On Goa Statehood Day, the familiar sounds of guitars, Konkani rhythms, theatrical performances, and applause echoed through the auditorium at Galgotias University as students recreated fragments of Goa far away from its coastline. For a few hours, the campus moved away from routine academic schedules and turned into a cultural window into Goa’s music, traditions, stories, and artistic life.   Goa’s history, music, traditions, and cultural spirit came alive at Galgotias University as students celebrated Goa Statehood Day through performances, storytelling, and visual art Known for its unique blend of Indian and Portuguese influences, Goa occupies a distinctive place in India’s cultural landscape. From its folk traditions, music, architecture, cuisine, and coastal communities to its festivals, artistic legacy, and layered social history, Goa represents a meeting point of multiple civilisational and cultural influences. The celebration at Galgotias University attempted to bring these dimensions alive for students through music, theatre, dance, visual storytelling, and performances inspired by the state’s cultural identity. The event was graced by Mr. Sanjay Kumar Srivastava, Former Chief Secretary, Goa, along with his wife. The occasion began with a traditional Goan Khordu welcome, introducing audiences to a ceremonial gesture closely associated with Goan hospitality and community traditions. One of the highlights of the event was a specially curated documentary on Goa created by the School of Media and Communication Studies at Galgotias University. Showcased during the celebrations, the documentary traced Goa’s journey across centuries, touching upon early historical references, the Kadamba and Vijayanagara influences, temple traditions and architectural evolution, the Portuguese colonial period, Operation Vijay, and Goa’s eventual Statehood. Through archival references, visuals, narration, music, and storytelling, the film attempted to present Goa not merely as a tourist destination but as a region shaped by history, resistance, migration, faith, language, and cultural exchange. The presentation was warmly received by attendees and became one of the most discussed segments of the programme. The auditorium came alive through a series of performances presented by students from the Music Club, Dance Club, and Actors Hub. Music, dance, theatre, and stage performances inspired by Goan and contemporary cultural themes filled the venue with rhythm, movement, humour, and audience participation. From musical renditions such as Maria Pitache and Memories to choreographed performances and theatrical segments, students brought different fragments of Goan and contemporary performance culture onto the stage. The programme also reflected the scale of student involvement behind the scenes. Students participated across scripting, editing, stage coordination, anchoring, costume planning, performances, and documentary production in the days leading up to the event, turning the celebration into a collaborative cultural production exercise. Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias University, reflected on Goa’s distinctive cultural and historical identity during the celebration. He said, “Goa carries a cultural personality unlike any other part of India. Its music, architecture, churches, temples, food traditions, coastal communities, and social life reflect centuries of cultural exchange and historical evolution. Yet many young people encounter Goa only through popular imagery, while its deeper historical and cultural layers often remain unexplored. Through this celebration, we wanted students to engage with Goa’s history, artistic traditions, stories, and lived culture through performances, visuals, music, and storytelling that could make those experiences feel immediate and tangible on campus.” The Goa Statehood Day celebration concluded with students and attendees carrying back memories of performances and music, as well as a deeper understanding of Goa’s rich history, cultural evolution, and artistic traditions.  

EC-Council, the global credentialing body responsible for the internationally recognized Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification and one of the world’s leading authorities in cybersecurity education, workforce development, and standards-based training, has today announced the launch of its proprietary Adopt. Defend. Govern. (ADG) AI Framework and a free AI Readiness Self-Assessment Tool to help organizations securely adopt, operationalize, and govern artificial intelligence at scale.   EC-Council’s ADG Framework enables secure, governed AI design through structured controls and accountability   Developed with input from practitioners and advisory board members across organizations including Citi, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, KPMG, Deloitte, NTT Data, GE Healthcare, GlobalLogic, Prudential and Salesforce, the ADG Framework gives enterprises a unified operating model; three pillars, 12 minimum controls, and nine governance surfaces. The framework is designed to align with the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, and the NIST AI RMF.   The urgency around AI governance is rising as organizations and enterprises accelerate AI adoption across business operations. Global AI spending is projected to reach $2.5 trillion in 2026, reflecting the speed and scale of enterprise deployment. Yet governance maturity remains critically low: industry findings show that only 1% of leaders believe their AI governance capabilities have reached maturity, while 78% of executives say they would not feel confident in passing an AI governance audit within the next 90 days.   The widening gap between AI acceleration and AI accountability is increasing pressure on organizations to address technical, societal, operational, and systemic AI risk at the same time. Many are deploying increasingly autonomous AI systems while still relying on fragmented policies, outdated security models, and governance structures that struggle under real-world operating pressure.   The ADG Framework has been developed to close this gap. More than a theoretical governance model, ADG is a practitioner-led execution framework engineered for real-world deployment. Designed by professionals actively managing AI risk in some of the world’s most complex operating environments, the framework establishes enforceable minimum controls, operational validation standards, governance surfaces, implementation overlays, and accountability mechanisms that organizations can apply across AI systems, agentic AI environments, multi-model architectures, and large language model ecosystems.   “Most organizations approached AI with a deploy-first mindset, prioritizing speed while governance and security struggled to keep pace,” said Jay Bavisi, Group President, EC-Council. “The result is that organizations are now scaling AI systems faster than they can securely govern them. The ADG Framework was developed to restore operational discipline, establish accountability, and help organizations operationalize AI responsibly before governance failures become systemic business liabilities.”   