vision, officials said. Central govt sought feedback from all states.
The recommendations included setting up offline registration centres and rolling out digital literacy initiatives in remote regions to promote digital inclusion.
A major focus was also placed on data privacy, with calls for strict rules around data encryption, third-party sharing, and compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Other important proposals involved bringing greater transparency in the de-registration process by making notices mandatory and establishing an independent Registration Dispute Resolution Authority to handle registration-related complaints in a timely manner.

Officers also underlined the need for strong inter-departmental coordination and emphasised clarity in administrative procedures to match the pace of digital reforms such as Aadhaar-based verification and e-records.
These inputs were shared by deputy inspectors general of registration, deputy controllers of stamps, and other senior officials who conducted section-wise reviews of the draft.
Many of the suggestions were based on field-level experience and aimed at making the Act more functional and responsive to public needs.
The workshop was chaired by Ravindra Binawade (IAS), inspector general of registration and controller of stamps, Maharashtra. The department is set to draw the suggestions from all sub-divisional officers and staff to make this draft more comprehensive. The department is expected to conduct another round of stakeholder discussions before the draft is finalised to be sent to Centre.
The Draft Registration Bill 2025, intended to modernise the Registration Act, 1908, is focused on simplifying registration processes through measures such as digital registration, Aadhaar-based ID checks, electronic record keeping, and expanding the list of documents that require compulsory registration. The workshop was attended by all senior officials from the state registration department. State govt is expected to hold additional review meetings before moving ahead with final legislative procedures.

Intel to slash factory jobs in new round of layoffs starting July, more cuts likely to follow
Intel is preparing to implement significant job cuts at its manufacturing sites beginning mid-July, marking its first major workforce reduction since Lip-Bu Tan assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer in March. The layoffs, which are expected to conclude by the end of the month, form part of a broader strategic overhaul as the company seeks to streamline operations and sharpen its competitive edge in the global semiconductor internal memo, reviewed by The Oregonian/OregonLive, confirmed the timeline for the layoffs but withheld specific details on the number of positions affected or the exact locations. According to sources familiar with the matter, individual business units have been granted autonomy in managing the reductions, provided they meet financial benchmarks established by senior company has framed the cuts as essential to its ongoing transformation. In a statement, Intel explained, 'Removing organisational complexity and empowering our engineers will enable us to better serve the needs of our customers and strengthen our execution.' It further emphasised that these decisions were made following 'careful consideration' and pledged that employees impacted by the layoffs would be treated with 'care and respect.'The move reflects growing pressure on Intel to address persistent challenges, including falling demand in the PC and laptop sectors, eroding sales figures, and intensified competition in chip manufacturing, particularly in the artificial intelligence (AI) space. Competitors such as Nvidia and AMD have surged ahead in AI-focused hardware, a domain where analysts have repeatedly pointed to Intel's this latest round of redundancies represents the first under Tan's leadership, it follows a difficult recent history for Intel's workforce. In 2023, the company slashed approximately 15,000 positions under then-CEO Pat Gelsinger, including around 3,000 jobs in Oregon alone. Despite these cuts, Intel remains Oregon's largest private-sector employer, with an estimated 20,000 staff based in Washington over impending layoffs has been swirling among Intel's Oregon-based employees since April, when Tan, during an investor call, alluded to possible reductions but refrained from disclosing specifics or outlining a full strategic plan. This lack of clarity has fuelled growing frustration among staff, who have voiced concerns over what they perceive as insufficient transparency from senior his predecessor, Tan has maintained a notably lower public profile since stepping into the CEO role. Nevertheless, he is expected to unveil a comprehensive transformation blueprint later this year. Industry watchers anticipate that this plan will prioritise strengthening Intel's manufacturing capabilities, expanding its AI footprint, and restoring investor confidence, all while positioning the firm to navigate the increasingly competitive semiconductor landscape Intel embarks on this difficult phase of its restructuring, the company's long-term strategy will likely come under intense scrutiny from both employees and market analysts in the months ahead. advertisement

