Over 700 students in districtwait for SCERT aptitude tests
Nashik: Over 700 students, who cleared their Std X and XII exams from Nashik district, are still waiting for aptitude tests to help them choose their careers, even as the admission process for higher studies starts. The tests, announced by State Centre for Education, Research and Training (SCERT) at the beginning of April, is yet to be conducted. The District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) were expected to be held before the results of the examinations were declared by the Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Examination. However, they are still awaited. More than 700 students have eagerly registered with the DIET for the tests under the watchful eyes of the SCERT so that they could take steps to seek admissions. According to Shivaji Auti, the district-level officer for DIET, a series of important works delayed the conduct of the examinations. "We had several important issues about the teachers and their training that needed to be addressed, which have slightly delayed the conduct of the tests. We are planning to conduct them in a few days," he said. "We've registered with the agency for conducting the aptitude test for our children so that they can seek admissions in the appropriate colleges. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Good News If You Owe Banks Over R75,000 Consumersave Click Here Undo The admission process for colleges has now started. Waiting for the tests will not help. We will have to decide for ourselves about our children's future," said Keshav Patil, one of the parents from Pimpalgaon. Similarly, another person questioned the delay in conducting the tests, which was good news for the people in general, given the authenticity of the tests. "I know children who were guided by the counsellors through the test conducted seven years ago. Fortunately, this year my child was in Std XII, and we thought it was a good opportunity. Since the tests have still not been completed, we had to take help from a private agency. Wonder why the govt agencies announce such things first and then back out quietly," questioned Bhaumik Das, a parent living in Nashik city. It may be noted that the tests in some other districts have been conducted.

NMC to demolish six wadas to pave way for Ram Kal Path
Nashik: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has decided to raze six dangerous wadas along the Ram Kal Path — designed from Seeta Gumpha near Kala Ram Mandir to Ram Kunda in the Panchavati area. The civic body aims to complete this project, which is part of a centrally funded religious tourism initiative , to deliver a heritage look to the 1.3-km-long walkway with a forest-themed surroundings. Considering the design, there is a need to remove some structures along the road to ensure it is wide enough to accommodate the footfall of pilgrims, especially during the Simhastha Kumbh Mela to be held during 2026-28. "As part of the preparations, the NMC has decided to remove the dangerous structures that could likely cause problems. Hence, these six wadas have been marked as dangerous, and the residents are being relocated,"a senior civic official said. The structures that are to be removed are Inamdar Wada, Kelkar Wada, part of More Wada, Tulshidas Dharamshala, and two others. "The work must begin at the earliest as the project is being monitored by central govt. We may face some opposition from the locals, but the administration is taking them into confidence. The administration will have to appropriately compensate them and that is also under positive consideration," the official added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ecuatoriano: descubre cómo ganar más con Amazon CFD.

The NMC will seek Rs50 crore from the state tourism department. The project aims to develop the entire zone in a way that people walking through will experience the era of Lord Ram. Keshav Patil, one of the affected residents who have been notified by the civic body, said that he would not move out of the wada. "We live in the heart of the city. We do not have money to buy property here. Where will my family members and I go? Govt compensation is not enough to relocate as it does not match the market rates of the property. I along with others will meet the NMC commissioner to discuss the steps being taken unilaterally," he said.
