Rankpedia is a movement. A revolutionary perspective of bridging the digital divide that has crept up in the Indian education ecosystem with the EdTech boom. Rankpedia is a calling to reach out to all students in the country and across the world to provide education with world-class quality standards. It is nestled in the hands of passionate educators who have the same vision as Rankpedia. It started with a simple thought of ‘Why can’t world-class education be affordable?’. This thought embedded a seed in our mind and gave us a vision of providing education to children at an affordable price without compromising on the quality and the diversity that they deserve. We have walked on a path to deliver world-class education by integrating pedagogy and the latest technological advancements to offer the best opportunities to students.

The Managing Director and the spirit of Rankpedia, Mr. Ravi Kumar, had the vision and a passion to bring this movement into action that had the potential to make a change. Having seen both sides of the education ecosystem of the country where kids in rural areas did not have the access to basic education at affordable prices and on the other side, kids in urbanized cities having the luxury of quality education and good schools, somewhat gave him the nudge to create the change that Rankpedia focuses on i.e., Sustainability, Affordability and Reach of education to every kid of the country. Building Rankpedia on the right pillars to support this entire idea and process, he brought in three core members who would drive his vision into the actual reality of improving education availability and quality in different verticals.

Dr. Madhukar Angur, having been a seasoned educator and professor with over 40 years of experience was nominated twice for the Carnegie Foundation Professor of the Year Award. In 1997, he was recognized by the Michigan Association of University Governing Boards as a Distinguished Michigan Professor. Dr. Angur holds a Ph.D. from the University of Texas, Arlington, USA; (PGDM) from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India. He is on our advisory board to help shape out the ethos of the organization. In a new movement like ours, there are times when we need someone to show us the path and Dr. Madhukar has been the person we turn to when we need guidance.  Dr. Angur is the recipient of the David M. French Distinguished Professorship—A Lifetime Achievement Award from the University of Michigan.

Mr. A.V. Srinivas with over 20 years of experience in the I.T./ Education Industry has been the core of the organization in driving the healthy work culture at Rankpedia, looking at the overall day-to-day output to align with the goals of the company and optimize the productivity to the maximum peaks. He connects the departments within the organization to keep the brainstorming culture flowing right through the workspace. He genuinely believes in the power that educators hold and has been instrumental in making sure that the organization understands, respects the teachers and the work they do.

Mr. Karandeep Singh, The Chief Academic Officer at Rankpedia, after completing his Masters from Oxford University, PGDM from Harvard University and DELTA from Cambridge University, holds over 20 years of leadership experience in the K-12 and EdTech sector, and has been given the title of ‘The Architect of Rankpedia’. He has had a stronghold on shaping the pedagogy of Rankpedia and has also defined the experiential mode of education which creates a strong practical-based outcome assessment model. Coming from a Sound Engineering and Post-Production background, he has been able to bridge education and production in the EdTech industry to cater to the creativity and innovation for both verticals. The industry has respected his work by awarding him with ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ for two consecutive years. Having been featured in Forbes and Fortune Magazine has given him a stronghold in the Innovative Education Sector.

Being an organization with a futuristic vision, Rankpedia aligns with the National Education Policy that was rolled out in 2020 i.e., NEP enabled EdTech. At the same time, Rankpedia is expanding into verticals like E-schooling, where they would be working with renowned boards like The Cambridge IGCSE Board, Discovery Education, and American High Schools. We started with a small idea that turned into a movement and has taken shape as a tangible reality that is only going to expand and revolutionize the education culture in the country.

The rising singer shares a few methods for other budding musical artists to kickstart their careers in the competitive industry.

There are tons of talented beings in the world across industries and sectors, and out of these, a few of them ensure to ignite the fire within others to take the first step towards fulfilling their dreams and aspirations in their careers and lives. To hold so much influence on others and attain a position that can inspire many others across the world is something a few extraordinary talents have attained. These talented beings crossed boundaries for attaining such high levels of excellence in their fields, which essentially made them inspiring figures across industries. The music space in India is filled with so many of such influential personalities, who have not only tried to create a flourishing career for themselves but have also made sure to motivate people to believe in what they do and step into the industry anyway, without fearing about the growing competition and saturation. Chetan Dhir’s name tops the list when people talk about influential success stories in the world of music.

The canorous voice of this young gentleman in the field has connected so deeply with listeners that today people feel compelled to listen to him more and get transported into a different world with him for experiencing the vibe and the emotions he wants them to feel. He followed his instincts on his journey and therefore could create the success he enjoys today as a supremely talented singer and musical artist. Below, Chetan Dhir points out a few methods that can help budding singing stars to kickstart their career in the industry.

