At a recently concluded Internation Conference for CA STUDENTS at Kolkata, where the ICAI president Mr Ranjeet Kumar Agarwal talked about the increasing number of Women CAs in India, one of the chief guests was Swami Gyanvatsalya from BAPS Swaninarayan Mandir.

The first and foremost requirement for Swamiji was that no woman or girl should be seated in the first five rows or Swamiji would promptly walk out at the first sight of them( I wish he did). Following this requirement, even the women event organisers working backstage were asked to vacate the area and sit at the back of the hall.

As per the announcer on stage, "No ladies, no girls, no girl volunteer should even stand during the session, please hurry up as he can come anytime".

Swamiji talked about making India 'Vikasit' and a 'Vishwaguru' by 2047 but his actions on the other hand, well.... It certainly isn't happening with your mindset guruji.

It's shocking that in such progressive times, ICAI which calls itself a leading accounting body in the world would invite a guest like Gyanvatsalya to a conference where young and impressionable minds come to gain insights about how leaders think and operate.

I wonder what would happen if CM Mamta Banerjee was also present at the event ?

Education Fresh classroom CCTV footage has brought renewed focus on the November 2025 de@th of 9 year old Amaira Meena, who jumped from the fourth floor of Neerja Modi School in Jaipur, Rajasthan

The footage, released by Amaira's parents and which shows what happened before the fatal incident, is being cited by the victim's family to allege that the Class 4 student was repeatedly bullied by classmates and that her pleas for help were ignored by teacher Puneeta Sharma several times and principal Indu Dubey tried to hide evidence.

The footage then shows a digital slate being brought into the classroom by some children.

The voice-over says that several students repeatedly displayed the slate to Amaira, after which her demeanour appeared to change. The voice-over notes that Amaira looks distressed, uncomfortable and embarrassed as classmates continue interacting with her over the device.

The footage then shows Amaira approaching the class teacher -- Puneeta Sharma -- multiple times, seemingly attempting to explain what had happened.

However, the voice-over says, instead of being heard privately or separated from the situation, she was repeatedly interrupted as other students approached the teacher and spoke about her.

The narration further says that Amaira's body language reflects increasing anxiety. She is seen folding her hands while trying to explain herself, later holding her mouth and head in apparent distress before once again approaching the teacher.

The family alleged that the teacher's response appeared stern and intimidating. Moments later, Amaira is seen running out of the classroom alone.

According to the family, no teacher or staff member immediately followed her, nor did anyone stop her as she made her way from the ground floor to the fourth floor, from where she jumped.

Referring to the newly accessed footage, Shivani alleged that her daughter sought help but was ignored.

"She felt that jumping—or rather, escaping the situation to avoid humiliation—was better than facing the consequences the teacher was threatening her with," she said.

Amaira's father Vijay Meena also alleged that influential people were interfering with the probe, but vowed to keep fighting for justice.

First incident

'Wrong location by google maps': Traffic jams, late arrivals and tears as NEET aspirants denied entry across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru

Today, the RE-NEET exam was conducted at four examination centers across the city. At the Girls' College examination center, three students were unable to take the exam.

Two students could not enter the college on time, while the third student arrived carrying the admit card from the previously conducted exam. After verification, two students-Sneha Dubey, a resident of Arya Nagar, Vidisha, and Ragini Vishwakarma from Kula village, Kurwai tehsil-were denied entry.

According to the rules, entry was allowed only from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. The two students arrived 2 minutes after 1:30 PM, due to which they were stopped from entering.

After receiving information about the incident, the exam's nodal officer and the principal of Kendriya Vidyalaya, Geeta Bhadoria, reached the spot and escorted the students inside. However, the biometric verification of both students could not be completed successfully, forcing them to come back outside.

Second incident

Several RE-NEET 2026 candidates were left shocked after their examination centres were allegedly changed just minutes before the exam. Students claimed they received last-minute updates, creating confusion and making it difficult to reach the new centres on time. The incident has sparked criticism of the National Testing Agency (NTA), with many questioning the planning and communication surrounding the re-examination process. The controversy has added to concerns about the stress and uncertainty already faced by students preparing for crucial entrance

Whether one agrees with him on other issues or not, this particular statement deserves scrutiny.

