Student "Heartbroken" As Parents Say No To Hansraj College Admission Due To Delhi's Pollution
"Hey everyone, I'm from Chandigarh and I gave CUET this year. After failing in 3 competitive exams and going through a rough year mentally, I finally got something I truly wanted - admission into Hansraj College, Delhi University," the student wrote in the post, adding that he worked "really hard" for the opportunity.
Hansraj College admissions are entrance-based, with CUET UG scores required for undergraduate programmes and DUET scores for postgraduate programmes.
"But now, just when everything was falling into place, my parents are refusing to send me because of Delhi's pollution. I understand it's a valid concern, but it feels like my dreams are getting crushed right when I'm this close to achieving them," the student added.
"If anyone has faced something similar or has advice, it would really mean a lot. I feel stuck and honestly pretty heartbroken. I don't want to let this opportunity slip away," the student added.
One user wrote, "Explain them that getting into it and wasting that opportunity would be stupidity."
"Brother delhi ki population dekho -> many are surviving and thriving in DU despite pollution besides the colleges have a pretty green and clean environment," another user wrote.
"Bro you're gonna miss a lot if you don't come here.... I agree pollution is a major problem, lekin sirf 3 mahine jhelna hai pollution. Look at the aqi now," a third user said.
CUET, a computer-based mode (CBT) exam, was introduced by the National Testing Agency (NTA) to provide a common platform for students seeking admission to various central, state, private and deemed universities. The exam is conducted once a year.

Anil Mistry: From poaching to protecting
It was a quiet day in the late 90s. A young man born in a poacher's family was in the middle of a hunt in the dense forests of the Sundarbans. They had managed to shoot a doe, but it was a bit later that they realised a fawn was hiding behind and was left an orphan because of their action. The man, deeply moved by this scene, was unable to let go of the guilt and decided to turn himself in to the officials. This is the story of Anil Mistry, the poacher turned conservationist of the Sundarbans. Born on Bali Island on the Indian side of the Sundarbans, Anil Krishna Mistry is now a dedicated advocate for mangrove conservation and wildlife protection. He founded the Bali Nature and Wildlife Conservation Society (BNWCS) and works primarily towards diminishing human-wildlife conflict. As a former poacher and native of the area, he often emphasises how well he and his fellow ex-poachers know the nooks and crannies of the Sundarbans better than anybody. Just as he turned a new leaf, Mistry inspired multiple other poachers to mend their ways and help in conserving the nature around them rather than destroying it. The Sundarbans, home to the iconic Royal Bengal tiger, have always had issues related to human-wildlife interactions that cause tension. Anil has participated in over 70 tiger capture and release operations, and his organisation has helped ensure several such dangerous scenarios have been handled smoothly. Mistry also works towards ensuring alternative livelihoods, such as pond farming, poultry, small-scale agriculture, embroidery, and veterinary services, to reduce dependency on forest extractivism. These efforts have enabled his village to achieve financial stability without harming the forest. It was while working with the Wildlife Protection Society of India (WPSI), led by founder Belinda Wright, that he picked up the mission of protecting mangroves and wildlife through community-centred initiatives. From taking lives in the jungle to giving tigers a chance, Anil Krishna Mistry's journey provides an inspiring tale of ecological resilience and redemption. He has contributed to the preservation of one of India's most delicate ecosystems by empowering the community and ensuring compassion-driven conservation. His life serves as a timeless reminder that practicing respect for the delicate balance between people and nature are the first steps towards change.

Indian Man Applauds Dutch Officials' Response To Minor Road Bumps: ‘Wish Every Country Cared Like This'
An Indian man's video praising the Dutch government's quick fix of minor road bumps has gone viral. An Indian man living in the Netherlands has gone viral for praising how the local authorities responded quickly to fix even the smallest road bumps. Prabhu Visha shared a video on Instagram and captioned it: 'Coming from India, this honestly felt so beautiful to me." Why Is The Video Gaining Traction In the video, Prabhu Visha is seen skating smoothly down the road, barely noticing any disturbance. On the clip, a statement reads: 'This is why I believe the Netherlands truly cares for its people." Further in his post, Prabhu Visha explained what made the incident so special. 'Near my home in the Netherlands, there were some small bumps on the road. For me, the road was already perfect. But then we got a letter from the government explaining they will fix it, with details of why, when, where, and how. It's possible some people complained about it, and that's why they're fixing it. But still, it's amazing that they listen and act," the post read. He added, 'Even small bumps matter here, for pregnant women, people biking with kids or the elderly. Seriously, hats off to this government for their inclusion and communication." He ended his post by saying, 'I wish every country cared for its people like this." Here's How The Internet Reacted The video was posted on July 23 and quickly gained over 3 lakh views. Many users praised the Dutch government's attentiveness and quick action, especially for such a minor issue. It also sparked comparisons with civic systems in other countries. A user commented, 'I agree, yes, the taxes are high, but when you realise little things like this. It makes it so worth it." Another joked, 'Bro, don't lie, the road is perfect, I am from India." 'Proud to be part of this beautiful country," an individual said. Another shared, 'Netherlands also cares for its animals. You won't see a single street dog because they made a strict policy to sterilise and vaccinate them. Adoption is supported, heavy tax on breeding and strict animal laws." Prabhu Visha's post reminded people how good governance, clear communication and attention to detail, even in the smallest things, can make a big difference.
