Chandigarh, Apr 29 (BNP): Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare J.P. Nadda will inaugurate the 10th National Summit on Good and Replicable Practices and Innovations in Public Health Systems in Chandigarh on April 30, with the two-day event scheduled to continue till May 1, 2026.

The summit is being organised by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, as a flagship platform to showcase innovative, impactful, and scalable public health practices adopted by various States and Union Territories.

The inaugural session will be attended by Nayab Singh Saini, Chief Minister of Haryana, and Arti Singh Rao, Haryana’s Health and Family Welfare Minister, along with senior officials from the Centre and state governments.

Participants will include Additional Chief Secretaries, Principal Secretaries (Health), Mission Directors, nodal officers under the National Health Mission (NHM), and senior representatives from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Delegates from the National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC) and Regional Resource Centre–North East (RRC-NE) are also expected to attend.

Officials said the summit aims to promote cross-learning among states by recognising successful initiatives and encouraging replication of proven healthcare models across the country.

The annual event provides a platform for states and UTs to present evidence-based, technology-driven, and outcome-oriented interventions that have led to measurable improvements in healthcare delivery and public health outcomes.

Since its launch in 2013, the summit has emerged as an important forum for sharing best practices and innovations in India’s healthcare system.

Apr 29 (BNP): India is rapidly positioning itself as one of the world’s most accessible destinations for CAR-T cell therapy, driven by advances in biotechnology and more affordable treatment options, according to ImmunoACT.

The company highlighted that India’s growing capabilities in cell and gene therapy are helping make advanced cancer treatments more accessible to patients, both domestically and internationally. CAR-T therapy, which involves modifying a patient’s immune cells to target cancer, is considered a breakthrough in oncology but remains highly expensive in many parts of the world.

Industry experts note that India’s cost advantage, expanding clinical infrastructure, and skilled scientific talent pool are contributing to its emergence as a competitive global centre for advanced therapies. This is also supported by increasing investment in biotech research and stronger collaboration between academia and industry.

ImmunoACT said that India’s progress in this field reflects a broader shift toward innovation-led healthcare solutions that are both effective and affordable. The country is also focusing on scaling up production capabilities and improving regulatory pathways to support faster access to such therapies.

With growing global interest in cost-effective cancer treatment solutions, India is expected to play a more significant role in the future of cell and gene therapy worldwide.

The development marks a key milestone in the country’s journey toward becoming a global hub for advanced medical innovation and accessible healthcare technologies.

Seoul, Apr 29 (BNP): Nvidia and South Korea’s Doosan Robotics have expanded their collaboration to accelerate development in humanoid and advanced industrial robotics powered by artificial intelligence.

The development reflects a broader industry trend where artificial intelligence and robotics are increasingly merging to create next-generation smart machines designed for industrial use.

The collaboration is expected to support innovation in intelligent automation and strengthen the future of AI-driven robotics solutions worldwide.

New Delhi, Apr 29 (BNP): The Indian bullion market is witnessing a major correction, with gold and silver prices falling sharply after touching record highs earlier this year, bringing relief to buyers and triggering fresh interest among investors.

According to market data, gold prices have fallen by around ₹26,000 per 10 grams, while silver has plunged by nearly ₹1.48 lakh per kilogram over the last 89 days since hitting all-time highs on January 29, 2026.

As per the latest figures, 24-carat gold is trading around ₹1.50 lakh per 10 grams, down from its peak of ₹1.76 lakh, while silver has declined to nearly ₹2.38 lakh per kg from a record high of ₹3.86 lakh per kg.

On April 28, gold prices reportedly dropped by ₹1,629 per 10 grams, while silver fell by ₹5,381 per kilogram, reflecting continued pressure in the precious metals market.

Market analysts attributed the steep decline to profit booking after a strong rally, a strengthening US dollar, easing geopolitical tensions, and reduced demand for safe-haven assets.

Experts said many investors who entered the market during the price surge are now cashing out gains, resulting in a broad-based correction across the bullion segment.

Despite the short-term bearish trend, analysts remain optimistic about the long-term outlook for gold and silver, citing inflation concerns, global economic uncertainty, and sustained physical demand.

Jewellery traders said the price drop has encouraged retail buyers, especially ahead of the upcoming wedding and festive season, with many consumers viewing the correction as a buying opportunity.

However, experts advised investors to remain cautious and closely track global central bank decisions, currency movements, and geopolitical developments before making fresh investments.

New Delhi, Apr 29 (BNP): India has set an ambitious goal of achieving 500 GW of clean energy capacity by 2030, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said, highlighting the country’s strong performance in climate action.

Speaking at a climate resilience dialogue in New Delhi, Goyal said India has already met its earlier renewable energy targets ahead of schedule and continues to rank among the top performers globally in meeting its climate commitments under the G20 framework.

He noted that India’s solar energy capacity target, initially set at 20 GW, was significantly scaled up to 100 GW after 2014 and achieved within the planned timeframe, reflecting the country’s accelerated push toward clean energy expansion.

Goyal said India has evolved from being viewed as a cautious participant in global climate discussions to becoming a key leader, especially since the Paris COP21 agreement, where it played a significant role in building consensus among developed and developing nations.

He also pointed to India’s growing global economic engagement, with active trade discussions underway with several countries across regions including North America, the Middle East, Africa, and Eurasia. According to him, the world is increasingly recognising India’s growth potential and its expanding role in global trade partnerships.

The minister added that climate action in India is no longer seen as a burden but as an economic opportunity, with the renewable energy sector contributing to job creation, industrial growth, and export potential.

He highlighted major reforms in the power sector, including the development of a unified national grid, expansion of transmission infrastructure, and efforts to strengthen base-load capacity to support renewable integration.

Goyal also stressed the importance of collective action in addressing climate challenges, urging individuals and industries to adopt energy-efficient practices such as reducing consumption, improving efficiency, and supporting sustainable behaviour changes.

He said such combined efforts will be crucial not only for achieving climate goals but also for unlocking new economic opportunities in emerging sectors.
