‘Free AI For All': Raghav Chadha Wants Govt To Make ChatGPT, Gemini Free For Indians
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha has called for free subscription to advanced generative AI tools – including ChatGPT and Grok – for all Indians, stressing that artificial intelligence is an opportunity for every Indian citizen of every social strata.
Speaking in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, Chadha said, 'Today's world is changing very quickly. In this changing world, AI is not just a technology, but also an opportunity to have dreams and achieve them."
'For our farmers, they can help in smart farming. They can act as a 24×7 tutor for our students, a business planner for our traders, a career guide for our youth and also a doctor for our elderly. AI has the answers for all your problems," he added.

Chadha said countries like the UAE, Singapore and China are offering their citizens advanced generative AI tools without any charges, but people in India cannot access these tools as they are too expensive.
He said all Indians must be ready for 2030, when AI is expected to create a $15 trillion economy. 'If India provides free subscription of advanced generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Claude to all Indians of all ages and social strata in all languages, it can improve the country's productivity and save valuable time."
'Be it coding, studying data analytics, or simply filling up a form… AI would help us do these jobs with more ease. The government should look into the matter so that no Indian is left behind," he added.
He called his proposal a step towards digital democracy in order to ensure the well-being of every Indian in the advent of AI. Several AI tools in India require subscriptions to be used to their optimal levels.
Meanwhile, OpenAI has launched the new ChatGPT Go plan in India, its most-affordable premium subscription offering till date. The new ChatGPT option is priced at Rs 399 per month, making it far cheaper than the ChatGPT Plus plan, which comes for Rs 1,999 per month.

RBI floats discussion paper to review inflation targeting framework
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has floated a discussion paper ahead of the second review of its inflation targeting framework (FIT), due by March 2026, to examine whether to target core or headline inflation. The review will also assess whether the 4 per cent inflation target remains optimal for balancing growth with stability in India's rapidly growing, large emerging economy. Additionally, the paper will consider whether RBI should target a fixed number or a band. The paper will further examine if the current tolerance band, set at +/- 2 per cent, should be narrowed or widened. Under the Act, the RBI is mandated to maintain a Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation target of 4.0 per cent with a tolerance band around it. The FIT framework, in place since October 2016, is reviewed every five years. In the first review conducted in March 2021, the 4 per cent target was retained for the subsequent five years, until March 2026. 'With price stability being a shared responsibility between the government and the central bank, effective monetary-fiscal coordination, through supply-side interventions and monetary tightening to prevent second-round effects, ensured the success of FIT,' the discussion paper stated. The paper observed that the experience with the FIT framework, introduced in 2016 and first reviewed in 2021, has broadly been positive. 'On the whole, the inflation performance over the nine years of FIT shows a hump-shaped performance, with the first three years and last three years aligning with the target,' it noted. On whether to target headline or core inflation, the report said that headline inflation is preferred globally as a more representative measure of overall price conditions. With the high share of food in the consumption basket, food inflation pressures cannot be ignored in India. The paper cited cross-country data showing that almost all inflation-targeting countries have chosen headline CPI as their target, irrespective of their inflation target level or stage of development. Currently, Uganda is the only country targeting core inflation. Regarding the argument to eliminate food from the target, the discussion paper quoted former RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das: 'Not having a target would make no sense to the average citizen, as it is the headline inflation that the common person understands and should remain that way.' On the argument that the current CPI base (2011-12) is outdated, and that the share of food would decline once the base is updated, the paper stated that food continues to dominate Indian households' consumption, as corroborated by the latest Survey of Household Consumption Expenditure 2023-24. The survey shows that 90 per cent of the lowest fractile rural households and 50 per cent of the lowest fractile urban households spend over 50 per cent of their monthly consumption on food and energy. On whether the 4 per cent target should remain, the paper pointed to empirical evidence suggesting that in India, 4 per cent is the optimal inflation rate at which macroeconomic conditions remain stable with zero output gap. There was an argument to raise the target to 6 per cent, which was considered optimal for India. However, the paper cautioned that increasing the target now, amid geopolitical uncertainty and geo-economic fragmentation, could be perceived by global investors as a dilution of the FIT framework, undermining policy credibility. 'It could erode the gains in policy and institutional credibility achieved through fiscal responsibility and external stability,' the paper warned. On reviewing the tolerance band, the report noted that the current band offers flexibility to account for shocks in food, energy, and other volatile components, as well as any forecasting and measurement errors. The report argued that replacing the target with a band could be seen as diluting the framework, eroding policy credibility, and weakening the commitment to price stability by both domestic and international investors. RBI said that releasing a discussion paper aligns with global practice. Such a paper was not released for public feedback during the first review. Feedback on this paper must be submitted by 18 September 2025.

