. The grand Faculty Development Masterclass titled 'Dare to Impact' was successfully organised at Shri Ramlal Memorial Auditorium of Lucknow Public College, Vinamra Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow branch. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from educators of all the branches of Lucknow Public Schools and Colleges , Lucknow Public College of Professional Studies, Lucknow Public College of Pharmacy, along with management members. The session was inaugurated by Founder & Chairman and Member of Parliament, Dr. S.P. Singh, who delivered an inspiring address emphasizing that teachers are the foundation of society. He stated that the purpose of education is not merely to impart knowledge but to nurture personality and instill life values. Stressing on the New Education Policy (NEP) and the National Curriculum Framework, Dr. Singh urged teachers to adopt innovative teaching methodologies to align with evolving educational standards. Prominent speakers graced the masterclass: K.S. Upadhyay, Additional Director of Education, led an insightful session on the NEP, focusing on competency-based assessment, child-centric learning, and inquiry-based pedagogy. He encouraged teachers to ignite curiosity in students and to make learning deeply connected with real-life experiences. . Dr. Singh emphasised learning by doing and learning for the sake of life .It is written in the Bhagavad Geeta : " In this world there is no purifier as great as knowledge; the one who has attained purity of heart through prolonged practice of Karma, Yoga , automatically sees the light of truth in the self in course of time." . Another aspect of learning is that a learner has to be intelligent. And for making a learner intelligent a teacher is also required to be intelligent. It does not mean that a teacher is not intelligent but to have the feel about the relevant things required for a particular span of time, and an intelligent student adapts himself to the desired goals in the practices required to attain it. Intelligence is the capacity of rationality that makes one create rational. If it is the time to learn the things, the learner must know what to learn, why to learn, and how to learn. The best part of learning is learning by doing. The more we practice, the more we move towards perfection. Students need to be shaped by real-world environments which are good for their individual wellness. This ability is to be harnessed by using reasoning, problem solving and emotional knowledge. In fact, intelligence is the ability that makes us realize the way to sharpen sensibility. The world is full of so many knowledgeable things, but incapable minds don't attain it. Capacity building is a major thing that ought to be developed. The rate of Intelligence varies from person to person. Many times we come across sudden problems that arise due to adverse conditions or negative people but we are not supposed to be interrupted or damaged by them, but such conditions will give you the way how to come out of it, If you practice to handle the situation with care. Always think of the relevant things. Discuss with the relevant people and find the relevant solutions. Bobby D'Souza, renowned motivational speaker, energised the gathering with his vibrant, motivational, and engaging presentation.

Police vehicles damaged, stones pelted as rape of 8-yr-old sparks protest in Udaipur village
In Udaipur, Rajasthan, the rape of an eight-year-old girl sparked violent protests on Monday, with locals damaging police vehicles, pelting stones, vandalising buses, and blocking roads. Police arrested the accused on Monday morning after tracking him via CCTV footage, following his attempt to flee.(PTI file) Personnel from three police stations were deployed to control the escalating situation, according to The Indian Express report. The assault occurred on Sunday evening when the girl, who usually accompanies her mother to an agricultural field, went alone to a nearby field. The accused, Ramlal, allegedly took her to a bush and raped her. After returning home and informing her family, the girl was rushed to Maharana Bhupal government hospital. A case was registered at Dabok police station under the POCSO Act. Police arrested Ramlal on Monday morning after tracking him via CCTV footage, following his attempt to flee. However, enraged villagers gathered outside the police station, demanding action. Tensions escalated when a rumour spread that the girl had died during treatment. A police source was quoted as saying, 'This agitated the crowd, and they pelted stones at police personnel and set fire to around 10 police vehicles. The crowd got agitated and started vandalising buses passing through a nearby road and then blocked the road.' SP Yogesh Goyal and other officers arrived to manage the unrest. Additional SP Anjna Sukhwal confirmed that police conducted overnight raids to apprehend the accused. She added that some youths involved in the stone-pelting have been identified, and a case for obstructing public work has been filed against them. 6-yr-old girl raped, murdered by uncle in Dungarpur In a separate incident in Rajasthan's Dungarpur, a six-year-old girl was raped and murdered by her uncle on August 4, police reported. Aspur Deputy Superintendent of Police, Hanuwant Singh Bhati, stated on August 5, 'The incident happened in the district's Nithuwa police station. The victim's body was found near a pond following which police started an investigation that revealed that she was raped by her uncle before the murder. We have also detained the accused on August 5.' According to authorities, the girl had gone to a nearby location to study on Monday morning and subsequently went missing. Bhati explained, 'She was later found dead near a pond a few hours later by her parents. She was immediately rushed to the hospital where it was revealed that she was also raped before the murder.' A forensics team was dispatched to examine the scene, and police from Nithuwa, Aspur, Sagwara, and Dungarpur stations were deployed in the area.

