00:07:00On the eve of National Handloom Day, Prime Minister Narendra
00:07:04Modi has appealed to the countrymen to adopt Indian handloom
00:07:07and support weavers. In his video message released
00:07:11on Instagram, the Prime Minister said that August 7
00:07:15is associated with the historical legacy of the Swadeshi
00:07:18Movement. He reminded that on this day, the Swadeshi
00:07:22Movement gave a new direction to the country's freedom struggle
00:07:25and millions of people pledged to boycott foreign
00:07:28goods and adopt indigenous products.
00:07:32The Prime Minister said that National Handloom Day is not just
00:07:35a celebration, but an opportunity to honor the
00:07:39hard work and talent of millions of weaver families in the country.
00:07:42He appealed to the people to buy handloom products,
00:07:46bring their diversity and quality to the world, and also

00:07:57the responsibility of all of us to promote local products

00:08:16Friends, 1905,
00:08:19August 7th, we must not
00:08:23forget.
00:08:25On August 7, 1905, the Swadeshi Movement for the
00:08:29country's independence began. And
00:08:32the foundation of Aatmanirbhar Bharat was laid.
00:08:36The countrymen fought
00:08:38a very big battle against the British.

00:09:20there?
00:09:23And you too, in this way, with a handloom
00:09:30by making a GRWM video, you
00:09:34can certainly put your point before the world
00:09:38and inspire people for handloom.
00:09:43Our job is to empower these small, poor
00:09:47families financially
00:09:50to make India self-reliant.
00:09:53Let us buy something
00:09:56made of handloom
00:09:58ourselves. Make a video
00:10:02of it and promote that video in the country
00:10:05and the world so that the
00:10:08world also gets acquainted with the capabilities of
00:10:12our weaver brothers and sisters. Come, August 7th, Handloom
00:10:16Day. Many, many congratulations.
00:10:19In the direction of further strengthening the strategic partnership
00:10:22between India and Israel, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:10:30reviewed the progress made so
00:10:33far under the partnership and reiterated his commitment
00:10:37to further expand bilateral cooperation in various sectors. During
00:10:40the talks, both leaders also exchanged views on the recent developments
00:10:44in West Asia. Both agreed to maintain mutual
00:10:47contact while discussing regional situations. According
00:10:51to the Prime Minister's Office, India and Israel reiterated
00:10:55their resolve to further promote cooperation in various areas of mutual
00:10:58interest and to give new strength
00:10:59to the relations between the two countries.
00:11:04The Union Cabinet has taken two important decisions to empower
00:11:08the country's infrastructure and energy sector. On one hand,
00:11:11the GOBARdhan scheme worth ₹23,731
00:11:14crore has been approved to promote biogas
00:11:18production in India, and on the other hand, the Union Cabinet has also
00:11:21approved the development of a four-lane Guwahati-Tezpur
00:11:25corridor in Assam to boost connectivity and infrastructure.
00:11:29To promote biogas production
00:11:33in the country, the Modi government has approved
00:11:36the Gobardhan scheme worth ₹23,731
00:11:40crore. This scheme will have six important pillars,
00:11:43from setting up new biogas plants to guarantee purchases. The
00:11:47government will also support this scheme for 10 years, from credit
00:11:51guarantee to setting up plants. An assured offtake, that
00:11:55is, a guarantee of buying, has been given in this.
00:11:58Second is price stability. The price of global oil,
00:12:02the price of gas, keeps going up and down. So
00:12:05that biogas does not have to face
00:12:08all that price volatility, a system of assured
00:12:12price has been created for it, and support will be given
00:12:15for the capital expenditure involved in setting up biogas plants.
00:12:18CAPEX support. And the fourth pillar is pipeline
00:12:22infrastructure, that is, the pipeline network needed
00:12:25to deliver biogas from the plant to consumers. To support
00:12:31pillar has been included in this scheme.
