Mysuru well placed to leverage its strength in cybersecurity and AI, says Yaduveer
Mysuru MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar said that the city was well-positioned to leverage its strength in cyber security, information technology and the emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI).
He was interacting with students of Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering (VVCE) on 'Youth as Nation Builders' here on Friday.
Elaborating on a query about his own venture in the field of cybersecurity, Mr. Yaduveer said that Bengaluru was saturated, and Mysuru given its connectivity and the prevalent ecosystem was in a position of strength in not only cyber security but also the emerging field of AI.
There was a lesson to be learnt from the growth of Bengaluru which had no model, and efforts should be made to preserve Mysuru's ambience.
Mr. Yaduveer said that India was not only an emerging and fastest growing economy but was also a stable one, and the demography of the country was favourable as the youth constituted a large portion of the population. He said there was a unique opportunity to harness and channelise the energy of the youth to the task of nation-building.
In this context, he said there had been changes in the last 10 years with more opportunities to the youth by way of easy access to credit to encourage the startup ecosystem. The youth could be harbingers of change from being job seekers to job creators and take the entrepreneurial spirit of the country forward, he added.
On the question of greater control or censorship over social media platforms Mr. Yaduveer said a lot of content on social media platforms in India are distractions, whereas in China the content focused on skilling and training.
'Even the U.S. monitors the content on social media platforms as some have ideological underpinnings, and we do not want the youth to be distracted,' he said.
On the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said Mr. Modi was pushing for Viksit Bharat or Developed India by 2047. After 11 years of the Modi government, there was a need to engage with all sections of society, starting with youth on the changes that have been ushered and the vision forward, he added.
B. Sadashive Gowda, principal, VVCE, said more than 65% of the country's population was below 35 years, and the youth force could make a difference and contribute to the emergence of India as a progressive and a developed country.
Gundappa Gowda, president, Vidyavardhaka Sangha, P. Vishwanath, secretary, M.M. Nikhilesh, founder of Kalisu Foundation were present.

"The President said last week (that the US and India are very close to a trade deal), and it remains true. I just spoke to our Secretary of Commerce about it. He was in the Oval Office with the President. They are finalising these agreements, and you will hear from the President and his trade team very soon when it comes to India," Leavitt Press Secretary's remarks coincided with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's visit to the United States for the QUAD Foreign Ministers' Meeting.

Right now, it's restricted. You can't walk in there, you can't even think about it. We are looking to get a full trade barrier dropping, which is unthinkable and I am not sure that that is going to happen. But as of this moment, we agree that going to India and trade," the President had said.- EndsTune InMust Watch

White House says Trump share strong ties with PM Modi, confirms US-India trade deal 'very close' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called India a 'key friend' of the United States in the Indo-Pacific region, during a press briefing on Monday. She was speaking about the ongoing trade talks between the two countries and said that President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have a strong and friendly relationship. 'India remains a very strategic ally in the Asia Pacific and the President has a very good relationship with Prime Minister Modi, and he will continue to have that,' says White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replying to ANI's question regarding how the US President sees the China's role and its influence in the Indo-Pacific region. #WATCH | 'India remains a very strategic ally in the Asia Pacific and the President has a very good relationship with Prime Minister Modi, and he will continue to have that, 'says White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replying to ANI's question regarding how the US… — ANI (@ANI) June 30, 2025 Leavitt mentioned that the trade deal between the US and India is nearly ready. 'Yes, the President said that last week (that the US and India are very close to a trade deal), and it remains true. I just spoke to our Secretary of Commerce about it. He was in the Oval Office with the President. They are finalising these agreements, and you'll hear from the President and his trade team very soon when it comes to India, 'says White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in response to the ANI's question, when asked about the US President's last week announcement that the trade deal with India is close and this could happen anytime soon.

