Mukesh Ambani donates Rs 151 crore to his alma mater ICT
The Reliance chairman spent over three hours at Mumbai-based ICT – formerly the University Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT) – during a function to launch Professor MM Sharma's biography, 'Divine Scientist' read more Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, on Friday (June 6) announced an unconditional grant of Rs 151 crore to the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), his alma mater from the 1970s. The Reliance chairman spent over three hours at Mumbai-based ICT – formerly the University Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT) – during a function to launch Professor MM Sharma's biography, 'Divine Scientist'. He reminisced about his first lecture at UDCT by Professor Sharma, which greatly inspired him. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I realised he is an alchemist, not of metals, but minds: he has the power to transform curiosity into knowledge, knowledge into commercial value, and both knowledge and commercial value into everlasting wisdom,' he said. He highlighted how Professor Sharma quietly influenced India's economic reforms by convincing policymakers that the key to India's growth was freeing the industry from the license-permit-raj. This would enable Indian companies to scale up, reduce import dependence, and compete globally. 'Like my father, Dhirubhai Ambani, he had a burning desire to transform Indian industry from scarcity to global leadership,' said Ambani. He added, 'These two visionary leaders believed that science and technology, combined with private entrepreneurship, would lead to prosperity.' Acknowledging Professor Sharma's contributions to the rise of the Indian chemical industry, Ambani referred to him as 'a Rashtra Guru – a Guru of Bharat'. While discussing 'Guru Dakshina', Ambani announced the unconditional grant of Rs 151 crore to ICT, following Professor Sharma's guidance. 'When he tells us something, we just listen. We don't think. He told me, 'Mukesh, you have to do something big for ICT,' and I am very pleased to announce this grant for Professor Sharma,' said the Reliance chairman.

US Supreme Court grants DOGE access to social security data amid legal battle
The US Supreme Court on Friday permitted the Department of Government Efficiency, a key player in President Donald Trump's drive to slash the federal workforce, broad access to personal information on millions of Americans in Social Security Administration data systems while a legal challenge plays the request of the Justice Department, the justices put on hold Maryland-based US District Judge Ellen Hollander's order that had largely blocked DOGE's access to "personally identifiable information" in data such as medical and financial records while litigation proceeds in a lower court. Hollander found that allowing DOGE unfettered access likely would violate a federal privacy court's brief, unsigned order did not provide a rationale for siding with DOGE. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. Its three liberal justices dissented from the order. Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, in a dissent that was joined by fellow liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor, criticized the court's majority for granting DOGE "unfettered data access" despite the administration's "failure to show any need or any interest in complying with existing privacy safeguards."In a separate order on Friday, the Supreme Court extended its block on judicial orders requiring DOGE to turn over records to a government watchdog group that sought details on the entity established by Trump and swept through federal agencies as part of the Republican president's effort, spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk, to eliminate federal jobs, downsize and reshape the US government and root out what they see as wasteful spending. Musk formally ended his government work on May labor unions and an advocacy group sued to stop DOGE from accessing sensitive data at the Social Security Administration, or SSA, including Social Security numbers, bank account data, tax information, earnings history and immigration agency is a major provider of government benefits, sending checks each month to more than 70 million recipients including retirees and disabled Forward, a liberal legal group that represented the plaintiffs, said Friday's order would put millions of Americans' data at risk."Elon Musk may have left Washington, DC, but his impact continues to harm millions of people," the group said in a statement. "We will continue to use every legal tool at our disposal to keep unelected bureaucrats from misusing the public's most sensitive data as this case moves forward."In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs argued that the Social Security Administration had been "ransacked" and that DOGE members had been installed without proper vetting or training and demanded access to some of the agency's most sensitive data in an April 17 ruling found that DOGE had failed to explain why its stated mission required "unprecedented, unfettered access to virtually SSA's entire data systems.""For some 90 years, SSA has been guided by the foundational principle of an expectation of privacy with respect to its records," Hollander wrote. "This case exposes a wide fissure in the foundation."advertisementHollander issued a preliminary injunction that prohibited DOGE staffers and anyone working with them from accessing data containing personal information, with only narrow exceptions. The judge's ruling did allow DOGE affiliates to access data that had been stripped of private information as long as those seeking access had gone through the proper training and passed background also ordered DOGE affiliates to "disgorge and delete" any personal information already in their Richmond, Virginia-based 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals in a 9-6 vote declined on April 30 to pause Hollander's block on DOGE's unlimited access to Social Security Administration Department lawyers in their Supreme Court filing characterized Hollander's order as judicial overreach."The district court is forcing the executive branch to stop employees charged with modernizing government information systems from accessing the data in those systems because, in the court's judgment, those employees do not 'need' such access," they six dissenting judges wrote that the case should have been treated the same as one in which 4th Circuit panel ruled 2-1 to allow DOGE to access data at the UTreasury and Education Departments and the Office of Personnel a concurring opinion, seven judges who ruled against DOGE wrote that the case involving Social Security data was "substantially stronger" with "vastly greater stakes," citing "detailed and profoundly sensitive Social Security records," such as family court and school records of children, mental health treatment records and credit card InMust Watch

Musk calls for impeachment of Trump
Washington: Amid the brewing tensions between US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the tech billionaire called for the impeachment of the Republican firebrand. He went ahead, saying US Vice President JD Vance should replace Trump in the Oval Office, leaving many shocked. Musk's remarks came in response to an X post demanding the impeachment of the 47th President of the United States. 'President vs Elon. Who wins? My money's on Elon." 'Trump should be impeached, and JD Vance should replace him,' Ian Miles Cheong, a Malaysia-based right-wing writer, said in a post on Thursday afternoon. 'Yes,' Musk said in response to Cheong's post about 20 minutes later. The brief friendship between Musk and Trump nose-dived into an abyss due to a disagreement over Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill', which pushes for tax cuts and other spending measures. Things escalated quickly after Musk claimed that Trump is part of the Epstein Files, calling it the reason why it is not being fully released. While speaking to reporters at the Oval Office, Trump narrated the downfall of his and Musk's friendship, with many calling it a therapy session rather than a meeting with a foreign leader. He recalled Musk's farewell press conference and mentioned how the billionaire stood next to the President with a black eye. 'You saw a man who was very happy when he stood behind the Oval desk, and even with the black eye. I said, You want a little makeup? We'll get you a little makeup,' Trump said. 'But he said, 'No, I don't think so,' which is interesting and very nice. He wants to be who he is.' Interestingly, at that time, Musk was facing reports of drug use during his time as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Trump also mentioned that he could understand why Musk was upset with some steps he had taken, including withdrawing a nominee to lead the NASA space agency who was supported by the tech tycoon. The POTUS was narrating this saga while sitting in front of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who had no other option but to sit silently through it all. At the heart of the Trump-Musk feud is the 'big, beautiful bill' on tax and spending. The centrepiece of his domestic agenda, it aims to continue tax cuts from his first term and is being touted as the make-or-break bill for Republican prospects in the 2026 midterm elections. Musk slammed the bill, calling it a 'disgusting abomination' on Tuesday, because it will increase the US deficit. A day later, the magnate called for Republicans to 'kill the bill,' and for an alternative plan that 'doesn't massively grow the deficit.'
