered from 71/5 to reach 276/5 against Andhra, thanks to an unbroken 205-run stand for the sixth wicket between Salil Arora (111 not out) and Sanvir Singh (100 not out). In Ahmedabad, Aarya Desai fell five short of a century as Gujarat crossed 300 against Kerala. He added 116 with Abhishek Desai, and after Gujarat slipped to 182/4, Urvil Patel (63 not out) and Vishal Jayswal (50 not out) put on an unbeaten 111-run stand. Opener Dhruv Patel made 124 to lift Baroda to 269/6 in Kanpur. He added 88 with Shashwat Rawat (47) and 108 with Mitesh Patel (49) after Baroda were 54/2. His dismissal set off a late wobble, with three wickets falling on 249 in four deliveries across two overs. Services captain Rajat Paliwal came in at number five with his side at 27/3 and made an unbeaten 111 to take them to 266 in 88 overs against Delhi at Palam. Snehal Kauthankars unbeaten 116 rescued Goa from 54/4 after they chose to bat against Bihar at home, as they ended day one at 288/6 in 87 overs. At the CCI in Mumbai, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (78) and Sarfaraz Khan (55) struck half-centuries and captain Siddesh Lad made 47 as Mumbai reached 247/6 in 83 overs after being put in by Railways. Sridam Pauls 86 led Tripuras fightback against Saurashtra as the hosts reached 219/7 at stumps at the MBB Stadium. Put in to bat after Saurashtra won the toss, Tripura slumped to 28/5 inside 19 overs. Paul then added 125 for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper-batter Sentu Sarkar, who made 46. Manisankar Murasingh (33) and Bikram Debnath (32) were unbeaten at the close, after Tripura had batted 74.3 overs. Parth Bhut was the pick of the Saurashtra bowlers with 3-52 in 19 overs, including two maidens. Chetan Sakariya took two wickets, while Yuvraj Dodiya and Sammar Gajjar claimed one each. Sridam Pauls 86 led Tripuras fightback against Saurashtra as the hosts reached 219/7 at stumps at the MBB Stadium. Put in to bat after Saurashtra won the toss, Tripura slumped to 28/5 inside 19 overs. Paul then added 125 for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper-batter Sentu Sarkar, who made 46.

Through this initiative, more than 30 lakh farmers have been provided with solar-powered irrigation facilities. Estimates suggest that each farmer can save around Rs 1 lakh annually by using solar pumps, the Prime Minister added. PM Modi said the government aims to bring every government building, school, college, hospital and street-lighting system under solar energy to further expand the country's clean energy infrastructure. The Prime Minister also highlighted the progress made under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, launched in February 2024 with the target of installing rooftop solar panels in one crore households. More than 65 lakh households have joined the initiative in the past 24-25 months, he said. Emphasising India's commitment to global climate goals, PM Modi said the country had achieved its target of meeting 50 per cent of its installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in 2025, five years ahead of the schedule set under the Paris Agreement. Under the Paris Agreement, India also pledged to meet 50 per cent of its installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources. We achieved this target in 2025, five years ahead of schedule. Today, more than 50 per cent of Indias installed power capacity comes from non-fossil fuel sources, the Prime Minister stated.
India powerhouse of world hockey: Dutch legend Bovelander
Digital Desk | Jalandhar, Nov 2 (IANS) Dutch hockey legend and 1996 Atlanta Olympics and 1990 World Cup Gold Medalist Floris Jan Bovelander on Monday expressed delight at being invited by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to witness the Hero Asian Champions Trophy 2026, recalling the Chief Ministers visit to the Netherlands in April and his deep passion for hockey. Speaking on the sidelines of the tournament currently underway at Olympian Surjit Singh Hockey Stadium in Jalandhar, Bovelander said, I was both astonished and honoured that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann remembered me and personally invited me to be part of the prestigious tournament. The invitation reflected the Chief Ministers immense love for hockey and that I made it a point to travel to Jalandhar. The legendary drag flicker, who represented the Netherlands in 241 international matches and scored 215 goals during his illustrious international career from October 1985 to August 1996, described India as a powerhouse of world hockey. Highlighting the contribution of Asian countries, particularly India and Pakistan, to the Olympic movement, Bovelander underscored their importance in popularising the movement across the world. Recalling his association with Indian hockey, the Dutch legend, popularly known as Flop, Floppie and Boem Boem Bovelander, said India had rendered yeomans service in taking hockey to greater heights at the international level. He added that most of his memories of Indian hockey were associated with players from Punjab, particularly Sikh players, asserting that Indian hockey could simply not be imagined without Punjab.

