00:03:19learn and face new challenges
00:03:22will move forward, the students got the mantra to make decisions
00:03:25in the interest of the country, and there was also a call
00:03:28to make research and technology the basis of India's self-reliance,
00:03:32from chips to ships, from space to artificial
00:03:36intelligence, the Prime Minister placed a new horizon of opportunities
00:03:39before the youth, so
00:03:41when important news watch the message of the youth to that new generation that emerged
00:03:45from IIT Delhi, this special report by our correspondent
00:03:48Nishant Saurabh,
00:03:51you must be thinking that it was just yesterday,
00:03:55when the orientation happened
00:03:59and now
00:04:30happy to say that
00:04:37and if we go to vintage, I also remember the
00:04:41occasion was the 57th convocation ceremony
00:04:44of IIT Delhi, coincidentally all the selected students
00:04:48who were given medals by the Prime Minister were boys, seeing the absence
00:04:52of girls in the top, the Prime Minister encouraged the girl students
00:04:55in his own style, many students
00:04:58for their achievements
00:05:01also received medals.
00:05:05I congratulate all of you
00:05:09has already set an example very much for this. But it would have been better if there were
00:05:13one or two daughters. Sorry,
00:05:15why should there have been
00:05:19one or two, there should have been more.
00:05:23The Prime Minister urged more than 3000 graduates
00:05:27and 587 research scholars from various categories
00:05:31to face challenges, make decisions in the national interest
00:05:34and adopt technology with changing times.
00:05:38When any challenge seems
00:05:41very big, don't be scared
00:05:45of it,
00:05:48divide it into small parts.
00:05:51You have seen it yourself,
00:05:54how in the lab a problem used
00:05:58to seem like a dead end, it used to take
00:06:01hours or days to find a solution
00:06:05in simulation,
00:06:08but
00:06:10then you solved the problem and
00:06:14also brought something new. Similarly, in
00:06:18life also,
00:06:21difficulties will
00:06:24come,
00:06:26but the nature of difficulties
00:06:30is that they do not come alone, when
00:06:34difficulty comes, it brings
00:06:38opportunities with it. The Prime Minister
00:06:40dedicated the AI-powered supercomputing facility
00:06:44Param Pragya established at the Sonipat
00:06:47campus of IIT Delhi to the nation. He said
00:06:51that the government is promoting the research
00:06:54sector in the country. The National
00:06:57Research Foundation has also been established so that
00:07:01science and research in the country
00:07:04can get new strength. A funding arrangement
00:07:08of up to one lakh crore rupees is being
00:07:11made in the research sector. The Prime Minister expressed
00:07:15satisfaction over India's growing startups in semiconductor
00:07:18production and packaging units. He said that the extent
00:07:22of self-reliance in India is now such that
00:07:25everything from chips to ships is being manufactured
00:07:30with Nishant Saurabh, DD
00:07:33News.
00:07:37So today we will have a special discussion on this
00:07:40youth mantra of the Prime Minister. What are its meanings and
00:07:44how have the youth taken this mantra? We will discuss
00:07:47this whole topic and today this is the topic of our
00:07:51special discussion. Today's special is, PM Modi's
00:07:53message, new generation, new India,
00:07:57PM Modi's message, new generation, new India, is our special
00:08:01today and we will discuss it. We have special guests
00:08:04with us, we will take this discussion forward with them.
00:08:07PM Modi's message, new generation, new India,
00:08:10and let me introduce you to our guests. We have
00:08:14Professor Vivek, who is the Deputy Director of Strategy
00:08:17and Planning from IIT Delhi.
00:08:20Professor Vivek, welcome to our show. Thank you
00:08:24for joining us. Along with him, Amarpreet Singh, who is
00:08:27the Perfect 10 Gold Medal Winner at IIT Delhi,
00:08:31is also with us. Welcome, Amarpreet,
00:08:34and Romita Ghosh, who is the CEO of Ishrak
00:08:38Health Tech Private Limited, is also with us.
00:08:41So she has a startup
00:08:44which is, so to speak, climbing
00:08:47to new heights of success. So the youth are also
00:08:51with us, and Professor Vivek, who guides them,
00:08:55is also with us. Professor Vivek, if
00:08:58we come to you, before that,
00:09:02we would like to go to the youth and understand
00:09:06from them, especially first of all, I would like to
00:09:10ask Amarpreet, today Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in your campus, now, the way you
00:09:14interacted, what takeaways did you
00:09:17get from the Prime Minister's speech? He specifically said that
00:09:21just getting a medal, because you are a medallist,
00:09:24just getting a medal, getting a degree,
00:09:28this is not the only test of life, or this is not what IIT gives you,
00:09:31it also gives you many special things. How did you take
00:09:35these ideas, how would you assess the Prime Minister's speech?
