Twin sisters from Ulhasnagar score above 99% in 10th exams, aim to become doctors
ULHASNAGAR: It is said that "no matter what the situation, if you have the desire in your heart, you will find the way." This is what the twin sisters Disha and Neha Nandani from Ulhasnagar proved by scoring 99.60 and 99.40 percent in the recently declared 10th CBSE results.
Both twin sisters, whose parents are somehow educating their daughters by doing small jobs, want to become doctors. However, due to the financial situation, their father, Sunder Nandani, and mother, Jaywanti, found the desire of their two daughters a difficult path.
The recent excellent result of the twin sisters in the recently declared 10th result now gives them hope that their daughters will be able to fulfil their dream of becoming doctors.
Sunder mentioned that a Kalyan-based class also came forward to bear the expenses of both daughters for the preparation of the NEET exam required to get admission for doing MBBS.
Both the girls, Disha and Neha, said that even though the financial condition of their parents was weak, they never let any shortage affect their studies. According to their mother, Jaywanti, apart from the Holy Family School, the Christi classes in Ulhasnagar also contributed a lot to the education of the girls.

They gave them the opportunity to pay the fees in many instalments, which enabled them to succeed in educating them.
Both twin sisters said that they used to study for four hours a day apart from school and class, and they were confident that they would get good marks. They are happy that both of them got more than 99 percent marks.
Sunder told TOI, "I lost my job in Covid, after which my wife started making sweets at home. Both of us are now making and selling sweets, running our livelihood by doing the same, and also managing the education of the children." He further said, "Due to my daughters' ambition of becoming doctors, earlier we were worried about how we would bear their further education expenses. But due to their good marks, a class has come forward to bear their NEET preparation.
"
On Wednesday, when the local BJP MLA Kumar Ailani came to know about these twin girls, he facilitated them and offered both girls and their parents all possible help if needed.

Elon Musk's Starlink gets licence to start India services amid feud with Trump
Elon Musk's Starlink has received a licence from the telecom department for providing satellite internet services in India, a key milestone that will take it closer towards launching commercial operations in the country. Starlink is the third company after Eutelsat OneWeb and Jio Satellite Communications to get a licence from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to provide satellite internet services in the country. A fourth applicant, Amazon's Kuiper is still waiting for approvals. DoT sources confirmed on Friday (June 6, 2025) that Starlink has indeed received the licence and said the company will be granted trial spectrum in 15-20 days of applying for it. Starlink will now have to comply with the security norms such as providing access for lawful interception, before starting services. The licence came hours after a huge public spat between Mr. Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump. The falling-out between the world's richest man and the world's most powerful person began when Mr. Musk, who left his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency a week ago, denounced Mr. Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill. On Thursday (June 5, 2025), it erupted in the verbal duel after Mr. Trump criticised Mr. Musk in the Oval Office. Mr. Musk responded, saying, 'Trump would have lost' without his help, prompting the U.S. President to end U.S. contracts. The licence from DoT came nearly a month after the Starlink was issued a letter of intent (LoI) by the telecom department. The companies that have received the licence would, however, have to a wait a tad longer for commercial satcom spectrum as the Trai just recently sent its recommendations on pricing, and terms and conditions, to the government for its consideration. The players will be able to start their services after the allocation of radio wave frequencies. Typically, even before the commercial spectrum, the trial spectrum is required to test, and verify the systems and processes on security parameters to demonstrate that all norms and requirements, are being complied with. The status of the Starlink's final nod from the Indian space regulator, In-SPACe could not be immediately ascertained. Starlink is a satellite internet service developed by SpaceX — the American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company founded in 2002 by the world's richest man Musk. It provides high-speed, low-latency broadband internet worldwide using satellite technology and is aptly described by some as broadband beamed from the skies. Unlike conventional satellite services that rely on distant geostationary satellites, Starlink utilises the world's largest low Earth orbit or LEO constellation (550 km above Earth). This constellation of LEO satellites (7,000 now but eventually set to grow to over 40,000) and its mesh delivers broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, online gaming, and video calls. Starlink, which had been vying for an Indian licence for some time now, recently signed pacts with Ambani's Reliance Jio and Mittal's Bharti Airtel, which together control more than 70% of the country's telecom market, to bring the U.S. satellite internet giant's services to India. The nod for the satcom offering — known for its resilience in harsh conditions and conflict zones — coincides with escalation of Donald Trump-Elon Musk feud in the U.S. Early last month, the government had issued stringent security norms mandating legal interception of satellite communication services and barred companies from linking connection of users in any form with any terminal or facility located outside the country's border as well as processing of their data overseas. The tighter security rules also mandate service providers to indigenise at least 20% of their ground segments of the satellite network within years of their establishment in the country. The satcom service licence holders will require security clearances for specific gateway and hub locations in India and compliance with monitoring, interception facilities and equipment requirements. India's rules mandate satcom firms to demonstrate system capabilities with respect to security aspects, including monitoring, to the Department of Telecom (DoT) or its authorised representatives before starting operations in India. It is pertinent to mention that telecom regulator TRAI last month recommended that satellite communication companies like Starlink pay 4% of their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) as spectrum charges to the government — a rate steeper than what these firms had been lobbying for. Operators offering satellite-based broadband internet services in urban areas would have to shell out an additional Rs 500 per subscribers annually, TRAI recommended. No additional levy would be applicable for services in rural areas. COAI, whose members include Reliance Jio and Airtel, recently approached the telecom department to raise concerns over TRAI recommendations on the satcom spectrum. The industry body argued that 'incorrect assumptions' have led to unjustifiably low spectrum charges for satellite services relative to terrestrial networks — a claim strongly rejected by Trai, which has ruled out any review of recommendations at this stage, based on industry body COAI's charges.