• Believe in the power of your dreams: Some people do not take their dreams seriously, thinking they will never be able to attain them. However, Chetan Dhir wants people to first believe in their dreams and, most importantly, in themselves to get ahead on their path.
• Improve your craft: It is essential for musicians, singers and artists to understand the power of constant learnings. When people learn things every day and keep sharpening their skills and talents consistently, they go ahead in improving their craft as singers, performers and artists, says Chetan Dhir. For that, people can also get high-quality singing lessons, learn from the established names of the industry, and listen to different genres of music of different artists of the world.
• Perfect a particular genre: Becoming a singer doesn’t mean that individuals have to perfect every genre possible. Some people may be better at a particular genre. They must better their craft and become a perfectionist in the same, advises Chetan Dhir. This helps them attain expertise as well.
• Embrace criticism: The world of music is a highly competitive space, where there are thousands of talented beings. Audiences can never like each and every artist in the industry. They may always have their few favourites and some they may not like. Artists may not always receive appreciation for their work; they may be brutally trolled or criticized as well. However, Chetan Dhir suggests new talents to embrace criticism and see it in a positive light to work around those shortcomings and become better each day.

Getting into the music industry can be a tough call for many as most of them may fear the competition they may face, and some others may not be confident enough about their musical talents. But Chetan Dhir says that to reach somewhere, people need to leave their comfort zones, get on the ground to face all these challenges and practice consistently and endlessly to reach their desired success as singers and artists.

Having a zero tolerance policy towards terror, the Modi government is continually taking efforts to maintain peace and harmony in the country. “We should not be satisfied till total peace is achieved”, Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed on Monday.

Amit Shah spent the night at CRPF campus post his three day visit to Jammu and Kashmir.  The campus is located in Lethpora in Pulwama where a suicide car bomb attack by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists in February 2019 had left 40 paramilitary personnel dead.

“I want to spend one night with you people and understand your problems,” Mr Shah said addressing the security personnel at the CRPF campus, adding it was his “most important” engagement during his visit to the Union territory.

The condition of Jammu and Kashmir has been improved a lot under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.  Mr Shah further said, “we will be able to realise a peaceful Jammu and Kashmir as envisaged by Prime Minister Modi during our lifetime”.

“Stone-pelting incidents are only seen when we try to look for them. There was a time when stone pelting was common in Kashmir. Such incidents have decreased to a huge extent. But, I want to say that there is no need to be satisfied,” Shah said.

“Narendra Modi government has a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism. We cannot bear it. It is against humanity. It should be our priority to save the people of Kashmir from the persons who are linked to this heinous crime against humanity,” he said.

The Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his gratitude to the security forces and CRPF personnel to keep people’s safety at the topmost priority and ensure that no one is harmed    after Article 370 was revoked in August 2019.

“There are many changes that are happening on the development front, in infrastructure, industrial and education sectors because the Army and CRPF are ensuring that all sinister designs are defeated,” Shah said.

Amit Shah said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are satisfied with the revocation of Article 370. 

“It was possible as well, that perhaps there could have been bloodshed, but today I have come here to tell you and tell you freely that because of your alertness not a single shot was fired. It is a huge thing for us”.

“The alertness with which 28,000 jawans and also J-K policemen worked after a major decision was taken in national and J-K”s interest, no blood was shed and a new era of development was started in Kashmir,”” he said.

“All the forces here have taken care of the law and order situation in a right manner. So, as the country”s Home Minister, I thank you for the good work,” he said.

Narendra Modi has stood out with his revolutionary mission of taking the country to the top. With his mission he has been able to maintain peace and harmony in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. 

“It is a very important programme for me to be with the forces whether the Army, BSF, CRPF or SSB who are protecting every last inch of the border. This is the last programme of my J-K visit and I can say without any doubt that it is the most important programme,” he said.

“Today we are at sixth position and I am sure that by 2024 we will reach the third position,” Amit Shah said.

The Union Home Minister expressed that he is grateful to spend a night with the CRPF jawans at the campus in  Lethpora in Pulwama.

In China, where 76 percent of the population has been completely vaccinated and officials maintain a zero-tolerance stance against outbreaks, children as young as three will begin receiving COVID-19 shots. In the last few days, local city and provincial governments in at least five provinces have issued letters requiring children aged 3 to 11 to obtain their vaccines.

The vaccine effort is being expanded as sections of China impose tighter restrictions in an attempt to contain tiny outbreaks. Following the discovery of new COVID-19 cases in Gansu, a north-western region that is heavily reliant on tourism, the province banned all tourist destinations on Monday. In some sections of Inner Mongolia, residents have been told to move. Over the last 24 hours, the National Health Commission recorded 35 new cases of local transmission, four of which were in Gansu. Another 19 cases were discovered in Inner Mongolia, with more distributed throughout the country.

Throughout the epidemic, China has used lockdowns, quarantines, and mandatory testing to largely eradicate local infection while fully vaccination 1.07 billion individuals out of a population of 1.4 billion. Based on public statistics, China’s most extensively used vaccinations, from Sinopharm and Sinovac, have shown efficacy in reducing serious sickness and virus transmission. However, the level of security they provide against the delta form has yet to be determined, despite officials’ assurances.

