The initiative, organised with the support of NavGurukul Organisation, Anudip Foundation, JanSoch, Google and Asian Development Bank, is also being implemented in three other government schools in the district including Government Girls Higher Secondary School in Kovilpatti, S.M. Girls Higher Secondary School in Tiruchendur and Government Higher Secondary School in Kayalpattinam.

'We are moving forward in a way that we cannot even identify what is generated by AI and what is not.' AI technology was becoming an inevitable part of society.' She pointed out that AI tools such as Chatgpt had made tasks much easier compared to other platforms and had significantly saved time in the creation of various essential outputs. Stressing the importance of early exposure, she said AI training had already been introduced in schools across the world. Addressing the students, Thoothukudi Collector K. Elambahavath said the training programme had been planned for the past three months, during which the need for AI education was carefully evaluated. 'By the time you complete your higher education, in various technologies that govern this world, AI technology will be a significant one.'

Fitness coach who dropped 10 kg shares 10 habits that look healthy but hamper your fat loss: 'Snacking on protein bars'
Aarja Bedi, an online fitness coach, underwent an impressive transformation, shedding 10 kilos through consistent effort and discipline. On her Instagram profile, she regularly shares personal anecdotes from her weight loss journey, highlighting the mistakes she made, lessons learned, and the strategies that truly worked for her. Also read | Fitness coach shares 10 simple rules to lose 10 kgs in 50 days without dieting or gym: 'Start your day with protein' Know these 10 weight loss mistakes that can slow down your progress.(Freepik) On June 27, Aarja posted about the importance of understanding which weight loss hacks actually deliver results and which ones may unknowingly stall your progress. 'I used to think these were healthy habits… But they were quietly stalling my fat loss. And the crazy part? Most of them are still praised as fit girl moves. If you're stuck even though you think you're doing everything right, this might explain why,' she wrote. Aarja noted down 10 weight loss mistakes that can slow down your progress: 1. Starting the day with fruit only Felt light and clean but crashed her blood sugar and triggered cravings by noon. 2. Barely eating all day, then overeating at night While this may look like a disciplined move, it can starve your body and lead to more cravings, making you settle for a binge. 3. Oats and peanut butter every morning Seemed fit girl approved, but super calorie-dense and didn't keep her full. 4. Snacking on protein bars and trail mix Easy and high protein but added up fast and barely satisfied her. 5. Replacing meals with smoothies Aarja drank her calories thinking it was smart but ended up hungrier and snacky after. Also read | Woman who lost 18 kg at home without gym or crash diet shares 7 simple tips she followed: 'Use this prompt on Chatgpt' 6. Trying to burn off food with workouts Exercise is not punishment. This mindset made her hate training and obsessed over food. 7. Cutting all carbs completely Cutting down carbs completely can lead to muscle loss. This can further damage your energy and mood. 8. Baking healthy desserts all the time Just because it's sugar-free doesn't mean it's calorie-free. And it kept her sweet tooth alive. 9. Training hard but sleeping 5 hours You can't out-train broken recovery. In weight loss, sleep is of primary importance. It helps regulate the body and rejuvenate it. 10. Obsessing over the scale daily 'It moved up and down like crazy. I didn't realize I was making real progress till I stopped caring,' Aarja added.

Woman who dropped 43 kilos in a year ‘without extreme diets' shares 4 weight loss tips that helped her
Andrea went through a drastic weight loss transformation and dropped 43 kilos in just one year without following any extreme diets or workout routine. Andrea keeps sharing snippets of her impressive weight loss journey with tips and hacks that fast-tracked the process on her Instagram profile on a regular basis. On April 30, Andrea shared a post noting down the habits she followed for one year that helped her. Also read | Fitness coach shares 10 simple rules to lose 10 kgs in 50 days without dieting or gym: 'Start your day with protein' Here's how you can lose weight faster.(Pexels) 'Watch me go from 240 lbs to 145 lbs naturally in 12 months without extreme diets or exercise,' Andrea wrote. Here's how she did it: 1. Eat in a calorie deficit: 'I calculated my TDEE and ensured I was consistently eating below my maintenance requirements. I didn't eliminate any food groups or foods I enjoyed. I worked these foods into my meal plan, prioritised variety and nightly treats. I enjoyed the food I was eating, and this made it much easier to stick to my deficit,' Andrea wrote. 2. Prioritise protein: Protein is so important while losing weight for a number of reasons. Firstly, it increases satiety, keeping you fuller for longer. Secondly, it boosts metabolism; it takes more energy for your body to break down protein than it does carbs or fat. Thirdly, it preserves and builds muscle mass. During weight loss, eating adequate protein helps your body preserve lean muscle mass, which means more of the weight you lose is fat.

Have a step goal: Instead of doing formal cardio while losing weight, focus on increasing non-exercise activity thermogenesis. Hit at least 10 thousand steps in a day. 4. Strength train regularly with progressive overload: 'I stopped viewing exercise as a way to burn calories. I saw it as a way to preserve and potentially build muscle mass while my body burned fat. Strength training is so important while losing weight because we don't want to burn our muscle; we want to burn fat! If you strength train while in a calorie deficit, you will lose less muscle than someone who isn't exercising or only doing cardio,' she added.
