Student suicides surpass population growth rate - Over the last decade, the population of 0-24-year-olds reduced from 582 million to 581 million, and the number of student suicides increased from 6,654 to 13,044

Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh top the list, accounting for one-third of the national total. The data is based on the police records (FIRs). So the actual numbers are likely to be underrated.

Given that flooding has been an annual phenomenon in Delhi/NCR for years on end, it's high time all ministers/officials concerned in the NCR region sit together & draw up a long-term, comprehensive drainage plan for the area. Very doable if intent is there. @AtishiAAP

UPS is a big fraud with lakhs of employees of the country. In this, the employees' money is being taken and pension is being given to them. This is also a betrayal of the OBC, Dalit and tribal communities of the country. Employees from OBC, Dalit and tribal communities will not get pension through this scheme. Along with this, this pension scheme is a betrayal of the paramilitary forces of the country. The central government will have to bring back the OPS scheme. Only that will benefit the employees.

The past two years have seen a complete breakdown in the constitutional role of the L-G’s office in Delhi. In the past, retired bureaucrats, IPS officers and ex-servicemen were appointed as Delhi L-G. A non-ex officer was appointed L-G in May 2022 and it is no secret as to whose “aid and advice” he is taking. Over the past two years, the L-G has worked with a single goal — derail many works of the elected government and upturn the democratic mandate in Delhi. The interference ranges from appointing hostile bureaucrats in key positions to blocking funds for the Delhi Jal Board and Farishtey Scheme.

"If You Do Not Respect Us..."

"Should a person holding a constitutional post make such statements? There should be mutual respect (between politicians and judiciary)... how can anyone say we pass orders for political reasons?" the court said, "If you do not respect (us) then we will send (your) trial elsewhere."

"This is the highest court in the country... just yesterday we issued notice to Maharashtra's Additional Chief Secretary (Forest and Revenue Department)," the court warned Mr Reddy.

Irked over Reddy's statement hinting towards an alleged deal between the BJP and the BRS for securing bail for Kavitha, the top court said such statements could create apprehensions in minds of people.

A young girl lay on the road in front of Girish Bhawan in north Calcutta, her clothes dishevelled and what looked like blood all over her body and around her. Then she started reading out lines from The Vagina Monologues, a copy of the book in her hand.

A small crowd of curious onlookers began to gather. 

“Natok hocche, natok natok [drama happening, drama],” an older lady began to shout. As the street play got under way, the crowd around swelled, spilling onto the street causing taxis and cars to stop.  

“What will happen even after wearing clothes,” the young girl asked. “The state will strip me, what a day has come, what kind of freedom!”

Another day in the life of Sanjita and her daughter Jhil, who have taken to the streets in protest through the only vehicle they have – their street theatre. 

The report, released by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago, highlights Delhi’s status as one of the most polluted regions in the northern plains.

It has been pointed out that Jay Shah has had no achievement or experience that would qualify or prepare him for a global role. Not much is known of his educational qualifications nor of any substantive assignment in public or private sectors; his one and only asset seems to be his father’s name and position. This is that familiar pre-Naya Bharat family name working its magic in mysterious ways.

Testing times: More students dying by suicide than farmers

Maharashtra, MP, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka & Odisha account for 46% of total cases

Student suicides in India have surpassed suicides by farmers. A report by IC3 Institute titled ‘Student Suicides: An Epidemic Sweeping India’ used National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data to highlight that the year 2021 saw 13,089 students dying by suicide as against 10,881 suicides by farmers in the country.

Over the last decade (2012-21), 97,571 cases of student suicides were recorded — an alarming 57% compared to the prior decade, 2002-11, the report said. While the overall suicide rate in India has increased by 2% annually, the rate of student suicides has surged by 4%. The report has suggested that the figures may be underreported.

Delhi High Court Judges Who Denied Bail to AAP Leaders Now Linked to RSS? Judge Dinesh Kumar Sharma, who denied bail to Satyendar Jain & Manish Sisodia, Judge Swarana Kanta, who denied bail for Arvind Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh & Manish Sisodia, are now running an RSS-linked study circle! These judges, who consistently ruled against opposition leaders, are now openly connected to an RSS-affiliated group. This shocking twist raises serious concerns about justice and impartiality in our courts!

AI: Beyond Hype, Towards Science

Aided with high-speed memories and processing powers, chatbots are master mimickers as they quickly learn and repeat the available patterns in the datasets; there is no originality and creativity in their behaviour.

These days, ‘Technological Singularity’ is a buzzword among artificial intelligence (AI)-researchers and enthusiasts – a term used to identify that moment when AI will surpass human intelligence and force humans to bow before their artificial overlords.

Human languages are constrained, and human speakers naturally segregate the acceptable sentences from the unacceptable ones, even when these structures are not part of their received environmental input. Chatbots are incapable of such intuitions.

Human language, on the other hand, is creative, allowing us to form new structures that we have never heard or uttered before, and letting us imagine and talk about things and events beyond the immediate. Human language production is not restricted to what we hear or learn; we also create novel sentences, using a finite number of combinatorial rules of languages.