AI Without Guardrails Is a Business Risk The ADG Framework is organized around three deeply integrated operational functions designed to create a complete governance life cycle for modern AI systems: Adopt Helps organizations align AI deployment with business objectives, operational readiness, workforce capability, and implementation accountability. Defend Focuses on securing AI systems against evolving threats including prompt injection, adversarial manipulation, model exploitation, data poisoning, and AI supply chain compromise. Govern Embeds oversight, auditability, governance accountability, and risk management into AI systems from deployment through enterprise-scale operations.   Together, the framework introduces 12 minimum controls, nine governance surfaces, nine deployment overlays, and three autonomy tiers covering technical, societal, operational, and systemic AI risk domains. Every control references major global standards and frameworks including the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, OWASP Top 10 for LLM and Agentic AI, and MITRE ATLAS, helping organizations strengthen governance maturity while reducing compliance fragmentation.   AI Readiness Self-Assessment Tool Introduces Operational Visibility Alongside the framework, EC-Council has launched a free AI Readiness Self-Assessment Tool to help organizations evaluate their governance posture before vulnerabilities emerge at scale.   The tool enables organizations to measure AI maturity across governance readiness, implementation discipline, operational resilience, security posture, and accountability structures while mapping findings into a prioritized implementation roadmap. For boards, regulators, and executive leadership teams facing growing scrutiny around AI governance, the tool provides an evidence-based view of organizational AI exposure and governance preparedness.   “The framework’s three pillars reflect the cross-functional model that leading AI organizations like Salesforce have used to scale AI responsibly. It establishes a solid, replicable blueprint across any industry, deployment model, or regulatory environment.” said Kathy Baxter, Principal Architect, VP of Responsible AI & Tech at Salesforce, AI Advisory Board Member, and Contributor to the ADG Framework.   New AI Certifications Aligned to the ADG Framework To support implementation of the framework, EC-Council has also introduced three new AI certifications aligned with the ADG operating model. The certifications are designed to help organizations build workforce capabilities around AI governance, offensive AI security, and responsible AI implementation.   The certifications include: Certified AI Program Manager (CAIPM) Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) Certified Responsible AI Governance and Ethics Professional (CRAGE)   The programs help practitioners evaluate, test, secure, and govern AI systems across modern operating environments.   “The ADG Framework is the operating model that enterprise AI has been missing. It turns abstract standards into auditable practices and resolves the real tension between delivery speed and safety. For a board, that is the difference between scaling a fleet of agents with confidence and taking a leap of faith.” said Lewis V. Adams, VP, Enterprise AI & Capital Productivity Transformation at Citi, AI Advisory Board Member, and Contributor to the ADG Framework.   Open, Community-Driven, and Built to Scale The ADG Framework is designed as an open, community-driven initiative that organizations can adopt freely, without licensing fees or vendor lock-in. It is structured to evolve alongside AI technologies while enabling practitioners, enterprises, governance leaders, and security teams to contribute to the continued development of operational AI governance standards.   “The industry doesn’t lack AI frameworks; it lacks operational clarity. The ADG framework places a strong emphasis on AI security, particularly in addressing adversarial risks and model vulnerabilities, while also mapping broader governance and regulatory expectations. What’s especially valuable is its inclusion of measurable indicators, which helps organizations move from high-level principles to more actionable and trackable AI risk management as they transition into real-world deployment.” said ShanShan

In universities across India, students frequently talk about IT firms while discussing future career plans. These companies are often associated with strong career growth. What many students do not realize, however, is that behind the world’s leading businesses lies a common technology foundation: SAP.   SAP Learning Hub   To help students gain exposure to this global ecosystem early in their careers, SAP is now offering free access to SAP Learning Hub, student edition for students in India. The platform gives students a great opportunity to explore technology skills that are sought by organizations around the world.   In industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics, AI-powered SAP software is being used for insights to drive improvement in operations. Several leading IT and consulting firms in India like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra also work extensively with SAP systems.   With global investments growing in AI, automation, analytics, and cloud technologies, talent demand is also growing for those familiar with enterprise platforms and processes.   “Students often associate technology careers only with coding or software development,” said Tine Vandenbreeden, Global VP SIX Partner Solution Enablement, SAP. “But businesses today need talent that understands digital operations across functions like finance, supply chain, HR, analytics, and customer experience. SAP Learning Hub, student edition gives students an opportunity to explore these business technologies early in their academic journey.”   The India-specific student access to SAP Learning Hub is intended to remove financial barriers and connect academic experience to in-demand digital jobs.   The platform offers a mix of learning resources, access to a community, real SAP practice systems, expert sessions, and two free SAP Certification exam attempts to support career readiness among learners. Built for students from various streams like commerce, engineering, and management, it introduces how SAP technology is used within business environments.   Students have access to role-based SAP Learning Journeys that add practical business context to classroom learning.   While students prepare for interviews, placements, and technical skills, they don’t usually get to see business systems used inside large organizations. Through SAP Learning Hub, student edition, SAP is making that experience available to students all over India at zero cost. For many students, this may be their first direct exposure to how large businesses operate behind the scenes.   To register for the free SAP Learning Hub, student edition, visit learning.sap.com/free-student-edition.
