Hockey: India crash out of Women's World Cup after goalless draw with Australia
INDIA's hopes of reaching the Women's Hockey World Cup semifinals were dashed on Sunday after they were held to a goalless draw by Australia in their final second-round match here. With the Netherlands beating China 4-1 earlier in the day, the semifinal spot came down to India and Australia. India needed a win, while Australia only had to avoid defeat because they had scored more goals than their opponents. India survived an early scare when Australia appeared to take the lead through a close-range effort that struck Jyoti high on her body before deflecting into the net. India immediately took a referral, and the TV umpire ruled the play dangerous, preserving the 0-0 scoreline. India to Face Pakistan, England in Hockey World Cup India had a chance to break the deadlock just before half-time after winning a penalty corner, but Australia read their routine and stopped the threat. Nikki Pradhan then found space but failed to connect cleanly with her shot, completely missing the ball before it struck her foot. India pushed for the goal they needed but could not find a way through Australia's defence. The draw was enough for Australia to secure the final semifinal spot, while India's semifinal hopes ended. India had started their campaign unbeaten, drawing against China and England before beating South Africa 6-1 to advance to the second round. But a 0-2 defeat to the Netherlands in their previous match left India needing a victory against Australia.

Naveen-ul-Haq Returns To Afghanistans Squad For Upcoming T20Is Against India
The Afghanistan Cricket Board: Fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq has returned to the Afghanistan squad after recovering from a shoulder injury for the upcoming three-match T20 International series against India, scheduled to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on September 13, 15 and 17. The series will also mark Ibrahim Zadran's first assignment as Afghanistan's full-time T20I skipper after taking over from Rashid Khan. Naveen's return bolsters the pace attack after he recovered from a stress fracture in his right shoulder, an injury that had sidelined him from the bilateral series against the West Indies and the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, where Afghanistan made an early exit. He joins Fazal Haq Farooqi, Abdullah Ahmadzai and Azmatullah Omarzai in the fast-bowling department. The squad also sees the return of veteran seam-bowling all-rounder Gulbadin Naib, while uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Noor Rahman earned his maiden call-up following consistent domestic performances. The spin contingent remains formidable, featuring Rashid, Noor Ahmad, Nangyal Kharoti, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Mohammad Nabi. The Afghanistan Cricket Board has always made every effort to select a well-balanced and fully prepared squad for all relevant competitions. We have followed the same approach for the upcoming series against India, and I hope the Afghanistan team will deliver an outstanding performance in these matches. It is a great pride that Afghanistan is hosting a major cricketing nation for the first time. This reflects the progress Afghan cricket has made toward achieving its major objectives and shows that we are steadily advancing toward the strategic goals identified by the organization, said Naseeb Khan, the Afghanistan Cricket Board CEO, in a statement. The Afghanistan squad will reach India early for a preparatory camp before the series begins. The series will mark the first-ever mens bilateral T20I series between Afghanistan and India, after the two teams played in a one-off Test and three ODIs in June this year. This reflects the progress Afghan cricket has made toward achieving its major objectives and shows that we are steadily advancing toward the strategic goals identified by the organization, said Naseeb Khan, the Afghanistan Cricket Board CEO, in a statement.

