The aporoach of India and Pakistan in Sino-US relations is diametrically opposed. India is the chief beneficiary of estranged Sino-US relations. India through it's effective media, diplomacy, academia and influential diaspora projects China as a major threat to the US interests in the region and abroad. As a result, secures political, military, economic and technological support; demonstrating itself as 'advance guard', protecting US interests. Whereas, Pak has always been playing positive role in bringing both powers closer to each other to a win-win situation for all stakeholders. Pak believes in engagement between both powers not estrangement. Pak believes in collaboration between both powers not confrontation. Pak believes in an early end of trade, tariff, tech and economic wars.

Join Prof. Mrinal Kaul, Assistant Professor of Indian Philosophy, IIT-Bombay, as he delves into Abhinavagupta’s revolutionary concept of ‘absolute non-duality’ (paramādvaita)—a principle that harmonizes the seemingly opposing ideas of duality and non-duality. Discover how this unified meta-category of non-dual consciousness bridges binaries, emphasizing inclusivism and pluralistic forms of singular consciousness. Explore connections to modern ideas like pluralistic non-dualism and subjective pluralism, and uncover the relevance of Abhinavagupta’s philosophy in today’s world.

Congratulations to Prof. Tamalika Koley, Assistant Professor, Decision Sciences, IIM Lucknow, on the publication of her co-authored research titled, ‘Assessment of flood damage severity, economic growth dynamics and relief fund allocation in the districts of Bihar: A non-parametric approach.’ This study analyses the impact of recurrent floods in Bihar from 2001 to 2022, revealing significant damage patterns, economic setbacks, and ineffective relief fund allocation. Key findings highlight districts like Madhubani and Darbhanga as severely affected, with a negative correlation between flood risk and economic growth, offering insights for more efficient flood mitigation strategies.

The BJP's near-majority in the Lok Sabha elections presents a masterclass in high-stakes negotiation. This scenario offers rich insights for negotiation enthusiasts. BATNA and the Rule of 3: Effective negotiators explore multiple alternatives. For the BJP, this means identifying at least three potential BATNAs: securing support of the independents could be one. This strategy ensures flexibility and maximizes leverage. Reservation Price: The BJP's reservation price is the maximum they're willing to offer—ministerial positions, policy concessions, or other incentives. Knowing this threshold will help secure support without overcommitting, balancing between gaining allies and maintaining strategic control. How this negotiation unfolds over the next few days will be fascinating to watch. #negotiation #politics #BATNA

IIM Mumbai has been accused of manipulating data to improve their NIRF Rankings. The practices mentioned in the article are quite common in many other places. IIM Mumbai went from 29th position in 2019 to 6th position in 2024. This shows that any university that has made considerable jumps in the rankings must be thoroughly investigated and audited! Manipulation of Data is one of the biggest problems of NIRF, even according to India Research Watch (IRW) survey. NIRF has no mechanism to verify the self reported data by universities. All kinds of manipulations are done to improve scores in faculty student ratio, faculty quality, project funding, student strength, diversity scores.. What's sad is that it's again the whistleblower who is suffering the consequences, not the institute allegedly involved in the scam. High time that NIRF is reviewed and institutes audited to ensure they are not submitting fake data. If they are they should be banned from rankings for 5 years!

