Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Ashutosh Sharma does not think theres been any major transition in his playing career, but the right-handed batter firmly believes that visualisation and constant practice will fetch him more success when the pressure is high on him as a finisher for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. There is no such transition. I am enjoying playing cricket and enjoying playing with DC. I am having loads of fun while playing. The only difference is that in the first year, I was new. In the second year, the expectations of the team and everyone increase. So, there is a bit of pressure, but I am enjoying playing under pressure, Ashutosh, who hails from Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh, told IANS in an exclusive conversation ahead of IPL 2026 starting on March 29. After bursting onto the IPL scene with sizzling cameos for Punjab Kings in 2024, Sharma spent the 2025 season building his reputation as a finisher at DC -- scoring 204 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 161. All of that began with an unbeaten 66 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), the side DC will face in Lucknow on April 1, as Ashutosh announced himself as a finisher of genuine quality. That innings, he says, was the product of a problem he identified and then quietly fixed. When I was playing for Punjab in the first year, I couldn't finish a lot of matches. I could finish only in very few games. After that year, I did an analysis and found that I am lacking in certain areas in this department. I then started applying those changes in domestic cricket games, like I have to finish the match and then come back to the dugout. Then, when I came to Delhi, I applied it there too, he said. The statistics bring out the value Ashutosh adds in the closing stages of IPL. He has batted predominantly in the final four overs of IPL innings, striking at 188 in that phase -- hitting a boundary on an average of every four balls and smashing 15 sixes. His numbers in chases are particularly striking: an average of 37.3 and a strike rate of 171, compared to 18.9 and 152 when batting first. DCs ongoing pre-season camps, which include simulated match scenarios, along with turning out for Railways in domestic cricket, have also honed Ashutoshs finishing skills. We play domestic cricket, so we get to learn a lot from it. I have just worked there, and when I was playing there, it was in my mind that I had to stay there till the end. I was applying there also, and this is it. We do the same planning in our pre-season camps - like we practice how to finish games. So, we still play matches in the camp, and that's the practice for me in how I have to finish. I am given that situation there -- like which situation will come in the actual match. So, by doing all that, you apply it in the match, and many times it is very much possible that it will happen that way, he said. The mental side of finishing, he adds, comes down to visualisation, something which many players do consistently. My mental preparation is that I visualise what situation is coming. So, I visualise this situation in front of me, and how do I get out of this situation? So, the key point is visualisation. Aside from the success he gets as a finisher, Ashutosh has issues to sort out against slow left-arm orthodox bowlers, who have dismissed him four times in six innings with a strike rate of just 75 in that matchup. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025/26, Ashutosh scored 117 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 170 thus showing that his attacking instincts remain sharp, despite having three single-digit scores. Among the various influences Ashutosh encountered at DC, Kevin Pietersen - the franchise's mentor in 2025 - left a lasting impression on him. From KP, I just got to learn about hard work. Like I had asked, you have made so many runs in such big matches - so, what did you do? How did you get consistency? So, he just said that you believe in your ability, believe in your hard work. So, I got to learn all these things. Pietersen will not be in the dugout for IPL 2026, but Ashutosh didnt seem much bothered. No, it's a professional game - like today someone is there or in the future, they are not present. So it's normal in cricket. Outside of DC, Ashutosh is constantly guided by former Indian batter and long-time mentor Amay Khurasiya. We do talk. Like, whenever I doubt anything, apart from cricket also, I ask him, 'Sir, what can I do now? What has to be done?' So, yes, we talk to each other. DC finished outside the playoffs in 2025 despite a promising start, and Ashutosh promised the Axar Patel-led side would do everything to dish out dominating performances. The preparation is going well. We are well planned and well prepared, and we are not thinking about last year. It's a fresh start, and we are thinking that we have to dominate and enjoy cricket. All the young players will express themselves in the game. That's what we are thinking. After IPL 2025, Ashutosh took an unusual detour, which showcased his love for playing cricket. A stint at Wigan CC for the 2025 Liverpool and District Cricket Competition began with him hitting a 70-ball century after arriving in England on the morning of the game, following a visa mix-up. I love playing cricket a lot. So, I took a rest, and then I went there. I had an issue related to a flight (to reach Manchester). So, I went there and played the match directly. I enjoyed that moment also. Ashutosh comes on the back of being with India 'A' team for the Rising Asia Cup and T20 World Cup warm-up games, and receiving a call-up for it is still etched in his memory. Since childhood, every player's dream is to