India Autism Center Leads Dialogue On Lifelong Autism Care Through “Autism In Practice”

India Autism Center (IAC), a leading not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting individuals with autism and related developmental conditions, commemorated World Autism Awareness Month through “Autism in Practice” in association with the Society of Pediatric Neurology Bengal, thoughtfully curated series of parent-focused knowledge sessions. Aligned with its vision of building Samaavesh, India’s largest lifelong residential care ecosystem for neurodiverse individuals, the initiative reflected IAC’s commitment to creating an inclusive, informed, and supportive community ecosystem. The sessions brought together leading multidisciplinary specialists as panellists, including Dr. Sudip Saha, Dr. Arijit Chattopadhyay, Dr. Jashodhara Chaudhuri, Dr. Mousumi Mukherjee, Dr. Abir Mukherjee, Dr. Nandita Chattopadhyay, Dr. Kaushambi Basu, Dr. Pradip Paria, Dr. MD Sahidul Arefin, and Dr. Siddhartha Nandi. The programme commenced with a keynote address by Mr. Jaishankar Natarajan, Director and CEO, India Autism Center, setting the tone for meaningful dialogue and awareness. This was followed by a focused session on Occupational Therapy led by Dr. Manish Samnani, Clinical Director at SOCH and President of Haryana Chapter of AIOTA, who shared actionable strategies aimed at enhancing functional independence among individuals on the autism spectrum.

The event featured multiple expert-led sessions, of which “Medicines and Beyond” moderated by Dr. Rudrajit Sinha brought together, multispecialty clinicians, therapists, and domain experts. The discussion explored integrated approaches to autism care, highlighting the importance of balancing medical, behavioural, and therapeutic interventions, while underscoring the need for collaborative, multidisciplinary care models tailored to individual needs. It also extended beyond autism care to touch upon evolving intervention methods and the growing landscape of paediatric neurology, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis, specialised care, and continuous advancements in treatment approaches.

The latter half of the event featured other sessions on nutrition in children on the spectrum led by Prof. Dr. Kalpana Dutta, focusing on dietary considerations, feeding challenges, and the role of nutrition in overall development of children on the spectrum. A fireside chat with parent advocates, Ms. Nilanjana Rambothu and Ms. Sumitra Paul Bakshi highlighted lived experiences and milestones in one's parenting journey, followed by a session by Ms. Ranjana Chakraborty on behavioural modification strategies for Pre-teens and Teens, on the spectrum, addressing emotional regulation, social skills, and practical interventions, and concluding with closing remarks by Dr. Jashodhara Chaudhuri and Sakhi Singhi.

Speaking on the event, Mr. Jaishankar Natarajan, Director and CEO, India Autism Center, shared,

“Autism in Practice’ reflects our commitment to empowering families with the right knowledge, tools, and insights to make informed decisions. At IAC, we believe that awareness must go together with practical guidance, and this initiative is a step towards bridging that gap for parents navigating complex care journeys. Equally important is our focus on addressing the long-term needs of autistic individuals beyond early intervention particularly around residential care. Through our upcoming residential ecosystem, Samaavesh we aim to create a safe, structured, and inclusive environment that supports dignity, independence, and lifelong care, ensuring that individuals on the spectrum continue to thrive well into adulthood.”

In his address, Dr. Manish Samnani, Clinical Director, SOCH and President of Haryana Chapter of AIOTA, said, "It was truly a meaningful experience to be part of India Autism Center. Engaging with parents, professionals, and individuals on the spectrum created a valuable space for shared learning and dialogue. While I had the opportunity to discuss practical, day-to-day behavioural management strategies for home settings, I also gained important insights from the lived experiences and perspectives shared during the session. Such collaborative initiatives are essential in strengthening our collective understanding and advancing more responsive, person-centric approaches to autism care."

Dr. Rudrajit Sinha, Consultant Advanced Laparoscopy & Gastroenterology – Apollo Clinic, Director – Good Gut Clinic & CCC Surgery, and Vice President, Special Olympics Bharat, shared "As a clinician and a parent to a 17-year-old on the spectrum, I believe autism awareness must extend beyond a single month into everyday understanding and inclusion. initiatives like ‘Autism in Practice’ bring together diverse medical expertise and lived experiences, enabling meaningful dialogue around current therapies and future directions. With early intervention, appropriate support, and greater societal acceptance, individuals on the spectrum can lead fulfilling lives and actively participate in the world around them."