Orrys latest revelations on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedis show Double Date have sparked curiosity about some of Bollywoods most talked-about social circles. Speaking candidly about genuine friendships, one-sided support and people who disappointed him, Orry opened up about falling out with people he once considered close, including Sara Ali Khan. During the conversation, Orry admitted that he values genuine connections and does not believe in maintaining friendships that lack sincerity. Reflecting on his own personality, he said, I chase genuine friendship. I do not want to maintain a friendship that is not genuine. I am a fake person, main bahar se aur andar se poora nakli ho sakta hoon, if you want me to be fake. He went on to explain that his relationships with his closest friends, including Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, are personal and go beyond social media appearances. He shared that when he is with them, unless they are at a party, he does not feel the need to constantly take out his camera and record everything. Talking about his experience with Khatron Ke Khiladi, Orry said that he was particularly hurt that people he considered his best friends did not even share a story or like a post while he was participating in what he described as a mentally and physically taxing show. He added that the experience had changed people's perception of him, making the absence of support from those closest to him even more disappointing. Reflecting on the experience, he remarked, Wo log saanp nikle. The conversation took a more personal turn when Orry was asked about the most famous person he had blocked, unfollowed or muted. He brought up Sara Ali Khan and her mother, Amrita Singh, revealing that his friendship with Sara went back to their childhood and college days. Recalling a difficult phase in Saras life, Orry said he had stood by her when she was going through a challenging time and believed that their friendship was strong enough to withstand difficult circumstances. He alleged that he supported Sara throughout that period, even when others advised him to distance himself from her. However, he felt deeply hurt when he needed her support and she was not there for him. We were childhood friends, and we went to college together. We were in Goa when Sara was going through a very big case, and I was with her throughout this. Everyone was telling me to leave her, but I didn't, Orry recalled, explaining that he had stood by Sara when she needed someone by her side. He further alleged that when he was going through a difficult phase himself, Sara did not reach out to him, leaving him questioning the depth of their friendship. For Orry, the disappointment was not simply about a missed phone call; it was about the lack of support from someone he believed he had always been there for. Orry also spoke about his experience with Amrita Singh, claiming that she had scolded him and that the episode contributed to his decision to unfollow her. He explained that continuing to maintain a friendship with Sara would be difficult for him without an apology or a resolution to what had happened between him and her family. If I pretend to be friends with her now, that means whatever her mother did to me, whatever she spoke about me to everyone else, that means she is okay with it. And I never got any apology. I can't stay friends with her, he said. Orrys candid account has brought the spotlight back on his equation with Sara Ali Khan, raising questions about how a friendship that began years ago reached a point where reconciliation appears difficult. While Orry has shared his side of the story, the revelations also highlight the expectations, misunderstandings and hurt that can arise when personal relationships become entangled with public life. His appearance on Double Date with Splitsvilla fame Yogesh Rawat offers a glimpse into a side of celebrity friendships that audiences rarely get to see: the difference between being part of the same social circle and being there for someone when it truly matters.

Messi scores winner as Inter Miami beat New England 2-1 to climb to second
Lionel Messi had a second-half assist before scoring the winner as Inter Miami came from behind to beat the New England Revolution 2-1. Inter Miami (16-6-11) moves into second place in the Eastern Conference, passing New England (18-11-4) by a point with one match remaining in the regular season. It was the 10th road win this season for Inter Miami - three more than anyone else.

It was the fifth assist of the season for Feingold and the ninth for the 18-year-old Miller - both career highs.

Ronaldo rested as Al-Nassr travel to face Pakhtakor in Uzbekistan in AFC CL
Cristiano Ronaldo is being rested for Al-Nassr's AFC Champions League trip to Uzbekistan, a week after the club's previous game in the competition was postponed, and amid concern that the security situation in Saudi Arabia will continue to impact Asia's top soccer tournaments. Ronaldo, who scored a hat trick in a Saudi Pro League game last week to reach 985 career goals, was left off the roster by coach Ange Postecoglou for Monday's match against Pakhtakor in Tashkent. Postecoglou, a former head coach of Tottenham Hotspur and of Australia, told a news conference in Uzbekistan he'd rested Ronaldo, Kingsley Coman and Mohamed Simakan given the pressure of matches and the amount of travel involved. Al-Nassr, aiming for a first ever Asian title, has made a slow start and is ninth in the western zone group, the lowest-ranked of the Saudi league's five representatives in the 32-team tournament.

