India's Unsung Education Champions Get their Due: Shikshagraha Awards 2026 Opens Nominations to Honour Educators Transforming Public Schools

Shikshagraha Awards exist to change that, and the evidence shows it is working.    Nominations for the 3rd Shikshagraha Awards, instituted by SFPI, are open until July 31, 2026 Shikshagraha, the people-led movement to improve public schools across India, has announced that nominations for the 3rd edition of the Shikshagraha Awards, instituted by The Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiatives, are now open until July 31, 2026. The awards recognise educators, community leaders, and grassroots changemakers who are reshaping public education from the inside out. “ India's public education system is the single greatest lever we have for an equal society. For too long, the educators doing extraordinary work in the most difficult conditions have gone unrecognised. When we celebrate these leaders, we inspire a thousand more to step forward ,” SD Shibulal, Co-founder, Shibulal Family Philanthropic Initiative . Now in its third year, the awards have already proved that recognition is not symbolic; it is a catalyst. Past winners have used the financial support, credibility, and network that come with the award to scale their work in measurable ways. In Bihar, Kumari Guddi expanded her work beyond her school to create a community helpdesk, a scholarship fund, and a supply store for girls in neighbouring communities, now supporting 50 to 100 children across multiple schools.  In Andhra Pradesh, Nellore Subhrahmanyam used the award to fulfil a two-decade-old dream: a mobile science bus that has now reached nearly 50 rural schools, up from 20. His work was featured in the March 2026 edition of Samagra Shiksha, and a documentary team from Pune is set to film his journey.  In Madhya Pradesh, Muskan Ahirwar grew her community library Kitaabi Masti from 2,000 to 3,500 books and watched children begin showing up on their own, without being pushed. In Meghalaya, Batskhem Thabah saw media coverage of his award inspire teachers across the state to come forward with their own ideas. “ For nearly 20 years, I spent much of my own salary on this work. The award reassured my family and my community that this work was meaningful ,” Nellore Subhrahmanyam, Shikshagraha Award Winner, Andhra Pradesh . When we recognise these leaders, we are saying clearly that every child who walks out of a government school must walk out ready — with the foundations to learn, the confidence to lead, and the skills to navigate a world being reshaped by technology and climate ," Khushboo Awasthi, Co-Weaver of the Shikshagraha movement & Co-Founder of ShikshaLokam . Winners of the Shikshagraha Award receive financial support, national media coverage, access to a network of changemakers and civil society organisations, and the institutional credibility that opens doors to government departments, NGOs, and funders. The 2027 awards will be presented at InvokED, an annual global dialogue on education leadership where experts, educators, and changemakers come together to shape the movement towards education equity. The next InvokED is scheduled for February 26 & 27, 2027. Nominations are open to educators, school leaders, community volunteers, and anyone driving meaningful change within India's public education system, across all geographies, disciplines, and types of work. shikshagraha.org/awards . About Shikshagraha Shikshagraha is a people-powered movement to improve all 1 million public schools in India, so that every child experiences enriching learning and is ready for the future. Real change begins with the child at the centre — their learning, confidence, well-being, and aspirations, and with those closest to the child. The movement enables parents, women and youth to demand and support quality education, and equips teachers, school leaders, and officials with tools for micro-improvements towards systemic change. Currently, 35+ civil society, industry and philanthropic partners in the Shikshagraha network are collectively strengthening 1,17,000+ schools across 33 districts across 14 states & UTs. This includes enabling education leaders to lead need-based school improvements and amplifying women, youth and community participation in the public education system. Shikshagraha works towards improving schools where the need is greatest, supports leadership on the ground, and shifts the norms that hold education back. Through visible practice change and collective action by communities, governments, civil society, and markets, it reimagines what public schools can and must deliver.   shikshagraha.org for more details.

CS stresses strengthening AYUSH infrastructure, outreach and wellness tourism in J&K

