Mandatory verification for online gamers is being proposed by the Govt

Leave a Comment / / Governance Community

In the recently released proposal of online gaming regulations, the government has suggested a self-regulatory framework, player verification requirements, and physical Indian addresses for online gaming companies. “Self-regulatory bodies will be registered with the ministry (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology) and may register online games of such online gaming intermediaries who are its members and which meet certain criteria,” the notice stated. These organisations will also handle concerns through a grievance resolution process. The proposed revisions are intended to meet the aforementioned need and promote responsible expansion of the online gambling industry. The revised version assumes that any intermediary for online gaming will exercise the due diligence required by the rules, including making reasonable efforts to prevent its users from hosting, displaying, uploading, publishing, transmitting, or sharing any online game that is in violation of Indian law, including any gambling or betting laws. By placing a registration mark on all online games registered by a self-regulatory body and informing users of its withdrawal or refund of deposit policy, method of calculating and distributing winnings, fees and other costs due, and KYC procedure for user account registration, the proposed regulations mandate additional due diligence for companies.

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

As the rollout of the high-speed service unleashes a “compounding impact” on recruiting for both non-niche skills and technical skills, NLB Services predicts that the 5G rollout will increase hiring in the telecom sector in 2023. The need for specialised telecom technology skills increased by approximately 20% in 2022 when compared to 2021, according to a statement from the global staffing and recruiting firm. It predicted that future recruiting demands will not be limited to the telecom industry alone. In order to expand up their service capabilities for 5G, NLB Services predicted that industries like healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and automotive would also look to hire tech talent. Among the most important job profiles in non-telecom sectors are data scientists and cybersecurity specialists. According to NLB Services, “In the last year, there has been a 15-20 per cent rise in demand for technology talent in the telecom and allied sectors, and the trend is expected to create a new record 25-30 per cent in the coming year.” Some of the most sought-after job roles at the moment earning roughly 10% to 12% better pay packages, according to the report, include cybersecurity, cloud computing, data science, and data analytics. It referred to 2022 as a “momentous year” for the Indian telecom industry as the 5G concept started to take shape and “green shoots in the job market.” “Leading telecom players have already rolled out 5G services in over 50 towns across India and are expected to cover most parts of the country in the next two years. This clearly indicates a compounding impact on hiring as well both for non-niche skills and technical skills,” it pointed out. NLB Services is a provider of transformative workforce solutions that was established in 2007.

Ayush aims to open new avenues with ‘SMART’ initiative for quality research in Ayurveda

Leave a Comment / / Health & Wellness Community

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Ayush, the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) and Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) established the “SMART” initiative to mainstream ayurvedic research among teaching professionals. The programme utilises ayurvedic colleges and hospitals to advance scientific research in healthcare-related fields. In the presence of the NCISM president, board of ayurveda, BS Prasad, and other senior authorities, the programme was introduced by the NCISM chairman, Vaidya Jayant Deopujari, and the director general of CCRAS, Rabinarayan Acharya. Until January 10, 2023, eligible institutions may apply for the SMART programme. Through NCISM, the ministry informed all accredited academic institutions and hospitals of the eligibility requirements and the application process. The SMART program’s main goal is to find, support, and promote creative research proposals in the fields of healthcare research, including, but not limited to, obesity, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic bronchitis, dyslipidemia, psoriasis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), osteoarthritis, iron deficiency anaemia, chronic bronchitis, dyslipidemia, and dyslipidemia. NCISM Chairman Vaidya Jayant Deopujari said this about the initiative: “I am confident that this program has the potential to transform clinical research in Ayurveda. It was observed that the research potential of the large community of Ayurveda teachers remains under utilised mostly. Therefore, the ‘SMART’ program will have a deep long term rejuvenating impact on research in the field of Ayurveda and it will be a great service to the nation, I congratulate CCRAS for this initiative and ensure all support on behalf of NCISM.” BS Prasad, head of the board of ayurveda at NCISM, commented on the SMART initiative, saying: “The large network of Ayurveda colleges and hospitals across the country is an asset for the country in terms of its healthcare needs. This network has not only been offering healthcare services in hardest times, but it also has contributed significantly in terms of healthcare research in the country. The ‘SMART’ program will certainly motivate teachers for taking up projects in designated areas of healthcare research and create a large database.”

