India supports fair, rule-based global trading system that addresses needs, aspirations of Global South: Om Birla
Brasilia [Brazil], June 5 (ANI): Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Thursday emphasised the need for a fair and rule-based global trading system while addressing the 2nd Working Session of the BRICS Parliamentary Forum in Brasilia, an official release said. As per the Release, LS Speaker Om Birla said, 'India supports a fair and rule-based global trading system--one that adequately addresses the needs and aspirations of the Global South.' He added, 'India views the BRICS Parliamentary Forum as a vital platform, where, through shared efforts and dialogue, we can redefine the contours of economic development. This forum further reinforces our commitment to mutual cooperation, solidarity, and the welfare of our citizens.' He added that 'Despite global challenges, BRICS nations have made inspiring progress in the realm of economic development. India believes that to strengthen this progress further, we must enhance intra-BRICS trade, investment, and financial cooperation.' He also said, 'We welcome the recent expansion of the BRICS grouping. This will make our collaboration more inclusive and impactful.' Birla made these remarks while addressing the 2nd Working Session of the BRICS Parliamentary Forum at Brasilia, Brazil, on the theme 'BRICS Parliamentary Action in Search of New Paths for Economic Development.' The statement noted that Birla highlighted India's economic journey in the last decade. Birla said, 'India's economic journey over the past decade has been remarkable. Despite global uncertainties and domestic challenges, India has consistently outperformed the global growth average. Rising from the 10th largest economy in 2014 to the 4th largest today is a testament to India's robust policies and the strength of its people. From 2014-15 to 2024-25, India's GDP has grown at an average rate of over 7 per cent, making it the fastest-growing major economy in the world.' Birla noted, 'India is not only the world's largest and most vibrant democracy but also a nation with stable governance, strong constitutional institutions, the rule of law, a transparent and accountable tax system, and decisive leadership that has earned the trust of global investors.' He mentioned that 'under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India's unprecedented progress in infrastructure--water, energy, road and rail connectivity, ports, airports, industrial corridors, and logistics hubs - now defines the New India.' Observing that India's greatest strength is its youthful population, he said, 'Over 65 per cent of Indians are under the age of 35. This youthful energy is propelling India forward--be it in manufacturing, digital technology, healthcare, or green energy. Through programs like Skill India, PM Kaushal Vikas Yojana, and the New National Education Policy, India is skilling its youth under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.' He added, 'At a time when many developed nations face ageing populations and labour shortages, India is emerging as the solution--as the Skill Capital of the World. We are not only meeting domestic needs but also supplying skilled human resources to the world. This is India's strength, our responsibility, and our moment.' Noting India's contribution across several fields, Birla underlined that 'Today, India is established as the Pharmacy of the World--one in every three medicines globally comes from India. Additionally, India is a global leader in IT services, has the third-largest startup ecosystem, and is at the forefront in mobile phone manufacturing, digital payments, space technology, and renewable energy.' He also said that, 'In the era of Industry 4.0, technology can be a powerful medium for inclusive and sustainable development. Initiatives like Digital India, Start-up India, and Atmanirbhar Bharat are successful models in this direction. Platforms like Unified Payments Interface (UPI), JAM Trinity, and e-NAM have transformed citizens' lives and serve as inspirational models for BRICS.' Birla also said that, 'India has also undertaken significant reforms in taxation. The recently presented Income-tax Bill, 2025, is a major step towards a transparent and effective tax regime.' The statement also mentioned Birla, who said, 'We are concerned that the representation of developing countries in international institutions remains inadequate. This imbalance hampers global equity and balanced development. Therefore, BRICS countries must collectively make concrete efforts to enhance the participation of the Global South in such institutions.' He added that, 'Global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic have disproportionately affected the Global South. Challenges related to health, food, and energy security have intensified. Without concrete and coordinated action, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will remain difficult.' As per the statement, on the opening day of the BRICS Parliamentary Forum, the Lok Sabha Speaker held a bilateral meeting with the President of the Federal Senate of Brazil, Sen. Davi Alcolumbre. He mentioned that, 'Both countries have been partners on the global stage. Our bilateral relations have developed on the basis of shared democratic values, peace, cooperation, sustainable development, and common objectives.' Noting that in today's era, terrorism is the biggest threat to global peace and stability, Birla said that 'The recent terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, India, in which 26 innocent civilians were brutally killed, has shaken not only India but also the conscience of the entire world.' He also added that, 'Pakistan has failed to take concrete action against the terrorist infrastructure operating from its territory; India exercised its right to respond, to prevent such cross-border attacks in the future, and to defend itself.' On Operation Sindoor, Birla said that 'these steps were measured, non-provocative, proportionate, and responsible. Their sole objective was to destroy terrorist infrastructure and neutralise the capabilities of terrorists.' He said that 'Today's India is firmly committed to a policy of zero tolerance towards all forms of terrorism and gives a strong response to every terrorist attack.' The statement highlighted that on the sidelines of the BRICS Parliamentary Forum, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla also held a bilateral meeting with the President of the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil, Hugo Motta. Birla observed that 'India and Brazil are natural partners. Both countries have, from time to time, provided direction and momentum to their bilateral relations through high-level dialogues.' He added that, 'There is extensive collaboration between the two countries in areas such as defence, technology, space, energy, and culture. The special session organised by the Brazilian Congress in 2022 on the occasion of 75 years of India's independence is a testament to our special friendship.' Birla hoped that 'India and Brazil can jointly promote innovation in emerging areas such as digital transformation, artificial intelligence, health technology, and cybersecurity, and can set an example for the countries of the Global South.'

