[00:08:48] in the assembly, students who have declared a decisive battle have put forward

[00:08:53] including cancellation of disputed
[00:09:00] examinations before talks with the government. RSS Chief Dr. Mohan Bhagwat
[00:09:03] interacted with youth in Mumbai,
[00:09:07] saying that the Jency movement is not against the country,
[00:09:11] protest is a means
[00:09:18] of dialogue. And India showed its strength to the world,
[00:09:22] successful test of the medium-range ballistic missile Agni-4
[00:09:25] at Chandipur in Odisha,
[00:09:26] capable of hitting multiple targets.
[00:09:34] On the eve of National Handloom Day, Prime
[00:09:37] Minister Narendra Modi appealed to the countrymen
[00:09:41] to adopt Indian handlooms and support the weavers. In his video
[00:09:44] message released on Instagram, the Prime Minister
[00:09:48] said that August 7 is associated with the historical
[00:09:52] legacy of the Swadeshi movement. He reminded that
[00:09:56] on this day, the Swadeshi movement gave a new direction to the country's
[00:09:59] freedom struggle and millions of people resolved to boycott
[00:10:03] foreign goods and adopt indigenous products. The Prime
[00:10:07] Minister said that National Handloom Day is not just a celebration
[00:10:10] but an opportunity to honor the hard work and talent
[00:10:14] of millions of weavers of the country. He appealed
[00:10:18] to the people to buy products made of handloom, bring
[00:10:22] their diversity and quality before the world and on social
[00:10:55] media. We must
[00:10:59] not forget. On August 7, 1905, the Swadeshi movement was started
[00:11:02] for the country's independence, and the foundation
[00:11:06] of self-reliant India
[00:11:10] was laid.
[00:11:12] The countrymen fought a very big battle against the British,
[00:11:15] people joined hands.
[00:11:19] Last week all of you celebrated
[00:11:23] Friendship Day. Today I urge
[00:11:26] you, August 7 is Handloom Day.
[00:11:30] We have to celebrate
[00:11:33] with the same enthusiasm and joy,
[00:11:36] and celebrating Handloom Day means that
[00:11:40] every poor family,
[00:11:44] every weaver family who makes clothes
[00:11:47] on their small
[00:11:48] looms at home,
[00:11:51] and there are new varieties, just look,
[00:11:57] there's everything. And you too, in this way,
[00:12:01] of handloom,
[00:12:04] you can certainly present your
[00:12:08] case to the world by making a GRWM video,
[00:12:11] and you can inspire people
[00:12:14] for it.
[00:12:17] Our work is to make our small,
[00:12:20] poor families
[00:12:24] economically prosperous to make
[00:12:28] India self-reliant. Let us buy something
[00:12:31] from handloom ourselves,
[00:12:35] make a video of it and promote
[00:12:39] that video in the country
[00:12:42] and the world so that the world also knows
[00:12:45] the potential of our weaver brothers
[00:12:48] and sisters. Happy Handloom
[00:12:51] Day on August 7. In a move to further
[00:12:55] strengthen the strategic partnership between India and Israel,
[00:12:58] Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
[00:13:02] Netanyahu held a telephonic conversation today. Both leaders
[00:13:06] reviewed the progress made so far under the India-Israel
[00:13:09] special strategic partnership and reiterated their commitment
[00:13:13] to further expand bilateral cooperation in various
[00:13:17] fields. During the talks, both leaders also exchanged
[00:13:21] views on recent developments in West Asia. They agreed
[00:13:24] to maintain mutual contact while discussing regional
[00:13:27] situations. According to the Prime Minister, India and Israel reiterated
[00:13:31] their resolve to further advance cooperation
[00:13:33] in various
[00:13:38] areas of mutual interest and give new strength
[00:13:42] to the relations between the two countries. The Union Cabinet has taken
[00:13:47] the country's infrastructure and energy sector. On one hand,
[00:13:50] the Gobardhan scheme worth ₹23731 crore has been
[00:13:53] approved to promote biogas production in India,
[00:13:57] and on the other hand, the Union Cabinet has also approved
[00:14:00] the development of a four-lane Guwahati-Tezpur corridor
[00:14:03] in Assam, boosting
[00:14:06] connectivity and infrastructure. To promote biogas production
[00:14:10] in the country, the Modi government has approved the Gobardhan scheme
[00:14:13] worth ₹23731 crore. Under this scheme,
[00:14:17] there will be six important pillars, from setting up new biogas plants
[00:14:21] to guarantee of purchase. The government will provide credit guarantee for 10 years
[00:14:55] for the infrastructure of the plant, meaning from where
[00:14:58] the biogas plant is set up to the consumers,
[00:15:02] the pipeline network required to support
[00:15:05] it has also been kept as the fourth pillar in this scheme.