00:09:39Yes. Hello.
00:09:43First of all, I consider myself very, very lucky
00:09:46to have received this medal from
00:09:50Prime Minister Modi,
00:09:53and not just receiving a medal
00:09:57from the Prime Minister, but also my association with
00:10:01IIT Delhi, I consider myself very lucky for that.
00:10:04And as you asked the question, how did we
00:10:08take the Prime Minister's speech today? So
00:10:12some of the things that
00:10:14I think are very important, one of which he talked
00:10:18about research, just as we see now that
00:10:22research in many European countries is at a
00:10:26different level, but in our country also,
00:10:29a lot of focus is being given to it, but the way
00:10:33he has announced a good grant for it, and
00:10:37also he has emphasized that
00:10:39not only the government, but the PM himself
00:10:43is interested that the youth should move in this direction
00:10:47and bring something new in research, lead the country
00:10:50and also bring something new in research on
00:10:54a global platform, our own individual
00:10:58innovation of our country should be there, we should
00:11:01not rely on the innovations of other countries
00:11:05or whatever, and he also said another
00:11:09very good thing that for example, the era
00:11:12we are living in, whatever investment we
00:11:16are making now, its result will start
00:11:20showing in the next 30-35 years,
00:11:23what will be its result on our next generation,
00:11:27so this is very directly related to
00:11:30our goal of a developed India, so
00:11:34these are some things that I understood directly
00:11:37from his speech, otherwise he connected
00:11:40with the youth in a very good way, listening to his
00:11:44speech, it didn't feel at all like we were listening
00:11:48to the Prime Minister, it felt like we were talking
00:11:52to our senior, and it was a very inspiring
00:11:55speech, so I am fortunate that
00:11:58I was part of this moment. Yes, it was an inspiring
00:12:02speech and it was a special thing that he connected
00:12:06directly with you. This is a unique style of the Prime
00:12:10Minister and that is why he connects directly.
00:12:13If I ask Romita Ghosh to explain this, because
00:12:17the Prime Minister said that whenever you do something,
00:12:21keep in mind what its impact will be on the country,
00:12:25or whether it is in the interest of the
00:12:27country. And today, when we see that all
00:12:31the new sectors, whether we talk about AI,
00:12:35or space, or semiconductors, then as a startup
00:12:38founder, you see India's next big
00:12:42leap in this. How would you assess
00:12:45this? Absolutely,
00:12:48hello, my name is Romita, I
00:12:52see that there is a lot of passion
00:12:55and energy among the youth, but it is also
00:12:58very important that we get the right guidance, the right
00:13:01coaching, and what you are saying is that there is
00:13:05a wave of AI right now, if we can
00:13:08connect with our purpose and that purpose is connected
00:13:12with nation building and we solve it,
00:13:15as an entrepreneur, as a woman entrepreneur, and it is
00:13:18very important for GDP that for a developed India,
00:13:22we women contribute,
00:13:25because that is one lever, a very
00:13:29important lever, which is a little less right
00:13:32now and which will take us very
00:13:36far, so I feel that we should get
00:13:39proper mentoring, coaching and the investment that
00:13:43has been announced in R&D, that investment should actually
00:13:46come to us and we should connect with our
00:13:50purpose, which by default, because India's value
00:13:54system is such that as women
00:13:57entrepreneurs, what we solve has
00:14:00a component of logic and a component of emotion,
00:14:04emotion which is empathy, which means
00:14:07we solve not for the customer but for society,
00:14:11then for the community, and during this, our
00:14:15family, our society moves forward, so this
00:14:18will automatically become our contribution to nation building,
00:14:21so eventually what will happen
00:14:25is that our system is very strong, along with this,
00:14:28if we have technology, R&D investment, patient
00:14:32capital, such investment that can wait,
00:14:35not that investors expect returns from us in two
00:14:39to three years, but we are given seven to
00:14:42ten years, then you see, in healthcare,
00:14:45pharma, sustainability, climate justice, food and
00:14:48agriculture, we will go very far, so far
00:14:52that I will be very
00:14:55India was a great country, it is and
00:14:58will remain, but to be a successful India, we
00:15:01have a very good foundation, what is needed
00:15:04is support and your encouragement. Well,
00:15:08our youth are setting new standards
00:15:11and the Prime Minister also said that in the coming
00:15:1530-35 years, our youth will perform
00:15:18in such a way that the world will probably see
00:15:22it and this change will be astounding for everyone,
00:15:26but we all have faith in you all, in
00:15:30each other. Professor Vivek, the Prime Minister said
00:15:33that in the coming 20-30 years, no
00:15:36one probably knows how fast the world will change
00:15:40or how many uncertainties there will be. So
00:15:45like to ask you how you are preparing the
00:15:49students at IIT for the coming years, for
00:15:52the struggles of life, because you are already excelling
00:15:56in your academics, you are already preparing your children.
