Reading down the provision that put a limit on the age of the child for an adoptive mother to be entitled for maternity leave, the Supreme Court on Tuesday also urged Centre to come up with a provision recognising paternity leave as a social security benefit.

House panel recommends mental health support for bureaucrats

Citing the pressures of the "increasingly complex" administrative environment and need for strengthening the "service ethos" amongst civil servants, a Parliamentary Standing Committee has recommended the government introduce mental health support and training on "seva bhav" (spirit of service) for bureaucrats.


6.

India's GDP debate: Right questions, wrong numbers

How accurately does India's GDP capture what is happening in the economy? It is a question serious economists have been wrestling with for some years. The February 27 revision to the national accounts methodology-developed through what even the authors of a recent paper on the issue describe as "commendable consultations" - is the most substantive effort to improve GDP estimation.


7.

E-transmission duty: US seeks permanent curbs, India opposes

India is set to oppose a key US-led World Trade Organisation (WTO) proposal seeking a permanent moratorium on customs duties on electronic transmissions at the 14th Ministerial Conference (MC14) set to be held in Cameroon later this month, The Indian Express has learned.

Less than 7% of male grads get permanent salaried job in 1 year

Less than 7% of male Indian graduates manage to find a permanent salaried job within a year, with the proportion being an even lower 3.7% when it comes to a white-collar job, according to Azim Premji University's (APU) State of Working India 2026 report. The report, released on Tuesday, also said a mere 4% of males who pass the 12th standard find a permanent salaried job in the first year, with the figure being a minuscule 1.5% for white-collar jobs.


9.

Macro impact of crude price of up to $90/bbl 'almost insignificant': CEA

The Macroeconomic impact of global crude oil prices of up to $90 per barrel on the Indian economy is "almost insignificant or not relevant", Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran has told the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance. However, should prices rise to $130/bbl and stay there for 2-3 quarters, then headline retail inflation in FY27 could jump to 5.5% and GDP growth could fall to 6.4%.


10.

China's ethnic unity law shows little tolerance for diversity

"The main thrust of the law is integration, emphasising that while ethnicities have their own valuable traditions and languages, there must be a common sense of identity as 'Chinese People' and building this conception requires some assimilation." While integration generally means di-verse parts coming together, assimilation sees groups mirroring the practices of the dominant group to blend in.


11.

How the global energy shock threatens India's Goldilocks era

India has always been dependent on the world's energy producers on account of it having to import a vast majority of its fuel needs. But the last half-a-decade, starting with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the US and Israel's attacks on Iran and the subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz, has shown just how vulnerable the economy is.

The Transgender Protection (Amendment) Bill 2026 seeks to remove the right to gender self-identification, recognised by the Supreme Court in its landmark 2014 judgment, and introduce medical certification for identity recognition.
