Women CEOs: Just 9 Women Lead India's Top 500 Companies, Govt Data Shows!

Indrakshi Samanta — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 23:19:03 +0530

There's a lot of talk about women making it big in the corporate world, but new government data tells a different story. Out of India's top 500 companies, just nine have women as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs). Only 25 women hold the position of Managing Director. These figures were revealed by the Union Ministry of Corporate Affairs in a reply to a question in the Lok Sabha.

In total, these top companies have 860 women as board members or directors. This includes 738 Directors, 67 Whole-time Directors, 25 Managing Directors, 18 Additional Directors, and 12 Nominee Directors. The government also clarified that it doesn't keep records for positions like 'Chairperson' or 'Chief Technology Officer' because the Companies Act, 2013, doesn't have a clear definition for them. The ministry added that it hasn't done any special studies on the challenges women face in reaching top corporate roles.

What the Law Says

According to Section 149(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, and Rule 3 of the 2014 rules, some companies must have at least one woman director. This applies to all listed companies, and any unlisted public company with a paid-up capital of ₹100 crore or more, or a turnover of ₹300 crore or more. If this position becomes vacant, it must be filled within three months or by the next board meeting, whichever is later. The ministry stated that the current laws are sufficient to increase women's representation and that no new policies, targets, or benefits are being considered by the government right now.

Rs 71 Lakh in Fines Collected

Over the last five years, the Registrar of Companies has issued 50 orders against companies for not appointing a woman director, collecting a total of ₹71,01,500 in fines. The highest number of violations (19 cases) was reported in the 2023-24 financial year. The government also stated that this number fell to 8 in 2025-26. Across the country, there are a total of 39,99,656 active company directors. Out of these, 11,60,933 are women, the Corporate Affairs Ministry informed the house.

'Higher Marks For Sexual Favours': How One JNU Student's WhatsApp Texts Led Others To Speak Out Against Professor

Divya Danu — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 15:45:17 +0530

A WhatsApp conversation among students at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) following viva examinations in May has led to sexual harassment complaints against a professor, with 11 students approaching the university’s Internal Complaints Committee (ICC). The students have alleged inappropriate behaviour, sexually suggestive remarks and offers of higher marks allegedly linked to sexual favours. The allegations are currently under investigation by the ICC, and neither the committee nor the JNU administration has publicly commented on the matter.

How did the allegations come to light?

According to sources cited by NDTV, the issue surfaced after one student described her experience during a viva in the first week of May in a WhatsApp group meant only for students.

Her account reportedly encouraged other students to share their own experiences with the professor. Several students subsequently came forward with similar allegations, eventually leading 11 students to approach the ICC.

Sources alleged that the professor made comments with sexual overtones during viva examinations and suggested that students could receive additional marks if they entertained his advances.

The allegations remain allegations and have not been independently established.

Students allege inappropriate conduct beyond vivas

The complaints reportedly extend beyond the examination room.

Students have alleged that the professor invited them to gatherings at his residence on the JNU campus, where he allegedly made sexual advances. Some students have also accused him of making lewd or inappropriate comments during classes.

The matter reportedly became a talking point on campus again after students returned from a semester break of around 45 days and classes resumed in July.

Sources said additional students, including senior students, later came forward with similar allegations following another complaint against the professor.

ICC begins proceedings

The university’s ICC has begun proceedings in the matter and asked students to appear before it to record their statements.

The committee has declined to comment, describing the complaint as an internal matter under investigation. The JNU administration has also not issued a public statement on the allegations.

The proceedings will determine the facts of the case and provide the concerned parties an opportunity to present their accounts.

JNU has faced similar complaints before

The latest allegations come after the university took action in another sexual harassment case involving a senior faculty member.

In April last year, JNU’s Executive Council dismissed four employees in separate cases. One of those dismissed was Swaran Singh, a senior professor at the School of International Studies.

According to an official familiar with that case at the time, Singh was dismissed over allegations involving a Japanese official from the Embassy of Japan.

The current case is separate and remains under investigation by the university’s ICC.

The ICC’s proceedings are expected to focus on the statements of the students and other relevant evidence before any conclusion is reached.

He Was Offered ₹1 Crore At 25, But Walked Away After Learning The Workplace Was Toxic

Vaishnav Akash — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 11:56:54 +0530

A 25-year-old professional turned down a Rs 1 crore job offer because he did not want to work in a toxic workplace. The decision has sparked a wider discussion about money, mental health, and what young workers want from their careers.

The story was shared by Bengaluru-based product designer Muskan Atar, who said she was impressed by how clearly the young professional had set his priorities. "A friend of mine turned down a ₹1 Cr offer at the age of 25 to avoid working in a toxic workplace," she wrote on LinkedIn.

"Having the guts to let go of short-term incentives is a huge personality upgrade"

She said she had also rejected similar opportunities in the past but found it difficult to imagine making such a choice at 25. "I have said no to similar opportunities, but I can't imagine having this clear prioritisation at the age of 25," she said.

Atar explained that several pressures could have made the decision harder, including family needs, expectations from others, and personal goals. "Family responsibilities, peer pressure, and my own lifestyle aspirations would probably have made me take the offer. He comes from a similar background to mine, yet having the guts to let go of short-term incentives that don't align with his long-term goals is a huge personality upgrade."