00:12:34In another important decision, to strengthen connectivity in the North
00:12:37East, the Guwahati-Tezpur corridor, 135.87
00:12:41km long, on NH15
00:12:43in Assam has been approved. A proposal to build
00:12:47a four-lane road at a total cost of ₹8970
00:12:50crore has also been approved. This is the
00:12:53Brahmaputra Chali, that is, from just outside Guwahati
00:12:57to Tezpur, NH 15, which
00:13:00is located on the North Bank of Guwahati, I
00:13:04mean, on the North Bank of Brahmaputra. This
00:13:08is its project, and this
00:13:11will become a very important
00:13:15highway for connectivity for many
00:13:17places in Arunachal and Nagaland. This four-lane highway
00:13:21is 135 kilometers long, and
00:13:25it will cost approximately ₹8970
00:13:28crore. In the third term of the Modi government,
00:13:32the pace of infrastructure development projects has accelerated, which has not
00:13:36only increased the pace of development, but also created many employment
00:13:39opportunities. New benchmarks have been set in all
00:13:43parameters of development in recent years. Shailendra Mishra's report
00:13:45for DD News.
00:13:48In Jharkhand, the students' movement against irregularities in competitive
00:13:52examinations is gaining momentum. Students have been protesting for 13
00:13:55consecutive days. Now, their anger has become a major
00:13:58challenge for the government. On one hand, the opposition is cornering
00:14:02the government inside the assembly, and on the other hand, students
00:14:06outside have declared a do-or-die battle. The question arises why parties
00:14:10who were vocal about paper leaks and recruitment scams
00:14:13when in opposition, become
00:14:14silent after coming to power.
00:14:19The 13th day and the students' anger is at its peak.
00:14:23The streets of Ranchi are testifying that the
00:14:26patience of the youth has broken. The movement
00:14:30against alleged irregularities in JPSC and JSSC
00:14:33examinations is continuously intensifying. Meanwhile,
00:14:37a march to the assembly under the banner of AISA (All India
00:14:41Students' Association) on August 7 and a gherao of
00:14:45the assembly on August 10 have been announced. The
00:14:48students' demand is that assurances alone will not work, but
00:14:52there should be an impartial investigation and action against the culprits.
00:15:25Koini JPSC, JSSC created a ruckus over alleged
00:15:28irregularities in the examinations. BJP, AJSU and
00:15:31LJP MLAs sat on a dharna at the main gate of the assembly
00:15:35and in the JPSC, JSSC examinations,
00:15:45Leader of Opposition Babulal Marandi accused the government of playing with the future of the youth and said that the government is avoiding
00:15:49giving answers. In JCC and JPSC, will
00:15:53you make corrupt
00:15:56officers chairman,
00:15:59members, secretary? How can the government be trusted?
00:16:03How can it be believed? That is why we said that
00:16:06there should be an investigation
00:16:09under court supervision and
00:16:13the results of the investigation should also come within the stipulated time.
00:16:16Amidst this entire incident, questions are also being raised
00:16:20about the attitude of political parties. When the issue of paper leaks and recruitment
00:16:24scams arises at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, parties like Congress,
00:16:28RJD, and Samajwadi Party appear at the forefront in support
00:16:32of the students. But their activism in the students' movement
00:16:35in Jharkhand is under question. The opposition alleges that
00:16:39after coming to power, instead of sensitivity on students' issues,
00:16:42explanations and inquiry committees are being resorted to. JMM
00:16:46still seems confused in differentiating between the movements in Jharkhand
00:16:49and Delhi. The movement in Delhi and the Jharkhand
00:16:53movement are completely different. Students in Delhi kept
00:16:57protesting for 25-30 days, but no heed was paid
00:17:01to them. When there was pressure from the opposition, Parliament was gheraoed, and
00:17:05all this happened, then they were ready to talk to them.
00:18:07examination. If the government does not restore confidence
00:18:11soon, then this movement can prove to be a big
00:18:15challenge for it on both political and administrative fronts.
00:18:18Diwakar Kumar's report from Ranchi with bureau inputs.