wear the India jersey. It was one of the best moments of my life. I got to learn a lot in terms of how the pressure of playing for the country is. The differences between playing for the country and the IPL are that the pressure of representing the country is a little different. So I got to learn all of this there. Life in IPL is very hectic for players - ad shoots, social media commitments, and media appearances - have become a routine part of the calendar. Ashutosh acknowledged that the DC think-tank have managed things well for him. Of course, it is a little tough because practice and shoots are around. But our team management is such that they balance out everything. They know that we don't have to focus on these things for a long time. Life in IPL is very hectic for players - ad shoots, social media commitments, and media appearances - have become a routine part of the calendar. Ashutosh acknowledged that the DC think-tank have managed things well for him. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So, it's just happiness for me. Then, seeing everyone happy after making them win the match and those joyful scenes happening there - that is my happiness, and yes, that's my goal for IPL 2026, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

State of Working India 2026: India's Young Workforce is Growing and Getting More Educated
State of Working India 2026 ’ report. However, challenges remain and the extent to which the large, increasingly educated, and aspirational cohort is absorbed into the labour market will determine whether India’s demographic dividend translates into an economic dividend. L-R: Amit Basole, Rosa Abraham & Tamoghna Halder from Azim Premji University “More young people today are educated, informed, and ambitious than ever before. These are real achievements of which we can be proud,” noted Indu Prasad, President, Azim Premji Universities . The report draws on official databases going back four decades to see how youth participation in education and employment has changed, how well we have been able to use this demographic dividend, and the challenges and opportunities that arise in integrating them into the workforce. Rosa Abraham, lead author of the report and Associate Professor of Economics at Azim Premji University said, “The report traces the journey of a young worker - from education to job search and employment, and how this transition has evolved over the last forty years. We hope the report will lay out some of the foundational work that will contribute to a better understanding of the challenges in this transition and enable coordinated policymaking.” Key Findings Demographic dividend nearing peak: India’s working-age population share will begin declining after 2030. The pace of job creation in the coming decades is critical to ensure that the demographic dividend translates into an economic one. Rising educational attainment: Youth education levels have increased significantly over four decades, especially among women. India’s tertiary enrolment rate (28%) is comparable to countries with similar per capita incomes. Drop in male tertiary enrolment: The share of young men in education fell from 38% in 2017 to 34% in late 2024, with a large share citing the need to support household incomes as reason for their withdrawal. Expansion of higher education institutions: College availability increased from 29 per lakh youth (2010) to 45 (2021), mainly driven by private institutions. However, regional disparities remain large. Teacher shortages: Faculty growth has not matched rising student numbers. Against AICTE norms of 15–20 students per teacher, private colleges average 28 and public colleges 47. Hiring and filling up vacancies remain crucial to ensure that learning outcomes are not compromised due to resource constraints. Rapid expansion of vocational institutes: The number of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) has grown by nearly 300% since the 2010s, largely due to private providers. But, institutional quality, especially among private ITIs, has fallen. Higher education has become increasingly democratised but financial barriers remain: Between 2007 and 2017, the share of students in tertiary education who belong to the poorest households increased from 8 percent to 15 percent. Financial barriers in accessing professional courses: Students from richer households are far more likely to pursue engineering and medicine, as the cost of these degrees often exceeds the annual per capita expenditure of poorer households. Difficult education-to-employment transition: Graduate unemployment among the 15- to 29-year-olds remains high – nearly 40% among the 15- to 25-year-olds, and 20% among the 25- to 29-year-olds; and, only a small share secure stable salaried jobs within a year of graduation. Strong graduate wage premium: Graduates earn roughly twice as much as non-graduates at entry, and the earnings gap widens over their careers. Stagnating male graduate earnings: Entry-level salaries for young male graduates have slowed in growth since 2011, while gender gaps in graduate earnings have narrowed. Shift away from agriculture: Young workers are leaving agriculture faster than older cohorts and moving into manufacturing and services. Young women are increasingly employed in IT, automobile manufacturing, and business services. Declining caste and gender occupational segregation: Younger cohorts are less concentrated in occupations traditionally linked to their caste or gender. Migration as a labour market response: Youth migration helps balance regional disparities - poorer states and those with a younger population remain major labour sources, while richer states with a predominantly older population rely increasingly on migrant youth.