SRINAGAR, JUNE 02: Chief Secretary, Atal Dulloo, today chaired the Governing Body Meeting of the J&K AYUSH Society under the National AYUSH Mission (NAM), during which the State Annual Action Plan (SAAP) 2026-27 was approved for onward submission to the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India. The meeting was attended by Additional Chief Secretary, Finance; Commissioner Secretary, Planning; Commissioner Secretary, Health and Medical Education; Managing Director, National Health Mission; Director, AYUSH; and other senior officers. Emphasizing the growing importance of AYUSH systems in preventive and holistic healthcare, the Chief Secretary called for the formulation of a robust wellness policy in collaboration with private stakeholders. He observed that wellness tourism has emerged as a major attraction across the country and holds immense potential for Jammu and Kashmir, given its globally acclaimed tourist destinations. Drawing examples from states such as Kerala, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, he stressed the need to position J&K as a prominent wellness and healthcare destination.The Chief Secretary directed the department to ensure the availability of services under major AYUSH Public Welfare Programmes in every Medical College and District Hospital across the UT. These include the National Programme for Prevention and Management of Osteoarthritis and other Musculoskeletal Disorders, National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS), AYUSH Maternal and Neo-natal Intervention, AYUSH Geriatric Healthcare Services, Healthy Lifestyle through AYUSH for School Children, AYUSH Palliative Services and AYUSH Mobile Medical Units. He stressed the need to substantially enhance outreach and coverage so that the benefits of these programmes reach the maximum number of people. Calling for stronger monitoring mechanisms, Dulloo exhorted upon the Director to undertake regular visits to AYUSH healthcare facilities and educational institutions to assess their functioning and ensure quality service delivery. He also directed the department to establish herbal gardens in government institutions and involve local Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in the processing and value addition of medicinal herbs to generate livelihood opportunities while promoting indigenous medicinal products. The Chief Secretary further stressed expediting faculty recruitment through designated recruiting agencies to strengthen the functioning of AYUSH colleges and educational institutions thereby improving the academic standards there. Speaking on this occasion Additional Chief Secretary, Finance, Shailendra Kumar advised the department to focus on augmenting and consolidating existing facilities so that a wider range of AYUSH services could be delivered under one roof. He observed that optimal utilization of available resources would yield greater results than spreading resources across multiple initiatives with limited impact. Highlighting the challenge posed by substance abuse, the ACS also advocated the integration of AYUSH interventions in rehabilitation efforts for drug abuse victims and urged the department to actively contribute to the ongoing Nasha Mukt Abhiyaan. He underscored the importance of a whole-of-government approach in addressing the issue effectively.Commissioner Secretary, Health and Medical Education, M. Raju, informed the meeting about the roadmap for expansion and strengthening of AYUSH healthcare services, educational institutions and public health interventions across Jammu and Kashmir. He stated that the proposed Annual Action Plan had been formulated following extensive consultations with district-level AYUSH functionaries and heads of AYUSH medical colleges and envisages substantial investments in healthcare infrastructure, human resource development, institutional capacity enhancement and quality service delivery. During the meeting, Director AYUSH, Dr. Ajay Kumar Tikoo, informed that while the Ministry of AYUSH has indicated a tentative resource envelope of 58.539 Cr, the UT has proposed a comprehensive action plan amounting to 91.997 Cr keeping in view the increasing demand for AYUSH facilities and the satisfactory utilization of funds under previous programmes. He further apprised the Governing Body that the plan includes strengthening 523 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, augmentation of AYUSH units in public health institutions, uninterrupted supply of essential medicines to hospitals and dispensaries, upgradation of existing AYUSH hospitals and dispensaries and accelerated completion of new healthcare facilities in underserved areas. To strengthen governance and implementation of the National AYUSH Mission, the Governing Body also approved the reconstitution of the Executive Committee of the J&K AYUSH Society with representation from the Health and Medical Education Department, National Health Mission, Finance, Planning and other technical stakeholders. The meeting also deliberated on the engagement of manpower sanctioned by the Ministry of AYUSH under various components of the National AYUSH Mission. Reiterating the governments commitment towards strengthening AYUSH systems, the Chief Secretary emphasized the need for enhanced healthcare infrastructure, wider outreach programmes and greater public awareness regarding the benefits of AYUSH therapies and wellness practices, thereby ensuring accessible, affordable and holistic healthcare services for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Top IITs & Engineering Colleges Accepting JEE Advanced 2026 Scores

The JEE Advanced exam is one of the toughest and most famous tests in India for students who want to become engineers. Every year, over 10-12 lakh students first appear in JEE Main, and then the top 2.5 lakh of them qualify to write JEE Advanced. Only a small portion of these students finally make it into the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), which are the dream colleges for many young engineers. In JEE Advanced 2025, around 1.8 lakh students appeared for the exam, and about 54,000 qualified for the next step. But even after qualifying, there are only about 17,700 BTech seats available across all IITs, which makes the competition very tough. Among the 23 IITs, some like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, and IIT Madras remain the most popular choices for top rank holders. Every year, these institutes attract many of the best-performing students because of their strong academics, research opportunities, and excellent placements.