00:18:21DD
00:18:23News. The struggle of students in Ranchi is gaining
00:18:27strength from the eight protesting students sitting on an indefinite
00:18:30hunger strike. The students, who have given up food and are sticking to their demands,
00:18:34say that their struggle will continue until they get justice.
00:18:38Let's watch the story of those eight young people who chose
00:18:42the most difficult path to make
00:18:42their voices heard.
00:18:46I walked alone on the path to my destination,
00:18:49but people kept joining and the caravan kept growing.
00:18:53Something similar is the story of eight student leaders
00:18:56and students sitting on an indefinite hunger strike at Jaipal Singh
00:19:00Munda Stadium in Ranchi. The movement and struggle
00:19:04have reached new heights due to these eight students. Student leader Debendranath
00:19:07Mahto was the first to decide on a hunger strike
00:19:11like Satyagraha. He now looks weak, but his spirits
00:19:14are strong for the welfare of students. Why has the government become
00:19:17so merciless?
00:19:21While it is the local government of the state and
00:19:24the genuine demand of its students,
00:19:27we will continue this movement on
00:19:31hunger strike and call for a
00:19:34march to the assembly on August 10.
00:19:38The issue of irregularities in competitive examinations in Jharkhand is resonating
00:19:42across the country. The methods of student agitation
00:19:47The agitation is continuing with decency here. By giving up food,
00:19:50Mahendra Prasad, Prem Nayak and some Mahto are also making
00:19:54their voices heard to the government. We are not able to clear even a single exam in Jharkhand.
00:19:58The reason is that all jobs are sold for 20, 25, 30
00:20:01lakhs, 50 lakhs. This is a living proof. We want to tell the government,
00:20:05that is, Shri Hemant Soren ji, that if you don't listen to us,
00:20:09we demand your resignation. And we will continue to take our movement
00:20:13forward. In all exams, our vacancies are being directly sold
00:20:17to middlemen, and blacklisted companies are being sent
00:20:20to Jharkhand, and exams are being conducted by
00:20:24them. The daughters of Jharkhand are also not behind
00:20:27in this fight for justice. Girls have also participated
00:20:32from the very first day. The caravan is growing every day. Now,
00:20:36Habiba and Savita Kumari have also taken
00:20:40a step further and started a hunger strike. Until the government
00:20:43listens to our demands, because our rights have been violated,
00:20:47if they do not return our rights with interest, then we
00:20:51will not eat here, no matter what happens. This
00:20:54movement is also sending a message to the country. The month of August
00:20:58generally ignites a new spirit of patriotism, and these students
00:21:02also showed that spirit during the tricolor march
00:21:05in Ranchi. The protest site is filled with patriotic songs.
00:21:09My color is Saffron, my color
00:21:12is Saffron.
00:21:16resignation, as well as a CBI inquiry into all the examinations
00:21:20held in the last five to six years. Now, in this movement
00:21:23of students, the caravan of their hunger strike is also continuously
00:21:27increasing, and now eight students have joined this hunger
00:21:30strike. With my colleagues Vikas and Saurav, I am Diwakar
00:21:34Kumar for Doordarshan Samachar, Ranchi. In Thiruvananthapuram,
00:21:38the capital of Kerala, hundreds of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha
00:21:42workers staged a massive protest. This protest by the BJP's youth wing
00:21:45was in support of the Public Service Commission rank holders
00:21:49who are on hunger strike against the government. A large number of
00:21:53workers and candidates marched towards the Secretariat, but the police stopped them by erecting barricades.
00:21:56When the protestors tried to cross the barricades, the situation became
00:22:00tense. To disperse the crowd, the police first used water
00:22:03cannons and then also resorted to lathi charge. During the protest,
00:22:07there were also reports of several workers and candidates being detained.
00:22:10In fact, candidates included in the Lower Primary School Teacher
00:22:13and Kerala Public Service Commission rank list have been sitting on
00:22:17a hunger strike in front of the Secretariat for several days. The protesting
00:22:21candidate on hunger strike alleges that the government is not giving
00:22:24them joining despite passing the exam and being on the rank list. It is also alleged that the government
00:22:28has started giving backdoor joining by sidelining eligible candidates.
