Migrant worker injured in Kulgam terror attack succumbs; toll 2
A migrant worker critically wounded in a terror attack in south Kashmir's Kulgam district last evening succumbed at SKIMS Srinagar, taking the death toll to two, officials said today. A senior police official told Greater Kashmir that the militants targeted the labourers at the brick kiln in the Kelam area of the south Kashmir district late on Friday evening. He said the two labourers were injured in the attack, and one of them -- identified as Deepak Ratray-- succumbed to his injuries before he could be taken to a hospital. The other injured person -- Bopinder -- was first taken to GMC Anantnag and later referred to SKIMS Hospital in Soura, officials said, adding that he died during treatment. The attack follows closely on the heels of another incident less than 10 days ago, in which terrorists allegedly shot and killed a police officer in Anantnag town. Before this, two labourers were killed here in the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir in 2024. On February 7, 2024, two non-local workers from Punjab, Amritpal Singh and Rohit Masih, were shot dead by a terrorist in the Shaheed Gunj area of Srinagar. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha strongly condemned the terror attack and spoke to Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat, directing security agencies to intensify anti-terror operations and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice. In a post on X, the Lieutenant Governor said he had directed security forces to step up operations to eliminate the terrorists involved in the attack. He also expressed condolences to the bereaved families and reiterated that the Jammu and Kashmir administration and the entire nation stand firmly with them.

Kashmir's apple economy at risk as fruit-laden trucks face delays
Srinagar, Jul 31:With the harvesting of early apple varieties gaining momentum, Kashmir's horticulture sector has voiced growing concern over repeated disruptions on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway, urging the administration to ensure uninterrupted movement of fruit-laden trucks to markets across the country. Growers and traders said recurring traffic interruptions caused by landslides, flash floods, shooting stones, road maintenance, and restrictions associated with the ongoing Amarnath Yatra have begun affecting the transportation of fresh produce, raising fears of financial losses during the crucial marketing season. Kashmir's apple industry, which supports lakhs of families and contributes close to Rs 12,000 crore annually to J&K's economy, depends almost entirely on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway for transporting fruit to wholesale markets in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and other parts of the country. Stakeholders said any delay on the highway directly affects the quality and market value of the produce, particularly early-season varieties like Gala apples and plums, which have a relatively short shelf life. President of the Kashmir Valley Fruit Growers and Dealers Union, Bashir Ahmad Basheer, said growers were anxious as fruit dispatches had coincided with weather-related disruptions and traffic regulation on the highway. We appeal to the administration to treat fruit-laden trucks as a priority. Perishable produce cannot remain stranded for long, and every delay translates into losses for growers. We also hope the authorities will restore traffic quickly whenever the highway is affected by adverse weather, he said. Basheer said transporters have also been affected by traffic management measures in place during the annual Amarnath Yatra. Acknowledging the importance of the yatra, he appealed to the authorities to devise a mechanism that allows fruit trucks to move without prolonged waiting periods. The harvesting of Gala apples and plums has already begun, and buyers from outside J&K expect timely deliveries. We have started receiving complaints about delayed consignments. This can affect both our reputation and the prices growers receive, he said. According to the union, nearly 100 to 120 trucks loaded with fruit leave Kashmir every day during the present harvesting phase. Growers believe this volume can be managed efficiently if dedicated time slots or priority movement are provided for vehicles carrying perishable goods. Although the administration has advised transporters to use the Mughal Road whenever the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway faces disruption, traders said the alternative route is not suitable for large-scale fruit transportation. Javed Ahmad, a fruit trader from Sopore, said infrastructure limitations make the road an impractical option for most transporters. The Mughal Road is still not equipped to handle the majority of trucks used for transporting apples. Most consignments move in 12-tyre and 16-tyre trucks, whereas the alternative route is better suited for smaller vehicles. Transporters are therefore reluctant to take that route, he said. Traders also pointed out that repeated traffic restrictions during the harvest season create uncertainty in the supply chain. They said while temporary closures for emergency repairs may sometimes be unavoidable, advance planning and better coordination could minimise disruption to the horticulture sector. The issue has also drawn the attention of political leaders, who have urged the administration to strike a balance between facilitating the Amarnath Yatra, undertaking highway maintenance and protecting the interests of the Valley's horticulture industry. Growers have called for the creation of a dedicated corridor or priority passage for fruit-laden trucks until the harvesting season concludes. They also sought better coordination between traffic authorities, highway agencies, and district administrations to provide real-time updates on road conditions so that transporters can plan their journeys accordingly.