She said the decision showed how some younger workers are looking beyond salary when choosing jobs. "The next generation of the workforce knows what matters to them. Workplaces will have to learn to adapt to it."

The post led to mixed reactions. Some praised the decision, while others pointed out that not everyone can afford to reject such a large salary.

One person wrote, "Glad that people are getting aware of what mental health can lead to… be it good or bad… and yes, money is important. I always say I would choose money over everything, sometimes even job roles or working hours. But toxicity and a weird work environment are a big NO…!! This realisation came after a decade of working in MNC and PSU, but at 25, it is commendable."

Another commented, "The middle class me in me will never be able to do that even in 45. So yeah, reroute those offers to me."

'Mental Harassment': Chandigarh Teacher Alleges School Demanded Rs 10,000 for Experience Letter

Divya Danu — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:04:06 +0530

A woman from Chandigarh has alleged in her post on X that she worked as a teacher at New Public School and accused the educational institution of withholding her pending salary and security deposit. She also claimed that the school demanded Rs 10,000 to issue her experience letter.

The woman claimed that she resigned because of a medical emergency. Criticising the school, she mentioned in her X post, "This is how schools harass teachers." She also labeled her experience as 'mental harassment'.

"I worked there as a teacher, but due to a medical emergency, I had to leave the job. Despite this, the school refused to pay my pending salary and even withheld my security deposit," she wrote, alleging the administration tied release of documents to a payment.

According to her, the fee was described as a 'school rule' to secure the experience letter and retrieve her documents.

She added that she made a partial payment but saw no resolution. "Later, I paid Rs 5,000 in the hope of resolving the matter, but they still refused to give me my documents, experience letter, or pending salary."

"This is nothing short of mental harassment and exploitation of an employee," she wrote in her X post. "I urge the concerned authorities to investigate this matter and ensure that no teacher has to face such treatment."

Allegation against New Public School in Chandigarh

The woman's post names New Public School in Chandigarh and centres on three claims: non-payment of pending salary, withholding of a security deposit and a demand of Rs 10,000 for an experience letter and document release. The ex-teacher further stated that even after paying Rs 5,000, neither the documents nor the salary were provided.

The school's perspective was not included in the post.

Online reactions and calls for action

Her post drew broad reactions. One commenter said, "Private institutions often have such management as exploits the faculty in incredibly unfair ways. Financial penalties are imposed with total disregard for any basic sense of justice."

Another urged legal recourse: "That’s too bad and not acceptable at all. Do take this matter to the court, quite a hassle but if you know some reliable trustworthy lawyer, they can really help," while a separate post amplified the sentiment with, "Take legal action".

Others focused on conditions for private-school staff. "It’s disheartening to see how private school teachers across many states are often treated by their school management and principals." "They deserve far greater respect and support for the work they do."

"Don’t let them get away. Take legal action without mercy," another user wrote.

Exactly something similar happened when I was working there too. Someone had raised a complaint about the coaching centre’s connection with the school, especially for the senior classes. After that, they were allotted a separate block, and the other teachers weren’t even allowed…

— Crow Dhillon (@CrowDhillon8) August 26, 2026

A separate allegation also surfaced in replies: "This school offers dummy school admissions for senior classes in collusion with private coaching centers, charges hefty fees from parents through this arrangement, and still does not pay the teachers. Shame!!"

As the discussion expanded, many called for an official inquiry into the allegations raised by the woman in her social media post.

Jindal Global Business School Enters World’s Top 200 in QS Global MBA Rankings 2027

Gargi Chaudhry — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 13:32:28 +0530

Jindal Global Business School (JGBS) of O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) has achieved a historic milestone in management education with the first-ever inclusion of its MBA programme in the QS Global MBA Rankings 2027, securing a global position in the 171–180 band and entering the world’s Top 200 business schools. In this historic debut, JGBS has also emerged as the No. 1 private university business school in India for its MBA programme.

The significance of this achievement becomes even more evident in the larger context of India’s expanding presence in global management education. The QS Global MBA Rankings 2027 feature 19 India-based MBA providers, with five institutions making their debut this year. Leading this new cohort is O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU), making its historic first entry in the rankings in the 171–180 global band.

The achievement assumes particular significance as JGBS is only in the 16th year of its institutional journey, making its entry into the world’s Top 200 a remarkable recognition of the School’s growing national and global standing in management education. Notably, in its very first appearance in the rankings, JGBS has been ranked ahead of several of India’s long-established management institutions, including IIM Kozhikode, IIM Indore, IIM Lucknow and IIM Udaipur. JGU has also secured the 23rd position in Asia among 81 MBA programmes, including a strong 16th position in Asia for Employability.

The QS Global MBA Rankings evaluate programmes across five key dimensions—Employability, Thought Leadership, Diversity, Value for Money, and Alumni Outcomes.

Commenting on the historic milestone, Prof. (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor, O.P. Jindal Global University, said, “JGBS entering the world’s Top 200 business schools in its very first appearance in the QS Global MBA Rankings is a historic moment for JGU. For a business school that is only in the 16th year of its institutional journey, this is an extraordinary achievement. I would like to express our deepest gratitude to our Chancellor, Mr. Naveen Jindal, whose vision, enduring support and commitment to building a world-class university in India have enabled us to pursue excellence with ambition and purpose. This recognition belongs to our faculty, students, alumni and colleagues whose collective efforts have built JGBS into the institution it is today.”

