Junior doctors pay tribute, vow to continue their fight
1 2 Kolkata: On Saturday, which marked one year since the rape-murder horror of an on-duty junior doctor, RG Kar Medical College campus resembled a fortress, embedded in layers of security personnel. A large contingent from Kolkata Police and CISF stood guard at the hospital's gate, keeping a vigil on all passing through the gate. Unlike the unrest on Park Street during the Nabanna Abhijan, colleagues from the campus, as well as from other medical colleges and health workers, quietly paid tribute to 'Abhaya'. After a night-long protest gathering at Shyambazar, following a torch rally on Friday, the West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front (WBJDF) gathered at ground zero in the RG Kar campus on Saturday. The candlelight gathering in front of the 'Cry of the Hour' began by paying floral homage to the 31-year-old rape-murder victim. The representative sculpture of Abhaya was installed in the hospital premises by WBJDF in October last year, barely 100m away from the Emergency building where the second-year chest medicine PGT was found raped and murdered.

Post the rape-murder, reports of evidence tampering, corruption, and other irregularities emerged from the campus, leading to the arrest of Sandip Ghosh, former principal, who currently is in judicial custody. While the investigating agencies so far have found only Sanjoy Roy, a former Kolkata Police civic volunteer, WBJDF and most in the medical community believe the involvement of more than one in the crime. Roy was convicted in January this year. The gathering at RG Kar on Saturday said that they will not relent till they are convinced that justice has been served. "It is unfortunate that even after a year of such a crime there is no logical closure of the case," said a senior doctor at the hospital. Members of the Service Doctors' Forum, Medical Service Centre, and Nurses Unit also joined the gathering after marching from Shyambazar. Since morning, the campus was abuzz with junior doctors tying rakhi to all on the campus, including the patients. Similar kinds of raksha bandhan and candlelight vigils for Abhaya were held across all medical colleges in the state. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Experts shed light on rising importance of data during The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling Series webinar
As a part of The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling Series, a webinar titled 'Data-Driven Economics: A New Era' was organised in collaboration with Shiv Nadar University, Chennai. During the webinar, experts discussed the rising importance of data in shaping contemporary economic thought. According to a press release, Pushpa Trivedi, senior professor and head of the Economics Department at the School of Science and Humanities, Shiv Nadar University, Chennai, explained various forms of data and emphasised the value of integrating economics with data science in academic programmes. 'Traditionally, theory comes first, followed by analysis and conclusions. But today, with the abundance of data, sometimes theories can emerge directly from data patterns,' she said. Soumyadip Roy, associate professor and in-charge director at UNext Manipal Academy of BFSI, Bengaluru, spoke about the growing role of data in today's world. 'In the way the world is evolving, working with data is no longer optional — it is an essential skill,' he said. Mr. Roy, while speaking about the future of jobs in the BFSI sector and the influence of AI, said, 'It is a blend of multiple disciplines, but there is still a crucial need for the human element.' He also stressed that graduates must combine technical skills, domain expertise, and effective communication to stay relevant in the industry, the press release added.
