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.

Visuals of firecrackers being busted in a few pockets of India started to pour in as soon as the Indian Cricket Team was defeated by Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. Former Indian Cricketers Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag hit out at those people for their anti-India move.

Twitter and other social media platforms were flooded with videos of people celebrating India’s defeat against cricketing rival Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. People from a few pockets across the country were seen bursting crackers after the match. This drew a huge criticism from Netzines and several social media users even demanded strictest action against these people.

Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag took to Twitter to allege firecrackers were burst in ‘parts of India’ after the team’s loss against Pakistan on Sunday. Sehwag took a dig at fans celebrating Pakistan’s victory and also aimed a swipe at those urging people to not burst crackers during Diwali but are resorting to burning crackers over a cricket match. Sehwag, taking it to Twitter wrote, “Firecrackers are banned during Diwali but yesterday in parts of India there were firecrackers to celebrate Pakistan‘s victory. Achha they must have been celebrating victory of cricket. Toh, what’s the harm in fireworks on Diwali.”

Sehwag’s tweet rapidly created a buzz among the Twitterati and a huge section of people praised him for raising the issue without mincing his words. People supported him for criticising the hypocrisy over the burning of firecrackers during Diwali while others suggested there was no need for the former cricketer to share the tweet.

Soon after India faced a defeat at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the streets of the National Capital along with several cities witnessed a shocking turn of events, with several people bursting crackers to celebrate Pakistan’s win and India’s defeat. Despite a blanket ban of crackers, people sitting in their homes could hear the sound of crackers. Celebrations also erupted in PoK, where some people could not hold their excitement as Pakistan managed to win a cricket match against India. Slogans were also chanted stating, “Pakistan Zindabad, Pakistan Meri Jaan”. Some videos also came to light where people were seen raising Pakistani flags.

Joining his former on-field partner, Gautam Gambhir, on Monday, also criticised those bursting firecrackers after Pakistan’s win against India in the T20 World Cup match on Sunday, October 24. His remarks come after ex-cricketer Virender Sehwag alleged that crackers were burst in parts of India following Pakistan’s victory. In a tweet, using the ‘Shameful’ hashtag, Gambhir said, “Those bursting crackers on Pak winning can’t be Indian! We stand by our boys!”

As per ‘unconfirmed reports’, government has invoked it’s recent order which reads, ‘extra territorial loyalty at the cost of the Indian Union would be factored in while deciding right to opportunity in India or government funded public employment’. Identification of trouble mongers has already begun and they ‘might’ face a cancelation of their admission. The girl who was seen shouting anti-India slogans standing on a table in a video that went viral has been identified as Arifa Asfand, a MBBS student of 2017 batch. She is likely to face disqualification as per the government sources.

As of now, most of the videos trending on the social media wherein people in Kashmir were seen celebrating Pakistan’s victory are from 2017. Only two videos- SKIMS hostel and GMC girls hostel celebratory videos have been found real and verified and Police is on job to nab the offenders.

Music has been a childhood passion for Omar. It was something that was an integral part of his upbringing.

The child Omar also learnt to play several different instruments all by himself.

Reminiscing about his journey and his emotional connect with music, Omar Iben Chekroun shares, “Music played a key role in my upbringing. I grew up listening to different songs in various languages.

With the entertainment industry regaining a semblance of normality, one may assume that web content may now be experiencing a backseat. However, it’s quite the opposite. The OTT boom has not only become an opportunity for actors but has also opened the door to a raft of new age directors and filmmakers; it’s here to stay.

The web space is emerging fast as an important medium in the entertainment landscape, and audiences are spoilt for choice as they consume content in various languages. As for budding filmmakers, OTT opens up different ways for storytelling, big or small. With more liberty on format and censoring, there is a lot to experiment, says filmmaker Suravi Patnaik.

