LG Sinha addresses first convocation of Cluster University of Jammu
Jammu, Nov 14: The Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha addressed the first convocation of Cluster University of Jammu today. He said the graduating students of this maiden convocation are the pioneering torchbearers of the universitys tradition, and congratulated all graduates, gold medallists and their parents. Honble Governor of Tamil Nadu, Shri Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar also graced the occasion. The Lieutenant Governor specially complimented the women students, noting that 130 of the 163 gold medals had been won by daughters. He observed that when given opportunities, daughters do not merely attain positions but redefine the meaning of achievement. He said their gold medals are badges of confidence for generations to come. Daughters across higher-education institutions in Jammu Kashmir are writing new chapters of success in their own names, the Lieutenant Governor said. He highlighted the intellectual heritage of Jammu Kashmir and noted that Maharishi Kalhana, author of the Rajatarangini, Maharishi Abhinavagupta, and the saint-poets Yogini Lalleshwari and Sheikh-ul-Alam, promoted harmony among faiths and the pursuit of truth. He said the graduates were carrying forward a tradition of knowledge more than a thousand years old. The Lieutenant Governor said India is witnessing a historic period of transformation and emerging as one of the worlds largest and fastest-growing major economies with the national resolve of building a developed India by 2047. He highlighted the country's digital public infrastructure, unprecedented growth in the space sector, research and innovation and rising investment in quantum technology, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, green energy and biotechnology. Building a developed India by 2047 is our national resolve. By then, many of you will be at the highest peaks of your careers. Therefore, a developed India is not a slogan for another generation; it will be the essence of your lifes achievements. It will be a symbol of the success of your tenure, and it will be the greatest pursuit and accomplishment of your lives, he said. The Lieutenant Governor said India now has nearly 223,000 startups and 135 unicorns, and that many founders come from small towns, reflecting a genuine democratisation of opportunity and entrepreneurship. Offering a fresh perspective on the demographic dividend, Lieutenant Governor said he preferred to call it a demographic responsibility. Society would benefit when youth connect farmers to markets, womens self-help groups become employment-generating enterprises, and engineers develop affordable medical tools for remote areas, he said. The Lieutenant Governor highlighted the significance of humanities. Technology tells us what we can do, while the humanities teach us what we should do. The nation needs engineers as well as historians, and scientists as well as musicians. If we wish to strengthen the intellectual wealth and capability of society, we need scientists as well as musicians. For this, young generation must be prepared to struggle with unwavering courage. Turn crises into opportunities. This is what great personalities did, and the world remembers them today. I believe that talent has no fixed address, and greatness does not arrive after checking postal addresses of certain individual. Greatness seeks courage and struggle, he said. The Lieutenant Governor also offered three practical suggestions for internships. First, present a well-studied solution to a companys challenge rather than simply seeking an opportunity, strive to be so valuable that the team feels ones absence, and choose internships that teach something new. On artificial intelligence, he said the relationship between AI and humans would be one of partnership, not competition. He noted that AI will change the way we work, but determining the purpose of work will remain a human responsibility. The Lieutenant Governor also observed that AI can provide new answers based on old knowledge, but the courage to discover new questions will remain with human beings. AI will have speed and data, but humans will provide direction, compassion and the courage to ask new questions. AI should be guided by civilisational norms, values and accountability, and that its development should rest on human welfare, not just profit and productivity, he said. On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor also gave five resolutions to the students. First, never stop learning, create opportunities rather than only seek them, uphold honesty and ethics, support those who follow, and express love for the nation through action. Your degree is not the end of your journey; it is a step to begin a new one. I believe that todays skills may become irrelevant ten years from now, but the habit of continuous learning will never become irrelevant. Therefore, make the pursuit of knowledge a permanent part of your nature. Knowledge without character is meaningless. Therefore, do not merely aim to be a topper, become individuals who have the courage to speak the truth, the resolve to do what is right, and who treat every human being with dignity and respect. The future awaits you. Move forward with courage. Give compassion and sensitivity a place in your heart. Take the light of knowledge into your hands and begin a new journey of life. I reiterate that technology will expand in the future, but the responsibility to give that future a new meaning will belong to human intelligence, to all youth, the Lieutenant Governor said. Vice-Chancellor, Cluster University of Jammu, Prof. K. S. Chandrasekar presented the University report on the occasion Chief Minister Shri Omar Abdullah; Minister for School Education, Higher Education and Jal Shakti, Ms. Shamim Firdous; Registrar, Cluster University of Jammu, Ms Ankur Mahajan, HoDs, faculty members, students and their parents attended the convocation ceremony. Member of Parliament, Shri Jugal Kishore Sharma; Member of Legislative Assembly from Jammu West, Shri Arvind Gupta; Heads of various Educational Institutions, prominent citizens and senior officials of Civil and Police administration were also present.

