"Teachers are very important for the future of children, and therefore, I humbly request that they work diligently for the education of children in Bihar without being anxious about this matter," he added.
There has been a long-standing demand for preferential postings and transfer of teachers across the state. As a result of this, children's education was being hampered due to the absence of subject teachers in many districts.

The department recently rolled out a new online self-transfer system for teachers, aiming to resolve any dissatisfaction over postings and streamline the process of filling
vacancies in schools

US-Russia talks: Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to meet next week; UAE likely venue

File photo of US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin , are expected to meet as early as next week, Kremlin said on Thursday. Putin has indicated that the United Arab Emirates is being considered as a possible venue for the talks, as reported by the Associated Press. The timing of the meeting is crucial, as Trump is trying to corner Russia with his tariff tirade and seeking an end to its war against Ukraine. "At the suggestion of the American side, an agreement has been reached in principle to hold a bilateral summit in the coming days," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said, Russian state news agencies reported. "We are now starting to work out the details together with our American colleagues," Ushakov added. "Next week has been set as a target date." Ushakov further added that the venue of the meeting "has been agreed upon in principle" but did not provide details. Kremlin announced the expected meeting between both leaders after US envoy Steve Witkoff met Putin in Moscow. Witkoff, during his visit to Moscow, had proposed a trilateral meeting with Zelensky, but Russia did not respond to that proposal. "The Russian side left this option completely without comment," Ushkov added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mr. Bala's Powerful Intraday Strategy Revealed – No More Guesswork TradeWise Learn More Undo Earlier on Wednesday, Trump said that he is likely to meet Putin face-to-face "very soon."

Russian assaults have forced millions to flee from their homes. Despite several calls from US, Europe and Ukraine, Russia has resisted a ceasefire.

Anand Mahindra reacts to Trump's tariffs: "India should seize this moment like 'Amrit' from a global Manthan"

In the wake of US President Donald Trump's move to double tariffs on Indian imports, industrialist Anand Mahindra has called for a bold and strategic response from India. Drawing a powerful analogy from Indian mythology, Mahindra urged the nation to extract 'Amrit', opportunity and growth, from the 'Manthan' or global churn caused by escalating trade wars. He emphasized that instead of viewing the tariffs as a setback, India should treat them as a catalyst for internal reforms, economic acceleration, and a repositioning of its global image as a trusted investment destination. Reforms, not reactions: What Anand Mahindra suggests India must do According to Mahindra, incremental reforms are no longer sufficient. He emphasized the need for India to radically improve its ease of doing business, beginning with a truly functional single-window clearance system for all investment proposals. While acknowledging that states control many investment-related regulations, he proposed forming a coalition of willing states that align with a central national platform to demonstrate India's ability to move with speed, simplicity, and predictability. Such measures, Mahindra believes, will not only help neutralize the impact of tariffs but also transform India into a magnet for global capital. In a world where trusted partnerships are in high demand, India has a unique opportunity to present itself as a dependable, long-term destination for investors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Unleashing the power of tourism as a forex engine Mahindra also flagged tourism as a massively underutilized asset in India's economic strategy. He called for the urgent need to accelerate visa processing, improve infrastructure for foreign visitors, and create dedicated tourism corridors around existing hotspots. These corridors, he said, must prioritize security, sanitation, and hygiene to attract international travelers and serve as templates for other regions. Tourism, Mahindra argued, has the potential to generate enormous foreign exchange, boost local employment, and revitalize India's image on the world stage if treated as a strategic sector. A broader economic agenda for resilience and growth Mahindra did not stop at investment and tourism. He laid out a broader framework aimed at ensuring long-term economic resilience. Key priorities include liquidity support for MSMEs, acceleration of infrastructure investment, and a manufacturing push through the enhancement and expansion of the PLI (Production-Linked Incentive) schemes. He also urged policymakers to rationalize import duties, especially those on raw materials and components critical to manufacturing, to help make Indian products globally competitive. Learning from unintended global consequences In his remarks, Mahindra highlighted how other countries are using the global tariff war to address long-standing economic inefficiencies. Germany, for example, is rethinking its fiscal orthodoxy, opening doors to greater defense and infrastructure spending, while Canada is making efforts to break down long-standing internal trade barriers. These examples, he suggested, show how external pressure can trigger internal transformation. For India, the question is whether it can also use this moment of global churn to create positive, long-term consequences for its own economy. Turning adversity into advantage Mahindra concluded his remarks with a message that balanced realism with optimism. Acknowledging that nations like the US will always prioritize their own interests, he stressed that India should be no different. The goal, he said, should not be to complain but to adapt, reform, and rise. 'Just as the 1991 forex reserves crisis triggered liberalization,' Mahindra wrote, 'can today's global manthan over tariffs yield some 'amrit' for us?' His call to action was clear: let India use this moment to shape its own destiny intentionally, ambitiously, and decisively.

It will help in removing any doubt from the minds of the government employee concerned," he told PTI.