National Portrait Gallery to display portrait of Dadabhai Naoroji, Britain
A portrait of Britains first Asian MP, Dadabhai Naoroji, is to go on display at the National Portrait Gallery from 2 September. The painting, which used to hang in the restaurant of the India Club in The Strand, has been carefully restored by the Courtauld Institute of Art. Naoroji , often affectionally called the grand old man of India, was a Parsi who was the Liberal Party member for Finsbury Central from 1892 to 1895. He beat the Tory candidate Frederick Penton by 2,961 votes to 2,956, a majority of only five. Naorojis election agent was one Muhammed Ali Jinnah, then a young law student at Lincolns Inn who later gave up the cause of Hindu-Muslim unity which he once had championed passionately and became the founder of Pakistan. In an 1888 speech, Prime Minister Lord Salisbury dismissively claimed that British voters were not yet ready to elect a black man to Parliament in a reference to Naoroji, adding that the House of Commons was a machine too peculiar and too delicate to be managed by any but those who have been born within these isles. One restored portrait of Dadabhai Naoroji The Courtauld Institute of Fine Arts So, the answer to the question, Who was Britains first Asian MP?, is Dadabhai Naoroji and not Keith Vaz, who was elected the Labour MP for Leicester East in 1987 and represented the constituency for 32 years until 2019. In fact, two other Asian MPs followed Naoroji, who was born and died in India (4 September 1825 30 June 1917). Sir Mancherjee Bhownaggree was elected as the Conservative MP for Bethnal Green North-East in 1895, serving until 1906. And Shapurji Saklatvala was elected in 1922 as a Communist MP (endorsed by the Labour Party) for Battersea North, serving until 1923 and again from 1924 to 1929. All three were Parsis who belonged to the Zoroastrian faith. Naorojis portrait is on a three-year loan from Yadgar Marker, who ran the India Club for 26 years on a long lease but the place was forced to close in 2023 after he was effectively ejected by the freeholders, Marston Properties. There was a long campaign to save the India Club because of its historic importance and especially as this was the location from where the India League, with its links to V K Krishna Menon, made the case for Indian independence. The campaign was ultimately unsuccessful because Marston Properties claimed they wanted to convert the building into a modern hotel and there was no room for the India Club in their plans. In the summer of 2023, Marker and his daughter, Phiroza, who jointly ran the India Club, announced its demise as almost a death in the family: It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the closure of the India Club, with our last day open to the public on 17th September. Among those who had frequented the India Club were staff from the Indian High Commission, students from the London School of Economics and Kings College London, and staff from the High Court in The Strand. It had a loyal Indian and English clientele. A typical comment when the India Club was forced to close came from historian Kusoom Vadgama, who found comfort in its surroundings on first arriving in London from Kenya in 1953: I went there in the search for Indian faces. Its passing is like a death sentence for the Indian community. Its like a murder. Malcolm Deboo speaking at Dadabhai Naoroji tribute Raj D Bakrania Three years on, the building is boarded up, with no work visible inside. Marker said he was extremely pleased that a little bit of the India Club will now live on in the National Portrait Gallery through the Naoroji portrait. The many regulars who frequented the India Club restaurant will remember that the Naoroji portrait was hung just to the right of the entrance. The smoke from the adjacent kitchen and the aroma from bhuna lamb, prawn curry, masala dosa, chilli paneer, yellow dal and other favourite dishes inevitably took their toll on the portrait oil on canvas, measuring 756 x 615 x 24 mm. Marker told Eastern Eye that while many of the fixtures and fittings from the India Club had to be given away, he kept the Naoroji portrait to one side. I telephoned the National Portrait Gallery and told them I have this portrait, he recounted. They were very interested. I said I would give it to them on loan. The portrait was inspected in Markers apartment by Sarah Moulden, the NPGs senior curator of 19th-century collections, who was accompanied by a colleague. She was very excited, Marker remembered. Marker gave his consent to the portrait being restored by