NMC schools start admissions for nursery, Class 1 for 2025-26
Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has officially started the admission process for academic year 2025–26 at its schools, from nursery and Class 1. With an array of free facilities — including admission, uniforms, textbooks, and more — the initiative is drawing strong interest from parents across the city.
NMC schools offer education in Marathi, Hindi, Urdu, and English mediums. In addition to traditional language mediums, 11 schools provide semi-English education, while 7 are fully English-medium. This multilingual approach ensures inclusive education for a wide demographic.
The educational upliftment is being spearheaded under the leadership of NMC commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari and additional commissioner Vaishnavi B.
Their combined efforts contributed to significant improvements in academic outcomes, including a sharp rise in the number of students scoring over 90% in Class 10 and 12 board exams. Education officer Sadhana Sayam shared that these results reflect the growing academic strength of NMC schools.
Several initiatives such as the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Model School, PM Shri Schools, Mission Navchetna, and the Smart City Project have transformed municipal schools into vibrant, well-equipped learning environments.
Students receive free school uniforms, books, and other essential supplies from Class 1 to 8 under govt schemes. The benefits extend to Balwadi (preschool) and Classes 9 to 12.
To further support female students and reduce dropout rates, NMC offers financial attendance incentive of Rs4,000 per year to girls with over 80% attendance. Additionally, students who travel long distances are provided free bicycles and bus passes.
Currently, NMC operates 114 schools across the city, including primary, secondary, and junior colleges offering courses in arts, commerce, and science. The GM Banatwala English Medium School, which provides education from Nursery to Class 10, witnessed a surge in admissions due to its high standards.
Students admitted for the 2025–26 session will receive their free uniforms and textbooks on the very first day of school.
Preparations are in full swing to welcome new students with decorated classrooms, music, sweets, and flower bouquets. Education Officer Sayam confirmed that the first day will be celebrated to make students feel special and excited about school.

Video: Bengaluru Auto Driver Screams At Woman Over Fare, Demands She Speak Kannada
In recent times, the Kannada language row in Karnataka has sparked significant debate, particularly in Bengaluru, a city known for its multicultural population. While advocates suggest people learn the language, claiming it's a way of respecting the local culture, critics argue that such a demand is exclusionary in a cosmopolitan setting. Now, a video of a heated argument between a woman and a Bengaluru auto rickshaw driver has reignited the language debate online. Taking to Instagram, user Anya S shared a video in which the auto driver is seen speaking in Kannada in a visibly aggressive tone. She said that the argument between the two began after the driver demanded Rs 390 for a ride that, according to her Rapido app, was supposed to cost Rs 296. In the video, Anya repeatedly tells the driver that she will pay what the app says. "Don't scream at me. I'll only pay what the app says," she says. However, as the driver continues to scream at her, she calls over another auto-rickshaw driver, saying, "Aap yahan aao, mujhe darr lag raha hai (Come here, I'm feeling scared)." The driver, on the other hand, becomes aggressive, demanding that she speak Kannada. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anya S (@anyadamnson) In the caption, Anya recounted the entire incident. "This isn't about refusing to learn the local language - of course I want to learn Kannada. But when people behave like this, it makes me question myself. It makes me think, why should I make the effort when they don't know how to treat me with basic respect?" she wrote. "I calmly told him I'd pay what the app showed. Rs 296. That's it. But he began shouting. He stepped in, came close - trying to intimidate me, scare me. He mocked me for speaking Hindi. Told me I had no right to be here if I didn't speak Kannada. But this wasn't about language. This was about entitlement, aggression, and disrespect," Anya continued. She further made it clear that she wasn't against paying extra when deserved. "I'm someone who happily pays extra when I've had a good ride. But not when someone tries to bully or threaten me into it," she wrote. "We're part of this city. We live here, we work here, we contribute to its economy. And that means we deserve fairness, dignity, and safety - no matter what language we speak. If you've ever felt unsafe or second-guessed yourself in moments like this - you are not wrong. You are not alone. And you have every right to say no," she concluded. As the video gained traction online, ride-hailing app Rapido responded, assuring action. "At Rapido, customer safety and dignity are our highest priorities, Anya... the reported captain has been permanently barred from our platform. Additionally, we are working on implementing stronger protocols for our captains to prevent such incidents in the future," the company commented. Bengaluru locals also responded to the clip. One user wrote, "As a proud Kannadiga, I want to apologize for the unacceptable behavior of some individuals who are tarnishing our reputation and that of South India. I recommend exploring alternative transportation options like Yulu electric scooters, buses, and metros. On behalf of all educated Kannadigas, we extend our sincerest you're safe and okay." "Last resort when they get caught is speak in Kannada , these unruly autodrivers don't represent Karnataka and our Kannada . They behave the same with Kannadigas too," commented another.

