<p>Despite India’s increasing labour force availability attributed to an increasing population, it will not be sufficient to strengthen the economy or improve fiscal outcomes, a report by Moody’s Investors Service indicated. It said that the quality of education is a major component that puts the population at a disadvantage.</p>

<p>Moody’s compared India’s current education outcome levels to those of Pakistan and Bangladesh, emphasising that better educational outcomes will help nations like India avoid potential job losses from digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence in the long run, especially in services like call centres and BPOs.</p>

<p>The rating agency stated in a report on sovereigns in South and Southeast Asia titled “Population growth alone will not drive credit benefits for emerging economies” that it anticipates continued population growth in the region to support economic expansion because the proportion of people who are working age will remain high relative to the proportion of people who are younger and older.</p>

<p>“However, the availability and scale of labour inputs alone will not drive materially stronger economic strength or better fiscal outcomes. Other conditions such as strong education and quality infrastructure are also key to reaping the benefits,” The Hindu quoted the report as saying.</p>

<p>Moody’s report also mentioned that there exists a significant gap in the quality of education between Pakistan, Bangladesh and India in comparison to China and other countries in South East Asia. This leads to labour force “participation imbalances.”</p>

<p>The organization predicts that, the population of India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Vietnam are to grow by a third, thereby leading to a 40 per cent of the increase in people in working age, over the next 20 years.</p>

<p>According to Moody’s, differences in the proportion of the male and female populations who have completed upper secondary education are most prominent in India and Bangladesh. It is believed that variations in the total mean years of education reflect gender disparities in educational success.</p>

<p>“The development of relevant engineering and programming expertise may actually provide employment opportunities, not only in technology-related fields, but also in higher-value-added manufacturing given the increasingly complex products being produced in some of these large countries, for example, smartphones in India and electric vehicles in Vietnam,” the report stated.</p>

With China’s growing belligerence, the border has become a battleground for testing wills and resilience. Analysts say China’s completely unfounded claims initially extended only to Tawang, a part of Arunachal Pradesh, where the sixth Dalai Lama was said to have been born. Since the 2000s, however, China has been claiming Arunachal Pradesh in its entirety. Pertinent to remember, that independent India has been exercising sovereignty over it. Arunachal Pradesh became a union territory in 1972 and a state in 1987. Arunachal Pradesh is also located at the confluence of the international borders of China, Myanmar and Bhutan, giving it strategic importance. This extension of territorial claims indicates a concerted strategy, consistent with China's stance on the East and South China Sea disputes.

<p>A day after a heart-wrenching alleged rape incident in a housing society located within a sprawling township in India's Ghaziabad, a 19-year-old woman guard hailing from Jharkhand tragically died at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital. The accused society manager Ajay Kumar, in his mid-30s, has been arrested in the case, media reports said.</p>

<p>The tragedy unfolded on Sunday morning (August 27) around 11:15 am&nbsp;when the young guard entered the storage room to fetch water. Upon her return, she appeared deeply distressed and tearful.

<p>The arrest came after a complaint was lodged by a family member of the deceased woman. The family alleged that multiple individuals were involved in the sexual assault. An autopsy report, which is expected to provide crucial insights into the case, is reportedly pending.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>ITC Chairman and Managing director Sanijv Puri stated that the company is witnessing signs of volume growth as inflation begins to ease. He said that the trend is expected to continue over the forthcoming quarters, PTI reported.</p>

<p>According to Puri, this would undoubtedly result in an increase in volume, but it won't happen immediately. Puri made this statement in New Delhi, outside of the B20 Summit, which was hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).</p>

<p>Puri commented on the ITC’s decision to demerge its hotel division, saying that by creating a wholly-owned new subsidiary, ITC Hotels Ltd., it will benefit the current shareholders.</p>

<p>“It will be a pure-play, focused on hospitality, which can leverage the institutional strengths of ITC. And ITC in turn will be able to leverage the synergy on its hospitality business, or its FMCG businesses,” PTI quoted Puri as saying.</p>

<p>It is a “very robust” strategy that will help the hotel industry advance faster while maintaining synergies, and it will boost ITC’s financial KPIs, he added.</p>

<p>According to Puri, there are two main causes of inflation: the first is the increase in foreign geopolitical variables, and the second is the problems with climate change.</p>

<p>“However, now, India is much better placed in the rest of the world and I would like to compliment the government for stewarding management of inflation and being extremely proactive in taking the right steps to control that,” he said.</p>

<p>ITC and several other FMCG manufacturers have reported volume growth and profitability improvement for the June quarter. Aashirvaad, Bingo, Sunfeast, YiPPee, Fiama, Vivel, and Savlon are just a few of ITC’s 25 brands.</p>

<p>Puri told PTI, “We are already seeing green shoots of pickup on volumes as inflation is moderating,” in response to a question regarding the recovery of consumer mood and volume growth, particularly in the rural market. He believes that when inflation slows, market prices will rise or the climate shall improve. He voiced his worries about the operating environment’s ongoing weather instability.</p>