Chandigarh University (CU) in association with the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) organised ‘ CommuniGate 2026 ’, an International Conference on ‘ New Media ecologies transforming communication paradigms in the digital age ’, providing an interdisciplinary platform to scholars, practitioners, policymakers and emerging researchers for insightful discussions on contemporary challenges and opportunities in evolving landscape of digital communication. Chandigarh University Officials along with prominent media industry persons during International Conference on ‘New Media Ecologies ‘CommuniGate 2026’at Chandigarh University The dignitaries who graced the two-day ‘CommuniGate 2026’, organised by CU’s University Institute of Media Studies (UIMS), included Prof (Dr) KG Suresh, veteran journalist and Director India Habitat Centre, Rabindra Narayan, MD and President, GTC Network, Prof (Dr) Raviraj N Seetaraman, Vice-Chancellor, Chandigarh University, Dr Nitin Kumar, Deputy Director (Research) ICSSR, Mimansa Malik, veteran TV anchor , Dr Mihir Ranjan Patra, Chairperson, DCMT, GJUST Hisar, Prof Kulveen Trehan, (GGSIPU)and Pallavi Srivastava, entrepreneur and media professional. About 60 Research Papers were presented during technical sessions of the Conference by research scholars from countries including Nigeria, Bahrain and Venezuela and various states of India including Maharashtra, Kerala, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. Speaking on the theme of CommuniGate 2026, Deepinder Singh Sandhu, Senior Managing Director, Chandigarh University said, “ As communication systems are witnessing a transformation in this digital age, it’s no surprise that today social media platforms, algorithmic systems, Artificial Intelligence, immersive technologies, mobile communication, and participatory cultures are collectively not only reshaping public discourse, cultural expression and governance, but everyday life also. So this International Conference served as a vibrant interdisciplinary platform for academics, researchers, practitioners and students to share insights and engage in critical deliberation on the transformative dynamics of new media ecologies and their implications for democracy, culture, education, migration and social inclusion .” Participating in the Conference, renowned media experts said AI and other emerging technologies are transforming media in the Digital Age, but human touch still remains the key for the real stories of the real people and good journalism. In his address during the valedictory function, Chief Guest Rabindra Narayan, MD and President, GTC Network , said, “ The AI is as good as the person giving it the prompt. As AI helps us do things better and faster, our dependence on others is reducing. But we should keep learning and applying out mind to what AI is doing for us. This way we will also learn. With the advent of AI and free flow of knowledge, if inequalities can go from the society, education can become common for all, the education tools become affordable for all, we can make the world better using those new tools and technologies. We may cure diseases, we may have lesser misery, inequalities, we may have better policies. ” On New Media in digital age, Narayan said, “ Media remains media. Today you are calling AI new media but it's old media already. We don't know where we are going but it's a very very exciting prospect. Wherever we are going, it's a new world and the new world is always exciting. But never give up the basic tools. Real stories are in real places with real people, you must go to real places, real people, find real stories, tell real stories because only real stories survive. Do what you feel right. Never be afraid to fail. Only the failure will teach you the success. And there is no learning without actually going to the ground, burning your boots, talking to real people, learning first hand. ” Earlier in his key note address during the inauguration of the ‘CommuniGate 2026’ , veteran journalist and IHC director Prof (Dr) KG Suresh highlighted the rapid transformation of journalism due to the rise of new media, social platforms and artificial intelligence. He said while traditional roles in journalism are evolving, the spread of misinformation remains a major concern. He emphasised the need for technological competence, ethical practices, and human-interest-driven reporting in modern journalism. Mimansa Malik, veteran TV anchor said, “ The