Assam CM wants politics of polarisation for survival for next 30 years

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma wants a practice of politics of polarisation “between Assamese and Bangladeshis”. In a social media post he said it is essential for survival of indigenous people for the next 30 years. The CM said, “The polarization is not between Hindu and Muslim. The polarisation is between Assamese and Bangladeshis. That is the difference. We don’t fight with Assamese Muslims. We only fight with Bangladeshi Muslims. What is the problem with that? I am legally as well as ethically and politically correct in this matter, he said.

Balaghat which had long suffered from Naxalism is now empowering the next generation through education , IPS Aaditya Mishra, a 2018 Batch Officer of MP Cadre currently posted asSuperintendent of Police, Balaghat has launched a transformative sustainable social initiative “Ekal Suvidha KendraVidyanjali”.The initiative focuses on improving infrastructure in government primary schools located in remote and interior areas by facilitating community and corporate participation.

Recognizing that in formerly Naxal-affected villages,education andschool infrastructure had long taken a backseat due to security threats,fear and logistical challenges.Many government primary schools in interior forest areas had crumbling roofs, broken floors,poor sanitation and little access to electricity or water.

To bridge this developmental gap, the initiative operates on a social adoption model utilising the Vidyanjaliframework.The idea is simple yet unique:invite individuals, professionalsand organizations to adopt government primary schools and support basic renovation work. As per current data, 36 adopters are already associated with the project, covering a substantial number of schools.

The broader objective of the initiative is preventive in nature,not just improving the infrastructure but changing the mindset. By investing in schooling and infrastructure, the initiative seeks to build long-term community resilience, promote developmental outreach and ensure that youth is not diverted or negative and anti-development ideologies do not take place in the future.
What initially began with a modest expectation gradually expanded. In its first phase, 100 schools have been completed, with the broader effort expanding toward nearly 250-280 schools across remote belts.Additionally to ensure financial transparency and accountability, a registered Vidyanjali Society with a dedicated bank account, PAN and DARPAN ID oversees the initiative.
Based on a simple Philoshphy“Jan-Jan ka bhagidar, ab shikshahaitaiyar”.The transformation goes beyond essentials and focuses on holistic development to provide students with world-class facilities and modern pedagogical tools.Structural repairs include fixing leaking roofs, cracked ceilings, damaged floorsand broken boundary walls.Schools are now equipped with secure main gates, proper electricity, fans, lightingand functional doors and windows.Special emphasis is laid on WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene)facilities,renovated,tiled and hygienic toilets, clean drinking water access and modernized kitchen sheds to ensure safe mid-day meal preparation.Classrooms that once had peeling plaster and broken furniture are now painted in bright colors,furnished with modern desks and redesigned as inspiring learning hubs.

Remarkably,the average transformation cost per school stands at approximately₹1.20 lakh,significantly lower than conventional costs.This efficiency is achieved through community participation and shramdaan by Balaghat Police personnel themselves.Additionallyensuring sustainability,theregistered Vidyanjali Society encourages community ownership,supportsand monitors the initiative.It comprises members of civil society and professionals to ensure community representation.

Through this initiative,IPSAaditya Mishra is ensuring that the next generation of Balaghat writes its own development storywith its own pen and ink.

Empanelment of 2008 batch IPS officers to the rank of IG in the Government of India is expected to take place in a month or two.

