Maiden workshop onNational Security Journalism concludes at RRU Gujarat
Ahmedabad, Aug 6: India's maiden residential workshop on National Security Journalism organised by Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU), Gujarat concluded on Thursday. During the workshop, the participants were urged to uphold accuracy, responsibility and ethical standards while reporting on complex national security issues. As many as 42 journalists, research scholars and academicians from across the country participated in the workshop organised under the aegis of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India. The workshop was organised by the School of International Cooperation, Security and Strategic Languages (SICSSL) to enhance journalists' understanding of national security and strategic affairs and strengthen their capacity for informed, fact-based reporting. Among 42 participants were five journalists from Kashmir- Muneeb-ul-Haq, Sheikh Saleem Bin Ahmad, Syed Rizwan Geelani, Suhail Khan and Waris Fayaz. During the valedictory function, Vice Chancellor RRU Gujarat spoke about the growing importance of presenting credible narratives on national security in an increasingly competitive global information environment. Referring to discussions held following Operation Sindoor, he said there was a growing need to ensure that India's perspective and the realities on the ground were presented accurately in the international media. He said the university had consistently benefited from inputs received through the National Security Advisory Board and stressed the importance of developing a cadre of journalists capable of reporting security issues with professionalism and responsibility. The workshop combined classroom learning with practical exposure to contemporary security challenges, including Left Wing Extremism, narcotics trafficking, cyber security, Northeast and Jammu and Kashmir. During the 11-day workshop, the participants visited premier national security institutions, including the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), NDRF and other security establishments, providing them first-hand exposure to the functioning and operational realities of India's security forces. Throughout the programme, the participants interacted with senior security practitioners, journalists, defence officers, law enforcement officials, cyber experts and behavioural specialists to gain multidisciplinary perspectives on emerging security issues. An interactive session was also held with the National Security Guard (NSG), during which participants witnessed demonstrations and interacted with NSG personnel to understand the force's specialised counter-terrorism role and the complexities involved in reporting sensitive security operations responsibly. Also, Executive Editor of CNN-News18 Shawan Sen delivered a session on embedded journalism in conflict zones, drawing upon his frontline reporting experience. He discussed the challenges journalists face in balancing operational restrictions with editorial independence and emphasised the importance of contextual, ethical and accurate reporting during conflicts. Additional Director of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Ketan Baliram Patil, talked about reporting drug trafficking and organised crime, stressing accuracy, legal awareness and restraint while covering narcotics-related investigations to avoid compromising ongoing operations. Similarly, Inspector General (Operations), CRPF, Gyanendra Kumar Verma, during his session talked about the role of media in conflict situations, citing India's experience with Left Wing Extremism. Gyanendra, who earlier served as IG CRPF, Kashmir also spoke about the influence of media narratives on public perception and highlighted the need for responsible reporting to counter misinformation and support long-term stabilisation efforts. Besides, Judge Supreme Court of India, Justice Aravind Kumar addressed the participants and talked about the the constitutional and judicial dimensions of national security. He discussed the balance between individual rights and executive powers while emphasising accountability, legality and institutional coordination in addressing evolving security challenges. The workshop was designed to develop a professionally equipped pool of journalists capable of reporting on national security with greater depth, analytical rigour and ethical responsibility, contributing to informed public discourse on issues of national importance.
J&K power deficit shrinks from 19.1% to 0.1% in 12 years
Srinagar, Aug 06: In what could be termed as a major achievement, Jammu & Kashmir has generated 1,96,415.59 Million Units (MU) of electricity from all sources between 2014-15 and 2025-26, while simultaneously slashing its annual energy shaortfall from 19.1 per cent to just 0.1 per cent during the period, the data on the latest state-wise power generation and supply by Ministry of Power revealed. According to the details, accessed by Rising Kashmir, the Union Territory generated 14,687.20 MU in 2014-15, which rose to 15,313.52 MU in 2015-16 and 15,703.82 MU in 2016-17. Generation stood at 15,261.93 MU in 2017-18, increased to 16,853.78 MU in 2018-19, and reached its highest level of 18,537.25 MU in 2019-20. Power generation remained above 17,000 MU for the next three financial years, recording 17,441.97 MU in 2020-21, 17,489.83 MU in 2021-22 and 17,170.62 MU in 2022-23. It subsequently declined to 16,282.93 MU in 2023-24 and 15,595.82 MU in 2024-25, before recovering to 16,076.92 MU in 2025-26. During the first quarter of 2026-27 (Till June 2026), the UT generated 5,812.82 MU. Overall, Jammu & Kashmir generated around 1,96,415.59 MU of electricity between 2014-15 and 2025-26. With the output for April-June 2026, the cumulative generation touched over 2.02 lakh MU. The figures indicate that while the Union Territory has maintained relatively stable electricity generation over the years, it continues to rank in the middle tier among states and Union Territories. It generates considerably more electricity than several smaller states and UTs, including Goa, Sikkim, Tripura, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. However, Jammu & Kashmir remains well behind the country's major power-producing states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and Karnataka, each of which records annual generation several times higher than the UT. The national power generation from all sources increased from 11,10,392.27 MU in 2014-15 to 18,47,941.44 MU in 2025-26, reflecting a steady rise in electricity production across the country, the data reveals. Official data indicated that the annual power demand has crossed over 3,500 MW in recent years, while local generation often falls well short of the requirement during winter, necessitating large-scale imports of electricity. Moreover, the power supply data shows a clear improvement in Jammu & Kashmir over the last 12 years, with the gap between energy requirement and availability narrowing sharply. The data also points to a marked improvement in Jammu & Kashmir's power supply position over the years. The Union Territory's annual energy requirement increased from 16,214 MU in 2014-15 to 20,185 MU in 2025-26, while energy availability rose from 13,119 MU to 20,166 MU during the same period. Consequently, the gap between demand and supply narrowed significantly. The energy not supplied dropped from 3,095 MU (19.1%) in 2014-15 to just 19 MU (0.1%) in 2025-26. After remaining above 3,000 MU between 2016-17 and 2019-20, the deficit declined steadily to 2,551 MU in 2020-21, 1,524 MU in 2021-22, 317 MU in 2022-23, 277 MU in 2023-24, 90 MU in 2024-25, and 19 MU in 2025-26, indicating a near-elimination of the annual energy shortfall.