Assam To Stop Issuing Aadhaar Cards To Adults To Curb Illegal Migration
Guwahati: The Assam government has decided that no new Aadhaar cards will be issued to individuals over the age of 18 in the state. The decision, announced on Thursday, will take effect from the first week of October, once a formal government notification is issued. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the measure is aimed at preventing illegal Bangladeshi migrants from acquiring Indian identity documents. Aadhaar, a biometric-based identification system, is widely used as a primary proof of residence and citizenship across India. "Those who are 18-plus will no longer get Aadhaar cards in Assam. For SCs, STs, and tea garden tribes, Aadhaar cards will be issued only for one year. Those who have not yet applied must do so within September, as the window will remain open for just one month. After that, exceptions will be entertained only through the Deputy Commissioner's office, with final approval resting solely with the DC," Chief Minister Sarma said, after the cabinet meeting at the state guest house in Koinadhora on Thursday. The move comes amid an intensified state-wide campaign to identify and deport undocumented migrants from Bangladesh, an issue that has long fuelled political and social tensions in Assam. The state, which shares a porous border with Bangladesh, has witnessed periodic crackdowns against people suspected of entering illegally. Officials say Aadhaar has been widely used by illegal migrants to legitimise their stay in India, prompting the government to impose stricter controls. By limiting Aadhaar issuance for adults, the government argues it can plug loopholes in the identification process. During his briefing, the Chief Minister also raised concerns about alleged attempts to stir pro-Bangladesh sentiments in parts of Dhubri district, close to the international border. Mr Sarma said such attempts posed a threat to India's sensitive Siliguri corridor, popularly known as the "chicken neck." "Our chicken neck region is extremely vulnerable as most people who settled there originally came from Bangladesh. Now, some elements in Bangladesh are provoking residents to create pro-Bangladesh sentiments," he stated.

U.K. sees record number of asylum applications: govt data
Britain has received a record number of asylum applications, official data showed on Thursday (August 21, 2025), as the government faces growing pressure over the housing of thousands of migrants in hotels. Also Read | Indian citizens in U.K. prisons now eligible for deportation while asylum appeals active A total of 111,084 people applied for asylum in the U.K. in the year to June 2025, according to figures released by the interior ministry, called the Home Office. That was the highest for any 12-month period since current records began in 2001. Immigration is a thorny issue in Britain, where Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer is struggling to fend off the hard-right Reform UK party led by anti-immigrant firebrand Nigel Farage. The upstarts are piling pressure on Labour over accommodating asylum seekers in hotels, a practice that hit peak levels under the previous centre-right Conservative party. The Home Office data showed that 32,059 migrants were staying in hotels at the end of June, an 8% increase on the same month last year, just before Mr. Starmer became Prime Minister. But it was well below the high of 56,042, recorded at the end of September 2023. Mr. Starmer is facing heat over his failure to stop irregular migrants crossing the Channel to England on rudimentary small boats. More than 50,000 people have made the dangerous journey since he became UK leader in July 2024. Thursday's data showed that irregular arrivals soared 27% over the previous year, with 88% of those coming by small boats.