00:22:32Now, the protestors allege that the government is playing
00:22:36with the future of the youth. They have alleged that both CPM
00:22:39and Congress are reacting to the issues with a double
00:22:42standard and are adopting a double standard and snatching the rights of the youth.
00:22:46However, the Kerala PSC has released the schedule
00:22:50for interviews and other recruitment processes for the month of August, but the dissatisfaction
00:22:53of the protesting candidates on the street is not stopping. From social media to the streets,
00:22:57the youth have only one question: when will they get the appointment
00:23:01letter if their name is on the merit list?
00:23:08RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat interacted with Gen Z
00:23:12and Gen Alpha youth in Mumbai. During
00:23:15this, he spoke on issues like the Gen Z
00:23:19movement in Delhi, the education system, and the use of social
00:23:23media. Referring to the Delhi movement, Mohan
00:23:26Bhagwat said that in a democracy, protest is also a way
00:23:30of building consensus. Many types of ideas come forward
00:23:33and consensus is built through dialogue. If due
00:23:37to different reasons, things are
00:23:41can be done, but it should be done
00:23:44not to create division.
00:23:48Agitation is also a way
00:23:50of dialogue.
00:23:53We are talking here, and it has been understood, okay,
00:23:57if not, our debate
00:24:00will continue.
00:24:03You are in some difficulty or I am in some difficulty,
00:24:07it is in your hands to solve it, not mine. And if it is not happening,
00:24:10I will shout. I will bring you from there.
00:24:14Do this first. It is urgent. I will
00:24:17say that. In a democracy,
00:24:20various reasons, if that thing protest
00:24:22is also a way to
00:24:24build consensus. Lot of views come
00:24:28together and a consensus
00:24:32after discussion. The
00:24:33discussion.
00:24:37Due to
00:24:40is not heard, agitation can be done.
00:24:43sakte,
00:24:45But all this should be done to evolve the
00:24:47consensus. Not to create
00:24:51divisions.
00:24:54RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said during this interaction
00:24:58program that Gen Z and Gen Alpha are more
00:25:01honest than the current generation. While speaking on primary
00:25:05education, the RSS chief emphasized that education is not a commercial
00:25:08business, but a necessity of life. Therefore, to ensure
00:25:12that education is accessible to all, the structure needs
00:25:16to be considered. Discussion on all aspects, including fees, is necessary.
00:25:50I have to see this much, this discretion
00:25:53is needed. In social media,
00:25:57technology is such that even by making my and your pictures,
00:26:01they can put words in our mouths with sound and everything. Fake
00:26:04videos and such come.
00:26:07So after knowing this, while using social
00:26:11media, do not believe anything without verifying
00:26:14it from an authentic source.
00:26:17Union Home Minister Amit Shah met with a 16-member
00:26:21delegation of the Christian community in New Delhi. The
00:26:24delegation, which came under the leadership of the United
00:26:28Minority Action Forum, discussed the Foreign Contribution
00:26:30Regulation
00:28:02was organized. On this occasion, the artists, producers,
00:28:05directors, and many distinguished guests of the series were present.
00:28:09During the program, a special video message from Defense
00:28:13Minister Rajnath Singh was also released, in which he paid tribute
00:28:16to the valor and sacrifice of the Indian Air Force
00:28:20and called such presentations an important medium to convey
00:28:24the country's military history to the new generation. This series is an
00:28:27attempt to bring the story of historical Operation
00:28:31White Sea, conducted by the Indian Air Force
00:28:34during the Kargil War of 1999,
00:28:36to the audience. The Indian Air Force
00:28:40changed the course and direction of that war with
00:28:43Operation White Sea. You all have made efforts
00:28:47to preserve it through this web series and pass
00:28:49it on to the next generation. Bringing
00:28:53the intensity of Kargil to a global platform
00:28:56like Netflix is a big deal in itself.
00:28:59Portraying it on the silver screen with complete
00:29:02authenticity and sensitivity is a big challenge
00:29:06in itself.