[00:15:09] In another important decision,
[00:15:12] in the Northeast, the 135.87
[00:15:15] kilometer long Guwahati-Tezpur corridor
[00:15:19] on NH15 in Assam has been approved.
[00:15:22] For this, a total of ₹8970 crore
[00:15:37] has been allocated. I mean, it is located on the North Bank
[00:15:41] of Brahmaputra, this is its project
[00:15:43] and this will further connect
[00:15:47] many parts of Arunachal, Nagaland and all these,
[00:15:51] it becomes a very important
[00:15:53] highway for connectivity. This four-lane highway is 135 kilometers
[00:15:56] long and about
[00:15:59] ₹8970 crore will be invested
[00:16:02] in it. In the third term of the Modi government, the pace
[00:16:06] of infrastructure development projects has further accelerated,
[00:16:10] due to which not only has the pace of development increased, but employment
[00:16:13] opportunities have also increased significantly. New benchmarks
[00:16:17] have been set in the past years on all parameters
[00:16:19] of development. Report by Shailendra
[00:16:22] Mishra for DD News. In Jharkhand, the student movement
[00:16:25] regarding irregularities in competitive examinations is gaining
[00:16:28] momentum. The anger of the students who have been agitating
[00:16:32] for 13 consecutive days has now become a big challenge
[00:16:36] for the government. On one hand, the opposition is cornering
[00:16:40] the government inside the assembly, and on the other hand,
[00:16:44] outside, the students have declared a decisive battle.
[00:16:47] The question arises that why
[00:16:48] do parties who were vocal
[00:16:53] about paper leaks and recruitment scams when in opposition
[00:16:57] become silent after coming to power?
[00:17:01] 13th day and the anger of the students is at its peak.
[00:17:04] The roads of Ranchi are testifying that the patience
[00:17:08] of the youth has broken. The agitation against alleged
[00:17:11] irregularities in JPSC and JSSC examinations
[00:17:14] is continuously intensifying. Meanwhile, on August
[00:17:18] 7, a march to the assembly
[00:17:22] and gherao of the assembly on August 10
[00:17:25] have been announced under the banner of AISA
[00:17:29] (All India Students Association). The students' demand is
[00:17:32] that mere assurances will not work now, but an impartial
[00:17:36] inquiry and action against the culprits should be taken. If the demand is not met,
[00:17:40] then we will gherao the assembly on the 10th
[00:17:44] and this will be in millions. JPSC cancelled,
[00:17:46] SSC cancelled. All the exams
[00:17:49] taken by TDPL company in this current government
[00:17:53] should be cancelled, after that CBI inquiry, ED inquiry,
[00:17:56] after that JPSC, SSC, CGL
[00:18:00] and reform will have to be done. The echo
[00:18:03] of the students sitting on the road has now reached
[00:18:08] inside the assembly. On the first day of the budget session, opposition
[00:18:22] MLAs created an uproar over alleged
[00:18:25] irregularities in JPSC
[00:18:26] and JSSC examinations.
[00:18:29] BJP, AJSU and LJP MLAs
[00:18:32] in the assembly accused the Chief Minister of playing
[00:18:36] with the future of the youth and said that the government
[00:18:40] is avoiding giving an answer.
[00:18:43] If you appoint corrupt officers as chairmen,
[00:18:46] members, secretaries in JSSC and JPSC,
[00:18:50] how can the government be trusted? How can it be believed? That's
[00:18:54] why we said that there should be an inquiry under the supervision
[00:18:57] of the court and the result of the inquiry
[00:19:01] should also come within the time limit. Amidst
[00:19:05] this entire incident, questions are also being raised
[00:19:09] on the attitude of political parties. When the issue of paper
[00:19:13] leak and recruitment scam is raised
[00:19:16] at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, then parties like Congress,
[00:19:20] RJD and Samajwadi Party appear at the forefront
[00:19:23] in support of the students. But their activism
[00:19:27] on the student movement in Jharkhand is under question.
