    GBU Launches Innovative Research Course on AI Integration (Dec 3-13)

    Gautam Buddha University (GBU) started a special 10-day research course on December 3, 2024, and it will run until December 13, 2024.

    The course will teach how to use artificial intelligence (AI) in research. Prof. Shweta Anand, the Course Director, said this course is a great chance for students and researchers to improve their skills and learn new methods. “We are excited to have experts from all over India to share their knowledge,” she mentioned.

    Prof. R.K. Sinha also spoke, saying that this program shows GBU’s dedication to high-quality education and research. He expressed that, with ICSSR’s help, they want to give a great learning experience to all participants from different parts of the country.

  • Jay Shah’s ICC Role Opens BCCI Secretary Spot: Who’s Next?

    Jay Shah’s ICC Role Opens BCCI Secretary Spot: Who’s Next?

    Jay Shah has become the youngest chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), starting his job on December 1. This means the position of secretary in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is now open. People are curious about who will replace him. After a rule change in 2022, the secretary now holds a lot of power in the BCCI, overseeing both cricket and business matters, with the CEO reporting to him.

    Shah was elected to the ICC role without competition in August, but many are still talking about how the BCCI will handle this change. Potential candidates to take over Shah’s position are Anil Patel from Gujarat and the current joint secretary, Devjit Saikia. There’s also some talk about Rohan Jaitley, the president of the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA), but that’s just gossip for now.

    A BCCI administrator said that it’s likely Saikia will serve as the interim secretary for now. He explained that there are daily issues to resolve, and whoever steps in needs to understand how the BCCI works. When an elected officer resigns, the BCCI has 45 days to hold a special meeting and choose a new one. From when Shah started at ICC, that gives the board until mid-January to make a decision.

    The BCCI must also hire an electoral officer at least four weeks before the election. A senior official from a state unit said there’s plenty of time to make this change. They also added that this process should have started already since the new secretary needs to sign most documents. This issue should have been discussed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in September, but nobody really talked about it. Another person mentioned that there’s a lack of leadership at the BCCI right now.

    The current officers’ three-year term ends in September next year, meaning the new secretary will only be in charge for about a year. Lastly, it remains unclear who will represent the BCCI on the ICC board, a post that Shah also held. Roger Binny, the BCCI president, is among the alternate directors, while Arun Dhumal, the IPL chairman, represents India on the ICC’s Chief Executives’ Committee.

  • Supreme Court Questions Uttar Pradesh’s Harsh Gangster Act in Ongoing Case

    Supreme Court Questions Uttar Pradesh’s Harsh Gangster Act in Ongoing Case

    On Wednesday, the Supreme Court said that the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act seems very harsh. This statement came while they were looking into a case of a man who disagreed with a May 2023 ruling from the Allahabad High Court, which turned down his request to stop the ongoing legal proceedings against him in a Kasganj district court. The Supreme Court judges, Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan, said they would examine the case further after admitting the appeal.

    Last November, the Supreme Court had already asked the Uttar Pradesh government to respond to this situation and told them that no serious action could be taken against the man while they were looking into it. The man’s lawyer argued that he was being unfairly charged under the 1986 Act for illegal mining in the Ganga River. He pointed out that he had been accused twice for the same thing.

    The state’s lawyer referred to the 1986 Act, suggesting that it needs proper consideration. The Supreme Court mentioned that there is also a separate case about the constitutionality of some parts of this Act, which they will review. The man’s lawyer stated that he was wrongly accused and that the charges against him were based only on another case where his name wasn’t even mentioned. On November 29, the Supreme Court decided to look at the separate matter regarding the Act’s rules and asked the Uttar Pradesh government for its opinion.

  • IndiGo Sues Mahindra Over ‘BE 6e’ Name: What You Need to Know

    IndiGo Sues Mahindra Over ‘BE 6e’ Name: What You Need to Know

    IndiGo, India’s biggest airline, has decided to take legal action against Mahindra Electric for naming its new car “BE 6e”. The airline claims that “6E” is their unique identifier, which they use for many services. These include things like 6E Prime, which gives customers perks such as choosing their seats, priority check-in, and free snacks, and 6E Flex, which allows passengers to change their flights anytime without extra charges.

    IndiGo filed the lawsuit on December 4, 2024, and the case will be reviewed on December 9. Interestingly, Justice Amit Bansal has stepped aside from the hearing.

    Mahindra has expressed a desire to discuss this matter with IndiGo. According to Sandeep Sethi, the lawyer for IndiGo, the airline registered the name “6E Link” in 2015 to protect their brand.

    On the other hand, Mahindra registered “BE 6e” on November 25, 2024, allowing them to use “6e” for many types of vehicles, not just cars.

    The Mahindra BE 6e is a sporty compact SUV set to hit the market in February 2025, priced at around ₹18.90 lakh. It will compete with other electric vehicles like the Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, and the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV.