The initiative reflects IAC’s continued efforts to build awareness and support families through expert-led engagements that foster informed, compassionate, and long-term approaches to autism care. By offering practical insights on medication, evidence-based therapies, and planning for transitions into adolescence and adulthood, it reinforces a broader commitment to equip families with clarity and confidence to navigate lifelong care journeys.

EDII Announces “National Entrepreneurship Summer Camps For Youth & Children For 2026”

The Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), Ahmedabad, a pioneer in the field of entrepreneurship development, education, and training, has been organising national summer camps since 1992. These unique summer camps, organised for children in the age group of 12–16 years and youth aged 16–22 years, aim to imbibe winning skills in them, alongside building an entrepreneurial mindset at an early stage.

This year, the 46th and 47th editions of the camps on ‘Entrepreneurial Stimulation for Children’ will be held from May 3–8 and May 24–29, respectively, at the institute’s campus. Similarly, the 49th and 50th editions of the camps on ‘Entrepreneurial Adventures for Youth’ will be held from May 11–20 and June 1–10, respectively.

Over the last three decades, through the national summer camps on ‘Entrepreneurial Stimulation for Children’, EDII has provided a platform to help children understand their strengths and weaknesses, develop a growth perspective, and imbibe in them, learning that fosters winning skills. So far, 45 camps have groomed 3,228 children. Participants develop a strong ‘spirit of enterprise and achievement’, enabling them to aim for higher-order success. After the camp, parents receive a comprehensive report on their ward, highlighting personality traits and suggesting future developmental directions.

Similarly, through its national summer camps on ‘Entrepreneurial Adventures for Youth’, EDII has been developing entrepreneurial traits among youth across the country. A total of 2,100 youth have been trained so far. Participants discover their hidden potential and build capabilities to face future challenges by acquiring entrepreneurial traits such as risk-taking, creative thinking, conflict management, effective communication, teamwork and problem solving. Career counselling is also extended during the camps.

Interactions with achievers and field visits to observe classroom learnings in practice leave a lasting impact on participants of both the camps.

With such focussed, competency-based training, the participants have evolved into high-achieving individuals.

Dr Pankaj Bharti, Faculty at EDII, is the camp leader and can be reached at pbharti@ediindia.org / camps@ediindia.org.

Inauguration Of IIIT-Bangalore As Lead Knowledge Institution Under The NITI Aayog's State Support Mission

IIIT-Bangalore has been nominated as one of the Lead Knowledge Institutions (LKIs) of NITI Aayog under the State Support Mission (SSM). The inauguration marking IIIT-Bangalore’s role as one of the LKIs was held on April 10, 2026 at IIIT-Bangalore.

Prof. Debabrata Das welcomed the dignitaries on behalf of the institute. IIIT-Bangalore, as one of the Lead Knowledge Institutions, was formally inaugurated by the Chief Guest, K. S. Rejimon, Joint Secretary and Mission Director – State Support Mission, NITI Aayog.

S. Kalal, Director – State Support Mission, NITI Aayog, elaborated on the vision and objectives of the initiative and the broader mandate of NITI Aayog. He also welcomed IIIT-Bangalore as one of the Lead Knowledge Institutions under the State Support Mission.

The State Support Mission is an umbrella initiative by NITI Aayog aimed at fostering structured and institutionalised engagement with States and Union Territories. Its primary objective is to support them in achieving their socioeconomic goals by 2047. The mission is strategically designed to assist States and UTs in developing data-driven roadmaps aligned with national priorities and their unique strengths.

As one of the Lead Knowledge Institutions, IIIT-Bangalore will contribute to building capabilities in evidence-based policymaking, leveraging its expertise in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence to support governance and development outcomes.

