330 Million Mobile Phones Being Manufactured In India A Year: Govt

By

-

Indian electronics sector currently employs about 1.2 million people nationwide as 325 to 330 million mobile phones are manufactured every year, the government said on Thursday. The country has witnessed rapid growth in electronics manufacturing—from Rs 1.9 lakh crore in 2014-15 to Rs 9.52 lakh crore in production in 2023-24 (with an annual compounded growth rate of 17.4 percent) and 22.7 percent export growth.

On the 10th anniversary of the ‘Make in India’ initiative, S. Krishnan, Secretary, IT Ministry, emphasised that electronics has emerged as one of the most impactful sectors. “Exports from India in the electronics manufacturing sector have also risen substantially from about Rs 38,263 crore in 2014-15 to Rs 2.41 lakh crore at the CAGR of 22.7 per cent. This is also significantly faster than the growth of other export sectors,” he said. In 2014-15, only 26 per cent of the mobile phones which were being sold in the country were made in India and the rest were being imported.

Today, 99.2 per cent of all mobile phones which are sold in India are made in India. “We are manufacturing between 325 to 330 million mobile phones a year in India and on average there are about a billion mobile phones in use in India. We have virtually saturated the domestic market and that’s why you see that there’s a substantial uptick in the exports of mobile phones,” Krishnan informed. The mobile phone export was about Rs 1.2 lakh crore in 2023-24 and the exports have increased 77 times from what it was in 2014-15. In 2014-15, mobile phones export was worth about Rs 1,566 crore which has reached around Rs 1,20,000 crore now. Speaking on the PLI scheme for mobile sector, the Secretary said we have exceeded our overall production target, and have reached Rs 6.61 lakh crore as the total value of production and investment of Rs 9,100 crore, which is again well above the investment.

“The total employment achieved has been 1,22,613, which again is as per the original target of the scheme. So this has been one of the big stories in the Make in India, and today. the electronic sector employs close to about 1.2 million people all over the country,” said Krishnan. Setting up a semiconductor manufacturing base in the country has been the other big part of ‘Make in India.’ With the launch of the India Semiconductor Mission and the five major projects which have been approved, starting with Micron, the two projects by Tata Electronics, the one project by CG Power, and the last project by Keynes, a real manufacturing base of semiconductors is being established in the country.

Communism Has Become Slavery In Kerala: Left MLA Anvar

Communism Has Become Slavery In Kerala: Left MLA Anvar

Left MLA P.V. Anvar on Thursday attacked the Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, saying that Communism has become slavery in the state. “Communism in Kerala is now a mere slavery. No one is allowed to question. Take the example of CPI-M state secretary M.V. Govindan. The present leadership only want to listen to the top brass without allowing anyone to question them,” Anvar said.

He added that the biggest problem in Kerala is that all top political leaders at the top level leadership of CPI-M are hand in glove which is why no case which involves top political leaders will be investigated. “A coterie leads the Chief Minister. Gone are the days when Vijayan was the people’s leader. I have told him on his face that there were times when he was shining like a sun and now in the past three years, his rankings have decreased,” Anvar said. He added that he has informed the Chief Minister that his political secretary P. Sasi and the ADGP (law and order) M.R. Ajith Kumar are not people what he thinks and are part of a group involved in criminal activities.

“Vijayan must order a judicial probe into the 188 gold smuggling cases which he himself told has been registered in Malappuram district. Sasi and Ajith Kumar know everything as it’s the police and not the Customs which are involved,” he said. Anvar said he did not believe when he heard that Ajith Kumar addresses the Chief Minister as ‘uncle’. He added that Vijayan hinted that he (Anvar) is part of the gold smuggling gang.

“I was waiting for the party will correct its way but it did not happen as the state secretary M.V. Govindan failed to say a word about it. I have been part of the Left for the past two decades and not eight years as mentioned by the CPI-M. Vijayan also gave a clean chit to P.Sasi as Govindan said he has known Sasi for the past four decades,” said Anvar. Anvar said he will return again with more documents.

“Looting, Corruption, Getting Bribes”: Old Videos Of MK Stalin Slamming Senthil Balaji Comes Back To Haunt Him

By
The Commune
-

The Supreme Court of India granted conditional bail to DMK leader Senthil Balaji on 26 September 2024 in the cash-for-jobs scam money laundering case.

Due to the unlikely prospect of an early trial completion and his prolonged detention, the Court decided to grant him bail despite acknowledging the existence of a prima facie case against him.

The court also noted that if at all the appellant Senthil Balaji seeks adjournments on frivolous grounds or creates hurdles in the early disposal of the case, his bail would stand revoked.