Leave a Comment / / Governance Community

The Center is going to increase the gross budgetary allocation for Indian Railways by 29%, from Rs 1.4 trillion to Rs 1.8 trillion, in order to support infrastructure development. The entire capital expenditure (capex) for the railway ministry is anticipated to increase 20% to Rs 3 trillion in FY24. The expenditure for FY23 was Rs 2.45 trillion. As the national transporter approaches a crucial stage of delivering important infrastructure projects, a higher capex commitment is urgently required. Last year, the Center increased its gross budgetary support for the initiatives by a record number. We expect it to rise even more, according to a former rail board chairman. Additionally, the ministry has requested that long-term infrastructure projects including high-speed trains, freight corridors, and train modernization receive funding at a higher priority than other projects. The Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project is also set to receive a sizeable amount of funding for FY24. The Vande Bharat Express, which runs between Howrah and New Jalpaiguri in West Bengal, was recently inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In order to modernise, he claimed that the Center was making “record investments.” The upgrading of all stations, electrification, and doubling of train lines are also included in the modernization plans, according to Mint. Tejas Hum Safar, Vande Bharat, and VistaDome coaches are also included. The ministry’s gross budgetary support first surpassed the $1 trillion mark in FY22. With a capex allocation of Rs 2.45 trillion in FY23, the ministry received the largest amount ever. Source: Mint

Tesla warns employees from discussing pay and working conditions

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

The American multinational automotive and clean energy company Tesla is believed to have directed employees not to discuss salary and working conditions, and has thus been accused in violation of US labour laws. The maker of electric vehicles is accused of ordering its staff members not to bring complaints about their salary or other working conditions to the attention of senior managers. The staff are also requested not to talk about their salaries with others. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has been notified of the complaint.  These incidents allegedly occurred between December 2021 and January 2022, according to the complaint. Additionally, it is said that Tesla has instructed its staff to keep hiring, suspending, and firing decisions confidential. The firing of two US-based Telsa employees who complained to the NLRB that they were wrongfully terminated for criticising Musk shows that the company does not appreciate criticism of Musk. According to other reports, two female employees of Twitter filed a class-action lawsuit against the company accusing it of breaching federal and state of California laws that forbid gender discrimination at work. 57% of female employees have been let go by Musk, compared to 47% of male employees. Other grievances against Twitter have also been filed with the NLRB.

Heeraben Modi, the mother of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, passed away in an Ahmedabad hospital today, December 30. When he announced her demise, Prime Minister Modi remarked that a glorious century rests at the feet of God. “In Maa I have always felt that trinity, which contains the journey of an ascetic, the symbol of a selfless Karmayogi, and a life committed to values,” the prime minister wrote in a heartfelt note.” The prime minister added in another tweet, “When I met her on her 100th birthday, she said one thing, which is always remembered that is work with intelligence, live life with purity.” Heeraben, commonly known as Heeraba, used to reside with PM Modi’s younger brother Pankaj Modi in the Raysan village outside of Gandhinagar. During the majority of his trips to Gujarat, the prime minister used to frequently stop by Raysan to spend time with her. Due to some medical concerns, she was hospitalised on Wednesday morning to the highly specialised UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Center. Her condition was said to be improving on Thursday by hospital authorities. In a statement, the Gujarat Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) also stated that Heeraben will soon be discharged. In Gujarat’s Vadodara earlier on Thursday, members of the “Dharmayatra Mahasangh” prayed at the temple and chanted the “Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra” for the “good health” of PM Modi’s mother. The Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath temple committee prayed for Heeraben’s quick recovery earlier in the day. According to sources cited by news agency ANI, PM Modi, who was supposed to travel to West Bengal to officially unveil the development projects, may participate in the events via video conference. PM Modi has reportedly left for Ahmedabad, according to sources. “PM Modi has left for Ahmedabad, flagging off of Vande Bharat train in Howrah, Kolkata & other developmental works of railways and under Namami Gange & meeting of National Ganga Council to be held as per plan. PM Modi may join through Video Conference,”

The goal of a 21st century education is to equip students with the knowledge and abilities necessary to thrive in the modern world while also fostering in them the self-assurance to put those knowledge and abilities into practise. With so much information at their fingertips, 21st century skills are more focused on making sense of it, sharing it, and using it wisely. A comprehensive 21st century education also requires digital integration, yet merely incorporating technology into the classroom will not suffice it. To benefit students, technology must be strategically deployed. This can frequently entail being open to the possibilities given rather than attempting to educate and prescribe the usage of specific programmes because students are becoming more adept users of technology even as they enrol in school for the first time. It is essential to redefine education and the 21st century skills in the New Normal by putting an emphasis on extending the frontiers of knowledge, skill, and employability in order to make students adaptable and in line with industry needs. The ArdorComm Media Group, one of India’s fastest-growing media companies, is here to explore the possibilities for educational innovation, future trends, and the state of the education sector in order to prompt significant discussions & deliberations among key stakeholders in education, technology, and government. With the use of engaging tools and topics that are relevant to their lives, technology has the potential to give students new ways to hone their problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills, transfer them to various contexts, reflect on their own thinking and that of their peers, practise clearing up their misunderstandings, and collaborate with peers. There are numerous such instances of web-based forums where students and their classmates from different countries can communicate, share, debate, and exchange knowledge. But how to implement this internationalization of education or foster the experiential learning pedagogy? How to bring innovation in the teaching learning process in Schools and HEIs? To address these issues and discuss the desideratum in the School & Higher education sector, ArdorComm Media Group, is coming up with: New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023 in Kolkata, West Bengal on 23rd February 2023.
