Is AI technology affecting jobs or not?

AI i.e. Artificial Intelligence, is the technology that enables machines to think, understand and take decisions. In the last few years, AI has brought revolutionary changes in the technological world. While on one hand it is making the lives of humans easier, on the other hand this question is also being raised again and again – has AI become a threat to our employment i.e. jobs?

In this article, we will understand in detail how AI is affecting jobs, in which areas its impact is more, and whether it means that humans will lose their jobs or new job opportunities will also be created.

AI and Automation – The First Setback

The first and biggest impact of AI was seen in automation. Many big industries have started incorporating robots and automated machines in factories and manufacturing units. Where earlier 10 people used to work on an assembly line, now 2 people and 8 machines are seen there.

This has had a direct impact on manual and repetitive jobs – such as packing, screw fitting, data entry, cash counters, etc. For example, self-checkout kiosks have now been installed in malls, where customers can scan and pay themselves – no cashier is needed.

AI penetration in the service industry

AI is not limited to factories only, now it has rapidly entered the service sector as well. In banking, AI-based chatbots are answering customer queries, in healthcare, medical images are being reported by AI, and in education, children are being tutored by AI tools.

Many companies have started using chatbots and virtual assistants instead of humans in customer care support. On one hand, this provides 24×7 support to the customer, but on the other hand, the jobs of those working in call centers are in danger.

But is every job in danger?

No, not at all. It is true that some types of jobs, which are repetitive and predictable, may be reduced due to AI. But there are some jobs that AI cannot do completely – such as creative jobs (writing, painting, film making), judgment-based professions (judges, doctors, counselors), and work based on direct communication with people (teaching, sales, management).

AI can only do work that is data-based and process-driven in a better way. Things like human thinking power, emotional understanding, and social behavior are still far ahead of machines.

New opportunities related to AI

While on the one hand some jobs have been in danger, on the other hand AI has also created new opportunities. Now new profiles like data scientist, machine learning engineer, AI researcher, prompt engineer, NLP expert have emerged which are in great demand.

Similarly, for those who are in traditional fields (such as marketing, content writing, editing), AI tools are like a support, which can make their work easier and better. That is, AI can be seen as a partner rather than a threat – provided we learn to adopt it.

India and AI

The influence of AI is gradually increasing in India. The government is also running programs like “AI for All” so that citizens are aware of AI and can use it. Startups, education platforms, healthcare sector – AI has started making its place everywhere.

But in a country like India where a large population lives in rural areas, the risk of being affected by AI is a little less because there is still a lot of manual work there. But changes are definitely being seen in urban and technology-based jobs.

What should we do?

Instead of being afraid of AI, we should keep pace with it. We have to keep updating our skills. “Reskilling” and “Upskilling” are the biggest needs of today. We have to understand that the jobs of the future will be linked to technology.

Schools and colleges should include AI-related courses in their curriculum so that the coming generation can be prepared. Similarly, working professionals should keep themselves updated through online courses, training and seminars.

Conclusion

AI technology has impacted jobs – this is true. But it is not completely negative. It is a change – like every technological change. History is witness that whenever a new technology has come, old jobs have been lost, but new and better jobs have also come.

The same is the case with AI – if we can adapt ourselves in time, then it can prove to be a boon for us. We need the right thinking, the right skills and the right attitude.

“Don’t be afraid of AI, know it, understand it and use it – only then will you be able to succeed in the future.”

मेघालय के ईस्ट खासी हिल्स में इंदौर का जोड़ा लापता

इंदौर का एक जोड़ा हनीमून पर मेघालय के पूर्वी खासी हिल्स जिले में लापता हो गया है, जिसके बाद बड़े पैमाने पर खोज और बचाव अभियान चलाया गया है। अप्रैल के बाद से इस क्षेत्र में पर्यटकों के लापता होने की यह दूसरी घटना है।

राजा रघुवंशी, एक ट्रांसपोर्ट व्यवसायी, और उनकी पत्नी सोनम को आखिरी बार 23 मई को शिलांग के कीटिंग रोड से सोहरा (चेरापूंजी) जाने के लिए दोपहिया वाहन किराए पर लेने के बाद देखा गया था, जो राज्य की राजधानी से लगभग 60 किलोमीटर दूर एक लोकप्रिय पर्यटन स्थल है। समाचार एजेंसी पीटीआई की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, उनका किराए का स्कूटर अगले दिन सोहरारिम गांव के पास लावारिस हालत में मिला।