the prestigious Courtauld Institute of Art under a programme known as Painting Pairs. This is described as an annual collaborative research initiative that partners graduate art history and curating students with second-year easel painting conservation students to jointly investigate selected works of art. Each team consists of a student from art history, curating, or the PhD track paired with a future conservator from the MA Conservation of Easel Paintings course. Marker revealed that on one occasion, a thief tried to steal the Naoroji portrait from the India Club. The canvas had even been removed from the frame but the theft was stopped in time. Amit Roy But a portrait of Saklatvala was lost, he said. Marker is grateful to the NPG for footing the entire cost of restoring the Naoroji portrait, which will be displayed in the NPGs Empire and Resistance gallery from Wednesday 2 September. On behalf of the NPG, Moulden told Eastern Eye : We are delighted to be showing this portrait of Dadabhai Naoroji, who was such a remarkable figure in British political life in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. As one of the first Asian MPs in Britain [he was, in fact, the first] and a leading critic of colonial rule in India, he helped shape debates about empire and self-government. Painted after Naorojis death, probably from photographs, by the Indian artist Sorab M Pithawalla, the portrait was sent from what was then Bombay to London to hang in the India Club, which once stood just a short walk from the National Portrait Gallery. Its wonderful to bring Naoroji back into view through this portrait, and to share the story of a man whose life reflects the close connections between Britain and the wider world. Putting up the portrait also signifies a seminal moment for the NPG, which allows it to engage with the British Asian community, judging from the comments made by Lord Karan Bilimoria. While Naoroji was the first Parsi to enter the Commons, Bilimoria is the first Parsi to get a peerage (in 2006). Bilimoria said: The restoration and forthcoming display of Dadabhai Naorojis portrait at the National Portrait Gallery is a profoundly important moment. For decades, it hung in the India Club, a cherished meeting place for generations of Indians in Britain, which has sadly closed. I remember being taken there as an 11-year-old by my father Lieutenant General Faridoon Bilimoria when he was posted in England as a Lieutenant Colonel, continued Bilimoria. And years later I was proud that the India Club was one of the first establishments to sell Cobra Beer, the brand I founded. It is fitting that Dadabhai Naoroji should now be represented in one of Britains foremost national institutions, the National Portrait Gallery. His story belongs at the heart of British history and reflects the longstanding contribution of British Asians to this country. Bilimoria added: I was proud to have recently hosted an event in Parliament marking the 200th anniversary of Dadabhai Naorojis birth and celebrating his remarkable legacy. Known as the Grand Old Man of India, he was a businessman, academic, economist, nationalist and politician. In 1892, he overcame immense prejudice to become the first Indian and first Asian elected to the British Parliament. As a fellow Parsi, businessman, academic and parliamentarian, I have always felt a special affinity with him. The display of his restored portrait is a fitting tribute to his courage, achievements and enduring influence. Exactly 20 years ago, in 2006, I was proud to follow in his footsteps as the first Zoroastrian Parsi to be appointed to the House of Lords. I read Dadabhai Naorojis maiden speech before I made my own. In my maiden speech, I paid tribute to him. He has been an enduring inspiration to Indians over the years, and Mahatma Gandhi looked up to Dadabhai Naoroji as a mentor. In a letter to Dadabhai Naoroji from South Africa in 1894 a young Mahatma Gandhi wrote, The Indians look up to you as children to the father. Such is really the feeling here. Eastern Eye has gone through the report on the work involved in lovingly restoring the Naoroji portrait. It said: This paper presents the results of the collaborative research project conducted by MA History of Art student Benjamin Singer, and MA Conservation of Easel Paintings student Ursula Griffiths, as part of the Painting Pairs Project (2024-25) organised by The Courtauld Institute of Art, London. Alongside the project, the painting was brought to the conservation studios at The Courtauld for conservation treatment, undertaken by Ursula Griffiths. The