Centre unveils Rs 2.3 crore startup challenge to boost renewable energy innovation
New Delhi: The government on Saturday launched an innovative 'Start-Up Challenge' with a total prize pool of Rs 2.3 crore to accelerate rooftop solar and distributed renewable energy innovations in the country. The selected innovators will compete for Rs 2.3 crore, including Rs 1 crore for first prize, Rs 50 lakh for second prize, Rs 30 lakh for third prize, and 10 consolation prizes of Rs 5 lakh each. Last sate for application is August 20 and the result will be announced on September 10. Winners will also gain incubation support, pilot implementation opportunities, and mentorship from domain experts and investors, facilitated by MNRE and NISE, according to a Ministry of New and Renewable Energy statement. The unique national innovation challenge aims to identify and support breakthrough solutions for India's rooftop solar and distributed energy ecosystem. It is being implemented under the aegis of MNRE with support from the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE), and in coordination with StartUp India, DPIIT. The Start-Up Challenge seeks applications from innovators and startups in India, focusing on four key categories to boost renewable energy adoption. These are affordability – making rooftop solar affordable for low- and middle-income households using innovative financing, modular systems, and circular economy strategies. Resilience is another category, to enhance climate resilience, grid stability, and cybersecurity in solar infrastructure, especially for vulnerable and remote areas. Inclusivity – expanding access to underserved communities through community solar, virtual net metering, and inclusive financing models, and 'environmental sustainability' – promoting eco-friendly technologies such as solar panel recycling, land-neutral solar deployment, and hybrid clean energy models, are the last two categories. The challenge welcomes a wide range of startups in green tech, IoT, AI, blockchain, construction, energy hardware, fintech, and waste management.

Rahul Gandhi slams 'Make in India', says 'we assemble, import, but don't build. China profits': 'Clock is ticking'
Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi stated the 'stark truth' that India 'assembles, imports but don't build. China profits", cautioning that the 'clock is ticking'. While slamming "Make In India", he lashed out at PM Modi, saying he has 'surrendered with no new ideas". Gandhi visited Nehru place, largest electronics market in Delhi and met two mobile repair technicians Shivam and Saif where he discussed the building of components in India and China. The 8 minute 33 second video begins with Gandhi saying 'People don't know the difference between 'Made-in' and 'Assembled-In'. They think both are same. Until India gets itself into manufacturing, it will be left behind. China has complete control over the mobile and laptop manufacturing industry." He questioned, ''Make in India' promised a factory boom. So why is manufacturing at record lows, youth unemployment at record highs, and why have imports from China more than doubled? 'Make in India' promised a factory boom. So why is manufacturing at record lows, youth unemployment at record highs, and why have imports from China more than doubled?' Gandhi criticised the effectiveness of the "Make in India" initiative, emphasising that manufacturing in the country has fallen to a record low of 14 per cent of the economy since 2014. "Even the much-hyped PLI scheme is now being quietly rolled back," he added. Congress MP called for a 'fundamental shift', which 'empowers lakhs of producers through honest reforms and financial support'. He mentioned, 'We must stop being a market for others. If we don't build here, we'll keep buying from those who do." The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme is a flagship initiative by the Indian government aimed at strengthening domestic manufacturing, attracting investments, and enhancing the global competitiveness of Indian industries in strategic sectors. It was part of the larger Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) initiative and launched in 2020. Under this scheme, companies receive financial incentives for boosting the production and sales of designated products. The broader objectives include positioning India as a global manufacturing hub, reducing reliance on imports, and generating employment opportunities. It covers Automobiles and Auto Components, Advanced Chemistry Cell Battery, Electronic/Technology Products, Pharmaceuticals, Telecom and Networking Products, Textiles and Apparel, Food Products among others.

Meet man, Mukesh Ambani's 'right hand' who quit top post at Reliance with Rs 750000000 salary to become monk, his name is...
Meet man, Mukesh Ambani's 'right hand' who quit top post at Reliance with Rs 750000000 salary to become monk, his name is... Prakash Shah was once a top officer at Reliance Industries and a close and trusted aide of Mukesh Ambani. He lived a life filled with success, respect, and luxury. As Vice President of Reliance's Project Division, he was part of many big projects, including the Jamnagar Petcoke Gasification Project. He reportedly earned around Rs. 75 crore every year. But after many years in the corporate world, Prakash Shah made a surprising and bold choice – he decided to give up all his wealth and comforts to follow a spiritual path. A strong educational and career foundation Prakash Shah completed his graduation in Chemical Engineering and then went on to do his post-graduation from IIT Bombay. His strong technical skills and leadership abilities helped him grow quickly at Reliance Industries. He worked closely with Mukesh Ambani for several years and played a key role in the company's success. His wife, Naina Shah, is also well-educated and holds a degree in Commerce. A family rooted in values Prakash Shah has two sons. One of them had already taken diksha (a spiritual vow of renunciation) earlier. His second son is married and has a child. For a long time, Prakash had been planning to take diksha himself. However, his spiritual journey was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Taking diksha with his wife Finally, on the day of Mahavir Jayanti, Prakash Shah and his wife Naina Shah took diksha together. In Jainism and other spiritual traditions, diksha is a deep and serious vow which means letting go of all worldly attachments to follow the path of inner peace and freedom (moksha). Today, Prakash Shah's life is completely transformed. He walks barefoot, wears plain white clothes, and lives by begging for food. He has left behind every comfort and luxury, choosing instead a life focused fully on spiritual growth and simplicity.
