< Back Govt planning wider coverage under social security schemes 15 Oct 2024 The revised Jan Suraksha model may provide higher insurance and pension coverage, doubling life and accident cover limits. The Centre is planning to upgrade the Jan Suraksha model to offer wider coverage for life and accident insurance and pension by linking all Jan Dhan account holders. It is also considering increasing the minimum guaranteed pension under the Atal Pension Yojana (APY), which is currently ₹1,000 to ₹5,000 per person. Under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) and Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), the insurance cover is ₹2 lakh. Currently, insurers and banks have to settle claims within 14 days of receipt, giving one week each to the bank and the insurer. Centre plans to hike premium rates and push prompt claim payment. Banks are advised to proactively inform deceased account holder nominees by identifying the corresponding customers from core banking solutions. Centre had revised annual premium rates to ₹436 for PMJJBY’s life insurance scheme and ₹20 for PMSBY’s accidental death and disability scheme in 2022. Source: ET Previous Next

La Gigafactory de Berlin a commencé à être confrontée à des arrêts maladie allant jusqu’à 17 % en août, alors que la moyenne du secteur est de 5 %. < Back Tesla rend visite à ses employés allemands pour vérifier s’ils sont vraiment malades La Gigafactory de Berlin a commencé à être confrontée à des arrêts maladie allant jusqu’à 17 % en août, alors que la moyenne du secteur est de 5 %. Tesla a commencé à rendre visite aux 30 employés allemands qui ont pris un congé de maladie. Cette mesure a été pris après que Tesla a décidé à faire face l’absentéisme et parce que la société souhaitait établir un lien avec l’éthique du travail de son personnel. La direction de Tesla estime que la plupart des congés de maladie sont pris le vendredi et pendant les heures de travail tardives. Certains membres du personnel n’ont pas apprécié les visites. Ils claquaient les portes et menaçaient d’appeler la police. IG Metall, le syndicat allemand de l’automobile, a déclaré que le taux d’absentéisme élevé s’expliquait par le fait que le personnel était surcharge de travail et travaillait dans un environnement dangereux. L’usine de Berlin emploie 12 000 personnes. Tesla a commencé à donner des primes de 1 000 euros aux employés qui travaillent plus de 95 % du temps. Previous Next

< Back Mukesh Ambani buys 26% stake in Adani’s Mahan Energen 15 Jul 2024 The deal, announced in March, has now been completed. Reliance Industries has bought five crore shares of Adani Power subsidiary Mahan Energen for ₹50 crores. Adani Power’s subsidiary Mahan Energen, established in 2005, runs a thermal power plant in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. Earlier, Essar Power owned this plant. Adani Power bought it for ₹4,250 crore in March 2022. The Singrauli plant capacity will be raised from the existing 1200 MW to 2800 MW in the short term and to 4400 MW over the next decade. Adani is planning to invest ₹30,000 crore for this expansion. Reliance Industries has signed a twenty-year power purchase agreement, picking up a 26% stake in this plant’s 500 MW unit for captive use. Captive use means that Reliance will consume the electricity instead of selling it to the power grid or consumers. Adani aims to become the largest renewable energy producer in the world by 2030. Meanwhile, Reliance is readying four gigafactories at Jamnagar, Gujarat, one each for solar, green hydrogen, fuel cells, and batteries. Previous Next

Cela s’est produit après le démantèlement de l’USAID par le Département américain de l’efficacité gouvernementale (DOGE). < Back Les employés de l’USAID bloqués en Afrique Cela s’est produit après le démantèlement de l’USAID par le Département américain de l’efficacité gouvernementale (DOGE). Le DOGE a démantelé l’Agence américaine pour le développement international (USAID) afin de réduire les dépenses fédérales et la taille du gouvernement. L’administration a mis fin à des programmes d’aide à l’étranger et a mis en congé les dirigeants à Washington, provoquant ainsi un manque d’orientation pour le personnel à l’échelle mondiale. Le département d'État ordonné aux employés non urgents de l’USAID à Kinshasa, en République démocratique du Congo (RDC), de rentrer aux Etats-Unis en janvier et de se mettre en congé administratif. La violence s’intensifiait à cette époque en RDC et à Kinshasa. Les membres du service extérieur de l’agence ont déposé une plainte contre Trump, le département d'État et le Trésor pour démantèlement inconstitutionnel et illégal de l’USAID. Elle a été initiée par la Fédération américaine des employés du gouvernement (AFGE) et l’Association américaine du service extérieur (AFSA). Le président John F. Kennedy a établi l’USAID en 1961.

< Back Boeing delivery snag delays Akasa and Air India’s expansion plans 7 Nov 2025 Akasa had planned to cross the 40 mark this year, but remains stuck at 30. Delays in seat certification by the US FAA are impacting the expansion plans of Akasa and Air India. Akasa uses Safran seats while Air India deploys Adient. FAA became cautious after the Boeing MAX crashes this year and the following scrutiny. Akasa overhired in the past two years, and now has 750 pilots, over half of whom are unable to fly due to the absence of aircraft. Its CEO mentioned all their pilots will begin flying in the next two months, Reuters reported. IndiGo sidestepped these delays by using Recaro seats and Airbus aircraft. Indian aviation regulations do not mandate the Head Injury Criterion (HIC), unlike the FAA and EASA (Europe). Akasa still hopes to have 40 aircraft in its fleet by March 2026 and around 54 by March 2027. It plans to go public through an IPO in the next 2-5 years and restart hiring pilots in 2026.

< Back India to procure ₹10,200 crore ammunition to make Pinaka rockets 30 Jan 2025 The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) approved the largest ammunition contract for India to date to procure the ammunition. The Indian government is ready to procure ammunition worth ₹10,200 crore for the Army’s Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher systems. Two contracts will be signed to procure highly explosive pre-fragment ammunition (worth ₹5,700 crore) and Area Denial Munitions (worth ₹4,500 crore) developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Armament Research and Development Establishment (ARDE). The Pinaka system was designed to offer the Army a powerful, multi-barrel rocket launcher capable of quick and accurate heavy firepower.

DRDO transferred the technology to Economic Explosives Limited (EEL) and Munitions India Limited (MIL) to make the ammunition for the rockets. The contracts will be signed by March 31st.
