IIM Jammus 10th Anniversary : Real exams take place in boardrooms, markets: LG
Jammu, Aug 22: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday said the real examinations take place in corporate boardrooms, markets and in life itself, where the data is often incomplete, stakeholders have differing opinions and there is no teacher to provide readymade answers. The LG joined the Board of Governors, faculty, students, alumni and dignitaries to celebrate 10 years of IIM Jammu. In his address, he said, IIM Jammu should define its own bold and distinctive ideas and turn the boardrooms of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh into living case studies, to root research in border economies and frontier development and to ensure every graduate builds something real before they leave campus. Reflecting on IIM Jammu's remarkable journey, Sinha said that from a modest beginning to its current standing as one of India's fastest-emerging business schools, the institute has scripted a new history while setting out an ambitious roadmap for the decade ahead. Recalling that IIM Jammu started a decade ago with just 56 students on a temporary campus on Canal Road, the Lieutenant Governor noted that the institute has since grown into a nationally recognised and internationally engaged centre for management education. He observed that IIM Jammu is now the fifth IIM in the country to hold both AMBA and EFMD accreditation, and it has built academic partnerships with institutions across France, Morocco, South Korea, Greece, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Poland, Sweden, Taiwan and, most recently, Brazil. The research output at the institute has also expanded sharply, growing from just two published papers in 2017 to close to 350 this year. He commended the hard work and a decade of consistent effort under the leadership of Director Professor B.S. Sahay, the faculty and the Board of Governors, describing the institute's trajectory as a model that other business schools are beginning to look to for inspiration. I have seen details of one achievement after another, along with several distinctive initiatives that have become an inspiring example, a role model, for other business schools. I am certain that, in the future, people will remember these achievements as a standard and an ideal, and will seek to emulate them, he said. The LG invoked the founding stories of three of the world's most respected business schools - Harvard, built on the discipline of case-based learning; Stanford, built on connecting the classroom to real-world enterprise through Silicon Valley; and Wharton, built on mastering the complexities of global capital markets. Each, the Lieutenant Governor observed, succeeded not by trying to be everything, but by committing to one distinctive idea and pursuing it with patience over generations. He said that IIM Jammu now stands at a similar starting point and the decisions it makes over the coming years will shape its identity for decades to come. The Lieutenant Governor emphasised four priorities for the IIM Jammu. First, a distinctive academic identity should be the priority. Rather than relying primarily on case studies drawn from Western business schools, IIM Jammu should build its own tradition of case writing rooted in the realities of Indian enterprise, including the logistical and entrepreneurial challenges unique to Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh. Second, experiential learning should be a focus. Education must move beyond the lecture hall. Every student should undertake a real, tangible project before graduation, whether through the institute's Entrepreneurship Centre, a policy challenge, or direct engagement with local businesses supported by its Centre for Small Business Development. Third, research with a sharp edge should be the focus. Building on the institute's rapid growth in research output, a deeper focus should be on questions specific to border economies, sustainable development and frontier entrepreneurship, areas where IIM Jammu is uniquely positioned to lead. Fourth, placements should be seen as a nation-building exercise. I hope within a decade, IIM Jammu graduates would be recognised for reshaping major companies and founding leading enterprises. Each graduate should be seen as a contributor to India's goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, the Lieutenant Governor said. IIM Jammu's growth must now be converted into new discoveries. IIM Jammu must ask itself what can be done in the fields of administration, sustainable development and entrepreneurship in the economies of border areas. I believe that great institutions are great because, when the nation faces difficult questions, it looks to them for answers. If IIM Jammu continues to move forward with complete confidence over the next ten years, I am certain that its name will be spoken across the world with immense pride and respect, Sinha said. On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor released seven coffee-table books of IIM Jammu. Padma Shri Dr. Milind Pralhad Kamble, Chairman, Board of Governors (BoG), IIM Jammu; Sriram Dandekar, Former Chairman, BoG, IIM; Anand Kripalu, Member, BoG, IIM Jammu; Prof. B.S. Sahay, Director IIM Jammu; S. Shivakumar, Operating Partner, Advent International; Vice Chancellors of various Universities; Head of Departments, Faculty and students of IIM Jammu; prominent citizens and senior officials of Police and Civil Administration were present.

