Why is Trump not imposing extra tariffs on China just like India for importing Russian oil? Is he scared? VP Vance admits...
New Delhi: US President Donald Trump imposed 25 percent tariff on India for buying Russian oil. On being asked why he isn't imposing same tariff on China for buying Russian oil, there is no straight answer. Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance has admitted that imposing tariffs on China is a very difficult decision. JD Vance has said that after imposing a huge tariff hike on Russian oil imports from India, US President Donald Trump is now considering similar measures against China. But he stressed that deciding to impose tariffs against China would be much more difficult and politically sensitive. Why did Trump not impose tariff on China for importing Russian oil? It is clear from the statement of Vice President JD Vance that Donald Trump is afraid of China's retaliation. In fact, when Trump imposed tariffs on China for the first time, China immediately retaliated and reduced the supply of those rare minerals to America, which are most needed by America's defense industry. The current situation is that American defense companies are struggling to make weapons, and many companies have been forced to extend the delivery date of weapons by two to three months. What did VP Vance say on the issue? That is why JD Vance has admitted that 'the relations between the two countries also affect many other issues.' That is, America is looking after its own interests and is avoiding imposing tariffs on China due to fear. Speaking on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, Vice President JD Vance said, 'imposing tariffs on China is being considered, but no decision has been taken yet.' Vance said, 'The President (Donald Trump) has said that he is thinking about it, but he has not taken any concrete decision. The China issue is a little more complicated because our relationship affects many other things that have nothing to do with the Russian situation.' How much oil did China purchase from Russia in July? China's imports of Russian crude oil crossed $ 10 billion in July, the highest monthly level since March. However, the figures so far in 2025 are 7.7% lower than in 2024. Vance said that the President is 'reviewing his options' and 'a decision will be taken at the right time.' At the same time, senior advisor Peter Navarro warned that such tariffs 'can also harm America.' This statement of JD Vance comes after the recent 25 percent additional tariff imposed by the US against India. Due to which the total tariff rate on Indian goods has increased to 50%. This additional duty will come into effect from August 27.

Parliament panel slams govt for keeping MGNREGS funding static at Rs 86,000 crore since 2023–24
NEW DELHI: A parliamentary panel on Monday criticised the government for not increasing the allocation under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), expressing concern that funding has remained static at Rs 86,000 crore since the revised estimates of 2023–24. In a report tabled in Parliament, the Department-Related Parliamentary Committee on Rural Development and Panchayati Raj stressed that the effective implementation of the scheme hinges on 'timely and adequate' funding. 'The Committee is concerned to note that the allocation has remained unchanged since the 2023–24 revised estimates,' the report stated. It added that given MGNREGS's role in providing employment to rural and marginalised communities, consistent funding is essential for uninterrupted implementation. The panel questioned the government's rationale behind the stagnation in allocations, particularly for a demand-driven scheme like MGNREGS. It reiterated its earlier recommendation to reassess funding needs and raise allocations at the revised estimate stage if necessary. In its response, the Department of Rural Development (DoRD) maintained that fund disbursal is a 'continuous and demand-driven process,' and assured that the Centre remains committed to ensuring timely fund availability in coordination with the Ministry of Finance. The committee, however, dismissed the reply as 'stereotypical' and lacking seriousness, noting it merely outlined procedural aspects without addressing the core funding concerns. 'The Committee feels an immediate need for greater coordination between the DoRD and Ministry of Finance to ensure seamless implementation,' the report said. It reaffirmed its call for increased allocation to meet the scheme's objectives. According to budget data, Rs 89,153.71 crore was spent on MGNREGS in 2023–24. However, allocations for 2024–25 and 2025–26 remained fixed at Rs 86,000 crore each.

Delhi To Organise It's First Industrial Ideathon, 652 Student Teams To Participate
Delhi's Industrial Ideathon 2025: The race to solve Delhi's toughest industrial problems has officially begun and the city's students are all in. In a first-of-its-kind Industrial Ideathon, a staggering 652 teams from top universities have signed up to take on challenges that range from untangling last mile logistics to helping small industries embrace Industry 4.0 technology. The contest, organised by the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) in partnership with Netaji Subhash University of Technology (NSUT), has prizes worth Rs. 40 lakh on the line, but the real draw is the chance to pitch ideas directly to the people who shape policy and business in the capital. On August 13, NSUT will turn into an innovation war room as 124 shortlisted teams step into an intense eight-hour challenge. They'll tackle live problem statements, streamlining supply chains, making it easier to do business, integrating cutting-edge tech into small units, and helping MSMEs access finance and markets. The best 40 will earn a spot in the grand finale on August 22. Industries Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa says the massive turnout proves young Delhiites are ready to get their hands dirty solving real problems. "This overwhelming participation is proof that Delhi's youth want to be part of shaping our industrial future. They're ready to solve the real-world problems our businesses face every day," he said. Sirsa calls the initiative a bridge between classrooms, factory floors and government offices. "Students get to work on live problems with measurable impact, while policymakers gain fresh, actionable ideas straight from the country's brightest young minds. This is policy by participation in its truest form," he said. With over one lakh impressions on the official portal and more than 2,000 sign-ups during registration, the ideathon is already making waves beyond campus walls. All participants will get certificates, while winners will be felicitated by senior dignitaries at the closing ceremony. If the excitement around this debut edition is any indicator, Delhi's industrial policy may soon carry the fingerprints of its youngest problem-solvers. Students may visit for updates.