The recent changes introduced in the UPSC examination are seen as the beginning of a larger transformation. According to reports, the Commission is actively exploring further reforms to align the civil services with the evolving challenges of the modern world. These upcoming changes are expected to make the recruitment process more dynamic, contemporary, and skill-oriented. The focus will likely shift towards assessing analytical thinking, technological awareness, and practical problem-solving abilities rather than purely theoretical knowledge. With governance increasingly intersecting with technology, climate issues, and data-driven policymaking, UPSC aims to ensure that future administrators are equipped to handle complex, real-world problems efficiently and effectively, creating a more adaptive and future-ready bureaucracy.
India has tightened its IT Rules, 2021 to curb misuse of AI‑generated media. The amendments define “synthetically generated information” (SGI) as AI‑created audio, visual, or audiovisual content that mimics reality, while excluding routine edits and filters. Intermediaries and social media platforms must now prevent, label, and swiftly act on illegal or harmful synthetic content such as deepfakes, obscene material, false documents, or explosives‑related data. SGI tools must warn users that misuse could invite criminal penalties, account suspension, or identity disclosure. Platforms are required to label all synthetic content with permanent metadata and unique identifiers and prevent tampering. Significant social media must obtain user declarations when content is synthetic and display clear labels before it is shown. Platforms must also report violations, regularly inform users of rules and penalties, and implement technical safeguards. The move marks India’s strongest push yet against deceptive and harmful deepfakes.

REC Limited, a Maharatna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Power, is set to play a pivotal role at the upcoming India AI Impact Summit and Expo 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. As a leader in power sector financing and digital transformation, REC will host three high-level thematic sessions in collaboration with global partners and showcase cutting-edge technology at its dedicated pavilion.
Driving Global Discourse: Three Strategic Sessions
REC is convening three distinct sessions to address the intersection of artificial intelligence, energy transition, and infrastructure financing:
● Global Mission on AI for Energy (February 16 – 16:30 to 17:25 hrs, L2 Audi I): Partnering with the International Solar Alliance (ISA), this session focuses on building "AI-ready" and "citizen-ready" power systems. It aims to align leadership on high-impact use cases that make clean electricity more affordable and inclusive.
● The AI-Energy-Finance Trifecta (February 17 – 10:30 to 11:25 hrs, Room no 10): In collaboration with the World Bank, REC will examine the rapid expansion of energy-intensive data centers. The discussion will focus on the policy and financing foundations needed to unlock AI-driven energy optimization and resilient, green data-center development in India.
● India Energy Stack (IES) and the AI-Ready Power Sector (February 18 – 11:30 to 12:25, West wing room 4 A): Partnering with FSR Global, this session explores the India Energy Stack as a common, interoperable digital layer for the power sector. The discussion will center on how this digital public infrastructure can lower integration costs and enable a shift from "energy access" to "energy agency" for consumers.
Empowering Consumers: Launch of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Energy Trading A major highlight of the summit will be the launch of a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading program during the India Energy Stack session. This initiative is designed to transform consumers from passive recipients of electricity into active market participants. By leveraging secure, interoperable digital protocols, P2P trading will allow neighbors to buy and sell surplus solar energy directly among themselves, fostering a decentralized energy ecosystem and providing new monetization opportunities for households and small businesses.
A Hub of Innovation: The REC Pavilion
REC Limited will demonstrate its commitment to a digital-first energy landscape at its 140 sq m pavilion located at First Floor, Hall 4 (4F.19). Visitors can explore various AI-driven solutions designed to enhance grid efficiency, improve utility performance, and support India’s transition toward a smarter, greener energy future.
Through these initiatives, REC Limited continues to lead the charge in integrating advanced technology with robust infrastructure to power a sustainable and digitally empowered India.
Advancing the vision of a cleaner and greener India, Housing and Urban Development Corporation Ltd. (HUDCO) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project on sustainable solid waste management was launched on 9th February, 2026 at the National Security Guard (NSG) Campus, Manesar. The Bhumi Pujan ceremony was held in the distinguished presence of Brigu Srinivasan, Director General, NSG, Shri Deepak Kedia, IG, NSG and M Nagaraj, Director (Corporate Planning), HUDCO, along with senior officials from both organizations.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for implementation of the comprehensive and sustainable Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management practices across 1,700-acre NSG campus was signed between HUDCO and NSG on 21st January 2026.
The project has been designed to implement an integrated waste management system at the NSG campus in Manesar. The scope includes door-to-door waste collection from all waste generation points, transportation to a dedicated Material Recovery Facility (MRF), and scientific processing and disposal of collected waste.
The facility has a total processing capacity of 5–7 tonnes per day (TPD). This includes a 2-tonne biogas plant that will process organic waste generated from residential buildings and 52 canteens within the campus. The processed organic waste will be converted into biogas, which will be used to replace LPG consumption for cooking in one of the larger canteens.
The project being implemented by Blue Planet Environmental Solutions India Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, will include dry waste collection from the campus that will be segregated into multiple streams, including plastics, metals, glass, and cardboard, based on their physical characteristics, and will subsequently be sent for recycling. The project aims to enhance overall sanitation across the premises, reduce the carbon footprint associated with waste dumping, and prevent up to 2,000 tonnes of waste from reaching landfills annually.
Shri Brigu Srinivasan, Director General, NSG on the occasion said that Environmental stewardship is an integral part of national security. This Integrated Waste Management Facility demonstrates how defence establishments can lead by example in adopting sustainable, efficient, and future-ready infrastructure.”
Commenting on the project, Krishna Kumar Gaur, Head IR, DRIIV under the O/o Principal Scientific Advisor to GoI said that this Integrated Waste Management Facility reflects our commitment to include technological interventions for sustainable growth.
Sanjay Kulshrestha, CMD, HUDCO, stated that the initiative marks a significant step towards strengthening environmental sustainability and reflects HUDCO’s continued commitment to delivering impactful CSR support to national institutions. He emphasized that such collaborations play a vital role in promoting responsible waste management practices and contributing to long-term ecological well-being.
The project underscores HUDCO’s focus on sustainable urban development and environmental stewardship, while reinforcing NSG’s commitment to maintaining a clean, efficient, and environmentally responsible campus.

