The Times of India travels across five districts of RajasthanKota, Jaipur, Barmer, Jaisalmer, and Jhalawar to expose the shocking state of government schooling. While cities like Kota are famous for elite coaching hubs, thousands of local children are forced to study under tin sheds, inside huts, or under trees. With over 600 schools lacking buildings, 1.5 lakh teacher posts lying vacant, and tragic infrastructure failures costing lives, students are asking a fundamental question: without a classroom, water, or a teacher, what exactly is a school? Watch the ground reality of Rajasthan's education crisis.

India's SpaceX Reloading After Historic Debut: Skyroot Sends Second Vikram-1 Stage To Sriharikota

Just over five weeks after making Indian space history, Skyroot Aerospace is going again. The first stage of its second Vikram-1 rocket is already heading to Sriharikota, where it will undergo integration, testing and final launch preparations. On July 18, Vikram-1 became the first privately developed Indian orbital rocket to successfully reach orbit from Indian soiland succeeded on its maiden attempt. It deployed SCOPE and Grahaa into Low Earth Orbit, putting Skyroot among a tiny group of private launch companies globally to achieve orbital flight. Now comes the harder test: repetition. Skyroot wants its Hyderabad manufacturing facilities eventually producing one orbital rocket every month. A successful second flight would show customers that Mission Aagaman was not merely historyit could become a reliable commercial launch service. India has proved private industry can reach orbit.

ISRO, private industry writing India's next space chapter: Jitendra Singh

New Delhi, Aug 24: The BJP on Monday hit back at Congress over its charge that the Modi government is pursuing an aggressive privatisation agenda in the space sector, asserting that the expansion of private participation is enabling ISRO to focus on frontier missions while industry scales up manufacturing and launch capabilities. The remarks came after Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh accused the government of strangulating and emasculating the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and pursuing an aggressive privatisation agenda for the space programme just as it has for nuclear energy. Ramesh claimed recent reports about ISRO's future role in India's space programme raised legitimate concerns, given the capabilities built by the organisation over six decades. MoS (Space) Jitendra Singh rejected Ramesh's criticism, saying India's space programme is ot being scaled back, but being scaled up, with ISRO focusing increasingly on frontier missions such as Gaganyaan, Chandrayaan-4 and the Bharatiya Antariksh Station, as well as future missions to the Moon, Venus and Mars. Under PM Narendra Modi, India's space sector has taken a global trajectory by expanding from a predominantly government-led programme into a wholesome ecosystem integrating ISRO, industry and space startups. India's space programme is not being scaled back. It is being scaled up, he said in a post on X. At the same time, as India moves towards an ambition of 50 launches a year, industry has to become the manufacturer at scale, while ISRO develops the next generation of technologies and missions. This is the natural evolution of India's space programme, Singh added. He accused Ramesh of unning down Indian achievements and casting doubt on every step forward. Citing the growth of the space sector and the emergence of private players, Singh said the number of foreign satellites launched by ISRO has risen from 35 before 2014 to 430 today, while the number of space startups has grown to around 440 from just a handful in 2014. He cited Skyroot Aerospace's Vikram-1 reaching orbit on July 18 this year as the first privately developed Indian rocket to do so. If India is to build a USD 44-billion space economy, we need many things happening simultaneously: ISRO research in the frontier technologies, private rocket factories, satellite manufacturing facilities, dedicated assembly, integration and testing infrastructure, commercially operated launch facilities, and a much deeper supply chain, Singh said. He noted that Sriharikota will remain at the heart of ISRO's major launch programmes, including PSLV, LVM3 and human spaceflight, while Kulasekarapattinam will add capacity for the growing small-launch sector. That is not ISRO versus industry. The model is ISRO and industry together. Together, they are writing the next chapter of India's space story, Singh said. BJP national spokesperson and national media co-in-charge Pradeep Bhandari also defended the government's space sector reforms, saying the opening up of the sector has enabled private companies and startups to move from being suppliers to developers of rockets, satellites and complete space systems. From a largely government-driven programme to an emerging national space ecosystem. That is not the weakening of ISRO's legacy. It is the expansion of India's space ambition, Bhandari said in a post on X. He said private investment in the sector had risen from USD 100.5 million in 2021-22 to USD 618.5 million by March 2026, while NewSpace India Limited's revenue had increased from Rs 321.77 crore in 2021-22 to around Rs 3,000 crore in 2024-25. Bhandari cited Chandrayaan-3's soft landing near the Moon's south polar region and the development of LVM3 and SSLV as milestones in India's space programme. ISRO gave India a formidable technological foundation over decades. The Modi government's reforms have sought to build on that legacy by enabling ISRO, private industry, startups and investment to grow together, he said. Jairam ji, I understand your frustration with India's remarkable journey in space. But the numbers tell a story that is difficult to ignore, Bhandari said.

