JEPC implements bridge course to reintegrate dropout students
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.

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.

Wudu, Rakat, and health benefits of Salah Before performing Salah, Muslims must complete wudu, an ablution ritual involving washing the hands, mouth, nose, face, arms, head, and feet. Each Salah includes rakats, or cycles of movement, including standing (Qiyam), bowing (Ruku), prostration (Sajdah), and sitting (Tashahhud). These positions offer both spiritual and physical benefits: Qiyam (standing): Enhances circulation and strengthens leg muscles. Ruku (bowing): Improves flexibility and supports spinal health. Sajdah (prostration): Increases blood flow to the brain and stimulates the pituitary gland. Tashahhud (sitting): Aligns with Yoga's Vajrasana posture, aiding digestion and posture.

Flight forced to make emergency landing after death plunge: What exactly is a death plunge
A Japan Airlines flight took a terrifying turn on June 30 when a Boeing 737 suddenly dropped nearly 26,000 ft in just 10 min, leaving passengers scrambling for oxygen masks. Flight JL8696, operated in partnership with Spring Japan, had taken off from Shanghai Pudong Airport en route to Tokyo Narita with 191 passengers on board, as per the reports. But at around 6:53 pm local time, a mechanical issue caused the aircraft to make a rapid descent from its cruising altitude of 36,000 ft to just under 10,500 ft. The flight, which had departed earlier in the day, raised alarms when the cockpit crew reported a technical fault that required prompt action. According to the Standard, this Boeing 737 plane made an emergency dive, what is known as a 'death plunge', plunging nearly 8,000 m in about 10 minutes.