Welcoming this judgement, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin called Senthil Balaji his “dear brother” and heaped praises on the scam-accused leader saying “Your sacrifice is great! Endurance is greater than that!“, as if he was a freedom fighter.

In light of this, MK Stalin’s own videos of him deriding Senthil Balaji back in 2016 has surfaced.

MK Stalin in the run up to the 2016 Assembly elections had made a blistering attack on Senthil Balaji who was then a Minister in the AIADMK. He said “Senthil Balaji and his brother have the entire Karur district under their control in terms of looting, doing corruption, getting bribes. People living in Karur district are well aware of this. Kidnapping, land grabbing cases are in court. They had brought a ticket vending machine for state transport buses. I was the one to talk about the corruption in that deal with proof in the Assembly. There has been no rejoinder to that. Not just that, an engineering student named Gokul was kidnapped, given death threats, his properties seized. His family went to the court and the case is pending and today there is no clue about where Gokul is.”

In another video, Stalin says “The candidate standing in this constituency on behalf of ADMK, had splurged money, that too scientifically. That too his close friend Anbunathan. Already there was a raid at his home. Recently, there was news of  ₹570 crores being confiscated in Tirupur. We don’t know yet whether it is ₹570 crore or ₹5700 crores, it has not come to light. It is going to come to light. The officers right now are hesitant to take action fearing the powers that be. But Kalaignar won’t leave. Even if Kalaignar leaves him, I won’t leave him. Kalaignar is gracious enough to pardon. His nature is such. But those who have done wrong should not just be warned but punished!”

PM Modi Launches Indigenously Developed Param Rudra Supercomputers

Showcasing India’s technological prowess, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched three Param Rudra supercomputers worth Rs 130 crore and developed indigenously as part of the National Supercomputing Mission. The three supercomputers in Pune, Delhi, and Kolkata have been deployed to support cutting-edge scientific research.

“With Param Rudra Supercomputers and HPC system, India takes significant steps towards self-reliance in computing and driving innovation in science and technology,” PM Modi said while launching the supercomputers via video conferencing. The Prime Minister also launched a High-Performance Computing (HPC) system for the fields of weather and climate. Addressing the scientific community, PM Modi said every sector and industry relies on technology and high-computing capability. He added that in this sphere, India’s share “should not be in bits and bytes but in terabytes and petabytes”. “Therefore, this achievement proves that we are moving in the right direction at the right pace,” said the Prime Minister.

With the PARAM supercomputer, the Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) will boost research in material science and atomic physics in New Delhi while the S.N. Bose Centre in Kolkata will focus on areas including physics, cosmology, and earth sciences. Meanwhile, the Giant Metre Radio Telescope (GMRT) in Pune will use the supercomputer to explore astronomical phenomena such as Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). According to the government, the Param Rudra supercomputer incorporates the latest cutting-edge hardware and software technologies. A significant portion of its components were manufactured and assembled in India.

Param Rudra can handle complex calculations and simulations at a very high speed. These homegrown and developed supercomputers are prime examples of India’s technological advancements. These are used for weather forecasting, climate modelling, drug discovery, materials science, and artificial intelligence (AI) research. The country’s National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) has been set up to provide supercomputing infrastructure to meet the increasing computational demands of academia, researchers, MSMEs, and startups.

Govt Hikes Minimum Wage Rates For Workers, Effective From Oct 1

The government on Thursday announced to increase minimum wage rates by revising the Variable Dearness Allowance (VDA), in a bid to help workers cope with the rising cost of living. The move will support workers, particularly those in the unorganised sector.

Workers engaged in various sectors, including building construction, loading and unloading, watch and ward, sweeping, cleaning, housekeeping, mining, and agriculture within central sphere establishments, will benefit from the revised wage rates. The new wage rates will take effect from October 1. Last revision was done in April this year. The minimum wage rates are categorized based on skill levels —unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled and highly skilled — as well as by geographical area—A, B, and C.

According to the Ministry of Labour and Employment, after revision, minimum wage rates in area “A” for workers in construction, sweeping, cleaning, loading and unloading for unskilled work will be Rs 783 a day (Rs 20,358 per month); for semi-skilled Rs 868 a day (Rs 22,568 per month); for skilled, clerical and watch and wards without arms Rs 954 a day (Rs 24,804 per month); and for highly-skilled and watch and ward with arms Rs 1,035 a day (Rs 26,910 per month) The government revises the VDA twice a year, effective from April 1 and October 1, based on the six-month average increase in the Consumer Price Index for industrial workers.

