Class VIII student jumps from third floor of MP's Ratlam school, fearing action over mobile phone
Bhopal: A national-level teen skater and Class VIII student, Rishan Katara, jumped from the third floor of his school building in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, moments after his father was called in to discuss the issue of the boy bringing and using a mobile phone on the campus on Friday.

Massive Privilege For Current South African Team To Go Up Against Virat And Rohit: Steyn
South African: On the eve of the first ODI between India and South Africa, former Proteas pacer Dale Steyn praised the impact of senior Indian stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, calling their presence both a significant challenge and a privilege for the visiting side. Speaking ahead of the series opener, Steyn highlighted not only the players experience but also the enormous fan energy they bring with them, something he believes significantly influences the contest. They bring a ton of experience. I think the other thing is they bring a massive crowd and fan following, which is always one of the biggest things that you're playing against when you come to India. Recently, when the ladies were playing in the final, the Women's World Cup final against India, the Proteas women felt like they weren't just playing against 11, they were playing against an entire nation. Referring specifically to the aura of Indias senior-most batting icons, the former Protea quick added, And that's obviously the same case when somebody like Virat and Rohit are part of the Indian men's team. They just bring so much more to them. So when you're out in the middle, you really feel the heat. Steyn, regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers of his generation, said that facing stalwarts like Kohli and Rohit is a valuable opportunity for the current South African side.

'Do Bhai, Dono Tabahi': India Awaits Ro-Kos Explosive Return To ODI Action
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: As India prepare to face South Africa in the first ODI of the three-match series in Ranchi on Sunday, all eyes are firmly fixed on two of the biggest names in world cricket Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The iconic duo, fondly referred to by fans as Do Bhai, Dono Tabahi, are set to return to international action, igniting excitement across the nation. Rohit and Virat, who remain towering figures in the cricketing world, were last seen in action during Indias tour of Australia. However, their performances did not quite match expectations on that occasion. Now, with conditions favourable and with both having a point to prove, fans are eager to see their bats do the talking once again. This ODI series carries added significance following Indias recent Test series defeat against South Africa. A strong performance in the 50-over format could go a long way in lifting the spirits of supporters and restoring momentum for the Men in Blue. Notably, both Rohit and Kohli have stepped away from Test and T20I cricket, announcing their retirement from the two formats earlier this year. However, the veteran pair expressed their desire to continue representing India in ODIs, and the selectors have backed them fully by including them in the squad for this crucial series.

