At the event, Aakanksha Thapak - Director ISSO said, "We are delighted to welcome Mrs. Namrata Adani and the Adani Group as part of our shared vision for youth empowerment through sports. Over the years, ISSO has built a structured pathway for international school students to grow through competitive sport -- from grassroots to national and international levels.
With the leadership and forward-thinking vision of Mrs.
Adani, this collaboration is set to further strengthen the ecosystem we've created. Together, we look forward to unlocking greater sporting possibilities and inspiring thousands of young athletes across international schools."
"We are at an inflection point in India's educational and sporting landscape," said Namrata Adani from Adani Group in a statement.
"Through this collaboration, we aim to create inclusive, future-ready institutions where students are empowered to pursue excellence both in the classroom and on the sports field. It is an honour to support ISSO in establishing a structured, globally benchmarked sports culture for international schools in India.
"
ISSO's association with key national and international sports bodies such as the School Games Federation of India (SGFI) and the International School Sport Federation (ISF) has enabled Indian students to compete at the highest levels.
Through its specialised wing, the International Board School Sports Organisation (IBSO), ISSO has helped thousands of students progress to elite events like the SGFI Nationals, Khelo India Games, the Subroto Cup and even the ISF World Championships.
The Adani International School-ISSO collaboration brings a renewed focus on structured, transparent and professionally managed competitions that can also aid global university admissions through robust student-athlete profiling.
This collaboration is set to accelerate the next phase of growth for ISSO--empowering a generation of international school students to excel in both academics and sport and to dream beyond boundaries.

India does not have the economic leverage vis a vis the US that China does
Between December 2022 and July 2025, China accounted for about 47 per cent of all crude oil and 44 per cent of the coal exported by Russia, as against India's corresponding purchase shares of 38 per cent and 20 per cent. Despite that, US President Donald Trump has slapped India with a 25 per cent 'penalty' for buying Russian energy. This rate, to be effective from August 27, would take the total tariff on Indian goods imported into the US to 50 per cent. China has not only escaped such punishment, but has actually seen a lowering of the duty on its goods from 145 to 30 per cent since May 12. On Monday, Trump extended his trade truce with China for a further 90-day period till November 10. At the same time, his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has threatened additional 'secondary tariffs' on India if the outcome of Trump's Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin isn't favourable. This blatantly divergent treatment, further eroding the credibility of the current Western sanctions regime, has significantly to do with relative economic leverage — China is seen to possess much more of it. The most visible demonstration of that was when, in early April, it imposed export restrictions on rare earth elements and magnets that are indispensable, whether for auto, aerospace, defence, semiconductor, renewable energy or consumer electronics manufacturing. China could use its virtual global monopoly over the mining and processing of these critical minerals to bring Trump to the negotiating table. Rare earths apart, China also played the trump card of being a massive buyer of US agricultural produce — from soyabean, cotton and coarse grains to beef, pork and poultry meat — sharply reducing the imports of these to signal its capacity for retaliation in any unilateral trade war. On the face of it, India does not have that sort of economic leverage. Barring, say, pharmaceutical products, much of what it exports to the US — readymade garments, gems and jewellery, frozen shrimps, basmati rice or even steel and aluminium — aren't items for which there are no alternative suppliers. Nor are Indian imports of California almonds comparable to the humongous quantities of Midwest US soyabean and corn that China was, until recently, sourcing to feed its swine and poultry birds. Given how much it stands to lose in any prolonged trade war — the worst-affected industries are also the most employment-intensive — the best approach for India to adopt is strategic patience. What the Indian foreign policy establishment and its trade negotiators should emphasise is the country's importance to global economic and regional stability, which aligns with the US's own long-term interests.

