Badhna Hai Toh Yahan Judna Hai’ campaign launched to boost participation in ‘Skill India Digital Hub’
To build a digitally skilled India, the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Minister of State for Education, Jayant Chaudhary, launched a nationwide campaign titled “Badhna Hai Toh Yahan Judna Hai” at the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The initiative will boost participation in the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), the government’s integrated digital ecosystem for skilling, employment, and lifelong learning. The campaign will strengthen India’s digital skilling infrastructure, bridging the gap between learning and livelihood opportunities. With the country’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, the move signals a renewed focus on enabling citizens to upskill, reskill, and adapt to the fast-evolving job landscape shaped by artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and digital transformation. To maximise outreach and connect with citizens across all demographics, the campaign has taken in Amitabh Bachchan. His association with “Badhna Hai Toh Yahan Judna Hai” is expected to generate widespread awareness about SIDH and inspire millions to actively engage with digital skilling opportunities. Also Read: From 26/11 to October 7: PM Modi calls for global action against terrorism while addressing Israeli Parliament Knesset The campaign’s message, “If you want to grow, connect here,” embodies inclusivity, empowerment, and self-driven progress. Through social media promotions, digital advertisements, and QR-enabled awareness drives, the campaign aims to reach both urban and rural populations, ensuring no individual is left behind in the nation’s journey toward a digital future. Empowering India’s Workforce through SIDH As a comprehensive digital platform, SIDH has already registered over 1.5 crore candidates, making it one of India’s largest integrated systems for skilling and employment. Developed to connect learners, trainers, employers, and industry experts on one platform, SIDH integrates multiple government skilling schemes and leverages cutting-edge technology to offer an intuitive, mobile-first experience. Key features of SIDH include: AI-driven personalization: Learners receive customized course recommendations based on their interests, skill level, and career goals. Multilingual accessibility: The platform is available in 21 Indian languages, ensuring inclusivity for citizens from every region. Secure digital credentials: Courses completed on SIDH generate digitally verified certificates that can be accessed through QR-code-enabled digital CVs, simplifying the hiring process. Ease of access: Aadhaar-based eKYC verification and OTP-enabled mobile login streamline registration and ensure authenticity. Industry-aligned content: Training modules are developed in partnership with industry leaders, ensuring alignment with current and emerging job market needs. SIDH also serves as a bridge between skill seekers and employers, facilitating job matching through verified profiles and providing opportunities for apprenticeships, internships, and on-the-job training. “Skill India Digital Hub represents the next leap in leveraging technology for empowerment,” he said. “Through this campaign, we invite every Indian student, professional, entrepreneurs, and job seekers to join the ecosystem and take charge of their growth journey. ‘Badhna Hai Toh Yahan Judna Hai’ is not just a slogan; it is a call for collective participation in building a future-ready nation.” He further added that the campaign would play a key role in democratizing access to skill development and ensuring that every citizen, regardless of geography or socioeconomic background, can enhance their skills and benefit from India’s expanding digital economy. India’s ambition to become a global skill capital requires a strong digital backbone that connects learning to livelihoods. With more than 1.5 crore individuals already on SIDH, the platform is expected to scale exponentially under this new campaign. As industries increasingly adopt automation, data analytics, AI, and robotics, the nature of work is changing rapidly. SIDH’s AI-enabled tools will help users anticipate market trends and acquire the right skills for the future. From short-term certification courses to advanced professional programs, the platform caters to diverse learning needs and career stages. By linking traditional skills with modern technologies, the initiative also supports sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, IT, and healthcare, creating pathways to sustainable employment. Interactive QR codes, digital kiosks, and multilingual awareness materials will help potential learners explore SIDH’s offerings and register easily. The campaign visuals will celebrate India’s diversity, featuring stories of learners from across the country and diverse backgrounds who have transformed their lives through digital skills.

How Vitalik Buterin’s 11,422 ETH Liquidation Is Testing Ethereum’s Bear Market Absorption – Details
Ethereum has faced persistent selling pressure throughout the year, with price action repeatedly failing to reclaim the $2,000 level. Despite intermittent rebound attempts, momentum has remained weak, reflecting cautious sentiment across both retail and institutional participants. The broader market environment — characterized by tightening liquidity, macro uncertainty, and subdued risk appetite — has further complicated Ethereum’s recovery path, leaving the asset locked in a fragile consolidation phase. Related Reading: Why XRP’s 0.16 Leverage Floor Ends The Era Of The Flash Crash – And the Hope for a Quick Recovery Recent on-chain data has added another layer to this narrative. According to blockchain analytics platform Arkham, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has sold an additional 675.88 ETH, worth roughly $1.25 million, in the past several hours. Over the last month alone, his total ETH sales have reached approximately 11,422 ETH, equivalent to about $23.33 million at prevailing market prices. Buterin remains one of the most influential figures in the Ethereum ecosystem, widely recognized as the protocol’s principal architect and a key voice in its technical and strategic direction. Transactions associated with such prominent insiders often attract attention because they can influence market sentiment, even when motivated by operational, philanthropic, or diversification needs rather than outright bearish positioning. Vitalik’s Ethereum Distribution Progress Nears Completion On-chain tracking suggests that Vitalik Buterin’s recent transactions are part of a broader planned distribution totaling approximately 16,384 ETH. Based on the latest observed transfers, roughly 70% of that amount appears to have already been executed. This leaves an estimated 4,962 ETH — valued near $9.5 million at current prices — potentially still pending. While these figures depend on wallet attribution accuracy, they provide a useful framework for interpreting recent market flows. From a market-structure perspective, such activity does not automatically imply directional intent. Large transfers from prominent figures often trigger short-term sentiment reactions because participants anticipate potential sell-side liquidity. However, historical precedent shows that founder-related transactions frequently relate to treasury management, ecosystem funding, or diversification rather than speculative positioning. In the near term, awareness that additional ETH may still enter the market can contribute to cautious positioning among traders, particularly in a fragile liquidity environment. Some participants may reduce exposure preemptively, which can amplify volatility even if actual selling volume remains moderate relative to total market depth. At the same time, markets typically absorb known supply events over time. If the remaining distribution proceeds gradually and demand remains stable, the overall price impact may remain contained rather than structurally bearish. Related Reading: The $33 Billion Drain: Bitcoin Realized Cap Craters as Capital Abandons the Network for a Second Month Price Tests Long-Term Support As Weekly Momentum Remains Under Pressure Ethereum continues to trade under sustained pressure, with price now hovering near the $1,900 zone after failing to reclaim the $2,000 psychological threshold. The weekly chart shows a clear loss of momentum following the rejection near the $3,500–$4,000 region earlier in the cycle, with lower highs and lower lows defining the current structure. This pattern typically reflects a transition from expansion to consolidation or corrective behavior rather than an immediate trend reversal. From a moving-average perspective, ETH is trading below the 50-week and 100-week averages, both of which are beginning to slope downward. This alignment generally signals weakening intermediate-term momentum. The 200-week average remains below price but is approaching as potential structural support, making this zone particularly relevant for longer-term positioning. Related Reading: The Saylor Discount: Why Bitcoin Trading Below Strategy’s Realized Price is a Gift for Late-Cycle Allocators Volume dynamics suggest increased activity during recent selloffs, indicating distribution rather than passive consolidation. However, there are early signs of stabilization as volatility compresses, often a precursor to either continuation or a relief rebound. If Ethereum fails to reclaim the $2,000–$2,200 region convincingly, downside probes toward the long-term average remain plausible. Conversely, sustained acceptance above that level would be required to rebuild bullish momentum and restore confidence among sidelined capital. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