"LKIs are collaborating with States in critical areas such as governance reforms, sectoral strategies, innovation frameworks and capacity building. Collaborations between Lead Knowledge Institutions, States and NITI Aayog, will mobilize domain expertise bringing to the fore their complementing competencies for achieving larger socio-economic growth objectives” said Mr. K. S. Rejimon, Joint Secretary & Mission Director - State Support Mission, NITI Aayog

"Today’s event is important as it reflects a shift towards more structured partnerships between government and knowledge institutions.Another important aspect is the need to build a wider ecosystem. Knowledge institutions can play a role in connecting academia, students and practitioners with public policy challenges. This helps in bringing new ideas and practical solutions into governance" said Mr. S. Kalal, Director - State Support Mission, NITI Aayog

“The inauguration of IIIT-Bangalore as a Lead Knowledge Institute under NITI Aayog’s State Support Mission marks a critical step in bridging the gap between computational research and impactful public policy. As Data Science and AI researchers, we are uniquely positioned to tackle complex, large-scale challenges to support governance frameworks driven by evidence and data-driven interventions.

Central to this research mission is the development of an intervention science for complex systems. Societal systems are often characterized by intricate interdependencies where a single change can trigger cascading side-effects or unexpected trade-offs. Our work goes beyond traditional predictive modeling; we are building the frameworks to represent, reason about, and model the stability of these interventions, ensuring that our technical support translates into sustained, positive outcomes for the State Support Mission.” said Prof. Srinath Srinivasa, Dean R&D, IIIT-Bangalore.

“At IIIT-Bangalore, we believe that technology can play a transformative role in governance. IIIT Bangalore being a Lead Knowledge Institution with NITI Aayog’s State Support Mission, we are committed to supporting states through data-driven policy research and advanced analytics. By leveraging our expertise in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, we aim to enable possible actionable insights and contribute to inclusive and sustainable development,” said Prof. Debabrata Das, Director, IIIT-Bangalore.

The inauguration marks an important milestone in IIIT-Bangalore’s role as a Lead Knowledge Institution under the State Support Mission of NITI Aayog, reinforcing its commitment to supporting data-driven and evidence-based governance.

India Must Expect Geopolitical Disruptions Every 1–2 Years, Good Time To Take Hard Decisions: Neelkanth Mishra

* As West Asia pauses, the economist says volatility is now structural, not episodic, and India should use this moment to hard‑wire resilience into growth.

India should brace for geopolitical disruptions every one to two years and use the current pause in tensions to push through long‑pending structural reforms, Axis Bank chief economist Neelkanth Mishra said at Kotak Private Banking’s Take and Counter Take (TACT). Speaking at the invitation‑only forum curated by Kotak Private, Mishra argued that while immediate fears of escalation have receded following calls for a two‑week ceasefire between Iran and the United States, the broader cycle of shocks is unlikely to end.

“This is part of a grand war between America and China,” Mishra said at the session, moderated by Kotak Asset Management managing director Nilesh Shah. “Until those equations settle, we should expect disruptions every one to two years.” The lesson for India, he added, is not to wait for stability, but to build resilience into the economy while growth conditions still allow for hard decisions.

Mishra focused on what he described as the second‑order effects of conflict, arguing that wars hurt less through headlines and more through supply chains. “This is bad for India, but it is terribly bad for the world,” he said. Disruptions to energy, chemicals, fertilisers, logistics and aviation, he warned, can quietly stall production far from the battlefield. If four percent of global energy flows are disrupted, Mishra said, “it effectively means four percent of global GDP is taken out,” even before spillovers into tourism, manufacturing and trade finance are felt.

‘Feels like 1989-93, but India better prepared’

Despite that, Mishra struck a notably steady tone on India’s preparedness. Compared with past episodes of global stress, he said, India is entering this phase with stronger buffers. “Compared to any other time in our history, we are much better prepared to deal with this,” he said, recalling a conversation with a senior policymaker who likened today’s environment to the turbulent 1989–93 period. The difference now, Mishra noted, lies in deeper capital markets, more robust external balances and greater policy credibility.

Crucially, Mishra argued that the pain now visible across markets and supply chains makes the current moment unusually conducive to reform. “This is very painful for the world,” he said, “but it will end.” When it does, he added, economic momentum will return and countries that acted during the slowdown will emerge stronger. Waiting for calm before acting, he cautioned, would be a mistake.

He singled out electrification as a strategic priority, noting that India remains far more vulnerable to oil and gas shocks than peers because too little end‑use energy consumption is electric. Accelerating electrification, combined with better energy pricing, would reduce exposure to geopolitics while improving efficiency, he said. Housing and urban infrastructure were also areas where policy could move decisively, creating domestic demand that is largely insulated from global volatility.