00:29:08Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
00:29:12has hit back at the Congress's allegations regarding MDR charges
00:29:15on UPI. Senior Congress leader and MP Jairam
00:29:19Ramesh had shared a post on the social media platform
00:29:23X, making serious allegations against the Modi government
00:29:26and saying that the Taxation and Other Laws Bill
00:29:302026 brought by the government abolishes the statutory
00:29:33guarantee under which UPI transactions were kept completely
00:29:37free of charge until now. This amendment paves the way
00:29:41for applying Merchant Discount Rate on all types of digital
00:29:45payments in the country in the future. In response to this, the Finance
00:29:48Minister has termed these claims of the Congress as false
00:29:52rumors and misleading. In her message, she wrote that Merchant
00:29:55Discount Rate is applicable only to merchants and not
00:29:59to end consumers or customers. This system will support
00:30:03banks and fintech companies in investing more in infrastructure,
00:30:06innovation, and security, the direct benefit of which will ultimately go to all UPI users.
00:30:10The Finance Minister stated that no decision has been taken
00:30:14regarding MDR by the NPCI-led UPI and Services Steering
00:30:17Committee so far. This process will move forward only
00:30:21after the passage of the Taxation and Other Laws Amendment
00:30:24Bill 2026 by Parliament, which proposes amendments
00:30:28to Section 10A of the Payment and Settlement Systems Act. The
00:30:32Finance Minister took a dig at the Congress party and said
00:30:35that if the Congress party had participated constructively in
00:30:39parliamentary proceedings, then all these issues could have been
00:30:42discussed in detail inside the House
00:30:44when this bill was tabled.
00:30:48Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman described the vision of developed
00:30:52India as a national priority at the C.D.
00:30:55Deshmukh Lecture of the National Council of Applied Economic
00:30:59Research in New Delhi. She said that developed India
00:31:03is not just about increasing per capita income, but
00:31:05an India where there is zero poverty, every
00:31:09citizen gets quality education and accessible healthcare,
00:31:12youth get skills and dignified employment,
00:31:45healthcare, every young person is
00:31:48equipped with skills and meaningful employment.
00:31:51Women participate fully in the economic
00:31:53activity, and our farmers make India the food
00:31:57basket for the world, and we
00:32:00shall be the leaders in tech driven knowledge
00:32:03economy. 2047 is no
00:32:07longer a distant aspiration, it's an
00:32:10immediate national horizon and a good deal of it must
00:32:14be settled with
00:32:45India must reject the psychology of victimhood. Our
00:32:48financial institutions, governance structures and public
00:32:51resources must widen the circle of opportunity.
00:32:55Our banks are all for all Indians, not just for select
00:32:59few. Banking must continue to be instrument for
00:33:02inclusion, ensuring that the aspiration finds support
00:33:06rather than barriers.
00:33:08Mudra Yojana has actually made us entrepreneur of
00:33:12every citizen who wants to benefit from the yojana and that
00:33:16is going to be the most important thing that we
00:33:19should recognize the entrepreneurial talent and
00:33:22skill in each one of our citizens. Quality education as I
00:33:26said, quality health care as I said, are entirely
00:33:30non-negotiable as national
00:33:33priorities.
00:33:36Union Minister Giriraj Singh inaugurated the 10th India International
00:33:39Food Fair 2026 at Bharat Mandapam. This B2B
00:33:43fair, organized by the India Trade Promotion Organization
00:33:47in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Food Fair Industries,
00:33:50will last for three days. This event is considered
00:33:53a comprehensive platform for showcasing innovation, strengthening
00:33:57business partnerships, and global food Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh said that
00:34:01we are fully confident that this event will provide new impetus
00:34:04to the Indian footwear industry and play an important
00:34:07role in realizing the resolve of Developed India
00:34:112047 and Self-reliant India.
00:34:16I think, just like in textiles, we
00:34:20used to consume 25 meters of cloth
00:34:23in 2014, today we are consuming 45 meters
00:34:27of cloth. Similarly, the use of footwear is also increasing.
