Coconut vendor's daughter represents India in Tokyo Expo
Gadag: Rakshita Churchihal, a Class 10 student from the govt high school in Shingatalur, Gadag district, was selected to participate in an international science exhibition in Tokyo. Moved by an incident where a hot vessel injured a schoolgirl, she developed a hot vessel carrier model, which was noticed at a national exhibition in April. Her parents, Andanashetti and Iravva, sell coconuts at Guddad Veerabhadreshwar temple. Rakshita told TOI that she pursued her primary education at a local govt primary school. "As I read many reports of hot dishes falling on school students, I was thinking of a solution and discussed it with our science teacher. As per his guidance, I prepared a blueprint and went to a local mechanic to make a device," she shared. Ravi Devaraddi, the science teacher, said that Rakshita was firm on her idea. "It was exhibited in the Inspire Manak awards, a flagship programme implemented by the Union govt to encourage talented students to study science and pursue research careers, implemented through the state govt. As it was selected in the taluk, district, and state-level exhibitions, it was selected for the national exhibition held in Sept 2024, from where it was selected for the Sakura Science High School Programme (SSHP) of the Japanese science and technology agency. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo As many as 54 high school students from India are invited for SSHP to be held from June 15-21," he stated.

Indonesia Monitors Regional COVID-19 Surge, Says Situation At Home Is Safe
By Mohd Iswandi Kasan Anuar JAKARTA, May 20 (Bernama) -- Indonesia's health ministry is closely watching a rise in COVID-19 cases in parts of Asia, including Singapore, Thailand, and Hong Kong, while assuring that the domestic situation remains under control. The increase comes amid rising public mobility, with many Indonesians travelling abroad for international events, including Lady Gaga's concert tour, which began on May 18. bootstrap slideshow Ministry spokesperson Aji Muhawarman said data up to the 19th week of 2025 shows that COVID-19 transmission in Indonesia remains within safe limits. 'Despite global trends, the situation at home is stable. We're enhancing disease monitoring through sentinel surveillance and screening at points of entry,' he said in a statement. According to Aji, Singapore has seen a spike in cases, attributed to seasonal patterns, with the dominant JN.1 subvariant not linked to more severe illness. While Indonesia has not implemented stricter border controls, international entry point surveillance has been strengthened using the SatuSehat Health Pass (SSHP) system. There are no travel bans, but the ministry advises caution, especially when visiting countries with rising infections. 'Travellers should follow local protocols, stay updated, and postpone non-essential travel if unwell,' he said.