India must become an AI creator, not just a user: Delhi CM Rekha Gupta
India must transform itself into a creator of artificial intelligence rather than remain merely a consumer of the technology, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Saturday. She was speaking as the chief guest at the 41st convocation of VIT University, Vellore, presided over by VIT Chancellor G. Viswanathan. Gupta conferred degree certificates on graduating students during the ceremony. Addressing the gathering, Gupta said many pressing challenges facing society could be addressed when governments and graduates work together. Citing Delhis experience, she said the city had found solutions to challenges such as pollution, traffic congestion and waste management by partnering with institutions such as the IITs. She urged graduating students to take up similar roles after entering the workforce and contribute to solving challenges in their cities while driving innovation for the country. Dont just be users of artificial intelligence build Indias own AI, she said, referring to investments being made by the Union government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi through the IndiaAI Mission in areas including semiconductors, computing infrastructure, defence, space, drones, robotics and biotechnology. The objective, she said, was to enable India to move beyond consuming AI technologies and emerge as a producer of them, describing this transition as one of the most significant contributions graduates could make to their states and the country. Gupta also spoke about resilience, urging students not to fear failure or allow it to cause undue stress. Instead, she asked them to identify the reasons for failure, understand them and work to overcome the challenges with determination rather than abandoning their goals. Hard work, she said, remained the most important path to success. While a nations products and physical assets contribute to its growth, she said its most valuable resource was intellectual capital, represented by its educated and skilled youth. Gupta said Indias development vision should be built around the principles of Make in India, Invest in India, Design in India and Brand in India. While the world had already recognised the talent of Indian engineers, she said India must now demonstrate the strength of its own technology. In his address, VIT Chancellor G. Viswanathan said Indias Gross Enrolment Ratio in higher education stood at around 30 per cent, while the National Education Policy aims to raise it to 50 per cent. India, he said, needed to compete with other Asian countries on higher education access, citing enrolment ratios of around 90 per cent in South Korea, 60 per cent in Japan, more than 60 per cent in China, 40 per cent in Malaysia and 45 per cent in Thailand. Viswanathan said India had around 1,400 universities, 54,000 colleges and 16,000 standalone educational institutions, with around 4.5 crore students currently enrolled in higher education. Ensuring access to higher education for students from poor and middle-class families, he said, was a shared responsibility of the state and central governments.

Japanese proverb of the day: Discipline involves quiet, everyday choices for long-term benefits. Regret often arises later when opportunities are missed and cannot be changed. Consistent small actions build self-trust and turn intentions into tangible results. The pressure for quick success obscures the value of sustained, private effort. Choosing present discipline reduces future regret and shapes positive outcomes.