00:34:30I am fully confident that in the coming
00:34:33days, when this trade fair is held
00:34:37next time, people from
00:34:40112 countries will come to India
00:34:43and this will be a very big
00:34:46footwear fair
00:34:49of the world. Union Minister of New
00:34:52and Renewable Energy
00:34:56Pralhad Joshi said that PM Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme
00:34:59is changing India's energy landscape. In October 2025,
00:35:03where there were 5000 solar
00:35:06installations per day, this number
00:35:10increased to 16,000 per day in July
00:35:132026. Addressing the 7th CII International
00:35:17Energy Conference held in New Delhi, the Union
00:35:21Minister said that this scheme
00:35:24energy to every household but has also strengthened
00:35:28the domestic solar manufacturing ecosystem in the country. The
00:35:32Central Government's PM Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme has
00:35:35now reached 50 lakh households. The pace of
00:35:39rooftop solar installation has also tripled to more
00:35:42than 16,000 per day. India is also moving
00:35:46towards achieving the target of 500 GW non-fossil
00:35:50fuel capacity by 2030.
00:35:53Industries Minister SD Kumar Swami said that under
00:35:57Aatmanirbhar Bharat, we are building a strong domestic
00:36:04has taken several steps for this, such as
00:36:07the PLI scheme of 18,100 crores, Green
00:36:10Energy Corridor, PLI for solar PV modules and
00:36:14BCD exemption for battery storage. Meanwhile, Madhya
00:36:17Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan said that Madhya
00:36:21Pradesh is rapidly moving
00:36:24forward in renewable energy. Delhi is getting electricity
00:36:33from Madhya Pradesh. This is a great example of sustainable development and cost savings. Many states
00:36:35of the country are doing this.
00:36:37We have created this demand by reducing the GST rate in
00:36:41RE devices and other manufacturing components
00:36:44from 12% to 5% for an
00:36:47ordinary family. This makes a typical 3 kilowatt rooftop
00:36:51solar system, which comes under the PM
00:36:54Suryaghar, around 90 to 1000,
00:36:5810,500 rupees cheaper, that is lesser
00:37:01cost.
00:37:05Today India stands as the world's fourth largest
00:37:08economy with the GDP of nearly
00:37:124.18 trillion US dollars and is
00:37:16firmly on course to become the third largest
00:37:19economy in the coming years. This
00:37:22remarkable growth is being powered by
00:37:26infrastructure expansion.
00:37:57Therefore, all kinds of doors are open for
00:38:01those who join us in our state
00:38:04and those who
00:38:05benefit from us.
00:38:08India has once again strengthened its nuclear-capable
00:38:12ballistic missile capability by successfully test-firing
00:38:16the medium-range ballistic missile Agni-4. This missile was
00:38:19successfully launched from the Integrated Testing Range,
00:38:23Chandipur, located in Odisha. It is
00:38:26worth noting that this test was conducted
00:38:29under the supervision
00:38:32of the Strategic Forces Command. This launch confirmed
00:38:36all operational and technical parameters. With the
00:38:39aim of promoting intellectual property in India and
00:38:42giving a new direction to the innovation-based economy,
00:38:46the India IP Advantage Summit 2026 was
00:38:50organized. During this, extensive discussions were held
00:38:53on topics such as the protection of intellectual
00:38:57property rights, promotion of innovation, strengthening
00:39:01industry-academia collaboration, and establishing India as
00:39:04a global innovation hub. According to the Trade
00:39:08Promotion Council of India, this summit will prove
00:39:11to be an important initiative in increasing awareness
00:39:15about intellectual property in India, promoting innovation,
00:39:19and giving new impetus to the country's
00:39:22economic progress and global competitiveness. Professor Unnat
00:39:25Pandit, Controller General of Patents, Designs,
00:39:29and Trademarks, who attended
00:39:32guest, said that the increase in patents
00:39:36is the result of government policies, which will
00:39:39have a significant contribution in developed India.