‘Take tough decisions now’

Tourism and services reform featured prominently in Mishra’s recommendations. India, he said, has “some of the most expensive tourism in the world,” driven in part by restrictive zoning and floor‑space norms. Relaxing hotel FSI and improving urban capacity would lower costs, raise competitiveness and create employment at scale. “It’s only when our backs are to the wall that we take tough decisions,” he said, arguing that reform windows rarely announce themselves more clearly.

While Mishra addressed economic resilience, fellow panellist Major Gaurav Arya focused on security risks, warning of increased terror incidents and calling for higher defence spending. Shah tied the two strands together, underscoring that growth, security and reform are no longer separable conversations.

The ceasefire may offer temporary relief, Mishra suggested, but not complacency. “This phase will pass,” he said. “The question is whether we use it.”

Major Gaurav Arya Picks His Winner From The West Asia Conflict — And It’s Not Iran, America,Or Israel

* Former army officer argues Beijing is quietly cashing in on chaos, and India must ramp up defence spends to 3.5% of GDP to keep up

The real winner of the West Asia conflict is China, Major Gaurav Arya said at Kotak Private Banking’s Take and Counter Take (TACT), arguing that Beijing is extracting strategic gains without firing a shot. Speaking at the invitation-only forum curated by Kotak Private, Arya told the audience that while attention remains fixed on Israel, Iran and the United States, China is accruing advantage quietly and methodically. “Everyone is looking at Israel, Iran and the United States,” he said, “but the country that actually benefits is China.” The conflict, he added, fits into a longer, colder struggle in which China exploits instability to weaken rivals, tighten its grip over energy routes, and stretch Western focus across too many theatres at once.

That advantage, Arya warned during the TACT session moderated by Kotak AMC managing director Nilesh Shah, exposes India’s own vulnerabilities. China, he said, has spent three decades building manufacturing scale, logistics depth and military capacity without distraction, while India has relied too heavily on goodwill and moral positioning. “They kept quiet, they kept building their economy, and one day people woke up to realise they had the biggest navy in the world,” Arya said. For India, the implication was blunt. “You need massive manufacturing at a massive level,” he said, adding that without industrial scale, military ambition and strategic autonomy remain slogans rather than capability.

The second edition of Take and Counter Take paired Arya with economist Neelkanth Mishra to examine whether India’s growth story can remain resilient amid geopolitical shocks. Shah steered the discussion away from headlines and towards consequence, pressing the panel on what prolonged conflict means for capital flows, supply chains, security and state capacity. Mishra set the economic frame, arguing that India is better prepared today than in past crises, while Arya focused on the security externalities that balance sheets and market models tend to underweight.

‘India must brace for more terror attacks’

Those externalities, Arya said, will not stay confined to West Asia. He was unequivocal on blowback. “There will be 100% more terror attacks,” he said. “Lone wolf attacks, sleeper cells — in India, in Europe, in America. This is inevitable.” Modern wars, he argued, do not end at borders but diffuse through networks, ideology and proxies, pulling distant countries into the arc of violence whether they choose it or not.

For India, that reality sharpens the case for hard choices at home. Arya returned repeatedly to defence expenditure, calling current levels inadequate for the risks ahead. “If the Prime Minister asked me for one recommendation, it would be this,” he said. “Defence has to be at 3.5% of GDP. There is no other way.” Moral authority, he added, does not substitute for deterrence. “There is no friendship without fear,” Arya said, arguing that the ability to project power — economic, diplomatic and military — determines whether a country shapes events or absorbs their fallout.

His warning circled back to China. Beijing, Arya said, is willing to absorb pain, invest patiently and exploit asymmetry, whether through choke points, supply chains or proxy conflict. India, by contrast, still treats strength as episodic rather than systemic. “China will not let you survive by goodwill alone,” he said. “They respect power. That power comes from industry, from defence manufacturing, from economic strength.”

India, Arya said, still has the window to act, provided it aligns growth, manufacturing and security as parts of the same strategy. The West Asia conflict, in his telling, is less a distant war than a rehearsal for the kind of disorder that will define the coming decade. “The world is not structured anymore,” he said. “If you are not prepared, you will pay the price.”