Individual cities in Hubei, Fujian, and Hainan provinces have all issued provincial-level notices announcing new vaccine mandates, as have individual cities in Zhejiang and Hunan provinces. China licenced two vaccinations for children aged 3 to 17 in June, Sinopharm’s from the Beijing Institute of Biological Products and Sinovac, but it has only been vaccinating those children.

STEM is not just an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, but an educational methodology that integrates all these subjects. STEM education lays emphasis on preparing future generations to be curious, logical, analytical, observant and pragmatic. The skills gained from STEM education extend beyond those needed to be successful in the STEM fields – they prepare children with varied interests, who move into any industry with valuable skill sets that allow them to be successful.

At ITM Global School in Gwalior, it has been observed that STEM education brings about a paradigm shift in early learning and aims at sustaining the curiosity and genius streak in the kids throughout their growing years. As one strolls through ITM Global, the only Cambridge curriculum school in Gwalior, and one of the best CBSE schools in town, one realizes how it has adopted various modes of modern technology for imparting education that focuses on the logical thought processes and problem-solving skills, thus allowing students to develop the kind of creative and logical mental ability which helps them succeed in every field. 

The School has fully equipped laboratories dedicated towards all the STEM subjects. Set within a lush green 150 acre campus, and surrounded by the verdant green hills, the architecturally splendid ITM Global School has high-tech and fully-furnished Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and ICT Labs, as per the very specifications laid by the Central Board of Secondary Education and the Cambridge Assessment International Education.

As the School coordinates with the Science Olympiad Foundation, the students regularly get the opportunity to participate in the National Science Olympiad and the International Mathematics Olympiad. Besides this, the students get to showcase their scientific talent at the School’s own annual Science fair, IGNITE. Projects by students of the School, like the one by Aayush Bhattacharjee got selected for the CBSE Inspire Award. The teachers at ITM Global not only focus on developing the scientific attitude in the students, but are equally concerned about the safety of the students. 

The school has trained Lab Assistants and helpers for labelling the names, purchase dates, and expiration date of the chemicals on the containers. The school building has maintained an Annual Inventory of the laboratory chemicals along with Materials Safety Data Sheets. The chemicals are kept under lock and key. They are stored on a non-corrodible surface within cabinets or storage shelves. Flammable or corrosive chemicals are placed in cabinets designed for this purpose.  Chemical storage rooms in the Chemistry Laboratory are locked and have a ventilation purge fan (for air changes per hour) for the outside air. 

The pedagogical leaders at ITM Global have always favoured the integration of ICT with standard pedagogical practices, as it improves engagement with and retention of knowledge. When ICT is integrated into lessons, students become more engaged in their work. The School has incorporated advanced technology in its premises for facilitating the students. Teachers use Smart Boards and LCD Projectors for making their classes audio-visual – this helps the students in organizing and assimilating the ideas with ease. Teachers prepare PowerPoint presentations, and use audio-visual clips and multimedia presentations through the Smartboards and Projectors. 

As a part of the STEM curriculum, Robotics has been introduced from the primary classes for making the students aware about the combination of computer programming and algorithms, the remotely-controlled manipulator, actuators, control systems – action, processing and perception – real-time sensors and an element of automation which helps to inform what a robot or robotic system does. Students of ITM Global have worked on various projects like Bell Ringing System using Sensors, Automatic Water Overflow Detection System, LED Lights Series, Linear Detection-based Robots, Obstacle Detection-based Robots and countless other projects.

The ITM Global School provides opportunities to the students to verify mathematical facts physically and to develop a multisensory approach. The Mathematics Lab is a place where students get to interact with Mind Games, Puzzles and various other analytical learning tools. A walk around the Mathematics Lab reveals that it is further equipped with computers for utilizing technology for the learning process.

The Geography Lab at ITM Global plays a pivotal role in enriching the geographical base of the students. The lab is well equipped with a series of maps, topographic sheets and a variety of survey equipment like the tracing table, thermometers, barometers, magnetic compasses, globes, standard time indicators and wet and dry bulb thermometers. Field trips are organised for the students to study the natural occupancy of various facts and inform about physical changes with the help of Global positioning system and Geographic information system available on the Net. 

What distinguishes the vision of ITM Global School is that it had its own LMS (Learning Management System), a software application used for planning, implementing and assessing the learning process within its system way ahead of most other schools. This proved to be a boon during the pandemic as it helped each and every student to continue with their learning with the help of Live Lessons, Explanation Videos, PDFs of Books, Worksheets, Quizzes and various other resources. The School also has an educational ERP system that provides easy and quick access to information. This helps the management to consider and analyze various aspects of the institution faster, leading to growth in planning capabilities.