[00:19:30] The opposition alleges that as soon as they come to power,
[00:19:33] instead of sensitivity on student issues, they resort
[00:19:37] to explanations and inquiry committees. JMM is still
[00:19:41] struggling to differentiate between the Jharkhand
[00:19:45] and Delhi movements. The Delhi movement
[00:19:48] and the Jharkhand movement are completely
[00:19:51] different. In Delhi, students continued
[00:19:55] to agitate for 25-30 days, but no one listened
[00:19:58] to them. When there was pressure from the opposition,
[00:20:01] Parliament was gheraoed and all this happened,
[00:20:05] then they were ready for talks with them and whatever action
[00:20:08] was taken, here from day one, work is being done
[00:20:12] in the interest of students. For 13-14
[00:20:16] days, the Jharkhand government remained
[00:20:19] silent and Rahul Gandhi remained completely
[00:20:23] separate from this. You went to Jantar Mantar, but you
[00:20:27] have no regard for the thousands
[00:20:29] of students of Jharkhand who have been sitting for the last
[00:20:33] 13-14 days. What is the reason
[00:20:36] that you talk about the welfare of students
[00:20:40] and decide to agitate? Now Rahul ji, Congress
[00:20:44] Party, your government is there, so where is your
[00:20:47] morality? Why are you not taking action there? Why
[00:21:20] are you not demanding the Chief Minister's
[00:21:23] resignation? Why are you not withdrawing
[00:21:27] your support? Don't have a double standard, Rahul
[00:21:30] Baba, you have to have one
[00:21:34] standard, Leader of the Opposition, this student movement
[00:21:37] in Jharkhand politics is no longer just
[00:21:41] an issue of recruitment examinations.
[00:21:44] Rather, it has become a test of the government's
[00:21:48] credibility and accountability.
[00:21:51] If the government does not restore
[00:21:54] confidence soon, then this movement
[00:21:58] will become a big challenge for it on both political
[00:22:01] and administrative fronts.
[00:22:05] I walked alone to the destination, but people
[00:22:08] kept joining and the caravan
[00:22:10] kept growing. This is the story of
[00:22:14] eight student leaders and students who are on an indefinite
[00:22:18] fast at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium in Ranchi.
[00:22:22] The movement and struggle have reached new heights
[00:22:25] because of these eight students. Student leader
[00:22:29] Devendranath Mahto first decided to go
[00:22:35] Satyagraha here. Now he also looks weak,
[00:22:39] but his spirits are strong in the interest of students.
[00:22:42] Why has the government become so heartless
[00:22:46] when it is the local government
[00:22:50] of the state and the students
[00:22:54] of their state have a public demand?
[00:22:57] So we will continue this movement
[00:23:01] with a hunger strike and have called for a
[00:23:06] on August 10. The matter of irregularities
[00:23:10] in competitive examinations in Jharkhand is resonating
[00:23:14] across the country. The methods of the student
[00:23:17] movement are also very democratic.
[00:23:50] The agitation continues with decency here.
[00:23:53] Mahendra Prasad, Prem Nayak and some Mahto
[00:23:57] are also conveying their voice to the government
[00:24:00] by giving up food. We cannot clear
[00:24:05] in Jharkhand. The reason is that all jobs
[00:24:08] are sold for 20, 25, 30 lakh, 50 lakh rupees.
[00:24:12] This is a living example. We want
[00:24:15] to tell the government, Shri Hemant Soren ji,
[00:24:19] that if you do not listen to us,
[00:24:23] then we demand your resignation and gradually
[00:24:26] we will keep taking our movement forward.
[00:24:30] In all the exams, our vacancies are being
[00:24:33] sold directly, being given to middlemen
[00:24:37] and blacklisted companies are being sent
[00:24:41] to Jharkhand and exams are being conducted
[00:24:44] by them. The daughters of Jharkhand are also not
[00:24:47] behind in this fight for justice. Since
[00:24:51] the first day, girls have been actively participating
[00:24:54] in this movement. With each passing
[00:24:58] day, the caravan is growing. Now Habiba
[00:25:01] and Savita Kumari have also gone
[00:25:05] a step further and started a hunger strike.