Prof. Padmanabha Ramanujam, Dean, Academic Governance & Student Life, O.P. Jindal Global University, said, “This ranking is an important affirmation of the academic standards and institutional systems that JGBS and JGU have steadily built over the years. Our focus on rigorous academic governance, continuous benchmarking and international standards has been central to strengthening the quality and global standing of the University. This recognition encourages us to raise those standards even further.”

Prof. Mayank Dhaundiyal, Dean, Jindal Global Business School, O.P. Jindal Global University, said, “This achievement is a proud moment for the entire JGBS community. We have worked to build a business school that combines rigorous academics and research with industry engagement, experiential learning and a genuinely global outlook. Most importantly, this recognition strengthens the value of the education and opportunities we create for our students and inspires us to pursue even greater excellence in the years ahead.”

The recognition in the QS Global MBA Rankings 2027 represents another important milestone in JGBS’s journey of institution-building. The School has steadily strengthened its research ecosystem, international collaborations, industry engagement, student experience and opportunities for global learning and academic exchange. An important milestone in this journey has been the achievement of AACSB accreditation, reflecting JGBS’s commitment to internationally recognised standards of business education.

Together with its growing research impact, global partnerships and graduate outcomes, this has enabled JGBS to build a distinctive identity in management and business education in India and internationally. The achievement also reflects the collective contribution of faculty members, students, alumni, academic leadership and professional teams across JGBS and JGU.

The academic accomplishments and research of its faculty, the achievements and leadership of its students, the growing impact of its alumni and the confidence placed in its graduates by employers have collectively contributed to the School’s growing national and global reputation. With its historic debut among the Top 200 business schools in the world, JGBS marks a new chapter in its journey towards building globally recognised management education and preparing future-ready leaders for a rapidly changing and increasingly interconnected world. JGU’s continued performance across global and national rankings reflects its commitment to academic excellence, global engagement, research and transformative education.

UPSC Success Story: Farmer’s Daughter Priya Rani Quit High-Paying IT Job, Secured AIR 69 and Became IAS

Richa Barua — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 15:16:56 +0530

Many UPSC journeys turn on a single decision: to stay comfortable or to keep going. For IAS officer Priya Rani, a farmer’s daughter who rose through steady preparation and self-belief, the choice was clear. She left a high-paying IT track, climbed from AIR 284 in 2021 to AIR 69 in 2023, and is now a 2024-batch IAS officer serving in Bihar.

Born into a farmer’s family, with her father a farmer and her mother a homemaker, Priya kept a steady academic course. She earned a B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi, laying a technical foundation before turning to public service.

After engineering, she joined a multinational in Bengaluru. The role was stable and promising, yet her larger aim was the civil services. She resigned, moved to Delhi, and began full-time preparation for the UPSC Civil Services Examination.

From corporate role to UPSC

In her first attempt in 2021, Priya secured AIR 284 and was selected for the Indian Defence Estates Service (IDES). The result validated her preparation but did not replace the goal she had set.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."

Winston Churchill’s line fits the arc of Priya’s journey, which turned on the resolve to try again.

Rank leap, Bihar cadre and early priorities

Her persistence showed in 2023, when she cleared the exam again with a major rank jump to AIR 69. She was allotted the Bihar cadre, and today serves as the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Sasaram in Rohtas district.

As Sasaram SDM, she has said that people’s concerns reaching her office will be heard with sensitivity. Among her priorities are improving administrative transparency, maintaining law and order, and ensuring effective implementation of government schemes.

Priya could have stayed with a corporate career in Bengaluru or settled after AIR 284 and IDES. Instead, she kept working toward the larger aim. For aspirants, her path underlines a simple truth: a setback need not be the end if persistence, preparation, and purpose stay intact.

'Could Barely Spend Time With Child': Man in Australia Quits Big 4 Bank Job Over 'Toxic' Indian Manager

Divya Danu — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 15:30:18 +0530

Work pressure can sometimes go beyond office hours, but one Madhya Pradesh man living in Australia says the demands of his former job became so difficult that he eventually decided to quit. Ankur Sachdeva, who previously worked at one of Australia’s Big Four banks, has spoken in a video about his experience with his former manager that has now gone viral on social media.

Sachdeva alleged that his Indian manager regularly contacted him after working hours, often calling tasks 'urgent' and expecting them to be completed on the same day.

'Manager used to make my life difficult'

Recalling his time at the bank, Sachdeva said his manager would often call him after office hours with work that needed to be completed immediately.

“My manager used to make my life difficult,” he told Hindustan Times.

According to Sachdeva, his manager would tell him that a task was urgent and that he needed to finish it that day. He also alleged that he was sometimes made to do work that belonged to his manager.

He said almost everything was treated as urgent, leaving him under constant pressure to finish tasks within hours.

For Sachdeva, the biggest problem was not simply the workload. He said the long hours began affecting his personal life. He explained that he had reached a point where he could barely spend time with his family. He particularly wanted to be present for his newborn child but found it increasingly difficult because of work demands.

The situation eventually pushed him to look for another job, although he said finding one was not easy because the job market was not strong at the time.

After waiting for an opportunity, Sachdeva finally received an interview call and was selected for a new role.

He described the new position as a good opportunity and said he now works for the Australian government.

