Sule criticises Maharashtra government over rise in crime, alleges Rs 4,900 crore scam in Ladki Bahin scheme
MUMBAI: NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule on Saturday slammed the BJP-led Mahayuti government for failing to address the rising crime rate in Maharashtra, accusing it of being a mute spectator as miscreants had no fear of the law. Speaking to reporters here, the Baramati MP claimed that a Rs 4,900 crore scam had taken place in the Majhi Ladki Bahin Yogana, the government's flagship scheme that provides a monthly assistance of Rs 1,500 to women. She said parts of the state, including Pune and Beed districts, have witnessed a steady surge in crimes, while the government remains a mute spectator. "People have lost faith in the system. There is no fear of the law. Who is backing these criminals? Instead of looking into these questions, the government chooses to stay silent," she said. Sule criticised the delay in the formation of a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the 2022 murder of Parli-based businessman Mahadev Munde. "Only after Munde's wife, Dnyaneshwari, attempted self-immolation and met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, did the government act. We demand a fair and transparent probe by the SIT," she said. Sule also raised concerns about the recent communal unrest at Yavat in Daund tehsil, where groups of persons, angered by a social media post, vandalised and set ablaze properties.

Kuwait hits 60% milestone in ambitious education reform: Major curriculum and digital upgrades underway
Kuwait's education overhaul, the largest in two decades is 60% complete/Representative Image TL;DR: Kuwait 's Cabinet has approved a comprehensive six‑pillar education reform, led by Health and Education Minister Sayed Jalal Al‑Tabtabaei, with 60% of the plan completed. Core focus areas include curriculum overhaul for Grades 1–9, smart school infrastructure, teacher licensing, and Ministry automation. Kuwait is partnering with the OECD to benchmark curricula, link teacher licensing to PISA 2029 readiness, and raise international standards. After the Cabinet's formal approval in January 2025, Kuwait's six‑pillar education reform led by Minister Jalal Al‑Tabtabaei has now reached 60% completion, according to public statements. This national strategy includes administrative efficiency, curriculum standards, teacher licensing, smart school infrastructure, and digital ministry services, all aligned with Kuwait Vision 2035. Reform pillars and curricular transformation Administrative & Financial Reform Kuwait aims to reduce financial inefficiencies and reallocate budget resources toward educational development, guided by a new ministry structure approved in July 2025. The reorganization consolidates leadership roles, enhances sector coordination, and establishes performance audit systems. Curriculum & International Standards As per Kuwait Times, a full-scale overhaul of grades 1–9 curricula was approved for 2025–2026. About 80% of middle-level subjects have been rewritten, with an integrated national values framework as per Arab Times. This builds on early standards-based reforms and incorporates AI, cybersecurity, and critical thinking. Education Development & Capacity Building The plan includes adopting global best practices from Finland and Singapore, initiating teacher licensing, enhancing gifted education programs, and building smart schools. The creation of a National Center for Training Educational Leaders is also underway. Engineering & Infrastructure Refurbishment of old schools and construction of new smart classrooms are central to infrastructure upgrades. Ten specialized field teams using the Balagh system prepare and audit school readiness. Ministry Automation & Digital Services A new Balagh IT platform enables real-time field reporting, coordination, and maintenance tracking. Audit units conduct surprise inspections to monitor compliance. This digital strategy directly supports governance transparency and operational efficiency. Innovation Initiatives Under this pillar, technological learning tools, digital classrooms, and programming projects are being implemented to modernize pedagogy and promote student engagement. OECD partnership & international alignment Kuwait is finalising a collaboration with the OECD, as announced in March 2025. This framework supports curriculum benchmarking in mathematics, science, and English, plus integration into the PISA 2029 programme, teacher licensure testing, and educational accreditation systems. Minister Al‑Tabtabaei has mandated specialized teams collaborate with international experts, ensuring Kuwait's educational reforms match global quality standards by the end of the decade. Policy context & vision alignment This reform sits within Kuwait Vision 2035, which promotes government accountability, economic diversification, and globally competitive public services. By improving educational quality, Kuwait aims to foster a generation equipped for future global challenges. Earlier reforms backed by the World Bank (2010–2019) laid foundations for competence-based curricula, school autonomy pilots, and institutional accountability, all now scaled up in the current reform phase. Why it matters Education sector reform addresses longstanding issues such as limited secondary graduation rates, over-reliance on rote-learning, and weak alignment with labor-market needs. By integrating international standards and strengthening teacher capacity, Kuwait positions education as a pivotal tool for social and economic transformation. Kuwait's education reform strategy marks one of the most ambitious overhauls in the country's recent history. With 60% of the plan already executed, the transformation is more than cosmetic, it reflects a structural shift in how the nation views learning, governance, and future-readiness. By embracing international partnerships like the OECD, digitizing core ministry functions, and modernizing both curricula and infrastructure, Kuwait is not only addressing decades-old challenges but also setting a new benchmark for Gulf educational systems. However, sustaining this momentum will require more than policy announcements. Successful reform hinges on consistent funding, transparent implementation, measurable performance outcomes, and strong collaboration with educators on the ground. Moreover, the inclusion of 21st-century skills, digital literacy, and global benchmarks is a long-term investment, one whose impact will be seen not just in classrooms, but in the overall social and economic resilience of the country.

'If Pakistan Commits Another Sin...': PM Modi's 'BrahMos' Warning At Varanasi Rally
PM Modi Dedicates Op Sindoor's Success to Lord Mahadev, Slams Cong-SP for Defending Terrorists Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dedicated the success of Operation Sindoor, India's precision retaliation against Pakistan-based terror hubs, to Lord Mahadev, in a powerful declaration of justice and vengeance. Speaking in Varanasi, his first visit after the attack, Modi recalled the Pahalgam massacre, where 26 civilians, including women and children, were brutally killed by The Resistance Front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba. Modi said he had taken a vow to avenge the spilled "sindoor" of India's daughters, and Operation Sindoor, followed by Operation Mahadev, was that sacred retribution. Modi also launched a blistering attack on the Congress and Samajwadi Party, accusing them of sympathising with Pakistan and questioning the bravery of India's security forces. Addressing a public rally, PM Modi took a dig at Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav by saying, 'Pakistan is crying, and so is Congress and SP. They are hurt by the death of terrorists in Operation Sindoor.'#operationsindoor, #mahadev, #modiinvaranasi, #terrorattack, #trf, #lashkaretaiba, #pahalgamattack, #indianarmy, #modispeech, #kashmirterror, #modivsterror, #retaliationstrike, #modiinuttarpradesh, #modiinpahalgam, #sindoorrevenge, #modiblessing, #kashmirsurgicalstrike, #pakistancries, #congressappeasement, #modivscongress, #rahulgandhi, #akhileshyadav, #samajwadiparty, #india, #breakingnews, #trending, #bharat, #toi, #toibharat, #indianews 5.0K views | 1 hour ago