Kartarpur Sahib corridor to remain closed due to security concerns: Centre
New Delhi, July 31: In a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh said the agreement between India and Pakistan to facilitate pilgrims' visits to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur was signed on October 24, 2019, to fulfil the long-standing demand of devotees for visa-free access to the revered Sikh shrineThe Central Government on Friday informed Parliament that the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor will remain suspended due to the prevailing security situation following the Pahalgam terror attack, despite receiving representations from Sikh religious organisations seeking the resumption of the pilgrimage route. in Pakistan. The minister noted that the agreement, which was extended for another five years in October 2024, enabled the operationalisation of the corridor during the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. However, he said the services of the Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor were suspended with effect from May 7, 2025, in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. While the Government has received representations from Sikh religious groups and organisations regarding Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor, the extant security scenario compels Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor to remain suspended, the minister stated. The reply came in response to questions regarding the status of the corridor and whether the government had received requests from Sikh organisations to reopen it. The Kartarpur Sahib Corridor connects Dera Baba Nanak in Punjab's Gurdaspur district with Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan's Narowal district, one of Sikhism's holiest shrines where Guru Nanak Dev spent the final years of his life. The corridor was suspended after heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, and the government has maintained that security considerations continue to outweigh calls for its reopening.

Parliament passes anti-paper leak amendment bill with stricter punishment
New Delhi, Jul 30: Parliament on Thursday passed a bill to amend the anti-paper leak law to introduce stricter punishments, with the government expressing its commitment to go the extra mile to safeguard the interests of students, who are the country's future. The Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, was cleared in the Rajya Sabha with a voice vote amid a walkout by several Opposition parties of the India bloc. The Lok Sabha had passed the Bill on Wednesday. According to the Bill, individuals involved in paper leaks or unfair means in exams will get jail terms for a minimum of five years and a maximum of 10 years, and a fine of up to Rs 50 lakh. For organised crimes, the Bill proposes a minimum sentence of seven years and a fine not less than Rs 10 crore. Soon after the Congress-led Opposition staged a walkout before the minister's reply, leader of the house JP Nadda accused them of being irresponsible and having no respect for parliamentary proceedings, parliamentary democracy or decorum. Replying to a seven-hour discussion on the Bill, Union Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Jitendra Singh criticised the Opposition for not properly reading the provisions of the Bill, which have been very diligently worked out. He also attacked the Congress and other opposition parties for staging a walkout just before he started replying to the debate. The issue is so vast and so serious here, that it cannot be left to government alone. The government is already doing its way; it will continue to do so. We call for cooperation from all sections of society...we are open to receive suggestions. We are proceeding with an open mind. We are not only ready to walk the talk, but we are in fact ready to walk an extra mile, Singh said. He accused the Opposition of being irresponsible by walking out and said, It is unfortunate that many of the members who are most vociferous in raising objections have chosen to walk out when their issues were to be responded to. The minister claimed that the Bill is comprehensive and it not only covers the issue of paper leaks but also takes a holistic view of the examination reform process. The Bill does not cover the NTA alone; it also covers other examinations, including those conducted by the UPSC, SSC and banks, Singh said. Referring to members' charge that the Radhakrishnan committee report has not been implemented, the minister said, in fact, 76 per cent of the panel recommendations have already been implemented. He also took on the Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge on his claims that 152 leaks have happened, saying the LoP has not mentioned paper leaks in Punjab and Karnataka, which are not ruled by the NDA. On the suggestion to abolish the NTA, Singh pointed out that more paper leaks have happened through state-level agencies, the state public service commissions, through state service boards and not necessarily through NTA. The minister claimed that 15 years ago, our youth were looking to leave the country. But, today, many of them are looking to come back now. Singh also listed a host of measures taken by the government in not just providing job opportunities to the youth but also creating an atmosphere to promote the culture of entrepreneurship and self-employment opportunities. He also listed out steps taken to increase seats in medical colleges and said the government has made earnest efforts to liberate medical education from management quota. The amendment bill seeks to empower all the state governments and Union Territories administrations to designate any court of session to be a special fast-track court to try offences under the proposed law. It also provides that the proceedings in such courts are continued on a day-to-day basis and the trial is completed within three months from the date of filing of the charge sheet. The Bill also empowers the central government to constitute a special task force for investigation of any offence. The 2024 law was brought in when the government faced raging paper leak controversies. Before this legislation, there was no specific substantive law to deal with unfair means adopted or offences committed by various entities involved in the conduct of public examinations by the central government and its agencies. Earlier, participating in the debate, members of several Opposition parties attacked the government over the police action against the agitating students and no accountability fixed for it, even as ruling party members claimed the BJP regime was sensitive to the issues raised by students.