Viral story sparks mixed reactions

His story has prompted a strong response online, with many people saying they could relate to his experience. Some users praised Sachdeva for leaving an unhealthy work environment and encouraged him to create a better workplace for his own team in the future.

Others said similar experiences were not limited to Australia and claimed they had faced comparable workplace pressure in countries including the UK and India.

One commenter said employees should understand the difference between putting someone under reasonable pressure and exploiting them.

At the same time, some users joked that Sachdeva could face the same situation from his own employees now that he has moved into a new role.

'Break the chain'

Several comments focused on what Sachdeva could do differently if he becomes a manager himself. One user told him to make sure he did not treat other employees in the same way and urged him to 'break the chain'.

Another wished him well and hoped he would become a manager whom people would be happy to work with.

While the reactions varied, many viewers agreed on one point: constant after-hours work can affect more than an employee’s professional life.

'Sunday Was Just A Slower Monday': Bengaluru Founder Reveals How Four Months in ICU Changed His Life

Divya Danu — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 21:37:50 +0530

A Bengaluru entrepreneur has opened up about how spending four months in an intensive care unit completely changed the way he thinks about work, rest and the pressure of running a business. Sivaram Briyas, co-founder of MillD and founder of Briyas, shared the experience in a LinkedIn post, saying he once believed successful entrepreneurs should always be available. His message has struck a chord with many professionals discussing burnout and work-life balance.

Sundays were once just another workday

Briyas said Sundays used to feel like nothing more than a slower version of Monday. He would answer calls, visit his factory and often stay for hours after telling his family he would only be gone briefly.

"For most of my career, Sunday was just a slower Monday," he wrote.

He admitted that he even took pride in always being reachable, believing that taking a proper day off was not something entrepreneurs did.

The ICU changed his perspective

That mindset shifted after he spent four months in an ICU.

Reflecting on that period, Briyas said he received “all my off days at once”, forcing him to rethink the way he had lived and worked.

During his recovery, doctors explained that the body does not become stronger while it is under strain. Instead, healing happens during the rest that follows.

“The surgery is the damage. The healing happens in between, in the sleeping, the eating, the waiting,” he wrote.

A lesson he applied to business

Briyas said the medical advice made him realise he had never applied the same principle to business, despite spending decades in the food industry.

He now believes some of the best business ideas appear away from meeting rooms and spreadsheets.

According to him, a walk after a meeting can create clearer thinking, while watching family members during Sunday lunch can offer valuable insights into how customers actually eat.

“The greatest leaps need spaces,” he wrote.

Working harder with more purpose

Although his attitude towards rest has changed, Briyas said he has not become less committed to his work. Instead, he believes he now works with greater purpose and intention, making better use of his time rather than simply staying busy.

He also said he now protects his Sundays whenever possible, treating rest as an important part of doing meaningful work rather than a reward earned after success.

While urgent situations still arise occasionally, he said they are no longer part of his regular routine.

His story has become another reminder in the growing conversation around burnout, showing how a life-changing health experience can reshape priorities both at work and at home.

Japan's Brilliant Answer To Extreme Heat: A Giant Retractable Roof For Children's Playground | WATCH Viral Video

Divya Danu — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 14:24:52 +0530

A Japanese kindergarten has gone viral for installing a retractable roof over its outdoor play area to protect children from intense summer heat. The movable shade allows youngsters to continue playing without direct exposure to harsh sunlight.

A video showing a kindergarten in Japan using a large retractable roof to protect children from intense summer heat has gone viral, leaving social media users impressed by the simple but practical idea.

The video shows a massive shade structure being extended over an outdoor play area, allowing children to continue playing without being directly exposed to the harsh sun.

Japan experiences extremely hot and humid summers, with heatwaves becoming an increasing concern. For young children, prolonged exposure to high temperatures can make outdoor activities uncomfortable and, in some cases, dangerous.

— Massimo (@Rainmaker1973) August 29, 2026

The kindergarten's retractable roof provides shade when temperatures become unbearable. Instead of cancelling outdoor play altogether, staff can extend the covering over the playground and give children a cooler space to run and play.

The structure can reportedly be opened and closed when needed, making it a flexible solution for changing weather conditions.

The idea has caught the attention of viewers around the world, particularly those living in regions that experience severe summer heat.

The viral video sparked a flood of positive reactions on X, with many users praising Japan's practical approach to children's wellbeing.

"Simple but effective logic in operation," one user wrote.

Another commented, "They live years ahead from all of us. I am always amazed how they think. Very practical."

One person said they wished their old daycare had something similar, while another suggested such structures could also be useful in hot desert regions.

Several users also raised questions about whether smaller versions of the retractable roof could be installed in homes, schools and other public spaces.

The video also started a wider discussion about how cities and schools respond to rising temperatures.

One commenter noted that extreme heat is becoming common across the world, but outdoor play is often treated as something that can simply be cancelled rather than something worth protecting through better infrastructure.

Others suggested that similar shade systems could be installed in playgrounds, sports grounds and other open spaces.

While some pointed out that trees remain one of the best natural ways to provide shade, many viewers agreed that the retractable roof was an innovative solution for places where permanent tree cover is not possible.

