[00:03:53] and there will be a brainstorming emissions
[00:03:55] with their guides, senior in developed countries are six times more than
[00:03:58] in India. Six times more carbon
[00:04:02] I am Urvashi Khona for DD News. emissions. India presents
[00:04:05] this fact strongly
[00:04:09] on global platforms and I will tell
[00:04:12] every Indian, you also show
[00:04:15] courage. The PM said that India
[00:04:19] is the only country in the G-20 that has fulfilled
[00:04:23] all the commitments of Paris COP 20
[00:04:26] ahead of time. Discussing the efforts related
[00:04:30] to climate protection in the last 12 years, the PM mentioned efforts
[00:04:33] like promoting natural farming.
[00:04:37] More than 70 thousand
[00:04:41] for train operations. Kavach Amrit Sarovars have been built
[00:04:44] in the country. Under the Catch the Rain campaign, about
[00:04:48] 1.5 crore water harvesting structures have been
[00:04:51] built in the country, which are conserving
[00:04:55] rainwater. Through the Prime Minister's Agricultural Irrigation Scheme,
[00:04:59] training. This year, today more than 2 crore farmers
[00:05:03] are connected with modern irrigation facilities.
[00:05:06] The PM highlighted the help received in the direction
[00:05:10] of environmental protection due to a 950-fold increase
[00:05:13] in the number of electronic vehicles, rapid work in areas
[00:05:17] like clean mobility, expansion of metro network in more
[00:05:21] than 20 cities and 100% electrification
[00:05:24] of railways in the last 12 years.
[00:05:27] The country is working rapidly on nuclear energy
[00:05:31] generation, and those who keep giving long speeches
[00:05:35] on the environment, when I will advance
[00:05:37] the work of nuclear energy, they will stand
[00:05:41] in the courts to stop it.
[00:05:43] The way has been made to bring private players
[00:05:47] in this sector also. Due to
[00:05:50] these efforts, today India's non-fossil
[00:05:53] energy capacity
[00:05:55] has increased almost four
[00:05:59] times. On this occasion, the PM
[00:06:02] also launched the NGT mobile app. Addressing
[00:06:06] the conference, Chief Justice of India Justice
[00:06:09] Suryakant mentioned the historical decisions
[00:06:13] of the Supreme Court related to climate protection.
[00:06:17] The Supreme Court has over the decades championed the idea that progress
[00:06:20] without preservation is but a mirage that vanishes
[00:06:24] in the desert of ecological
[00:06:27] ruin. Its rulings underscore how
[00:06:30] safeguarding nature is not an act of
[00:06:33] altruism but of self-preservation and
[00:06:37] investment in the very continuity of life. NGT Chairman Justice Prakash
[00:06:41] Srivastava said that the PM's efforts
[00:06:45] related to climate protection have advanced global
[00:06:48] environmental cooperation. Your leadership has given new
[00:06:52] momentum to India's journey towards
[00:06:55] environmental sustainability.
[00:06:59] Under your visionary leadership, India
[00:07:02] has undertaken several transformative
[00:07:04] initiatives that reflect a comprehensive
[00:07:08] approach to environmental
[00:07:10] governance. This conference is an important platform
[00:07:14] for the exchange of judicial perspectives, environmental
[00:07:17] management and institutional experiences between different countries.
[00:07:21] Bureau Report, DD
[00:07:22] News, with Tapas.

[00:07:52] assembly constituencies of Punjab. Four Drug-Free Punjab Yatras
[00:07:56] are being organized by BJP in the state from September
[00:07:59] 18 to 30. The objective of these yatras is to increase public
[00:08:03] awareness against drugs and connect
[00:08:04] people with this campaign.
[00:08:07] So today, the message of a drug-free Punjab will be given in Fazilka.
[00:08:11] The drug-free yatra will go to Jalandhar. Let me tell you that
[00:08:15] this yatra is being organized by the Bharatiya Janata Party.
[00:08:18] Arjun Ram Meghwal will flag off the yatra starting from Fazilka

[00:09:21] रेल परिचालन में सुरक्षा को और मजबूत करने के लिए नई पहल की
[00:09:25] गई है उत्तर पूर्व रेलवे के लखनऊ खंड में 600 से अधिक
[00:09:29] Kavach 4.0 has been approved for installation on more than
[00:09:32] 600 route kilometers in the Lucknow section of North
[00:09:35] Eastern Railway. The cost of this project is more
[00:09:39] than ₹250 crore. The Railway Ministry said that the approved
[00:09:43] project will extend Kavach 4.0 to the remaining identified
[00:09:46] sections. This will further strengthen the security
[00:09:50] infrastructure available
[00:09:54] is an indigenously developed automatic train protection system
[00:09:58] designed to improve operational safety. This system helps
[00:10:01] prevent trains from passing signals by automatically
[00:10:05] applying brakes as needed at the point of danger.
[00:10:08] It assists in safe traffic by monitoring train operations.