painting, a posthumous oil painted portrait of Dadabhai Naoroji, was executed by Sorab Pithawalla in 1946, and hung in The India Club, London, from its acquisition in 1946 until the establishment closed in 2023. Dadabhai Naoroji portrait at India Club Amit Roy It went on: The sitter, Dadabhai Naoroji (1825-1917), is a highly significant figure in the Indian Nationalist movement and was notable in his career as an Indian activist, scholar, economist and the first Asian MP in Britain. Naoroji is depicted in half-length wearing a black shirt and coat, set against a dark brown background. The artist, Sorab Pithawalla (1911-1959), is a second-generation artist of the western academic school of painting in India, which itself emerged during British governance of India, disseminated through western art schools. Stating that Naoroji inspired others, it said that he acted as a model in this regard for the South Asian MPs who followed in his footsteps. Sir Mancherjee Bhownaggree, a fellow Parsi of Indian heritage, was elected to serve as the MP for Bethnal Green in the election immediately following Naorojis, in 1895. Photographic and artistic depictions of Bhownaggree alike depict him as having treaded a similar line with his fashion as Naoroji: he adopts the traditional dark suit and grey trousers typical of the late 19th century British MP and, perhaps, goes even further than Naoroji in this regard with his willingness to adorn a bright, white undershirt. Though from a slightly later temporal period, Shapurji Saklatvala was the next MP of Indian descent to be elected, in 1922; photographs of him show similar decisions in his self-fashioning as Naoroji and Bhownaggree. These men would likely have looked to Naorojis example or, at the very least, have been aware of it and, therefore, their decisions with regard to self-fashioning can thus help cement an understanding of Naorojis. It seems all three men felt the need to find a way to mix loyalty with their heritage and aesthetic fitting-in with their new colleagues. The report pointed out that Pithawallas depiction of Naoroji was not painted during the figures life but, rather, nearly three decades after he had passed away. The precise date of the paintings execution is known since it is signed and dated on both its verso and recto, both reading: Sorab M. Pithawalla, Bombay, 1946 . Given the temporal gap between Naorojis death in 1917 and Pithawallas decision to execute this portrait, it is of import to determine why Pithawalla felt compelled to choose Naoroji as a subject in this moment. As it turns out, 1946 was an immensely consequential year in Bombay. At the outset of the year, on February 18th, the sailors of the R.I.N. (Royal Indian Navy) raised their voices against the authorities with practically no warning. The report added: The painting is executed on a densely woven canvas, presumed to be linen, stretched over a wooden four-member, keyable stretcher. The priming layers, a chalk and animal glue ground layer followed by a lead white oil priming layer, extend to all the cut edges of the canvas except for on the right, suggesting both that it has been commercially primed and that the piece for this painting was cut from the beginning or end of a roll. It is likely, however, that the canvas was stretched over the stretcher by the artist himself, as a result of the uneven distribution of excess material and the disparity between the folding of each corner. An animal-glue size layer has been applied over the lead white oil priming, which was likely applied by the artist as an additional priming layer. India Club restaurant Amit Roy Notable in scientific analysis of paint cross sections taken across the painting, was that zinc was a component of all paint layers, and the upper ground layer. The presence of this element, and the absence of zinc-based pigments, suggests that zinc-stearate is an additive within the paint. Such a finding is indicative of commercially available tube paints such as those produced by Windsor and Newton, produced in the twentieth century, where zinc stearate was found to be a component of paint formulations as a dispersing agent. The range of different oil painting techniques used by Sorab Pithawalla in this portrait speak to exceptional skill in the handling and use of oil painting as a medium, likely inherited from his father and reflecting the initial teachings of John Griffiths at The Sir Jamshedjee Jeejeebhoy School of Art. The report said: Upon its completion, Sorab Pithawallas Portrait of Dadabhai Naoroji, hung in the India Club in London. On the