Mum: IFT Expo 2025 to showcase innovations in Indian fisheries sector
Mumbai, June 11 (UNI) India's first-ever International Fisheries Technology Exhibition (IFT Expo 2025) is set to be held here on June 12 and 13, official confirmed on Wednesday.
The event will be inaugurated by Maharashtra's Port Development Minister Nitish Narayan Rane, with Sagar Mehra, Joint Secretary of Inland Fisheries and Management, Department of Fisheries, Government of India, also attending as a chief guest.
The exhibition arrives at a pivotal moment for India's fisheries sector, which is undergoing historic transformation. With a record allocation of Rs 2,703 crore in the Union Budget 2025-26, alongside new export policies, infrastructure development, and sustainability initiatives, fisheries and aquaculture have emerged as a 'sunrise sector' of the Indian economy. Yet, despite its rapid growth, the sector's full potential and significance remain underappreciated.
In Maharashtra, fisheries are expanding swiftly. Minister Nitish Rane highlighted that granting farmer status to fishermen will further propel the sector, positioning Maharashtra as a leader in both marine and inland fisheries.
IFT Expo 2025 offers a comprehensive platform encompassing the entire fisheries ecosystem, including fishing techniques, seafood processing, cold storage, sanitation, automation, packaging, artificial intelligence, quality standards, and logistics. The event aims to foster innovation and collaboration to support sustainable growth in fisheries and aquaculture nationwide. UNI AAA SSP

How much money will Babar Azam get to play for Sydney Sixers in BBL, The amount is less than.......
Preparations for the Big Bash League 2025 (BBL 2025) have started in Australia and players are being selected by the teams. This time Pakistan's star batsman Babar Azam has been included in the Sydney Sixers team. In the BBL, before the overseas draft, under the 'pre-draft sign' process, teams get a chance to choose a foreign player, in which the Sixers have selected Babar. Australian legend Steve Smith is also included in this team. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Sydney Sixers have signed up Babar Azam for BBL 2025 as a pre-draft signing. Babar Azam is set to make his Big Bash debut this year. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Sydney Sixers also follows the same salary system. However, given Babar Azam's performance in T20 and Pakistan Super League, it is expected that he will not get the maximum amount. It is estimated that the Sixers will give him an amount slightly less than $ 4,20,000. This amount is approximately Rs 2.35 crore in Indian currency. Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Babar Azam is counted among the biggest names in Pakistan cricket, but his salary in the BBL is even less than that of an uncapped player in the Indian Premier League (IPL). For example, Punjab Kings bought Priyansh Arya for Rs 3.5 crore, while he has not even made his debut for India yet. Babar Azam is currently out of Pakistan's T20 International team. Despite this, he is seen as a big player at the international level. But given his current situation, he was not given the maximum amount in the BBL. Babar Azam's popularity is very high in Pakistan and world cricket. Despite this, he is getting relatively less payment in BBL, which may be a bit surprising for his fans. This reflects his current form and position in the team. Sydney Sixers have strengthened their batting by including Babar as an experienced player. They also have batsmen like Steve Smith, due to which the balance of the team looks very good. Now all eyes will be on the strategy and performance of the Sixers in BBL 2025.

Boeing Rival Airbus Reacts To 'Unacceptable' Air India Tragedy
Boeing rival, Airbus, has issued a statement in the backdrop of the tragic Air India crash that left nearly 300 people dead in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad earlier this week. Christian Scherer, the chief commercial officer at Airbus, said safety, not competition, must remain the industry's top priority. "Safety is in everything that we do, so the tragedy in India -- we don't see that in any way, shape or form as a competitive input," Mr Scherer said ahead of the Paris Air Show, the industry's biggest event of the year, as per Bloomberg. "It is, if anything, a reminder to us all that aviation has become so safe that, statistically speaking, every accident is totally unacceptable," he added. Air India flight AI 171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, crashed soon after takeoff from the Sardar Vallabhbhai International Airport on Thursday, killing 241 of the 242 people on board. The London-bound flight was carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members when it crashed -- making it one of the deadliest aviation disasters in a decade and the first fatal incident involving a Dreamliner. Boeing's new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, cancelled his trip to Paris in the aftermath of the tragedy and issued his condolences to the families of the victims, whilst offering help for the investigation. "Safety is foundational to our industry and is at the core of everything that we do. Our technical experts are prepared to assist investigators to understand the circumstances, and a Boeing team stands ready to travel to India," said Mr Ortberg. The cause of the crash remains unknown at this stage, but authorities have recovered the black box, which could provide clues into the ill-fated flight that crashed within seconds of takeoff. Boeing's troubles In recent years, Airbus has edged ahead in the competition against Boeing, with the American company still grappling with multiple crises that predate the Ahmedabad tragedy. Its 737 MAX narrow-body plane has been marred in controversy owing to two deadly crashes and a recent door-panel blowout. Several whistleblowers have also raised concerns about the firm's production standards. John Barnett, a whistleblower who worked for Boeing for more than 30 years before retiring in 2017, was found dead from a gunshot wound last year. In the days before his death, he had been providing evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.