00:16:00Hello Nikhil ji, so before answering
00:16:04your question, I would like to reiterate
00:16:07one thing of Amarpreet that the Prime Minister's
00:16:11speech was very energetic and he has his
00:16:14own special style with which he connects with
00:16:18the students, he was also the chief guest of our convocation
00:16:22in 2020, he had joined online due to
00:16:25Covid, and I saw again today that he
00:16:29connects with the students in his unique style and
00:16:33the convocation hall was filled with applause throughout
00:16:37his half an hour speech. Now coming to your
00:16:40question, when we talk about education, the changes
00:16:44that are happening outside, 20 or 30 more changes
00:16:48will happen in the coming 20 or 30 years,
00:16:51and in that, the kind of education you give will
00:16:55also need changes, and IIT has already
00:16:58started taking many steps in that direction,
00:17:02for example, in the courses of the first year,
00:17:06courses on AI, sustainability, innovation have already
00:17:09been added. Last
00:17:14reviewed the curriculum, so these courses
00:17:17have been added. And earlier,
00:17:21people perhaps used to prepare for jobs, but
00:17:25now the whole environment has changed. The aspirations
00:17:29of the students are also changing. Now they do
00:17:32not just look for jobs, as Ronita said,
00:17:35they have very large aspirations,
00:17:39they look at startups and so on, so
00:17:42to promote that, we have taken many steps
00:17:46here at IIT, through courses, through learning,
00:17:49through industry connect. Yes, yes,
00:17:53yes, certainly, the Prime
00:17:56from chip to ship, and
00:20:44movement in Jharkhand. The Satyagraha, which
00:20:47has been going on for 15 days, even amidst
00:20:51empty stomachs and breaking hopes, the students' morale
00:20:54has not broken. The anger of the students
00:20:58regarding the examination system in Jharkhand has now
00:21:02moved beyond protests and is becoming an open challenge
00:21:05for the government. The students are adamant on their
00:21:08demands to cancel the suspicious examinations, investigate the irregularities
00:21:12and take action against those responsible. But the
00:21:16government is still on the path of talks and suggestions
00:21:19instead of making decisions. Now, there is a preparation
00:21:23to gherao the assembly on August 10. This means that the students'
00:21:26Satyagraha is now taking the form of political pressure.
00:21:29Watch our special report
00:21:33on this entire story related to examinations, transparency
00:21:37and students' rights in Jharkhand. The anger of
00:21:40students in Jharkhand is no longer limited
00:21:44to protests. This anger has become an open
00:21:47challenge against the system that has
00:22:11turned examinations not into a measure of hard work,
00:22:15but a den of conspiracy. Ranchi's
00:22:18but it is continuously shying away from taking
00:22:21a decision, and this is the claim of
00:22:25the students sitting on
00:22:26the dharna.
00:22:29We had said that if the government
00:22:33had agreed, there would have been no need to go.
00:22:37Who is going, who is not going,
00:22:40whether two are going, five are going,
00:22:44ten are going, this is not
00:22:47a very important thing. The demand of both is
00:22:51the same, the demand should be fulfilled.
00:22:55Student leader Devendranath Mahto's allegation is clear,
00:22:58the government is deliberately delaying, and now
00:23:01it is compelled to believe this allegation,
00:23:05because the students have met twice in
00:23:08two days, but instead of taking a decisive
00:23:12decision, the government is waiting to talk
00:23:14to other student groups and concerned stakeholders.
