DAVV to introduce subject codes for upcoming exams to avoid confusion
The decision was taken under the directives of vice-chancellor Dr Rakesh Singhai after several complaints were received from students. With introduction of National Education Policy (NEP), the number of undergraduate subjects at DAVV exceeded 250, leading to instances where subjects with similar names caused confusion among examinees. In some cases, students even missed their exams due to misunderstandings regarding subject selection.
A recent example involved BCom students who opted for Personal Tax Planning under the vocational stream, but, mistakenly appeared for the elective paper due to the similarity in subject titles. This issue was highlighted during a recent meeting convened to review examination and result-related concerns, prompting immediate administrative action.
Controller of examinations Dr Ashesh Tiwari said the new coding system will be implemented for the undergraduate first-year examinations and postgraduate second and fourth semester exams scheduled from July. Vocational and elective subjects, though similarly titled, have entirely different syllabi—vocational subjects include both theory and practical components, while electives are theory-based only.

PMC explores possibility of utilising Jambhulwadi lake water for drinking purposes
Pune: The civic administration is considering tapping Jambhulwadi lake in Katraj as a drinking water source, for which PMC's water supply department is working on a detailed project report (DPR) to supply water from the lake to around 30,000 residents in the nearby areas. The lake, with a capacity of 60 lakh cubic metres, is fed by Katraj and nearby hills. Preliminary estimates suggest Rs 40-50 crore will be needed for infrastructure, including a water purification plant, storage tanks and pipelines. The project aims to supply water to areas like Ambegaon, Jambhulwadi and Kolewadi. PMC is also working on a sewage treatment plant proposal to prevent untreated water from entering the lake. Residents, however, said the administration was not serious about utilising the lake water for drinking purposes. "Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) should conduct a detailed study to check if water can be used for drinking. If not, it can at least be utilised for other purposes. PMC recently cleared the lake of hyacinth. But with the release of untreated water, the hyacinth has started resurfacing in the lake," Amol Vatkar, a local resident, said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Don't Pay Full Price for 2025's Top Games!

Water availability in the merged areas has continued to be inadequate despite PMC deploying water tankers. Many areas are spending huge sums of money on private tankers to meet their daily requirements. Sources from PMC said options were being explored to fetch water from small ponds in the Katraj hill areas, apart from Jambhulwadi lake. Parvati MLA Madhuri Misal had tables a proposal for utilising the water in the ponds a few months back. Misal then told the administration to explore possibilities on whether water can be lifted from the ponds in the Katraj hills. One such pond is located in the Bhilarewadi area.

2 years on, NHAI steps in to carry out repair of sewer after cave-ins on Sohna highway
Gurgaon: A day after a portion of Sohna highway caved in near SD Adarsh Public School, NHAI on Tuesday said it is planning taking up the rehabilitation of the master sewer line — after being locked in a blame game. The cave-in on Monday was the fifth such incident over the last two years due to the damaged sewer line. This comes after nearly two years of inaction and repeated back-and-forth between GMDA and the highway authority even as commuters have been suffering. In 2022, the sewer line was officially handed over to GMDA once the Sohna highway project was completed. However, since Dec 2023, repeated sinkholes developed along the same stretch. A senior NHAI official said, "We have been pursuing GMDA for over a year now to carry out the rehabilitation of the sewer line, but the work hasn't started. Now they are raking up an old estimate from before GMDA was even formed. But given the repeated collapses, we are deliberating to take up the work ourselves as per GMDA's specifications. We will soon request their formal consent."

The CIPP technique involves inserting a flexible liner into the damaged pipe, which is then cured to form a new, seamless pipe within the old one, effectively sealing any leaks and restoring structural integrity without the need for excavation. The sewer line rehabilitation was originally proposed in 2017, before the Sohna highway project began. At the time, HUDA — now Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran — drew up an estimate of Rs 28.75 crore for the rehabilitation of the 1800mm sewer line using CIPP technology, the laying of a 900mm line from Subhash Chowk towards Sector 48, and the strengthening of manholes.

JEPC implements bridge course to reintegrate dropout students
1 2 Ranchi: The Jharkhand Education Project Council (JEPC) has implemented a structured bridge course programme across the state aimed at reintegrating children who dropped out of school or were never enrolled. The bridge course curriculum has been designed and divided into two parts — Part I for Classes I to V and Part II for Classes VI to VIII, based on the academic stage at which the child is being re-enrolled. The state project director at JEPC Shashi Ranjan said, "The initiative is part of the efforts to ensure access to education under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan and is focused on bridging the academic gaps in children's learning journey." So far, around 59,000 children have been brought back into the education system through the 'Back to School' campaign. To support this reintegration, the bridge course is being implemented with the help of trained teachers and resource persons, who will conduct special remedial classes and assessments for the enrolled children. As per the Shishu Panji survey, 43,250 were from Classes I to VIII, and 15,844 were from secondary levels. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The count included 24,649 dropouts and 18,601 children who were never enrolled. The SPD said, "It aims to build foundational competencies, close learning gaps, and prepare students for smooth integration into regular classroom settings. The curriculum has been developed to be flexible, inclusive, and responsive to individual learning paces, enabling each child to progress with confidence. " JEPC has also begun the development of special training modules tailored for out-of-school children. To facilitate this, a four-day residential workshop was organised in the first phase from June 23 to June 26. The workshop was conducted for the subject-wise teachers and resource persons, emphasising design content for the bridge modules. Participants were directed to attend the workshop with textbooks from Classes I to VIII of their respective subjects.