[00:25:09] Until the government listens to us, because
[00:25:12] our rights have been violated. If our rights
[00:25:16] are not protected. Along with the demand, they are demanding
[00:25:20] a CBI inquiry into all the examinations
[00:25:23] conducted in the last five-six years. Now, in this student
[00:25:27] movement, their hunger strike is also continuously
[00:25:31] increasing, and now eight students have joined
[00:25:34] this hunger strike.
[00:25:42] With my colleagues Vikas and Saurav, I
[00:25:45] am Diwakar Kumar, Doordarshan News,
[00:25:49] Ranchi. In Thiruvananthapuram,
[00:25:53] the capital of Kerala, hundreds of Bharatiya Janata
[00:25:56] Yuva Morcha workers staged a massive protest.
[00:26:00] This protest by the BJP's youth wing was
[00:26:03] in support of the Public Service Commission rank
[00:26:07] holders who were on a hunger strike against the government.
[00:26:11] A large number of workers
[00:26:15] towards the Secretariat,
[00:26:18] them by putting up barricades.
[00:26:22] When the protesters tried
[00:26:24] to cross the barricades,
[00:26:27] the situation became tense. To disperse the crowd,
[00:26:30] the police first used water cannons and then also
[00:26:34] resorted to lathi
[00:26:36] charge. During the protest, there were also reports of several
[00:26:40] workers and candidates being detained. In fact,
[00:26:44] the candidates included in the rank
[00:26:48] list of Lower Primary School teachers
[00:26:51] and Kerala Public Service Commission
[00:26:53] have been on a hunger strike in front of the Secretariat
[00:26:57] for several days. The protesting candidates
[00:27:01] allege that the government
[00:27:32] is not giving them joining despite passing
[00:27:36] the examination and getting their names in the rank list.
[00:27:39] It is also alleged that the government has started
[00:27:43] giving back-door joining by sidelining eligible
[00:27:47] candidates. Now the protesters allege that the government
[00:27:50] is playing with the future of the youth. They accused
[00:27:54] both the CPM and Congress of reacting to the issues
[00:27:58] with a double
[00:28:01] standard and adopting
[00:28:32] a double standard and denying the youth their rights.
[00:28:36] However, the Kerala PSC has released the schedule
[00:28:39] for interviews and other recruitment processes for the month
[00:28:43] of August, but the dissatisfaction of the protesting
[00:28:47] candidates on the streets is not stopping.
[00:28:49] From social media to the streets,
[00:28:53] the youth have only one question:
[00:28:56] When will they get the appointment letter
[00:29:00] when their names are on the merit list?
[00:29:03] Union Home Minister Amit Shah met a 16-member delegation of the Christian
[00:29:07] community in New Delhi. The delegation, led by the Joint
[00:29:10] Minority Action Forum, apprised the Home Minister
[00:29:13] of issues related to the Foreign Contribution
[00:29:16] Regulation Act (FCRA) and concerns of the Christian
[00:29:20] community. The meeting discussed in detail
[00:29:23] matters related to FCRA. The delegation included MP and Chairman
[00:29:27] of the Joint Minority
[00:29:31] Action Forum, P. Wilson, Convenor of the Forum,
[00:29:34] John Samuel, and senior religious leaders
[00:29:37] and representatives of several churches
[00:29:41] and Christian organizations.