[00:10:13] Kavach 4.0 is the latest and most advanced version
[00:10:16] of this system. It has been developed through continuous
[00:10:20] technological upgrades
[00:10:21] based on operational feedback
[00:10:24] and independent safety assessments. The three-day Semicon
[00:10:27] 2026 organized at Yashobhoomi in Delhi
[00:10:31] has concluded. In this event held from September 17 to 19,
[00:10:35] investment proposals worth billions of dollars came forward,
[00:10:38] and several strategic agreements were also signed, and a roadmap
[00:10:42] was prepared to give new momentum
[00:10:43] to India's semiconductor ecosystem.
[00:10:47] In Semicon 2026, global confidence in India's
[00:10:50] semiconductor ecosystem was clearly visible. The background
[00:10:54] of the conference was prepared with a high-level round table
[00:10:57] held on September 26, and top officials of the world's
[00:11:01] leading chip companies and Indian tech companies
[00:11:05] participated in it. The meeting emphasized India's role in making
[00:11:08] the global supply chain stronger and more reliable.
[00:11:12] The semiconductor sector is also considered important
[00:11:16] for critical industries such as automotive and electronics.
[00:11:20] One thing was very clear that all of
[00:11:23] them are now convinced
[00:11:25] and they are trying to find out some opportunity in India to invest to
[00:11:29] collaborate and to contribute, and this is not
[00:11:31] only required for the development of India, it is also required for supply
[00:11:35] chain resilience for the global order. Also,
[00:11:39] semiconductor is a very strategic sector, and India is seen as a
[00:11:42] trusted player in this entire ecosystem. If something is
[00:11:45] developed here, it will be helpful for the entire global
[00:11:49] ecosystem in that way. In three days of Semicon
[00:11:52] 2026, investment commitments
[00:11:55] of came forward, while more than
[00:11:58] 50 MOUs were signed. More than 40 thousand
[00:12:02] people were present at the event.
[00:12:06] More than 600 exhibitors participated and
[00:12:09] more than 300 global CXOs took part. The role of
[00:12:13] states in the semiconductor sector was also prominent
[00:12:16] in this event. 12 states presented their industrial
[00:12:20] policies and facilities to investors
[00:12:23] through their respective pavilions.
[00:12:26] The big highlight is the recognition of the fact that the
[00:12:30] government policies are very
[00:12:33] well embraced by the entire
[00:12:36] globe that is manifested by the number
[00:12:39] of international companies here, the number of
[00:12:43] visitors and participants in this conference and the number
[00:12:46] of sessions and the contents we
[00:12:49] addressed all the contents which is the mission
[00:12:53] of semi mission of ISM silicon to
[00:12:56] system building the ecosystem.
[00:13:00] India's goal is not just to attract investment, but to
[00:13:03] build a strong and self-reliant semiconductor ecosystem.
[00:13:06] By the completion of Semicon 2.0, India aims to attract
[00:13:10] a total investment of more than 6 lakh crore
[00:13:14] rupees, and along with this, there are plans to set
[00:13:17] up commercial fab plants and more than a dozen
[00:13:21] packaging and testing units. The message is very
[00:13:24] clear that India has moved from
[00:13:27] actions to the momentum. Now, the global community is looking at India as a
[00:13:31] credible partner, a trusted partner. The investors are
[00:13:34] looking to explore India, how they can invest, the innovators are
[00:13:38] looking to develop their own IPs and the products, and the manufacturing companies
[00:13:42] are looking into how they can expand their manufacturing footprint in
[00:13:46] India for the global supplies.
[00:13:49] Along with semiconductors, consumer electronics and
[00:13:52] related hardware industries are also being prepared
[00:13:56] to be brought together on a common platform. A large
[00:13:59] mega event is planned for March 2028,
[00:14:03] and its purpose is to provide India's electronics and semiconductor
[00:14:06] ecosystem with a comprehensive national platform.
[00:14:09] Every year, a new chip and excellent model
[00:14:13] with an ecosystem, and that too only 'Made in India',
[00:14:17] so chips exist, but now they have also become 'Made for World',
[00:14:20] such an example we see. With video
[00:14:24] journalist Vinod from Delhi,
[00:14:27] The government has made biometric Aadhaar authentication
[00:14:31] mandatory for subsidized domestic LPG refills
[00:14:35] from October 1. The Petroleum Ministry
[00:14:39] has said that domestic LPG customers will have to complete
[00:14:42] biometric Aadhaar authentication to book refills at the fixed
[00:14:46] retail price and applicable subsidy.
[00:14:49] However, nearly 90%, i.e., more
[00:14:52] than 27 crore consumers have already completed
[00:14:56] the authentication and will not need to do anything
[00:14:59] further. Those who have done it will not have to do anything.
