Delhi CM calls for promotion of cultural diversity
Chairing a meeting, Ms. Gupta said, 'Efforts will be made to explore possibilities for teaching non-Hindi languages to students in Delhi, helping them understand the social and cultural identities of other States.'
In a statement, the Chief Minister's Office said that the meeting's objective was to enrich Delhi's cultural landscape and involve all sections of society in cultural activities.
'Delhi is not merely the Capital, but also a reflection of the country's cultural identity,' Ms. Gupta said. 'We want the art and culture of various States to reach every street and every individual.'
Ms. Gupta instructed the officials to prepare a detailed report on promoting India's diverse languages in the Capital.

India's state refiners pause Russia oil buys as US adds pressure
India's state-owned oil refiners are pulling back from purchases of Russian crude for now, according to people with direct knowledge of the companies' procurement plans, as Washington ratchets up the pressure on New Delhi over the flows with a wave of harsh tariffs. Companies including Indian Oil Corp. , Bharat Petroleum Corp. and Hindustan Petroleum Corp. plan to skip spot purchases of the crude in the upcoming buying cycle, until there's clear government guidance, said the people, who asked not to be identified as they aren't authorized to speak publicly. That will affect buying of the Russia's Urals cargoes for October-loading, they added. The global oil market has zeroed in on India's crude purchasing after President Donald Trump doubled the levy on all Indian exports to the US as a direct punishment for the country's refiners taking Russian crude. The escalation — which hasn't yet been matched by similar action against China, another major buyer — is meant to pressure on Moscow to end the war in Ukraine. The tension has swung futures this week as traders assess the odds of disruption to flows, as well as Moscow's ability to find alternative buyers should Indian refiners opt to take fewer barrels. Brent was little changed near $67 a barrel on Thursday, following a five-day drop. Officially, New Delhi hasn't given any direction to refiners to stop buying Moscow's crude, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government pushing back against Trump's tariffs. Bloomberg earlier reported that refiners had been asked to draw up plans for buying non-Russian crude. An oil ministry spokesman didn't immediately reply to an email seeking comment. Separately, IOC, BPCL and HPCL didn't reply to messages from Bloomberg seeking comment. Beyond term contracts, oil producers and refiners typically deal with purchases in short-run cycles, with cargoes booked about one-and-a-half to two months ahead of loading. That planned-ahead pattern allows users to ensure they have enough on hand to meet their requirements. While overall purchases of October-loading Urals by India's refiners are unlikely to drop to zero, a dip could prompt a rush for other grades, with US, Middle Eastern and African cargoes as alternatives, said traders, who buy and sell across the region. Discussions for October cargoes have not yet started, though traders foresee deeper Russian discounts and more offers to China, which doesn't typically take much of the variety. In late-July, purchases of September-loading Urals concluded with India taking fewer barrels due to pricey offers. Since then, state-owned refiners have issued a slew of tenders, soaking up spot cargoes from other regions. Private processors Reliance Industries Ltd. and Nayara Energy Ltd., meanwhile, have been quiet, with the latter grappling with a steep drop in run rates following sanctions imposed by the European Union. Cargoes of Urals — Russia's benchmark crude grade from the west of the country — for August- and September-loading are likely to be delivered as planned, unless New Delhi advises otherwise, the people said. In recent days, tankers have offloaded some cargoes at Indian ports, albeit with some slight delays. At its peak, India imported more than 2 million barrels a day of Russian oil , up from almost zero purchases before the Ukraine war. 'There would be some operational disruptions for a period, but the crude supply-demand would balance out,' said R. Ramachandran, former director of refineries at Bharat Petroleum. If Russian supplies are more difficult, 'Middle East crudes — with the geographical advantages and a wide range of quality will be a prime substitute, especially from Saudi and Iraq,' he said.

Electoral roll to be used for caste census in Karnataka
The State government has decided to utilise the electoral roll in the State for conducting the social and educational survey (caste census) for 15 days from September 22. The Karnataka State Backward Classes Commission has sought the government's permission for the procedure to be followed for conducting the survey. The Karnataka Cabinet on Thursday approved a method of using electoral rolls in the State for conducting the survey using digital technology. Speaking at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister H.K. Patil said that the survey would be conducted in digital format. The development and supervision of the software for the digital survey would be undertaken by the e-Governance Department. He said that the publicly available electoral roll was used by the H.N. Nagamohan Das Commission for internal reservation for 101 Scheduled Castes in the State for every person aged above six. Similarly, the Backward Classes Commission would adopt the H.N. Nagamohan Das Commission's model and conduct the survey, Mr. Patil said. 50% quota to go Mr. Patil said the Cabinet has decided to do away with the mandatory 50% quota for students of the community in the non-Muslim Minority educational institutions. The colleges and technical educational institutions run by non-Muslim Minority managements would not require to enrol 50% of students from their own community to obtain Minority status. This move was intended to support communities such as Christians, Jains, Sikhs, and Parsis, who were struggling to meet the 50% threshold due to their relatively small population in the State. Among others, the Cabinet has approved ₹171.91 under the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development's (NABARD) Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) for 13 cold storages of the Agriculture Department. It also approved the Karnataka Employees' State Insurance Society as per Employees' State Insurance Corporation guidelines.

YSRCP slams Naidu govt for neglecting weavers, breaking handloom promises
The YSRCP on Thursday accused the NDA-led Andhra Pradesh government of "neglecting" the handloom sector and "abandoning" key pre-poll promises, alleging that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's administration had "betrayed the weaver community and pushed them into distress." YSRCP leaders hit out at Naidu govt on National Handloom Day, accusing it of abandoning weavers and failing to act on key welfare promises made before polls.(CMO Andhra Pradesh-X) YSRCP leaders, including MLC Lella Appi Reddy, Surendra Babu, and Chillapalli Mohan Rao, said the government's inaction had deepened the crisis faced by weavers. This came after Naidu marked National Handloom Day with promises to support weavers and revive the handloom sector. "Naidu and his administration have betrayed weavers by abandoning election promises, leaving the community in crisis," the leaders alleged in a press release. Appi Reddy claimed that under the previous YSRCP government, benefits worth ₹3,700 crore were extended to the handloom sector, including ₹1.2 lakh each to 85,000 weaver families. He accused the NDA coalition of "making hollow and misleading promises". The YSRCP leaders criticised the current government for allegedly failing to implement schemes such as free electricity, GST relief, and health insurance for weavers, even after 14 months in power. Also Read: Chandrababu Naidu backs Hindi amid NEP row: 'Language is not for hating' Surendra Babu claimed that IT Minister Nara Lokesh had promised GST reimbursement, but no proposal had been brought before the GST Council to that effect. He alleged that the government continued to impose the same tax burden on weavers. He also alleged that the promised free electricity scheme remained unimplemented, even six months after an official order was issued. Chillapalli Mohan Rao claimed that the previous YSRCP government had tripled weavers' income and cleared dues worth ₹400 crore owed by the Andhra Pradesh State Handloom Weavers Cooperative Society (APCO). He added that showrooms were also constructed during Jagan Mohan Reddy's tenure, unlike the 'symbolic gestures' from the current administration. The YSRCP demanded immediate fulfillment of promises made to weavers, warning that "continued neglect would deepen the crisis in the sector."
