New Delhi [India], January 12: Union Minister of Education Shri Dharmendra Pradhan met 43 authors identified as part of PM-YUVA 3.0 at the New Delhi World Book Fair 2026 and turned what could have been a perfunctory appearance into a wake-up call on where India is heading in its knowledge economy. Not a Ceremony, but a Conversation This was not a one-way speech. It was a conversation. The selected PM-YUVA 3.0 authors presented brief overviews of their manuscripts at Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya in New Delhi.

New Delhi [India], January 12: India’s education sector is undergoing a period of rapid change. Rising competition, increasing student acquisition costs, fragmented digital journeys, and underutilised data systems have made enrolment growth significantly more complex for universities and edtech companies alike. While many institutions invest in marketing and technology, the gap between strategy and execution continues to limit outcomes. It is within this context that UniBridge Consulting has announced its entry into the education consulting space. With a focus on addressing one of the sector’s most persistent challenges, Unibridge turns intent, data, and strategy into measurable enrolment outcomes. Rather than…
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 12: By 2026, India’s tutoring debate has changed. It’s no longer about how big an edtech studio is or how many videos it has for a mass livestream class. It’s about one-to-one personal attention, who actually gets taught, and who gets lost. Today’s exam-prep edtech livestreams often teach tens of thousands of students at once. That scale comes with a clear cost: most students are never spoken to, never individually tracked, and never corrected in a way that fits how they think. Chats and polls keep viewers busy but not personal. Online personal tutoring services do offer that…
New Delhi [India], January 10: When S Krishnan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), recently inaugurated PARAM SHAKTI at IIT Madras, it was not the customary ribbon-cutting ceremony but a bold statement of India becoming more technologically empowered. PARAM SHAKTI is not just another supercomputer. It is built on homegrown hardware, based on C-DAC RUDRA servers, and operates on an indigenous software stack using the open-source AlmaLinux. It can perform 3.1 quadrillion calculations per second—yes, quadrillion, with a capital Q. It is not a flashy technological flaunt. It is an Indian science turbocharger. Researchers in…

New Delhi [India], January 9: India has the first human spaceflight programme called the Gaganyaan Mission. Its objective is precise. Introduce Indian astronauts into the low Earth orbit of approximately 400 kilometres. Have three days with them. Return them to the safety of the Indian sea. No shortcuts. No borrowed rockets. No shared flags. It has been made clear by the ISRO Chairman, S Somanath. This mission is concerning the ability to show. In case successful, India is a member of an exclusive club. This has not been done previously except by the Soviet Union, the United States, and China. This is not symbolism. This is systems engineering. Why 2026…
New Delhi [India], January 9: India’s heritage has come back after 127 years. That statement demands context, depth, and accuracy. This is not a feel-good headline. It is civilisational restitution. The Piprahwa Relics: Where the Story Begins The Piprahwa relics were first discovered in 1898 by British engineer William Claxton Peppé at the ancient Piprahwa stupa in today’s Siddharthnagar district of Uttar Pradesh.The site lies close to ancient Kapilavastu, widely regarded as the childhood home of Gautama Buddha. These were not ornaments. They were reliquaries. The discovery included crystal caskets, garnet and gold ornaments, and charred human remains, marked by…
New Delhi [India], January 6: On January 5 and 6, 2026, the IndiaAI Mission, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the Government of Assam and IIT Guwahati held a two-day Human Capital Working Group meeting. On paper, it appeared as yet another policy consultation. At ground level, it was a fresh start. It did not involve selling AI as a silver bullet. It was about asking embarrassing questions. Who benefits from AI? Who gets displaced? Who gets left behind when there is not enough speed, and who gets trampled when there are no guardrails? The discussions will directly contribute…
New Delhi [India], January 5: If you were looking for an announcement that sounds like it came out of a Tony Stark tech reveal, but with cricket whites instead of armour, you found it. On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India is preparing with full strength to host the 2036 Olympic Games — and he didn’t just speak the words, he backed them up with a sports strategy that reads like a master class on momentum. Speaking at the opening of the 72nd Senior National Volleyball Championship in Varanasi, Modi didn’t waste time on clichés. He laid it out bluntly: India…
