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.

Six J&K cricketers named in North Zone squad; Kanhaiya Wadhawan to lead team
Jammu, Aug 3: In what is being hailed as one of the biggest milestones in Jammu and Kashmir cricket, six cricketers from the Union Territory have been selected for the North Zone squad, with wicketkeeper-batter Kanhaiya Wadhawan being named captain. The development marks a watershed moment for J&K cricket, which until a few seasons ago celebrated the selection of just one or two players in the prestigious inter-zonal team. This time, however, J&K has emerged as the joint-highest contributor alongside Delhi, underlining the Union Territory's rapid rise in domestic cricket. According to highly placed sources, the six J&K players selected are Kanhaiya Wadhawan (captain), Qamran Iqbal, Abdul Samad, Abid Mushtaq, Sunil Kumar and Yudhvir Singh. The 15-member squad also includes Sanat Sangwan, Yash Dhull, Ayush Doseja and vice-captain Ayush Badoni from Delhi; Nishant Sindhu, Anshul Kamboj and Nikhil Kashyap from Haryana; Arshdeep Singh from Punjab; and Arjun Sharma from Services. Wadhawan's appointment as captain makes the achievement even more significant, reflecting the confidence of the North Zone selectors in the J&K wicketkeeper-batter's leadership abilities and consistent performances. J&K's unprecedented representation is widely seen as a testament to the Union Territory's growing stature in Indian domestic cricket after a string of impressive performances over the past few seasons. The Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) has evolved from being an occasional contributor to one of the strongest talent pools in the North Zone. With six players in the squad and the captaincy entrusted to a J&K cricketer, the announcement marks one of the most significant moments in the history of J&K cricket. Adding to the achievement, J&K senior team coach Ajay Sharma has also been appointed head coach of the North Zone team.

Srinagar, Jul 31: Anganwadi workers in Jammu and Kashmir receive one of the lowest additional honorarium top-ups in the country, with the Union Territory providing just 600 per month to Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) and 300 to Anganwadi Helpers (AWHs), the Union Government informed Parliament on Friday. The information was shared by the Ministry of Women and Child Development in a written reply in the Lok Sabha, highlighting wide disparities in additional financial support extended by States and Union Territories to Anganwadi workers under the Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 scheme. According to the ministry, the Centre provides a monthly honorarium of 4,500 to Anganwadi Workers and 2,250 to Anganwadi Helpers under the cost-sharing arrangement with States and UTs. In addition, workers receive performance-linked incentives of 500 and 250, respectively. With the UT administration's additional top-up, an Anganwadi Worker in Jammu and Kashmir receives 5,600 per month, excluding the performance-linked incentive, while an Anganwadi Helper receives 2,550.

The ministry informed Parliament that the central honorarium was last revised on October 1, 2018, when it was increased from 3,000 to 4,500 for Anganwadi Workers and from 1,500 to 2,250 for Helpers. States and UTs are free to provide additional incentives from their own resources. Responding to questions on improving service conditions, the ministry said no decision has been taken to further enhance the central honorarium or restore travel allowances. The Centre reiterated that Anganwadi Workers and Helpers are honorary workers drawn from local communities who provide child care, nutrition and early childhood development services under the Integrated Child Development Services framework. The ministry also highlighted welfare measures available to Anganwadi workers, including 20 days of annual leave, 180 days of paid maternity leave, healthcare coverage of up to 5 lakh under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, eligibility for the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan pension scheme, and insurance coverage under the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana.