Meanwhile, retail inflation for industrial workers moderated to 2.15 per cent in the month of July, as compared to 7.54 per cent in the same month last year. The year-on-year inflation for June 2024 was 3.67 per cent as compared to 5.57 per cent in June 2023. The Consumer Price Index-Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) has been steadily declining since February this year and was 3.87 per cent in April 2024, figures compiled by the Labour Ministry showed. The all-India CPI-IW for July 2024 increased by 1.3 points and stood at 142.7, from 141.4 in June.

Delhi HC Seeks Status Of Plea For Cancellation Of Rahul Gandhi’s Citizenship In Allahabad HC

Delhi HC Seeks Status Of Plea For Cancellation Of Rahul Gandhi's Citizenship In Allahabad HC

The Delhi High Court on Thursday deferred hearing on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) moved by senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking direction to the Union Home Ministry to cancel the Indian citizenship of Rahul Gandhi when the Congress leader has “declared himself a British citizen”. Noting that a similar petition to cancel Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship is pending before the Allahabad High Court, a Bench headed by Acting Chief Justice (ACJ) Manmohan remarked that the same issue should not be agitated simultaneously before two different forums in the interest of justice.

The Bench, also comprising Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, asked the Union government’s standing counsel to obtain a copy of the petition, along with the case status, pending before the Allahabad HC. Posting the matter for further hearing on October 9, the Delhi HC said that it intended to doubly make sure that it does not usurp the other High Court’s jurisdiction. The plea filed by Swamy before the Delhi High Court sought direction from the Union Home Ministry to furnish a status report on the complaint/representation he filed against Gandhi and decide it as soon as possible.

In 2019, the BJP leader wrote a letter to the Union Home Ministry on violations made by Rahul Gandhi voluntarily disclosing to the UK government that he is a British citizen and holds a British passport. Swamy said that with this declaration, the Congress leader ceases to be an Indian Citizen in Article 9 of the Constitution, read with the Indian Citizenship Act, 1955.

“A Company named Backops Limited was registered in the United Kingdom in 2003, with address 51 Southgate Street, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 9EH, where Gandhi was one of the Directors and Secretary of the said company. In the Company’s Annual Returns filed on 10/10/2005 and 31/10/2006, your (Gandhi) date of birth has been given as 19/06/1970 and you had declared your nationality as British. Further, in the Dissolution application dated 17/02/2009 of the above referred company, your nationality has been mentioned as British,” said the Union Home Ministry in correspondence to Rahul Gandhi on Swamy’s complaint.

In his petition, Swamy said that he sent many representations to the Home Ministry asking for an update and the status of his complaint, but no action has been taken or intimated to him about the same. “Hence, this petition for direction to Respondent No. 1 (Home Ministry) to furnish a status report on the complaint/representation filed by the petitioner against Respondent No.2 (Rahul Gandhi) and to decide the complaint/representation filed by the petitioner at the earliest and to furnish the conclusion / final order of the complaint/representation filed,” the plea said.

If NC & PDP Succeed In Assembly Polls, It Will Be Success Of Pakistan’s Intentions In J&K : Amit Shah

If NC & PDP Succeed In Assembly Polls, It Will Be Success Of Pakistan’s Intentions In J&K : Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday that if NC and PDP candidates are elected in Assembly elections, it would be the success of Pakistan’s intentions in J&K. Addressing a BJP campaign rally in Chenani Assembly constituency of Udhampur district, he said: “This Assembly election will decide not only the fate of Chenani, but entire J&K. If NC and PDP get elected in these elections, that would be the success of Pakistan’s intentions in J&K.” “If they (NC-PDP) get elected, Pakistan will celebrate, and if Balwant Singh Mankotia (BJP candidate) gets elected, India will celebrate with firecrackers,” Shah said.

Citing NC and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remark that they will get back Article 370 and get back the Kashmiri flag, the Union Home Minister said: “I tell Rahul baba even if his three generations fight for it, article 370 will not come back. Congress, NC and PDP pushed J&K into terrorism for 40 years. Around 40,000 people were killed and 3,000 days were lost to curfew.” The Union Minister said that he had told the Parliament that after the elections, “we will Jammu and Kashmie statehood back. Modiji also said this. Only the parliament can give J&K statehood and Narendra Modi is the leader of the Parliament. Alleging that they (NC-Congress) want to bring back terrorism, he said, “I want to tell Omar Abdullah that despite his desire, we will bury terrorism deep down under the earth and it will never come back.”