CU Srinagar, DBU Punjab ink pact to hold regular job fairs in J&K
In a significant development, Cluster University (CU) Srinagar has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Desh Bhagat University (DBU) Punjab to hold regular job fairs, nationwide virtual recruitment drives and industry-oriented skill development programmes. The move comes days after CU Srinagar and DBU Punjab organised a mega job fair at Amar Singh College, Srinagar. The move has come as a major push to strengthen campus placements and expand employment opportunities for youth in Kashmir. Addressing media persons in Srinagar, Vice Chancellor CU Srinagar Prof. Mubin Muhammad said the MoU was signed following the successful conclusion of the universitys mega job fair where around 900 candidates were either selected or shortlisted for employment. He said 5,237 candidates registered for the job fair, which saw participation from 62 companies representing sectors including banking, finance, healthcare, information technology and business services. He said 470-475 candidates secured jobs on the spot while 442 were shortlisted for technical interviews for specialised positions such as junior engineers, mechanical engineers and nursing professionals. He said the latest MoU between the two universities was a major milestone as the agreement would make job fairs a regular feature in Jammu and Kashmir through collaboration between the two universities. He said that under the agreement, students of Cluster University Srinagar will also be able to participate in virtual job fairs organised by Desh Bhagat University across the country, allowing them to attend recruitment drives remotely without travelling outside J&K. The collaboration will ensure our students remain connected with employment opportunities throughout the year. Whenever Desh Bhagat University organises a job fair, our students will be able to register and interact virtually with recruiters, he said. He said that MoU also provides for industry-specific workshops for students and faculty to align academic training with industry requirements and improve the employability of graduates. Prof. Mubin said participating companies would continue mentoring candidates who were not selected during the last recruitment drive by providing guidance for future hiring processes. He said the last job fair was one of the largest open recruitment drives held in J&K and the university deliberately opened participation to all youth from the J&K rather than limiting it to its own students. The drive also attracted registrations from Kashmiri students studying in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and other states, he added. The Vice Chancellor said recruiters appreciated the quality of candidates. The highest package offered during direct recruitment was Rs 4.8 lakh per year. The shortlisted candidates for specialised technical positions were offered packages of up to Rs 12 lakh per annum, including overseas opportunities in the nursing sector, VC CU Srinagar said. He said the university would continue organising similar recruitment drives in the future, with the newly signed MoU providing a long-term framework for expanding employment opportunities for students across Jammu and Kashmir.

