Sonakshi SarkarMizoram
In a major political shake-up in Mizoram's Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lost control following a successful no-confidence motion that removed Molin Kumar Chakma from his position as the council’s Executive Member-in-Charge. The move marks a significant turning point in the council’s short-lived BJP-led administration and heralds the rise of the Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) as the dominant force within the council. The no-confidence motion was passed during a special session convened by CADC Chairman Lakkhan Chakma, who was among the 12 BJP members who defected to the ZPM. Of the 17 elected members…

The decision comes in the wake of heightened scrutiny of foreign entities following India’s Operation Sindoor. Turkey’s perceived support for Pakistan has led to broader…

‘Contextual Admissions’ Aim to Widen Access to Higher Education

MohiniInternational
Top UK universities including Oxford, Manchester and Bristol are adopting a new admissions model that considers students’ socio-economic backgrounds rather than purely academic scores. This means students from disadvantaged schools or underrepresented communities could get offers even if they don’t meet standard grade criteria.
