Surat: In a proud moment for the city, two students have secured All India Ranks (AIR) in the top 100 in the NEET 2025 results declared on Saturday. Jenil Bhayani clinched AIR 6, while Maulik Bhalgamia earned AIR 71.
Interestingly, both families had migrated from Saurashtra years ago in search of better opportunities.
Appearing for NEET for the first time, Jenil scored 680 out of 720. He had earlier secured 97.80% in Class XII CBSE from P P Savani School and had been preparing for the exam at the school's Center For Excellence. He also scored 111.25 out of 120 in the GUJCET.
"I always wanted to pursue medicine. I'll do my UG from AIIMS Delhi and later go for MS," said Jenil.
He attributed his success to disciplined, focused study and the inspiration he drew from his grandfather's dream. "It was his wish that I become a doctor," said Jenil, who will be the first doctor in his family.
His cousin, Jainam, also cleared NEET with 553 marks and hopes to secure admission to a govt medical college. Jenil's younger sister Jiya is in Class XI and his brother Kunj is in Class VII. Their father, Vinod Bhayani, a chemical engineer, now runs a real estate business, while his mother Saguna is a homemaker.

India emerging as key destination, amid supply chain shift of global electronic sector: Report

India is expected to witness strong and exponential growth in the electronics manufacturing sector amid the ongoing global supply chain realignment in the electronics sector, according to a new report by PwC . The report pointed out that the electronics industry is experiencing a shift in the global supply chain, with India emerging as a key destination. This shift has already led to significant growth in the production of items like smartphones and other electronic products. It said "India aims to reach USD 500 Bn of domestic prediction - the nation may reach USD 282 Bn conservatively by 2030". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invest today with in Shriram's ULIP Shriram Life Insurance Undo The report outlined three possible growth scenarios for the sector, conservative, moderate, and ambitious. Even if India grows conservatively, India's domestic electronics production could reach USD 282 billion by 2030. Live Events A moderate growth path projects this figure at USD 418 billion, while the ambitious scenario, aligned with the target set by NITI Aayog , estimates the production could hit USD 500 billion, provided there is aggressive policy support by the government and continuous investments. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories The report mentioned that while mobile phones, semiconductors, and consumer electronics are expected to lead the way, it also cautioned that other segments may grow at a slower pace due to limited capital expenditure. This could slightly restrict the overall speed of development. Several factors are expected to fuel growth in the sector. India is currently the second-largest smartphone market in the world. The mobile and wearables segment alone is projected to grow to USD 159 billion by FY2030. In Information Technology, the report stated that the electronics market is expected to touch USD 32 billion by the same period. The rising demand for data servers, likely to increase tenfold, will also contribute to the surge in domestic production. The telecom sector is witnessing rapid change as well. In the last five years, data traffic has grown 60 times, and by 2026, more than 65 per cent of total data revenue is expected to come from 5G services. This trend will further boost the need for telecom-related electronics and infrastructure. The industrial electronics segment is also evolving with emerging sectors like EV chargers and smart industrial automation becoming important growth drivers. Overall, the PwC report indicated that India's electronics manufacturing industry is on track for strong expansion. Achieving the upper end of the projected growth will depend on continued policy support, infrastructure development, and targeted investments in high-growth areas.

Air India Crash: What the Montreal Convention means for grieving families and victims

Air India Crash: A Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, operating as AI 171 and bound for London's Gatwick Airport, tragically crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12, striking a medical college and erupting into a fireball of death and devastation. The flight was carrying 242 people, including 169 Indian nationals, 53 British nationals, seven Portuguese nationals, and one Canadian national. Of those on board, 241 perished; only one British national of Indian origin survived. While Tata Sons, the parent company of Air India, announced ₹ 1 crore as compensation for families of the deceased and the lone survivor of the deadly crash, the final compensation will depend on the Montreal Convention treaty. The Montreal Convention, formally called the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air, is a multilateral treaty adopted on May 8, 1999, in Montreal, Canada, by the member states of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). India joined as the 91st member in 2009. The Montreal Convention is applicable only to international flights between countries that are parties to the treaty. If an airline is found to be negligent for an accident, the Montreal Convention holds it liable for damages, including passenger deaths or injury to passengers, delay, damage or loss of baggage and cargo as well. Chapter III of the Montreal Convention is titled 'Liability of the Carrier and Extent of Compensation for Damage.' According to the convention, the compensation is determined and applied when the airline is liable for the damage. As of December 2024, it stood at approximately $211,000 in the case of death or bodily injury of a passenger. Jim Brauchle, former US Air Force Navigator and Aviation Attorney at Motley Rice, told Livemint, 'the airline is strictly liable for the $200,000 in damages suffered by each passenger' under the Montreal Convention. Jim added, 'To recover beyond that amount, Air India will have to prove that it and its employees were not negligent in any way in causing the crash. The Montreal Convention only applies to Air India as the operator of the flight and not to any of the manufacturers.' The treaty also specifies nearly $8,778 for each passenger in case of damage caused by delay in the carriage of persons. For destruction, loss, damage, or delay related to baggage, the limit per passenger is about $2,115. In the case of cargo, the liability limit has increased to around $36.21 per kilogram. The aviation attorney further stated he was not surprised by the incident of the 787 Dreamliner crashing, citing 'some issues and previous incidents". 'Usually engine failures or control surface malfunctions' are the most likely technical crashes that could lead to a crash just seconds after takeoff, he said, also pointing out flaps up and gear down as seen in the video. 'Observing the video of the airplane right before the crash, it appears that the flaps are up, and the gear is down. On take off, the gear is typically raised prior to retraction of the flaps. This is an odd configuration indicative of a potential mechanical or crew failure,' he mentioned. Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) ordered Air India to perform enhanced checks on all of its Boeing 787-8/9 fleet starting June 15, 2025, amid the probe panel set up by the Ministry of Civil Aviation on June 13 to evaluate the circumstances leading to the crash and assess existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and safety guidelines currently in place. According to the HT report, at least 22 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft in the Indian fleet were inspected after the tragic incident last week. 'Checks on 22 787s have been completed, and nothing alarming was found during the surveillance. The inspection on the remaining B787 may be completed by Monday," the report quoted one of the officials as saying. On June 14 evening, Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said the company will make an interim payment of ₹ 25 lakh to each of the deceased's families and the survivor, besides ₹ 1 crore already announced by Tata Sons. 'To provide immediate financial support, Air India will be making an interim payment of ₹ 25 lakh, or approximately £21,000, to each of the families of the deceased and also to the survivor. This is in addition to the ₹ 1 crore, or approximately £85,000, already committed by Tata Sons,' Wilson said.

Air India discontinues full-service carrier at Imphal, low-cost subsidiary to continue ops

Air India has discontinued the operation of its full-service carrier at the Imphal International Airport from June 15, but the airline's low-cost subsidiary AI Express will continue services here, AAI officials said on Monday.