[00:15:03] Biometric Aadhaar authentication (BAA) will ensure
[00:15:06] that subsidized LPG reaches only genuine and needy
[00:15:09] families. Linking each connection to an Aadhaar-authenticated
[00:15:13] consumer helps prevent the diversion of subsidized
[00:15:16] domestic cylinders for commercial and
[00:15:19] industrial use, eliminates duplicate
[00:15:23] and ineligible connections, and makes the method
[00:15:26] of delivering subsidies transparent and reaching
[00:15:29] the right people. The government has clarified that the objective
[00:15:33] of this process is not to deprive any genuine family
[00:15:37] of LPG, and every eligible consumer can complete
[00:15:41] it through several easy methods.
[00:15:43] Let us tell you what kind
[00:15:47] of changes are going to happen from October 1, 2026.
[00:15:51] Actually, biometric Aadhaar authentication,
[00:15:55] that is BAA, you will have to complete it. It is necessary.
[00:15:58] If BAA is completed, re-authentication will not
[00:16:01] be required. Upon completion of BAA, refills will be available
[00:16:05] as before. So, new rules for LPG refills are going
[00:16:09] to be implemented from October. Please pay special attention.
[00:16:12] Upon completion of BAA, you will continue to receive refills
[00:16:16] as before. Authentication has been made mandatory for consumers
[00:16:19] with pending BAA. If authentication is completed, you will be
[00:16:23] able to book refills at RSP with subsidy.
[00:16:27] That means you will not have to do anything further.
[00:16:30] Now, let's also know how to complete BAA. At the time of
[00:16:34] delivery, you can get help from the delivery person.
[00:16:38] You can get authentication done on the spot through
[00:16:42] OMC mobile apps. Authentication can be done at the LPG distributor's
[00:16:46] shop, that is, where your LPG cylinder connection
[00:16:50] is. You can also complete this process sitting at
[00:16:53] home through the OMC app. For these, the mobile
[00:16:57] app Indian Oil One, for Bharat Gas, the mobile
[00:17:02] BPCL, for HP Gas, the mobile app
[00:17:05] HP Pay video
[00:17:07] tutorial is available on PMUY. And not only this,
[00:17:11] toll-free numbers have also been issued. That means
[00:17:15] these helpline numbers will help you, and we are showing
[00:17:18] them to you on the screen through graphics. 1800

[00:20:37] about new technology for the betterment of the dental
[00:20:41] field, which definitely presents some challenges,
[00:20:44] but its role is quite good and it is for the benefit
[00:20:47] of the patient. Also, in this program,
[00:20:51] paper presentation and poster presentation competitions
[00:20:55] are being organized for dental students on both days.
[00:20:58] Apart from this, expert doctors are also giving lectures
[00:21:01] on many challenges in the dental field. Narendra Kumar, DD
[00:21:10] news. In Madhya Pradesh, questions have been raised
[00:21:14] about another claim by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi
[00:21:18] regarding OBC reservation. Reactions have come
[00:21:22] up on social media regarding the truth of Rahul
[00:21:25] Gandhi's claim. Rahul Gandhi had claimed in Indore
[00:21:29] that in March 2019, the Congress government
[00:21:32] had increased OBC reservation from 14% to 27%,
[00:21:36] which the BJP stopped citing the court. But on social
[00:21:40] media, it is being claimed that the truth of Rahul
[00:21:44] Gandhi's claim is something else. According to reports,
[00:21:48] the decision to increase OBC reservation was not stopped
[00:21:52] by the BJP government, but by the Madhya Pradesh
[00:21:55] High Court, and this order came at a time when the Congress
[00:21:59] government was in power in Madhya Pradesh. Actually,
[00:22:02] the Kamal Nath government had issued an ordinance
[00:22:05] on March 8, 2019, increasing OBC reservation
[00:22:08] from 14% to 27%.
[00:22:12] SC, ST, OBC reservation to 63%. Just 9 days
[00:22:15] after this, on March 19, 2019, the Madhya
[00:22:19] Pradesh High Court had directed not to implement
[00:22:22] more than 14% OBC reservation for admission in colleges
[00:22:26] until the matter was pending in court. Later, the BJP
[00:22:30] government issued an order on September 2, 2021,
[00:22:33] to implement 27% OBC reservation
[00:22:35] in those recruitments on which there was no special stay from the court.
[00:22:38] After these facts came to light, questions are being
[00:22:41] raised on Rahul Gandhi's claim, and he is also
[00:22:45] being accused of lying. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister
[00:22:49] Dr. Mohan Yadav has reacted to the program 'Goonj of Students'
[00:22:52] by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in Indore. He said that
[00:22:56] discussions on topics like children, youth and education
[00:23:00] should be based on facts and figures. The Chief Minister
[00:23:02] said that continuous
[00:23:05] work has been done in the field of school education
[00:23:09] in Madhya Pradesh and progress has also
[00:23:12] been made in reducing the dropout rate. Leader of Opposition
[00:23:16] Rahul Gandhi held his program of "Echo of Lies"
[00:23:21] and as it happens, the Leader of Opposition
[00:23:24] is always careless about his subject.
[00:23:28] Even today, without preparation, he talked to some children,