He complimented the women students for winning 130 of the 163 gold medals. When given opportunities, daughters do not merely attain positions but redefine the meaning of achievement.

TNCC chief accuses Centre of bias against Tamil Nadu over Mekedatu dam
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 14 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Congress Committee President, Manickam Tagore, on Saturday accused the BJP-led Union government of discriminating against Tamil Nadu over Karnatakas proposed Mekedatu dam and urged Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay to intensify legal efforts to protect the states Cauvery water rights. In a statement, Tagore alleged that the Centre had approved the dam's Detailed Project Report without Tamil Nadus consent. He described the alleged approval as an action prejudicial to the interests of the state and its farmers. His criticism followed remarks by Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar at a meeting in Mysuru attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to Tagore, CM Shivakumar claimed that the Supreme Court had ruled in Karnatakas favour on Mekedatu and sought the Centres permission to proceed. Tagore questioned that position, pointing out that Tamil Nadu had approached the Supreme Court against the proposed dam. He said Karnatakas push for clearance, while the dispute remained before the court, undermined Tamil Nadus interests. The Congress leader maintained that the project would threaten water flows essential to agriculture in the Cauvery delta. Karnataka proposes a reservoir with a storage capacity of 67.15 thousand million cubic feet (TMC), which Tamil Nadu has consistently opposed, he said. Tagore argued that Tamil Nadus annual entitlement of 177.25 TMC depended on releases from Karnatakas reservoirs as well as rainfall runoff from the intervening catchment. He alleged that Karnataka had repeatedly failed to release water according to the prescribed schedule, forcing Tamil Nadu to pursue remedial measures. He warned that the proposed reservoir could intercept flows from the uncontrolled catchment, which he said contributed around 80 TMC to Tamil Nadu. Such a development would severely affect delta farming and could push the region towards desertification, he claimed. Rejecting Shivakumars assurance that the project would not harm Tamil Nadu, Tagore said the state could not accept any construction that jeopardised its share of Cauvery water. He also contended that proceeding without the consent of the basin states would violate judicial directions governing the river dispute. Calling for stronger intervention, Tagore urged Vijay to build on the state governments existing opposition through appropriate legal action. He said protecting Tamil Nadus water entitlement required sustained vigilance and a firm response to any move to advance the project without addressing the states objections and the interests of delta farmers.

