Protests in Palamu med college as students seek principal's ouster
1 2 Daltonganj: Around 100 MBBS students, including girls of the MMCH, Daltonganj, on Wednesday laid a three-hour siege of the medical superintendent Dr Ajay Kumar's office and kept shouting slogans demanding the ouster of the medical college's principal Dr P N Mahto. Later, the principal and the students held rounds of negotiations but there was no consensus to end the protest. The medicos had a long list of grievances against the principal and called him a "dictator". They also demanded the revocation of two suspended second-year MBBS students. The duo was suspended for failing to attend class regularly. According to the protestors, the principal imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 each on two other students for not wearing helmets while driving two-wheelers on the campus, and detaining an intern female doctor at the college gate on Tuesday night for more than 25 minutes as she did not have a bike pass to enter the campus. "The principal threatens us with dire consequences. He terrorises us, saying he will see that we fail in the university exams," the protestors claimed. Later, the principal announced the revocation of the suspended students with retrospective effect. He also announced to return of the traffic penalty. Mahto told the students, "I ask every one of you to wear a helmet and abide by the rules of the college. There will be no vindictive action or attitude. No student will face any disciplinary action."

Most AI tools suffer from ‘hallucination'
Most artificial intelligence systems suffer from the flaw of 'hallucination' and are not meant for India's small enterprises in the manufacturing sector, deep-tech company Vexoo Labs has said and claimed its AI solutions are for the 'real world'. 'The focus on factual accuracy is both rare and crucial,' said Ajay Kumar, senior business leader, AI Evangelist and a board advisor at Vexoo Labs. He said most AI tools today are built for showcase, not for reliability. In the industrial alleys of Rajkot, the looms of Tiruppur, and the machining units of Coimbatore, India's small and mid-sized manufacturers are facing a silent crisis, he noted. 'It's not rising input costs or labour shortages alone - it's the growing complexity of data, and the absence of any reliable AI system to help make sense of it,' Kumar said. According to Kumar, despite the global boom in artificial intelligence, 'most systems on the market today suffer from a dangerous flaw: hallucinations — confidently delivering factually incorrect information. For India's MSMEs, where decisions have direct operational and financial consequences, this isn't just a flaw, it's a liability.' He further said that even at global AI showcases like Super AI, dozens of platforms claim to be transformative. But behind the gloss lies a glaring truth — most are built atop general-purpose language models that continue to hallucinate. 'While the world chases scale and speed, accuracy has quietly fallen through the cracks,' he said, adding, Vexoo Labs' reasoning-first architecture, compact models, and local execution capabilities make it especially relevant for Tier-II and Tier-III cities, where India's manufacturing momentum truly lies. He said the company's focus on trustworthy AI for real-world India is already resonating across enterprise and public sector conversations. 'We didn't set out to build a shinier chatbot. We set out to solve the core flaw in AI itself — hallucinations,' added Aditya Vardhan, co-founder of Vexoo Labs. 'Manufacturers in Ludhiana, Surat or Bhiwadi shouldn't have to rely on guesswork. They deserve AI that answers clearly, correctly, and fast — and that's what we're building at Vexoo Labs,' Vardhan explained. He said that as India eyes to become a $5-trillion economy, the 'real digital leap may not come from big cities or billion-parameter models, but from trust-first intelligence deployed deep within India's industrial backbone'.
