Kalyan Chaubey has turned AIFF into a 'circus': Bhaichung Bhutia
Kolkata: Former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia highlighted poor management in the All India Football Federation (AIFF) alleged that its president Kalyan Chaubey has turned the sport's national body into a "circus" and he himself does not know what is his plan of 'Vision 2047'. AIFF Vision 2047 is a strategic roadmap developed by AIFF to transform Indian football into a powerhouse in Asia by the year 2047. In a recent press conference, Bhutia pointed at the sad state of affairs of football in the country which has led to many wondering what the future of the sport. 'It is very unfortunate that we are 133rd in rankings. We can all see we are struggling in the Asian Cup Qualifiers. I believe we have a good chance of qualifying but at the same time we have to realise that the Asian Cup now has 24 teams, compared to 16 during my captaincy, so we must qualify. 'Our great President Kalyan Chaubey had earlier said we will be in the top 10 in Asia by 2026. Now he is saying we should have prepared for this 10 years ago. In three years under Kalyan Chaubey, even our women's team has gone down. I think he himself does not know what 'Vision 2047' is,' the former India striker said in a press conference. Following Igor Stimac's turbulent exit and India's elimination from the FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the team went winless throughout 2024. Their only victory came in March when veteran striker Sunil Chhetri came out of retirement to lead the side to a 3-0 win over the Maldives - India's first win in 489 days. Bhutia compared the current state of the AIFF to a circus and called Chaubey a "joker". 'Anybody following Indian football knows it's a circus right now, and obviously if you put a joker in that position then that is what will happen,' he said. The AIFF president had also accused the Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools, a chain of commercial football academies run by the former striker, of "taking undue advantage by playing on emotions". Bhaichung addressed the allegations and spoke on the progress of his academies. 'I usually don't talk about Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools during a press conference but it is high time. We had started the tournament 12 years back and within 2-3 years we decided we needed to be sustainable. That is when we started the after-school programme. 30% of students are on a full scholarship whereas 70% were focused on after-school programmes. We have got 220 coaches, 70 centres and are the biggest grassroots programme in the nation. All the money that comes in goes towards our goal. 'Kalyan had talked about the FIFA Academy, four players were from our school. He talked about the women's academy, our club Garhwal FC had won the tournament in which they (Indian Arrows) finished runners-up (Indian Women's League 2). He himself has not done anything to contribute to football, even when he played he was focused on politics,' Bhutia added.

Transforming Education in India for a $30 Trillion Economy
India aims to become a $30 trillion economy by 2047 through the Viksit Bharat initiative. As part of this national vision, leaders across sectors are voicing their perspectives. According to Ajay Gupta, Founder of Bachpan Play Schools and Academic Heights Public Schools, India must position its education system as a global benchmark by 2047. A Vision Beyond Borders The Urgency to Rethink India's Education System Leading edupreneur Ajay Gupta, in his Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, called for a rethinking of India's school education system. He asserted, 'To become a global powerhouse, India must not only adopt global standards but also set more of them for others to adopt.' While efforts have long aimed at imparting world-class education, Mr. Gupta emphasizes that we should aim so high that the term 'world-class education' naturally comes to be associated with India's education system on the world stage. What Is Vision 2047? The year 2047 will mark India's 100th Year of Independence. 'Viksit Bharat @2047', as it is officially named, is a national mission to make India a developed country through collective action at individual, sectoral, and national levels. The Viksit Bharat @2047 vision is also quite significant globally. It shapes the future of the country through inclusive economic growth, good governance, youth empowerment, social development, and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Viksit Bharat @2047 vision focuses on global competence, inclusion, and innovation via skill development and tech-driven initiatives. Education is central, with the youth as both drivers and primary beneficiaries of change. Key Pillars of Gupta's Vision for Indian Education Educational leader Ajay Gupta also co-founded Rishihood University as India's first university focused on social impact. Creating an enduring impact from PG (Play Group) to PG (Post Graduate), he envisions India as a global role model in education and innovation. Ajay Gupta advocates bridging local values with global standards. His institutions, which consist of 1200+ Bachpan Play Schools, 120+ Academic Heights Public Schools (AHPS), and Rishihood University, work towards cultivating a deep appreciation for Indian values rooted in Panchakosha Shiksha, while preparing students for the future. Ajay Gupta's vision for Indian education is shaped by his role as an educationist and a proud Indian. As India's value-driven models like mindfulness gain global traction, he urges the country to change from a consumer to a major contributor on the world stage in 2047. Transforming the Indian Education Landscape India's education landscape needs an overhaul to attain the national vision of becoming a developed country. From preschool to higher education, a shift towards skill-based and value-based learning is now becoming increasingly imperative. Technology, curriculum, and infrastructure play a crucial role in shaping education. With AI rapidly integrating into daily life and work, the education system has to evolve at the same pace to stay relevant and future-ready. Empowering educators and school leaders is also vital to transforming the education system. Technology can become a powerful enabler in the hands of educators and school leaders under the right circumstances. Ajay Gupta's Vision 2047 and legacy in the Viksit Bharat context cannot be sidelined. Consistent effort and multi-sectoral collaboration towards education that inspires the world remain key points.

Govt keen to turn Hyd into global film city: CM
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, while assuring all the required support for the cine industry, said that the Telangana's Vision Document could include a separate chapter on cine industry. Hence, he urged the cine industry's eminent personalities to come up with proposals for transforming Hyderabad into a global hub of the industry. Addressing a colourful gathering at the first Gaddar film awards function, Revanth Reddy, while underscoring the potential of the Telugu film industry, urged directors like Rajamouli to help make Hyderabad the top destination for filmmakers of not only Bollywood but also Hollywood. He asked the state Film Development Corporation chairman Dil Raju to come up with plans towards shaping the Vision of 2047, while emphasising the industry's potential and possible contribution to the State's development. 'As Telangana's Vision 2047 is aimed at $ 3 trillion economy and $ 1 trillion economy by 2035, we have to give priority to including the development of the cinema industry. Hyderabad should become the hub of best movies at the global level. We are ready to support, and you should plan to include ideas so that the Vision Document includes a separate chapter,' he said. The Chief Minister clarified that the State government had always remained supportive of the industry and sometimes 'harsh decisions' were inevitable. However, these awards proved that the government recognised and appreciated the artistes and the film industry. While stressing the need for Hyderabad's growth on par with global cities, Revanth Reddy pointed out that out of the Fortune 500 companies, the City housed offices for 85 companies which cannot be undermined. He reiterated that Hyderabad's competition was with global cities and urged the industry to come forward with their proposals. The Chief Minister said that Telangana was inspired by artistes like Gaddar and Ande Sri whose songs continued to arouse the generations of Telangana.
