education, showing the growing appetite for upskilling to suit industry demands, finds a new survey. The survey of professionals from a diverse set of sectors in the country found that one in every two Indians are ready to fund further education for themselves, their children or their family within the upcoming 12 months. The Emeritus Global Workplace Skills Study 2023 from professional education Emeritus firm shows that education ranks high among Indians’ priorities even as the survey found two in three respondents admitting to spending their money cautiously focusing on essentials such as healthcare, medicine, groceries, etc., amid job layoffs and salary cuts globally. The trend of Indians spending on further education out of pocket stood out from most other parts of the world, where upskilling is being funded largely by organisations.

NITI Aayog will soon undertake the evaluation of India’s biggest subsidy schemes, the National Food Security Act and LPG subsidy, to rationalise expenditure, prevent leakage and ensure benefits are reaching the eligible candidates. The Development Monitoring and Evaluation Office, which is an attached office of NITI Aayog, has invited proposals for a central coordinating agency for evaluation of the two schemes, which together cost the exchequer nearly Rs 4,00,000 crore a year. “The government implements one the largest public food and nutritional safety nets in the world through the National Food Security Act (NFSA), enacted in 2013. However, despite the large public expenditure, gains in the food security and nutritional outcomes in India have been slow with the country accounting for roughly 30% of the global burden of hunger,” the DMEO said in the RFP document. Explaining the rationale behind evaluation of the LPG subsidy, the DMEO further said that India is the third largest energy consumer in the world after China and the USA. “The current consumption of LPG in India has risen to 12.3% of total petroleum products compared to 1.13% of kerosene.

China is willing to play a «constructive» role in the success of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco, its top diplomat said on Tuesday, after President Xi Jinping's absence at the annual Group of 20 summit in India. «As the world's largest developing country and an important member of APEC, China is willing to comply with the expectations of the international community and play a constructive role in the success of APEC this year,» said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Xi, with no official explanation, did not go to the G20 summit in New Delhi this month, with the Chinese premier, Li Qiang, attending in his place. That prompted the United States to say China was «giving up» on the G20 and was building an alternative world order. «Of course, we and all parties hope that the United States will recognise its responsibility as the host, demonstrate openness, fairness, inclusiveness, and responsibility, and create better conditions for the smooth holding of the meeting,» Wang said at a news conference, when asked whether Xi would attend APEC. Dialogue between China and the United States has been gradually resuming despite tensions between the two superpowers, especially over Taiwan.