Drawing a sharp contrast between the facility given during the tenure of previous governments and the Modi government, Union Minister Shah said: “For 70 to 75 years three families of Abdullahs, Muftis and Gandhis ruled, did you get Rs 5 lakh free healthcare which you are getting now? He promised Rs 10 lakh free healthcare, Rs 10,000 financial assistance to farmers instead of the present Rs 6000, Rs 18000 to the eldest lady of each household and reduction in electric power tariff in remote areas by 50 per cent if the BJP is elected to power.

Slamming the NC, Shah said: “They kept terrorism alive, cinemas were closed and when Farooq was CM, terrorism grew and flourished. Instead of fighting terrorism, he left Srinagar for London to spend holidays there. “For 70 years, these three families made democracy their hostage. We held Panchayat, BDC and DDC elections. These three families gave you 87 MLAs, we gave you 40,000 elected representatives through Panchayat, BDC and DDC elections,” he said. “They created the rivers of corruption, we cleaned them. My helicopter couldn’t land here. It landed at Udhampur. I came by road, the driver told me it would take one hour and I am here in 25 minutes. You have roads like Delhi and Gujarat and these were made under the Modi government,” the Union Minister said.

“NC and Congress say Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru should not have been hanged. Omar Abdullah you may continue to serve Biryani to terrorists, but we will hang them. You want to release terrorists and stone pelters. Only courts can do that and we have made strong laws so that your dream of releasing them will never be realised,” he said. “Former union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said in Maharashtra recently that he was afraid to go to Lal Chowk. Today, I tell Shindeji, come with your grandchildren to visit Lal Chowk and you don’t even need a bulletproof vehicle,” the Union Minister said. “It was a struggle to hoist the Tricolour in Lal Chowk and today every house in Srinagar has a tricolour. Muharram and Janmasthami were celebrated after 40 years in Srinagar,” he said.

“In Chenani, you have today India’s longest Chenani-Nashri road tunnel. Work on Chenani-Wayilu road has been started. Listing the developmental works of the BJP government, he said: “There is Patnitop Gandola project here. Seventy-two lakh families were given free ration, and in Udhampur district, 43,000 gas connections have been given. Dogri was given the status of official language, 23 degree colleges were opened. Students from Chenani don’t have to go to distant places to get education now.” “Abdullahs and Mufti’s continued injustice with Jammu for 70 years, Narendra Modi finished that injustice in 5 years,” he said. He said that Jammu will have an international airport and metro and each year 100 temples destroyed by terrorists will be rebuilt.

“Jammu will have a riverfront, and Ranjit Sagar Ram will have water sports. College students will get Rs 3,000 travel allowance. Students of higher secondary schools will get laptops and tablets to get online education. In remote areas. Kishtwar will have an Ayush herbal park, Udhampur will become a pharmaceutical hub and Jammu will become an IT hub and above all, J&K will be free of terrorism,” he said. Jammu, Kathua, Samba and Udhampur districts of Jammu division and Baramulla and Kupwara districts of the Valley will go to vote on October 1 in the third and last phase of J&K elections. Counting will take place on October 8.

Chess Not Just A Man’s Game: When PM Modi’s Words Of Praise Inspired 9-Year-Old Vantika Agrawal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently hosted India’s young chess players at his official residence over their heroic feat at the 45th Chess Olympiad in Budapest as both the men’s and women’s teams clinched their maiden gold medals. Vantika Agarwal, one of the Chess Olympiad winners, on Thursday recalled her story of meeting the then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in 2012 and how his words left her deeply inspired.

Vantika also said she was elated that PM Modi remembered her birthday. “My birthday was on September 20 and PM sir remembered it. I couldn’t believe he remembered my birthday. When I was 9, he organised a mega event in Gujarat. At that time, I had won two gold medals in the Asian Championships.” “I was felicitated by Narendra Modi ji. It was only then I decided to keep giving my blood and sweat to bring laurels to the nation,” she said. Modi Archive, a popular handle on X, has shared the video.

It also shared an old photograph of the then 9-year-old Vantika Agrawal and her note in which she wrote, ‘Thank you, sir, for motivating me to reach this height.’ The popular handle in an earlier post highlighted PM Modi’s passion for the game as he met the Indian men’s and women’s teams. During his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2009, he made chess a mandatory subject in schools in the Ahmedabad district. He plans to expand this initiative statewide in the following years.

In 2012, to commemorate Swami Vivekananda’s 150th birth anniversary, the Gujarat Chief Minister organized ‘Swami Vivekananda Mahila Chess Mahotsav’, a tournament aimed at breaking stereotypes. More than 3,500 women chess players and more than 1,250 Divyangjans participated in the tournament.