Former England football captain and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Sir David Beckham visited an MJPAPBCWREIS residential school for girls in Visakhapatnam today to see Project-Based Learning (PBL) in action. His visit is part of a wider Mantra4Change programme supported by Education Above All that is improving classrooms across Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and Nagaland. Sir David Beckham with students ofMJPAPBCWREIS residential school inVisakhapatnam Sir Davids visit, confirmed in a social media update posted late on Wednesday night, brought national attention to a hands-on approach to schooling that places student projects, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving at the centre of learning. Mantra4Change, in partnership with the MJP Society and supported by Education Above All (EAA), has redesigned teaching and learning in 107 residential schools across Andhra Pradesh, reaching roughly 18,000 students and building the capacity of 107 school leaders. The PBL programme has been integrated across English, Mathematics, and Science, turning traditional classrooms into active learning spaces where students learn by doing, collaborate on projects, and present solutions to community problems. On the ground in Visakhapatnam During his visit, Sir David met with students and teachers at the school, observing how Project-Based Learning comes alive in everyday classrooms. He began by sitting in on a live PBL session before being guided by students to a small exhibition where children presented projects across English, Mathematics, and Science. He also joined a group of students for a tree-planting activity, where children demonstrated how they scan and label saplings with digital IDs. In the school library, Sir David participated in a reading circle and spoke with children about their favourite books. The visit concluded outdoors, where students invited him to join a lively one-touch football drill. School leaders shared how these varied activities reflect the PBL approach, boosting student confidence, encouraging collaboration, and helping children connect learning with real-life contexts. In his Instagram post, Sir David said, Great day in India going back to school supporting Education Above Alls project based learning initiatives so much fun . It gives us great joy that Sir David Beckham chose to visit one of our MJP schools. Its a proud moment for all of us in the MJP society. His presence at our school in a place like Kothavalasa is a beautiful reminder that when we work with the right intent and dedication, extraordinary things can happen. Project-based Learning has energised our classrooms, and we hope to keep nurturing this spirit of learning , said P. Madhavi Latha, Secretary, MJPAPBCWREIS. Project-Based Learning shifts the focus from rote recall to applied understanding. It builds transferable skills, communication, critical thinking, creativity, while lifting measurable academic outcomes. The Mantra4Change-EAA partnership is an example of how targeted support, teacher development and curriculum redesign can scale classroom practices across states. Santosh More, Co-Founder of Mantra4Change , said, Sir David Beckhams visit is an inspiration for all of us and a powerful signal that innovation in our government schools matters. Project-Based Learning is raising childrens aspirations, and moments like this strengthen our resolve to work with governments and communities to make such learning the norm . The visit also adds fresh momentum to Shikshagraha, a people-powered national movement being co-built by Mantra4Change that is working to improve one million public schools across India. Sir Davids presence and public endorsement of innovative classroom practices like Project-Based Learning strengthens the movements core message: that communities, teachers, governments and civil society must come together to transform everyday schooling. The visibility generated by this visit helps amplify Shikshagrahas call for collective action and accelerates its efforts to ensure every child in a public school has access to meaningful, engaging and future-ready learning. About Mantra4Change Mantra4Change is a non-profit organisation transforming public schools in India through educational leadership. Our approach involves driving continuous school improvements by empowering education leaders, transforming schools to create an enriching learning experience, and inspiring civil society organisations across India to collectively work towards transformation in education. We aim to drive sustainable, continuous school improvements across 150,000 schools by 2025.
Jonassen Pulls Out Of WPL Auction Due To Injury, Other Left-arm Spinners In Sharp Focus
Mannat Kashyap Shuchi Upadhayay: Hours ahead of the 2026 Womens Premier League (WPL) mega auction, Australias left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Jess Jonassen has been ruled out from the player pool owing to an injury. Sources familiar with the matter told IANS on Thursday that Jesss unavailability was formally communicated to all five franchises during the mandatory pre-auction briefing on Wednesday. Jess had been a part of Delhi Capitals (DC) in the first three WPL seasons, where they finished as runners-up on all occasions. Though Jess is turning out for Brisbane Heat in the ongoing Womens Big Bash League (WBBL), it is understood that a shoulder issue she has been managing for an extended period is the reason behind her unavailability for the WPL auction and subsequent season. A few teams were keen on getting her in the auction due to Sophie Molineux not registering, but now that strategy has been changed and back up plans being discussed due to her unavailability being told a day prior. It wont come as a surprise if the other left-arm spinners, especially in the Indian players pool, will have more takers for them or their eventual price sees an increase in the mega auction, said sources. Other prominent left-arm spin bowling options who are also handy all-rounders are Englands Sophie Ecclestone, South Africas Chloe Tryon, as well as Indias N Sree Charani, Radha Yadav, Tanuja Kanwer, and are followed by youngsters like Parunika Sisodia, Bharti Rawal, Vaishavi Sharma, Ayushee Shukla, Mannat Kashyap Shuchi Upadhayay and Triveni Vasistha. It is also understood that in the pre-auction briefing, all five franchises were told that India opener Pratika Rawal, wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia and uncapped seamer VJ Joshitha are nursing injuries, though their names remain in the auction pool. Pratika is recovering from an ankle injury sustained in the World Cup league game against Bangladesh in Navi Mumbai, while Yastika had to undergo an ACL surgery after being ruled out of the World Cup due to injuring her left knee in the pre-tournament camp in Visakhapatnam. It is also understood that the injured trio cannot be counted towards the mandatory 15-member squad (though 18 is the maximum squad strength for the competition), and if they are picked, teams cannot get a replacement for them. Pratika is recovering from an ankle injury sustained in the World Cup league game against Bangladesh in Navi Mumbai, while Yastika had to undergo an ACL surgery after being ruled out of the World Cup due to injuring her left knee in the pre-tournament camp in Visakhapatnam.