[00:29:44] Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma met Union
[00:29:48] Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi
[00:29:52] and shared his concerns over the proposed FCRA
[00:29:55] Amendment Bill, 2026. The Chief Minister demanded
[00:29:59] reconsideration of some provisions of the Bill,
[00:30:32] saying that they could affect the activities of foreign-aided
[00:30:36] social and religious organizations in the state. He urged
[00:30:39] to consider the amendments keeping in mind the special
[00:30:43] circumstances of Mizoram. Home Minister Amit Shah
[00:30:46] heard the Chief Minister and assured him of due
[00:30:50] consideration of the matter. The premiere of Operation
[00:30:54] Safed Sagar was held today at Bharat Mandapam
[00:30:57] in New Delhi. On this occasion,
[00:31:01] the cast, producers, directors and several
[00:31:05] distinguished guests of the series were present. During
[00:31:08] the program,
[00:31:11] a special video message from Defense Minister
[00:31:15] Rajnath Singh was also released, in which he paid tribute
[00:31:18] to the bravery and sacrifice of the Indian Air Force
[00:31:22] and called such presentations an important medium
[00:31:25] to take the country's military history to the new
[00:31:28] generation. This series is an attempt
[00:31:32] to bring the story of the historical
[00:31:37] Air Force during the 1999 Kargil War,
[00:31:40] to the audience. The Indian
[00:31:44] Air Force changed the course and direction
[00:31:48] of that war with Operation Safed Sagar. You all
[00:31:51] have made an effort to preserve this
[00:31:55] web series and take it to the next generation. Bringing the
[00:31:58] intensity of Kargil to a global platform
[00:32:02] like Netflix is a big deal
[00:32:05] in itself. Portraying it on the silver
[00:32:09] screen with full authenticity and sensitivity
[00:32:13] is a big challenge
[00:32:15] in itself. Finance Minister Nirmala
[00:32:18] Sitharaman has hit back at the Congress's allegations
[00:32:22] of MDR charges on UPI. Senior Congress leader
[00:32:26] and MP Jairam Ramesh had shared a post
[00:32:29] on social media This system will support banks
[00:32:33] and fintech companies to invest more in infrastructure, innovation, and security,
[00:32:37] which will directly benefit all UPI users in the end.
[00:32:40] The Finance Minister said that the UPI and Services
[00:32:44] Steering Committee led by NPCI has not yet
[00:32:47] taken any decision regarding MDR. This process will move forward only
[00:32:51] after the passage of the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment)
[00:32:54] Bill 2026 by Parliament, which proposes amendments to
[00:32:58] Section 10A of the Payment and Settlement Systems Act.
[00:33:02] The Finance Minister, taking a dig at the Congress party, said
[00:33:05] that if the Congress party had constructively participated in the
[00:33:09] proceedings of Parliament, then when this bill was presented
[00:33:12] in the House, then all these
[00:34:15] person can obtain high quality, affordable and
[00:34:18] comprehensive health care. every young
[00:34:21] person is equipped with skills and meaningful
[00:34:23] employment, women participate fully in the economic
[00:34:27] activity and our farmers make India the food
[00:34:31] basket for the world, and we
[00:34:34] shall be the leaders in tech driven knowledge
[00:34:37] economy. 2047 is no
[00:34:40] longer a distant aspiration, it's an immediate national
[00:35:16] We have to get over our colonial mindset. India must reject
[00:35:20] the psychology of victimhood. Our
[00:35:22] financial institutions, governance structures and public
[00:35:25] resources must widen the circle of opportunity.
[00:35:29] Our banks are all for all Indians, not just for select
[00:35:33] few. Banking must continue to be instrument for
[00:35:36] inclusion, ensuring that the aspiration finds support
[00:35:40] rather than barriers.
[00:35:42] Mudra yojana has actually made us entrepreneur of
[00:35:46] every citizen who wants to benefit from the yojana and
[00:35:50] that is going to be the most important thing that we
[00:35:53] should recognize the entrepreneurial talent and
[00:35:56] skill each one of our citizens. quality education, as I
[00:36:00] said, quality health care, as I said, are entirely
[00:36:04] non-negotiable as national
[00:36:07] priorities.
[00:36:10] Union Minister Giriraj Singh inaugurated the 10th India International
[00:36:13] Food Fair 2016 at Bharat Mandapam. This B2B
[00:36:17] fair, organized by the India Trade Promotion Organization in collaboration
[00:36:21] with the Confederation of Indian Food Industries, will last
[00:36:24] for three days. This event is considered a comprehensive
[00:36:27] platform for showcasing innovation, strengthening business partnerships, and
[00:36:31] for the global food fair. On this occasion, Union Minister
[00:36:34] for Textiles Giriraj Singh said that we are fully confident
[00:36:38] that this event will play an important role in
[00:36:42] realizing the resolve of Developed India 2047 and Self-reliant India by providing new momentum
[00:36:46] to the Indian footwear industry.
[00:36:50] I think that just like in textiles, we
[00:36:53] used to use 25 meters of cloth in
[00:36:57] 2014, today we are using 45 meters
[00:37:01] of cloth. Similarly, the use of shoes is also
[00:37:04] increasing. In the coming
[00:37:07] days, I am fully confident that next
[00:37:11] time this trade fair
[00:37:13] will be held, people from 12 countries
[00:37:17] have come today, people from 112 countries
[00:37:20] will come, and this will be
[00:37:23] a very big footwear fair in the world.
