Student hostel to be set up on LU 2nd campus
Lucknow: Lucknow University is set to expand its
student accommodation facilities
in a move to meet the rising demand for on-campus housing.
A student hostel will be constructed on the second campus of the university along with the addition of a new floor to the existing Ganga Hostel.
These upgrades are scheduled to be completed for the 2026–27 academic session.
This announcement was made by dean, student welfare, VK Sharma during a recent episode of the university's official podcast 'A world for everyone', hosted by Vice-Chancellor Alok Kumar Rai.
"These upcoming projects are part of a bigger plan to improve student welfare and campus facilities. With more students enrolling every year, there is a growing need for extra hostel space. Our goal is to provide students not only with a place to stay but also a comfortable and well-equipped environment that supports their academic and personal growth. A new student hostel will be built on the university's second campus, and an additional floor will be added to the existing Ganga Hostel.
Both projects are expected to be completed by the 2026–27 academic session. Once the funds are secured, work on the project will begin immediately." said LU spokesperson Durgesh Srivastava.

Xiaomi reports record first-quarter revenue as it launches new electric SUV
China's Xiaomi on Tuesday reported record first-quarter revenue and profit, as the company said its ongoing shift towards higher-end products from smartphones to home appliances was already paying off. Revenue for the quarter ended March 31 was 111.3 billion yuan ($15.48 billion), up 47% year-on-year and beating the 107.6 billion yuan average of 17 analyst estimates compiled by LSEG. Adjusted net profit rose above 10 billion yuan for the first time, jumping 65% year-on-year to 10.7 billion yuan, ahead of the average estimate of 8.96 billion yuan, according to LSEG data. Xiaomi President Lu Weibing told a conference call with reporters that Xiaomi's strategy to focus on high-end products had yielded positive results. The world's third-largest smartphone maker, whose product lines also extend to cars, announced its latest electric SUV, the YU7, last week, which it will start selling in July. Lu said feedback on the YU7 indicated it could have a broader target market than its previous model, the SU7. The company did not disclose the price of the YU7 but suggested its better configurations should make the car 60,000-70,000 yuan more expensive than Tesla's best-selling Model Y, which is expected to be its strongest competitor and is priced from 263,500 yuan ($36,574). Xiaomi's EV business generated 18.1 billion yuan in revenue during the first quarter, delivering 75,869 SU7 sedans. It posted an adjusted net loss related to its EV and other new initiatives of 0.5 billion yuan. Its new EV orders have fallen since a fatal highway crash at the end of March involving an SU7 in driving-assistance mode, analysts have said. Its problems have been compounded by customer complaints of false advertising. Xiaomi apologised earlier this month for "not clear enough" marketing. Still, the company's shares have rebounded since April, giving it a market value of about $170 billion, higher than the roughly $161 billion commanded by BYD , China's biggest EV maker, LSEG data show. Xiaomi's first-quarter global smartphone shipments rose 3% from a year earlier to 41.8 million handsets, ranking it third globally, with a market share of 14.1%, according to its latest financial report citing data from researcher Canalys.

HighlightsThe Bharat Lab's research report "My First Salary" reveals the profound emotional significance of first paychecks for young earners in India's Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, emphasizing it as a cultural milestone. The study found that 88.5 percent of women perceive their salary as a symbol of personal freedom, with 44.6 percent of participants choosing to inform their mothers first about their earnings. The report recommends that fintech platforms provide flexible investment options, policymakers reassess entry-level salary benchmarks in semi-urban India, and educational institutions enhance financial literacy, especially for women. Rediffusion and Lucknow University's joint think tank, The Bharat Lab, has unveiled a new research report titled "My First Salary," delving into the financial behaviors and emotional experiences of young earners in India's Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities . The study, which surveyed 2,125 individuals, highlights that a first paycheck is more than just a financial event—it is a cultural milestone with significant emotional weight. Sandeep Goyal, co-chairman of Bharat Lab, said, "A first salary is more than a transaction. It's a declaration of independence, a family ritual, and often, a quiet revolution—especially for women." Alok Kumar Rai, chairman of Bharat Lab, added that the research reflects the "heartbeats of the nation" and speaks to a broad audience, not just economists. Key findings reveal that 38.8 percent of respondents spent their first salary on gifts, primarily for family, while 24.5 percent saved their income and 20.4 percent donated to religious or social causes. Notably, 88.5 percent of women viewed their salary as a symbol of personal freedom. Furthermore, 44.6 percent of participants informed their mothers first, underlining the importance of family bonds. The report also highlighted that one in three women opt to buy gold with their first income. Regarding Gen Z in Bharat, 76 percent prefer flexible investment models over rigid monthly SIPs, often linking investments to personal goals. This indicates a desire for personalized and adaptable financial planning. Based on the findings, the report provides recommendations for various stakeholders. Fintech platforms are advised to introduce flexible investment options, policymakers should reconsider entry-level salary benchmarks in semi-urban India, marketers should focus on emotional themes in their campaigns, and educational institutions should integrate financial literacy, particularly for women, into their curricula.