When The Boss Says 'Make Yourself At Home', Literally: Startup Founder's Dinner Video Goes Viral

Divya Danu — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 20:20:57 +0530

A startup founder has won praise online after inviting around 50 employees to his home for dinner, turning what could have been a routine team gathering into an informal evening filled with jokes, food and plenty of laughter. A video shared by Vishal Singh, founder of toy brand Wish Luck, shows him hosting his employees at his house and making sure everyone feels comfortable. The gathering quickly caught attention on social media, with many viewers praising the relaxed atmosphere between the founder and his team.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Vishal Singh (@vishal.wishluck)

The video was shared with the caption 'Not Just Employees, We’re Family', with Singh saying the evening was about welcoming the entire team home and sharing a meal together. The post added that strong teams are built not only in offices but also through trust, connection and shared moments.

Founder picks up employees in his cars

The video begins with Singh taking employees to his home in his cars, including a Tesla, Audi and Toyota Fortuner.

Once they arrive, the formal office setting appears to disappear completely. Employees can be seen making themselves comfortable around the house. Some sit on sofas, while others sit on the bed or even on the floor. Singh moves around the group, chatting with employees and joking with them as dinner is served.

At one point, he tells an employee, 'Parwal kha ke dekh, sahi nahi lagega mat khana' (try the pointed gourd dish, if you don't like it you can leave it), encouraging them to try the vegetable but not forcing them to eat it.

He also tells another employee to eat properly and not hesitate.

'Kahin intern samajh ke kam khana toh nahi diya'

One particularly playful moment comes when Singh checks whether an intern has been served enough food. He asks whether the intern might have been given less food simply because he was an intern, saying, "Kahin intern samajh ke kam khana toh nahi diya gaya tumhe? (Did they feed you less just because you were an intern?)"

The founder later jokes with the entire group that they had eaten so much that there was hardly anything left for the hosts. The casual banter appears to be what made the video stand out for many viewers.

Netizens call it 'kanjak' and 'bhandara'

The unusual home gathering also triggered plenty of humorous reactions. Some viewers jokingly compared the scene to a "kanjak' or 'bhandara', largely because several employees were seen sitting on the floor while eating.

Others said the arrangement reminded them of how guests often sit comfortably on the floor during family gatherings at home.

The comments were largely warm, with several users praising what they described as the founder's friendly approach towards his employees.

'Best CEO' comments flood video

One viewer wrote that Singh's reel gave off 'positive witty vibes' and wished him success.

Another commented, 'Bhai aisa CEO maine aaj tak nahi dekha', while another called it an example of how teams and companies can grow through such interactions.

Several others called Singh a “lucky team” to work with him and praised his leadership and work culture.

Interestingly, the video also turned into an informal recruitment notice, with viewers asking Singh about openings for interns and full-time roles, including positions in AI/ML, Python, tech support and software development.

Struggling To Write A 15th August Speech? Easy Independence Day Ideas For Students

Divya Danu — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:43:21 +0530

A powerful Independence Day speech does not have to be long. Keep it short, creative and easy to understand. Add interesting facts and trivia to make your speech engaging, memorable and enjoyable for everyone. Read on for topics, ideas and tips.

Writing an Independence Day speech can feel difficult when you want to sound patriotic without repeating the same lines about freedom fighters, the Tricolour and India’s independence. For schoolchildren, the best speech is usually simple, personal and meaningful. Teachers can also use these ideas to help students prepare speeches for school assemblies, competitions and 15th August celebrations.

India celebrates Independence Day on 15 August every year, marking the country’s independence from British rule in 1947. This year, India will mark its 80th Independence Day celebration as the country completes 79 years since independence.

The first few lines matter. Instead of beginning with a long list of historical facts, students can open with a question, a thought or a short reference to freedom. For example:

"What does freedom mean to you? Is it simply the right to live independently, or is it also the responsibility to make our country better?"

Another option is to begin with a simple greeting:

"Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends, today we have gathered to celebrate a day that changed the history of India i.e.15 August."

Keep the opening short and confident.

Students can choose a topic according to their age and speaking ability. Some useful Independence Day speech topics are:

The importance of Independence Day
The sacrifices of India’s freedom fighters
What freedom means to young Indians
India’s journey from 1947 to today
The role of students in nation-building
Unity in diversity
My vision for India
Freedom and responsibility
How young people can serve the nation

For younger children, “Why We Celebrate Independence Day” is easier. Older students can explore topics such as democracy, equality, responsible citizenship and India’s future.

Leave you audience with some thoughts. A good speech should teach the audience something. India became independent on 15 August 1947, following a long freedom struggle involving leaders, movements and ordinary citizens across the country - everyone knows this, but tell your audience with a trivia or historical fact that may leave a lasting impact.

Students can also mention Jawaharlal Nehru's famous 'Tryst with Destiny' speech, delivered during the midnight session of the Constituent Assembly on 14-15 August 1947.

However, do not overload the speech with dates and names. Two or three accurate facts are more than enough.

The conclusion should connect freedom with responsibility. Students can talk about respecting others, protecting public spaces, studying sincerely, helping people and contributing positively to society.

A strong ending could be:

"Our freedom was won by the generations before us. Our responsibility is to protect it and build an India that future generations can be proud of. Jai Hind!"

Quick tips for students and teachers

Keep it short: A two- to three-minute speech is easier to remember and deliver well.

Use simple English: Clear words are more effective than complicated vocabulary.

Practise aloud: Students should practise pronunciation, pauses and eye contact rather than simply memorising every sentence.

