Vedantu's Daksh Tayalia Secures Karnataka Rank 1 and AIR 15 in JEE Advanced 2025
India, June 2025 –Daksh Tayalia, a student of Vedantu's3-Year Long Term Batch, has achieved All India Rank 15 in the JEE Advanced 2025 exam, along with securing Rank 1 in Karnataka and a perfect120/120 in Mathematics. Daksh's exceptional performance highlights not just his dedication, but also proves that, despite questions around the effectiveness of online learning, outstanding results can be achieved through resourceful content and by providing the highest personal attention to each student.
Daksh began his journey with Vedantu in ninth grade, discovering an online learning environment that was both engaging and structured to foster deep conceptual understanding. "I started with Vedantu because I enjoyed the fun and interactive way of learning," Daksh says. 'The online sessions allowed me to study at my own pace. I could revisit lessons, solve problems, and strengthen concepts, which helped me improve steadily.'
The personalised guidance Daksh received was a crucial part of his success
A key challenge during Daksh's preparation was mastering the NCERT concepts, especially in Chemistry. "Chemistry was a bit of a struggle, and I only picked it up seriously late. I had to focus on revisiting the material and identifying those areas where I was weak," Daksh shares. "But Vedantu's online model made this process easier because I could go back to lessons and really understand the concepts in depth."
The personalised guidance Daksh received was a crucial part of his success. "The flexibility of online learning made a huge difference," Daksh explains. "I could pace myself, manage my time better, and revisit difficult topics. What sets Vedantu apart is its personal touch — the teachers know you well, and you're not competing with your peers, but working to be your best self."
Vedantu's Long Term Batches provided Daksh with consistent mentorship and personalised study plans, helping him focus on self-improvement. Daksh's achievement reinforces the effectiveness of Vedantu's #StudentObsessed approach, where personalised attention, expert mentorship, and high-quality content come together to deliver real results — all through online learning.
"Success is not just about hard work, but about having the right guidance and support," said Vamsi Krishna, Co-founder & CEO of Vedantu. "Daksh's journey, like many others, proves that Vedantu's online model — honed over the years — continues to deliver outcomes for students year after year."

Environment minister to visit e-waste park in Norway to note best practices
Delhi environment and industries minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa arrived in Oslo on Sunday to study electronic waste (e-waste) management systems, ahead of the city's plan to develop an e-waste park in Holambi Kalan. The visit, facilitated in coordination with the Norwegian government, will take place on Monday. Environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa (HT Photo) On Monday, Sirsa will visit an e-waste park in Oslo where the entire chain of e-waste management — from collection to processing — will be assessed, including technologies in use. 'We will also visit an industrial area, in the middle of the city, to again study the best practices, ranging from waste management there to ensuring recycling and zero air pollution,' Sirsa told HT. The Delhi government is planning to build a dedicated e-waste park over 11.4 acres in north Delhi, aimed at processing over 51,000 metric tonnes of e-waste annually. A feasibility study for the ₹150 crore project will be undertaken soon, following which a global RFQ-cum-RFP (Request for Qualification-cum-Request for Proposal) will be floated. 'This is a short visit to understand how Norway is managing its e-waste. We want Delhi's e-waste park to generate zero pollution. Previous governments didn't plan for the present or the future, and that is why we have waste mountains. We don't want to repeat those mistakes,' Sirsa said. He added that the Delhi government is also studying Hong Kong's e-waste management model. 'We are examining both Norway and Hong Kong to get a sense of the advanced machines and technologies we can use for the project,' Sirsa said. He is expected to return to Delhi on Tuesday. The Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC) is the nodal agency for the project. Sirsa, who has been accompanied by DSIIDC officials on the trip, had earlier announced that a third-party feasibility study would evaluate global models with a focus on zero-emission and zero-landfill systems. Other features under consideration include scientific dismantling protocols, metal recovery systems, digital waste tracking, air quality monitoring, and pollution control mechanisms. The park is expected to generate over ₹350 crore in economic output, according to government estimates. Once awarded, the construction of the facility will take 18 months to complete, officials have said.