#NEP #HEI #ManagementEducation #Leaders While established Universities are adjusting to the newer patterns/formats and structures laid down by NEP 2020, young institutions are zipping to revamp complete systems. As announced by UGC in 2023, we are seeing the collaborations and setting up of foreign Universities on Indian soil. Recently Ext Affairs Min S Jaishankar handed over LOI to representatives of University of Southampton which is opening it's first campus in India shortly.. A great step indeed. “UK's University of Southampton has become the 1st foreign univ to set up its offshore campus in India under the new National Education Policy and shall be active by July 2025” (ET,29/8/24) . Expected to start its academic programmes in business and management, computing, law, engineering et al, British Council is looking up for bright a future. Wanting to attract the talent pool of Indian students, helping placements and a student exchange program and opportunities for cross cultural learning forms the core reason. Though between 2019 to 2022, there has been a significant rise in students going to UK for studies, there is clearly a reduction in number of Indian students wanting to study in UK in 2024. The reasons could be geo-political, conflicts, insecure future and pre-dominantly, change in government rules out there. Apparently, a crackdown by the UK government on granting Visas in 2023 have created an incredible impact. Is this therefore a DTH strategy that the Brits wish to adopt ? International students take back much less than what they give to UK is a proven fact. In such circumstances, are they taking a calculated risk by initiating setting up of Universities in India ?  Studying in the foreign land versus studying in a foreign University in India, will it be equivalent – socially? So much can be said on this. Next, what happens to the stamp of a foreign land, living and studying the cultures and getting fresh perspectives on a foreign land? Clearly, I see a new sub segment arising here who would want to enjoy the perks of a foreign university, living closer home and with lesser risks ( pre-conceived ones mostly). It all depends on the courses, faculty, fee structures, degrees and placements offered, along with the Brand Value of the University  – almost same reasons why any student selects a specific educational institute across the globe. A new competitor and game changer is on the anvil with a possibility of high success ratio. Institutions are no more centres of knowledge dissemination alone. But, is adopting and adapting to western systems the only way of being ahead or is it more important to have better and innovative educational systems based on our own requirements? Why not strengthen and provide better education systems at indigenous levels instead? Are we truly going to become the Knowledge Centre of the world ? If this news has not made your organisation leaders to sit up and think, it's time one should better do it!

Hon'ble MP raised an important issue in the parliament yesterday regarding AI policy- steps to adapt and steps to contain. This is an important discussion to be held at the national level. In the recent IMF’s Artificial Intelligence Preparedness Index (AIPI) report, India stands at 72nd position with a 0.492 score, where the first 3 positions are taken by Singapore (0.8), Denmark (0.778), and the US (0.771). Why Hon'ble MP's Point of view is critical because, AI could endanger(will be affected by AI, replacing some and complimenting others) - 33 percent of jobs in AEs (Advanced Economies) - 24 percent in EMs (Emerging Economies- India comes under this category) - 18 percent in LICs. (Low-Income Countries) Overall, 40 percent of the jobs around the world Across the world, AI is slowly shifting from academia's hand to industry. Until 2014, only Academia produced ML models; however, by 2022, the Industry produced 22, and Academia only 3. Last year, in 2023, the industry was 51, and academia only had 15. 21 notable models. Industry-academia collaborations in 2023 – Industry is driving AI! Hence, As MP was lauding internship policy by the top 500 enterprises and beyond in the future, makes sense. Why India is strategic in terms of AI adoption because if you see GitHub AI projects across the world,- 2011 (1536), 2022 (3.4L), 2023 (1.8 mn) from the contribution side, in 2022- India (24.2%), EU&UK(17.3%), USA(14%). We have a huge potential to get skilled in this. However, there is a worry from the AI patents side- from 2021 to 2022, AI patent grants worldwide increased by 62.7%. Since 2010, AI patent grants increased 31X. In 2022, China was 61.1%, whereas the US was 20.9%. Since 2010, the U.S. share decreased by 54.1%. This is going in China vantage. One Good advantage India can pull in this game is to provide DATA. As you all know, Indian data is much more open than in China. The disadvantage of current LLMs providers - Future Gen AI Scientists will run out of data to further scale and improve their models in a few years; Synthetic Data training suffers from low-quality output! Hence Data is more important to increase the advantages of AI. India AI Data Mission is to be established, and we will have the edge to counter patents!!! Indian Higher Ed Universities should not shy away from introducing CoPilots for pair programming in the academic curriculum. Because, in the future, co-pilots will surpass human performance. In the recent test, 95 Developers were distributed between 2 groups- with No Copilot 70% Completion Rate and 161 minutes; whereas with CoPilot, 78% Completion Rate, 71 Minutes (56% Less time)!! This skill is as good as giving competitive coding on the campuses. Similarly, HumanEval, a benchmark for evaluating AI systems’ coding ability, 164 challenging handwritten programming problems, AgentCoder scored 96.3%. This discussion is a need of an hour!