Sound natural: A speech should feel like a student is talking to the audience, not reading an essay.

End confidently: Look up, pause and deliver the final line clearly.

For teachers, one useful approach is to encourage students to connect the meaning of freedom with their own lives. That makes an Independence Day speech more thoughtful, relatable and memorable.

Delhi's Class 7 Girl Falls Ill, Spends Months in Hospital, Dies: Her Family Seeks Answers From Her School

Divya Danu — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 13:54:39 +0530

Parents and local residents staged a protest outside a government school in Delhi's East Vinod Nagar after the death of a Class 7 student. The student's family alleging that harassment and negligence by teachers had contributed to her deteriorating condition. The girl, a student of Sarvodaya Balika Vidyalaya in East Vinod Nagar, died in hospital on August 27 after undergoing treatment for nearly two to three months, according to claims shared by her family.

Reports claimed that the girl was punished by teacher who allegedly asked her to stand outside the class in Sun.

The case has triggered outrage and raised serious questions about student safety and accountability in schools. The family has alleged that the girl was repeatedly harassed and physically punished by a teacher. They claimed that the alleged treatment affected her mental health and pushed her into severe depression, after which she required hospitalisation.

However, the allegations have not yet been independently established and the school's version of events differs from that of the family.

Teachers deny allegations, say family was informed

According to statements shared during the controversy, school staff have denied abandoning the child or ignoring the situation. Teachers reportedly said that they had called the student's family and handed the girl over to them when concerns arose.

The family, however, has accused teachers of negligence and demanded a proper investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child's illness and subsequent death.

The matter remains highly sensitive, particularly because it involves a minor student. Any conclusions regarding the exact cause of her medical condition or death will depend on official findings and any investigation conducted by the concerned authorities.

Political row erupts as Saurabh Bharadwaj reacts

AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj also reacted to the incident on social media, sharing the family's allegations and demanding accountability over student safety in Delhi government schools.

His post triggered strong reactions online, with several users expressing shock and anger over the student's death. Some demanded a thorough investigation, while others questioned whether schools have adequate systems to identify and address the emotional distress of children.

The incident has once again brought attention to student welfare and mental health support in educational institutions.

Recent debates around school safety have increased calls for stronger grievance systems, counselling support and quicker intervention when students show signs of distress.

22-Year Wait Ends: Son Helps 45-Year-Old Deaf Mother Clear Class 10 With 82%

Divya Danu — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 20:32:06 +0530

At 45, Renu Hans has achieved something she had once feared was beyond her reach. More than two decades after she first appeared for her Class 10 examination, the Kashmiri Pandit woman has cleared it with 82%. Renu, who is deaf and non-speaking, had to leave formal education behind after her first attempt. But the dream of studying further and getting a job stayed with her. This time, she did not return to the classroom alone. Her only son, Naman Koul, a Class 12 Science student, helped her prepare for the examination while managing his own studies.

Renu's unfinished dream gets a second chance

Renu had appeared for her Class 10 examination before getting married but could not clear it. Her education then came to a stop.

Years later, Naman felt that his mother deserved an opportunity to complete what she had started.

“I felt that my mother should not be confined to the house. If she studies, she can move forward in life,” he told news agency PTI.

He said his mother had always wanted to study and find a good job, and completing Class 10 was an important first step towards that goal.

The family lives in a government flat in Lower Roop Nagar on the outskirts of Jammu. They had migrated from Chawalgam village in south Kashmir's Kulgam district during the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits in the early 1990s.

Son helps mother study while preparing for Class 12

Getting Renu registered for the examination was not easy. Naman initially knew little about the scheme that could allow her to appear again.

When he approached the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education, he was reportedly told that the scheme had been discontinued. He kept following developments and eventually managed to register her for the biannual examination held in April.

Once she was registered, mother and son worked out a study routine around Naman's own Class 12 preparation.

He set aside study hours for his mother in the evening and helped clear her doubts at night after finishing his schoolwork.

For Renu, even entering the examination centre was a new experience after such a long gap. She was nervous when she saw candidates from different age groups.

“She was a little scared because there were students much younger than her, as well as older candidates. But with time, she settled down and became comfortable,” Naman said.

Communication was never a barrier

Naman has grown up communicating with his parents through gestures. His father, Bablu Koul, is also deaf and non-speaking and works from home as a tailor.

Naman said he gradually learnt to understand his parents with help from his maternal grandparents and aunt.

His father also supported Renu's decision to resume her education. According to Naman, Bablu encouraged his wife to consider working and assured her that he would support her.

The family's financial circumstances have been modest, but Renu and Bablu supported their son's education. Years later, Naman returned that support by helping his mother with hers.

'Just Let Me Pass Today': Bengaluru Woman's Corporate Life Anxiety Video Goes Viral (WATCH)

Divya Danu — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 20:51:13 +0530

Do you ever feel that the school is over, but the feeling of constantly being tested apparently has not left yet? A Bengaluru-based woman, Charu Gupta, has struck a chord with social media users after comparing corporate life to an endless examination that restarts every Monday. Gupta, who has been working for three years, shared a video describing the strange similarity between school life and the daily pressure of a full-time job.

A post shared by Charu Gupta (@the_miss_gupta)

'Just let me pass today somehow'

In the video, Gupta said that despite leaving school years ago, she still feels as if she is constantly sitting for an exam.

