Centre issues ‘advisory’ to mobile phone manufacturers to include an FM radio receiver in all handsets

Leave a Comment / / Governance Community

The Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has issued an advisory to all mobile phone manufacturers in India, requesting that they make sure that the FM radio receiver function is not disabled in phones sold in the country. This is done in order to clear up any confusion regarding compliance standards regarding the government-backed digital information network, the FM radio. The advisory comes only weeks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched 91, 100-watt FM transmitters to improve radio connectivity throughout the country. The new phone manufacturers who do not already offer the FM radio feature have also been instructed by the Union government to add it to the mobile handsets that will be sold in India. All mobile phone manufacturers and brands are to get an advisory, according to a directive from the Union government to the Indian Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA) and Manufacturers’ Association for Information Technology (MAID). The advisory was issued in response to concerns that certain cell phone makers were omitting the FM radio from their newest models. All phones in the past, including smartphones, have an FM radio built in. The Union governance has insisted that the FM broadcast is a dependable communication system, especially during natural disasters when it acts as an essential link between local government and the general people. Using FM broadcast is also thought to be the most efficient way to spread early warnings and encourage people to take precautions for their own safety. The Centre has also stressed the significance of the huge FM transmitter network and FM radio that are accessible in India, which were crucial in that nation’s attempts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. The network of transmitters with All India Radio has expanded from 524 to 615, covering 73.5 percent of the country’s population. The recently launched FM Transmitters are located in 91 places throughout 84 districts in 20 states. A proposal to place 63 additional FM transmitters across the nation has also been approved by the Centre in addition to the aforementioned. The Centre asserts that the expansion of FM services in rural areas is due to the extensive reach of FM radio service and the accessibility of mobile phones with FM receivers.

Leave a Comment / / Governance Community

India is prepared to upend the current technological order by showcasing its cutting-edge digital infrastructure, which has just become a major economic driver. The Union government reportedly requested international technology experts to evaluate India’s telecom stack in accordance with global standards at the recently concluded G7 Digital and Tech Ministers’ Meeting held in Japan. India highlighted the accomplishments of its major digital programs, including Aadhaar, UPI, and Cowin, at the G7 summit under the direction of Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. Vaishnaw asserted during the conference that the surge of digitization sparked by the Digital India programme has not only assisted in building a robust digital infrastructure throughout the nation but has also aided in its widespread acceptance. The Union minister said on Thursday that India is emerging as a technology powerhouse and is garnering global attention for its growth journey in technological development. He expressed his satisfaction over the increased interest the world has in the Indian technology industry. According to Vaishnaw, India’s success may be due to initiatives like Digital India and Make in India, as well as to its advancements in creating domestic 4G and 5G telecom stack and digital public infrastructure. According to Vaishnaw, there is a lot of interest in finding out more about India’s telecom infrastructure and 5G rollout, which is thought to be the quickest in the world. In a statement made on Thursday, the Union Minister further attributed India’s technological progress to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s innovative initiatives. Vaishnaw, who was representing India at the meeting, presented a presentation on the country’s digital public infrastructure and highlighted how it is being built to offer large-scale solutions. “India is clearly emerging as a technology powerhouse and a trusted partner because of PM Modi ji’s visionary programs like Digital India and Make in India. Today globally, there is a strong interest in learning from India’s growth journey as technology developers,” Vaishnaw said in a statement.

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

Shopify has announced that it will be selling the majority of its logistics operations to the supply-chain technology company Flexport, which will result in a 20% reduction in employment. Over 2000 workers at the company are thought to be impacted by the decision. The company will now be smaller as Flexport will shortly purchase their logistics division, according to a note from Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify, to shareholders and workers. As a result, some of Shopify’s staff would be leaving that day. Additionally, he acknowledged that this was a challenging choice and that he was aware of the terrible impact it would have on certain people. A severance package consisting of at least 16 weeks of compensation as well as an additional week for each year of service at Shopify will be provided to affected employees. According to the memo, they will also continue to get medical benefits, have access to employee support programs, and receive outplacement services during this time. Furthermore, impacted employees will be able to keep the furniture given by the company. The affected employees have been requested by the company to return their work laptops as it is legally required to do so, but doing so will enable them to purchase a new one. All affected employees will also continue to enjoy free access to Shopify’s advanced plan, which will support their future entrepreneurial endeavours. Shopify made job cuts last year throughout the month of July. A total of 10% of the company’s employees were let go, affecting almost 1,000 workers across various industries.

Hence, it has been decided to organise a workshop with industry stakeholders with the participation of the associations of pharma and the medical device sector,” said the invite. The lobby group members are anticipated to start the conversation of implementing TMR on pharmaceutical formulations.