[00:37:30] Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi said that the
[00:37:33] PM Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme is changing India's energy landscape.
[00:37:37] In October 2025, where 5000 solar
[00:37:40] installations used to happen daily, this
[00:37:43] number increased to 16,000 per day in July
[00:37:47] 2026. Addressing the seventh CII International Energy
[00:37:51] Conference held in New Delhi, the Union Minister said that
[00:37:55] this scheme has not only
[00:37:58] household but has also strengthened the domestic solar
[00:38:01] manufacturing ecosystem in the country. The central government's PM Suryaghar
[00:38:05] Free Electricity Scheme has now reached 50 lakh households.
[00:38:09] The pace of rooftop solar installation has also tripled
[00:38:13] to more than 16,000 per day. Along with this, India
[00:38:16] is moving forward with the target of 500 gigawatts of
[00:38:20] non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Union Minister for Steel
[00:38:23] and Heavy Industries HD Kumar Swami said that under Self-reliant
[00:38:27] India, we are building a strong domestic supply chain for clean
[00:38:31] energy technologies. For this, the government has taken several
[00:38:38] corridors, PLI for solar PV modules, and BCD
[00:38:41] exemption for battery storage. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Chief
[00:38:44] Minister Dr. Mohan said that Madhya Pradesh is rapidly advancing
[00:38:48] in renewable energy. Delhi Metro is getting electricity
[00:38:51] from Madhya Pradesh, which is a great example of
[00:38:54] sustainable development and cost savings.
[00:38:58] Many states in the country are doing it, and Madhya
[00:39:02] Pradesh is leading in this, I have
[00:39:04] no doubt about it. We have created this
[00:39:08] demand by reducing the GST
[00:39:11] and GST rate in ride devices and other
[00:39:15] manufacturing components from 12% to
[00:39:18] 5% for an ordinary family, this makes
[00:39:21] a typical three kilowatt roofs of solar system which comes under the
[00:39:25] PM Suryagar.
[00:39:27] around 90 to
[00:39:30] 1000, 10,500 rupees
[00:39:34] cheaper, that is lesser
[00:39:35] cost.
[00:39:39] Today, India stands as the world's fourth largest
[00:39:42] economy with a GDP of nearly
[00:39:46] 4.18 trillion US dollars
[00:39:49] and is firmly on course to become the
[00:39:53] third largest economy in the coming years. This
[00:39:56] remarkable.
[00:40:28] A strong part of this is visible from our side,
[00:40:32] for which all types of doors within our own
[00:40:35] state, those who join us and those who benefit
[00:40:39] from us.
[00:40:42] India has once again strengthened its nuclear-capable ballistic
[00:40:46] missile capability by successfully testing the medium-range ballistic
[00:40:49] missile Agni-IV. This missile was successfully fired from
[00:40:53] the Integrated Testing Range Chandipur in Odisha. It should
[00:40:56] be noted that this test was conducted under the supervision
[00:41:00] of the Strategic Force Command. All operational and technical
[00:41:03] parameters were confirmed by this launch.
[00:41:07] To promote intellectual property in India and to give
[00:41:10] a new direction to the innovation-based economy, the
[00:41:14] India IP Advantage Summit 2026 was organized.
[00:41:18] During this, extensive discussions were held on topics such
[00:41:21] as the protection of intellectual property rights, promotion of
[00:41:25] innovation, strengthening industry-academic collaboration, and establishing India
[00:41:29] as a global innovation hub. According to the Trade Promotion
[00:41:32] Council of India, this summit will increase awareness
[00:41:36] about intellectual property in
[00:42:40] officials, in which the government shared its concerns on various issues. a meeting was held with
[00:43:03] Sources say that this dialogue between the government and Meta
[00:43:06] will continue and more meetings are likely to take place
[00:43:10] between the two sides in the coming days. This meeting is
[00:43:13] happening at a time when Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg
[00:43:19] exploitation content, deepfakes, and lapses in platform operations, including
[00:43:23] this incident. Earlier on Wednesday, IT Secretary S. Krishna
[00:43:27] said that the government wants to understand why some of
[00:43:30] Meta's systems are not working as expected and what steps
[00:43:34] the company is taking to prevent such incidents in the
[00:43:38] future. He said that there should be adequate safeguards in
[00:43:42] cases of verified accounts of public figures. According to government
[00:43:45] sources, Meta authorities admitted that some content was promoted
[00:43:49] for money and expressed regret over it. The government
[00:43:53] made it clear to the company that it cannot escape
[00:43:56] responsibility by claiming to be merely an intermediary. Sources say
[00:44:00] that due to its active role in the distribution and
[00:44:03] promotion of content, the safe harbor protection available under
[00:44:07] IT law will not be considered automatically applicable.