F-47 sixth generation fighter jet of US likely to get its first buyer, not India, Pakistan, Israel, Ukraine, UK, France, Saudi Arabia, it is...
F-47 will be the first American-made 6th gen fighter jet. (File/Wiki) Amid Russia and China rapidly advancing their military technologies, especially the development of sixth-generation fighter jets, the United States has announced that it was building F-47– the country's first 6th-gen fighter jet. Sharing the news, US President Donald Trump described the F-47 as the 'most advanced and powerful jet' ever built. 'The F-47 will be the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built,' Trump said, while his Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the 6th-generation aircraft was a 'clear message' to US' allies and enemies. 'It sends a very clear message to our allies that we're here to stay—and to our enemies that we will continue to project power globally without any obstacles,' said Hegseth. F-47 – US' first 6th-generation fighter jet Developed and manufactured by American aerospace giant Boeing, the F-47 is the US' first officially-announced 6th-generation fighter jet designed to supplement and support its older platforms, such as the F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22, and F-35 fighters. Notably, China is already developing two two sixth-generation fighter jet prototypes, the J-36 and J-50, one of whom was showcased at the Zhuhai Airshow in late 2024. The Chinese 6th-gen fighter jets feature advanced stealth capabilities with a unique tailless airframes, and will be powered by three engines. Japan to be first buyer of F-47? Interestingly, Japan may become the first country to acquire the F-47 fighter jet from the US. According to a report by the Eurasian Times, Japan is considering to add the sixth-generation aircraft to its air force fleet. Additionally, several media reports have claimed the Donald Trump had personally offered F-47 jet to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba during a phone call last month. However, Trump said the export variant of the F-47 which will be sold to US allies will be a 'toned down' version of the aircraft. 'Our allies are calling constantly. They want to buy them also. And we will be selling to certain allies—perhaps toned-down versions,' Trump said.

US adds 139,000 jobs in May despite trade war, growing recession fear
US employers slowed hiring last month, but still added a solid 1,39,000 jobs amid uncertainty over Trump's trade wars. Hiring fell from a revised 1,47,000 in April, the Department of Labour said Friday. The unemployment rate stayed at 4.2 per cent. Trump's aggressive and unpredictable policies – especially his sweeping taxes on imports – have muddied the outlook for the economy and the job market and raised fears that the American economy could be headed toward recession. But so far the damage hasn't shown up clearly in government economic data. Economists expect Trump's policies to take a toll on America's economy, the world's largest. His massive taxes on imports — tariffs — are expected to raise costs for US companies that buy raw materials, equipment and components from overseas and force them to cut back hiring or even lay off workers. Billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has slashed federal workers and cancelled government contracts. Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration is expected to make it harder for businesses to find enough workers. For the most part, though, any damage has yet to show up in the government's economic data. The US economy and job market have proven surprisingly resilient in recent years. When the inflation fighters at the Federal Reserve raised their benchmark interest rate 11 times in 2022 and 2023, the higher borrowing costs were widely expected to tip the United States into a recession. Instead, the economy kept growing and employers kept hiring. But former Fed economist Claudia Sahm warns that the job market of 2025 isn't nearly as durable as the two or three years ago when immigrants were pouring into the US job market and employers were posting record job openings. 'Any signs of weakness in the data this week would stoke fears of a recession again,' Sahm, now chief economist at New Century Advisors, wrote in a Substack post this week. 'It's too soon to see the full effects of tariffs, DOGE, or other policies on the labour market; softening now would suggest less resilience to those later effects, raising the odds of a recession.' Recent economic reports have sent mixed signals. The Labour Department reported Tuesday that US job openings rose unexpectedly to 7.4 million in April — seemingly a good sign. But the same report showed that layoffs ticked up and the number of Americans quitting their jobs fell, a sign they were less confident they could find something better elsewhere. Surveys by the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, found that both American manufacturing and services businesses were contracting last month. And the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits rose last week to the highest level in eight months. Jobless claims — a proxy for layoffs — still remain low by historical standards, suggesting that employers are reluctant to cut staff despite uncertainty over Trump's policies. They likely remember how hard it was to bring people back from the massive but short-lived layoffs of the 2020 COVID-19 recession as the US economy bounced back with unexpected strength. Still, the job market has clearly decelerated. So far this year, American employers have added an average 1,44,000 jobs a month. That is down from 1,68,000 last year; 2,16,000 in 2023; 3,80,000 in 2022, and a record 6,03,000 in 2021 in the rebound from COVID-19 layoffs. Trump's tariffs — and the erratic way he rolls them out, suspends them and conjures up new ones — have already buffeted the economy. America's gross domestic product — the nation's output of goods and services — fell at a 0.2 per cent annual pace from January through March this year. A surge of imports shaved 5 percentage points off growth during the first quarter as companies rushed to bring in foreign products ahead of Trump's tariffs. Imports plunged by a record 16 per cent in April as Trump's levies took effect. The drop in foreign goods could mean fewer jobs at the warehouses that store them and the trucking companies that haul them around, wrote Michael Madowitz, an economist at the left-leaning Roosevelt Institute.