Rare earth, rarer nod: Indian firms' magnet waitlist doubles in 2 weeks, sends industry into supply tailspin
The number of India-based companies awaiting licences from China's commerce ministry to procure rare earth magnets has nearly doubled to 21 from 11 two weeks ago, according to people familiar with the matter. These include Bosch India , Marelli Powertrain India , Mahle Electric Drives India, TVS Motor and Uno Minda , they said. Sona Comstar , whose application was recently rejected by China's commerce ministry due to procedural issues, has reapplied and is among the 21 companies, said a senior industry executive. 'These companies have duly filled in and got endorsed the end-user certificate and shipped the requisite documents to their suppliers for procuring rare earth magnets from China, but licences are yet to be awarded by the government there,' said the executive, who did not wish to be identified. It comes in the wake of China's April 4 order mandating exporters that ship medium and heavy rare earth magnets to seek a licence from its commerce department after getting an end-user certificate from the buyer. The certificate requires buyers to make certain guarantees. These include the guarantee that these items will not be used for storing, manufacturing, producing or processing weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. Although the order had come in response to Donald Trump's tariffs, the US President this week announced a bilateral trade deal under which China will supply rare earth magnets to the US. Meanwhile, Indian authorities are in the process of reaching out to their counterparts in China via diplomatic channels to secure meetings for a dialogue to resolve the issue, but not much has happened on that front yet, said the sources. While some automotive parts makers in Europe recently got approvals to source rare earth magnets, their Indian arms are yet to get a go-ahead from China's commerce ministry. The issue is complicated by the two nations' tense business and political relationship, experts said. As per the latest data collated by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, 52 companies based in the nation source magnets from China to supply to automobile manufacturers across India. If licences are not awarded soon, industry stakeholders fear disruptions in production as stocks are set to run out in early July. India imported 870 tonnes of rare earth magnets valued at ₹306 crore in 2024-25. 'While the value of imports compared to the industry size is minuscule, vehicles cannot be manufactured even if we are short of one component where a rare earth magnet is being used,' said an executive.

Indian diaspora sees PM Modi's Canada visit as moment for rebuilding trust
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarks on a three-nation tour, culminating in his participation at the G7 Summit hosted in Alberta, Canada, members of the Indian diaspora across Canada and the United States have extended a warm welcome and expressed hope for a renewed chapter in India-Canada relations. The visit comes at a time when bilateral ties between the two nations have been strained in recent years, primarily due to concerns over Canada's perceived leniency towards Khalistseparatist elements. However, PM Modi's invitation by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is being viewed by many as a significant diplomatic overture and a potential turning point in Indo-Canadian relations . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Vietnam (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo "We warmly welcome you to Canada and hope that with your arrival, the relations between India and Canada will grow stronger and more prosperous," said Harjit Singh Sandhu, Vice Chairman of the India Canada Organisation (ICO), Montreal. Echoing a similar sentiment, Harpreet Singh, a Canada-based journalist, noted the importance of the G7 platform. Live Events "The world is passing through a critical phase, and the G7 meeting in Alberta will be a great opportunity for world leaders to brainstorm and find solutions to pressing global challenges," Singh said. "Our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi from India, which is a welcome step. There have been issues between India and Canada in the past few years, and I hope during this meeting, things are sorted out and a new path is chosen where both countries develop and prosper," said Harpreet Singh. Singh emphasised the importance of strengthening cooperation in trade, technology, and investment, stating that the over one million-strong Indian diaspora in Canada is eager for "peace, stability, and progress." In New Jersey, HS Paneser, President of the Global Indian Diaspora Alliance, hailed the visit as a "pivotal moment to reset and rebuild Indo-Canadian relations." "As of June 2025, Prime Minister Modi's participation in the G7 Summit, hosted by Prime Minister Carney, is being widely viewed by the Indian diaspora and global observers as a crucial opportunity to address and improve the recent strain in bilateral ties," Paneser told ANI. He pointed to a prevailing sentiment of cautious optimism among the diaspora, referring to the G7 invitation as "an olive branch -- a symbolic and strategic soft restart to the relationship." Highlighting shared interests in trade, critical minerals, technology, and academic exchange, Paneser said both countries stand to benefit from "strengthened cooperation and mutual respect." He also stressed the significance of people-to-people ties , particularly the contributions of Indian students and professionals in Canada. "The fact that PM Modi has been invited to the G7, despite India not being a member, underscores India's rising global stature as the world's most populous country and fourth-largest economy," Paneser remarked. "We see this visit as a pivotal moment to rebuild trust, enhance cooperation, and usher in a more constructive and mutually beneficial phase in Indo-Canadian relations." Concluding on a hopeful note, he added, "In the spirit of progress and partnership, we, the members of the Indian diaspora, wholeheartedly welcome this positive move and hope it marks the beginning of better days for both nations."