इस जोड़े ने 11 मई को शादी की थी और 20 मई को अपना हनीमून शुरू किया था, शिलांग पहुंचने से पहले वे गुवाहाटी में मां कामाख्या मंदिर सहित कई जगहों पर रुके थे।

रिश्तेदारों द्वारा दर्ज कराई गई गुमशुदगी की शिकायत के बाद, स्थानीय पुलिस, गांव की रक्षा दलों और स्वयंसेवकों ने जंगल की पगडंडियों, चट्टानों और दूरदराज के गांवों में गहन खोज शुरू की है। पूर्वी खासी हिल्स के पुलिस अधीक्षक विवेक सिम ने कहा कि 50 से अधिक कर्मियों को टीमों में तैनात किया गया है।

सिम ने पीटीआई को बताया, “गांव के रक्षा दल और ग्रामीणों के सदस्यों के अलावा 10 के समूहों में 50 से अधिक कर्मियों को राजा रघुवंशी और उनकी पत्नी सोनम को खोजने के लिए खोज अभियान में लगाया गया था।” सोहरा में एक पुलिस अधिकारी ने कहा, “क्षेत्र का भूभाग सुंदर है, लेकिन कठोर है।

घने जंगल, गहरी घाटियाँ और फिसलन भरी ढलानें बचाव प्रयासों को मुश्किल बनाती हैं।” दंपति को आखिरी बार नोंगरियाट होमस्टे और बाद में मावलखियाट गांव में खोजा गया था, दोनों ही इलाके चुनौतीपूर्ण स्थलाकृति के लिए जाने जाते हैं। उनके मोबाइल फोन आखिरी बार मावलखियाट के पास मिले थे।

अधिकारी ओसरा हिल के पास एक रिसॉर्ट की भी जांच कर रहे हैं, जहां स्कूटर मिला था। खोज में सहायता के लिए राजा के भाई विपिन और सोनम के भाई गोविंद इंदौर से आए हैं। गूगल मैप्स और यात्रा तस्वीरों का उपयोग करके, गोविंद ने दंपति के अंतिम ज्ञात स्थान को कम करने में मदद की।

किराये की एजेंसी ने पुष्टि की कि स्कूटर राजा और सोनम ने किराए पर लिया था। इंदौर पुलिस आयुक्त संतोष सिंह ने डीसीपी क्राइम ब्रांच राजेश कुमार त्रिपाठी को मेघालय पुलिस के साथ समन्वय स्थापित करने का काम सौंपा है, जबकि मध्य प्रदेश के कैबिनेट मंत्री तुलसीराम सिलावट ने परिवार को पूर्ण सहयोग का आश्वासन दिया है।

मध्य प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री मोहन यादव ने मेघालय सरकार से दंपत्ति को खोजने के प्रयासों को तेज करने का आह्वान किया। मंगलवार को मेघालय के मुख्यमंत्री कॉनराड संगमा के साथ फोन पर बातचीत में यादव ने “त्वरित और प्रभावी कार्रवाई” का अनुरोध किया।

बाद में उन्होंने एक्स पर पोस्ट किया, “इंदौर निवासी और नवविवाहित राजा और उनकी पत्नी सोनम रघुवंशी के मेघालय भ्रमण के दौरान शिलांग के ओसरा हिल्स में लापता होने की खबर बेहद चिंताजनक है।

” यह लापता होना हंगरी के पर्यटक पुस्कास ज़ोल्ट की मौत के बाद हुआ है, जिसका शव अप्रैल में रामदैत गांव के पास मिला था, उसके लापता होने की रिपोर्ट के 12 दिन बाद।

पुलिस ने उसकी मौत को अकेले ट्रेक के दौरान दुर्घटनावश गिरने के कारण बताया। उस घटना के बाद, अधिकारियों ने पर्यटकों को प्रमाणित स्थानीय गाइड के बिना जंगलों, चट्टानों और दूरदराज के रास्तों पर अकेले जाने से बचने की सलाह दी।

Investing money for your children’s future: A complete guide

Every parent wishes for their child to have a better future—better education, career, and lifestyle. But to make this dream come true, love and upbringing alone are not enough, but financial planning and investments are also required. Investing money on time and in the right way can make your children’s future secure and independent.