Did Arjun Rampal get special treatment? Inside the legal loophole that allowed his instant marriage
Highlights Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades registered their marriage in Mapusa, Goa Goa's civil registration process normally includes a 15-day waiting period The couple obtained special permission to waive the waiting period Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades may have kept their wedding private, but the legal process behind their Goa marriage has revealed a little-known provision in the state's marriage registration system. The Dhurandhar actor and his longtime partner registered their marriage at the Sub-Registrar's office in Mapusa, North Goa, on Friday. According to PTI, the couple obtained special permission from the Assistant Public Prosecutor to waive the 15-day period normally required between the first and second stages of marriage registration. What is the Goa marriage rule? Unlike a straightforward same-day registration, Goa's civil marriage procedure is divided into two stages. The state's Registration Department says a statutory waiting period of 15 days, including two Sundays, normally applies between the declaration of marriage and its final registration. The period allows the marriage notice to be publicly displayed and gives anyone aware of a legal impediment an opportunity to raise an objection. However, the rule comes with an important exception. Goa's official marriage-registration guidance states that the waiting period can be waived in deserving cases with permission from the Assistant Public Prosecutor of the relevant jurisdiction. That provision appears to be the route used by Rampal and Demetriades. How Arjun Rampal skipped the 15-day wait According to PTI, the couple arrived at the Mapusa registrar's office at around 4pm on Friday and completed the necessary formalities in the presence of close friends. They had already secured special permission from the Assistant Public Prosecutor to condone the waiting period between their first and second signatures. This does not mean the couple bypassed Goa's marriage law. Rather, they used an exception expressly provided for within the state's registration framework. Goa's own registration website confirms that the waiting period can be waived after permission from the Assistant Public Prosecutor is submitted, allowing the couple to proceed with the final registration. Why Goa's rule matters The provision is particularly interesting because the waiting period is not simply an administrative delay. It forms part of Goa's system of public notice, giving potential objections to a proposed marriage an opportunity to be raised before the marriage is formally registered. In Rampal and Demetriades ' case, the special permission meant they did not have to wait the full statutory period before completing the registration. The marriage was registered under Goa's civil registration system, which applies irrespective of religion. The official Goa marriage portal describes registration as the process that gives a marriage juridical status and provides the legal certificate establishing it. The couple, who have been together for several years and share two sons, have now formally registered their relationship after years of being together. Their decision to complete the legal formalities quietly in Goa has also put the state's unusual marriage-registration provisions in the spotlight.

DPL 2026: Mayank Yadav Gives Invaluable Motivation To The Junior Players, Says Simarjeet Singh
Captain Simarjeet Singh: Captain Simarjeet Singh opened up about the team's refreshed mindset and lethal bowling partnership with Mayank Yadav after East Delhi Riders delivered a disciplined all-round performance to secure a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Outer Delhi Warriors in their Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026 clash on Friday. We just tried to give our best as players and return with a strong mentality. Rather than treating every game with extreme pressure or worrying about whether we were in or out of the tournament, we focused on playing good cricket and showing the coaching staff, management, and fans what we are capable of, Simarjeet said after the match. When asked if East Delhi Riders were aiming to play party poopers and disrupt the playoff chances of other teams, Simarjeet dismissed the idea, choosing instead to focus on long-term development. We aren't thinking about other teams. We are focusing on our own game and learning for the future as cricketers. With domestic and state cricket coming up, we want to ensure we don't repeat the mistakes we made earlier. The goal now is to perform well individually and finish the tournament on a strong note as a team, he emphasised. Simarjeet also showered praise on pace sensation Mayank Yadav, highlighting the immense value he brings to the squad both on and off the field. In my view, Mayank is the fastest bowler in India. Its great to see how involved he is in Delhi cricket. He has fun, shares stories from his time with the Indian national team, and gives invaluable motivation to the junior players. Personally, I really enjoy bowling alongside him, Simarjeet noted. Elaborating on how the duo manages their bowling partnership during high-pressure match situations, the captain explained their ongoing tactical dialogue. We talk continuously during the match about who should push at a given time and what the best options are from either end. If I am bowling, we discuss what Mayanks role should be, and vice versa. We stay closely aligned with the match situation to keep the game in our control, he added.

PNGRB approves 1,800 km LPG pipeline network worth Rs 7,000 crore
Oil sector regulator has authorised the development of nearly 1,800 km of new LPG pipelines at an estimated investment of Rs 7,000 crore, expanding the country's common-carrier LPG pipeline network by almost a quarter as it seeks to make fuel supplies more resilient and reduce dependence on road transport. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has approved three strategically important LPG pipeline projects across Telangana, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Karnataka and Goa, the regulator said in a statement. The projects, to be developed by state-run GAIL (India) Ltd, will take the PNGRB-authorised common-carrier LPG pipeline network from about 7,700 km to nearly 9,500 km, an increase of around 23.5 per cent. The expansion comes as India relies heavily on imported LPG, with bulk supplies arriving at coastal import terminals and then being transported to consumption centres across the country.
