Sanskrit plays crucial role in cultural revival and nation's progress: Amit Shah
NEW DELHI: The Modi government is giving new life to the ancient languages of the country by connecting them with modern technology and lifestyle,' said Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday, speaking at the closing ceremony of the 1008 'Sanskrit Sambhashan Shivirs.'
Shah asserted that there is no opposition to any language in India, emphasising that no one can be separated from their mother tongue. He highlighted that Sanskrit is the mother of nearly all Indian languages, and its promotion is not only a cultural imperative but also vital to the overall development of the nation.
'As the mother of most Indian languages, the promotion of Sanskrit is not merely about reviving an ancient language, but also about advancing the nation's comprehensive progress,' he said, adding that as Sanskrit gains strength and richness, it will consequently uplift and empower every regional language and dialect across the country. 'While there is no opposition to any language, no one can be distanced from their mother tongue, and Sanskrit is the mother of nearly all Indian languages,' he remarked.
Describing Sanskrit as one of the most structured and ancient languages of the world, Shah said that its unmatched grammatical framework makes it a unique language. He stated that the Modi government is continuously taking steps to empower Sanskrit as well as all Indian languages.

Our government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, has identified the skill gap between academia and industry and is actively working to bridge it.' 'We believe in inclusive governance,' he added. 'We are designing curriculum in collaboration with industry leaders and domain experts. As a result, nearly 80% of students trained through our Skill University programs have already secured employment.' Encouraging the youth, he remarked: 'Each of you has immense potential. Evolve with the times, embrace new technologies, and stay resilient. Every setback is a step towards your goal.'

Enhanced DGCA oversight key to avert flight crashes: Captain C S Randhawa
Captain C S Randhawa is a big name in the Indian aviation industry. The former Deputy Chief Flight Operations Inspector at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has 45 years of flying experience, including 37 years of flying Boeing aircraft and fighter planes. As President of the Federation of Indian Pilots, he has been vocal about the need to boost the safety of flying for both passengers and crew. He spoke to S. Lalitha about the way ahead for the grief-stricken industry. Excerpts: In the aftermath of one of the world's deadliest air crashes, which took place at Ahmedabad on June 12, resulting in over 270 deaths and a spate of incidents involving helicopters, too, in the recent past, what steps do you suggest to boost safety in the country's aviation industry? The DGCA needs to exercise greater oversight of all operators. Airlines need to be regularly asked to send reports. For instance, in one of the recent helicopter crashes at Kedarnath, which caused casualties of all on board, the private operator flew in inclement weather. All these aspects need to be brought under strict vigilance. Also, we must involve expert pilots or aviators whenever any inquiry is conducted by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau. As FIP president, I want to take up this issue with the Minister of Civil Aviation or the Prime Minister. All regulators like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the USA, the Civil Aviation Authority in the UK and European Aviation Safety Agency in Europe involve veteran pilots with much experience in such investigations.