Indian priest Richard D'Souza appointed director of Vatican Observatory
Indian Catholic priest Richard D'Souza has been appointed as the new director of the Vatican Observatory. The newly elected Pope Leo XIV confirmed his appointment on Thursday evening. Fr D'Souza, who has a doctorate in astronomy and who has been a staff member at the Observatory since 2016. (MLA Delilah Lobo | X account) D'Souza, 47, a Jesuit priest who hails from Goa and who holds a doctorate in Astronomy will succeed the existing head of one of the world's oldest astronomical observatories, will succeed incumbent Guy Consolmagno, when his term ends on September 15. 'I am very honoured to be appointed by Pope Leo XIV as the next Director of the Vatican Observatory,' D'Souza said in a comment to HT. Also Read:Pope to bestow one of Catholic Church's highest honors on John Henry Newman 'On one hand, I am aware of the many high-profile Jesuits who have held this position in the past and have paved the way for the Observatory's success today: I am truly standing on the shoulders of giants. On the other hand, I understand the great responsibility entrusted to me of guiding the Vatican Observatory at this critical time, so that the Specola continues to serve the Pope and the Universal Church, promoting the dialogue between faith and science, through solid scientific research,' he said. D'Souza who hails from Mapusa in Goa a Bachelor's degree in Physics at St Xavier's College Mumbai, a Master in Physics at the University of Heidelberg, Germany where he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, Heidelberg for his thesis work; a doctorate in astronomy with research done at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, Munich, concentrating on the formation and evolution of galaxies and a post-doctoral programme at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, US. He is a member of the International Astronomical Union and has recently had an asteroid named after him. 'I am delighted that His Holiness has chosen Fr. D'Souza to be the next director of the Vatican Observatory. I know that Fr. D'Souza has the vision and wisdom to carry the Observatory forward during this time of rapid change in astronomical research, especially given his experience with space telescopes and advanced computational techniques,' incumbent Consolmagno said. Back in Goa Richard's parents Mary and Joseph expressed their 'happiness and gratitude' at the opportunity he has been entrusted with to serve in his mission. 'As a child he was always curious and showed interest in the scientific side of things and we are happy and grateful that he has been entrusted with this responsibility that allows him to serve both his mission and the pursuit of science,' the family stated. The Vatican Observatory is one of the oldest astronomical observatories in the world. It was founded in 1891, by Pope Leo XIII. D'Souza has been a staff member of the Vatican Observatory since 2016 and has held the role of the Superior of the Jesuit community of the Vatican Observatory since 2022. In 2018, he along with researchers working at the Vatican Observatory found conclusive evidence of a long lost galaxy the third biggest after Andromeda and the Milky Way, named 32p that was 'shredded and cannibalised' by the Milky Way's galactic neighbour Andromeda about two billion years ago. This disrupted galaxy was the third-largest member of the local group of galaxies, after the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. Using computer models, D'Souza and Bell were able to piece together this evidence, revealing this long-lost sibling. Their findings were published in Nature Astronomy in July 2018. His research focuses on the phenomenon of galaxy merging and its effects on the present day properties of galaxies like the Milky Way. He has published in numerous international scientific journals and is a member of several international collaborations.

Real-time surveillance begins at 2 more STPs in Greater Noida
GREATER NOIDA: The Greater Noida authority has installed Online Continuous Monitoring Systems (OCMS) at two more sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Ecotech-2 and Ecotech-3 for real-time surveillance and better wastewater management and environmental compliance, officials said on Monday. The OCMS technology enables real-time tracking of key pollution parameters like Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and other indicators before and after sewage treatment. (HT Photos) The OCMS technology enables real-time tracking of key pollution parameters like Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and other indicators before and after sewage treatment, they added. 'The system was first introduced at the 2 MLD Badalpur STP, and within a month, has been extended to the 15 million litres per day (MLD) plant in Ecotech-2 and the 20 MLD plant in Ecotech-3,' said additional chief executive officer (ADCEO) Prerna Singh. To be sure, the initiative is part of the Namami Gange programme that mandates online monitoring of all STPs to ensure proper treatment of sewage and discharge of compliant effluent into water bodies. As per the central government's Namami Gange flagship programme that mandates online monitoring of all STPs, Greater Noida authority's chief executive officer NG Ravi Kumar instructed the concerned department to prioritise implementation of OCMS across all STPs in the region, Singh added. The only major STP now left without this system is a 137 MLD capacity plant at Kasna that is expected to be equipped with OCMS within a month, said officials. Meanwhile, the data collected by OCMS will be accessible not only to the authority's sewerage department but also to the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) and the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), who can monitor operations remotely from their offices, they said. 'We are working on a plan to equip all STPs with online monitoring systems and Kasna STP is next. The move will help ensure improved operations and quality control,' she added. The system enables up to six users—officials from the authority, contractors, UPPCB, and Namami Gange officials—to access real-time data through laptops or mobile devices. The estimated cost of installing OCMS at each STP is around ₹30 lakh, fully borne by the authority, said senior manager (sewerage department, Greater Noida authority) Vinod Sharma. Beyond compliance, the authority is also exploring the utility of treated water. Currently, the water obtained after treatment is used for irrigation and construction purposes. Officials said that talks are underway between the authority and National Thermal Power Corporation to use this water for thermal power generation as well. Officials said that citizens or contractors interested in using treated water for irrigation or construction can obtain it at a nominal rate of ₹7 per kilolitre by contacting the sewerage department on 9211825118. The initiative comes as part of Greater Noida authority's broader strategy to modernise wastewater treatment infrastructure. The authority is working to transition to advanced technologies to enhance treatment efficiency and meet stricter discharge norms, HT had reported on July 26. The integration of OCMS is viewed as a complementary step towards ensuring transparency, accountability, and long-term sustainability in sewage management, officials said.