00:23:18This delegation will continue to meet various student
00:23:22groups, stakeholders. Today, for example,
00:23:25we met a student group, there are NSUI
00:23:28people, JCM people, ACS people, we will
00:23:32meet all of them, besides that, we are
00:23:35issuing an email ID. The three main demands
00:23:39of the students doing Satyagraha are to immediately
00:23:43cancel suspicious examinations like 14th JPSC preliminary
00:23:46examination and JSSC CGL and conduct
00:23:50them again. There should be a CBI
00:23:53inquiry into the irregularities in the examination, and
00:23:56the third demand is
00:24:00that strict action should be taken against
00:24:04the TDPL company that conducted the examination. But the
00:24:08Soren government is only issuing email IDs instead
00:24:12of taking decisions. In such a situation,
00:24:15the question arises whether the Jharkhand government has
00:24:19found a new way to avoid its responsibility.
00:24:23This attitude of the Soren government is further
00:24:26fueling the anger of the students, and now
00:24:30these Satyagrahis are preparing to gherao
00:24:33the assembly on August 10. The residence of the honorable Chief Minister is
00:24:37only 3 kilometers away from here, but the
00:24:41honorable Chief Minister is not able to come
00:24:45and see the children from 3 kilometers,
00:24:48and the delegation formed by the government
00:24:52is more engaged in dividing the students
00:24:55than listening to their problems, because the students
00:24:58have been struggling continuously for 15 days and
00:25:01now they have come into a decisive battle,
00:25:05on the 10th, on August 10,
00:25:09the students have sounded the bugle
00:25:12to gherao the assembly by JPSSE, JSSC
00:25:15Reform Manch. This delegation of the Soren government is trying
00:25:50to close all the windows of solution
00:25:53and convert the voice of hungry students into
00:25:57just feedback. In such a situation, the students
00:26:01are preparing to take their voice to the
00:26:04assembly. The Jharkhand government is waiting for
00:26:08the opinion of other student groups, but
00:26:11when the biggest student group is
00:26:15against the Hemant Soren government, the
00:26:18students clearly say that transparency in the
00:26:21examination system is not a gift, but their
00:26:25right. When the government itself refuses to
00:26:29protect this right, then the students' Satyagraha
00:26:32is not just a protest, it becomes a moral
00:26:36rebellion against the system. In such
00:26:40a situation, the Soren government will have
00:26:43to take concrete steps in time. For the
00:26:47last 15 days, their indefinite
00:26:50strike is continuously going on, but the
00:26:54government has tried to break the deadlock and
00:26:58now they hope that some way will be
00:27:01found soon, and if no way is found,
00:27:05then they are firm on their program of
00:27:09marching to the assembly on the 10th and
00:27:12they will continue the movement in the same
00:27:16way, in which some more students will also
00:27:20join this indefinite hunger strike.
00:27:23With my colleague Vikas, I am Diwakar
00:27:26Kumar, Doordarshan News, Ranchi.
00:27:30And a public interest litigation has
00:27:33been filed in the Supreme Court regarding alleged irregularities
00:27:37in the Jharkhand Public Service Commission's Combined
00:27:40Civil Services Examination 2025.
00:27:43This petition filed by social activist Harisharan
00:27:49investigation into the irregularities
00:27:51in the examination process.
00:27:56The petition requests the Supreme Court to
00:28:00conduct a CBI inquiry into this matter. Alternatively,
00:28:27it has also been demanded to constitute an independent
00:28:30committee headed by a retired Supreme Court
00:28:33judge or a retired Chief Justice of
00:28:37a High Court from outside Jharkhand.
00:28:40It has been requested
00:28:42that experts in forensic
00:28:45science, information technology, cybersecurity, OMR
00:28:49evaluation and public
00:28:54administration should be included in the committee.
00:28:58The petitioner has also demanded directions to
00:29:00cancel the preliminary examination held on April
00:29:0319. Along with this, a request has also
00:29:07been made to secure the original OMR
00:29:10sheets, carbon copies,
00:29:13question papers, answer keys, biometric records,
00:29:15CCTV footage and other documents in this
00:29:19petition so that evidence cannot be tampered
00:29:22with.
00:29:27So we will take a break here,
00:29:29and after the break, when we return,
00:29:33we will talk about the politics of Punjab.
00:29:36Why is the Mann government under fire?
00:30:54that the Shiromani Akali Dal draws inspiration from the
00:30:58teachings of Sikh gurus who supported the dignity
00:31:02and equal rights of women.
00:31:06He said that the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, i.e., SGPC,
00:31:11by making arrangements for women's reservation in its assembly.
00:31:15Sukhbir Singh wrote that after a detailed discussion on various pending issues in Parliament,
00:31:19the Shiromani Akali Dal also demands a fair
00:31:22and just delimitation
00:31:26that ensures equal representation for all states.
