FOR the first time, Anil Agarwal has taken a board position in his Indian entity Vedanta Ltd, replacing brother Navin.

The company said that Anil Agarwal has been appointed as "the non-executive chairman" of the Indian entity, which houses oil and gas, aluminium, power, iron ore, steel and copper business.

Anil had been heading London-based Vedanta Resources so far.

Navin will now be the executive Vice Chairman of the board.

The change happened following the resignation of the CEO S Venkatakrishnan. He was replaced by Sunil Duggal, current head of Vedanta unit Hindustan Zinc Ltd.

'The company will be run by a management committee comprising of CEO, CFO, CHRO and CCO who will take all key decisions collectively under the guidance of Chairman," the statement said.

Anil Agarwal's daughter Priya is also in the board as director.

Starmer offers £3,000 to employers for hiring unemployed young people

  • Businesses will receive £3,000 for hiring eligible young people aged 18 to 24.
  • The scheme targets more than one million young people who are not in employment, education or training.
  • Ministers say the grant is part of a wider plan to reduce youth unemployment and encourage alternatives to university.

The UK government is offering businesses £3,000 to hire unemployed young people as it steps up efforts to tackle rising youth inactivity. The Youth Jobs Grant, announced by prime minister Sir Keir Starmer, is aimed at encouraging employers to recruit people aged 18 to 24 who have been claiming Universal Credit for at least six months.

The scheme comes as Britain continues to grapple with a growing number of young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET). More than one million people now fall into that category, raising concerns about long-term skills shortages, lower productivity and weaker economic growth.
