N. Raghuraman's column: Soon we will use more 'talking' technology instead of 'typing'

February 03, 26 Vadodara Live

So far, you and I have been complaining that most of us keep typing something or the other on the road, on the train or in public places, with our eyes fixed on the mobile screen. But don't worry, the AI has heard your complaint. People will now look you in the eye and keep talking. Hey, don't panic. They will not talk to you, but only with their phones. Now people are not talking to anyone else on the phone, but dictating their mobile — taking notes like a secretary and sending them to the people they want. Now imagine that you are traveling in a packed local train in Mumbai and everyone is

Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain's column: Pakistan itself does not want to end the root of terror

February 03, 26 Vadodara Live

Pakistan seems to be entering a period of internal turmoil once again. It repeats the familiar pattern of the past, but this time it is unfolding during far more difficult regional and economic conditions for us. Clashes involving Baloch insurgents and Islamist militants have led to a large number of deaths and damage to security forces in the past. Such incidents are not isolated. On the one hand, the Baloch Liberation Army has renewed its insurgent campaign in Balochistan through direct clashes with the Pakistan Army. On the other hand, the recent military raids in Harnai and Panjgur appear

Binnaguri is a place spread over about 52 km between Madarihat-Nagarakata section in Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal. The area is known for its dense population of elephants, which roam through the forests of Chapramari and Gorumara and often cross the railway tracks to get to seasonal movements and tea gardens. This is not the only locality, but there are many such places in eastern India. Eight elephants died after colliding with the Sarang-New Delhi Rajdhani Express on 20th December 2025 in Hojai district of Assam, taking the number of elephants killed on railway tracks to 90.

N. Raghuraman's column: Money and sacrifice can never be weighed equally

February 01, 26 Vadodara Live

Many years ago, I decided to give my parents' flat to my sister. When this was questioned, I said it was a sincere acknowledgement that it was the sister who took care of the father when he was seriously ill. Like most families, there were two types of siblings in our family – a 'satellite child', that is, a successful, distant sender. And the other 'Ken Child' – my sister – who took my father to the hospital several times and took care of him till the end. At the same time, his health also deteriorated, whose problems remain to this day. Earlier this week, I was reminded of this small p

Coal production and utilisation in India

January 28, 26 Vadodara Live

ndia has set itself a net zero emission target by 2070 and power generation will be led by non-fossil fuels like solar, wind or nuclear. But coal production and utilisation will continue to be robust in the economy, as the red herring prospectus of Bharat Coking Coal indicates. The supply gap is expected to narrow by 2035 as mines and production will match demand. Even though power, the largest end use of coal, is expected to show marginal growth, demand from steel, cement, and other industries utilising coal for captive-power use is expected to drive demand. Coal prices, on the other hand, ha

Weak Cities, Fragile Dreams: Why India’s Vision 2047 Rests on Urban Empowerment

December 29, 25 Alpesh Maradiya

India’s aspiration to become a developed nation by 2047 is ambitious, emotive, and politically powerful. It invokes images of prosperity, global stature, technological leadership, and improved quality of life for citizens. Yet, beneath this optimism lies a structural contradiction that threatens the very foundation of this vision: India’s cities, which will carry the burden of development, remain institutionally weak and politically marginalised. Development in the twenty-first century is urban-led. By 2047, more than half of India’s population will reside in cities. These urban areas

April 09, 25 Alpesh Maradiya

Delhi stands at a pivotal moment in its urban journey. As the city continues to grow in population and economic significance, it also faces a growing set of environmental challenges that cannot be overlooked. Recent studies and climate assessments have shed light on both the scale of these issues and the urgent need for more coordinated, sustainable urban planning. Air pollution remains one of Delhi’s most visible environmental concerns. According to recent data, pollution levels frequently exceed the World Health Organization’s safety limits, affecting both public health and quality of

November 23, 22 Vadodara Live

Today I will tell you about Satyendra Jain, you must have heard the name. Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain, who has been in jail for the last four months. Delhi's Health Minister and Aam Aadmi Party's star. Kejriwal's left- or right-hand leader has not been granted bail till date even after filing a petition in the Supreme Court.
