Second round of admissions to Delhi Govt schools for Classes 10, 12 to begin next week
In a circular issued by the DoE, it was clarified that the application forms will be made available from next week across designated centres. These forms will allow eligible students to seek admission in government-run schools operating under the DoE. However, this round specifically excludes admissions to Rajkiya Pratibha Vikas Vidyalayas (RPVVs), Schools of Specialised Excellence (SoSE), and Schools of Excellence (SoE).
This move comes as part of the DoE's efforts to ensure that students who, for any reason, failed to participate in the March cycle, are given another opportunity to secure admission and continue their education without disruption.
Eligibility strictly for Delhi residents
The DoE has strictly specified that only students residing in Delhi are eligible to apply in this phase. Applicants will be required to furnish proof of residence within Delhi along with standard academic records and identity documentation at the time of form submission and verification.

An official from the DoE, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the second admission round is primarily aimed at preventing dropouts and supporting mid-year academic integration.
Admissions limited to DoE-run government schools
It is important to note that the admissions will be applicable only to Delhi government schools that come directly under the purview of the DoE. Special category schools such as RPVVs and SoSEs will not entertain fresh applications in this cycle, as they have separate selection criteria and admission schedules.
Next steps and important dates
Exact dates for the commencement of application distribution and submission deadlines are expected to be published on the official DoE website and at individual schools by early next week. Students and parents are advised to keep an eye on the official announcements and be ready with the necessary documents.
With this second opportunity, the Delhi government reiterates its commitment to inclusive education and ensuring that all eligible students are accommodated within the academic framework, even if they missed the earlier admission window.

Posters in Jabalpur temples request women to wear traditional attire
1 2 3 Jabalpur: "If you are wearing miniskirts, jeans-tops, or western clothes, please view the temple from outside," say the posters put up across at least 40 temples in Jabalpur city. These posters have been placed outside city temples, appealing to women and young girls to dress according to Indian culture when entering the temple. The posters, put up by a right-wing organisation, have become a topic of discussion in the city. Reacting to the posters, advocate and activist working for women's rights in the city, Ranjana Kurariya, said, "What clothes we wear and what not is our right. We could wear a saree, salwar kurta, or even anything we feel like. Deciding what to wear is our right; no one can dictate to us on it. No one could even request us on it. God is for everyone, be it women or men. Seeing such posters, women visiting the temples will feel hurt. " "And the question is, what is Indian culture? If we look at older times, stitched clothes were not worn here; stitched clothes were brought in from other countries," Kurariya said. The posters request that visitors wear attire in line with Indian culture when entering the temple premises. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription!

The Mahakal Sangh International Bajrang Dal is mentioned as the issuer of the poster. Ankit Mishra, the district media in-charge of the International Bajrang Dal, stated that they placed these posters in about 30 to 40 prominent temples in the city, and they are being put up in other temples as well.

‘Emergency situation': Influx of Afghans returning to their country from Iran ahead of deadline; 250,000 already returned in June
ANI file photo In the days before a return deadline set for Sunday, tens of thousands of Afghans crossed the border from Iran, creating an 'emergency' situation at border crossings, according to the United Nations. Iranian authorities said that out of six million Afghans living in Iran, about four million could be affected by a late May order asking them to leave the country by July 6. Unicef's representative in Afghanistan, Tajudeen Oyewale, called the situation an 'emergency' in a country already facing a 'chronic returnee crisis.' He said that 1.4 million Afghans have returned this year from long-time host countries like Iran and Pakistan. Men, women, and even entire families are crossing the border with little money or belongings. 'What is concerning is that 25 percent of all these returnees are children… because the demographics have shifted,' Oyewale was quoted as saying to news agency AFP on Thursday. The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, said on Friday that the number of people crossing the border has gone up since mid-June. On July 1, about 43,000 people crossed into Herat province through Islam Qala border. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo More than 250,000 Afghans returned from Iran in June alone, according to the UN migration agency (IOM). 'When you start hitting more than 20,000 people (a day) that is completely beyond the planning scenario that we have,' said Oyewale. He explained that while the border crossing at Islam Qala can handle the large number of people, it struggles to provide services. The UN is improving water and sanitation facilities meant for 7,000–10,000 people a day. It is also running vaccination campaigns, providing nutrition support, and setting up spaces for children. Many Afghans risk being deported or arrested. Aref Atayi, 38, told AFP, 'Some people are so afraid that they don't leave the house themselves… They send their young children out just for a piece of bread, and even those children get arrested sometimes.' The UN, international aid groups, and Taliban officials have all asked for more support for the returnees. Foreign aid to Afghanistan has been cut heavily in recent years. The UN has urged countries not to force Afghans to return, saying the country is already struggling with poverty, high unemployment, and climate change. The Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021 after the US and Nato forces withdrew.