In this article, we will learn how to invest for your children, when to invest, in which options, and what things should be kept in mind while investing.

Why is investment needed for children?

Increasing education costs

Education has become very expensive in today’s time. College fees, coaching for competitive exams, studying abroad—all these expenses can go up to lakhs of rupees.

Inflation

Inflation reduces the purchasing power of your money every year. What is possible for ₹5 lakh today, can become an expense of more than ₹10 lakh after 10 years.

Independent future

Investing can help you make your children financially independent so that they don’t have to take loans.

When and how to start investing?

  • Start Early

If you start investing right from the birth of your child, you get time to build a large corpus by making small monthly investments. The magic of compounding is that investments grow faster with more time.

  • Set Clear Goals

You must first decide the purpose for which you are investing:

  • Schooling
  • Higher education
  • Studying abroad

Top investment options for children

Public Provident Fund (PPF)

  • Tenure: 15 years
  • Interest rate: Fixed by the government, usually 7–8%
  • Tax benefits: Tax exemption under section 80C
  • Risk: Very low
  • Recommendation: Open a PPF account in the name of the children and invest for the long term.

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY)

  • Benefits: Only for daughters
  • Interest rate: Around 8%
  • Lock-in period: Till the girl child turns 21
  • Tax benefits: EEE (Exempt-Exempt-Exempt) category
  • Recommendation: If you have a daughter, this is an excellent scheme.

Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) – in Mutual Funds

  • Returns: Up to 10–14% (in the long term)
  • Risk: Market based, but the risk reduces in the long run
  • Flexibility: Can start or stop investing anytime
  • Tip: Build a large corpus by investing small monthly investments

Child Plan Insurance Policy

  • Benefits: Both protection and savings for children
  • Premium: Fixed
  • Rating: Read carefully, some plans offer very low returns
  • Tip: If you want a certain amount along with protection, you can choose this option.

Fixed Deposit (FD) – In the name of children

  • Risk: Nil
  • Return: 6–7%
  • Taxation: Tax applicable on interest
  • Recommended: Suitable for short term goals

Gold – Digital or Sovereign Gold Bond

  • Benefits: Better protection against inflation
  • Return: Between 6–8%
  • Recommended: Suitable for children’s marriage or long term investment

Things to keep in mind while investing

  • Keep the objective and time frame clear
  • Decide the objective and time frame of every investment—e.g., ₹20 lakh is needed for child’s college fees in 18 years.

Diversification

  • Don’t keep your investments in one place. Make a mix of PPF, SIP, SSY etc.

Keep insurance separate

  • Keep insurance and investments separate. Term insurance is important for protecting children’s future.

Review every year

  • Evaluate your portfolio every year. Make changes if needed.

Teach your children too

  • When the children are a little older, start teaching them about investing so that they understand the responsibility too.

An example: 15-year investment plan

  • Suppose you have a one-year-old daughter and you want to create a corpus of ₹25 lakh by the time she turns 18.
  • Options Monthly investment Estimated annual return Fund after 17 years
  • SIP (Equity Fund) ₹5,000 12% Around ₹25.5 lakh
  • PPF ₹3,000 7.5% Around ₹11 lakh
  • SSY (for daughter) ₹2,000 8% Around ₹9 lakh

Thus, with a combined plan, you can create a corpus of up to ₹30 lakh.

Conclusion

Investing for your children’s future is not just a financial decision, but it is also a symbol of your love and responsibility. An early start, right planning, and disciplined investing can help you give your children a secure, independent, and successful life.

A small step today can become a big flight for your child tomorrow.

