New Delhi, September 19, 2023 — As the country opens to the world’s most exciting sport, MotoGP™, the first Indian Grand Prix will be named the ‘IndianOil Grand Prix of India.’
IndianOil is a diversified, integrated energy company with a presence across oil, gas, petrochemical, and alternative energy.
Besides being the ‘Energy of India,’ the Fortune 500 company has been catalyzing the vision of making India a sporting nation.
The IndianOil Grand Prix of India will feature 42 teams and 84 riders. The race will see some of the biggest names in Grand Prix motorcycle racing, such as Francesco Bagnaia, Marc Marquez, Marco Bezzecchi, Brad Binder, Jack Miller, Jorge Martin, and Fabio Quartararo, among others, in action.
Last week, the first batch of motorcycles, engines, tires, and safety barriers arrived in New Delhi via air freight. The organizers transported them to the Buddh International Circuit, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, under heavy police security. The remaining bikes and equipment will arrive in the next lot.
IndianOil Grand Prix of India will occur at Buddh International Circuit in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, from the 22nd to the 24th of September. The event will kick off with the Tissot Sprint on September 22 at 15:30 (GMT +5:30), followed by the Grand Prix race on September 24 at 15:30.
MotoGP Bharat, the event’s promoter, has expressed its excitement at having IndianOil as the title sponsor for MotoGP Bharat. Pushkar Nath Srivastava, founder and COO of Fairstreet Sports, said the association with one of India’s energy giants excites the event.
The race will be live-streamed on Jio Cinema and Sports18 in India, and tickets for the event are available on BookMyShow. Last month, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Aditynath unveiled the tickets for the event. The tickets cost Rs 800 to Rs 40,000. MotoGP Bharat will be the biggest motorsport event in India since the Formula 1 Indian Grand Prix.

WASHINGTON, DC, September 18, 2023 — On September 20, 2023, the National Press Club in Washington, DC, will host the Press vs. Politicians Spelling Bee. This fun and friendly competition between lawmakers and reporters has been held since 1913 and is an excellent opportunity to bring people together through a friendly rivalry.
The competition will feature confirmed contestants from both sides. The politicians’ team includes Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH), Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA), Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA), and Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI).
Meanwhile, the press team includes defending champion Amy Wang, National Political Reporter for The Washington Post; Catalina Camia, Deputy News Director at Bloomberg Industry Group; Mark Walker, Investigative Reporter at The New York Times; James Graff, Justice and Judiciary Editor at The Wall Street Journal, and Fawn Johnson, News Director at Bloomberg Industry Group.
Axios’ Eileen O’Reilly will host this year’s Bee, and Dr. Jacques Bailly, the Scripps National Spelling Bee’s official pronouncer, will officiate. 2023 Bee Champion Dev Shah will also join the event.
Both teams are eager to win this year’s Bee. Team Press has won four out of the last five competitions and wants to continue their winning streak. Meanwhile, the politicians are determined to win this year’s Bee and take home the trophy.
The Press vs. Politicians Spelling Bee has a rich history from 1913. It has become an annual Washington tradition since its reinstatement on its 100th anniversary in 2013. This event is a great way to build relationships between politicians and the media covering them and promote the importance of spelling and good communication.

Paris, France, September 17, 2023 — Santiniketan, a cultural site in Birbhum district, West Bengal, India, has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The site is well-known for the university town of Visva-Bharati, established over a century ago by poet Rabindranath Tagore.
The announcement was made on Sunday by UNESCO on ‘X,’ congratulating India on getting the UNESCO tag for Santiniketan. The country had been working towards securing this recognition for a long time.
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee included Santiniketan in the UNESCO World Heritage List during its 45th session in Saudi Arabia. The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) had made the recommendation. ICOMOS is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to conserving and enhancing heritage sites worldwide.
Rabindranath Tagore, a renowned poet and philosopher, founded Santiniketan in rural West Bengal in 1901. The institution’s primary goal was to promote the unity of humanity, transcending religious and cultural boundaries. In 1921, the institution became a “world university” named “Visva Bharati,” further solidifying its vision of creating a global community that values unity and diversity.
Visva-Bharati, located in Santiniketan, is one of the most prestigious universities in India, with degree courses in humanities, social science, science, fine arts, music, performing arts, education, agricultural science, and rural reconstruction. Visva-Bharati was declared a central university and an institution of national importance by an Act of Parliament in 1951. The Prime Minister of India is the University’s Chancellor.

New Delhi, September 11, 2023 — The Education Minister of India, Dharmendra Pradhan, has stated that the New Delhi G20 Leaders’ Declaration provides a roadmap for an equitable and sustainable future through education. The declaration reflects the Education Working Group’s priorities on digital transformation, green transition, and women-led development. It highlights the importance of investing in human capital development, lifelong learning, and strengthening collaborations in research and innovation among higher education institutions.
Mr. Pradhan also said India is actively pursuing research collaborations with several countries. Joint initiatives, such as the MoUs between the Council of Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) and the Association of American Universities (AAU), will establish the India-U.S. Global Challenges Institute to advance new science and technology frontiers.
Other emerging multi-institutional collaborative education partnerships include those between New York University and IIT Kanpur Advanced Research Center, the Joint Research Centers of the State University of New York at Buffalo and IIT Delhi, Kanpur, Jodhpur, and BHU, and IIT Bombay joining the Chicago Quantum Exchange.
India is exploring university-level collaborations with other countries like Australia, UAE, Taiwan, and the UK in critical areas.
The skill sector focuses on sanitizing transnational standards with member countries by creating an International Reference Classification of occupations based on skill and qualification requirements, leading to better cross-country comparability and mutual recognition of qualifications. This commitment includes mutually establishing well-managed, regular, and skills-based migration pathways benefiting origin and destination countries.
According to Mr. Pradhan, India’s G20 presidency has provided an acceleration and a platform for demonstrating long-term systemic policy vision. By fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and innovative approaches, India and its G20 partners have created impetus for further coordinated action on futuristic education and training systems.

Baku, Azerbaijan, August 24, 2023 — Former world champion Magnus Carlsen defeated 18-year-old Indian prodigy R Praggnanandhaa in the World Cup Chess after two tie-breaks after a quiet draw in the second game of the finals. The match lasted about one and a half hours.
Carlsen won the crucial first rapid tiebreaker with black pieces in the evenly matched Giuoco Piano. Prag misplayed an attack on the black king in an even position, leading to an open and sharp endgame where he blundered in move 42.a6. Despite Carlsen’s suboptimal response, Prag continued to err in the next two moves, ultimately leading to his resignation on move 47.
Carlsen (playing as White) forced exchanges in a better position, resulting in a quiet game that ended in a draw on move 22, securing his first place.
The World Cup was the only major event Magnus Carlsen had not won in his career. He finished third in 2021. With this latest addition to his achievements, the world’s highest-rated player demonstrated that he is the ultimate force majeure of chess.
The International Chess Federation (FIDE) World Cup 2023 contest is in Baku, Azerbaijan, from July 29 to August 25, 2023.
