Top 8 Online Learning Apps in India Transforming Education
Here's a look at some of the top-rated online learning apps that are redefining the Indian education ecosystem:
Arguably the most recognized name in Indian EdTech, BYJU'S offers highly engaging and personalized learning journeys for students from kindergarten to competitive exams like JEE, NEET, and UPSC. The app combines video lessons, quizzes, and real-world examples to simplify complex topics. Its adaptive learning path ensures that students progress at their own pace.

Why It Stands Out: Live classes with top educators
Daily practice questions and mock tests
Dedicated channels for exam-specific prep
Vedantu specializes in live, interactive classes for school students (Grades 1–12) as well as JEE/NEET aspirants.

IEEE MOVE Comes To India To Help Disaster Workers
Left to right: Kathleen Kramer, Mary Ellen Randell and me In June I wrote an article about visiting the IEEE MOVE volunteers in Puerto Rico. I was able join IEEE President Kathleen Kramer and IEEE President Elect Mary Ellen Randell in Bangalore, India for the launch of the first Indian MOVE truck. IEEE with the IEEE MOVE Outreach India program, launched its first Mobile Outreach Vehicle (MOVE) to be deployed outside the United States. The MOVE India Vehicle was unveiled on July 21 at the IEEE India Office, World Trade Center, Bengaluru. The vehicle is designed to bring educational resources to communities in India and, in the future, provide communication and technology support to relief workers during emergencies in Karnataka. The Indian web site says that, when not deployed for disaster relief efforts, the IEEE MOVE vehicle will be taken to schools, events, and other venues to educate the public—showcasing leading technologies and raising awareness about the positive impact these technologies have on society. Even before the India MOVE truck was commissioned this week the Indian volunteers had done MOVE themed STEM outreach with the local community. The MOVE truck is shown below. IEEE Indian MOVE Truck Built on a rugged Force Traveller chassis and engineered to navigate India's diverse terrains, the IEEE MOVE India Vehicle's modular design, power system, and advanced emergency communication suite provide the technology and communication tools relief workers need in the event of a disaster. The vehicle also provides a catalyst for STEM education and sustainability awareness. The MOVE India Vehicle has a grid and solar-powered energy setup with a hybrid inverter and lithium-ion battery bank, delivering up to 30 hours of energy. The onboard communications include a Wi-Fi 6e antenna suite, 4G connectivity, and HAM radio systems to provide seamless, high-bandwidth communication during emergencies. Inside, the vehicle carries interactive STEM kits aimed at educating students and communities on climate change, disaster preparedness, and sustainable technologies. The STEM program is expected to reach over 100 schools annually, beginning with operations in Karnataka, and will expand further to other states across India. IEEE MOVE stands for Mobile Outreach VEhicle, is a program focused on providing disaster relief and STEM education. It utilizes a specially designed vehicle to deliver emergency communication, power, and computing services to areas affected by natural disasters. Additionally, the vehicle and its resources are used for educational outreach, showcasing technology and its positive impact on society. There are three MOVE trucks in the USA with the first one commissioned in 2016. In the US the MOVE trucks have been deployed to assist the Red Cross 40 times for various types of natural disasters. It has participated in STEM outreach events many more times. The trucks have been based in the Southeastern US as well as in California. In addition to the three US MOVE trucks and the new one in India, Puerto Rico has a group of IEEE volunteers who have modular boxes of gear to help with communications and power needs for disaster workers that they can put into a vehicle and deploy on the island when needed. The IEEE MOVE disaster relief and STEM program expanded into INDIA with the launch of the first MOVE India truck.

International students look to cleanse social media amid new Trump visa policy
International students are scrubbing their social media or in some case reevaluating their decision to study in the U.S. after the Trump administration announced new visa screenings without offering specific insight into what could get someone on the no-entry list. Companies that specialize in mass deletions of posts have seen an uptick in services since the Department of Homeland Security's announcement. But clearing out everything the administration finds controversial could raise other alarms, leaving foreign students in a bind. 'I think students have pretty much assumed that anything is open for interpretation or misinterpretation, and so as a result, they're extremely cautious when it comes to engaging with social media moving forward,' said Fanta Aw, executive director and CEO of the Association of International Educators, or NAFSA. The new screenings were announced in June after a three-week pause on visa interviews to update the policy, part of a broader Trump crackdown on both legal and illegal immigration. The State Department said it would target those 'who pose a threat to U.S. national security,' without specifying what that would entail, and demanded anyone applying for a student visa make their social media accounts public. The go-to response from students appears to be cleansing their social media of anything even remotely controversial. Dan Saltman, CEO and founder of says his company's trajectory has 'greatly accelerated' with 10 percent growth each month for the past few months. His firm offers a software that allows individuals to mass delete posts across 30 different platforms. 'Basically, our understanding is that people are using this to clean up any political takes that they have, whatsoever, anything that can be seen as inflammatory, really kind of quelling freedom of speech,' Saltman said. 'We've especially seen this growth in international countries, especially India, China, South Korea, have been some of the biggest growth areas that we've seen on that front. And we've also seen it as well from people in the U.S. and the U.K., very heavily. So, it's been an unprecedented level of change of how people think about their privacy,' he added. China and India are the two biggest exporters of students to the U.S. In the 2023-2024 school year, around 1.1 million international students came to America, with those two nations making up more than half. Shaun Carver, executive director of International House at the University of California, Berkeley, said his group has seen a 40 percent decrease in Chinese and Indian students since last year. 'India and China have always been 9 to 10 percent of the I-House population, and this year there both of them are below 6,' Carver said, adding other countries in Africa and the Middle East appear to be securitized heavily. Students and advocates have been spooked for months as they watch the Trump administration target the visas of, and, at times, arrest international students who have expressed pro-Palestinian views. The administration says those under scrutiny have expressed support for Hamas or antisemitism, but students fear getting caught up in a wide net that could potentially flag anything anti-Israel — or anti-Trump — as disqualifying. In response to requests for clarification from The Hill, a State Department spokesperson reiterated students need to change their account settings to 'public' for vetting purposes. 'As with any country, applying for a visa is voluntary, and individuals are free to decide whether to pursue travel to the United States,' the spokesperson added. Plans to purge social media accounts could raise alarms, but the problem could be even worse for someone who never had social media before. 'It's a catch-22 for students: If you didn't have any social media presence to begin with, that could be considered suspect. And so what do you do about that?' Aw asked. 'You go ahead and you create a social media presence, and then, because you've created a social media presence' that would have little activity 'could that also be considered suspect? So there's, there's no winning here on any level,' she added.