पार्टी कार्यालय में महिला के साथ वायरल वीडियो पर भाजपा नेता को नोटिस

पार्टी ने उत्तर प्रदेश के एक भाजपा नेता को राज्य की राजधानी लखनऊ से लगभग 120 किलोमीटर दूर गोंडा में जिला पार्टी कार्यालय में एक महिला के साथ उनके “अनुचित” वीडियो के बारे में स्पष्टीकरण देने के लिए नोटिस भेजा है।

एक पार्टी कार्यकर्ता ने वीडियो को “शर्मनाक” करार दिया और भाजपा नेतृत्व के समक्ष औपचारिक शिकायत दर्ज कराई। भाजपा के गोंडा प्रमुख अमर किशोर कश्यप को पार्टी ने सात दिनों के भीतर अपने आचरण के बारे में स्पष्टीकरण देने को कहा है।

भाजपा के प्रदेश महासचिव गोविंद नारायण शुक्ला ने श्री कश्यप को नोटिस जारी करते हुए कहा, “सोशल मीडिया पर प्रसारित वीडियो में ऐसा आचरण सामने आया है जो पार्टी की प्रतिष्ठा पर नकारात्मक प्रभाव डालता है और अनुशासनहीनता की श्रेणी में आता है।”

इसमें कहा गया है, “प्रदेश अध्यक्ष के निर्देशों के अनुसार, आपको सात दिनों के भीतर भाजपा प्रदेश कार्यालय को लिखित स्पष्टीकरण प्रस्तुत करने के लिए कहा जाता है। निर्धारित समय में संतोषजनक जवाब न देने पर सख्त अनुशासनात्मक कार्रवाई की जाएगी।”

श्री कश्यप ने कहा, “महिला हमारी पार्टी की सक्रिय सदस्य है। उसने मुझे फोन किया और कहा, ‘राष्ट्रपति जी, मेरी तबियत ठीक नहीं है। मैं आराम करना चाहती हूँ। मुझे कुछ देर के लिए रहने के लिए जगह दीजिए।’ इसलिए मैंने उसे उठाया और कार्यालय ले आया।”

एक अन्य वीडियो में, महिला सलवार कमीज पहने हुए है और उसके कंधे पर बैग लटका हुआ है। वह सीढ़ियों पर आगे चल रही है। राजनेता उसके पीछे है। वह उसे पकड़ता है, उसके कंधे पर हाथ रखता है, कुछ कदम चलता है और फिर उसे गले लगा लेता है, वीडियो में दिखाया गया है। थोड़ी देर गले मिलने के बाद दोनों अलग हो जाते हैं और राजनेता महिला के पीछे-पीछे सीढ़ियाँ चढ़ता है, जो वीडियो में दिखाया गया है, जो यहाँ समाप्त होता है।

अपना बचाव करते हुए, श्री कश्यप ने कहा, “सीढ़ियाँ चढ़ते समय उसे चक्कर आ रहा था, और मैंने उसे सहारा देने के लिए उसका हाथ पकड़ लिया। उसने भी मेरा हाथ पकड़ लिया। फुटेज का दुरुपयोग मुझे बदनाम करने के लिए किया जा रहा है।”

उन्होंने कहा, “अब अगर हम अपने कार्यकर्ताओं की मदद नहीं करेंगे तो हम किसकी मदद करें? और अगर किसी कार्यकर्ता की मदद करना अपराध है तो हम इस बारे में कुछ नहीं कह सकते।”

Hindi cinema is shocked by the sudden death of its popular actor Mukul Dev. Mukul Dev is known for his work in recent films like ‘Son of Sardar’, ‘R… Rajkumar’, ‘Jai Ho’. He was 54 years old.

Mukul’s elder brother Rahul Dev shared a picture on Instagram giving information about his funeral. With this, Rahul Dev wrote, “We are very sad to inform you that our brother Mukul Dev passed away last night in New Delhi. He is survived by his daughter Siya Dev. His siblings Rashmi Kaushal, Rahul Dev and his nephew Siddhant Dev will miss him very much. His funeral will be held at 5 pm today.”

Earlier, his close friend and actress Deepshikha Nagpal confirmed this news on social media. Sharing a throwback picture, she wrote in the Instagram story, “RIP”. Mukul Dev was last seen in the Hindi film ‘Ant The End’ with Divya Dutta. He is the younger brother of actor Rahul Dev.