The group first came together in 2004 to help with relief efforts after the Indian Ocean tsunami and has since grown into a key regional partnership. Earlier on June 18, it was confirmed that US President Donald Trump has accepted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's invitation to attend the upcoming QUAD Summit in New Delhi. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri shared the update in a video message, saying, 'For the next QUAD meeting, Prime Minister Modi invited President Trump to visit India. President Trump gladly accepted the invitation and said he is looking forward to the visit.' India-US Trade Talks: Progress Toward Early Deal India and the United States started a fresh round of trade talks on June 26, aiming to finalize an early agreement before the US begins imposing new tariffs on imports from 57 countries, including India, starting July 9. According to various reports, the Indian delegation, led by Chief Negotiator and Special Secretary for Commerce Rajesh Agrawal, traveled to Washington for a two-day meeting. The main focus is to resolve ongoing trade issues and work toward an interim deal that could serve as the foundation for a full Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) by September or October 2025. Once this early deal is in place, both nations are expected to move toward negotiating a complete Free Trade Agreement (FTA), with the goal of doubling their trade to USD 500 billion by 2030. India has also urged the US to cancel all current and upcoming retaliatory tariffs, including a 26 per cent duty, made up of a 10 per cent charge already in effect since April 5 and an additional 16 per cent set to begin on July 9.

MyVoice: Views of our readers 1st July 2025
Language matters a lot, Mr Modi The new three-language policy was scrapped by the Devendra Fadnavis government because the pushback from the people of Maharashtra was so strong. This, in effect, means that learning Hindi is now not compulsory in the primarily Marathi-speaking State. Learning a third language stipulated in the new education policy, for all practical purposes, means learning Hindi despite all the obfuscation. The three-language policy is a ploy to introduce Hindi in a subtle manner. Mindful of the fact that language is a highly emotive issue and a political minefield, the central government ought not to have attempted to bring in Hindi through the back door. People are intelligent enough to see through its game. It is a fallacy to say that uniformity is a sine qua non for unity. The worst of it all is that the government is testing the non-Hindi speaking people's love of their mother tongue and culture and their will to resist by imposing Hindi on them and attempting a sort of insidious cultural invasion. Hindi is only one of the many Indian languages and knowing or speaking it is no determinant of one's Indianness. The attempt to substitute English with Hindi as the lingua franca is bound to flounder and fail in the pluralist India with space for all languages, religions, ethnicities and cultures. The Narendra Modi government should change its world view and its language policy. G David Milton, Maruthancode (TN) Only the nameless suffer during stampedes Stampedes have become a tragic ritual in India. Successive governments, be it the BJP or Congress, follow the same tired script. 'Arrangements were perfect, but the crowd was larger than expected.' Then come the token gestures: suspend a few junior officials, announce compensation, and move on. Religion is now a hyper-commercialised spectacle. Even Lord Jagannath might struggle to make sense of it. Ironically, it's never the VIPs or organizers who suffer—only the nameless, faceless devotees. N Nagarajan, Hyderabad Prioritise public safety No celebration should end in tragedy. The Puri Mahaprabhu Jagannath Rath Yatra stampede, which claimed three lives and injured 50, highlights the need for effective crowd management. This tragic incident was a result of negligence, mismanagement and the alarming absence of police personnel at the time of the stampede. Despite advanced technology, crowd safety remains a concern. Authorities must prioritise public safety and implement strategies to prevent such tragedies, as seen in devastating religious congregation incidents like Hathras (121 lives), Kumbh Mela (36), and other similar incidents. To prevent such incidents, thorough risk assessments and crowd management plans must be put in place. Emergency response teams should be deployed, and communication systems should be established. The government and event organizers must work together to ensure public safety. Ultimately, safety of the people should be the top priority. Ganti Venkata Sudhir, Secunderabad Punish officials for stampedes The gross neglect of security arrangements and administrative supervision over the proceedings has become a common factor when it comes to stampedes and deaths in India! The Puri incident on Sunday is the second major stampede this month with Bengaluru accounting for the first on June 4. Overall, from the six major stampedes this year the officially declared deaths stand at 80, including during the Maha Kumbh mela and at New Delhi railway station. All incidents occurred because of poor security arrangements and lack of proper plans for crowd control/management. Whenever such incidents occur, the concerned state governments announce ex-gratia to the bereaved families and wash their hands off the responsibility for the incident. Additionally, the concerned officials are suspended and/or transferred pending enquiry. What exactly happens afterwards is never made public and even if a report is made from the inquiry, no specific action takes place against the erring officials, or the administration concerned. This decadent system should change once and for all. Govardhana Myneedu, Vijayawada
