Two visually impaired DPS Srinagar students shine in CBSE Class 10 exam
Two visually impaired students of Delhi Public School (DPS) Srinagar have secured outstanding marks in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) class 10 examinations, the results of which were declared last week. CBSE conducted the phase-I of class 10th exam from February 17 to March 11, 2026 while the phase-II will be tentatively conducted from May 15 to June 1, 2026. Zainab Bilal and Farees Rafiq, both the students of DPS scored an impressive 96 and 93 percent marks respectively, earning praise as the pride of their school and setting a new benchmark for students with special needs in the Valley. What makes their achievement even more significant is that both students wrote their examinations independently using computers, without the assistance of a scribe, a first-of-its-kind feat in J&K. Excited with their performance, both the students shared their experience during a candid conversation on Radio DPS schools in-house platform. The duo described their results as a mix of relief, joy and disbelief. We were actually nervous because we wrote our exams through computers. There were fears along with hope, Farees said during the interaction. Zainab highlighted the broader significance of their accomplishment and called it a big milestone in inclusive education that could inspire systemic change. We are the first visually impaired students in J&K to write exams independently without a scribe. This will impact inclusive education in general, she said. Farees further pointed out the sense of independence that comes with using technology over traditional methods. While a scribe is reliable, writing through a computer gives you full control. You are responsible for every word you write, he said. Both students credited their success to the strong support system at DPS Srinagar, particularly the Learning Resource Centre (LRC), teachers and school administration. They also acknowledged the unwavering encouragement from their families as well. The schools facilities and environment made this possible. Without DPS, achieving such a milestone would have been nearly impossible, Farees said. Farees and Zainab thanked the school staff and mentors who guided them. The duo expressed hope that their achievement would encourage others in the differently-abled community to strive for self-reliance and independence. They also called upon educational institutions to create inclusive spaces that support students with special needs. If DPS Srinagar can do it, every school in the Valley and the country can follow. All the schools should adopt similar practices, they said. Both the students concluded their conversation with a message of perseverance and emphasized consistency, hard work and belief in ones goals. Strive for your aims with dedication, and success will follow, they said.

LG Ladakh Vinai Kumar Saxena calls on Union Minister Nitin Gadkari
The Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Vinai Kumar Saxena, Tuesday called on the Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), Nitin Gadkari, in New Delhi to discuss key infrastructure projects aimed at strengthening road connectivity and boosting overall development in the Ladakh region. During the meeting, the Lieutenant Governor apprised the Union Minister of several critical projects that require intervention and early sanction from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Saxena discussed the progress of the Zoji-La Tunnel with the Union Minister, wherein Nitin Gadkari informed that the final breakthrough of the tunnel is expected by the end of May. Once completed, the tunnel will connect Ladakh with the rest of the country, marking a significant milestone towards ensuring all-weather connectivity to the region. Called on Honble Minister of Road, Transport & Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari ji, and discussed various road infrastructure projects in Ladakh - particularly the progress of Zoji La tunnel, upgradation of NH-3 in Leh city, construction of Leh Bypass and pending road projects under Central Road Infrastructure Fund LGs office posted on X. The Lieutenant Governor also highlighted the need for avalanche protection works along the Zoji-La Top stretch. Despite the completion of the tunnel, Saxena noted, this route will continue to be used for the movement of traffic, and hence, there was an urgent need for avalanche protection, as seven people lost their lives to an avalanche in the region in a recent incident. The Lieutenant Governor raised the issue of pending projects under the Central Road and Infrastructure Fund (CRIF), informing that road and bridge works amounting to Rs 1465.88 crore are awaiting approval. He emphasised that these projects are critical for improving connectivity, enhancing safety, and driving economic growth, particularly in remote and strategically important areas of Ladakh. Another key issue discussed was the upgradation of the NH-03 stretch from Leh to Sindhu Ghat. LG Saxena informed that while 5.20 km out of the total 10.08 km has already been upgraded to a four-lane road, the remaining 4.88 km continues as a double-lane stretch, resulting in traffic congestion. He requested early approval for the upgradation of the remaining stretch to ensure smooth and efficient traffic flow.

From margins to mainstream: how SMILE is changing lives across India
On a hot afternoon at a busy traffic signal in Delhi, cars slow down as the light turns red. A young boy taps on windows, an elderly man stretches out his hand, and a transgender person walks between vehicles asking for help. For most people waiting in their cars, this scene has become routine, seen, but rarely understood. But for the government, this street scene represents something deeper: a gap in opportunity, support, and dignity. It is this gap that the SMILE scheme is trying to bridge. Launched in February 2022 by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, SMILE (Support for Marginalised Individuals for Livelihood and Enterprise) is Indias first integrated programme designed to support two of the most vulnerable groups: transgender persons and beggars. The idea is simple but powerful: move people from the margins of society into the mainstream, reports PIB. The scale of the effort is significant. For the period 2021 to 2026, officials say that the government has allocated 390 crore for the scheme. As of March 2026, more than 31,000 individuals engaged in begging have been identified, and nearly 10,000 have already been rehabilitated. This shows that the scheme is not just on paper, but is working on the ground. At its core, SMILE works like a bridge. India already has many welfare schemes for health, education, housing, and jobs. But many marginalised people cannot access them due to lack of documents, awareness, or social support. SMILE connects them to these services while also addressing their immediate needs like shelter, counselling, and skill training. One of the key focus areas is support for the transgender community. Over the years, India has taken steps to recognise their rights, especially after the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019. Building on this, SMILE offers practical support, from scholarships for students to skill training and healthcare. A major step is the health cover provided under Ayushman Bharat TG Plus, which offers up to 5 lakh per year. This includes gender-affirming procedures, hormone therapy, and other medical care at approved hospitals. For many transgender persons, who often face discrimination in healthcare, this is a crucial support. Shelter is another important aspect. At present, 21 Garima Greh homes are running across 17 states, offering safe and respectful living spaces for transgender persons who may have been rejected by their families. These homes provide food, healthcare, and opportunities to learn skills and find work. At the same time, the scheme is also working to reduce begging through rehabilitation rather than punishment. The PIB press release suggests that in 181 cities, local teams are identifying people engaged in begging and offering them a chance to rebuild their lives. The process starts on the streets, with surveys and counselling. People are then moved to shelter homes where they receive food, safety, and care. From there, they are trained in various skills, such as tailoring, cooking, carpentry, and even driving e-rickshaws. They are also linked to banks and self-help groups, so they can start earning independently. Importantly, the support does not stop after training. The scheme follows up to ensure that individuals do not return to the streets. For those facing deeper challenges like addiction or old age, connections are made with de-addiction centres and old-age homes. Behind the numbers are real stories of change. People are moving from a life of uncertainty to one of stability and respect. What was once a daily struggle at traffic signals or street corners can become a pathway to regular income and social acceptance. SMILE reflects a broader shift in thinking. Instead of treating problems separately, it looks at the full picture, identity, health, education, and livelihood, and tries to address them together. The goal is not just to provide temporary relief, but to create long-term change. As the scheme expands, its impact is becoming more visible. The familiar street scenes may not disappear overnight, but slowly, they are beginning to change. For many, SMILE is not just a government programme; it is a second chance at life, with dignity and hope.
