Glad to share that #Odisha has recorded highest retention rate among students of four states enrolled under the Right to Education (RTE) Act during 2023-24. As per the Right to Education Retention Report published by Indus Action, Odisha has achieved an impressive score of 97% with effective implementation strategy and dedication to ensure that children from disadvantaged backgrounds gain access to quality education and continue their academic journey. Under our #5T initiative, we have transformed about 7000 government schools to open new horizons for students. We always believed that #NewOdisha will be built by empowering every child with quality education. Thank all the teachers, parents, administrators and support staff for their dedication to ensure brighter future for our students. #OdishaLeads

The biggest inequalities in life occur at birth. Some are born abysmally poor, some rich beyond imagination. This has nothing to do with their hard work & has no moral justification. This is the reason why an inheritance tax to curb inequality is a must in any civilized society.

As the Cricket World Cup concludes, I hope the Indian mainstream media will shift its attention to the 41 workers who are trapped in a collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand. Today is DAY 08 since they got trapped. Bring these workers back home.

I would love to see UC diaspora, bollywood celebrities, influencers, brands and the whole rest of them, who were so vocally critical of police violence in America, to even say ONE WORD on this government’s homegrown terrorist in a uniform. But that’s wishful thinking.

This!

@gaachburi @payoshnis This Ruskin Bond story was told and re-re-re told as a real story in literally every boarding school, it is only when I came across the story in writing in Grade 5 or so, I realised it was actually a Ruskin Bond story.

@payoshnis omg. there is this ruskin bond story that still terrifies me called 'a face in the dark' i think. man follows the sound of sobbing to a child in the forest with no features on his face, then runs madly to the gates and into a watchman, who also as it turns out...no face

hi southasian friends, question for a story i'm writing. what are common tropes of horror specific to where you grew up or live in now? especially interested in stories we were told as children, school legends, horror tropes basically. for ex. lady in a white saree on the road

Dear @ArvindKejriwal : It’s freezing cold, predicted to get worse. The homeless are miserable, metal boxes set up as temp homes aren’t saving the few who use them. Pls open govt schools n appeal to other institutions to do d same at night. Save lives. Sheila Dixit did it too!

@_myocardium_ I am forever willing to visit Lahore, Ukada and Faisalabad. Seems like a distant dream.

Was booking an international exam & when all the slots in Pakistan got finished, I could still see slots in Mumbai & Delhi. And despite the fact that they were just some 100s of kms away, I had to book a gulf country. Imagine the educational ease if the border was a friendly one.

I was looking for house help and was given a number to call. Her son picked up. He spoke flawless English & negotiated the work conditions for his mother. I was struck by his manner. I asked where he works. He’s a student at Modern School, Barakhamba. The power of the EWS system.

@roadscholarz Such an important message; conveyed so simply! :)

It would take *one million years* for 100 workers working non-stop at the minimum wage to earn as much as Adani already has - Jean Dreze explains.

In times of rising communal hate & violence, Pasoori is like rain on parched land. Well, it took the @NewYorker to write about it to bring it to our attention. I'm not complaining. Food, music, Shayari, clothes..all it takes for us to find common ground<3 newyorker.com/culture/cultur…

@minicnair @akshaykumar Hahah... archeologist. arachnologist. Ornithologist . Ek hi baat hai.

From his clothes, I have a sinking feeling that @akshaykumar might be a historian or an intellectual in this movie and it is giving me ulcers.