Patnaik, who made her first stroke in movies with Tom Cruise starrer Mission Impossible: Fallout in 2018, believes the digital medium has helped ease the commercial restrictions of creative projects. According to Patnaik, accessibility and personalisation are key differentiators of OTT platforms. Consumers stay engaged as they can discover content that is relevant to them, right at their fingertips. However, as a filmmaker, Patnaik feels that it’s movie making that is changing faster than movie watching experiences. Gone are the days of commercial, happy-ending potboilers starring Khans. Cinema in 2021 is about content that is meaningful but may not necessarily have a happy ending or fit into a feature film format. Patnaik is happy to see newage cinema giving centrestage to actors instead of stars, cutting through language and mainstream barriers with its own kind of filmmaking such as web series and anthologies but feels that although the OTT space will continue to grow, streamers won’t replace theatres just yet.

Patnaik is the founder and ceo of Sponsa – a global company providing services in tech, marketing and more recently in film production. Suravi made her first bucks selling handmade Indian jeweller at the tender age of 16, when she was in high school in the UK. She graduated with a Masters degree in IT from University of Otago, New Zealand. However, her passion lied In 2017, she got a chance to work in Tom Cruise starrer Mission Impossible: Fallout. She became producer in 2020 – she is producing first of its kind Odia anthology content to be released worldwide in OTT platforms in early 2022.

The movie ‘Maachis’ is completing 25 years on October 25. The 1996 film was directed by Gulzar and is also known for its cast Tabu and Jimmy Sheirgill. Actor Chandrachur Singh on-screen character ‘Tej Sareen’ hums a song to his onscreen wife Sushmita sen in Emmy nominated web show Aarya. The trait is incorporated as the actor is a singer in his real-life too. The actor who is known for his acting skills ace the audition over WhatsApp. 

Chandrachur Singh was a name to reckon with in the late 1990s with films like Betaabi, Dil Kya Kare, Josh, Daag: The Fire, Silsila Hai Pyar Ka, and many more.  The actor has to struggle for continuous five years to grab the love that he has attained now. When he had two simultaneous releases in 1996, Maachis and Tere Mere Sapne, his career graph started to rise higher and made him a popular name in every household. 

Directed by Gulzar, and also starring Tabu, Jimmy Sheirgill, Om Puri, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Raj Zutshi, and others. Maachis revolves around the political drama that showcases the Sikh insurgency in Punjab in the 1980s, and how politicians manipulate youth to get their ulterior motives fulfilled.

“I was in St Stephen’s, all set to appear for my UPSC exams, wanting to become an IAS or IFS officer. Offers came to me, and as much as I wanted to be successful, I think I also had the hunger to be known as an actor worth his salt,” Chandrachur exclaimed. 

Chandrachur came to Mumbai around 1988 and his first film went on floors in 1990. “We shot around 60-80 percent of the film, and then it was shelved. And then there were many near-misses over the next five-six years before I landed Maachis and Tere Mere Sapne,” Chandrachur added.

According to Chandrachur, it was also the time when he doubted his career choice as he enjoyed teaching more. “I taught music in Vasant Valley, Delhi, and then went on to teach History at The Doon School in Dehradun, which happens to be my former school. So I thought in case (acting) didn’t work out, I got myself a permanent job as a teacher in Doon school.”

But Jaya Bachchan called him out for a screen test and then there was no looking back. The actor got approved for Tere Mere Sapne. Gulzar who was the director of the film came across Chandrachur’s audition tape and decided to cast him as Kirpal Singh Pali in Maachis.

“I had gone to his office with a stubble. I had no idea that he was looking for someone with stubble. He asked me if I had work to show, and I told him that I’d done a screen test for Mrs. Bachchan. He called her up because they were really close, having worked in films like Parichay and more. He asked for my screen test, saw it, and approved. By the time I reached home, I was told that I had been cast in Maachis. It was a very pleasant surprise, that it all happened so smoothly. Apparently, he waited really long to cast the character of Kirpal,” Chandrachur told us.

