NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah on Monday launched the revamped portal for overseas citizens of India (OCI), which will offer the existing 5 million OCI cardholders as well as fresh applicants, a user-friendly experience in accessing OCI services and facilitate their comfortable stay in India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a post on X, hailed the initiative, stating that 'with enhanced features and improved functionality, the new OCI portal marks a major step forward in boosting citizen-friendly digital governance'. Speaking at the launch event here, Shah said that India, led by PM Modi, is continuously striving to provide world-class immigration facilities to its OCI cardholders. The revamped OCI portal will have an updated user interface to simplify the registration process for OCIs, he said.

New cyber-security enhancements include multi-factor authorisation. The overseas citizen of India (OCI) scheme was introduced through an amendment to the Citizenship Act, 1955, in 2005. It provides for the registration of persons of Indian origin (PIOs) as OCI, provided they were citizens of India on or after January 26, 1950, or were eligible to become citizens on that date. However, individuals who are or had been or whose parent or grandparent or great grandparent citizens of Pakistan or Bangladesh are not eligible. The existing OCI Services portal was developed in 2013 and is currently operational in over 180 Indian missions abroad as well as 12 FRROs, processing approximately 2,000 applications per day.

Mangaluru: In a unique initiative to blend technology with environmental awareness , the Vanasiri Eco Club of Govt High School, Badaga Yekkar, tagged newly planted saplings and trees on campus with QR codes that provide detailed information about each plant. Headmistress Indira N Rao told TOI that the idea came from a directive by the education department encouraging schools to celebrate Earth Day meaningfully. "The department suggested using QR codes for saplings. Our mathematics teacher Ramya K developed the codes, with support from English teacher Anith Kumar," she said. Each QR code provides information such as the plant's scientific name, uses, importance, region of growth, and common name. "We also taught the students how QR codes are created. This helps them understand the relevance and importance of the plants better," the headmistress said. The school, which earlier lost its green cover to road widening, received 13 saplings donated by farmer and former teacher Ronald Fernandes. These were planted along the newly constructed compound wall, which was built with the support of Mulki-Moodbidri MLA Umanath Kotian. Class 10 students have now been given the responsibility of nurturing the saplings for a year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Taylor Swift Goes Natural, Here's How She Really Looks The Noodle Box Undo The school, which had 132 students last academic year, has so far seen 32 new enrolments in Class 8.

"PM Modi is giving a message for the future of India. The whole world appreciates his diplomatic decision on how to handle bitter incident that happened now, he said.
