Soon, use WhatsApp to access 50 Tamil Nadu government services
CHENNAI: About 50 Tamil Nadu government services, including applying for ration cards, nativity and income certificates, payment of taxes, trade licences and booking of tickets in government buses, can soon be done through WhatsApp from anywhere. An AI-powered bi-lingual chatbot (English and Tamil) will ensure that the user is able to get what they are looking for without being rerouted to any external interface through links or other applications, officials said. The Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency (TNeGA) is working to roll out the WhatsApp-based e-governance solution in next three months, sources said. Minister of Information Technology and Digital Services Palanivel Thiaga Rajan had made the announcement regarding the service in the Assembly in April. 'Chatbot uses Generative AI to interpret citizens' request' 'Any form that needs to be filled or document to be uploaded when applying for a service can be done on WhatsApp itself. In case they are applying for documents such as nativity or income certificates, they will be able to download them as PDF files. Payments (the minimal fee charged for different types of services) can also be made through WhatsApp's native payment feature. We are also providing other digital payment options,' said Dr Alby John Vargheese, Chief Executive Officer, Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency. The chatbot will support Tamil and English interactions and through the 'Flow' feature of WhatsApp Business Platform dynamically guide users through services. It plans on tapping into Generative AI to interpret citizens' requests and direct them to the appropriate service.

Trump boasts success of levying tariffs on India
Washington: Boasting about the success of his reciprocal tariff policies, US President Donald Trump said his massive sanctions on India over purchasing Russian oil have 'dealt a big blow' to Moscow. Addressing a briefing in the White House on Monday, Trump said Russia's economy has been heavily impacted by the global pressure stemming from the imposition of US tariffs on multiple countries, many of whom are top buyers of Russian energy and weapons. 'It doesn't help when the president of the United States tells their largest or second-largest oil buyer that we're putting a 50% tariff on you if you buy oil from Russia. That was a big blow,' Trump stated, in a veiled reference to India. 'No one would have been so tough, and I haven't stopped there,' he added. Last week, the US President added an additional 25% tariffs to Indian goods, bringing his sanctions to over 50%, as a punitive measure for New Delhi's purchase of Russian oil. Trump added that Russia had 'tremendous potential to do well,' but claimed that its economy 'is not doing well right now because it's been very well disturbed by this.' India has refused to succumb to the American pressure, with the Foreign Ministry calling the US measures "unfair" and "unjustified", and has vowed to protect its national interests.