00:39:42The National IPR
00:39:46Government of India formulated in 2016,
00:39:49contained many suggestions for working on seven
00:39:53different objectives. DPIIT has not only
00:39:56implemented these suggestions
00:39:59strategically, but all the 18 different departments
00:40:03and ministries have implemented them in their own
00:40:07way. That is why today we
00:40:10are seeing unprecedented growth in all intellectual
00:40:14property rights. As part of the
00:40:17ongoing dialogue between social media platform Meta and
00:40:21the central government, Union
00:40:24Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw met senior Meta
00:40:28officials at Rail Bhawan on Thursday evening. According
00:40:31to sources, in this meeting which lasted
00:40:35for about 65 minutes, Meta's delegation, led
00:40:39by Caplan, presented its views on the concerns
00:40:42raised by the Ministry of Information Technology. A
00:40:46day before this, a meeting was also
00:40:50held with Meta officials at the
00:40:53secretary level of the ministry, in which
00:40:57the government had shared its concerns on various
00:41:01issues. Sources say that this dialogue between
00:41:04the government and Meta will continue and more
00:41:08meetings are likely to be held between
00:41:11both sides in the coming days. This
00:41:15meeting is happening at a time when yesterday
00:41:19Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized for
00:41:23the incident, including child sexual abuse material,
00:41:26deepfakes, and lapses in platform operations.
00:41:29Earlier on Wednesday, IT Secretary S.
00:41:33Krishnan said that the government wants to
00:41:37understand why some of Meta's systems are
00:41:41not working as expected and what steps the
00:41:44company is taking to prevent such incidents in
00:41:48the future. He said that adequate
00:41:51safeguards should be in place for verified
00:41:55accounts of public figures. According to
00:41:58government sources, Meta officials admitted that some
00:42:02content was promoted for money and expressed
00:42:06regret over it. The government clarified
00:42:10to the company that it cannot escape responsibility
00:42:13by merely claiming to be an intermediary.
00:42:17Sources say that due to its active
00:42:21and promotion, the safe harbor protection available
00:42:25under IT law will not be considered
00:42:28automatically applicable. This whole controversy started
00:42:31when a Facebook post by Prime
00:42:35Minister Narendra Modi was briefly
00:42:37removed
00:42:40or taken down due to a technical
00:42:44glitch. Meta reinstated the post, calling
00:42:47it a technical error, and also
00:42:50apologized, but the government did not
00:42:54consider this explanation sufficient. After this,
00:42:58top global officials of Meta were
00:43:01summoned and now
00:43:04round of meetings today, the government
00:43:08will discuss accountability and corrective measures
00:43:11in detail with the company. Bhopal Doordarshan
00:43:15Kendra has taken an important step in the
00:43:19direction of giving
00:43:20new recognition to
00:43:23regional dialects. From Thursday, the regional news
00:43:27unit at Doordarshan Kendra Bhopal formally
00:43:30launched a daily news bulletin in the
00:43:34Bundeli dialect. This bulletin will be
00:43:37broadcast daily at 12 noon. The
00:43:41chief guest of the
00:43:43program was Director
00:43:46General of DD News Mamta Verma
00:43:49and special guest was Additional Director General Ritu Shukla.
00:43:53The bulletin started with the lighting
00:43:57of the lamp, and on this
00:44:01occasion, Mamta Verma said that making
00:44:04the regional languages of the country
00:44:08a part of the news bulletin
00:44:12will strengthen the respect for local
00:44:15languages and their
00:44:17global identity.
00:44:19She said that the news broadcast
00:44:23from the platform of Doordarshan will
00:44:27set a standard. There are so
00:44:31many languages of the common people across
00:44:34the country, if they can be
00:44:38brought to the bulletin, I think
00:44:40it increases their
00:44:43pride and also increases their recognition
00:44:46in the country, because this bulletin
00:44:50will go all over the world.
00:44:54Till now, in many languages on
00:44:58YouTube, Bundeli must be quite
00:45:01popular, but when it comes from
00:45:04Doordarshan, it sets a standard for
00:45:08news, that this news is correct,
00:45:23this is how news should be.
