ICAI holds council meeting in Pahalgam, 1st major gathering since terror attack
In a gesture of solidarity, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) chose the serene valley of Pahalgam to celebrate India's 79th Independence Day, becoming the first national institution to hold a high-level meeting there since the attack on April 22 when terrorists shot dead 26 civilians. ICAI president said "As we celebrate the 79th Independence Day in Pahalgam, our message is clear, ICAI stands united with the Valley."(X/@CM_JnK) The gathering of around 150 members comprising ICAI members and their families served as a beacon of hope for a community still reeling from loss and uncertainty in the aftermath of the April terror attack. The ICAI decided to host its 445th council meeting in Pahalgam from August 12–14, 2025 and its president Charanjot Singh Nanda said it was a conscious effort to rebuild trust and signal a return to normalcy. "As we celebrate the 79th Independence Day in Pahalgam, our message is clear, ICAI stands united with the Valley. Our presence here is more than symbolic; it is a testament to hope, a reaffirmation that normal life will return, and a promise to work together for lasting peace and shared prosperity," Nanda said after hoisting the national tricolour at Pine and Peak Hotel where they celebrated the Independence Day. He said the bookings were done in March for hosting the event in May but had to be postponed because of the unfortunate incident. "The prime minister, the home minister assured the country that it was safe to travel to Pahalgam and therefore, we took the decision," Nanda said, adding he was personally enthused to see Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah leading the campaign for a revival of tourism in Kashmir Valley. "This council meeting was not just an agenda of governance, it was a declaration of courage, continuity, and collective resilience. By bringing our members and their families to the Valley, we wanted to show that the spirit of Kashmir remains unshaken. "Beyond our role in accounting, governance reforms, and economic revival, ICAI is committed to standing firm against the forces of terror, and to being a partner in building a secure and thriving future for this land," he said. Vice President of ICAI, Prasanna Kumar D, said his organisation "is the first institution to visit Pahalgam with its entire senior leadership after the tragic incident. "It is a proud moment to celebrate this Independence Day here. It reflects our commitment to the people of the Valley and solidarity to our armed forces," he said. During various speeches made during the flag hoisting, the ICAI members reaffirmed their commitment to support local livelihoods, encouraging commerce and everyday joys to return to Pahalgam. Earlier on August 12, Abdullah had met the ICAI council members and extended heartfelt thanks for choosing Pahalgam for this landmark event. "Your presence here has a lot of weight… it sends a powerful message of confidence and support. It reflects your belief in this place and reassures our people that better days lie ahead," he said.

India Inc. hails PM Modi's call to empower youth, bolster MSMEs
New Delhi: The country's apex business chamber, the Confederation of Indian industry (CII), on Friday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day call for empowering India's youth, strengthening MSMEs and accelerating the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' mission. 'CII is committed to supporting this journey by fostering entrepreneurship, facilitating market linkages for MSMEs, and enabling the skills and infrastructure needed for a truly self-sustaining economy,' the business chamber said in a statement. The milestone of Rs 1 lakh crore youth empowerment initiative of the PM-Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana, with its Rs 15,000 support for first-time job seekers, has the potential to create large-scale employment opportunities, enhance skills, and open pathways for sustained livelihoods, CII Director General Chandrajit Banerjee said. MSMEs, as the backbone of India's economy, stand to gain significantly from these measures. Increased access to talent, targeted incentives, and a stronger domestic manufacturing ecosystem will enable them to scale, innovate, and integrate more deeply into global value chains. The emphasis on indigenous capabilities, whether in high-tech sectors like semiconductors, defence systems such as the Sudarshan Chakra Mission, or renewable and energy self-reliance, reinforces the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision. "Furthermore, the success of Operation Sindoor reflects India's growing defence capabilities and underscores the imperative of safeguarding national and economic security through enhanced indigenous systems, accelerated development of advanced military technologies, and self-reliance in critical defence infrastructure and supply chains," the statement added.. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a 103-minute Independence Day address from the ramparts of the Red Fort, marked a watershed moment for its sweeping articulation of a self-reliant, strategically autonomous, and technologically empowered nation. Framed as a roadmap to a Viksit Bharat by 2047, the speech blended policy announcements with ideological clarity, underscoring India's transformation from dependence to global confidence. Among the most ambitious announcements was the rollout of India's first Made in India semiconductor chip by year-end, alongside the opening of the nuclear sector to private players. PM Modi emphasised that self-reliance must extend to jet engines, social media platforms, fertilisers, and pharmaceuticals. The National Critical Minerals Mission and the Deepwater Exploration Mission were presented as foundational steps toward securing energy and industrial autonomy, with 1,200 mineral sites under exploration and offshore energy resources being tapped to reduce foreign fuel dependence.

Amid Perplexity AI's offer to buy Chrome, Sundar Pichai Google launches new tool of…, in India, Us and…
Perplexity AI, led by Indian-origin CEO Aravind Srinivas, has made an $34.5 billion (over Rs 302152 crore) all-cash bid to acquire Google Chrome. However there was no reply by Google so far about it. Amid this competition only on Thursday, Google announced that 'Flight Deals,' its new AI-powered search feature within Google Flights, will be launched over the next week in the US, Canada, and India. In a blog post, the company said the tool is aimed at flexible travellers focused on finding the best savings for their next trip. The rollout will happen automatically, with no opt-in required, it added. Google Flights Launches New AI Search Tool The feature can be accessed through the Flight Deals page, or via the top-left menu on Google Flights, the flight search engine that helps users find and compare airline tickets. 'Instead of playing with different dates, destinations and filters to uncover the best deals, you can just describe when, where and how you'd like to travel — as though you're talking to a friend — and Flight Deals will take care of the rest,' it said. Citing an example, it said one can start with searching for something like 'week-long trip this winter to a city with great food, nonstop only' or '10 day ski trip to a world-class resort with fresh powder'. What Will Google's New AI Tool Do? 'You'll see the best bargains available that match your search, including destinations you may not have previously considered,' it said. Flight Deals uses Google's advanced AI to understand the nuances of what users are looking for and identifies matching destinations. Thereafter, it taps into real-time Google Flights data to quickly display relevant, up-to-date options from hundreds of airlines and booking sites. 'We're launching Flight Deals in beta to gather feedback and explore how AI can improve travel planning. But we know you love the original Google Flights, and that's here to stay (in fact, it will keep getting better: we're adding a new option to exclude basic economy fares for trips in the US and Canada),' it said.