What once seemed like science fiction is now accessible with just a few taps on a digital device. As AI becomes more common, a defining question is emerging: will it replace human intelligence? A more important question is: What qualities will always make us human? The answer is not speed or memory. It is critical thinking, the ability to ask questions, examine information carefully, compare different viewpoints and make informed decisions. It helps people separate facts from opinions, recognise different perspectives and understand why something matters instead of simply accepting it. In an age of instant answers, this ability becomes even more valuable. Learning and the pursuit of knowledge have long been an important part of life in Kashmir. Artificial intelligence can make knowledge more accessible and improve productivity, but it cannot replace the human qualities that give learning its true value. Technology may change how people work, but it does not change the importance of wisdom, understanding and sound judgment. AI is remarkably good at finding information, summarising long documents, translating languages and identifying patterns. It can save time, improve productivity and make many daily activities easier. However, AI remains a tool. It does not possess human experience, emotions, values or responsibility. It generates responses by recognising patterns in data rather than understanding the world in the way people do. Therefore, AI should be seen as a starting point for learning and exploration, not the final answer to every question. Research on artificial intelligence and critical thinking continues to grow at leading universities, research centres and institutions across North America and Europe. Researchers at Stanford University, MIT, Harvard University, the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, together with organisations such as UNESCO and McKinsey, are examining how AI is influencing learning, decision making, creativity and human judgment. Although their research explores different questions and approaches, a common theme is emerging: as AI becomes more capable, the ability to think critically, evaluate information carefully and exercise sound judgment becomes increasingly important. Artificial intelligence is best understood as a tool that can expand human capabilities. It can help people discover new ideas, improve learning and solve problems more efficiently. Like books, calculators and the internet before it, AI is another technology that supports human progress. The more important conversation is not whether AI or human intelligence is better. It is how the two can work together to improve learning, innovation and everyday life. The real challenge, therefore, is not using AI. The real challenge is using it thoughtfully and responsibly. AI can provide quick answers and useful suggestions, but like any source of information, its responses should be checked, understood and considered carefully. AI is most useful when it helps people find information, explore ideas and make more informed decisions without replacing human judgment. While technology can support people, responsibility, judgment and accountability always remain with people. Agriculture provides a practical example. Farmers in states such as Punjab, Haryana and Karnataka are increasingly using AI powered tools to monitor weather, detect crop diseases and improve farming decisions. These technologies can provide useful insights and save time. However, farmers still rely on their own experience, local knowledge and understanding of changing conditions before making important decisions. AI can offer guidance, but human judgment remains essential. The same lesson applies everywhere, including Kashmir. Technology works best when it supports people, not when it replaces their ability to think and decide. This applies to many parts of everyday life. AI can help people organise information, generate ideas, improve communication and save time on routine tasks. It can increase efficiency and create new opportunities for learning, work and innovation. However, qualities such as good judgment, common sense, empathy, creativity and understanding remain uniquely human. These qualities are developed through experience, reflection and interaction with others, not through technology alone. In Kashmir, this offers an important opportunity. Success in the years ahead will not be defined simply by the ability to use AI. It will be shaped by the ability to think critically, ask important questions, solve unfamiliar problems and make balanced decisions. These abilities will remain valuable regardless of how technology evolves. They will help people adapt not only to AI but also to the many changes the future may bring. Learning also deserves a fresh perspective. Instead of focusing only on finding quick answers, greater attention can be given to curiosity, discussion, problem solving and lifelong learning. AI can make learning more accessible and adaptable, but it cannot replace the experience of exploring ideas, making mistakes and developing balanced judgment. Real learning is not simply about collecting information. It is about understanding it and applying it wisely. Throughout history, every major technological advance has changed the way people live and work. With each new development, people have learned to combine new tools with essential human qualities. Artificial intelligence is likely to become part of that continuing journey. Technology will continue to evolve, and AI will become faster, more capable and more widely available. However, qualities such as wisdom, responsibility, imagination and critical thinking will continue to distinguish human beings. Kashmir has an opportunity to embrace new technology while making thoughtful and responsible use of AI. A society that encourages learning, thoughtful discussion, responsible use of technology and informed decision making will always be better prepared for the opportunities and responsibilities of an AI-driven world. Artificial intelligence can help us find information. It can organise knowledge. It can suggest solutions. But only people can decide what is fair, what is accurate and what can be trusted. That is why, in an AI-driven world, the human edge will always be the ability to think critically. (The Author writes on critical thinking and technology. Feedback: bakshisuhaib094@gmail.com )