walls of the club, Naoroji was joined by portraits of other significant Indian activities and figures, such as Mahatma Gandhi and Krishna Menon. Below these portraits existed tables, a restaurant, and a space in which conversation flourished. Set in the heart of the London, the club acted as home away from home for Indian Nationals and their allies in London and provided a space to have important discourses about India, England, and the world; a space in which the Indian perspective could be formulated and broadcast to the surrounding city and country. How the legacies and portraits of Naoroji, and his fellow icons, shaped these discourses is an important point for further inquiry. In this way, the club sat squarely in the physical and theoretical centre of Indo-British relations, forming the perfect place to hang this portrait which in every way sat at that exact same intersection. The report emphasised: The long career of Dadabhai Naoroji spanned a variety of locations, fields, and time periods. An activist, academic, and eventually a formal politician, Naoroji built a career from within the British system with the goal of tearing it down. In 2017, many tributes were paid to Naoroji at functions to mark the centenary of his death in 1917. One was held by the Zoroastrian Trust Funds of Europe (ZTFE) at the Zoroastrian Centre, Harrow Naoroji became the founder trustee of the organisation in 1861 and served as its president until 1907. The organisations president, Malcolm Deboo, gave a talk ZTFE Trustee & President Dadabhai Naoroji: Interfaith, Gandhiji & Emancipation of the Zoroastrian in Iran touching on Naorojis many achievements. Yadgar Marker and his daughter Phiroza in front of a portrait of Krishna Menon at the India Club Amit Roy During his 91 years Dadabhai achieved many firsts, said Deboo. In 1855 he was the first Indian to hold an academic position in colonial India, when he was appointed Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Elphinstone College, Bombay. Later in 1855 Dadabhai, together with Seth Muncherji Hormusji Cama and Khurshedji Rustomji Cama, travelled to London opening Cama & Co in the City of London, which was the first Indian trading firm to be established in Britain. In 1859, he became the first Indian to be appointed Professor of Gujarati at University College London. In 1861, together with Seth Muncherji, Dadabhai established the Zoroastrian Trust Funds of Europe (ZTFE), which today is the oldest Indian/ Asian faith based voluntary organisation in the UK. Dadabhai was a multi-faceted man he was a Philomath who had varied interests, Deboo said. Besides being a politician, Dadabhai was a Zoroastrian priest, he was interested in inter-faith dialogue, he was an educator who promoted education for girls when it was unfashionable, he was a trader and an investor. Commenting on the portrait being displayed at the NPG, Deboo said: This is wonderful news. He added that the trust and the Zoroastrian community are delighted and will be visiting the National Portrait Gallery to view the restored portrait of Dadabhai Naoroji. The trust is grateful to Yadgar Markar of the India Club for loaning the portrait of Dadabhai Naoroji and to the National Portrait Gallery for restoring and exhibiting the portrait.

Enzo Maresca hails 'perfect day' as City rally 2-1 win; Liverpool draw late
A big welcome from the fans at the start. A stoppage-time winner at the end. For Enzo Maresca, it was the perfect day as he earned his first victory as Manchester City manager. City produced a stirring late rally in Maresca's first Premier League game in charge, scoring twice in the final 10 minutes to grab a 2-1 win at home to Bournemouth on Sunday.

India women bow out of Hockey World Cup after goalless draw with Australia
The Indian women's hockey team succumbed to the pressure of a must-win match and were knocked out of semi-final contention after playing out a goalless draw against Australia here on Saturday. India needed a win to advance to the last four while a draw was enough for the Aussies to make it to the last four on the basis of more number of goals scored. The goal difference for both teams stood identical at minus two but Australia had three strikes compared to India's two. Both teams had drawn their opening Pool D match against China. The Indian team, which had performed brilliantly before losing to the Netherlands by two goals in the first match of the second leg, looked out of rhythm on the day. They missed several chances and struggled to retain possession against Australia, ranked just one place above them.