Antlia Engineering Works Strengthens Its Position as One of India's Leading AODD Pump Manufacturers
At a time when industries are demanding more reliable and efficient fluid handling solutions, Meet Jain, Founder of Antlia Engineering Works , is building one of India's emerging industrial pump manufacturers by focusing on engineering excellence rather than reinventing proven technology. Specializing in Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pumps, Antlia Engineering Works has grown by delivering dependable pumping solutions for industries including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, paints, wastewater treatment, mining, and oil & gas. "Some things aren't disrupted because they're already perfect. The AODD pump is one of them—and Meet Jain has built a business on that foundation." Antlia Engineering Works, a leading AODD Pump Manufacturer in India, provides reliable industrial pumps for chemical processing and fluid handling applications The Call That Started Everything Air Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) pump manufacturer. Meet Jain was excited, ambitious and ready to build something significant. What he heard on the other end of that call would define the next decade of his life. "What value addition will you bring to my company?" the owner asked. Then: "What's your MOQ?" That was the end of that conversation. Rather than being discouraged, Meet made a different call to a mid-level manufacturer who gave Antlia Engineering Works the importance a new business deserved. Best pricing. Excellent after-sales service. And crucially, a willingness to co-develop products. Together, they developed a flap-type AODD pump that would become a cornerstone of Antlia's product range. Within three years, Antlia became that manufacturer's top purchaser. The foundation was set. The Decision That Changed Everything Growth, however, rarely travels in a straight line. When their supplier raised prices by 30–35% overnight, Meet faced one of the most consequential decisions of Antlia's journey: absorb the cost, or rebuild the supply chain from scratch. He chose the harder path. Antlia shifted its entire aod pump manufacturing operation from Vasai to Gujarat, a move that initially demanded significant investment, coordination, and patience. The result was transformative. Better quality. Better after-sales service. A stronger partnership built on mutual respect rather than dependency. Five years on, India's biggest AODD pump manufacturer has been actively approaching Antlia for over a year, hoping to win back their business. The student had become the standard. Building One of India's Leading AODD Pump Manufacturers Today, Antlia Engineering Works is recognised as one of India's largest AODD Pump manufacturers. Founded in 2017 and ISO 9001:2015 certified, the company manufactures a comprehensive range of Air Operated Double Diaphragm pumps available in Polypropylene (PP), Stainless Steel 316 (SS316), PVDF and Aluminium alongside barrel pumps and centrifugal pumps, serving the chemical, pharmaceutical, paint, oil & gas and automotive industries. The AODD pump invented by Jim Wilden in 1955 has remained fundamentally unchanged for 70 years, and for good reason. It requires no electricity, is intrinsically safe near flammable fluids, self-primes, runs dry without damage, handles abrasive slurries and operates submerged. No other pump technology replicates this combination of capabilities. Antlia has built its reputation on mastering and manufacturing this irreplaceable technology. The company's client roster reflects the trust it has earned: Ministry of Defence, Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), Asian Paints, ITC, Godrej, Adani Solar, Coca-Cola, and 3M a global brand that found Antlia through a Google search and reached out directly, without a single cold call. Thinking Global From a Mumbai Factory With exports to over 20 countries including the USA, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Kenya, South Africa, Australia, Ghana, Nigeria, Nepal, Chile, and beyond. Meet's vision for Antlia has always extended beyond Indian borders. In 2024, that global thinking took a concrete digital form. Antlia became one of the first Indian industrial pump manufacturers to launch a fully multilingual website available in English, French, and Arabic. The reasoning was strategic: over 300 million French speakers across Africa and Europe search and buy in their language, not English. The Middle East, home to some of the world's largest oil and gas companies relies on Arabic-language search. Google's algorithm rewards local-language content with higher rankings in local search results. If your website doesn't speak your customer's language, it effectively doesn't exist for them. Antlia also holds GeM (Government e-Marketplace) seller registration, Ministry of Defence approval, and has exhibited at industrial trade expos in Indore, Hyderabad, and Delhi with international exhibition plans in the pipeline. Redefining How Industrial Equipment Is Bought in India In a sector still largely defined by phone calls, distributor networks, and long procurement cycles, Meet made a move that no Indian AODD pump manufacturer had attempted before: he launched a direct diaphragm pump e-commerce website where customers can purchase AODD pumps online, directly