Union Ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw, C.R. Patil, Chirag Paswan, K. Ram Mohan Naidu, and Jayant Chaudhary, along with three Chief Ministers—Devendra Fadnavis, Chandrababu Naidu, and Revant Reddy—are set to participate in the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025 in Davos, a renowned ski resort in Switzerland, next month. The event will run from January 20, 2025, and will attract hundreds of global government and business leaders. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Naidu will be accompanied by his son and senior minister Nara Lokesh. Other notable attendees from India include Karnataka’s Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, Tamil Nadu Minister TRB Rajaa, and Uttar Pradesh Minister Suresh Khanna. Among the attendees is also actor Bhumi Pednekar, famous for her performances in films such as “Dum Laga Ke Haisha,” “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha,” and “Saand Ki Aankh.” The meeting is expected to draw over 50 heads of state and government, alongside officials from major international organizations, including the United Nations, IMF, World Bank, Interpol, NATO, European Central Bank, and WTO. Senior ministers from Pakistan and Bangladesh will also be present, including Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser and interim government head, Muhammad Yunus. Vaishnaw, who serves as the Minister for Railways, Information & Broadcasting, and Electronics & IT, participated in last year’s meeting alongside fellow ministers Smriti Irani and Hardeep Singh Puri. This year, he will be joined by Minister of Jal Shakti Patil, Minister of Food Processing Industries Paswan, Minister of Civil Aviation Naidu, and Minister of State for Skill Development and Education Chaudhary. Although Prime Minister Narendra Modi has attended the meeting in the past, his participation this year has not yet been confirmed. The overarching theme for the summit will be “collaboration for the intelligent age.” This edition of the annual meeting will take place amid notable global transitions, including a change in U.S. leadership and ongoing geopolitical challenges, such as the conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia. Both Modi and Donald Trump attended the Forum for the first time as India’s and the U.S.’s leaders, respectively, in 2018. Modi, serving his third consecutive term since earlier this year, and Trump, preparing for his second term, are expected to be key discussion points at Davos. Maharashtra Chief Minister Fadnavis and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Naidu are seasoned attendees of the event, while Telangana Chief Minister Reddy participated in the 2024 meeting as well. In addition to government representatives and civil society members, India’s presence will include executives from major business conglomerates like Reliance, Tata, Adani, Birla, Bharti, Mahindra, Godrej, Jindal, Bajaj, and Vedanta. Notable figures like Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani will be there, along with next-generation leaders from their groups. Technology leaders like Salil Parekh from Infosys, Rishad Premji from Wipro, Sumant Sinha from ReNew, Vijay Shekhar Sharma from Paytm, and Adar Poonawalla from the Serum Institute are also expected to attend. The Geneva-based WEF describes itself as an international organization for public-private cooperation and will convene its 55th annual meeting under the theme “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age.” This gathering aims to be a trusted global forum for dialogue, bringing together diverse stakeholders to navigate complex global challenges with a future-focused approach. Several sessions will feature Indian leaders, including discussions on “India’s Economic Blueprint.” As one of the fastest-growing major economies, India has been achieving over 8% growth, spurred by initiatives promoting local innovation and startups in technology and manufacturing, moving away from traditional export-driven models. Leaders will explore how India can leverage this new strategy to sustain global growth. The annual meeting will occur during a time of geo-economic fragmentation, geopolitical polarisation, and value-based divisions affecting societies globally. Concurrently, there is immense potential for productivity enhancement through exponential advancements in interconnected technologies—ranging from AI and quantum computing to energy tech, biotech, and health tech. Reviving and reshaping growth is essential for developing more robust and resilient economies, and the meeting will address strategies for transcending fragmentation in favor of a collaborative, people-centered agenda for the Intelligent Age. Participants will also discuss how to foster collaborative innovation to navigate today’s low-growth, high-debt economic landscape and tackle shared challenges, including climate change and ethical AI use.

Victor Wembanyama went to a park in New York City and played 1-on-1 with fans on Saturday. He even lost a couple of games. Not in basketball, though. Wemby was playing chess. Before the San Antonio Spurs left New York for a flight to Minnesota, Wembanyama put out the call on social media: “Who wants to meet me at the SW corner of Washington Square park to play chess? Im there,” Wembanyama wrote. It was 9:36 a.m. People began showing up almost immediately. Washington Square Park is a known spot for chess in New York — Bobby Fischer among others have famously played there, and it's been a spot used for multiple movie scenes featuring the game. Wembanyama was there for an hour in the rain, from about 10-11 a.m. He played four games, winning two and losing two before departing to catch the Spurs' flight. Wembanyama had been trying to get somewhere to play chess for the bulk of the team's time in New York — the Spurs played the Knicks on Christmas and won at Brooklyn on Friday night. The schedule never aligned, until Saturday morning. And even with bad weather, he bundled up to make it happen. He posed for photos with a couple of dozen people who showed up, braving a morning of cold rain to play chess with one of the NBA's biggest stars. “We need an NBA players only Chess tournament, proceeds go to the charity of choice of the winner,” he wrote on social media after his chess trip was over. Wembanyama is averaging 25.2 points and 10.1 rebounds this season, his second in the NBA after winning rookie of the year last season. AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBAFor the past combined 60 years, the two of us have embarked on a project that is still ongoing today. Our premise was simple. Our mission was to improve neighborhoods through various methods, grants and resources. The most prolific measure that changed thousands of lives is housing workcamps for habitable affordable housing. Many people know workcamps by their signature names such as World Changers, Appalachian Service Project, Humanitarian XP, Group Mission Trips and Mission Serve. Workcamp groups have changed communities nationally and internationally. They enlist residents to journey to various areas across the United States and abroad to work on owner-occupied homes for free. What many people don’t understand is that workcamp groups come typically for one week over the summer and bring 250-300 workers. They reside in West Virginia for a week and sleep on classroom floors while working on dilapidated houses when the temperature is 100 degrees or higher. Workcamp