Darshan L, an inmate of the Ashakirana shelter home, lost both his parents when he was young. "I decided to join PCMB at the PUC level, and later I want to join nursing courses. My idea is that I can extend medical services to the elderly who I think don't get the required care. The difficulties faced by my parents made me join the nursing courses," he added.
Saraswathi K, director of RLHP, said among these five children, Hema has a single parent, while the others are orphans. "Their achievement in the SSLC exam reflects that if we provide care and opportunities, children in distress can also achieve at par with other students.

Doctor and engineer transform 140-yr-old school with a Rs 4.7 lakh makeover
1 2 Bagalkot: Two alumni of a 140-year-old govt Kannada Boys' Model Primary School in Rabkavi, now a doctor and an engineer, returned for a visit to find it in disrepair, with a broken roof, damaged floor, and unusable toilets. Moved by its condition, they funded a complete renovation of the school, spending Rs 4.7 lakh, including Rs 40,000 for saplings. Their generous gesture has given the school a fresh lease of life. Sharing their initiative with TOI, Dr Ravi Jamkhandi, an anaesthesiologist in Rabkavi, and Vinod Malagi, a retired telecom engineer in Bengaluru, said they were educated in school. "When we visited the school last year to recall our memories, we observed that it was in a pathetic condition. Though the walls were constructed during the British era, there were many leakages in the roof. The floor was broken, and students were stumbling while moving around. The doors and windows of the toilets were broken. We discussed giving something back to our school. When we approached local education department officials and teachers with our wish, they wholeheartedly welcomed our thought and cooperated with the same," they added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo They ensured a proper roof for all classrooms with sheets and replaced the old cement floor with Tandur stones. They also repaired the toilets and made them usable. Dr Jamkhandi brought 20 eight-year-old Foxtail palm trees from the Hidkal dam for Rs 40,000 and gave the school premises a green look. Now they are also planning to provide a television set and fans to the school by next month. School headmaster Vijaykumar Halkurki said that the school was established in 1885 and has been catering to the educational needs of surrounding communities. "When Dr Jamkhandi and Malagi came to our school, they voluntarily came up with the idea of repairing the facilities. They frequently visited the school in the last six months and developed it at their own cost. They have also assured us of more in the days to come. Their generosity is a role model for all persons who have studied in govt schools," he commented.

Garbage not being taken from homes, dumped on roads
1 2 3 4 Lucknow: Irregular door-to-door garbage collection across several localities has led to open dumping and waste accumulation in public spaces, raising serious sanitation concerns in the state capital. A TOI reality check on Sunday across Gomtinagar, Mahanagar, Alambagh, Maulviganj, and Sitapur Road revealed that waste remained uncollected in many areas. However, Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) officials said the disruption in some areas may have been due to sanitation workers being on leave during Bakrid. In Mahanagar, residents said garbage had not been collected for two consecutive days. "Since the waste wasn't collected from doorsteps, people dumped it in the open, where it was later scattered by stray animals," said Rajesh Yadav, 53. In Alambagh, concerns were heightened due to the onset of the rainy season. "With the rains approaching, scattered garbage poses a health risk. The collection service has been inconsistent in our area," said Abhijeet Kumar, 43. In Chandarnagar, garbage was seen dumped along roads and near shops. "There's a strong stench in the area due to open dumping," said Neetu, a commuter from Alambagh. Vendors in the area shared similar concerns. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's The Average Price of Gutter Protection For 2,500 Sq Ft House LeafFilter Gutter Protection Get Quote Undo "Garbage is regularly dumped here, creating an unpleasant environment. Still, we have to keep working—this is our livelihood," said Mohan Singh, a roadside stall owner. In some parts of Alambagh, despite regular visits by municipal vans, residents were seen discarding waste outside their homes. "The van comes routinely, but many avoid handing over waste and instead dump it outside. This habit is harming the area's cleanliness," said Preeti, a resident of the area. Similar complaints emerged from Gomtinagar as well. Shivendra Singh, a resident of Vishesh Khand, said, "Garbage outside our home hasn't been picked up for three days. The odour is unbearable, and the mosquito problem has worsened." In Vijyant Khand, residents reported overflowing bins and unattended waste. With the monsoon nearing, residents are concerned about potential waterlogging, mosquito breeding, and outbreaks of diseases like dengue and gastrointestinal infections. Those living along Sitapur Road urged the LMC to not only ensure timely collection but also run awareness campaigns against open dumping. When contacted, senior municipal official Lalit Kumar said, "Instructions have been issued to all operators to ensure complete waste collection and proper disposal. Non-compliance will lead to penalties."

3L register for MP board's first second-attempt exams
Indore: Over 3.27 lakh students across Madhya Pradesh registered for the second attempt of Class 10 and 12 board examinations. These exams are being conducted by the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) for the first time within the same academic year to help students improve their results or clear failed subjects. The registration process, which concluded on Sunday, saw significant participation from students who either failed or wished to improve their marks. This initiative follows a regulatory amendment to the MPBSE Regulations, 1965, allowing students to retake the exams in the same session under the National Education Policy 2020. According to official data, out of the 5,07,304 students who failed the MP Board exams this year, more than 3,27,000 opted for the second attempt. Applications for students who passed the main exams but wanted to improve their scores were accepted until May 25. Students who failed had until May 31 to register, with the deadline later extended to June 8. The second attempt exams are scheduled to begin on June 17 and will continue until July 5, covering all subjects for both Class 10 and 12 students. "The rules and procedures for these exams will be the same as the main board exams. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Question papers will be supplied by the board, and the same examination protocol will be followed as the first board exam," said Bhupesh Gupta, chief systems officer, MPBSE. Students who clear the exams will be issued a regular marksheet. Class 10 students may gain provisional admission into Class 11, and Class 12 students may receive provisional college admission, with final confirmation subject to passing the second attempt. This progressive step by the board offers a crucial second chance, especially to those on the brink of academic setbacks, and is expected to significantly reduce dropout rates while encouraging students to continue their education.