'John Doe' review: Why Arjun Das' rookie cop is more compelling than the film's mystery
Highlights Arjun Das plays Chandru, a rookie police officer investigating the murder of an unidentified boy in Madhumita's crime thriller. The film explores childhood trauma, guilt and complicated family relationships through its central characters. Strong character development keeps the mystery engaging, although predictable twists and some implausible plot developments weaken the screenplay. A murder investigation, a missing child and a rookie police officer desperate to prove himself form the foundation of John Doe . Directed by Madhumita, the crime thriller follows Chandru (Arjun Das), a young cop whose first major case becomes an opportunity to establish his abilities while confronting the emotional baggage of his past. The film has the ingredients of an engaging murder mystery, but its biggest strength lies elsewhere. While the central investigation has its share of twists, it is the complicated relationships, personal trauma and contrasting personalities that make John Doe worth watching. Two investigations with an unexpected connection The story begins with the discovery of an unidentified young boy's body following a car accident. A post-mortem surgeon gives the victim the name John Doe, prompting Chandru to investigate his identity and uncover who was responsible for his death. The case takes an unexpected turn when a family returning from Dubai to settle in Kurinjipadi, Tamil Nadu, experiences a tragedy of its own. Darshana (Srishti Singh), her teenage daughter Lucky (Zaara Vineet Chandhoke) and her eight-year-old son Hriday (Nirav S) are left devastated when the young boy mysteriously disappears. Local police officer A Rao (Sanchana Natarajan) struggles to find answers, while Chandru's investigation gradually becomes connected to the missing child case. The connection between the two investigations is not particularly difficult to anticipate. However, Madhumita attempts to play with audience expectations as the story approaches the interval, offering a few interesting developments along the way. Arjun Das brings depth to a troubled police officer Chandru is not simply motivated by the excitement of handling his first major investigation. He is also dealing with guilt over his own mistakes and a deep-rooted need to prove himself. His insecurities stem from his relationship with his late father (Badava Gopi), who constantly belittled him and questioned his ability to become a police officer. Although Chandru eventually wears the uniform, he continues to struggle with the feeling that he has to prove he deserves it. This unresolved trauma follows him throughout the investigation, sometimes appearing through his father's voice in his head. Arjun Das effectively conveys Chandru's impatience, frustration and vulnerability, although the tone of these internal conversations takes some time to settle. Madhumita uses small details to communicate his emotional state, including his frequent use of a fidget spinner, which reflects his restless personality. The film also gives considerable attention to its antagonist, whose identity is best left undisclosed. While the eventual reveal is not particularly surprising, the character provides an interesting contrast to Chandru. Both characters carry guilt over failing to save someone in time, but their experiences of parenthood and childhood have shaped them in very different ways. These parallels give the story an emotional dimension that goes beyond the central investigation. An engaging film with some frustrating weaknesses Despite its interesting character dynamics, John Doe struggles with aspects of its screenplay. The antagonist's motivations and methods are explained at considerable length, opening up questions about how certain crimes could have been committed without attracting attention. Some developments are particularly difficult to believe, especially when the film expects audiences to accept convenient coincidences as crucial investigative breakthroughs. Chandru also occasionally ignores police procedures, while other characters make questionable decisions seemingly to create dramatic situations or set up the next twist. The pacing could have benefited from tighter editing, particularly in the middle portions of both halves and the extended epilogue. Lucky's characterisation is another weakness, with her rebellious behaviour and goth-inspired appearance leaning heavily on familiar teenage stereotypes. However, the film finds warmth in the relationship between Chandru and Lucky. Their shared experiences of difficult relationships with their deceased fathers create some genuinely touching moments. Chandru's contrasting personality traits also add depth to his character. While he can be dismissive towards his subordinates, his compassionate approach to questioning suspects reflects the influence of his mother. This is particularly noticeable when compared with A Rao's more aggressive approach to policing. The developing chemistry between Chandru and Rao provides some welcome lighter moments in an otherwise dark film. Their interactions, particularly during a sequence involving the rescue of children at a lodge, are among the more enjoyable parts of the story. The film also leaves room for a possible sequel, raising questions about Rao's background and the reasons behind her fiercely independent personality. Ultimately, John Doe is more successful as a character-driven crime thriller than as a tightly constructed murder mystery. Arjun Das delivers a compelling performance, while Madhumita finds emotional depth in the complicated relationships at the heart of the story. The investigation may leave a few too many loose ends, but the characters give the film enough substance to remain engaging. Whether its promised sequel materialises is another mystery altogether.