00:31:29He said that the Shiromani Akali Dal supports the proposal presented by the Government of India in Parliament
00:31:33which talks about a uniform
00:31:3750 percent increase in the seats
00:31:40of all states. Sukhbir Singh Badal said that the party insists
00:31:44that the work of reservation and delimitation for women
00:31:47should be done immediately. Meanwhile,
00:31:51Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has welcomed
00:31:55the stand of the Shiromani Akali Dal regarding women's reservation and
00:31:58fair delimitation. The Union Minister posted on social media platform X
00:32:02that I wholeheartedly welcome this extremely important decision
00:32:06taken by the Shiromani Akali Dal following the example of the Shiromani
00:32:10Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. We need to come
00:32:15and ensure a fair and equal delimitation
00:32:19so that they get equal representation.
00:32:22With the rumblings
00:32:24of the assembly elections,
00:32:27the political atmosphere in Punjab
00:32:31has heated up. The BJP is accusing the Mann government, which has been hit by one
00:32:34allegation after another, of administrative failure.
00:32:38The BJP has alleged that
00:32:41under the leadership of CM Bhagwant Mann, the Punjab government
00:32:45is continuously misusing the government machinery.
00:32:48The BJP alleges that due to extortion, paper leaks, recovery, and
00:32:52the height of corruption in the state, an atmosphere
00:32:55of fear prevails. The BJP says that Mann tax
00:32:59is in force in Punjab, which is emptying the treasury
00:33:02of Punjab and filling the treasury of the Aam Aadmi Party. Meanwhile,
00:33:06the BJP also attacked the Mann government over
00:33:09the increasing grip of drugs.
00:33:13Police security
00:33:15is being used for the oppression of the public instead
00:33:19of their protection. In all the movements that are going on, whether it is the movement
00:33:22of sanitation workers, whether
00:33:25it is the movement against recruitment scam, whether
00:33:28it is the farmers' movement, in every movement,
00:33:32the police,
00:33:36instead of listening to the protestors,
00:33:39instead of understanding
00:33:40them, are crushing
00:33:45the movement and the peaceful protestors.
00:33:49An undeclared censorship
00:33:52has been imposed in Punjab.
00:33:54What
00:33:58the newspaper will write,
00:34:01what it will print, what the TV
00:34:03will show, what it will not
00:34:06show,
00:34:08this is decided by
00:34:12Bhagwant Mann's office. The assets
00:34:16of Punjab
00:34:17are being licked
00:34:20up. Papers are being leaked,
00:34:24students are scared, law and
00:34:27order has collapsed, extortion,
00:34:30recovery
00:34:32and torture
00:34:35centers,
00:34:36the whole of Punjab is
00:34:39in an atmosphere of fear,
00:34:43and we will stop here for a moment. So keep watching News

00:35:32of the opposition, to discern

00:37:08That is Science
00:37:54The BJP is running the Samrasta Sankalp campaign
00:37:58across the country. This campaign started on the day of Guru Purnima
00:38:01and will continue till February. In this, many other programs,
00:38:05including Kalash Yatra, are being organized
00:38:09across the country from district level to village level. Our senior
00:38:13correspondent Shailendra Mishra has discussed
00:38:16the outline of the Samrasta Sankalp campaign on the occasion of the 650th birth anniversary
00:38:19of Sant Ravidas ji with the national
00:38:23convener of the Samrasta Sankalp campaign and national president
00:38:26of the Scheduled Caste Morcha, Lal Singh.
00:38:29The
00:38:32Bharatiya Janata Party is running
00:38:35the Samrasta Sankalp campaign. This campaign started
00:38:38on the occasion of Guru Purnima, and how is it progressing?
00:38:42What is the plan of the Bharatiya Janata Party?
00:38:46To discuss this, we have with us the National President
00:38:49of BJP's Scheduled Caste Morcha, Lal Singh ji. Welcome
00:38:53sir. This campaign, we saw that it started
00:38:57on Guru Purnima. All the big leaders of BJP went to Varanasi.
00:39:00How much progress has been made since then, and what else
00:39:04has been included in the campaign? Respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi
00:39:07ji and the leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party
00:39:11have decided that Saint Shiromani
00:39:14Ravidas, who talked about social harmony,
00:39:17human welfare,
00:39:19and Begampura,
00:39:22meaning a place where there is no fear, no Jizya tax.