New Nail Fungus Device Tries to Cut Clinic Trips
Nail fungus is one of those problems that seems small until it is not. It is slow to treat, easy to ignore, and stubborn enough that people can spend months applying medication or visiting clinicians without knowing whether they are making progress. South Korean startup Medicell Healthcare wants to make that routine more visible and more repeatable with a clinic-based laser system called the Mycosis Laser . When I met Brian Kangsoo Lim (Medicells CEO) in Korea, the most interesting part of his pitch was not the laser itself. It was the operating model around it. Medicell is trying to sell clinics and salons on an easily operated foot-care service: the hardware, treatment workflow, and business know-how together. Its important because nail fungus care is mostly an adherence problem . The FDA cleared the Medicell Mycosis Laser in March 2026 for the temporary increase of clear nails in patients with onychomycosis, the medical term for fungal nail infection (see FDA 510(k) database ). The American Academy of Dermatology makes the same distinction: lasers are FDA-approved to improve the appearance of a nail after the infection has cleared, not to treat the fungal infection itself (see AAD guidance ). Plenty of people want their nails to look normal again, but a clearer-looking nail is not necessarily proof that the fungus is completely gone. Medicells device uses 405 nm and 635 nm diode lasers. The FDAs 510(k) summary describes the system as producing a photochemical reaction and notes that it has an LCD monitor to help an operator check the treatment area. It can treat both feet simultaneously, with selectable 12-, 15-, or 20-minute sessions. The company says its built-in camera helps position treatment more accurately and describes the system as low-pain. We mentioned the adherence problem earlier: prescription topical treatments can demand daily use for roughly 48 weeks (12 months) , but according to the AAD, while a toenail itself can take 12 to 18 month s to grow out. That gives any treatment provider a practical challenge: people can feel like the problem is gone and stop coming for treatment. It is similar to not taking your antibiotics all the way as prescribed. Medicell says its own treatment schedule involves weekly sessions over many months. During our conversation, Lim argued that a visible, warm clinic procedure could motivate people to stick with a routine more consistently than an oil or topical product at home. That is not proof, but it is a sensible observation about behavior. Consumers often do not abandon a treatment because they think theyve already reached the goal when the symptoms fade out. The business logic follows from there: rather than simply selling a large device to dermatology clinics, Medicell is pitching foot care centers that could operate inside clinics or alongside nail-service businesses. The company says it has been building this franchise-style model in Korea, while also exploring U.S. pilots and a smaller home-use concept. The home version is where the strategy could become much more interesting (to me!), and potentially harder. Lim described a smaller, single-foot device aimed at people who do not want to drive to a clinic every week. In the U.S., distance and appointment friction are real barriers. However, the FDA-cleared Mycosis Laser is not the same thing as a cleared home-use product. Medicell would need to establish the regulatory path, safety controls, instructions, and real-world performance for any consumer version before treating it as a market-ready extension. Medicell was founded in 2020, and its Mycosis Laser is now its clearest test case. The companys thesis will be proven only if clinics and consumers keep returning, if its operating model works beyond a small set of early locations, and if it can show clinical outcomes that go beyond a before-and-after image. The company is now out to earning trust. New Nail Fungus Device Tries to Cut Clinic Trips , original content from Ubergizmo . Read our Copyrights and terms of use .

QUAZAR Helps Buyers Avoid Luxury Fakes
QUAZAR is betting that a luxury handbags stitching, hardware, logo placement, and even tiny surface details can become more useful than a serial-number tag. After all, thats how experts catch fake products. The Korean startup wants shoppers, resellers, and retailers to use guided smartphone photos to identify counterfeits and eventually connect the result to a Digital Product Passport, or DPP, containing product information for regulators and supply-chain partners. That is an ambitious pitch, but the consumer problem is real. In luxury resale, the buyer often cannot inspect an item until after money has changed hands. A counterfeit that looks convincing in listing photos can turn a supposedly smart secondhand purchase into an expensive dispute. OECD and EUIPO research estimates that global trade in counterfeit goods reached $467 billion in 2021, equal to 2.3% of world trade. Its probably much higher now. I met QUAZAR CEO Myunghyun Kim in person in Seoul. The practical question behind its pitch is simple: can a camera and software make authentication less dependent on shipping an item to a specialist or waiting for a human appraisal? That is a useful goal, especially for a resale market where trust is the product. QUAZAR says its system examines visual signature points, including stitching, logos, hardware, patterns, and product codes, then compares them with reference data. Its public site describes this as AI-assisted: users upload images and product metadata, and the system looks for evidence that supports an authenticity decision. The investor I saw showed a one smartphone photo clean demo message, but reliable product inspection often depends on image quality, angle, lighting, category, and the available reference data. In a 2025 interview with WOWTALE , Kim said guided photos were important for luxury authentication. For a real buyer, that means QUAZARs value will depend not only on the models accuracy, but also on whether the app can guide an ordinary person through taking the best input images, which makes sense. The companys second bet is that authentication can become the front end for product compliance. Its deck says each verified item can receive a blockchain-backed Digital Product Passport. The broader DPP idea is not speculative: the European Commission launched the EU DPP Registry in July, and DPP requirements will be introduced product by product. There is a real compliance opportunity, but not an immediate deadline for every fashion or packaging exporter. QUAZAR will need to prove that it can meet the detailed, sector-specific requirements as they emerge. QUAZAR says it has built a large genuine-and-counterfeit image dataset and reported 94.5% detection accuracy in testing. Its investor deck lists a Hyundai Department Store proof of concept and discussions with other retail and resale partners. The company was founded in 2020 and began with luxury authentication before expanding its pitch toward a broader physical intelligence platform.