from the manufacturer. Antlia's e-commerce platform is different in a fundamental way: the company that designs, manufactures, tests and services the pump is the same company taking your order. No resellers. No markups. No middlemen. Accurate specifications, application guidance, and after-sales support are built into the purchase, not bolted on after. This manufacturer-to-customer direct model, rare anywhere in the world for industrial pump equipment, is a signal of where Antlia is headed: a modern, digitally-native industrial company that happens to make world-class pumps. The Man Behind the Machine Meet Jain is the founder and owner of Antlia Engineering Works. With over a decade of experience spanning B2B sales, strategic partnerships, manufacturing operations, and international trade, he brings a rare combination of technical depth and commercial sharpness to industrial manufacturing. Meet Jain holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from NMIMS-MPSTME and an MBA from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (JBIMS) one of India's most prestigious business schools while simultaneously building Antlia Pumps. At Antlia, he personally oversees product quality, customer delivery and technical support ensuring that every pump leaving the factory meets the stringent standards demanded by defence establishments, PSUs, and global industrial clients. What's Next for Antlia Antlia Engineering Works has grown into a globally exporting, ISO 9001:2015 certified, Ministry of Defence-approved manufacturer with clients spanning some of India's most demanding industries and over 20 countries worldwide. With international trade exhibition plans in Southeast Asia, a multilingual digital presence, a direct e-commerce channel, and a YouTube channel whose technical content has crossed 465k organic views. Antlia is building the digital and physical infrastructure to serve industrial customers across the world. Meet Jain is betting that the company he has built around it will last just as long.

Railway officers torchbearers of New Indias pace, capability and resolve: LG Sinha
Srinagar, Aug 04: The Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today addressed and congratulated the officer trainees of the Indian Railways Institute of Transport Management, Lucknow, who are on the field visit to Jammu Kashmir. The Lieutenant Governor highlighted their important role in shaping the future of the Indian Railway Management Service (IRMS) and expressed immense pleasure in interacting with the 69 officer trainees selected through the Civil Services Examination in 2022, 2023, and 2024 batch. You are the torchbearers of New Indias pace, capability, and resolve. The diversity of backgrounds among the trainees, spanning engineering, medicine, law, science, and the arts, and representing states/UTs across the country including Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, West Bengal, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Odisha, and Chandigarh, reflects the soul of India. This diversity transforms into a shared national purpose during training, making the Institute a true laboratory of national unity, the Lieutenant Governor said. The Lieutenant Governor emphasized the key role of Indian Railways in Indias transformation. He highlighted the progress achieved over the past 12 years under the leadership of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Electrification at record levels, the expansion of the dedicated Freight Corridor, the realization of the dream of connecting Kashmir to Kanyakumari, the launch of world-class Vande Bharat trains, and modernization of stations under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme are hallmarks of this new era. It must be noted by the officer trainees that Indian Railways is no longer just a passenger transport system but the driving force of economic development, logistics efficiency, and national unity, he said. The Lieutenant Governor urged the officer trainees to embrace their responsibilities as tough administrators and also as nation-builders. He also stressed the importance of efficiency in freight and passenger transportation. Every minute saved reduces logistics costs, strengthens industry competitiveness, and enhances Indias global standing. Officers of IRMS, IRPFS, and Accounts must balance administrative discipline with human sensitivity, ensuring safety, financial prudence, and public service, he said. The Lieutenant Governor outlined three guiding principles for the trainees including continuous innovation through digital technology, artificial intelligence, and data-driven systems, citizen-first service with respect, accessibility, and sensitivity for all passengers and freight customers and integrity and transparency as custodians of unprecedented national investments in Indian Railways. India is moving forward with confidence towards becoming a developed nation by 2047. Your decisions, strategies, and leadership will directly shape the future of millions of Indians. I hope you will remain dedicated to the selfless service of Mother India, lighting the path to a bright and prosperous future, the Lieutenant Governor said. Rahul, Course Director and Professor (Traffic Planning & Costing), officials and faculty members of Indian Railways Institute of Transport Management were also present.