00:39:26Such a Begampura where there is justice,
00:39:30social respect, such a saint Guru
00:39:33Ravidas who said, "I wish for a kingdom where everyone gets food, and all
00:39:37the small ones are happy." All are made of the same
00:39:40clay, meaning all are equal children
00:39:44of God. Such a saint Ravidas ji, whose
00:39:47disciples were Meera Bai and Jhali Rani. The national leadership
00:39:51of the Bharatiya Janata Party has decided to celebrate the 650th
00:39:54birth anniversary of Sant Ravidas ji not for one day, not for two days,
00:39:58not for five days, but for seven months continuously across the country.
00:40:01Because if you look at the connection of Sant Ravidas, it has been with the entire country,
00:40:05but if you look more, it has been with Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. So is there more focus on those states?
00:40:09I think I am saying one thing again,
00:40:12the 685th birth anniversary of Sant Ravidas ji
00:40:16has come, and no one knew that there
00:40:19would be elections. BJP is running a big campaign
00:40:23which will run till February, meaning till February next year.
00:40:26In that, all the small programs will be added,
00:40:30and the objective is that the youth generation should know
00:40:34about the education and teachings of Sant Ravidas,
00:40:37and understand the great saint tradition
00:40:41in Indian culture well. This is one objective. We
00:40:45were talking about Lal Singaria, who is the National President
00:40:49of BJP's Scheduled Caste Morcha. Shailendra Mishra was giving detailed information
00:40:53about this campaign. DD News,
00:40:55Delhi. The 11th
00:40:59BRICS Culture Ministers' meeting was held in Bhopal on Saturday.
00:41:02Representatives from 14 countries participated in this meeting. The Bhopal Declaration
00:41:06which gives a new direction to cultural cooperation was adopted in the meeting.
00:41:09The declaration emphasizes increasing cooperation on many
00:41:13important issues such as cultural and creative industries, traditional
00:41:16knowledge, preservation of cultural heritage and the rights of creators
00:41:20in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
00:41:24In this regard, India has also announced
00:41:27a pilot initiative for a voluntary artist
00:41:31registry. Watch this
00:41:33report.
00:41:36With the 11th meeting of BRICS Culture Ministers in Bhopal,
00:41:40the first phase of India's BRICS culture track
00:41:44under its presidency was completed. Three meetings of the Culture Working
00:41:48Groups were held to promote cooperation in the field of culture.
00:41:51The first meeting was held virtually
00:41:55on April 29 and 30, while the second meeting
00:41:58was held in Varanasi on June 4 and 5, and the third
00:42:02meeting was held in Bhopal on August 5 and 6. In the ministerial meeting
00:42:06held on Saturday, along with the 10 member countries of BRICS, including four partner
00:42:40countries, the cooperation between them should be sustainable,
00:42:43independent, and easy. The biggest outcome of the meeting
00:42:47was the Bhopal Declaration, which emphasized strengthening
00:42:52of cultural heritage along with
00:42:56promoting creative industries. The declaration also emphasized
00:42:59the preservation of traditional knowledge and cultural expressions,
00:43:03cooperation between museums and archives, and
00:43:06the digitization of cultural property.
00:43:10At the same time, with the increasing use of AI,
00:43:13the protection of creators' rights was considered important.
00:43:17The need for transparency in the use of copyrighted
00:43:20works in AI systems and fair remuneration for artists
00:43:24was emphasized. The main objective of the Bhopal
00:43:27Declaration was to develop an institutional framework
00:43:30for cultural cooperation, to strengthen it,
00:43:34and along with that, we have created
00:43:38a common roadmap for a wide
00:43:42range of contemporary and traditional areas
00:43:45of culture and our heritage.
00:43:48Under this culture track, India announced
00:43:52a pilot initiative for a voluntary artist registry. Its objective
00:43:56is to promote cultural exchange, network, and
00:43:59new opportunities in BRICS countries.
00:44:02Our past of culture has been
00:44:06a golden chapter. Our sentiment is of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.
00:44:11On the strength of that sentiment of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,
00:44:14the good things of culture, live and let live,
00:44:18may all be happy, the Vedic saying
00:44:22that was recited, in fact, today this
00:44:25city has become a reality. BRICS countries
00:44:29have taken steps to connect culture with the rights
00:44:32of artists in the age of creative economy, digital technology,
00:44:36and AI, not limiting it to the preservation
00:44:40of heritage. India has achieved a great
00:44:43success by building consensus on the topics it presented
00:44:47in the working group meeting. These topics will prove beneficial
00:44:51not only for India but also for BRICS member countries
00:44:55in the coming time. At the same time, they will also
00:44:58strengthen India's relations with all BRICS countries,
00:45:02especially in terms of culture and heritage. With cameraman Gaurav
00:45:06Nirukta, Aditya Srivastava, DD News, Bhopal.
