New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI) The deadline for submitting online applications for 'CM SHRI Admission Test 2025' for classes 6,7 and 8 has been extended to August 22, the Delhi government said in a circular issued on Tuesday. According to the circular issued by the Directorate of Education, earlier the last date for form submission was set for August 15. However, considering the overwhelming response and requests from applicants and stakeholders the date has been pushed to 11.59 pm on August 22. The date for conducting the CM SHRI Admission Test for academic session 2025-2026 has also been revised from August 30 to September 6, it said. The Delhi government is likely to inaugurate its newly announced CM SHRI Schools in September, an official said, as preparations to operationalise the institutions gather pace. The initiative, announced earlier this year, aims to offer high-quality, future-ready education in government schools. It is modelled after the Centre's PM SHRI Schools and will follow the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The CM SHRI Schools will implement the National Curriculum Framework 2023. Each school will be equipped with AI-enabled libraries, smart classrooms featuring augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) tools, smartboards, biometric attendance systems and robotics laboratories to promote innovation among students. The Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE) is also being phased out, and its affiliated schools will now be brought under the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had allocated Rs 100 crore for the CM SHRI Schools in her budget speech earlier this year.

MP: Farmers burn effigies of Donald Trump to protest high tariffs
Indore, Aug 13 (PTI) Farmers burnt effigies of US President Donald Trump at several places in Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday to protest the high tariff imposed on goods imported from India, an official of the United Kisan Morcha said. The agitation was held as part of a protest call by the United Kisan Morcha and central labour organisations. According to Badal Saroj, president of the Madhya Pradesh unit of the United Kisan Morcha, farmers protested against Trump in about 40 districts of the state and effigies of the US President were burnt at many places. He said, 'The high duty announced by Trump on goods imported from India is completely against the interests of Indian farmers and labourers. Trump wants to sell American goods in India by any means, while he wants to stop exports from India to his country. Such unfair deals should not happen at the international level." Saroj added, 'We do not want any such trade agreement to be made with the US which will adversely affect the interests of Indian farmers and labourers." On August 6, Trump announced an additional 25 per cent tariff on all Indian imports, on top of an existing 25 per cent duty, taking the total to 50 per cent from August 27. The White House said the measure responds to India's continued purchase of Russian oil.