Wadia's comments come on the back of global investment bank Houlihan Lokey's 2026 IPL valuation study revealing that the tournaments business value has jumped by 11.4 per cent to USD 20.6 billion post the 2026 season, while its overall brand value rose to USD 4.3 billion - a 10.3 per cent year-on-year increase. According to the report, Punjab Kings, one of the eight original franchises bought in 2008 for roughly USD 76 million, saw its valuation compound to approximately Rs 1,510 crore (USD 158 million) this year, marking a 12.1 per cent growth from 2025. It's been the emotional connection people have with their teams. Families organise their evenings around IPL matches. You can understand that intellectually, but you only truly appreciate it when you're part of it. The other thing that's genuinely surprised me is how far the game has travelled. We saw a team from Italy playing at this year's World Cup, and watching the IPL now stretches into places like South America, countries I never imagined would be following cricket. Year after year, people wait for it. It's slowly turning into something close to a cult, one that crosses every diaspora. The IPL has changed the way sport is viewed in India. It's created careers, inspired investment, encouraged other leagues and built sporting brands that millions of people genuinely care about, Wadia said in a statement issued by the franchise on Wednesday. The report also mentioned several landmark shifts in the league's financial landscape and broadcasting dynamics. Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) created history after being acquired for a league-record USD 1.78 billion, while Rajasthan Royals also fetched a massive USD 1.65 billion valuation. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) created history after being acquired for a league-record USD 1.78 billion, while Rajasthan Royals also fetched a massive USD 1.65 billion valuation. The tournament witnessed a major digital migration in viewership, with Connected TV (CTV) reach surging by 26 per cent even as linear television ratings registered an 18.8 per cent decline. Reflecting on the early days of the tournament, Wadia, co-owner of Punjab Kings alongside Mohit Burman, Preity Zinta, and Karan Paul, recalled that breaking even was a long-term process. We simply believed Indian sport was ready for a new chapter, and we wanted to be part of building it, it took seven years to break even. We always knew this wasn't a short-term play. But I still think the IPL is only getting started. I always believed the IPL would become one of the biggest sporting leagues in the world. I just didn't think it would happen this quickly. Today, when you see institutional investors looking at franchises and global capital entering the space, it validates the conviction we had back in 2008. Season 19 of the IPL reached 1.2 billion viewers, a 7 per cent increase year-on-year, while the 2026 final between Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Ahmedabad recorded 400 million viewers across screens to become the most-watched match in IPL history. Ahead of the next media rights cycle, whose value is currently at USD 6.2 billion, Wadia expressed strong confidence in the league's financial trajectory. I'm optimistic about the next media rights cycle, not because I'm an owner, but because the fundamentals continue to get stronger. Every year the IPL attracts bigger audiences. That shows the appetite people have for live sport. I wouldn't speculate on the final number, but if you're asking whether we've reached the ceiling, my answer is no. The IPL is still evolving, and I believe its best years are still ahead of it, he added. Highlighting the unique investment economics of the league, Wadia pointed to the exclusivity of team ownership. People also underestimate one very important point, scarcity. There are only ten IPL franchises. That isn't changing anytime soon. When you combine a scarce asset with growing demand, the long-term outlook becomes very compelling. That shows the appetite people have for live sport. I wouldn't speculate on the final number, but if you're asking whether we've reached the ceiling, my answer is no. The IPL is still evolving, and I believe its best years are still ahead of it, he added. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Addressing the rise of the WPL, Wadia called its trajectory extremely encouraging and stated, To build an audience of that size in such a short period tells you there's genuine interest in women's cricket, and that's great for the game. If the right opportunity came along, we'd certainly look at it, with the same patience and long-term perspective we've applied to every investment we've made. Article Source: IANS

Banihal, Jul 28: A warm and enthusiastic welcome was accorded to young folk singer Divya Bharti on her arrival in her hometown of Batote after she secured a place among the Top 10 finalists of the popular Punjabi singing reality show 'Surtaj of Punjab', bringing laurels to Jammu and Kashmir. The 23-year-old singer, a resident of Champa village in Ramban district, is the only contestant from Jammu and Kashmir to qualify for the Top 10 of the prestigious competition. Her achievement has earned widespread appreciation for showcasing the region's rich folk music and cultural heritage on a national platform. Hundreds of local residents, social and political activists, police and civil administration officials, as well as music lovers, gathered on Tuesday at the hill station of Batote on the old highway to receive her and congratulate her on her remarkable achievement. Coming from a lower middle-class family, Divya's success is a story of perseverance, hard work and determination. She holds a Master of Arts in Music from Punjabi University, Patiala, and a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the Institute of Music & Fine Arts (IMFA). She is an approved Folk Artist of All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan and has won several prestigious music competitions, including the 'Choona Hai Aasmaan' State-Level Musical Talent Hunt and the Jammu and Kashmir Talent Hunt.