Apple Wallet Driver

In select U.S. states, residents can add their driver's license or state ID to the Apple Wallet app on the iPhone and Apple Watch, and then use it to display proof of identity or age at select airports and businesses, and in select apps. According to a new report and evidence within Apple's code, the feature is set to expand to four more states. A few days ago, North Carolina's DMV announced that it plans to launch a mobile ID program later this year. As reported by WRAL , North Carolina residents will be able to set up a digital ID through a new NC Wallet app starting in December, with Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Samsung Wallet support to follow in early 2027. Given that Apple Wallet IDs are not accepted by law enforcement and at many businesses, carrying a physical ID is still highly recommended. Your mobile ID is a valid form of identification in North Carolina, the DMV said, in a FAQ on its website. However, as retailers, restaurants and other businesses transition to mobile IDs, some may not be set up to accept them right away. For now, carrying your physical card gives you a backup when needed. According to code seen by MacRumors , Apple Wallet IDs are also coming to Oklahoma, Utah, and Virginia, but there is no timeframe for availability. All in all, Apple Wallet IDs are coming to these four states: North Carolina Oklahoma Utah Virginia The following 14 states already offer Apple Wallet IDs: Arizona (since March 2022 ) Maryland (since May 2022 ) Colorado (since November 2022 ) Georgia (since May 2023 ) Ohio (since July 2024 ) Hawaii (since August 2024 ) California (since September 2024 ) Iowa (since October 2024 ) New Mexico (since December 2024 ) Montana (since August 2025 ) North Dakota (since September 2025 ) West Virginia (since October 2025 ) Illinois (since November 2025 ) Arkansas (since May 2026 ) The feature is also available in Puerto Rico . Apple Wallet IDs are accepted at TSA checkpoints in more than 250 airports in the U.S. for domestic travel, and North Carolina's DMV said this will include Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Travelers should refer to TSA signage to confirm availability of the feature. To set up the feature, open the Wallet app on the iPhone and tap on the plus sign in the top-right corner. Next, tap on Driver's License and ID Cards, select your state from the list, and follow the on-screen steps to complete the process.

Modi ji, look at what your NTA has just done: Rahul Gandhi targets Govt as NTA announces re-exam of UGC-NET

New Delhi , August 17 : Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday criticised the National Testing Agency (NTA) over its decision to re-conduct the UGC-NET examinations for English, Commerce and Sociology, targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and saying, Modi ji, look at what your NTA has just done. He said that the agency had set faulty papers and repeated old questions, forcing thousands of candidates to appear for the examinations again in September. In a post on X, Gandhi said, UGC-NET exams for Sociology, English and Commerce were held between 22 and 30 June. Nearly two months later, NTA has cancelled all three because it set faulty papers and repeated old questions. He said thousands of candidates who had prepared for the exams would now have to repeat the process. Thousands of candidates who prepared for years, filled forms, paid the fees, travelled to distant centres, must now do it all again in September. NTA makes the mistake but the student serves the sentence, Gandhi said. The Congress leader alleged that the examination system had become an extraction machine, claiming that it takes students' money, years, mental health and confidence without providing adequate returns. I said this in Kota, in Dehradun, in Prayagraj, and I will keep saying it - this is no longer an education system. It is an extraction machine. It takes your money, your years, your mental health, and your confidence and returns nothing. Not even a job, he said. NTA still won't answer the real question - were these papers leaked before the exam? Just like every other arm of the Modi government, NTA never says it's their fault. Just like every other compromised paper, I am absolutely sure there will be no accountability, he said. He also demanded accountability from the NTA leadership, saying, Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation was the first step, not the last. NTA's leadership must be held accountable too. To every student sitting this exam again in September - you are not the problem. PM Modi built a system that cannot run an exam and then blames the students who take it. Your years are being stolen and we will not stop until PM Modi answers for it, he added. Congress RS MP also raised questions on the NTA's functioning after the Re-exam was announced. Nearly two months after the UGC NET June 2026 exam, the NTA itself admitted that the question papers for English, Commerce, and Sociology contained factual, typographical, and translation errors...Now, the exams for these three subjects will be held again on September 9 and 10. Our question is: Why should the country's students bear the punishment for NTA's mistakes? Does it really take nearly two months to detect such serious errors?...The government must explain why the results for thousands of candidates who have already taken the exams in 84 other subjects are delayed. For the young people who took the exam in June, every day matters... Will the Prime Minister, who scolds the country's youth from the ramparts of the Red Fort, say anything about his own responsibility? The youth of the country demands answers, he said. According to the NTA, it received several complaints about multiple errors in the English, Commerce and Sociology question papers. The agency said it formed a committee to examine the errors and, based on its recommendations, decided to re-conduct the examinations to ensure a fair and error-free examination. The re-examination for English and Commerce will be held on September 9, while Sociology will be conducted on September 10. NTA said candidates will not be charged any additional fee, while results for the remaining 84 subjects will be declared as scheduled and seat allocation will not be reduced.