IMD predicts below-normal monsoon rainfall for India in 2026

New Delhi, May 29:The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the country is likely to receive below-normal southwest monsoon rainfall during the June-September season this year, while warning of above-normal heatwave days in several states during June. In its updated long-range forecast issued by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, the IMD said the monsoon seasonal rainfall during 2026 is likely to be around 90 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA), with a model error margin of plus or minus 4 percent. The LPA for the monsoon season based on 1971-2020 data is 87 cm. According to the forecast, there is an 84 per cent probability of below-normal or deficient rainfall across the country during the monsoon season. The IMD said below-normal rainfall is most likely over most parts of the country, except some areas of northwest and northeast India, eastern parts of peninsular India and adjoining east-central regions, where normal to above-normal rainfall is expected. The weather agency warned that below-normal rainfall may create challenges for agriculture, drinking water supply, hydropower generation and ecosystem sustainability. It may also increase the risks of drought and heat stress in several regions. For June 2026, rainfall across the country is also expected to remain below normal at less than 92 percent of the Long Period Average. However, some parts of northwest and northeast India and several areas of south peninsular India are likely to receive normal to above-normal rainfall. The IMD further said above-normal heatwave days are expected during June over many parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Isolated regions of Maharashtra, Telangana, Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are also likely to witness more heatwave days than usual. However, Rajasthan and Jharkhand are expected to see below-normal heatwave days during the month. The Ministry of Earth Sciences said above-normal maximum and minimum temperatures are likely over most parts of the country during June. The IMD noted that neutral El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions over the equatorial Pacific are currently transitioning towards El Nino conditions, which are likely to develop during the southwest monsoon season. Neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions are expected to continue during the monsoon period. The weather office advised state governments and district administrations to take necessary preparedness measures to deal with possible heatwave conditions, including ensuring safe drinking water, operational cooling shelters and stronger health surveillance systems. The IMD also urged people to remain hydrated, avoid exposure during peak afternoon hours and take special care of vulnerable individuals, including children, elderly people and outdoor workers. The department said it will issue the forecast for July rainfall in the last week of June 2026.

Niche Group Advances India's Vision Across Organic Farming and Cancer Treatment

During the event, Chairman of the Niche Group, Harisharan Devgan, stated that chemical-based farming is gradually destroying soil fertility, and the only sustainable path forward is to return to organic and natural farming practices. He urged students to feel proud of calling themselves farmers and encouraged them to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make agriculture self-reliant and future-ready.   Chairman of Niche Group, Shri Harisharan Devgan, answered life-changing questions from agriculture students   Nestled amidst the beauty of nature, the auditorium of CSKHPKV transformed into far more than a venue that day it became a witness to a dream where the fragrance of soil turns into medicine, and where the hands of farmers weave hope for cancer patients. Renowned agripreneur and Chairman of Niche Group, Harisharan Devgan, addressed agriculture students with visionary ideas capable of reshaping the future of Indian agriculture and healthcare. It was not merely a seminar, but a historic moment scripting the future of India. The university had organized the seminar under the theme “Healthy Farming, Healthy Nation – The Road Ahead in India.” Harisharan Devgan attended as the chief guest and explained how agriculture can uplift not only farmers, but eventually strengthen the nation itself. Speaking from the stage, Harisharan Devgan emphasized that he is not just an industrialist, but a farmer by heart and soul. Proudly calling himself the son of a farmer, he reflected on his own journey that began nearly 20 years ago with organic pomegranate cultivation in Andhra Pradesh. Addressing the students like members of his own family, he said, Devgan personally manages a large gaushala housing thousands of cows, where organic manure is prepared from cow dung and natural pesticides are made using cow urine. Through these practices, he believes not only the soil but society itself can remain healthy and alive. He explained the advantages of natural farming, highlighting that it not only protects soil health but also reduces production costs and increases farmers’ income. He urged students to reconnect with the soil from this very moment and reminded them that there should never be shame in proudly calling oneself a farmer. He remarked, Harisharan Devgan further encouraged students to look at agriculture beyond simply producing grains, vegetables, or fruits. According to him, farming today must evolve from basic production to processing and global marketing. Responding to a student’s question, he emphasized that anyone planning to establish a successful agricultural company must carefully study both the previous five years’ weather patterns and forecasts for the next five years. “Young entrepreneurs should never start a business with half knowledge, but with complete preparation and understanding,” he added. According to him, becoming a company owner from being a farmer is not impossible; it simply requires the right direction and consistent hard work. While answering a question regarding Artificial Intelligence, Harisharan Devgan explained that AI is not an enemy. However, if people fail to adapt to it, it could become one. He stated that AI can help individuals become self-reliant and complete tasks that traditionally take days within minutes. He encouraged every farmer to use AI tools and advised small farmers to work collectively in clusters while adopting technology to improve productivity and decision-making. He warned, From the same platform, Harisharan Devgan also revealed that Niche Group is not limited to farming alone, but is courageously working in the pharmaceutical sector to combat serious diseases. He announced, "Niche Agriculture and Pharmaceuticals Limited (NAPL) focuses on developing treatments for diseases that place a significant financial burden on underserved families."   Devgan emotionally stated, "Timely and cost-effective treatment can make quality healthcare more accessible for millions of families." He further explained that the company also aims to invest heavily in renewable energy and biofuels. Another remarkable aspect of the event was the large-scale selection process conducted for PhD scholars. Hundreds of researchers from across the country lined up to meet experts from the Niche Group and secure opportunities in agriculture and biotechnology. At the beginning of the seminar, the university’s Vice Chancellor remarked, Supreme Court advocate Shabanand Dalei and Adarsh Singh were also present during the seminar, while Dr. Deshraj Chaudhary concluded the event with a vote of thanks. By the conclusion of the seminar, the entire atmosphere had transformed into one filled with confidence, determination, and hope. Harisharan Devgan, whose family has a long-standing legacy connected to agriculture, demonstrated that India possesses immense untapped strength within its agricultural roots. While Niche Group continues exporting fruits and contributing to the “Make in India” vision, it is simultaneously investing in disease research, creating employment opportunities for talented youth, educating farmers about advanced technology, and supporting India’s self-reliance in solar and clean energy sectors. Niche Group has emerged as a leading force in organic farming and pharmaceutical innovation aimed at making treatment affordable and accessible for the underprivileged. The organization has also contributed significantly to education by adopting an entire school. Additionally, the group continues research and investment in renewable energy, biofuels, water conservation, and farmer welfare initiatives to secure sustainable resources for future generations. The journey of Harisharan Devgan teaches us that unwavering determination can overcome even the greatest challenges. It stands as a powerful example of how one clear vision and one strong resolve can strengthen the backbone of an entire nation.