Defence Ministry signs Rs 53,866 crore deal with GRSE, GSL for 8 next-gen Navy corvettes
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) The Defence Ministry has signed contracts worth Rs 53,866.50 crore with Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited (GRSE) and Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL) for acquisition of eight Next Generation Corvettes (NGCs) for the Indian Navy, according to an official statement on Monday. According to the Defence Ministry, the contracts were inked in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh here. Under the contracts, GRSE will construct five corvettes while GSL will build three, the ministry said. The project is the first in which ships will be indigenously designed by the Indian Navy and constructed by Defence Public Sector Undertakings selected through a competitive process, marking a major milestone in indigenous warship design and construction. The NGCs will be equipped with advanced missiles, weapons and sensor suites, enabling them to undertake missions across air, surface and sub-surface domains. The induction of these ships will significantly enhance the Indian Navys operational capabilities in safeguarding maritime trade routes, conducting anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare operations, strengthening coastal defence, undertaking littoral combat operations, and carrying out maritime presence and surveillance missions, according to the Defence Ministry. Moreover, the project is expected to generate about 72 lakh person-days of employment in shipyards and 460 lakh person-days in ancillary industries and MSMEs over the next ten years. The ministry said the project will boost the indigenous shipbuilding ecosystem and is a major step towards Aatmanirbharta in defence manufacturing. Earlier in October, the government cleared capital acquisition proposals worth Rs 2.12 lakh crore for defence forces out of which nearly 82 per cent of the procurements will be made from Indian Industry. The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, accorded Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) -- in-principle administrative approval to various capital acquisition proposals of the defence forces -- at an estimated cost of about Rs 2,12,000 crore.

Govt on track to meet FY27 fiscal deficit target on strong corporate tax collections: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) The Centre is likely to achieve its fiscal deficit target of 4.3 per cent of GDP for FY27 because of robust corporate tax collections, according to a report. As per Goldman Sachs report, the fiscal deficit during April-September reached about 3.9 per cent of GDP, accounting for 42.6 per cent of the full-year budget estimate. While this marks a higher run rate than in recent years, it said the government remains on course to meet its fiscal consolidation goal despite a relatively fast pace of borrowing and spending in the first half of the financial year. According to the report, stronger-than-expected corporate tax revenues are helping offset pressure from weaker income tax collections, lower fuel tax receipts and higher expenditure commitments. Moreover, corporate tax collections have risen around 22 per cent year-on-year so far in FY27, significantly above the Budget's projected growth rate of 12 per cent. The report also highlighted that income tax collections have increased by about 9 per cent, falling short of the government's budgeted expectation of 18 per cent growth. It noted a sharp improvement in the fiscal position during September when the government's accounts were broadly balanced after recording a deficit of around Rs 2.6 lakh crore in August. Strong advance tax payments from companies contributed to the improvement, helping absorb the impact of rising interest payments and capital expenditure. The government is expected to rely on expenditure reprioritisation to remain within its fiscal deficit target, according to the report. It noted that capital expenditure remained a key focus area, rising 12.7 per cent on a year-to-date basis, although September spending was below year-ago levels due to lower outlays on roads and highways. Additionally, the report showed some risks to the fiscal outlook.
Messi heroics lead Inter Miami to Champions Cup
Digital Desk | Foxborough, Nov 2 (IANS) Lionel Messi delivered a stunning assist and late goal to rally Inter Miami past the New England Revolution, 2-1, and clinch a spot in next years Concacaf Champions Cup. The win also elevated Miami into the driver's seat for the Eastern Conferences No. 2 seed ahead of the MLS Cup Playoffs. And it left Messi with 26 goals and 16 assists on the season, putting him in pole position for a historic third straight MLS MVP award and second consecutive golden boot. An even first 45 minutes saw the sides go into the half scoreless. Inter Miamis best chance of the half came in the 28th minute through Berterame, with a left-footed shot from the Mexican international from the left end of the box being saved by New England goalkeeper Matt Turner. The second half then saw the hosts open the scoring in the 53rd minute through a goal from Daniel Gazdag. Inter Miami equalised in the 69th through a superb team play. Segovia delivered a lobbed pass into the box, where Messi headed the ball back for Berterame to strike with a thumping header from the centre of the box. The goal marked Berterames 10th this regular season, while the assist was Messis 16th this league campaign. Inter Miami turned the scoring around in the 83rd minute, with Messi netting the winner after another fantastic passing sequence. Suarez played a ball to Messi in a central position outside the box, where the Argentine maestro made his way past three defenders before combining with Segovia to break into the box and finding the back of the net with a grounded hit to the bottom-right corner. The goal took Messi's tally to 26 as he extended his lead in the race for the 2026 MLS Golden Boot, while Segovia reached 12 assists this regular season. The 1-2 scoreline then held through the final whistle for Inter Miami to pick up three points on the road.

Frankfurt captain Robin Koch threatened shortly before halftime, but goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes pushed his header wide. The hosts regained the lead almost immediately after the interval. Brassier met Chaibi's corner with a header that Heuer Fernandes could only parry, leaving Raphael Onyedika to turn home the rebound in the 47th minute.

Uzun regained possession in midfield and threaded the ball through to Younes Ebnoutalib, who finished past Heuer Fernandes. Frankfurt coach Adi Hutter handed Niko Ilicevic his Bundesliga debut in stoppage time. At 16 years and one day, the youngster equaled Youssoufa Moukoko's record as the league's youngest player.