“It’s been three years since I’ve been working at a job, but even today I feel like I’m in school and my exams are going on,” she said.

She explained that every working day feels like another test she simply has to survive.

Her thought process, she said, often sounds something like this: just get through today somehow, let the office day end, and then prepare better for tomorrow.

For Gupta, unfinished tasks feel much like the homework and assignments that used to follow students home after school.

The weekend dilemma many workers know well

The comparison becomes even more relatable when the weekend arrives.

Gupta said she often enters Saturday with a long list of pending tasks and decides not to make plans because she needs to finish them.

But, as she admitted with brutal honesty, she does not end up doing the work either.

Instead, the entire weekend passes in an uncomfortable middle ground. She cannot properly relax because the pending work is constantly on her mind, yet she continues to put it off.

The anxiety builds until Sunday night, when the approaching Monday finally forces her to open her laptop and complete only the most urgent tasks.

She then shuts it down and hopes she will somehow manage to get through another working day.

'I thought I was the only one'

Her video quickly attracted comments from employees who said the experience was painfully familiar.

“I thought I am the only one,” wrote one user.

Another person said they had worked for four years and still felt exactly the same way. One comment that drew attention came from a manager who admitted, “Bro I’m the manager and I feel the same.”

Several others spoke about the particular comfort of Saturday because, unlike Sunday, it does not yet come with the pressure of Monday morning.

Some users joked that corporate life is exactly like an examination, except employees are allowed to ask colleagues for help.

Gupta’s video appears to have resonated because it captures a feeling many workers quietly live with: the constant pressure of unfinished tasks and the inability to switch off completely.

Naiyya Saggi: One Career Move Left Her Grandfather Silent for 3 Months! Read Details

Indrakshi Samanta — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 23:18:56 +0530

Naiyya Saggi, the entrepreneur behind 'BabyChakra', recently shared a personal story about how her grandfather gave her the silent treatment for three months. The reason? She decided to move back to India after finishing her studies at Harvard, instead of settling abroad.

She opened up about this experience while talking to content creator Viraj Ala. Her grandfather was apparently protesting her decision to give up opportunities in the US and return to India.

Naiyya has a pretty impressive educational background. She holds a BA LLB from the National Law School of India University and an MBA from Harvard Business School, which she attended on a full Fulbright - J.N. Tata scholarship. She mentioned that the scholarship covered all her expenses at Harvard.

After finishing her studies at Harvard, Naiyya worked as a consultant at 'The Bridgespan Group' for about a year before returning to India in 2015. "I came back to change the world. I returned to India in 2015, built my first company here, and now I'm busy building my third," Naiyya said.

Inspired by the difficulties her sister faced during pregnancy, Naiyya Saggi founded 'BabyChakra' in 2015. In 2021, BabyChakra merged with MyGlamm, and she went on to become a co-founder of 'The Good Glamm Group' along with Priyanka Gill and Darpan Sanghavi. Currently, she is working on building a new consumer tech company called 'EDT'.

She clarified that she doesn't come from a super-rich family and that her parents were government employees. However, her decision to leave behind a promising life abroad for India was tough for some family members to digest, particularly her grandfather. "When I came back to India in 2015, my grandfather didn't speak to me for three months. He kept asking why I would give up a golden opportunity, a job, and a full scholarship in the US just to come back and start a business in India," Naiyya shared.

Today, the companies she has built are valued at over $1 billion. Naiyya strongly believes that Indian entrepreneurs and their teams can build huge, globally impactful companies right from India.

Bright Side Stories: This Rajasthan School Has Its Own Newspaper, And Students Run It

Divya Danu — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 16:24:25 +0530

A government school in Rajasthan's Tonk district has found an unusual way to bring newspapers closer to children in a rural area. PM Shri Government Senior Secondary School in Raholi publishes its own newspapers in Hindi and English, giving students a chance to learn journalism by actually doing the work. The Hindi newspaper is called 'Raholi Shiksha Samachar', while its English edition is 'Raholi Education Times'. Both are published in print and online.

Students run the newsroom

The newspapers are largely produced by students from Classes 10 to 12. From collecting information to taking photographs, recording videos and conducting interviews, students take part in almost every stage of the process. They also write and edit stories, prepare graphics and work on page layouts.

Some students work as reporters, while others take on roles such as photographers, graphic designers, news writers and editorial assistants.

Teachers remain involved as guides and mentors, helping students understand how journalism works and checking the content before publication.

An editorial board has also been formed to oversee the newspaper. It includes school principal Dr Yogendra Singh Naruka, teacher Pooja Patidar and selected students.

The idea came from a simple problem

Naruka, who has studied journalism, told news agency PTI that he noticed a lack of newspapers in many students' homes after taking charge of the school in Raholi. He also felt that the achievements and activities taking place at the school were not getting enough attention from larger newspapers.

He recalled that whenever a school achievement was covered in a newspaper, students would repeatedly read the report, show it to their classmates and feel proud.

That experience gave him the idea of creating a newspaper within the school itself.

First issue published in 2023

Before starting the newspaper, the school had published a book based on its three-year development plan during the 2022 academic session. After that effort, the first issue of Raholi Shiksha Samachar was published in 2023. Naruka initially paid for it himself. Teachers later came forward to support the project, helping the newspaper continue regularly.

The print edition is published monthly, quarterly or on special occasions, depending on the time and funds available.