World Wisdom Forum : J&Ks youth power key to Indias development story: LG
New Delhi, Aug 23: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday highlighted the transformation in Jammu and Kashmir, noting the region's immense potential in youth power, natural resources, tourism, horticulture, handicrafts, and hydropower. He urged industry leaders to actively invest in the Union Territory, ensuring it becomes a vital contributor to India's development story. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has created confidence and opened new avenues for the youth in Jammu Kashmir. It is the collective responsibility of Industry now to make Jammu and Kashmir a subject of constructive action. We must recognise its hydropower potential. Connect its horticulture, tourism and handicrafts with global markets. The intervention of industry leaders in every sector of Jammu Kashmir will be an investment in India's future, Sinha said as he addressed the World Wisdom Forum, organised by the IIT Alumni Council in New Delhi. In his keynote address, the Lieutenant Governor congratulated the Council for its efforts in bringing together eminent personalities to deliberate on the theme of Viksit Bharat and India's collective future. We must create the future rather than purchase it by becoming not just a consumer but a global creator of technologies, innovations, and ideas. We must resolve that we will not merely use artificial intelligence; we will also contribute to the future of artificial intelligence. We must resolve that we will not import innovation; we will export innovation, he said. The LG emphasised the importance of unity in progress and underscored that India's journey towards becoming a developed nation must be inclusive, rooted in tradition yet forward-looking, and balanced between technological strength and human sensitivity. I believe that when a group of people from different sectors has a deep desire to achieve something, the pain and intensity of that yearning can ultimately become the means of achieving it. Just as a seed buried in the soil is restless to germinate, if the energy of a nation becomes intensely eager to achieve its goals, nothing is impossible, he said. Reflecting on India's aspirations under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sinha said the seed of Viksit Bharat has already sprouted and historic milestones have been achieved in the past 12 years. The Lieutenant Governor identified five major challenges that eminent personalities, industries, business leaders, and engineers must address together to realise the vision of Viksit Bharat. First, transforming India's vast young population into a skilled workforce equipped with expertise in emerging technologies is important for us and also ensuring sustainable development by balancing progress with environmental responsibility. Second, we need to strengthen institutions by building transparent, accountable, and efficient institutions responsive to citizens' needs. Third, we should focus on ensuring balanced regional development by bridging gaps between advanced cities and underserved regions to create equitable growth. Fourth, we must create the future rather than purchase it by becoming not just a consumer but a global creator of technologies, innovations, and ideas. Fifth, we must resolve that we will not merely use artificial intelligence; we will also contribute to the future of artificial intelligence. We must resolve that we will not import innovation; we will export innovation, he said. The Lieutenant Governor urged the younger generation to prepare themselves for the responsibilities of 2047, when India will celebrate 100 years of independence, and to ensure that the nation's progress uplifts every region and community. The new generation, which will be at the peak of its careers and energy in 2047, must ask itself today: When India becomes a developed nation, what will you be creating? What impact will my creation have on society, and how will it affect people's lives? Although eminent personalities are engaged in different activities, I strongly believe that together they are creating one common thingthe future of India. We must contribute to the welfare of our country, society and humanity as a whole, the Lieutenant Governor said. Shashank Mani Tripathi, Member of Parliament; Ravi Sharma, President, IIT Alumni Council; Dr. Ashish Chauhan, MD & CEO, National Stock Exchange (NSE); eminent alumni of IIT and prominent citizens from different walks of life were present.

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.