IMD forecasts below-normal monsoon rainfall, above-normal heatwaves in June

New Delhi , May 29 : The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday issued its second-stage long-range forecast for the southwest monsoon season, projecting below-normal rainfall across several key regions of the country while warning of heatwave conditions in multiple states starting in June. Addressing a press conference, Director General of Meteorology Dr Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said the country is expected to receive 90 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA) rainfall during the June-September monsoon season, with a model error margin of four per cent. We are providing the second-stage update for the June-September monsoon. Quantitatively, we expect 90 per cent of the LPA, with a 4 per cent model error, Mohapatra said.According to the regional forecast, Northeast India is expected to receive normal rainfall, ranging between 94 and 106 per cent of the LPA. However, Central India, South Peninsular India, Northwest India and the Monsoon Core Zone are likely to experience below-normal rainfall during the season.Providing the outlook for June, Mohapatra said rainfall is expected to remain below normal across most parts of the country, at less than 92 per cent of the LPA. Some areas in Northwest India, Northeast India and the southern peninsula may, however, witness normal to above-normal rainfall.The IMD also forecast above-normal temperatures for most regions during June. Maximum temperatures will be above normal for most of the country, except for parts of Central, Northwest and East India. Minimum temperatures are also expected to remain mostly above normal, Mohapatra said. The weather agency warned of an above-normal number of heatwave days in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Parts of Maharashtra, Telangana and Tamil Nadu are also likely to witness increased heatwave activity. On oceanic conditions, Mohapatra said neutral ENSO conditions are transitioning towards El Nino, with the probability of El Nino conditions increasing to 82 per cent by June and crossing 90 per cent by July and August. Neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions are expected to persist throughout the monsoon season.He further noted that rainfall in May has been four per cent above normal nationally, while cumulative seasonal rainfall up to May 27 stood one per cent above normal. Mohapatra said the southwest monsoon advanced into the Andaman and Nicobar Islands on May 16, four days ahead of the normal onset date. It has since progressed into the South Arabian Sea and Lakshadweep, with conditions remaining favourable for its arrival over Kerala and the northeastern states within the next week. Meanwhile, the IMD on Thursday forecasted relief from severe heat across Northwest India over the next three days due to the influence of western disturbances and easterly winds, along with thunderstorms, gusty winds and hailstorm activity in several regions.