Speaking on the occasion, Divya said her passion for singing began in childhood. She credited her parents, her brother Gopal, and social activist Rashid Malik of Batote for their unwavering support throughout her musical journey. My parents allowed me to choose music as my career, while my brother Gopal sacrificed his job to support my education and accompany me during performances and competitions. My school, local satsangs and Batote itself were my first platforms, where I learned and gained confidence, she said. Divya's parents, sisters, relatives and friends expressed immense happiness over her achievement, describing it as a proud moment for the family and the entire Ramban district.

Govt jobs alone not solution: CM Omar
Srinagar, Jul 28: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday reaffirmed his governments commitment to expanding employment opportunities for the youth, saying that while government jobs alone are not the solution to unemployment, it is the governments responsibility to create more avenues for youth through private sector recruitment, entrepreneurship and industry partnerships. The Chief Minister made these remarks while addressing the valedictory session of the 77th State-Level Mega Job Fair at Amar Singh College, Srinagar. The event was organised by Desh Bhagat University, Punjab, and Cluster University of Srinagar in collaboration with NIELIT, Nations Development Association (NDA) and MY Bharat. Minister for Education Sakina Itoo, Commissioner Secretary School Education Ram Niwas Sharma, Vice Chancellor Cluster University of Srinagar, Vice Chancellors of several universities from Jammu and Kashmir, President Desh Bhagat University Punjab Dr. Sandeep Singh, Principal Amar Singh College, principals and deans of various colleges, members of the teaching fraternity and students were present on the occasion. Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said that institutions of higher learning have a responsibility that extends beyond awarding degrees. He observed that universities and colleges must actively support students in transitioning from education to employment through continuous engagement and career facilitation. He noted that for decades, educational institutions in Jammu and Kashmir had largely considered their responsibility fulfilled once students graduated. Appreciating the initiative taken by Cluster University Srinagar and Desh Bhagat University in organising the mega job fair, he described it as a significant step towards bridging the gap between education and employment. The Chief Minister highlighted the encouraging outcome of the job fair, stating that of the nearly 5,300 registered candidates, around 470 youth secured job offers, while another 430 candidates reached the final stages of recruitment, requiring only the completion of interview formalities. He said that nearly 900 young men and women had either secured employment or were on the verge of being employed, describing it as an impressive success rate for an initiative that is still in its early stages. He expressed confidence that with more such employment drives, the number of placements would continue to rise. Calling the event a landmark initiative for Cluster University Srinagar, he said it demonstrated the immense potential of structured campus recruitment in Jammu and Kashmir. The Chief Minister stressed the need to institutionalise campus recruitment across all universities and colleges in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that universities, including the University of Kashmir, Islamic University of Science and Technology, University of Jammu, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology and other higher educational institutions, should organise recruitment drives regularly so that students get employment opportunities before completing their studies. Stating that merely asserting government jobs are not the solution to unemployment is not enough, Omar Abdullah said the government cannot abdicate its responsibility after making such a statement. If we cannot provide government employment to every young person, then it becomes our duty to open more doors of opportunity. We cannot simply tell our youth to look elsewhere; we must create opportunities for them through private sector engagement, skill development and industry partnerships, he said. Emphasising the immense talent among the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, the Chief Minister said that what they require is greater exposure and wider opportunities. The Chief Minister also underscored the importance of promoting entrepreneurship alongside employment. Referring to the governments recent initiatives to strengthen the startup ecosystem, he said efforts were underway to connect young entrepreneurs with venture capital fund and handholding of startups so that those wishing to establish their own enterprises receive the necessary institutional support. He reiterated that the government would continue making every possible effort to ensure that the youth of Jammu and Kashmir receive opportunities comparable to those available elsewhere in the country and abroad. Congratulating the candidates who secured placements during the recruitment drive, the Chief Minister wished them success in their professional careers. He also extended his best wishes to those who had reached the final stage of the recruitment process, expressing hope that they too would soon secure employment. Earlier, the Chief Minister handed over offer letters to students who were selected during the campus recruitment process. Congratulating the newly recruited candidates, he expressed confidence that they would excel in their respective careers and serve as an inspiration for other aspiring youth. On the occasion, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was also signed between Cluster University of Srinagar and Desh Bhagat University, Punjab in presence of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, aimed at strengthening academic collaboration, skill development initiatives and enhancing employment opportunities for students. The mega job fair brought together more than 50 reputed employers from various parts of the country, including companies with operations in the Gulf and Middle East. The event offered direct employment opportunities to graduates, postgraduates, diploma holders and skilled youth through on-the-spot interviews, screening and recruitment, while also providing career guidance and valuable industry exposure.