phone in our hand holds more power today than any news channel did 30 years ago. But how are we using that power? . The responsibility that comes with digital media, young journalists should balance representation with ideological awareness ,”. She also highlighted the importance of ethical citizen journalism, engaging storytelling and the responsible use of AI for fact-checking. “ Understanding algorithms, leveraging digital platforms for social change, and maintaining originality are key to content creation in this digital age ,” Malik added. Dr Nitin Kumar, Deputy Director (Research), ICSSR , stressed the importance of ethical practices, responsible usage, and regulation of digital platforms. He said challenges of new media require a collaborative relationship between technology, media, and society, along with proactive participation from policymakers. “ The focus should shift from how technology is transforming communication” to how communication is transforming democracy, ” Dr Kumar added.

A Century-Old Ashram Builds Delhi's Newest AI Lab - And Opens It to Everyone
When a phone can write a job application, explain a textbook in Hindi, help a shopkeeper calculate GST, or tell a farmer today’s crop price in real time, the technology doing all of that is artificial intelligence. Most of the tools that make this possible are free. The only thing most Indians have lacked is someone to show them how. On 15 March 2026, a lab opened in South Delhi with the specific purpose of closing that gap. Inuguration of AI & Robotics Lab at Bharat Sevashram Sangha The Swami Pranavananda AI & Robotics Lab was inaugurated at Bharat Sevashram Sangha, Sriniwaspuri, New Delhi by Smt. Nidhi Khare IAS, Secretary, Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India. Ms. Nisha Damor, IAS, Addl. Collector, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Capt. (Dr.) Indu Boken Kasana, District Education Officer, Gurugram, Haryana, and Swamy Atmajnanananda Ji Maharaj, Secretary Delhi, Bharat Sevashram Sangha, were guests of honour. The lab is a project of the Bharat Tech-Shakti Mission, spearheaded by three volunteers: Basab Dasgupta, Dhirender Saini, and Aditya Sen. All three are working professionals who conceived, planned, and built this lab entirely in their personal time, drawing no salary or benefit from the Mission. For them, this is deliberate, selfless service — a choice to give back to the community precisely because their careers have given them skills that most people around them never had access to. The Mission’s tagline, Srijan Se Shakti, meaning strength through creation, frames their conviction: that hands-on practice with AI tools is what separates a passive consumer of technology from someone who can build with it. The lab’s curriculum is built around exactly the skills that matter most right now. Learners will work with text generation and image creation tools, build voice-controlled applications, run computer vision experiments, and use platforms like Google Teachable Machine to understand how machines learn from data. The advanced track goes further: model training, IoT-enabled smart device control using Raspberry Pi and Arduino, and building real applications through APIs. Crucially, the lab also teaches what it calls “vibe coding” — describing what you want in plain language, and having AI write the code for you. This single skill has the potential to open software creation to people who never studied programming. Responsible use of AI is woven into every track. Learners are taught not just what AI can do, but when not to trust it, how to check its outputs, and what ethical responsibilities come with using tools that can generate text, images, and decisions at scale. The physical infrastructure matches the ambition. Five high-performance desktop workstations, a 65-inch EDLA-certified interactive smart board, Raspberry Pi computers, a complete Arduino sensor kit, an Alexa Echo Dot connected to IoT-enabled smart devices, UPS support, and fibre broadband with WiFi coverage make this a fully networked, production-grade learning environment. The lab admits anyone. No entrance test, no age limit, no prior computer knowledge required. Three tracks serve three audiences: Beginner, for those starting from zero; Intermediate, for those with some computer familiarity who want deeper exposure to data analysis and hardware; and Advanced, for those with a programming background who want to work on model behaviour, IoT, and