00:45:26Bundeli is a language which is
00:45:29spoken in Madhya Pradesh as well
00:45:33as in Uttar Pradesh. So the
00:45:36people of Madhya Pradesh have also
00:46:10sent it to Uttar Pradesh. Your bulletin
00:46:13will go there, so congratulations
00:46:16to all of you.
00:46:20During this, Additional Director General of
00:46:23DD News Ritu Shukla said that
00:46:26Bundeli is not
00:46:29dialect of Madhya Pradesh but also
00:46:32of many districts of Uttar Pradesh.
00:46:35She said that in the Bundeli
00:46:39news bulletin, news from the entire
00:46:43Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh will
00:46:46be presented on
00:46:49one platform, which will broaden the
00:47:27scope of regional news. The Bundeli
00:47:30language is spoken not only in
00:47:34Madhya Pradesh but also in some
00:47:38districts of Uttar Pradesh. And
00:47:41our headquarters has taken a
00:47:45step towards an integrated newsroom,
00:47:47which will be fully implemented in
00:47:51the next five
00:47:53to six months.
00:48:00And when it is implemented,
00:48:03you will be able to cover
00:48:06the news of UP in Bundeli
00:48:09news, whether you want to cover
00:48:12the entire area. So we can
00:48:17we give Bundeli news, we will
00:48:21be able to give news of the entire Bundelkhand region.
00:48:31Puja Pyavardhan, Regional News Head
00:48:35of DD News Madhya Pradesh,
00:48:37said that the Bundeli news bulletin
00:48:41will become a medium to give
00:48:44national recognition to the language, culture,
00:48:48and local concerns of the region. She informed that
00:48:51Doordarshan Madhya Pradesh
00:49:22has prepared a panel of nine
00:49:25talented news readers for this initiative,
00:49:29which will provide a new platform

00:58:19News.
00:58:21Namaskar, you are watching
00:58:25Do Took on DD News.
00:58:28I am Ashok Srivastava. The
00:58:32mobile phone in your hand is
00:58:35a great power. You and the
00:58:38whole world realized this
00:58:41long ago. But on the social
00:58:45media platforms
00:58:48inside your mobile, do you see
00:58:51what you want to
00:58:53see, or are you
00:58:57actually shown what foreign
00:59:01companies sitting outside India
00:59:04decide? That is,
00:59:07your phone, your data,
00:59:11and the social media apps
00:59:14are your platform, but
00:59:18what you are seeing on
00:59:21that platform, is it being
00:59:24decided by someone sitting in some
00:59:27corner of the world outside
00:59:31India? This is a
00:59:35very big and deep question.
00:59:38If you are under the misconception
00:59:41that you decide what you want
00:59:45to see,
00:59:47if you are under the misconception
00:59:50that you only want to see
00:59:54what you want to see,
00:59:56then open your eyes. In fact,
01:00:00you follow some
01:00:06see some things, but you are
01:00:10being shown what someone else is
01:00:13deciding. And I am
01:00:16not saying this myself,
01:00:20this has been accepted by those
01:00:24who run these big platforms.
01:00:28See, there was a big
01:00:31protest at Jantar Mantar. And on
01:00:35the 20th, that is, on
01:00:39July 20, when the protesters
01:00:43at Jantar Mantar were moving towards
01:00:46the Parliament, they had reached
01:00:50within 500 meters of the Parliament,
01:00:54and the situation was very
01:00:57bad. At that broken through the police barricades and moved forward, so the police had to lathi-charge to disperse the crowd and protect the Parliament. There was a lathi-charge by the police, in which some innocent students also became targets, but the other protesters or wrong elements among the students pelted stones at the police, beat up the police, and badly injured the police. This story is a two-way story, it is not a one-sided story. But remember and go back in flashback a little, you will understand that on the 20th, on the 20th, 21st, 22nd, all those videos, all those links, all those things were suddenly coming on your mobile phone that were proving that Jantar Mantar?
