IIM-Mum proposes satellite campus with UG & PhD courses
Mumbai: The premier IIM-Mumbai has sent a proposal to the state govt on setting up a satellite campus in or around Mumbai. The proposal, which emphasises on world-class educational infrastructure for finance and technology, was made as part of the Viksit Maharashtra 2047 initiative for which govt had sought recommendations from academicians in state institutions as well as from central institutions in state, such as IIT, IIM and NIT. The proposal, sent by IIM-Mumbai director Manoj Tiwari, said the satellite campus can offer undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD courses in economics, accounting and finance, technology and data science, with law and regulation, where each discipline can have a synergetic relationship with one or more. The campus can collaborate with other leading institutions and financial organisations in the country and abroad, it added. The proposal listed BS and MS courses, adding that offering UG, PG and PhD courses will allow the institute to participate in global academic rankings and research networks. In line with NEP 2020, the document emphasised the need for flexible, multidisciplinary education and strong research ecosystems. The proposal said a world-class institute with the IIM tag could draw top-tier academics, regulators, investors and entrepreneurs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Pointing out that the city is home to regulatory bodies such as RBI, Sebi, BSE and NSE, and serves as the headquarters of major public and private sector banks, and mutual funds and insurance companies, it said establishing a world-class institution in finance and technology in Mumbai would anchor the country's leadership globally in digital finance, besides bridging the talent-policy-research gap.

On the Viksit Maharashtra 2047 vision document, Shailendra Deolankar, director, higher education, said the higher education sector is very comprehensive and dynamic and input should, therefore, not be confined to a few state experts. "The department is, therefore, seeking recommendations from state institutions, central institutions, all stakeholders, parents and even the public."

Bihar: Liquor mafia Rahul Yadav arrested after encounter in Siwan
In a major breakthrough under 'Operation Langda', Bihar Police and the Special Task Force (STF) arrested notorious liquor mafia Rahul Yadav after a brief encounter in the Jiradei police station area on Monday. The operation, aimed at cracking down on illegal liquor networks and hardened criminals, marks a significant success for law enforcement in Bihar. According to an official spokesperson of Siwan Police, Rahul Yadav sustained bullet injuries in his leg and hand during the encounter. He was initially admitted to Siwan Sadar Hospital, but due to the severity of his injuries, he has been referred to PMCH Patna for advanced treatment. The incident occurred early Monday morning when a joint team of the Siwan Police and STF attempted to intercept Rahul Yadav following a tip-off. A chase ensued, culminating in a gun battle between the two sides and eventually the joint team apprehended the accused. Police officials have identified Rahul Yadav as a prominent figure in Bihar's illegal liquor smuggling network. He is allegedly the kingpin of a wide-ranging network that operated in North Bihar despite the state's prohibition laws. SP Manoj Tiwari of Siwan Police confirmed that multiple serious criminal cases are already registered against Yadav. In addition to liquor-related offences, he is also an accused in an attempt to murder case involving a man named Sunil Kumar, for which an FIR was previously lodged. This action falls under Operation Langda, an ongoing mission by the Bihar Police to root out liquor mafias and habitual criminals. 'There is no room for liquor mafias or any criminal elements in Bihar anymore,' said a senior police official, adding that 'strict action will be taken against anyone found violating the law.' The joint team has recovered a pistol, two live cartridges and two spent bullets from his possession. Locals in Siwan have expressed support for the intensified police action, noting that the growing nexus of illegal liquor trade had long plagued the area.

For Second Straight Day, Row Over Bihar Electoral Rolls In Parliament
New Delhi: The row over Bihar's voter list revision snowballed in parliament today as the government refused to answer the Opposition's queries, arguing that it is not competent to do so since the Election Commission is conducting the exercise, sources said. The government said it cannot answer on behalf of the poll body and questioned how, in such a situation, can the issue of revision of voter list be discussed. The Opposition, not ready to accept the argument, demanded an answer. For the second day in a row, the leaders continued their protest at Parliament's Makar Dwar, demanding that the revision exercise be halted. The controversial Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar and Operation Sindoor have been among the key issues on which the Opposition aimed to get a response from Prime Minister Narendra Modi during this session. But while the government has agreed to a 16-hour debate on Operation Sindoor, it flatly refused to discuss the electoral roll revision today. The poll body has claimed the voters are satisfied with the exercise and assured that there will be time to tweak the lists and include anyone who need to be included. The poll body has also claimed that the Special Intensive Revision or SIR is its constitutional duty. In court, where the matter is pending, it has argued that the entire process is being conducted in a consistent and jurisdictional manner. The Opposition parties have contended that the revision is merely a ploy to pick and choose voters. And they have become more vocal after the Election Commission, with days to go before the draft Electoral Rolls, declared that 52 lakh names did not make it to list. The Commission has said these names include those who have died, migrated or had names in two constituencies, the Opposition has refused to relent. Today, Congress's Manoj Tiwari said, "never before have so many names been removed before an election. This is an attempt by the BJP to murder democracy, like in Haryana and Maharashtra, we will knock on every door against it". The party's senior leader Gaurav Gogoi said the Election Commission is "doing the work of (vote-bandi) banning votes in Bihar". "It can only be done with the consent of PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. We want PM Modi to participate in the discussions of SIR, and he should inform us when the discussions on Operation Sindoor and SIR will take place," he said.