Rubio hails India-US ties as he extends warm wishes on Independence Day
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday released a statement wishing India on its Independence Day. In the statement, Rubio hailed strong ties between the 'world's largest and oldest democracies'. India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington, The meet with Jaishankar was Rubio's first as secretary of state. Image Courtesy: @DrSJaishankar/X Amid strained ties, the US Department of State released a statment, wishing India on its 78th Independence Day. On Friday, the department released a statement hailing the strong ties between the 'world's largest and the oldest democracies.' In his wishes, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that India and the US share a vision in the Indo-Pacific region and a partnership across different sectors. 'On behalf of the United States, I extend our congratulations and warm wishes to the people of India as they celebrate their Independence Day on August 15,' Rubio said in a statement on Friday. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'The historic relationship between the world's largest democracy and the world's oldest democracy is consequential and far-reaching. Our two countries are united by our shared vision for a more peaceful, prosperous, and secure Indo-Pacific region.' 'Our partnership spans industries, promotes innovation, pushes the boundaries of critical and emerging technologies, and extends into space,' the statement further reads. Rubio insisted that both nations should work together to overcome the modern challenges that the world currently faces. 'Working together, the United States and India will rise to the modern challenges of today and ensure a brighter future for both our countries,' Rubio averred. India-US ties remain strong amid tensions India-US ties have deteriorated significantly after Trump announced nearly 50 per cent tariffs on Indian goods. The White House argued that the tariffs were imposed because India purchased Russian oil amid the ongoing Ukraine war, with senior officials in the Trump administration accusing India of helping Russia in the conflict. While economic ties between the two nations have witnessed a strain, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Thursday underlined the importance of defence ties between India and the United States, terming them as a key component of the overall bilateral relationship. 'The India–US defence partnership, underpinned by foundational defence agreements, is an important pillar of the bilateral partnership,' MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a media briefing on Friday. 'This robust cooperation has strengthened across all domains. We are expecting a US Defence Policy Team to be in Delhi in mid-August. The 21st edition of the joint military exercise 'Yudh Abhyas' is also expected to take place later this month in Alaska. Both sides remain engaged to convene the 2+2 Intersessional meeting at the working level towards the end of this month,' he added. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, on the recent Human Rights report issued by the US State Department, Jaiswal reiterated India's strong objection, saying such assessments were 'a mix of imputations, misrepresentations and one-sided projections' that showed 'a poor understanding of India's democratic framework, pluralistic society and robust institutional mechanisms for protecting human rights.' Jaiswal also noted that no decision had yet been taken on whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi would attend the United Nations General Assembly next month.

Chandigarh: Yuvraj dominates round three at Mysuru golf open
Yuvraj Sandhu dominated the proceedings on day three with an eight-under 62 highlighted by two eagles to extend his lead to three shots at the ₹1 crore Mysuru Open 2025. A confident-looking Yuvraj, the leader from round one onwards, moved his total to an imposing 22-under 188. Chandigarh-based Sandhu (61-65-62), the current PGTI Order of Merit leader, is now staring at his third PGTI title of the season. Sandhu landed his tee shot within two feet of the pin on the Par-4 seventh. (HT Photo for representation) Jamal Hossain (62-65-64) of Bangladesh posted a 64 despite missing some crucial putts to continue in second place for the third straight day as his total read 19-under 191. Delhi golfer Arjun Prasad also carded a 64 to move into sole third place at a total of 18-under 192 on another overcast day. Chandigarh's Karandeep Kochhar matched Yuvraj's first round tournament low of 61 to zoom 11 spots to tie fourth place at 17-under 193. Kochhar's round featured an eagle and seven birdies. Italy's Michele Ortolani (63), who fired two eagles on Thursday, also closed the day in joint fourth position. Yuvraj Sandhu began the day by dropping his first bogey of the week on the second. However, Yuvraj came roaring back with two birdies and two eagles on the front-nine. Sandhu landed his tee shot within two feet of the pin on the Par-4 seventh to pick up his first eagle while for his next eagle on the Par-5 ninth. Yuvraj landed his approach within three feet of the flag. The 28-year-old Sandhu, an international winner, then produced five consecutive birdies from the 10th through the 14th thanks to all aspects of his game coming together. At that stage Yuvraj enjoyed a commanding five-shot lead. However, he had a horrid last four holes where he made three bogeys in exchange for a birdie that reduced his lead.