But Chandrachur said that things started to change post-1997 when his films failed to excel at the box office. “There were many films whose promos and songs had come out, but the films were never released in the theaters. There was this movie I did with Shilpa Shetty called Junoon, and there was another one with Sonali Kulkarni. There was one with Sanjay Dutt and Shamita Shetty called Mohabbat Ho Gayi Hai Tumse, and there were other big projects that I don’t want to revisit. It’s just a case of many slips between the cup and the lip.”

Now but with his short and impactful performance in the web series named Aarya, Chandrachur has yet again spotted the limelight for his excellent acting skills. Thus, people are waiting to see him more in the coming shows.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is on a three day visit to Jammu and Kashmir. He met Kashmiri Pandits and assured them of security. Shah also attacked ‘3 families’ which ruled the erstwhile state and launched several developmental projects along with taking stock of the security situation. 

Minister of Home Affairs, Amit Shah, who is on a three day visit to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday, met the families of civilians and soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir who were killed by terrorists in a series of targeted killings in October. As many as 11 civilians, a majority of whom belonged to other states, have been killed this month. Shah also met the family of slain Jammu and Kashmir Police inspector Parvez Ahmad, who was killed by terrorists in June this year. The Union Home Minister said that the entire country is proud of Ahmad’s bravery and offered a government job to the policeman’s wife.

Chief of defence staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat said the Union home minister’s visit to the Valley is to give confidence to people that security forces and the state administration are with them. “We will not allow this to be perpetrated and that we will bring the situation under control,” Rawat added. Shah, On his second day (Sunday), met a delegation of Kashmiri Pandits. The delegation demanded the construction of two-bedroom quarters for the migrant employees from the community recruited under the Prime Minister’s special recruitment programme in the Kashmir valley, besides security and insurance coverage for them. They also demanded the constitution of an apex committee and a welfare board for the displaced people. The Union Home Minister also met delegations of the Gujjar-Bakarwal and Pahadi communities.

Addressing the rally in Bhagwati Nagar area, the home minister said no one will now be able to create any hurdle in the development of Jammu and Kashmir. He said ? 12,000 crore worth of investment has already come to the union territory and the government aims at a total of ? 51,000 crore by the end of 2022. If the youth join the development of Jammu and Kashmir, terrorists will fail in their sinister design, he asserted. Attacking the Gandhi, Abdullah and Mufti family, without taking their names, Amit Shah also said dadagiri (bullying) of three families has ended and any grassroots representative could aim to become a Union minister or even a Chief Minister of the Union Territory (UT). He said when the Centre introduced new industrial policy, the three families, which exploited J&K, used to mock who would come here.

Lauding the Prime Minister’s decision to Abrogate Article 370, it was “a historic decision by the PM”. “Earlier people did not have the right to buy land, refugees did not have rights, people did not get a reservation. But, now no one has to fear, because all the rights under the Indian Constitution are available to everyone,” he added. He said the fresh investment will help create five lakh new jobs. “So far, land has been allotted for an investment of ?7,000 crore in Jammu and ?5,000 crore in Kashmir. It’s the magic of Modi ji,” he added.

He, on Sunday, also met BSF personnel at Makhwal’s Border Outpost and lauded their efforts in safeguarding the country’s border. Shah also visited ‘Digiyana Ashram’ Gurudwara which can be seen as a confidence-building measure in the minorities. The Union Home Minister also inaugurated several developmental projects. Shah also inaugurated IIT Jammu campus and in a major boost for bringing tourism to the state, he launched international flights between Srinagar to Sharjah. Earlier on Saturday, Amit Shah presided over a meeting with CRPF, BSF and other security agencies in the wake of the deteriorating security situation in the valley. 

Shah, on his maiden visit to J&K since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019 will address panchayat representatives and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in Srinagar on the third and last day of his visit to Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on Monday. He will also meet members of the civil society and attend a Central Reserve Police Force function in Pulwama.