‘You are misleading the court': Magistrate Ramlal slams State as blue lights fraud trial collapses again
At the heart of the confusion is accused number three, whose role in the case has changed without explanation. He was initially said to have confessed, but no written confession was ever filed. He was then removed from the charge sheet and quietly reclassified as a potential State witness, raising serious concerns about coercion and procedural misconduct. Image: Supplied The long-running tax fraud trial linked to the SAPS 'blue lights' scandal fell into fresh disarray on Thursday at Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court, with Magistrate Ashika Ramlal sharply criticising the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and accusing the State of misleading the court. At the heart of the confusion is accused number three, whose role in the case has changed without explanation. He was initially said to have confessed, but no written confession was ever filed. He was then removed from the charge sheet and quietly reclassified as a potential State witness, raising serious concerns about coercion and procedural misconduct. Things worsened on Thursday when accused number nine, Thomas Marima, arrived in court late and without proper legal representation. Marima only met his lawyer for the first time during the court break. Magistrate Ramlal was visibly frustrated, accusing the State of using Marima's lack of counsel as a tactic to delay the trial again. 'You are misleading the court if you say you are ready for trial,' Ramlal told lead prosecutor Richard Chabalala. 'This is why South Africans are losing trust in the NPA.' The magistrate concluded that the State may not be ready to proceed and issued a firm directive: by 1 July 2025, the State must ensure all accused persons are provided with a complete and accurate charge sheet and that they fully understand the charges against them. 'You were hoping to use number nine's lack of representation as a way to secure another postponement,' she added. Defence lawyer Piet du Plessis, representing former acting police commissioner Kgomotso Phahlane, was equally critical earlier in the week. 'It's 2025, and the State still doesn't have a valid charge sheet for a case that began in 2018,' he said. 'After 40 minutes, the prosecutor couldn't produce a single legally sound version.' The original charge sheet — dating back to 2021 — was signed by Herman Cronje, who left the NPA the same year. That version listed James Ramanjolam as accused number three. In the latest version, Ramanjolam is no longer included — yet his signature remains on some documentation. Du Plessis and other attorneys argue that altering a charge sheet prepared by a former official without submitting it to IDAC (Investigating Directorate Against Corruption) head Andrea Johnson for re-approval is procedurally improper and potentially fraudulent. These discrepancies have triggered calls for a formal investigation into the NPA's handling of the matter. When questioned in court, Prosecutor Chabalala admitted the errors were his responsibility, blaming 'oversights' in formatting and printing. Legal experts say such explanations fall short for a corruption case of this magnitude. Some accused individuals claim they were harassed or pressured to testify against others, raising additional concerns over fairness. Several have seen charges dropped and later reinstated, including Major General Ravi Pillay, former SAPS Head of Procurement. Businessman Vimpie Manthata and his company — listed as accused one and eight — have experienced the same back-and-forth. At the centre of the case is an alleged R19 million VAT fraud connected to Instrumentation for Traffic Law Enforcement, a company owned by Manthata. Bookkeeper Judy Rose is accused of facilitating the fraudulent claims, which form part of a broader R191 million SAPS procurement scandal involving emergency 'blue lights' equipment. The trial was expected to proceed this week, with SARS officials scheduled to testify. But the continued confusion over documents and legal representation brought proceedings to a halt once again.'This is just another example of a high-profile corruption case falling apart due to poor planning, weak prosecution, and basic legal missteps,' one legal observer commented. Magistrate Ramlal has now set 1 July as a non-negotiable deadline. 'All the accused must receive a complete charge sheet, and all must understand what they are being charged with—no more excuses,' she said. The matter is due back in court on 15 July 2025. But unless the State resolves its ongoing procedural failures, this already seven-year-old trial risks collapsing entirely.

Bus rams lorry on NH, 18 injured
At least 18 passengers were injured when a Hyderabad-bound private sleeper bus from Karnataka rammed into a stationary lorry on NH 167 in Narayanpet district in the early hours of Thursday. The bus, carrying 29 passengers from Shivamogga to Hyderabad, met with the accident around 4.30 a.m. The lorry had come to a halt in the middle of the highway due to a mechanical breakdown, and heavy overnight rain had further reduced visibility, explained Inspector Ramlal from Makthal police. 'Although highway patrol teams had placed reflective cones to alert oncoming traffic, the speeding bus failed to stop in time and ploughed straight into the vehicle,' he said. The impact left the front portion of the bus completely mangled. Four passengers suffered fractures, while five others, including three children, sustained spinal injuries. The bus driver's leg was also fractured and the co-driver was injured too. All the injured were given first aid at the government hospital in Makthal. Police have registered a case and an investigation is on.
