The high court had earlier directed the JSSC to give a timeline for publishing the results of candidates to be appointed as teachers in govt schools. It expressed annoyance when the commission said that the appointment process would be completed by January 2026. A total of 26,001 assistant teachers would be appointed.
The PIL, filed by activist Dreze, mentioned that Jharkhand is ranked as one of the worst states in terms of the availability of school teachers. A study conducted by the Unified District Information System Education (UDISE) revealed that there is only one school teacher for 30% govt schools.
Under the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009, every school should have at least one teacher for every 30 students. Most primary and upper primary schools in the state do not comply with these norms, Dreze said in the petition.

Cong united in Punjab, set to return in 2027: Warring
Ludhiana: Punjab Congress president and Ludhiana MP Amrinder Singh Raja Warring Sunday asserted and reaffirmed that Congress was united in Punjab and was set to return to power in 2027. Addressing 'Save the Constitution' rallies in Gill and Payal assembly segments, the PCC chief also called for radical police reforms to fix responsibility and accountability over the registration of fake FIRs. Expressing grave concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state, Warring said that gangsters have created an atmosphere of fear like the one that prevailed during the height of terrorism in Punjab. He said ransom calls became routine, and helpless people were forced to pay ransom money and did not even dare to complain. Praising the former chief minister Beant Singh, who belonged to Payal, Warring said, "The happy and prosperous Punjab that we all see today was restored by Beant Singh by his blood. Punjab can never forget his great sacrifice." He pointed out how Congress led by Beant Singh came forward to fight the elections in 1992, while the Akalis ran away. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo "While some ran away to America and Canada, others hid behind the bars," he said, adding how so many Congress leaders and workers paid with their lives. On the drug menace in Punjab, he said there is no magic wand to deal with it instantly. He underlined the need to provide jobs to youth, which can act as a great antidote against drugs. He said there is a huge number of vacancies which the AAP govt is not filling as it doesn't have money to pay salaries. Warring suggested exploring the option of providing legalised and regulated traditional stuff like opium and poppy husk, which are less harmful than synthetic drugs. He quoted the example of Canada where cannabis was legalised in 2017. Congress general secretary and former deputy CM Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa lashed out at the BJP for spreading disinformation. He challenged the party to list one achievement during or after the freedom struggle of the country. He said the Congress does not need any certificate from BJP, Akali Dal, or the Aam Aadmi Party. Randhawa warned the govt against its attempts to acquire about one lakh acres of land, saying it will destroy Punjab's economy. He said this amounts to stopping the income of farmers worth Rs 50,000 crore. Among those present on the occasion were AICC Secretary Ravinder Dalvi, Dr Amar Singh, Tej Prakash, Capt Sandeep Sandhu, Gurkirat Singh Kotli, Kuldeep Singh Vaid, Lakhbir Singh Lakha, and others.

MLA opposes cut in Hebbal Metro hub land allocation in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: Rajajinagar MLA and former minister Suresh Kumar has urged the govt not to reduce the land allocated for the proposed multi-modal transport hub at Hebbal to 9 acres from 45 acres. In a letter to the govt, Kumar warned against altering the project to accommodate real estate and political interests. Kumar said any reduction would lead to the scrapping of critical citizen-friendly features such as parking space, and interlinking of three Metro lines, including the airport line. He alleged that the govt is quietly moving to approve the nine-acre plan. "If the govt forces BMRCL to compromise, I will educate civic groups and launch a campaign against this decision," he said. He urged chief minister Siddaramaiah, DCM DK Shivakumar, and industries minister MB Patil to reject any attempts by real estate lobbies to influence the project. Kumar also demanded compensation for the original landowners, who have waited over 20 years for settlement after their land was acquired.

