New international course launched for agri-journalists
The College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences (ACES at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the US has announced a new international education partnership targeted towards agricultural journalists. The new venture is a partnership between the college's Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications (ALEC) programme and the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ), of which the All-Ireland Guild of Agricultural Journalists is a member. The agreement formalises plans to launch a certificate in Global Agricultural Communications, which has been described by IFAJ as 'a milestone initiative' of the proposed James F. Evans Global Center for Food and Agricultural Communications at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The partnership was unveiled recently at a ceremonial signing between ACES dean Germán Bollero and IFAJ vice-president Adalberto Rossi. The certificate – which will be delivered online and available broadly – is being developed by the ALEC faculty and informed by research conducted with IFAJ members. It is being designed with the aim of being globally accessible, career-relevant, and aligned with the needs of agricultural communicators working across languages, geographies, and media platforms. This marks the first time that the IFAJ has committed to an academic collaboration of this scale. The federation voted unanimously to support the initiative, citing the urgent need to prepare communicators to lead in a rapidly evolving, interconnected food system. IFAJ vice-president Adalberto Rossi said: 'This certificate represents an exciting step forward for the global agricultural journalism community. 'By equipping professionals with critical thinking, multimedia skills, and a global perspective, we can raise the bar for agricultural communications worldwide.' The certificate will be among the first offerings of the Evans Center, a newly announced hub within ACES that aims to advance education, research, and leadership in food and agricultural communications. Speaking at the International Seed Federation's (ISF's) World Seed Congress in Istanbul, Turkey on a panel discussion titled 'Battling misinformation and fake news about seeds' on Wednesday, May 21, the IFAJ secretary general Adrian Bell said: 'There's nothing new about fake news, it's been happening for years if not centuries.

Mobile operators pull the plug on Metro 3 network
Mumbai: In a move that left thousands of commuters incommunicado, Vodafone Idea (Vi) and Airtel has abruptly suspended mobile services on Mumbai Metro Line 3, including the newly launched Phase 2A (BKC to Acharya Atre Chowk) and the operational Phase I (Aarey/JVLR to BKC). The disruption began on May 13 without prior notice, despite Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd ( MMRCL ) setting up the required underground infrastructure. Reliance Jio continues to offer limited connectivity — but only at SEEPZ station, where it installed active equipment. For the underground network, MMRCL had adopted a shared In-Building Solution (IBS) model by which a single vendor installs and manages common infrastructure to be used by all operators. ACES was appointed neutral host through a bidding process in March 2024 and installed systems at all 16 operational stations. However, telecom companies refused to join the unified network, citing unviable rates. They offered to provide free connectivity using their own infrastructure until commercial terms were finalised — a proposal not acceptable to MMRCL. Vi was the first to go live when Phase I launched in October 2024 and later extended coverage to Phase 2A, opened on May 10, 2025. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Airtel supported Phase I but did not commission its network on the new stretch. With both providers now offline, commuters face a blackout underground that affects calls, internet access, and UPI payments. "There's no technical constraint. ACES installed all necessary infrastructure. We've issued notices to the telecom companies and are seeking explanations," said a senior MMRCL official. MMRCL has taken up the issue with the department of telecommunications. "This is unacceptable and clearly amounts to cartelisation. Telecom operators cannot abruptly suspend services without warning. There are avenues to resolve such disputes — through dialogue, regulatory intervention, or even legal recourse. This act is akin to a strike by govt employees providing essential services. Such conduct is unbecoming of corporates, who are expected to act with greater responsibility," said Shirish Deshpande of Mumbai Grahak Panchayat. Meanwhile, MMRCL has enabled free Wi-Fi access at concourse level for ticket booking via the MetroConnect3 mobile app, Ticket Vending Machines, Ticket Office Machines, and Unified Payments Interface.

Narayen highlighted that artificial intelligence will amplify creative capabilities and output by expanding human imaginative potential, delivering innovative instruments and viewpoints, enabling unprecedented exploration of concepts. He said, "Given the size and breadth of the creative opportunity that AI unlocks, it's fair to say that India's next growth as an economy will not be in software code but in creativity." Furthermore, he suggested that training AI systems using Indian cultural, linguistic and historical information presents an opportunity to establish "new forms of digital sovereignty". He emphasized, "Models are the foundation and the important part of differentiation and a competitive advantage."