The Night Two Planes Collided And Death Rained: Ahmedabad Crash Brings Back India's Deadliest Aviation Tragedy
New Delhi: It was a calm 12 November evening in 1996 when the skies over Charkhi Dadri in Haryana turned into a scene from a nightmare. At 6:30 PM, two passenger jets – one from Kazakhstan and the other from Saudi Arabia – smashed into each other mid-air, killing all 349 people on board. It remains the deadliest aviation disaster in India's history. Now, 29 years later, the Air India Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad on June 12 has reopened wounds that never truly healed. For those who witnessed the horror unfold back then, the images are etched in memory – bodies scattered across fields, fireballs lighting up the sky and silence broken only by the sound of sirens and crying families. Senior journalist Dayanand Pradhan was the first reporter on the ground in Charkhi Dadri that night. 'There were bodies everywhere. Some missing limbs, others charred beyond recognition. You could not take a step without stumbling upon wreckage or death,' he recalled while talking to Dainik Bhaskar. He still keeps an album of photos from that day – a reminder of a tragedy that time could never erase. Locals remember seeing two fireballs falling from the sky like comets. Within seconds, chaos erupted. People ran barefoot across harvested fields, trying to find survivors. 'We heard a thunderclap, saw a flash and then the sky rained metal and fire. We rushed in, calling others to help. But the heat was so intense, we couldn't get near,' one Rampal, who lived near the crash site, told the Hindi daily. Farmer Suresh was sowing wheat that day in his field. The aircraft debris ruined his land and his peace. 'Even after the bodies were cleared and the flames died down, no one went near those fields. It felt cursed,' he said. Debris and human remains were found scattered across a 10-kilometre radius. In the aftermath, volunteers from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) provided food and shelter to grieving families. Locals helped with cremations, often performing last rites for strangers. Master Suresh Garg recalls how people from nearby towns arrived in droves to offer aid. 'The village turned into a makeshift funeral ground. No one waited for orders. We just did what had to be done,' he said. Then-Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda and Haryana Cief Minister Bansi Lal rushed to Charkhi Dadri to take a stock of the situation. They promised a hospital and a memorial. A Saudi charity later set up a temporary hospital, but it eventually shut down. Six-Point Breakdown 1. Collision over Tikana village: Saudi Flight 763, a Boeing 747, was flying to Dhahran from Delhi. Kazakh Flight 1907 was a chartered Ilyushin Il-76 arriving in Delhi from Chimkent. The two collided mid-air, about 65 km from Delhi. 2. A full flight: The Saudi plane carried 312 passengers and crew, while the Kazakh flight had 37 people on board, mostly tourists. 3. Missed instructions: The Kazakh pilot first contacted Delhi ATC when the plane was 23,000 feet high. He was instructed to descend to 15,000 feet. Meanwhile, the Saudi flight was cleared to climb to 14,000 feet. 4. One corridor, two planes: At the time, Delhi had only one air corridor for commercial aircraft. The military used the others. Both jets were on the same path, only separated by 1,000 feet vertically. 5. Ignored orders: A court-led inquiry found that the Kazakh pilot descended below the instructed altitude, crashing into the Saudi jet from below. Investigators confirmed that the ATC had given clear and correct directions. 6. Inquiry by Justice Lahoti: A special panel led by Justice R.C. Lahoti concluded that the accident occurred due to pilot's error, not mechanical fault. The Kazakh aircraft, it found, breached altitude protocol – causing the mid-air collision. The black box, designed to survive catastrophic crashes, confirmed the ATC's version. It ruled out weather or system failure. It pointed to miscommunication and the Kazakh pilot's deviation from assigned altitude.