00:47:56Amidst the delay in the Tejas Mark One Alpha engine, the indigenous
00:47:59fighter aircraft program is at a crucial
00:48:02juncture, and the future of aerial warfare is being shaped
00:48:08under the Alpha S CATS program. As
00:48:11the nature of warfare is changing, India's focus is now shifting
00:48:15to autonomy, stability, and next-generation combat
00:48:18systems. Watch the full analysis this Saturday evening
00:48:22at 7 PM only on DD News.
00:48:24Welcome
00:48:28back after the break. The government has clarified
00:48:31the situation regarding charges on UPI.
00:48:35No transaction charges
00:48:37will be levied on UPI users,
00:48:40and all payments and transactions between person-to-person
00:48:44(P2P) will remain
00:48:47completely free. Most merchant
00:48:51transactions will also remain free of charge.
00:48:54However, if needed in the future, MDR
00:48:57(Merchant Discount Rate) may be applied to select merchant transactions,
00:49:01but that will be in the future. For this, a fixed
00:49:05transaction limit will be set, and the MDR rate will be kept
00:49:08very nominal, which will be much lower
00:49:12than the MDR charged on debit or credit cards. This means
00:49:15that a blanket MDR will not be applied to UPI.
00:49:19The government's objective is to keep UPI a strong
00:49:22medium for financial inclusion and to ensure its long-term
00:49:26stability. Along with this, emphasis is also being laid on
00:49:30enhancing the technical upgrade of UPI and its ability to deal
00:49:33with emerging risks. Under this, a proposal
00:49:37has been made to amend Section 10A
00:49:41of the Payment and Settlement Systems
00:49:44Act 2007 in the Taxation
00:49:48and Other Laws Amendment Bill 2026. If it becomes necessary
00:49:51to implement MDR after the bill is passed by Parliament,
00:49:54the decision will be taken by the UPI and
00:49:57Services Steering Committee chaired by NPCI. The government's clear
00:50:03free for users, and most merchant
00:50:06transactions will also continue to be free of charge.
00:50:09And
00:50:13now a very important news will be shown to you
00:50:17through a video message or video graphics. We have come
00:50:21to the end of News Night. On E-20, amidst
00:50:24many claims and rumors, oil companies have issued a statement.
00:50:27After investigation and testing, oil companies have completely
00:50:31refuted all those rumors and claims
00:50:34that E-20 petrol contained moisture and chloride
00:50:38at fatal levels. It was claimed that
00:50:4250 parts per million
00:50:45of chloride was found in E-20. It was claimed that up to
00:50:49500 parts per million of chloride was found, but in the investigation,
00:50:52the level of chloride was found to be only
00:50:55between zero and three parts per million. So let's understand
00:50:59how E-20 was found to be completely safe
00:51:02in testing, refuting the rumors. So watch
00:51:06this video graphics
00:51:13today is not just a fuel blend, but an important step
00:51:17towards India's energy security, farmers' income, and clean energy.
00:51:21Many claims and questions also arise regarding ethanol blending.
00:51:2520% ethanol and 80% petrol.
00:51:28Ethanol is a biofuel that can be produced from sugarcane,
00:51:32corn, and other agricultural sources. This means that instead of a part
00:51:36of fossil fuel in petrol, domestically produced
00:51:40renewable fuel is used. Its objective for India
00:51:44is clear: to reduce dependence on oil imports and increase
00:51:47domestic options for the country's energy needs.
00:51:51Why is ethanol a good fuel? Why is ethanol considered
00:51:55a good fuel? The first reason is that it is renewable.
00:51:58Unlike petrol, which comes from limited fossil fuels,
00:52:01ethanol can be made from sugarcane, corn, and other organic
00:52:05sources. And the second big reason is that ethanol
00:52:08has a higher octane number. Mixing it with petrol
00:52:12improves the fuel's anti-knocking capability and can help
00:52:16improve fuel combustion in the engine. The third reason
00:52:19is energy security. Ethanol can be made domestically,
00:52:23which means that by increasing the proportion of ethanol in petrol,
00:52:27India can reduce its dependence on imported crude oil.