API-based applications. A Class 5 student and a 55-year-old first-time computer user can both walk in on the same day and find a starting point. Demo classes are scheduled to begin the week of 21 March 2026. For enrolment and further details, contact the lab directly located at Swami Pranavananda Marg, Sriniwaspuri, New Delhi. Remarks from the Inauguration “AI is no longer a tool only for the technologist. It is fast becoming as fundamental as reading and writing. An initiative that teaches a first-generation learner to use these tools is not just building a skill — it is building a future.” - Smt. Nidhi Khare IAS, Secretary, Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India “Swami Pranavananda taught us that true seva is giving people the power to stand on their own feet. Every technology has transformed the world in its time. Today that technology is AI. This lab carries forward the Sangha’s founding purpose in the language of our era.” - Swamy Atmajnanananda Ji Maharaj, Secretary Delhi, Bharat Sevashram Sangha “Artificial intelligence must not become another wall that separates the privileged from the rest. Initiatives like this lab are about tearing that wall down — one learner at a time. When a girl from a modest household walks into this lab and builds something with AI, she is not just learning a skill — she is rewriting what is possible for herself and every woman who follows her.” - Ms. Nisha Damor, IAS, Addl. Collector, Indore, Madhya Pradesh “Students today are growing up in a world where AI will decide who gets a job interview and who does not. A school student who understands how these tools work has a head start that no textbook can give them. Initiatives like this should exist in every district of India.” - Capt. (Dr.) Indu Boken Kasana, District Education Officer, Gurugram, Haryana

Narayana Health City Completes 100+ Robotic Cardiac Surgeries in a Single Month Advanced robotic technology is enabling surgeons to perform complex heart procedures with unprecedented precision and minimally invasive approaches. Narayana Health City has successfully completed over 100 robotic cardiac surgeries in a single month, marking a significant milestone in advanced heart care. The achievement reflects not only exceptional surgical expertise and clinical precision, but also the seamless integration of cutting-edge robotic technology to deliver consistently strong patient outcomes across adult and paediatric cases. At Narayana Health’s Robotic Cardiac Surgery Milestone Event (L to R): Dr. Rahul Rao; Dr. Praveen R Tambrallimath; Dr. Raghu MG; Dr. Thiruthani Kumaran M M; Dr. Kiran K Among the complex procedures performed during the month was the case of a 45-year-old patient who had previously undergone Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), commonly known as heart bypass surgery, and later presented with a tumour in the upper chamber of the heart that can obstruct blood flow if left untreated. In patients who have already undergone bypass surgery, reopening the chest through a conventional redo sternotomy can be particularly risky, as the existing grafts (blood vessels surgically connected to reroute blood around blocked arteries) may be damaged during the procedure. In this case, the patient’s earlier bypass grafts were still functioning well, making a traditional surgical approach potentially dangerous. To reduce this risk, the surgical team adopted a robotic assisted minimally invasive approach. The operation was performed through a small incision on the right side of the chest using robotic instruments and high-definition visualisation, allowing access to the heart without reopening the breastbone. Doctors performing robotic-assisted heart surgery at Narayana Health City, showcasing precision technology and advanced cardiac care in action through minimally invasive surgery Dr. Raghu M G, Senior Consultant – Cardiothoracic Surgery , said, “ The patient was supported on a heart–lung machine through peripheral blood vessels, and the procedure was carried out using a specialised technique that allows the heart to temporarily quiver instead of being completely stopped using conventional clamping methods. Using robotic precision, the team accessed the left atrium and successfully removed the tumour while preserving the surrounding heart structures and valve function. The patient recovered well following the surgery and was discharged in stable condition .” Another notable case involved a 46-year-old