Hemant Suryan Sworn in as Chief Minister of Jharkhand
Hemant Suryan was re-appointed as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand after being granted bail by the High Court. He faced arrest by the Enforcement Directorate related to a money laundering case. The transition involved his resignation, followed by a new leader's appointment. Supporters view his return positively for the upcoming elections.
Introduction of Holistic Progress Cards by NCERT
The NCERT introduced Holistic Progress Cards (HPCs) to align with the National Education Policy and the National Curriculum Framework. The HPCs go beyond standard report cards by incorporating self-assessments, peer evaluations, and teacher assessments. These cards aim to reflect students' overall development and future plans, making them more comprehensive and in line with educational objectives.
Tragic BMW Accident in Mumbai
A fatal accident in Mumbai involved a BMW colliding with a two-wheeler, resulting in a woman's death. The incident led to arrests of the vehicle owner and driver. The tragedy unfolded as the BMW dragged the woman on its bonnet for 2 km. Investigations and legal actions are ongoing to determine responsibility, highlighting the need for road safety measures.
First, Indian Express' Abhishek Angad talks to us about Hemant Soren returning as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand after former CM Champai Soren stepped down from the post. He also shares how these developments will impact the upcoming Jharkhand assembly elections.
Next, Indian Express’ Abhinaya Harigovind speaks to us about a new report card system introduced by PARAKH - a standard setting body created by the NCERT which aims for a more holistic assessment of students and not just based on their exam marks, unlike their standard report cards.(10:22)
And in the end, we talk about another tragic hit and run case, where the son of a Shinde Sena leader allegedly rammed his BMW into a two-wheeler which led to a woman's death. (16:03)
