Respected Members/Readers,
As the tricolour unfolds against the morning sky on August 15, 2026, India marks its 80th Independence Day—a milestone reflecting eight decades of sovereignty, resilience, and democratic strength. From the midnight chime of August 15, 1947, when the nation awoke to freedom after nearly two centuries of British colonial rule, the story of modern India has been defined by the sacrifices of countless freedom fighters and the quiet determination of millions of ordinary citizens.
Over the past eight decades, India has transformed from an impoverished, newly partitioned state into one of the world's fastest-growing major economies and a leading voice in scientific innovation, space exploration, and technology. The journey to 80 years of freedom is a tribute not only to foundational leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, but also to generations of farmers, scientists, teachers, and youth who built the republic brick by brick.
Against the aforesaid backdrop, we are attaching herewith the 154th Issue of August 2026 Eastern News featuring analytical articles on 80th Independence Day and other relevant topics. It is needless to mention that we highly value your insights regarding our topics, contents and our activities. Please forward your views to at e-mail licretiredofficers@gmail.com. Your feedback will be published in a subsequent issue.
We extend our heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all readers and their family members on the occasion of the 80th Independence Day.
With regards,

प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी का देशवासियों के नाम वीडियो संदेश
प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने लोक परीक्षा (संशोधन) विधेयक को संसद से मंजूरी मिलने के बाद देशवासियों के नाम एक वीडियो संदेश जारी किया। उन्होंने कहा कि सरकार भरोसेमंद और पारदर्शी परीक्षा प्रणाली बनाने के लिए लगातार काम कर रही है। प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा कि इस दिशा में एक के बाद एक कई कदम उठाए गए हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि इस कानून को तैयार करते समय राज्यों के सुझावों का भी पूरा ध्यान रखा गया, क्योंकि पिछले कई वर्षों से लगभग सभी राज्य और केंद्र सरकार पेपर लीक जैसी समस्या से जूझ रहे हैं

-*Shaheed-E-Azam Sardar Udham Singh* 🇮🇳 JULY 31 - Martyrs Day.
*Sardar Udham Singh* was a revolutionary who sacrificed his life for the independence of INDIA ie. *Bharat*.
On *13th April 1919, Baisakhi day*, hundreds of innocent Hindus and Sikhs had gathered at *Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar* for a peaceful meeting.
*General Dyer* ordered his troops to fire without warning. Thousands were killed and wounded. It was one of the most brutal massacres in our history.
To avenge those martyrs, *Udham Singh* took a vow.
After 21 years, on *13th March 1940 in London, England*, he shot dead *Sir Michael O'Dwyer* — the former Lieutenant Governor of Punjab who had approved General Dyer's actions that day.
He was arrested and on *31st July 1940* he was hanged in Pentonville Jail, London.
His last words were: *"I am proud of my deed."*
Today, *Sarabha Nagar in Ludhiana* stands as a tribute to his courage.
*"Jai Hind"* 🇮🇳

ESTIMATION OF VALUATION SURPLUS AS AT 31/3/2026
ESTIMATION OF VALUATION SURPLUS AS AT 31/3/2026
LIC has stopped publishing the figures of valuation surplus in the Annual Reports for the last few years and my requests for the information under RTI Act 2005 has also been denied by the CPIO.
So, I thought of estimating the valuation surplus as at 31/3/2026 bu using the figures in the public domain adopting the following methodology:
Valuation Surplus is the sum of Par Surplus (PS) and Non-par Surplus (NPS) under the policies in the Corporation. Presently 90% of the Par Surplus is distributed to policyholders by way of bonus under wih profit policies.10% of par surplus is paid to the shareholders.100% of non-par surplus is paid to the shareholders.
The Central Government received a dividend cheque for Rs 12207.75 Cr from LIC.
LIC owns 96.5% of the share s presently and the Public own 3.5% of the equity shares in LIC
The Policyholders received Bonus to the extent of Rs 59726 cr being the 90% of the Par-Surplus.
LIC got an amount of 96.5% of the amount from Par-Surplus, viz, Rs 6403.954.
Let NPS be the total non-par valuation Surplus. Then LIC got 0.965* NPS.
Let NPS be the total non-par valuation Surplus of LIC as at 31/3/2026.
This gives the equation
(6403.954)+(0.965 * NPS)= 12207.25.
ie
0.965*NPS=(12207.25 - 6403.954)
So
NPS=(12207.25 - 6403.954)/0.965
=(5803.296)/.965
=6013.778
Solving this equation, we get NPS= 6013.778
PS= (59726×10/9)=66362.22
Total Valuation Surplus =PS+NPS= 66362.22+6013.778= Rs 72376 Cr.
Actuaries may validate my estimation of possible or enlighten me if I have gone wrong.

Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti..
In the summer of 1980, a distraught 7th grade boy stood in the courtyard of a modest house in Mylapore, watching his father toss his cricket bat down a deep well. A fast bouncer had shattered the boy's spectacles during a local match & his father, a renowned Sanskrit logician, was terrified for his son's sight.
"Your cricket days are done," his father declared, handing him a violin. "If you want to master precision, master this."
The boy did not throw a tantrum. He directed his focus toward the strings, training until he was performing alongside musical legends, even taking direct corrections from Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi.
5 yrs later, he suffered another blow: he failed to clear the IIT-JEE examination.
He did not give up. He enrolled in a regional engineering college, quietly mastering computer science logic gates. He eventually worked his way into IIT Madras as a postgrad researcher, earned a PhD, joined as a prof & eventually became the Director of the very institute that had once turned him away.
By 2011, while the world was building consumer mobile apps, this prof was looking at a hidden national vulnerability: every radar, fighter jet, banking server & defense system in India was running on foreign-designed microprocessors.
He had a single question in his mind: "We can test that a foreign chip does what we WANT it to do. But can we guarantee it does not do something we DO NOT want it to do when a war starts?"
He proposed building a completely indigenous, industrial-grade microprocessor from scratch. Global tech giants insisted it could not be done w/o billions of dollars in infrastructure & massive foreign patents.
He did not care. Working out of cramped labs on long shifts, he & his team adopted the open source RISC-V instruction set. They hand-coded logic gates, mapped silicon layouts & verified billions of instruction cycles.
In July 2018, a tiny 16mm² piece of silicon codenamed Risecreek arrived back at the lab. The team wired it up, flipped the switch & watched a flickering monitor as the Linux operating system booted on 100% Indian-designed silicon for the 1st time in history.
Today, his SHAKTI processor architecture powers everything from defense communications to space grade controllers built in collaboration with ISRO.
That young boy whose father threw his cricket bat down a well...
The student who missed the JEE list in 1985...
The violinist who turned down the official IIT Director's mansion to stay in his family home & protect his late father's Sanskrit library...
His name is Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti..

The Life Insurance Corporation of India paid a dividend of ₹12,207.25 crore to the govt for the financial year 2025–26
The Life Insurance Corporation of India paid a dividend of ₹12,207.25 crore to the govt for the financial year 2025–26. For the previous financial year, LIC paid a total dividend of ₹7,324.34 crore to the Govt. LIC has also declared that it had ₹59.03 lakh crore in assets as on 31 March 2026. No other listed public sector enterprise or bank has paid a dividend as high as LIC’s ₹12,207.25 crore for the financial year 2025–26. The associates of LIC—field force, staff and policyholders—deserve huge applause on this occasion, without whose wholehearted contribution this kind of milestone achievement would not have been possible. Not merely receiving the dividends, the govt should also try to propagate the importance of public sector LIC among the youth and the new generation. If functional autonomy to LIC, without further disinvestment, is given, it will further excel in the competitive market.
CONGRATULATIONS TO LIC ON ITS PURPOSEFUL EXISTENCE OF 70 YEARS IN THE SERVICE OF THE PEOPLE AND THE NATION.