Crypto cold war heats up: As Pakistan, Bhutan, and US go all in, where does India stand? Report reveals how the world is weaponising blockchain
In the evolving battle for digital dominance, cryptocurrency has emerged as more than just a financial experiment, it is now a tool of diplomacy, economic survival, and geopolitical manoeuvring. According to an ET report, countries from Pakistan to Bhutan, the US to the UAE, are embedding crypto into their national strategies. But amid this global pivot, India remains cautious, caught in a regulatory limbo that experts say is increasingly risky. Pakistan's crypto push: Strategic ties and suspicious timing Weeks before the Pahalgam terror attack, Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, agreed to advise the newly-formed Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). In July, President Asif Ali Zardari signed an ordinance setting up the Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (PVARA), allowing the country to license and regulate crypto entities. The move coincides with Pakistan's deepening ties to World Liberty Financial (WLF), a Trump-linked crypto firm. As ET notes, Pakistan is using crypto not just to attract investment but to gain currency with Washington. This could explain the US's relatively muted stance on Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. 'Crypto is becoming a channel for strategic financial flows for Pakistan,' Anirudh Suri of India Internet Fund told ET. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like นี่อาจเป็นโอกาสทองที่ดีที่สุดในรอบ 5 ปีสำหรับการเทรดทองคำ IC Markets อ่านเพิ่มเติม Undo He warns that this strategy poses a threat to India's attempts to cut off terror financing through global agencies like FATF and IMF. India's position: Still undecided, still unclear Despite multiple reminders from the Supreme Court, India is yet to clarify its stance on cryptocurrency. In a hearing in May, the apex court asked why the Centre had not produced a clear policy. The Reserve Bank of India remains sceptical, citing concerns over monetary stability, while SEBI has reportedly suggested multi-agency oversight. As ET highlights, India currently levies a 30% tax on crypto gains and 1% TDS on larger transactions, while exchanges are required to register with FIU-IND. Yet, a promised discussion paper outlining a national crypto framework, expected in June, is still awaited. Meanwhile, the use of crypto in terror financing is reportedly on the rise. Following the Pahalgam attack, FIU instructed exchanges to monitor transactions from Jammu and Kashmir, specifically scrutinizing private wallets and privacy coins, ET reported. Bhutan's bitcoin reserves: Small state, bold bet While Pakistan's crypto strategy raises alarms, Bhutan presents a very different model. As per ET, the Himalayan kingdom has mined over $1.3 billion worth of bitcoin, nearly 40% of its GDP, using surplus hydropower. Bitcoin now supports Bhutan's public spending, tourism projects, and even salary hikes for civil servants. Although India supports Bhutan's economic diversification, ET notes concerns about reduced hydropower exports and the country's increasing reliance on Chinese bitcoin mining gear. Companies like Adani are exploring data center opportunities there, which could shape bilateral ties going forward. Trump, stablecoins and the blurred lines of power In the US, the GENIUS (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins) Act is set for a vote. It aims to regulate stablecoins like USD1, launched by Trump's firm, World Liberty Financial. According to ET, Trump earned $57.4 million in 2024 from this venture, sparking allegations that the act could enable political favours for investors. An Abu Dhabi-based fund has already pledged $2 billion in USD1 for Binance. Experts quoted by ET worry that countries like Pakistan may exploit these loopholes to regain favour with the US. Subimal Bhattacharjee, a cybersecurity expert, warns this could undermine global financial norms under the cover of policy. What India must do - before it falls behind Experts say India must act quickly. 'Crypto doesn't really listen to borders,' Ananya Kumar of the Atlantic Council told ET. 'It's not a domestic issue, it's a global one.' Jaideep Reddy of Trilegal added that crypto lacks legal clarity under India's securities, foreign exchange, and tax laws, creating confusion for both businesses and consumers. ET also highlights concerns over capital flight via dollar-backed stablecoins. Regulating such flows while enabling legitimate innovation is critical, say experts. As the Supreme Court presses for answers and neighbours surge ahead with defined policies, India faces a stark choice: lead with a robust, transparent crypto strategy, or risk being outpaced and outflanked in the new digital order.
