Netarhat school mgmt goes into huddle after poor results
2
Ranchi: The executive committee of the prestigious Netarhat Residential School, an autonomous institute under the state govt, has decided to closely monitor the academic performance of those students who failed in Class X and XII CBSE exams in the 2023-24 academic session.
During a meeting of the executive committee of the school on Friday, the members said the move was taken for the welfare of the students and their future career.
Taking part in the meeting, state school education and literacy minister, Ramdas Soren, said, "Special observation will be undertaken to assess the reasons behind their underperformance and to develop targeted remedial measures for their academic improvement.
This measure aims to ensure transparency, accountability and alignment with broader policy directives."
The minister also issued a clear directive to ensure that the school conducts academic activities for a minimum of 245 days annually. In the interim period until the appointment of permanent teachers, the govt will open a portal inviting applications from former students of the school who are willing to contribute to the school as teachers.

These alumni teachers will be provided with an honorarium and entrusted with the responsibility of supporting academic activities at the school.
"These alumni will stay at the school for one week and conduct a comprehensive review of the teaching methods, student understanding and overall classroom engagement," the minister said.
Moreover, the self-study model implemented in the ashrams of Netarhat School will be strictly enforced. Concern over low performance in the recent Class XII examinations has led to a directive to analyse cases where students secured less than 80% marks. Internal discussions will be held , and explanations will be sought from the teachers.

Why northeast direction is most sacred in vastu
I placed my plants in the northeast corner, basking in the morning light. The fiddle-leaf fig thrives here, alongside the pothos and orchid. In Vastu Shastra, the Northeast direction—also known as Ishanya Kona—is considered the most sacred and powerful corner of any home or building. This belief is not just symbolic; it is based on natural energy flow, planetary alignment, and the five elements (Pancha Mahabhutas) that form the core of Vastu principles. The Northeast is associated with water, which in Vastu represents clarity, purity, and spiritual growth. This is also the direction from which early morning sunlight first enters the home. Sunlight at this time is gentle and full of life-giving energy, enhancing positivity and removing negative vibrations. That's why Vastu suggests keeping this area open, clean, and clutter-free to allow the free flow of natural light and energy. From a cosmic perspective, the Northeast is linked to Jupiter (Guru)—the planet of wisdom, learning, and divinity. Placing sacred symbols, temples, or prayer areas in this direction is believed to bring peace, prosperity, and mental clarity. Many homes in India still follow the tradition of having the puja room in the Northeast, reinforcing the deep connection between this corner and spiritual practices. Vastu advises against building toilets, kitchens, or heavy storage units in the Northeast, as this may block positive energy and disturb mental peace. 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 Ideally, this zone should be kept light, open, and filled with uplifting elements like natural plants, white or yellow décor, and soft lighting. Whether it's a home, office, or even a garden space, aligning with the Northeast direction invites blessings and clarity. In a modern context, even if you live in a small apartment, maintaining cleanliness and simplicity in the Northeast area can have a calming effect on your mind and environment. The sacred power of the Northeast lies in its ability to connect us with nature, light, and spiritual energy, forming the foundation of a balanced and peaceful living space.

Old Rajendra Nagar deaths: Flooded once, forgotten forever? Year on, drainage clogged. And so is the system
Coaching centre in Old Rajender Nagar where three UPSC aspirants died due to drowning NEW DELHI: The monsoon clouds gather over Delhi once again, but in the lanes of Old Rajendra Nagar, they carry more than just the promise of rain. They bring back memories of a tragedy that changed this bustling student hub - July 27, 2024, when three young civil services aspirants drowned in the basement library of Rau's IAS Circle coaching centre. Right in front of the building where the basement flooded last year, Rajesh Kumar Yadav runs his litti chokha stall. A year after the tragedy, he vividly recalls the event of that evening. "This whole lane was like a pond," he said, pointing to his stomach to indicate how high the water had risen. "There were some students in the basement library when the gate and the street's sloped layout caused rainwater to pool and flow into the basement. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi "Paani andar aya ekdum se, unhe bahar nikalne ka mauka hi nahi mila," Yadav recalled. He instinctively grabbed an empty pipe and pushed it into the basement, hoping his voice would carry. He and others also used the same pipe to pull out students but for the unfortunate three. When TOI visited the building recently, it found the pipes used to pump out water lying abandoned. The building has been put up for rent, and, according to the locals, just 15-20 days ago, a new entry gate was installed, eerily similar to the old one that broke open and unleashed the flood. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is your tinnitus getting worse? Do this immediately (Watch) Hearing Magazine Undo A hoarding announces that ex-Rau's faculty are opening a new coaching centre. Close by, another hoarding makes similar promises, and while it is again a new coaching centre, it claims being run by ex-Rau faculty. Recently erected brick walls now stand in an attempt to prevent rainwater from flowing into the basement again. The new drainage system laid in the area already shows signs of neglect. Trash-filled and clogged with construction debris, the drain in front of the building portends another monsoon disaster. The tragedy has reshaped Old Rajendra Nagar's daily rhythm. The closure of basement libraries has led to a dramatic increase in prices for the remaining study spaces. The basement libraries were popular because they were affordable, but their closure has given other operators an opportunity to exploit the tragedy. "For a corner seat in the library, the monthly charges are Rs 4000-5,00. Other seats cost something else," a 32-year-old student said. "We live in cramped rooms on rent so the only way to study is at a library." At Shree Ram photocopy stall, Srikant, 29, stands amid stacks of UPSC books and stationery, but the footfall has diminished. "Before the incident, around 150 students came here daily. Now, barely 30," he claimed. Prem and Lata, an elderly couple who runs grocery shop from their house, have a similar story. "After the tragedy, hardly any student stops by," said Lata. "Kisi maa baap ke bacche chale gaye. That day is unforgettable. " The couple's son Gautam has a different perspective on life after the event. "The so-called basement libraries may have shut down and children living in paying guest accommodations evacuated, but the construction of lower ground floor homes and shops is still permitted and they can also become death traps." Anxious parents across the country called their children back home, unwilling to risk their safety. Garima, 19, and Kashish, 19, of Bihar and Punjab, respectively, were living in a basement PG at the time of the incident. "We were evacuated like sheep the morning after, with police checking everything," Garima recalled. "We had to immediately change our PG." Students highlighted how the drowning deaths had fundamentally altered youngsters' approach to their preparation. The lanes that were once filled with students discussing strategies outside coaching centres now wear a deserted look. "Many students have opted for online classes and they have also decided to shift to Shadipur after what happened in Old Rajendra Nagar last year," revealed Sanket. The exodus to Shadipur represents more than just a change of address - it's a vote of no confidence in the safety and infrastructure of the old coaching hub. Parag, 21, of Rajasthan was present in the area on that fateful day. "The entire building of my coaching centre was shaking due to the nonstop rains. Lectures were going on when they suddenly shut everything and asked us to immediately leave the building. I later learned of the three deaths." The Central Bureau of Investigation filed the chargesheet on Sept 26, 2024, naming six individuals: Rau's IAS CEO Abhishek Gupta, coordinator Deshpal Singh and the four co-owners of the basement. On Feb 10, this year, a Delhi court granted bail to Gupta and Singh. With trial under way, for the families of Shreya Yadav of UP, Tanya Soni of Telangana and Nevin Delvin of Kerala, the wait for justice continues - a monsoon later. With inputs by Khushi Bhuta