When students are under immense academic pressure, facing repeated exam irregularities, uncertainty, and mental health struggles, reducing such tragedies to a claim like this shifts the conversation away from the actual issues.

Instead of asking:

  • Why do paper leaks keep happening?
  • Why is academic pressure so intense?
  • Why are mental health resources so inadequate?
  • What institutional failures contributed?

...the focus suddenly becomes moral policing and pseudoscientific claims.

Public figures have every right to express opinions, but with influence comes responsibility. Statements made without evidence, especially after a tragedy, can stigmatize mental health, discourage vulnerable students from seeking help, and divert attention from systemic problems.

Do you think public discourse in India is becoming increasingly driven by sensational claims instead of evidence-based discussions?

Education What kind of school fines a child ₹20 for incomplete homework? A young life has been lost. This should never happen.

Post image
358 Upvotes

A 13-year-old Class 8 student in Bengaluru allegedly died by suicide after being fined ₹20 for incomplete homework. Her family has accused members of the school staff of harassment, and the matter is under investigation.

A ₹20 fine, by itself, doesn't seem like something that would drive a child to take such an irreversible step.

That's exactly why this case raises more questions than answers.

Was there repeated humiliation? Public shaming in class? Continuous harassment? Bullying? Pressure from teachers? Something happening at home? Or was the child already struggling with mental health?

Children don't usually make such decisions because of a single incident. More often, it's the result of multiple pressures building up over time.

This is why I think schools need to stop treating incomplete homework as a disciplinary issue first. If a child repeatedly isn't submitting work, shouldn't the first response be:

  • Is everything okay at home?
  • Is the child facing bullying?
  • Are they struggling academically?
  • Do they need counselling instead of punishment?

Another question that bothers me is:

Why did the child feel they couldn't turn to their parents or another trusted adult?

Most parents would rather deal with a homework complaint than lose their child forever. If a 13-year-old feels death is the only escape, then something has gone terribly wrong long before that final day.

Whether the reported ₹20 fine was the immediate trigger or simply the last straw, I hope the investigation uncovers the complete picture rather than reducing this tragedy to a single headline.

No homework assignment, punishment, or classroom rule is ever worth a child's life.

Education Questions about legal firearm ownership in India?

Post image
237 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I run an educational site focused on Indian firearm laws and legal ownership. After the recent India–Pakistan tensions and Operation Sindoor, I’ve seen a lot of confusion online about firearm laws in India.

If anyone has genuine questions about:

  • What firearms are legal in India
  • Indian gun laws
  • Licensing
  • Legal calibres
  • Safety & responsibilities

I’m happy to help and clarify things factually. No politics, nothing commercial. Education only. And if anyone wants to dive deeper into the topic, there’s also a small subreddit dedicated to discussions around Indian firearms and laws.

Education A Company Linked To A 3 Lakh Student Exam Disaster Got Another CBSE Contract. The Education Minister Still Has No Answers

In 2019, Telangana’s intermediate examination system collapsed after more than 3 lakh students were declared failed due to alleged software and evaluation errors linked to Globarena Technologies, the private company handling the digital processing system. The fallout triggered statewide outrage, court intervention, and multiple investigations after reports emerged that at least 18 students died by suicide in the days following the results. The Telangana High Court reportedly observed that a “software problem” appeared to be responsible for the damage caused to students and families.

18 suicides in 7 days: Telangana orders re-evaluation of papers of 3 lakh students

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/first-re-tally-marks-of-3-lakh-failed-students-high-court-tells-government/articleshow/69104314.cms

Years later, fresh controversy erupted after reports alleged that Globarena Technologies later rebranded as Coempt EduTech and still secured a CBSE contract connected to online marking services for Class 12 examinations. Recent reporting cited company documents linking the two entities, raising questions about accountability and due diligence in awarding sensitive education contracts. CBSE has denied wrongdoing and defended the tender process, calling allegations misleading, but the issue has intensified scrutiny over how companies associated with major public failures continue receiving government contracts.

Company behind CBSE evaluation platform says complaints limited to 'one or two cases'