People dying after falling in open pit
There are news reports of people dying after falling in open pits left on roads without proper fencing or barricades. People are reported to be dying after falling in manholes left without covers. Children are being infected with HIV when transfusion of infected unscreened blood is being done in government hospitals in remote parts of the country. These are all preventable. Is it not the responsibility of officers to see to it that such things do not happen? When new recruits join the services, the motive should not be self aggrandisement and self promotion laced with hypocrisy, but public service. Only a change in mindset and a spirit of service can change things.

Marks scored in examination when result is withheld
The appellant sought information about the marks scored by him in the examination conducted for the Sub-inspector in Delhi Police, CAPFs and Assistant Sub-inspector in CISF Examination. The information was denied and on query by the CIC, the respondent submitted that it was not declared by the Appellant in his RTI Application that his result was withheld, which is why such a reply was provided to him. The appellant argued that since information related to one of the candidates has been provided, he is also entitled to access the information related to him now since the OA stands disposed of. The appellant submitted that the averred OA infructuous and the interim order that the PIO is relying upon to withhold the information of the candidates in a sealed cover was no longer stipulated to be in operation whilst passing the final order. The averred final order stipulates that all pending MA(s) are also disposed of with another connected OA being described as infructuous and this order significantly predates the date of filing of the RTI Application. Additionally, the PIO has not complied with the averred FAA’s order which was leaning in favor of the Appellant. The CIC directed the PIO to submit a written explanation to show cause as to why action should not be initiated in the matter under Section 20(1) of the RTI Act for failing to provide a proper reply to the RTI Application at the original instance as the queries of different nature i.e distinct from the mere marks and result of the Appellant were left unattended by providing an unwarranted cumulative reply. Further, the PIO was also directed to explain the prima-facie non-compliance of the FAA’s order within 15 days. The PIO was directed to provide a revised reply to the RTI Application incorporating the available information regarding the Appellant’s result and OMR sheet as sought for.
Comments
In many instances, it has been pointed out that the marks scored by an individual should be provided to him/her unless any of the exemption sections of the RTI Act, 2005 can be invoked to deny the information.