Teachers fund the newspaper

The school does not receive separate government funding for the newspaper. According to Naruka, teachers voluntarily contribute towards its printing and distribution. Copies are then given to students free of cost.

The newspaper covers a wide range of subjects, including school activities, academics, sports, cultural events, social issues, environmental work and student innovations.

For the students involved, the project offers more than just something to read.

It gives them a chance to ask questions, find stories, work as a team and understand how news is created. It also allows them to see their own achievements in print.

In a school where many children had limited access to newspapers at home, the initiative has turned the school itself into a small newsroom — and its students into the people telling its stories.

'Every App Is A Dating App': Woman's Unexpected LinkedIn Marriage Proposal Leaves Internet Amused

Divya Danu — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 20:34:42 +0530

A woman named Mudrika Kavdia has gone viral after posting about an unusual LinkedIn DM. In a post on X, she wrote that she never expected LinkedIn to become a place where she would receive a marriage proposal. But a message from a woman looking for a suitable bride for her son has turned into a talking point on social media.

Mudrika shared a screenshot of the message on X, saying she was not expecting a mother to approach her on LinkedIn while searching for a bride for her son. In the message, the woman addressed Mudrika as 'beta' and congratulated her before explaining why she had contacted her.

She said she was looking for a suitable bride aged between 24 and 29 for her son, who was born in 1997, has a PhD in Biomedical Sciences and is settled in the US.

The woman said she had started looking on her own and wanted to know whether Mudrika was single, engaged or married. She added that, if Mudrika was open to it, they could exchange information with her or her parents. The polite and straightforward nature of the message made the post even more amusing for many users.

'Every app is a dating app'

The post quickly attracted a range of reactions, with several users joking about LinkedIn entering the matchmaking space. One user quipped, “Every app is a dating app if you're Indian enough,” while another joked that LinkedIn had “everything” now.

Another user said the mother appeared to be sweet and argued that using any platform for such a message was not necessarily wrong as long as it was private and respectful. Some users also shared their own experiences. One person recalled receiving a marriage proposal from a woman on LinkedIn who had moved to the UK for her Master's degree and was settled there.

Many users found the message 'cute'

Not everyone thought the unusual approach was strange. Several commenters described the message as cute, polite or even heartwarming.

One user shared that he and his wife are both doctors and childhood sweethearts, adding that their mothers had once made a similar approach through their families. Another commenter suggested that the mother may not have specifically been searching for brides on LinkedIn. Instead, she may have come across Mudrika's profile or post, liked what she saw and decided to reach out.

Some users raised scam concerns

While most reactions were light-hearted, a few users urged Mudrika to be cautious. Some wondered whether the message could be a scam or whether someone might have created the account while pretending to be the mother.

Others simply joked about what could happen next, with one user asking whether the mystery mother might move to X after seeing Mudrika's post.

The post has ultimately opened up a humorous conversation about how professional networking platforms are increasingly being used for purposes far beyond jobs and careers.

For Mudrika, however, the unexpected LinkedIn message has certainly made for an unusual social media story.

'These Are Not Just Gifts, They Are Love': Teacher Touches Students' Simple Presents To His Forehead In Viral Video

Divya Danu — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 14:26:12 +0530

A teacher’s Day celebration at a school in Rajasthan has won hearts online for all the right reasons. Instead of expensive presents, students gifted their teacher simple things from their homes, including a milk bottle, sponge gourd, lemons, pens and handmade cards made from pages of their school notebooks. The teacher shared the video on social media with an emotional caption in Hindi, saying that the respect and love shown by his students made him feel as though God himself had come to spread happiness on Earth.

From vegetables to handmade cards

The video shows students presenting their Teacher’s Day gifts one by one. The presents are strikingly simple, with several appearing to be everyday household items rather than something bought specially for the occasion.

Among the gifts were a bottle of milk, sponge gourd, some lemons and pens. Students also made cards using sheets from their school notebooks, adding a personal touch to the celebration.

For many viewers, however, it was the teacher’s reaction to the gifts that made the video particularly touching.

Teacher touches every gift to his forehead

As his students handed him their presents, the teacher was seen touching each one to his forehead before accepting it.

The gesture was widely interpreted by viewers as a sign of gratitude, affection and respect for the children and their families. Rather than focusing on the monetary value of the presents, the teacher appeared to value the feelings behind them.

The simple exchange struck a chord with social media users, many of whom said the video captured the special bond between a teacher and his students.

'These are not things, they are love'

The comments section was filled with praise for both the students and their teacher.

One user recalled taking homemade items to their own teacher, writing that the video had brought back memories of an earlier time.

Another praised the teacher for placing the gifts respectfully against his forehead, saying the gesture showed that he was truly a good teacher.

Some viewers suggested that the teacher may have asked his students not to buy anything and instead bring whatever was available at home. They described the idea as a thoughtful way of celebrating Teacher’s Day without putting financial pressure on families.

Several users highlighted the children’s background, with one comment noting that they were children of poor farmers and had offered what they could with respect and affection.

“Organic gifts” and “Better than materialistic gifts” were among the reactions from viewers who appreciated the simplicity of the presents.

For others, the video served as a reminder that a meaningful gift does not have to be expensive. In this case, a few everyday items and handmade cards became a heartfelt expression of gratitude between students and their teacher.
