Builders should achieve global standards in every project: ujarat chief minister Bhupendra Patel
Ahmedabad: Gujarat chief minister Bhupendra Patel asked builders to achieve global standards in every project. He said the focus is to become self-reliant in every sector, with increased emphasis on green cover and rainwater harvesting. He also assured developers that the state govt is ready to bring reforms to decrease disputes in land transactions. In the presence of the CM, the annual general meeting and 'Change of Guard' ceremony were organised by Credai Gujarat in Ahmedabad on Thursday. Addressing the developers from across the state, Patel said, "The world now recognises India's capability to achieve global goals. The infrastructure and real estate sectors are progressing with confidence to tackle any situation. Gujarat govt's infrastructure development policies have made the state's new infrastructure both environmentally friendly and modern. The govt is ready to listen to all representations from the real estate sector while ensuring no undue advantage is taken. Builders must aim for self-reliance in the construction sector with global standards, ensuring every scheme meets these standards and avoiding any incorrect construction of even a single inch." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why More People Are Washing Produce With Baking Soda Read More Undo He also said that with increasing land prices, there are more instances of disputes, so the state govt is open to reforms to reduce such situations.

Indian economy not dead but in ICU, says Abhishek
Kolkata: Wading into the "dead economy" debate, Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Thursday said that the country's "economy wasn't dead but in the ICU" due to flawed policies in the last decade. Banerjee launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the US imposition of a 50% tariff on Indian goods reflected the Centre's failed foreign policy. Banerjee, while leaving for Delhi, told reporters, "Whose failure is this? Who brought (US President) Donald Trump here and campaigned for him in Gujarat just a month before Covid hit? Who went to Texas to campaign for him? BJP politicians held prayers for Donald Trump and his long life. The Prime Minister also campaigned for Trump in 2019 in Texas." "The govt that used to boast about its '56-inch chest' has been snubbed by China, the US, and many other countries. Let alone putting pressure on Pakistan, they did not even issue a statement condemning Pakistan's actions," said Banerjee, who is also a member of the parliamentary external affairs committee.

This is all because of the Centre's poor foreign policy," he added. The Trinamool MP claimed that the Election Commission was acting "beyond its jurisdiction". "The EC's responsibility begins only when the Model Code of Conduct is in place. After that, it can take over the state's civil and criminal/police administrative machinery. But for the past 3-4 months, they have not allowed an elected govt to function. It has been done to give favours and advantages to BJP," he said.

Inside the H-1B visa collapse: Why 2025 is reshaping the future of skilled immigration in the US
What began as a slow administrative tightening has rapidly turned into a storm. The H-1B visa system, long considered the backbone of America's high-skilled workforce, is now buckling under political pressure, procedural overhauls, and growing distrust. In 2025, what was once a predictable immigration pathway is becoming a cautionary tale, especially for thousands of international graduates who thought the U.S. would reward talent with opportunity. Instead, they're facing silence, scrutiny, and shutdowns. Delays turning into breakdowns The U.S. State Department's announcement of mandatory in-person interviews for H-1B applicants starting September 2025 has sent shockwaves through the immigration community. The waiver, introduced during the pandemic to streamline processing, had become a quiet but crucial support for a fragile system. Its revocation means that already overloaded U.S. consulates, especially in India, will now have to accommodate thousands more face-to-face appointments. Wait times, which already stretch into months, are expected to balloon further. Employers are left stranded, hires are postponed or canceled, and skilled professionals are watching their windows of legal stay close rapidly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your IQ Is 140 If You Can Answer 10 of These Questions Correctly. IQ International Undo A broken promise to graduates For international students graduating from U.S. universities, the cracks are devastating. Most rely on the H-1B system to legally remain in the country after Optional Practical Training (OPT). But with increasing denials, delays, and employer reluctance to sponsor, 2025 is turning into a graveyard of aspirations. A system that once advertised 'study here, work here' is now delivering a different message: 'You're on your own.' Political targeting and scapegoating Amid these structural failures, the political temperature has spiked. Prominent figures like Steve Bannon have called the H-1B program a 'scam,' stoking fears that American jobs are being 'stolen' by foreign talent. More recently, a conservative Congresswoman's anti-H-1B posts specifically targeting Indian visa holders sparked outrage across party lines. But the damage was done. The shift is clear. H-1B is no longer just a bureaucratic issue. It is a political wedge. And foreign professionals, particularly Indians, are being painted as convenient scapegoats in a broader ideological war over immigration, trade, and national identity. A silent exodus begins With no guarantees of security or transparency, skilled workers are quietly leaving. Many are opting to return to India, Canada, or the UK, which are seen as more stable and respectful of talent. Others are being forced out after years of study and work due to visa rejections or administrative backlogs. Worse still, some are being flagged for social media posts, peaceful protests, or minor legal technicalities. This is part of a growing wave of "soft rejections" that require no public explanation but achieve the same effect: keeping them out. Alternatives? Few and fragile While cap-exempt options like university jobs or O-1 visas exist, they are neither scalable nor accessible to most applicants. The path for high-skilled, employment-based immigration is narrowing at every turn. There is no new system to replace H-1B. Just silence, gridlock, and growing fear. India's muted response Despite the disproportionate impact on Indian nationals, who typically account for over 70% of H-1B recipients, the Indian government has remained publicly silent. While private diplomatic channels are reportedly active, no strong statement or formal protest has been issued against what many see as a clear targeting of Indian talent. A turning point with long-term costs What's happening in 2025 is not a blip. It is a structural shift. And if left unaddressed, the U.S. risks permanently damaging its reputation as the destination for global talent. Universities will struggle to attract students. Companies will find it harder to hire. Innovation will suffer. The U.S. education-to-employment pipeline, the very engine that powered Silicon Valley, biotech breakthroughs, and global research leadership, is being quietly dismantled. And by the time the alarms are loud enough to hear, it may already be too late. TOI Education is on WhatsApp now. Follow us here . Ready to navigate global policies? Secure your overseas future.
