He highlighted need to free misguided youth from addiction and integrate their energy positively. During a technical session at Youth Spiritual Summit held in Varanasi on Saturday, Shekhawat said India was moving rapidly towards becoming a developed nation and role of youth in this journey was extremely important.

Pakistan woman deported after Pahalgam attack to get visitor visa: Centre
The Union ministry of home affairs has informed the high court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh that it will grant visitor visa to a deported Pakistani woman, Rakshanda Rashid, 62, who had settled down in Jammu after marrying a local resident 38 years ago. She was deported as part of the punitive measures taken by India against Pakistan in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Her husband is Sheikh Zahoor Ahmed, chairman of the Muslim Front, Jammu. Indian citizen cries as she cant accompany her children who have Pakistan passports as they prepare to leave India after India revoked visas issued to Pakistan citizens at the Attari-Wagah border crossing near Amritsar, India, April 28, 2025.(Representative image/Reuters) Sharing details, advocate Ankur Sharma said, 'The UT government and Government of India had challenged a previous single-judge order wherein it was directed to bring back Rakshanda from Pakistan within 10 days following her deportation. The authorities have now agreed to issue a visitor visa to her.' Rakshanda had applied for the renewal of her long-term visa (LTV), which had expired in January. While the authorities were processing her case, the Pahalgam attack unfolded and she was told to leave for Pakistan after the Centre's decision to deport all Pakistani nationals. A division bench, comprising chief justice Arun Palli and justice Rajnesh Oswal, on Wednesday gave its assent to the authorities concerned for allowing the visitor's visa to the elderly woman. The court, however, said that the arrangement 'shall not constitute a precedent in any manner'. Solicitor General of India, Tushar Mehta, who represented the home ministry, told the division bench that 'after much deliberation and considering the peculiarity of facts… an in-principle decision was taken to grant a visitor visa to the respondent.' He assured the court that the authorities would 'process and accord a visitor visa to her at the earliest'. The division bench observed that thereafter, the woman may pursue her two applications pending with the authorities on acquiring Indian citizenship and the long-term visa. Rakshanda was deported to Pakistan on April 29 and on June 6, the single-judge bench ordered her return to India. She had entered India on February 10, 1990, via a train through Attari on a visitor visa for 14 days to visit Jammu. She continued to stay on owing to the LTV granted by the authorities annually. During her stay, she married the Indian national in Jammu.