00:52:29Also, the fourth reason is its benefit to farmers
00:52:33and the rural economy. Ethanol production from sugarcane,
00:52:36corn, and other feedstocks creates an additional market for farmers
00:52:40and can increase industries and employment opportunities
00:52:43in rural areas. And the fifth reason is import.
00:52:47In such a situation, fluctuations in crude oil prices in the international
00:52:51market, geopolitical tensions, and disruptions in global supply
00:52:54can directly affect India's economy. This is where ethanol
00:52:57blending becomes important. The more domestic ethanol
00:53:01is included in petrol, the less petroleum fuel
00:53:05will be needed. That means less imports, more
00:53:08energy security. Now it comes to farmers. This creates
00:53:12an additional market for agricultural products. At the same time,
00:53:16investments and employment opportunities also increase in industries related
00:53:19to ethanol, plant, storage, transportation, and processing. This means
00:53:23a new ecosystem from farm to fuel. And that too because
00:53:27when we talk about the whole world, if we talk about the world,
00:53:30India is not the only country using ethanol
00:53:34blending. But Brazil is among the world's largest
00:53:37ethanol producers and users. There, ethanol made from sugarcane
00:53:41has been used as transport fuel for a long time.
00:53:45In America, corn-based ethanol is also produced
00:53:48and used on a large scale. In Europe too, the use of renewable
00:53:52fuel in the transport sector is being promoted.
00:53:56The policies of countries are different, but the goal
00:54:00is the same: to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and increase
00:54:05Is E-20 safe for vehicles? We hear this question repeatedly.
00:54:09Let us tell you that the most questions about E-20 have arisen
00:54:13regarding vehicle safety. But the truth is that new vehicles
00:54:17designed and certified for E20 are prepared keeping
00:54:20this mixture in mind. Whereas older vehicles
00:54:24that are not designed for a higher ethanol blend may see
00:54:27a slight decrease in fuel efficiency. One reason for this
00:54:30is that ethanol has less energy per liter
00:54:34compared to petrol, but it is important to understand
00:54:38that this is different from the claim of widespread engine failure.
00:54:41When we look at it from farm to fuel, ethanol is also seen
00:54:45changing India's energy story. The goal of E-20 is not
00:54:48just to mix ethanol in petrol, but to reduce dependence on imports,
00:54:52increase the use of domestic resources, and strengthen India's energy
00:54:55security.
00:55:18At the end of the week, when you have time,
00:55:22this is the opportunity to measure the political temperature,
00:55:26to know
00:55:30the allegations
00:55:31and counter-allegations,
00:55:34to discern truth from lies. Watch
00:55:37Rashtra Manch, a big topic, a big
00:55:40debate,
00:55:44Saturday and Sunday at 5 PM
00:55:47only on TV News.
00:55:49When the
00:55:53country asks, an answer must be given.
00:55:57At 5 PM, the bell of questions rings,
00:56:01and that panchayat is held where issues
00:56:05are not postponed and no answer remains incomplete.
00:56:08You found the question so bad, I'll ask it differently.
00:56:12I'll ask it differently. Here, arguments
00:56:15don't echo, truth does. I, Reema Parashar,
00:56:18bring the truth of the country
00:56:33before you.
00:56:35that twinkles at night, whose light
00:56:38emerged millions of years ago. Do you
00:56:42know? A genius DNA is hidden in
00:56:46your cell. Have you ever thought
00:56:50how your heart beats?
00:56:53Science is not just in books,
00:56:56it's all around you. Know the why
00:57:00behind every what? It will give a new
00:57:04spark to your scientific thinking, opening
00:57:07the door to a new world.
00:57:09That is Science
00:57:16Park. Burnt by invaders.
00:58:17I am Ashwini Kumar Mishra, let's first take a look at the headlines
00:58:21so far.
00:58:24Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with students
00:58:28at the 57th convocation ceremony of IIT Delhi,
00:58:31saying that from semiconductors to drones,
00:58:34from chips to ships, the youth are laying the foundation
00:58:37of a new India. He also dedicated the Param Pragya
00:58:41Supercomputing facility to the nation.
00:58:48Student agitation continues for the 15th day
00:58:52over alleged irregularities in Jharkhand recruitment exams.
00:58:56Talks with the Hemant Soren government remained inconclusive. Warning
00:59:10to gherao the assembly on August 10. The Shiromani Akali Dal has supported
00:59:14the Center's proposal on women's reservation bill and delimitation.
00:59:17Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren welcomed the move, calling
00:59:21solidarity for empowering women
00:59:22the need of the hour.