A Divine satirist
Basheer's irreverent humour, spiritual depth and unwavering humanist vision remain strikingly relevant—offering a luminous counterpoint to the discord of our polarized world The Sacred, the Silly & the Sublime By: Dr Azeez Tharuvana Vaikom Muhammad Basheer's works form a rich treasure mine—each reading reveals new layers of meaning that resonate with our times. Shabdangal (Voices) exemplifies this, especially relevant amid global wars, refugee crises and the search for human connection. Though short, the novel raises profound questions, like this conversation: 'Everyone has a philosophy for life. I try to live by mine.' 'I don't have a philosophy. Maybe because I don't feel connected to anyone?' 'But you do—you're connected to everyone.' 'What relationship?' 'Do you have a navel? It connects you to your mother—even if you never knew her… In the end, all of us are connected.' Basheer boldly explored themes like gender identity and the struggles of transgender individuals—topics still finding space in public discussion today. At the time, many conservative critics were shocked, but modern readers recognize his intent: To open up unfamiliar, often uncomfortable worlds to the Malayali imagination. His wide travels and deep empathy for the poor gave him a rare sensitivity. For Basheer, experience was everything. 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 Living with Sufis and mystics, working various jobs, and meeting people on society's fringes—hijras, male sex workers—he realized that life's truths came from lived realities. Phrases like 'Anal Haq' (I am the Truth) and 'Aham Brahmasmi' (I am the Brahma) shaped his spiritual worldview. He saw that organized religion often demanded blind submission. He believed so-called sinners and criminals were often just people who had lost their way seeking peace, dignity and redemption. From this emerged a new kind of spirituality—one that embraced compassion over dogma and change over obedience. Like in the story Bhoomiyude Avakaashikal (The Inheritors of the Earth), animals and birds appear frequently in Basheer's work. Long before environmental themes became common in Malayalam literature, Basheer was already weaving thoughts about nature and the environment into his stories. These early glimpses of ecological awareness reflect the depth of Basheer's philosophical thinking—a belief in the unity and sacredness of all living things. This is the philosophy of oneness that flows through all of Basheer's writing—a gentle, powerful consciousness that sees the whole universe as connected. His language—simple, direct and full of life—was unlike anything in Malayalam literature. As MN Vijayan said: 'He sang playful tunes to his deepest sorrows… He reminded us, 'I am my language.'' He stretched and reshaped the language, giving it new life. In fact, long before Dalit and feminist writers began questioning the limits of language, Basheer had already done so. He coined Lodkus Akhaya and Palungusan Vyakarana to poke fun at scholars but though some claimed he ignored grammar, Basheer in fact mastered and reshaped language with care and intention. Balyakalasakhi was a 500-page manuscript trimmed into a timeless 80-page classic. His works remain fresh because they can be read through many lenses—social, emotional, political, spiritual. At their core, they celebrate love, compassion, and unity. Basheer's spirituality transcended religion. He believed in a divine spirit that connected all beings. This gave rise to a a certain intensity, a kind of madness. His mind often wandered along the thin line between mysticism and what others might call the abnormal. His creativity flowed from this unique space—where spiritual insight and unconventional thoughts lived side by side. In a letter from a mental hospital, he wrote: 'I tried to understand everything… life, death… Is God a human idea? I believed—God exists. Call Him Allah, Khuda, or Lord—Allah exists…' To truly understand Basheer, we must open our hearts to the wide, tender world he saw so clearly.