National Fried Chicken Day: A look at the untold Black history behind the much-loved dish
July 6 is celebrated as National Fried Chicken Day—a date that sees people across the U.S. (and beyond) indulging in one of the world's most universally loved comfort foods. But while fried chicken enjoys global popularity, from karaage in Japan to chimaek in South Korea, there's a side of its story that many people don't know. Behind the golden crust and juicy bite lies a history that's far less appetizing: one tied deeply to slavery, racial stereotypes, and exploitation. So as you dig into your favorite fried chicken today, let's take a moment to explore how this dish became so closely associated with Black culture in America, and how that relationship has shaped both its perception and its power. Fried chicken's roots: African hands, southern kitchens Long before it was bucketed and branded, fried chicken emerged at the crossroads of African and European food traditions in the American South. Scottish immigrants arrived in the 1700s with a habit of battering and deep-frying meat. At the same time, nearly half a million West Africans were brought to America as slaves, many with their own practices of frying, braising, and seasoning poultry. Enslaved African-Americans were often forced to cook for plantation households and, over time, refined and elevated the fried chicken recipe. While white landowners generally favored beef and pork, chickens, considered cheap and inferior, were left to roam yards and garbage heaps. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like "대상포진" 사라져 진짜 감사해요,,, 카이스트 박사의 '이것.'' 면역력 Rg3의 비결 더 알아보기 Undo That neglect gave the enslaved some control. Since chickens weren't banned in slave codes (unlike pigs, horses, or cows), many Black families raised them for eggs, meat, and income. Chickens were traded, eaten, or sold, offering a rare thread of autonomy in a brutal system. The labor of frying chicken was intense: birds had to be caught, killed, scalded, plucked, gutted, singed, and butchered before even reaching the frying pan. In Virginia and Maryland, two distinct frying methods emerged: deep frying in lard, and skillet-frying under a lid, served with gravy. Mary Randolph, a white woman from a slaveholding family, published the first known recipe for Southern fried chicken in her 1824 cookbook The Virginia House-Wife, a recipe almost certainly built on the labor and knowledge of the Black cooks in her home. How racism distorted the dish After emancipation, fried chicken became a lifeline for many Black women in the South. In Gordonsville, Virginia, once dubbed the fried chicken capital of the world—Black women sold chicken through train windows to passengers when dining cars were still a rarity. According to scholar Psyche Williams-Forson in Building Houses Out of Chicken Legs, fried chicken enabled these women to achieve financial independence, buy property, and support their families. But that empowerment came with backlash. By the late 1800s, a racist myth was brewing: that Black Americans had a strange, almost mystical craving for fried chicken. The New York Times published an 1882 article claiming that 'in the breast of every coloured man' lived an 'ineradicable yearning for chickens.' Absurd courtroom trials followed, one 1876 case in Virginia brought a mother hen to testify against a Black woman accused of theft. The chicken's supposed recognition of her chick led to a conviction and 39 lashes. This image of Black people as obsessive chicken thieves became common in American pop culture. The 1915 film The Birth of a Nation—which glorified the Ku Klux Klan—featured a scene of a Black legislator eating fried chicken with his feet on a desk, meant to symbolize sloth, excess, and incompetence. Even in recent times, this stereotype lingers. Many Black Americans remain wary of eating fried chicken in public, aware of the racial assumptions still attached. Who owns the recipe? And who gets left behind Despite Black cooks being the backbone of Southern fried chicken's legacy, it was a white man—Harland 'Colonel' Sanders—who built a global empire from it. In the 1930s, Sanders began serving fried chicken at his service station in Kentucky. Using a pressure fryer to speed up cooking, he refined a recipe and business model that took off in the 1950s as Kentucky Fried Chicken. Today, there are over 25,000 KFC locations in more than 145 countries. Attempts by Black entrepreneurs to reclaim fried chicken commercially struggled to compete. That contrast is stark: the people who created and preserved the dish saw it turned into a multibillion-dollar franchise by someone who neither invented it nor carried the cultural burden it represented.