patient whose mitral valve had become severely narrowed due to rheumatic heart disease, affecting normal blood flow through the heart. Using a robotic approach, the surgical team replaced the diseased mitral valve with a mechanical mitral valve. The advanced system provided high-definition 3D visualisation and enhanced precision, allowing the team to operate with greater control inside the heart. Dr. Thiruthani Kumaran M M, Senior Consultant – Adult Cardiac Surger y, explained, “ The robotic platform provides exceptional surgical precision, allowing surgeons to operate with greater control while avoiding conventional sternotomy (traditional open-chest surgery through the breastbone). For patients, this approach can translate into less post-operative pain, reduced blood loss, quicker recovery and improved cosmetic outcomes. The procedure was completed successfully, and the patient was discharged in stable condition .” Another remarkable case involved a 69-year-old woman diagnosed with coronary artery disease along with a rare condition called dextrocardia with situs inversus, where the heart and other internal organs are positioned as a mirror image of the normal anatomy. Evaluation confirmed significant blockages in the heart’s blood vessels along with reduced heart function. Despite the anatomical complexity, the cardiac team performed a robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass surgery. The robotic platform provided enhanced visualisation and surgical precision, which was particularly important in this case because the patient’s heart was positioned on the opposite side of the chest. Robotic cardiac surgery is transforming the way we treat coronary artery disease. In a recent case involving a 57-year-old gentleman with complex coronary artery disease, our team successfully performed three bypass grafts using robotic-assisted techniques. With regards to this, Dr. Kiran K, Senior Consultant – Adult Cardiac Surgery , said, “ This advanced approach enables us to treat critical blockages with high precision through very small incisions, avoiding the need for a large chest opening or cutting the breastbone. One of the major advantages of this technique is the minimalistic scar, as the surgery is performed through small keyhole incisions without cutting the bone (sternum). For patients, this translates into less pain, minimal blood loss, faster recovery, and an earlier return to normal life. With advancements in robotic technology and growing surgical expertise, we are now able to offer minimally invasive solutions even for complex coronary artery disease, while replicating the same results as a conventional CABG .” Dr. Gagan Khullar, Consultant – Adult Cardiac Surgery , shared, “ Operating on a patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus presents unique challenges because the heart and surrounding structures are positioned differently from typical anatomy. The robotic platform provides excellent visualisation and precision, allowing us to adapt safely to these anatomical variations. The surgery was completed successfully, and the patient had a smooth recovery and was discharged in stable condition .” These cases reflect the robust infrastructure and technological integration at Narayana Health’s Cardiology Centre of Excellence. Robotic cardiac surgery requires close coordination between surgical, anaesthesia and technology teams. From pre-operative planning to post-operative recovery, every step is carefully streamlined to ensure precision, safety and faster patient recovery, enabling the centre to scale advanced heart care without compromising on quality. The milestone also highlights Narayana Health City’s growing reach beyond regional boundaries. Of the patients who underwent robotic cardiac surgery during the month. 35% were from Karnataka 15% from Tamil Nadu 10% from West Bengal 10% from Bangladesh 8% from Jharkhand 8% from Assam 5% from Andhra Pradesh, followed by states of Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Tripura. This diverse geographical mix underscores the growing confidence patients across India and neighbouring Bangladesh place in the centre’s advanced robotic cardiac capabilities. With continued advancements in robotic cardiac surgery, Narayana Health remains committed to making complex heart procedures less invasive and more accessible, while delivering precise, patient-centric care to individuals and families across India and neighbouring regions.
