March 18,2025:If your content is important to you, it’s worth backing up. We live in a digital-first world where our most valued possessions—our photos, videos, files, and projects—are saved on various devices. Whether it’s human error or accidental deletion, lost, stolen, or damaged hardware,e or cyberattacks, we often aren’t prepared. Having a backup plan can help us save what’s most important to us.

So, how do you ensure that your data is backed up? Well, this checklist will help you evaluate your current backup strategy, helping you turn it into a foolproof strategy and avoid the pain of losing critical data.

Are you following the golden rule of backup?

The first step of having a robust backup is ensuring that you follow the 3-2-1 strategy. This means having three copies of your data, stored on two different types of media, with one copy kept offsite. Backups should be stored in two different types of media, for one backup, you can use the SanDisk Extreme® Portable SSD which provides powerful performance and up to 8TB* of massive storage capacity for one copy and another copy preferably on a cloud storage platform. With up to three-meter drop protection and IP65 water and dust resistance, the SSD is rugged and a dependable storage solution. So, you can have one copy of your data on the SanDisk Extreme® Portable SSD, stored locally, and one on the cloud.

Invest in the right storage solution

It is important to understand, with storage needs, ‘one size fits all’ is not true. A reliable backup plan starts with choosing high-quality storage solutions that fit your needs. For instance, for faster backups and quick access to large files, one can rely on a high-performance SSD such as the SanDisk Extreme PRO® Portable SSDs, which offers up to 2000MB/s** read/write speeds and up to 4TB of storage capacity.

In addition, for a mobile device or other compatible product, having a large capacity microSD^TM card or SD card can allow flexibility, ensuring enough space for storing more content before needing to offload to a long-term storage solution. Whether transferring high-resolution content or capturing 4K video, the 2TB SanDisk Extreme PRO® SDXC™ UHS-I and 2TB SanDisk Extreme PRO® microSDXC™ UHS-I memory cards provide faster, more reliable performance, helping creators tackle even the most data-intensive projects quickly and with ease.

Automated your backup?

With the devices like SanDisk® Mobile Pen Drive and SanDisk® portable SSDs, there’s no need to worry and remind yourself to back up data as these devices can be set up to automatically back up your latest data. The SanDisk® Memory Zone™ app lets you unlock, access and back up your phone’s files in one location. It can also automatically move files from your device to your drive to free up space.

Mumbai, 18 March 2025: Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) proudly announces the signing of a loan agreement with Shriram Finance Limited (Shriram) at a ceremony held in Mumbai. The loan is co-financed with Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Export-Import Bank of India (India Exim Bank). This milestone marks JICA’s first co-financing project in India with India Exim Bank and represents a significant step in strengthening cooperation with key financial institutions to support India’s socio-economic development.

JICA loan is designed to strengthen Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) involved in agriculture- and food-linked transportation. These enterprises, located primarily in rural and lagging states, are vital to addressing geographical disparities in India, where approximately 65% of the population resides in rural areas. By improving financial access for underserved communities, this initiative aims to enhance rural livelihoods, reduce poverty, and contribute to sustainable economic growth.

The loan aligns with India’s “Priority Sector Lending” policy, led by the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India, which encourages lending to socially vulnerable groups. It also complements Japan’s global development agenda. Specifically, it reflects the former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s commitment, as announced at the G7 Hiroshima Summit in 2023, to promote sustainable development through two facilities: the “Facility for Accelerating Financial Inclusion (FAFI)” and the “Facility for Supporting Agricultural Supply Chain and Food Security Enhancement (SAFE).” These programs, with USD 1.5 billion and USD 1 billion in funding, respectively, aim to address global challenges such as financial inclusion and food security.

Speaking on the occasion, Shigeo Honzu, Deputy Director General, JICA Private-Sector Investment Finance Division, stated, “This project is a testament to the strong partnerships we have built with Shriram Finance, ADB, and India Exim Bank. I deeply appreciate the tireless efforts of our partners, which have brought us to this significant moment. This initiative will not only strengthen financial inclusion but also help address critical challenges such as rural poverty and the need for sustainable economic opportunities in India.”

Kanpur, 18th March 2025: i-merit, the flagship program of Scholars Merit Online Pvt. Ltd., has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kanpur Institute of Technology (KIT) to implement i-merit Nova courses as part of the i-merit Accelerate and Elevate programs. This collaboration will provide 500 students with a structured three-month (12-week) industry-aligned curriculum, aimed at enhancing their employability by equipping them with essential technical and soft skills.

The i-merit Nova program is designed to address the growing skill gap between academic knowledge and industry requirements. With the current job market demanding highly skilled professionals, the inclusion of these courses within KIT’s curriculum will help students prepare for real-world challenges. The courses will focus on hands-on learning, industry exposure, and practical skill-building to ensure students are job-ready upon graduation.

Speaking about the partnership, Sumit Shukla, CEO of Scholars Merit, stated:
“The gap between academia and industry is widening, and traditional curriculums are struggling to keep pace with evolving job market demands. At i-merit, we are committed to bridging this divide by offering specialized programs that prepare students for actual workplace challenges. Our collaboration with KIT will empower 500 students with the skills they need to secure meaningful employment and thrive in their careers.”