Middle-class Indians found themselves at heart of nation's progress in these 11 years: Centre
New Delhi [India], June 5 (ANI): The Modi government at the Centre, just days away from turning 11, said people's hopes, needs and aspirations have not just been heard, but also acted upon with purpose, as it highlighted several initiatives taken up by the government. In a report released by the Press Information Bureau Research Unit on Thursday, the government said that, from tax relief leaving more money in people's hands to pension schemes that promise security in old age, the last eleven years have seen a steady and sincere effort to make life easier, fairer, and more dignified for Indians. 'The government has cut through red tape, simplified rules and made everyday systems work better. Be it filing taxes, buying a home, commuting to work or affording medicines, things have become simpler and more accessible. These are not scattered changes but a pattern of reforms that speak to the real concerns of ordinary citizens. What stands out is the consistency,' the report's preamble read. Over the past eleven years, the government said it has gone beyond token measures to make a real difference in the lives of the middle class. From lowering income tax rates to simplifying returns, every move, it said, has been aligned with the core idea of letting citizens keep more of what they earn. 'The approach has been clear. Listen to citizens, simplify the system and deliver on promises,' the report card said. The most recent tax reforms, especially those in the Union Budget 2025-26, are a clear sign that the Government has placed its trust in the middle class as a pillar of national growth. It said the effort has been constant and focused, whether raising the income threshold for zero tax, introducing a simplified tax regime, or making return filing easier than ever. A major change was announced in the Union Budget 2025-26: individuals earning up to Rs 12 lakh annually will now pay no income tax, except on special incomes like capital gains. With the standard deduction of Rs 75,000, even those earning Rs 12.75 lakh will pay no tax. These enhanced tax exemptions led to the government giving up nearly Rs 1 lakh crore in revenue. The government has once again lauded itself for making income tax return filings simple. According to the government, the simplification in ITR filing is reflected in the rise of individual ITR filings, which increased from 3.91 crore in 2013-14 to 9.19 crore in 2024-25, a 135 per cent rise. On the inflation management front, the government boasted that the price rise remained under control under the current administration. 'Things began to change from 2014. Over the next eleven years, inflation came under firm control. From 2015-16 to 2024-25, the average rate fell to just 5 per cent. The difference is visible not only in the numbers but in daily life. Stable prices gave families breathing room,' the report read. The report touched upon reform-oriented initiatives such as Unified Pension Scheme, Smart Cities Mission, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban), expansion in metro network, UDAN scheme, Ayushman Bharat, Jan Aushadhi scheme, Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana, among others.

Want to work abroad? Forget US or UK, Reddit says these countries are easiest for Indians to find jobs
In today's competitive job market, many Indian professionals—both in IT and non-IT sectors—are actively exploring opportunities abroad. While some aim for higher salaries or better work-life balance, others seek global exposure and long-term immigration prospects. A recent Reddit thread, Indian Workplaces, shed light on which countries are relatively easier to migrate to for work and strategies used by those who have successfully secured international roles. The original poster (OP), who works remotely in digital marketing, sought insights from others, asking which countries seemed less difficult to break into, what roles and sectors worked, and which hiring methods were effective, such as direct applications, internal transfers, or referrals. They also asked for helpful tools, sites, and resources others might recommend. This discussion quickly drew in responses from users with diverse backgrounds and personal experiences, offering a raw and realistic picture of what it currently takes to find a job abroad. Internal Transfers: An Effective Route, But Not for Everyone One Reddit user, an analyst at a global bank, highlighted that internal transfers remain one of the most effective ways to move abroad. He explained that working directly with international teams and proving value can lead those teams to request the transfer themselves. However, while effective, another Redditor pointed out that this path is highly dependent on company policy. In their 13 years of experience—first in a US-based bank and now in a content marketing firm—they found that many mid-sized or non-MNC firms don't offer such mobility options. So, while internal transfers may be among the easiest paths, they are far from the most common. Outsourcing Firms: A Declining Gateway Before 2015, Indian outsourcing firms provided a relatively smooth path to international jobs. However, one user noted that this has changed significantly. Due to rising opposition in host countries, these companies are increasingly hiring locals instead of facilitating international relocations. This shift has made it harder for Indian professionals to rely solely on these firms for overseas movement. Gulf and Southeast Asia: Easier Entry Points Several users agreed that Gulf countries, particularly the UAE, and Southeast Asian markets like Malaysia, are more accessible for Indians. One user shared that Malaysia had the simplest visa processing experience, while the US was the most complex due to legal and procedural hurdles. Another added that despite the Gulf region's accessibility, factors like company size and sector still play a role in the ease of migration. Canada: A Promising Yet Competitive Landscape Canada also came up as a popular destination, though it was noted that immigration policies have become stricter in recent times. Still, pursuing higher education in Canada and choosing the right fields of study can significantly improve one's chances. A Reddit user emphasized the benefits that come with Canadian Permanent Residency, such as free healthcare and higher wages. They also pointed out that opportunities extend beyond IT—long-haul trucking, for example, can pay over Rs 70 lakh annually. One user advised not to obsess over the country itself, but rather to focus on aligning one's skills with market demand. They suggested looking at your company's overseas hiring patterns, especially for client-facing roles, and identifying if your profile matches the requirements. Understanding the 'hot' skills in your target geography can be a more fruitful strategy than randomly applying to jobs abroad .