workers also pay a fee of $300 or more to work for a week. This helps cover food, insurance, residency, utilities and some building materials. This is an inspiring notion for workers to miss time from their family, pay to work, endure high temperatures and help someone else. In essence, most programs start in June and some programs end the first week of August to ensure students get home in time for school. Many organizations are involved in this process including cities, counties, the West Virginia Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Rebuilding Together, West Virginia National Guard, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Benedum Foundation, churches and non-profits such as the Southern Appalachian Labor School (SALS). Over the years, camps that we have served include Clendenin, St. Albans, Upper Kanawha Valley, Charleston, Huntington, Hurricane, Fayette County and Putnam County. It’s estimated that workcamps have rehabilitated over 4,000 homes over the years. For each camp, approximately $500,000 is invested in the local economy, which includes building materials, food, rentals, labor, equipment and much more. This is a significant investment for local businesses. One of the areas that was mentioned in our last article was the ability to provide tools and training for our children. Developing their ability to build porches, decks, ADA fixtures, gutters/downspouts, siding, roofing and other projects provides them the hands-on experience to tackle projects at their home or someone’s home. Workcamps are not easy to assemble. Sometimes funding is difficult to obtain due to various circumstances. Sometimes schools and other large buildings are not easily accessible due to their scheduling. Access to showers, large meeting rooms and other required space is not available in smaller schools. Churches typically do not have this type of square footage to accommodate sizeable groups. Workcamp groups often do not receive the praise they deserve. Envision a loved one who can no longer work on the family home. Visualize any other program that could assist a family member who may not have many family members or resources to help. Community Action Partnership (CAP) organizations help hundreds of residents each year with weatherization and deserve much credit for their work. As should Habitat for Humanity for its hard work to ensure families have homes. If there’s been a time to refocus on needs in West Virginia, it’s now. Our housing stock is in poor shape. We’re on the bad side of the housing curve with many homes built in the 19th century and not meeting fire, building or ADA codes. Our current motivation is to resell, resell and resell homes without addressing habitable health and safety issues. And there are no initiatives or enforcement measures to remedy deficiencies. Housing workcamps can only do so much. Many structures are slum and blight situations with few legal agencies and resources to address home owners to rectify before someone gets injured. Blighted structures often sit around for years while some families fight over their inheritance. Over the years, we couldn’t have been more appreciative of the work by workcamp groups that may travel from as far away as Alaska, Utah or California to be in West Virginia. They visit West Virginia and tell us they’ve been missing out of such an experience for years. One of the best offsets of workcamps is our ability to bring in thousands from all 50 states and visit Marshall University, West Virginia University, University of Charleston, West Virginia State University, West Virginia University Institute of Technology, BridgeValley, Mountwest, and community and technical colleges, which makes us one of the largest college recruiters in the state. To consider moving forward with this project, more help is needed. And the help that is needed is due to our increasing median age in the state. There’s always more need for local labor, assistance and funding. More local housing hubs are needed to focus and strategize how to serve our communities with weatherization, housing rehab, demolition, credit counseling, first-time home buyer programs, housing maintenance, refinancing and much more. Hubs could be constructed with neighborhood alliances, associations, residents and housing groups to focus on the needs of the community. Now is the time to prioritize funding, labor and/or assistance with all government agencies, churches, non-profits and neighborhood organizations toward housing revitalization. More often than not, limited or no funds are placed in budgets for housing rehabilitation. One day, we’ll all be senior citizens. It’s inevitable. West Virginia has the second oldest population in the country. We should actively support the workcamps programs as part of our effort to provide habitable shelter to all residents. Wouldn’t workcamps be a useful component in the future?

The war in Ukraine must end and the shooting stop immediately, according to President-elect Donald Trump. Trump, in late night social media postings that came following the apparent demise of the President Bashar al-Assad Russian-backed regime in Syria, said that now is the time an end to the war in Ukraine. “There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin. Too many lives are being so needlessly wasted, too many families destroyed, and if it keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse,” Trump wrote. The former president noted the war — which will enter its third year this February — has caused at least 400,000 Ukrainian casualties, and that “close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead, in a war that should never have started, and could go on forever.” Al-Assad’s apparent decision to abandon his post and flee the country for Moscow proves that Russia has its hands full in Ukraine, according to Trump. “Assad is gone. He has fled his country. His protector, Russia, Russia, Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, was not interested in protecting him any longer. There was no reason for Russia to be there in the first place. They lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine,” he said. Trump’s assertion regarding Ukrainian casualties was later backed up by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who for the first time since the war began acknowledged the vast number of killed and wounded Ukrainian fighters. “Since the start of the full-scale war, Ukraine has lost 43,000 soldiers killed in action on the battlefield. There have been 370,000 cases of medical assistance for the wounded,” the former comedian shared , noting that of those casualties, “approximately half of the soldiers wounded in action are later returning to the battlefield, and that our data also includes light or repeat injuries.” “Since September this year, Russia has been losing troops on the battlefield at a ratio of 5-to-1, or even 6-to-1, compared to us. They want to seize more land before global pressure on them becomes unbearable,” he said. The fighting in Ukraine began in 2014, when Putin illegally invaded and annexed Crimea. It continued in a pair of separatist regions in the eight years that followed, but exploded into full-scale conflict in February of 2022. On Saturday, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced the U.S. would provide another military aid package to Ukraine, a further nearly $1 billion worth of equipment that comes about a week after a similarly sized aid package was announced.