Is India's economy ‘dead' as Donald Trump claimed?
On July 30, United States President Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on India, as well as an unspecified 'penalty' for buying military equipment and energy from Russia. A day later, Trump posted on social media that he did not care if India and Russia 'take their dead economies down together'. Asked about Trump's description of India as a 'dead' economy, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi said: 'Yes, he (Trump) is right… Everybody knows this except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. I am glad President Trump has stated a fact… The whole world knows that India is a dead economy and that the BJP has killed it…' Union Minister of Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal pushed back, saying that India had rapidly transformed from being one of the 'fragile five' to the fastest growing major economy in the world in just over a decade. 'We have risen from the 11th largest economy to one of the top five… It is also widely expected that we will become the third largest economy in a few years. Today, international institutions and economists see India as the bright spot in the global economy. India is contributing to almost 16% of the global growth,' Goyal said in a statement to Parliament. 'In the last decade, the government has taken transformative measures to promote India as the manufacturing hub of the world… India's young, skilled and talented workforce is driving innovation and competitiveness of Indian industry. Our exports have steadily increased during the last 11 years,' he said. So, is India's economy 'dead'? While Trump, who seems annoyed with India's hard bargaining in the talks for a trade deal, need not be taken literally, it stands to reason that one absolutely necessary attribute of a dead economy must be an absence of economic growth. The Table alongside contains data for gross domestic product (GDP) from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a selection of countries over the past 30 years from 1995. They have been selected in the context of Trump's comments, and the recent trade pacts signed between his administration and countries such as Pakistan, the UK, and the EU (of which Germany is the biggest economy). Japan has been included because it is one of the world's biggest economies. The data throw up a picture that is obviously contrary to Trump's contention that India, or even Russia, are 'dead' economies. Column 3 shows the number of times the GDP of each country has grown over the past 30 years. The top three countries are China, India, and Russia in that order. While the US has now become four times its 1995 size, its closest trade partners like the United Kingdom have grown by less than 3 times, and Germany has failed to even double its economy. Japan's GDP in 2025 is lower than what it was in 1995, which would, by this metric, qualify it to be not just a 'dead' but perhaps a decaying economy. In contrast, India's economy is today almost 12 times its size in 1995. There is another way to look at these numbers: how did these economies grow relative to the US? Columns 4 and 5 show there are only three economies that have grown in size relative to the US: China, India, and Russia. India was less than 5% the size of the US economy in 1995, but in 2025 it is almost 14%. By contrast, all of America's friends and trading partners have shrunk in size relative to the US. Do the above numbers mean India's economy has no problems? While India is by no means a 'dead' economy — far from it — it does have several ailments. While India's overall GDP has grown, its growth rate has lost a step since 2011-12, and failed to replicate the spurt of fast growth — averaging 8%-9% — that was witnessed before the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-09. Since 2014, India's growth rate has hovered around 6%. India also has not achieved the pace of growth that China did during its own journey. In 2014, India's GDP was $2.1 trillion; 11 years later, at the end of the ongoing financial year, it is projected to reach $4.1 trillion, according to the IMF. By comparison, China's GDP raced from $1.9 trillion to $4.6 trillion in just four years, from 2004 to 2008. In terms of trade — which is the context of Trump's comments — India's share is just 1.8% of total global exports of goods, and just 4.5% of total global exports of services. One sign of weakness in the economy is the fact that there are many sectors that India wants to protect when it comes to international trade. India's farm economy is plagued with distress, with the bulk of the farmers living at subsistence levels. The reason why the bulk of India's population is still engaged in the rural and farm sectors is the failure to boost manufacturing. Official data show that since 2019-20, manufacturing has registered a slower growth rate (CAGR of 4.04%) than even agriculture and allied activities (4.72%). Further, despite overall GDP growth, the quality of growth and its distribution is acutely skewed, leading to widening inequalities and persistently high poverty. Twenty-four per cent of the population is below the World Bank poverty line for India. In 2011-12, when India was a poorer country and its poverty line was the same as the abject poverty line, 27% of India qualified as poor. Data on inequality also show an alarming rise. And on human development metrics such as health and education, the situation is concerning. A stark skills mismatch means that unemployment in India rises to very high levels with rising educational attainment. And female participation in the economy is among the lowest in the world — even when it is rising, the quality of work is of the poorest quality with low and stagnant wages.

Shah to visit Assam on Aug 29, join land protection drive & unveil new Raj Bhavan
1 2 Guwahati: Ahead of the assembly election early next year, Union home minister Amit Shah will join the state in its drive to protect its lands from encroachers here on Aug 29. Shah, who is also the cooperation minister, will address the panchayat members from NDA on the state govt's plan to form cooperatives in every panchayat. These cooperatives will use the vacant govt land on lease for cultivation and farming so that no encroachment on any vacant govt land can take place. Large swathes of forest lands in the state, illegally occupied by Bangladesh-origin Muslim people, are being cleared by the state govt. CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, while addressing a press conference here on Friday, said, "The Union home minister will first inaugurate the newly constructed Raj Bhavan on Aug 29, which I think will be the best Raj Bhavan in the country. Thereafter, he will address a convention of the newly elected panchayat members of BJP and its ally Asom Gana Parishad." He further said the state govt is planning to form cooperative societies in every panchayat. "The responsibility of the cooperative societies will be to use the vacant govt land for agriculture, farming, or dairy. We want to inspire the panchayat members to use the vacant govt land for agriculture so that no encroachment can take place," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indian NRIs Are Getting Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension On Retirement.