Dr. Brajesh Varshney, Director, Kanpur Institute of Technology, highlighted the importance of this collaboration, saying, “At KIT, we believe in providing students with not just theoretical knowledge but also practical industry exposure. Our Skill Development Cell already conducts various training programs, industrial visits, and workshops in collaboration with leading industry players. Partnering with i-merit further strengthens our commitment to ensuring our students are industry-ready and equipped with relevant skill sets to succeed in their professional journeys.”

Kanpur Institute of Technology (KIT), established in 2004 by a team of IIT alumni, is one of the leading technical institutions in Uttar Pradesh. Approved by AICTE and PCI, and affiliated with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow, KIT has been consistently ranked among the top private engineering colleges in India. The institute has strong industry collaborations with organizations like HP, HCL, Wipro, IBM, and Kotak Life Insurance, providing students with hands-on training and placement opportunities.

This partnership with KIT is part of i-merit’s broader initiative to collaborate with over 100 institutions across India, equipping 50,000 students with industry-relevant skills by December 2025. This follows recent MoUs signed with SRM Institute of Science & Technology, Delhi NCR Campus, and Sri Sai Group of Institutes, further strengthening i-merit’s commitment to skill development and employment readiness.

New Delhi, 18^th March 2025 – The World Wide Fund for Nature – India (WWF-India) is celebrating the convergence of Earth Hour 2025 with World Water Day this year on March 22^nd, to emphasise the importance of collective action for the conservation of the planet and its precious water resources. In addition to bringing together millions to Switch Off and create The Biggest Hour for Earth, this year, WWF-India is inspiring individuals to #BeWaterWise in all aspects of their lives—throughout the year.

Dia Mirza, actor and UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador; Shantanu Moitra, celebrated music composer and WWF-India’s Hope & Harmony Ambassador; Viswanathan Anand, Chess Grandmaster and Education Ambassador, WWF-India; Ranveer Brar, Indian celebrity chef; Sudarsan Pattnaik, a world-renowned Indian sand artist and Padma Shri Awardee; Ricky Kej, Grammy-winning Indian musical composer and environmentalist; and Taba Chake, a Nyishi singer-songwriter from Arunachal Pradesh, are among the voices that have joined the world’s largest grassroots environmental movement.

In 2025, participants are encouraged not only to “Switch Off” but also to align with the theme #BeWaterWise, which underscores the importance of water conservation and sustainable practices. In India, where 1.4 billion people share just 4% of the world’s freshwater, the need for action is urgent. Estimates from Wetlands International (WI) indicate that nearly two of every five wetlands in India have lost their natural existence in the last 30 years, while 40% of water bodies have lost quality for the survival of aquatic life. This year’s World Water Day theme, Glacier Preservation, highlights the critical role glaciers play in supporting nearly two billion people who depend on meltwater for drinking, agriculture, and energy. Alarmingly, climate change, accelerated by human activity, caused glaciers to lose over 600 gigatons of water in 2023—the largest mass loss in five decades—contributing significantly to rising sea levels, now 20 cm higher than in 1900.

Sharing his thoughts, Mr Ravi Singh, Secretary-General and CEO of WWF-India, said, “Every year, Earth Hour brings together millions of people across India – and around the world – in a symbolic act of switching off lights for the planet. This year, its alignment with World Water Day has given us an opportunity to drive collective action for water conservation. I thank all our Earth Hour Water Ambassadors, dignitaries and supporters for gracing the Earth Hour Festival and lending their support to this event.”

The Earth Hour Festival 2025, to be held from 2pm to 7pm on March 22 at WWF-India’s Delhi office, will celebrate the #BeWaterWise campaign, combining music, art, architecture, and meaningful discussions on conservation. Renowned musician Shantanu Moitra will share stories from his journey along the Ganga River and perform some songs with Nyishi singer-songwriter Taba Chake from Arunachal Pradesh, who will use music to highlight his community’s connection with nature. An engaging discussion on how water shapes stories and spaces will take place among Tarana Sawhney (Chairperson, Confederation of Indian Industry’s Task Force for Art & Culture), Ratish Nanda (CEO, Aga Khan Trust for Culture India), and Vikramjit Singh Rooprai (author, Delhi Heritage: Top 10 Baolis). The festival will also give a platform to five Water Heroes — community stewards of conservation — who will join government dignitaries and the WWF-India team in conversations on grassroots transformation. An exclusive water-themed art installation made for WWF-India by scrap metal artist Gopal Namjoshi will be unveiled and a special address by Mr Bharat Lal, SG & CEO of National Human Rights Commission, will further enrich the event.

Shantanu Moitra, Hope & Harmony Ambassador, WWF-India, said, “I have been associated with WWF-India and Earth Hour for many years now. But this year’s theme and message of #BeWaterWise are very close to my heart. When I cycled over 2,700 kilometres along the river Ganga, I realised the significance of water conservation. I’m thrilled to be telling some of those tales and performing a few tunes as part of the Earth Hour Festival 2025 on March 22nd at WWF-India.”

