Decision on 3-language formula only after talks with stakeholders: Fadnavis

Business Standard

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said a final decision on the three-language formula will be taken only after consultations with all stakeholders, including litterateurs, language experts and political leaders. Fadnavis chaired a meeting at his official residence in south Mumbai late Monday night to deliberate on the issue. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, School Education Minister Dada Bhuse, Minister of State Dr Pankaj Bhoyar and senior officials from the education department were present. The state government last week issued an amended order, stating Hindi will generally be taught as the third language to students in Marathi and English medium schools from Classes 1 to 5. The government had maintained that Hindi would not be compulsory, but mandated consent of at least 20 students per grade in a school for studying any Indian language other than Hindi. During the meeting chaired by CM Fadnavis on Monday, detailed discussions were held on the implications of

Keep learning, question the status quo, RBI Guv Malhotra tells IITians

Business Standard

Never stop questioning the status quo and keep learning because karma largely determines outcomes, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said on Monday as he went down memory lane and shared his thoughts with IIT students. An alumnus of IIT Kanpur, Malhotra also emphasised that trust is the foundation on which any relationship is built, whether it is marriage, friendship, or at the workplace - between the CEO and the employees, or between a company and its consumers. Malhotra recalled his days at IIT Kanpur and sounded nostalgic as he even mentioned his roll number while delivering the address at the 58th convocation of the institute. As a fellow alumnus, roll number 85213, who has experienced life after campus, Malhotra said there are four learnings from his journey -- learning for life, questioning the status quo, pursuing virtuous karma and trust. "Remember that learning is for life. The moment one is not learning, it is a signal that one is not growing; one is not advancing. It is...

FedEx founder Fred Smith, pioneer of express delivery, dies aged 80

Business Standard

Fred Smith, the FedEx Corp. founder who revolutionised the express delivery industry, has died, the company said. He was 80. FedEx started operating in 1973, delivering small parcels and documents more quickly than the postal service. Over the next half-century, Smith, a Marine Corp. veteran, oversaw the growth of a company that became something of an economic bellwether because so many other companies rely on it. Memphis, Tennessee-based FedEx became a global transportation and logistics company that averages 17 million shipments per business day. Smith stepped down as CEO in 2022 but remained executive chairman. Smith, a 1966 graduate of Yale University, used a business theory he came up with in college to create a delivery system based on coordinated air cargo flights centred on a main hub, a "hub and spokes" system, as it became known. The company also played a major role in the shift by American business and industry to a greater use of time-sensitive deliveries and less...

Blocking of Strait of Hormuz may impact India's energy procurement: Experts

Business Standard

Any blocking or disruption of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz -- a narrow passage connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea -- will have significant global and regional impact, including for India's energy security, strategic affairs experts said on Sunday. Following the US bombing of three major Iranian nuclear sites, Tehran has indicated that closing the Strait of Hormuz for shipping is one of the options on the table to pressure its adversaries. Nearly 30 percent of global oil and a third of the world's LNG (liquefied natural gas) passes through the strait daily and its closure would immediately reduce global supplies triggering a spike in prices, they said. The closure of the narrow passage would have significant global repercussions across energy markets and it will impact India's energy security as well, Dr Laxman Kumar Behera, Associate Professor at Special Centre for National Security Studies at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, told PTI. Behera said any disruption