[00:44:11] This entire controversy started when a Facebook post
[00:44:14] by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was temporarily removed due to
[00:44:18] a technical glitch. Meta called it a technical error, restored
[00:44:22] the post, and apologized, but the government did not consider
[00:44:26] this explanation sufficient. After this, Meta's top global
[00:44:29] officials were summoned, and now today, in the second
[00:44:32] round of meetings, the government will discuss accountability and corrective
[00:44:36] measures in detail with the company. Bhopal Doordarshan Kendra
[00:44:40] has taken an important step towards giving a new identity
[00:44:44] to regional dialects, and from Thursday, the Regional News
[00:44:47] Unit at Doordarshan Kendra Bhopal formally launched a
[00:44:50] daily news bulletin in the Bundeli dialect. This bulletin
[00:44:55] 12 noon. The chief guest of the program was Mamta
[00:44:59] Verma, Director General of DD News, and the special
[00:45:02] guest was Additional Director General Ritu Shukla. The
[00:45:05] bulletin started with the lighting of the lamp, and on
[00:45:09] this occasion, Mamta Verma said that making the
[00:45:11] local languages of the country
[00:45:14] a part of the news bulletin will strengthen the
[00:45:18] respect for local languages and their global identity.
[00:45:21] She said that the news broadcast from the
[00:45:24] Doordarshan platform will set a standard. Because this
[00:45:28] bulletin will go all over the world. So
[00:45:32] far, in many languages on YouTube, Bundeli must
[00:45:35] be doing well, but
[00:45:38] becomes a standard for news.
[00:45:42] That this news is correct, this is how the news
[00:45:46] should be. Bundeli is a language that is spoken
[00:45:49] in Madhya Pradesh as well as in Uttar Pradesh. So
[00:45:53] the people of Madhya Pradesh
[00:45:54] have also extended it to Uttar
[00:45:57] Pradesh. Your bulletin will reach there. So many congratulations
[00:46:01] to you all. During this, Additional Director General
[00:46:04] of DD News Ritu Shukla said that Bundeli is
[00:46:08] a prominent dialect not only in Madhya Pradesh but also
[00:46:12] in several districts of Uttar Pradesh. She said that
[00:46:15] the Bundeli news bulletin will be able to present
[00:46:17] the news of the entire
[00:46:19] Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh on one
[00:46:23] platform, which will expand the scope of regional news.
[00:46:27] Bundeli language is spoken not only in Madhya Pradesh, but
[00:46:31] also in some districts of Uttar Pradesh, and
[00:46:35] our headquarters has taken a step towards an Integrated
[00:46:38] Newsroom, which will be fully implemented in
[00:46:42] the next five or six months. And when it is
[00:46:45] implemented, then in Bundeli news, whether you want
[00:46:49] news from UP or the entire area, we can
[00:46:53] cover it. So we can say that when we give
[00:46:57] Bundeli news, we will be able to give news
[00:47:00] of the entire Bundelkhand region. DD News Madhya Pradesh
[00:47:04] Regional News Chief Pooja P. Vardhan said that the
[00:47:08] Bundeli news bulletin will become a medium to give
[00:47:11] national recognition to the language, culture and local
[00:47:14] concerns of the region.
[00:47:17] She informed that Doordarshan Madhya Pradesh has prepared
[00:47:20] a panel of nine talented news readers for
[00:47:24] this initiative, which will provide a new platform
[00:47:28] for youth to showcase their talent. The Bundeli
[00:47:31] bulletin will include news from the Bundelkhand region
[00:47:34] of Madhya Pradesh as well as news from
[00:47:38] the Bundeli-speaking areas of Uttar Pradesh through the
[00:47:42] word Prasar Bharti.