Earth Hour 2025 will transcend the symbolic act of turning off lights by encouraging simple actions that help in reducing water footprint, minimising single-use plastics, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions to collectively drive meaningful change.

Actor and environmentalist Dia Mirza said, “Like every year, I’ll be switching off for Earth Hour – not only to join the biggest voluntary movement for the environment, but also to spend an hour doing something positive for nature together with my entire family. This year is doubly special as Earth Hour converges with World Water Day and WWF-India’s message of #BeWaterWise aligns with my philosophy. It’s easy to be water-wise in our daily lives, and every single act of change adds up to leave a big impact on our finite water resources, which face threats from human activity and climate change. It’s a timely campaign for the world’s water flows that sustain all life, and I’m excited to be a part of it!”

Chef Ranveer Brar said, “I’m excited to lend my voice to WWF-India’s Earth Hour 2025 campaign. As a conscious practice, I switch off all non-essential lights every day and especially on this day. This year, its convergence with World Water Day has made the campaign even more meaningful. It’s an opportunity for all of us to commit to preserving our limited resources and conserving the planet. #BeWaterWise is a great initiative, and WWF-India’s suggested actions are so easy to implement, that I hope everyone will take them up.”

Sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik reflected on the coming together of the two campaigns, “I have been associated with both Earth Hour and World Water Day for many years. As they converge this year, it’s a timely call for the world to act for the protection of our natural resources. I’m delighted to join this movement and feel that it is my obligation as an artist to add my own strokes to the canvas of conservation.”

2024 witnessed the biggest switch-off yet, with over 250 significant landmarks, monuments, government buildings, educational institutions, and corporates participating across India, making it the Biggest Hour for Earth. The campaign inspired Indians to ‘Give an Hour for Earth,’ collectively contributing 30 years’ worth of positive actions online and offline, earning India the #2 spot on the Global Earth Hour Leader Board. Additionally, the first Earth Hour Festival was hosted by WWF-India to facilitate conservation-themed activities and lifestyle interests.

Our goal at Ramagya is to equip every student with the expertise they need to thrive in their chosen fields.”

As industries across the globe continue to evolve, the gap between theoretical education and industry-ready skills widens. RIPS aims to close this gap, providing students with the knowledge, practical experience, and professional networking opportunities needed to excel in today’s competitive job market.

We welcome the establishment of the Inter-Ministerial-Industry Committee on Fintech (IMICF) as a significant step toward advancing financial inclusion and strengthening India’s digital financial ecosystem. A well-coordinated policy framework has the potential to drive exponential improvements in digital financial infrastructure, ensuring greater access for underserved communities, particularly in rural areas. Measures that enhance financial literacy and build trust in digital transactions will be instrumental in integrating small business owners, self-employed, farmers and laborers with need of digitizing cash, into India’s digital growth story.

We also look forward to measures that enable BFSI entities to scale efficiently and bring digital empowerment to the cash economy, including streamlined small-ticket digital lending and enhanced support for women entrepreneurs in financial services. Additionally, regulatory advancements such as improved ATM interchange rates, unlocking investments from savings in gold and other assets, and leveraging AI for fraud reduction will be essential in shaping a resilient and inclusive financial ecosystem.

At Findi, we remain committed to collaborating with stakeholders to drive innovation, financial accessibility, and sustainable growth across India’s fintech landscape.

Attributed to: Mr. Dilip Modi, Founder & CEO, Spice Money 

“The establishment of a dedicated fintech panel by the government is a pivotal move that underscores the critical role of fintech in shaping India’s digital economy. As regulatory landscapes evolve, it is imperative to foster a framework that balances innovation with consumer protection. A streamlined regulatory approach will further strengthen last-mile delivery, allowing fintechs to continue driving financial inclusion and digital empowerment at scale.

At Spice Money, we have seen how supportive policies can transform lives. Our network of over 15 lakh Adhikaris/Merchant across Bharat is delivering essential financial services to underserved communities. The fact that senior officials from key departments such as MeitY, DPIIT, the Department of Economic Affairs, and NITI Aayog are coming together highlights the government’s commitment to understanding the views of various industries. This collaborative approach will ensure that the committee identifies challenges, analyzes global best practices, and makes comprehensive recommendations for a robust fintech ecosystem.

For a thriving fintech ecosystem, it is essential to address key issues such as the classification of fintech models, integrating non-bank business correspondents more effectively, and enabling banks to adopt face authentication for cash deposits and withdrawals to enhance financial inclusion. Moreover, ensuring the sustainability of fintechs by addressing challenges like cash flow disruptions often caused by account lockouts will help in fostering long-term growth and resilience.

A well-defined regulatory framework can further accelerate entrepreneurship, enhance financial literacy, and integrate millions of unbanked and underbanked individuals into the formal economy. We also hope that the government will think about enhancing the conditions of the Business Correspondents in India as they are the backbone of providing digital financial inclusion services across Bharat. This will ensure that no one is left behind in India’s financial growth journey, fostering inclusive development and digital empowerment at scale.”
