Top officials see Ajit Doval's visit to Canada & the decision to station liaison officers, as a signal for further steps to curb Anti India elements in Canada!
Senior security observers believe Ajit Doval’s recent visit to Ottawa and the decision to station dedicated liaison officers in each other’s countries mark a clear inflection point in India‑Canada cooperation on security. The new liaison posts are designed to fast‑track intelligence sharing and operational coordination on issues ranging from organised crime and drug trafficking to extremist networks that have targeted India from Canadian soil. With Canada’s own intelligence publicly acknowledging the Khalistani extremist threat operating out of its territory, many in Delhi now anticipate visible action and measurable outcomes over the coming months against anti‑India elements, as both sides test this new, more hard‑edged security architecture.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and his French counterpart Catherine Vautrin will oversee the agreement during the sixth India-France Annual Defence Dialogue, aligning with French President Emmanuel Macron's visit. Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and Safran Electronics & Defence will form a 50:50 joint venture to localize manufacturing, supply, and maintenance of the Highly Agile Modular Munition Extended Range (HAMMER) for Indian Air Force Rafales and Navy Rafale Marines. Already battle-tested in Operation Sindoor against Pakistan in 2025, HAMMER offers high accuracy for ground strikes. This boosts 'Make in India', supports the approved 114 Rafale order, and extends defence ties for another decade.
The Modi government's strategic infrastructure push is rapidly fortifying India's access to Northeast (NE) states, securing the vulnerable Siliguri Corridor "Chicken's Neck" against external threats. Recent Emergency Landing Facility (ELF): On February 13, 2026, PM Modi inaugurated NE's first 4.2-km ELF on Moran Bypass in Dibrugarh, Assam (Rs 99.86 crore, completed 2025). It supports fighter jets up to 40 tonnes and transports up to 74 tonnes, with no central divider for seamless ops—enhancing IAF surge capacity near China border. Underground Rail Corridor: Union Budget 2026 allocates funds for a 40-km tunnel-based rail line through Siliguri Corridor, announced by Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. It bypasses surface vulnerabilities, boosts capacity, and ensures resilient connectivity amid record railway capex. Special NE Funds: MoRTH boosted NHIDCL allocation to Rs 86 billion (from Rs 61 billion) for 2025-26 NE highways; broader schemes like NESIDS (Rs 1,200 crore+ annually) target roads, rails, and defence infra. These moves signal full fortification of mainland-NE links by 2030, blending dual-use assets for security and development.

Her tenure was not just a professional assignment — it was a test of resilience, leadership, and unwavering commitment to duty.
Currently, she serves as Conservator of Forest, Wildlife, Kerala.
Let’s hear the dynamic officer’s latest experience that brought out her best from within, and the ‘commitment knows no gender’ mantra.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the India AI Impact Summit 2026 at Bharat Mandapam on Monday, framing it as a defining moment for India’s emergence as a trusted global AI leader. As the five-day event entered its second day on Tuesday, the venue buzzed with unprecedented international participation.
The expo showcases 600 startups and 13 country pavilions, drawing delegates from over 100 countries and 20 heads of state and government, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Anchored in India’s three “Sutras” — People, Planet and Progress — the agenda emphasises ethical, sustainable and inclusive AI governance. Core deliberations focus on bridging the global digital divide, ensuring AI serves humanity rather than widening inequalities, and creating frameworks for responsible innovation amid intensifying US-China tech rivalry.
On Tuesday, Union Health Minister JP Nadda launched two transformative initiatives: Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare for India (SAHI) and the Benchmarking Open Data Platform for Health AI (BODH), signalling India’s intent to lead in sector-specific AI applications.
Analysts view the summit as a sophisticated diplomatic masterstroke. By convening both Western and Global South leaders, India is positioning itself as a neutral bridge-builder in AI governance — an alternative to fragmented regulatory approaches elsewhere. Indian startups see it as a gateway to foreign capital and collaborations, while international observers praise New Delhi’s “human-first” philosophy as a timely counter to purely commercial or military-driven AI models.
Day-one heavy crowds caused logistical delays, yet underscored massive domestic enthusiasm. Over the next three days, expect concrete outcomes: bilateral MoUs, joint research pacts and commitments to open-source AI tools.
For India, the summit is strategically vital. It accelerates the country’s transition from IT services giant to AI innovation powerhouse, enhances geopolitical leverage and cements its role in shaping equitable global technology norms for decades ahead.

Bank Transfers
HR policies exist only paper. These have no correlation with the employees performance or requirements of the organisation. Bottomline of the PSB's can take a big boost if deserving candidates are given their due and placements and promotions are strictly on the basis of contribution to bottomline and not on the basis of who's who which is mainly the order of the day.

Bank Transfers
These policies are at whims and caprice of powers that be. There are people who are not touched and people who are transferred multiple no of times. There is no uniformity....rules vary according to persons & their connections.

Labour, being a Concurrent subject, Central Government appoints officers from Central Labour Service (Group A), as Asst. Labour Commissioner(C), Regional Labour Commissioner(C), Dy. Chief Labour Commissioner(C), Addl. Labour Commissioner(C) and Chief Labour Commissioner(C) in the office of CLC(C). They perform all quasi judicial duties under all Labour Laws and also crucial for maintaining harmonious Industrial Relations across the country. I'm curious to know why this portal isn't aware of these postings.

Show cause notice to the Bar Council of India for vague and evasive reply
Through four different RTI applications, the complainant sought different information from Bar Council of India such as the Audited accounts of the last 5 years of BCI, Compliance of section 4(1) of the RTI Act, the minutes of meeting of the Trustees, copy of the Income/Expenditure & Balance sheet, copy of the Bar Council of India Pearl Trust, Copies of the inspection report, Minutes of the meeting of the Legal Education Committee of the Bar Council of India etc. The CIC noted the vague reply and delay in responding to the RTI application and directed the PIO to submit a suitable explanation as to why no action should be initiated for the variations in their stance. In the other complaint, a notice was issued why action should be initiated for the vague and evasive reply which has not even been submitted before the CIC. Further in another complaint, the CIC issued a show cause notice Mr. Anil Kumar, PIO, BCI why penalty should not be levied upon him under Section 20(1) of the RTI Act for not furnishing any response.
Comments
The Bar Council of India (BCI) is a statutory body established by the Parliament under the Advocates Act, 1961 to regulate and represent the Indian Bar. The BCI prescribes the standards of professional conduct and etiquettes and also set standards for legal education. If such a premier body fumbles in implementing section 4 of the RTI Act and is served a SCN for imposing penalty, the legal profession is in for a rude shock.
