Babus change rules to extend CGHS coverage to more members of their 'family'
CGHS has no upper limit (Ayushman-Rs 5 lakh limit and all health insurance have upper limit)
Sep 7-extended it to 'adopted' sisters
Sep 1-to terminally/critically sons & brothers
Can public get this too?

*Meta agrees to report child sexual abuse cases to law enforcement agencies*

Government of India is continuously engaging with social media platforms to curb harmful information.

Online safety of children is a fundamental principle for any social media to operate in India and it is non-negotiable.

Meta has agreed to report child safety related matters to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.

It is a first step towards making the platforms safe for children and much more needs to be done.

Government remains engaged with other platforms to proactively identify and remove such content.

Government shall take action against platforms which do not take proactive steps for safety of children.

In food warning labels debate, companies mount first objections legally. The over $100 billion food and drinks industry files first legal objection to India's warning labels plan for packaged products, asking the court to have regulator FSSAI re-examine thresholds that decide what counts as high in sugar, salt and fat.

Industry argues 80% of products will be classified as high in those nutrients under the current system, hurting India's image https://t.co/aX2P1FDpmq

A can of Fanta sold in London has 63 calories. Buy the same brand in India, and it contains three times as much sugar. The bottle of Fanta soda retailed in India, left, contains artificial dye that is not present in the similarly-branded product sold in Britain.

Boston Consulting Group CEO Christoph Schweizer dives into #AI in first session of #ETWLF #ETWorldLeadersForum

"The real test of deploying AI for a company is how well the IT infrastructure absorbs it & how well teams actually use it. Everything else will work out"

“Reckless use of AI” in setting and translating examination papers, followed by an unexplained six-week delay in cancelling three flawed tests, is at the heart of the UGC-NET controversy that has forced the National Testing Agency to order fresh examinations in English, Commerce and Sociology. NTA however denied that generative AI was used to author the disputed papers.
A second disclosure concerns NTA’s response after the discrepancies surfaced. Education ministry officials and NTA sources said the ministry favoured cancelling the papers and retesting by July-end or the first week of August. NTA, however, did not act on that advice, waiting nearly six weeks and announcing the cancellations only when it released provisional answer keys for 84 of 87 subjects.

#NEETUG2026 #NTA #MoE #June21retest
@NTA and education ministry kept their fingers crossed until the final answer sheets of India's largest entrance exam, NEET-UG, were sealed on Sunday, bringing to a close a high-stakes retest conducted under the shadow of the May 3 paper leak. Organised in 37 days, far short of the four-six months the exercise would ordinarily require, the retest to admissions to under-graduate medical courses passed off without any reported breach or major disruption - a relief to the agency and education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who have come under fire since the scrapping of the exam. NTA has called the retest "a fair chance, a fresh start".