BJP TN Functionary Files Complaint With Andhra DGP Against Parithabangal YouTubers For 'Laddu Pavangal' Video

Tamil Nadu BJP functionary Amar Prasad Reddy has complained with the Andhra Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP), urging the registration of an FIR against ‘Parithabangal’ YouTube channel for inciting enmity and offending religious sentiments through its ‘Laddu Pavangal‘ video.

The BJP leader pointed out a specific statement from the Parithabangal video, which claimed, “Tirupati Laddoo with Beef and Fish Oil will taste superb,” deeming it highly offensive to Hindus and disrespectful of the sacred offering. He also mentioned that the video contained inappropriate references to Chief Minister Chandra Babu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan.

Reddy confirmed the complaint on Twitter, highlighting that while the video was removed, it still insulted Hindu sentiments and could incite communal tension. He has called for immediate action under Sections 196 and 299 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

The video, posted by the popular YouTuber duo Gopi and Sudhakar which was in bad taste was taken down after widespread outrage by the Hindu community. Following the backlash, Gopi and Sudhakar apologised, stating it was meant for humour and not to offend anyone.

Seeman Goes On Anti-Hindu Tirade Over Tirupati Laddu Row, Attacks Andhra Dy CM Pawan Kalyan

Seeman Goes On Anti-Hindu Tirade Over Tirupati Laddu Row, Attacks Andhra Dy CM Pawan Kalyan

The Tirupati prasadam adulteration issue doesn’t seem to arrest Hinduphobic remarks from Dravidianists and their politicians. Now it is the turn of Naam Tamilar Katchi chief Seeman to trivialize outrage over the mixing of beef fat in Tirupati holy prasadam. Seeman dismissed the Tirupati prasadam contamination issue as exaggerated while mocking Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan’s prayaschittam rituals. He reduced the case to a mere adulteration issue, suggesting that swift action against adulteration should end the matter quickly

He asked news reporters, “Where is Sanatana Dharma coming here? What is the problem here? If I was the Chief Minister, I would have taken action against the one who supplied adulterated ghee and changed the contractor. That is all. But they made it such a big issue. Let me ask you something. You drink milk, you consume ghee, where did it come from, where did the fat come from? You consume ghee and milk, but you say you’ll die if you eat the fat from cows? What is your problem? These people have a theory. If I eat beef, I am low caste, the ones who drink milk are intermediary castes, and the ones who drink cow urine are high caste. Only in India will you see milk is wasted (poured), ghee is burnt, and urine is drunk. You will drink urine but will not consume fat.

You could have finished this issue in a matter of 30 minutes – all they needed to do was test the ghee, punish the guilty, change the contractors, test the purity of the ingredients, and move on.”

In response to a question on what he thought about sprinkling cow urine (gomium) in the Tirupati temple premises as a part of the purification procedure, Seeman said, “Are you people respecting or insulting Perumal? Is He someone who will get defiled/unclean for a laddu? Is this politics? There is something you must learn. Those who do politics with caste, religion, and God are someone who will never think about the people. He doesn’t need that. For a leader who thinks about the land, its people will neither have the time nor the need to think about caste, religion, or God.”

When asked about Pawan Kalyan doing the prayaschittam rituals, he said, “Maybe to reduce weight. It is not nice to see the youth grow like that. If it is about God, he must talk directly. He must say it was wrong to adulterate the ghee. Now Jaganmohan Reddy says we must protest against Chandrababu Naidu’s rule, and Naidu says a Christian mixed the beef fat. What is this?”

The reporter then asked about the alleged adulteration in Palani panchamirtham. Seeman said, “I don’t know.”

The reporter then mentioned the arrest of Mohan G who made the allegations.

Seeman said, “It was only an opinion. They should have proved that it was wrong. Someone said there was a rat and then someone else said there was a cockroach. You mixed with ration rice, which is also adulteration. The jaggery that you gave us during Pongal had insects, it even melted. You even justified it saying anyway for making Pongal, jaggery had to be melted and we are facilitating it for you. It is important to see which issue is important for the people. You must also analyze how problematic it is for the people because of the ones ruling. To hide that, they take up this cause. The DMK government diverted that issue by talking about that boy Vishnu. Like that now it is the laddu. This can be acted on in just seconds. The host should not have asked the question to Karthi. He, very diplomatically said that it is a sensitive issue, and people’s feelings are attached to it and should not be spoken of, the host should have kept quiet, but she kept asking him again and again. Listen to the speech, he did not want to hurt anyone. It is not right to get angered by it. Karthi is not at fault; Pawan shouldn’t get angry for all this.”
