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.

India has historically maintained leadership in the consumables and disposables segment of medical devices. Made in India products have found way into countries across the world. Now the roadmap is to build upon Indias potential as a leader in precision engineering and cost-effective medical devices and to establish it as a choice global supplier of quality, affordable medical devices.
