Time of India3 days ago
Kochi: In a pioneering step towards promoting digital literacy and access to knowledge, e-libraries will be set up across all higher secondary schools (HSS), vocational higher secondary schools and high schools within Vypeen constituency.
According to MLA K N Unnikrishnan, this initiative will make Vypeen the first constituency in the state where every high school has a digital library.
The inauguration of the constituency-wide project will be held at the St Mary's High School ground in Pallippuram at 10am on July 29. Kerala legislative assembly speaker A N Shamseer will inaugurate the event, with MLA Unnikrishnan presiding.
This innovative initiative, spearheaded by Unnikrishnan, aims to shape a brighter future for the community.
"The digital libraries will host an extensive collection of top-quality books accessible to both students and public.
In addition, various training programmes will be offered to help users develop expertise in different fields. The libraries will include works from renowned authors as well as contemporary writers," Unnikrishnan said. Students can access the digital content using the computers already available in schools.

Myanmar refugees to face deportation if convicted of drug offences: Mizo group

Aizawl: Young Mizo Association (YMA) sub-headquarters in Champhai district, bordering Myanmar, has issued new directives to Myanmar refugees residing in the area. The guidelines state that any refugee convicted of drug trafficking or possession will be deported to Myanmar after serving their jail term. This week, the YMA sub-headquarters outlined rules prohibiting refugees from forming associations or groups based on sub-tribes. The move aims to ensure uniform guidelines and equal access to support and maintenance. "They (refugees) should enrol themselves in the respective YMA units of their localities or villages and submit their Myanmar identity cards to YMA leaders. Whoever violates the local social guidelines are liable to be punished," the directives said. If a refugee intends to relocate, the current YMA unit must notify the new unit in advance. Refugees are barred from running businesses that require govt permits or from owning land or buildings. On Wednesday, the Aizawl-based NGO coordination committee — a coalition of major civil society groups and student organisations — expressed deep concern over the emergence of sub-tribe sentiments among refugees amid ongoing ethnic conflicts in Myanmar and Manipur. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo At a meeting held in Aizawl, the committee underscored that Mizoram has long been a haven of peaceful coexistence among Zo ethnic tribes. It urged the public and refugees to prevent the rise of divisive, tribe-based thinking that could threaten state harmony. The statement follows recent armed clashes in Myanmar's Chin state between Chin sub-tribes, which forced hundreds of refugees into Mizoram. In neighbouring Manipur, tensions remain high, primarily involving the Meitei community and the Kuki and Zomi groups — ethnic communities closely tied to the Mizos. Past episodes have shown that political divisions can cause friction even between culturally aligned groups like the Kuki and Zomi. Champhai district police officials said nearly 4,000 refugees who had entered Zokhawthar village — fleeing violence in Khawmawi, Rihkhawdar, and nearby Chin state villages — have now returned, following signs of peace.