Embrace innovation, lifelong learning: LG Sinha to youth
Srinagar, Jul 28: You are not merely job-seekers. You are the makers of India's future. In your hands rests your career as well as the direction of the nation's development. You are the strength of Skill India, the face of Digital India, and the true bearers of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Tuesday. He was addressing the aspiring youth and representatives from leading industries at the 77th State-Level Mega Job Fair, held at Amar Singh College, Srinagar. The LG described the job fair as a powerful means of connecting the aspirations of youth with opportunities and an important step toward building the nation's bright future. Organised by Desh Bhagat University, Punjab, and Cluster University, Srinagar, in collaboration with NIELIT, Nations Development Association (NDA), and MY Bharat, the Mega Job Fair brought together more than 50 reputed companies across diverse sectors including information technology, healthcare, banking, financial services, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, education, logistics, and engineering. The Lieutenant Governor outlined six key objectives: ensure meaningful employment for youth to become self-reliant and contribute to society; pave the way for industry-academia partnerships to bridge the gap between degrees and workplace skills; ensure skill development programmes are aligned with digital literacy and technical capabilities; create a roadmap for simplified recruitment through on-the-spot interviews and direct hiring; promote entrepreneurship to encourage job creators alongside job seekers, and prepare a future-ready workforce to strengthen India's development journey. Sinha urged students to embrace three guiding principles: never make dreams small, never stop learning, and always embrace innovation. Dream big and focus on new discoveries. The future belongs to those who seek new solutions, develop new thinking, and lead change. Success is meaningful only when achieved with ethics and responsibility, he said. The LG stressed that colleges and universities must evolve into institutions that prepare students for life beyond examinations. He called upon industry representatives to act as recruiters, mentors, and partners in shaping the future workforce. If industry and education work together, we can create an environment where knowledge and experience strengthen each other, and innovation and employment advance together, he said. The Lieutenant Governor underscored the growing interest of youth in entrepreneurship, citing that since 2020, lakhs of youth became entrepreneurs. He recalled that the Union Territory led the country in PMEGP in 202122 and expressed confidence that the UT will carve a new identity in innovation, startups, and modern industries. He said that unemployment cannot be solved through government jobs alone, outlining three priorities: aligning skills with industry needs, promoting private sector job creation through MSMEs and SMEs, and bridging the transition from college to workplace through internships, mentorships, and career guidance. Let us resolve that this 77th Mega Job Fair will mark the beginning of a new chapter in the employment history of Jammu Kashmir, the Lieutenant Governor said. The event was attended by Commissioner Secretary Higher Education Ram Niwas Sharma, Cluster University of Srinagar Vice Chancellor Prof Mohammad Mobin, Cluster University of Jammu Vice Chancellor Prof K.S. Chandrasekar, IUST Vice Chancellor Prof Shakil Ahmad Romshoo, Desh Bhagat University President Dr Sandeep Singh, Amar Singh College Principal Prof Tehmina Yousuf, senior officials, representatives of leading industries, heads of educational institutes, and a large number of youth.
