Nupur Sheoran assured India of its first medal at the World Boxing Championships by reaching the semifinals of the women’s +80kg category. She defeated Oltinoy Sotimboeva of Uzbekistan 4-1 in a scrappy contest. Nupur, the 26-year-old granddaughter of legendary boxer Hawa Singh, entered the competition directly in the quarterfinals and secured at least a bronze medal. The +80kg category, which is a non-Olympic weight class, features just 10 boxers in the ongoing competition.
Nupur started strong, landing sharp combinations early. The Uzbek boxer responded with a straight jab, but frequent clinching disrupted the rounds. Nupur took the opening round on four of the five judges’ cards. In the second round, Sotimboeva, aged 20, kept the exchanges messy and managed to sway two judges despite Nupur having a strong finish. In the final round, Sotimboeva lost a point for excessive holding, while Nupur was penalized for using her head, canceling out the advantage.
Despite more swinging than scoring in the closing stages, Nupur’s cleaner punches secured her place in the semifinals. The World Boxing Championships are ongoing in Liverpool. Alongside Nupur, other Indian boxers Jadumani Singh, Abhinash Jamwal, Nikhat Zareen, Jaismine Lamboria, Pooja Rani, and Jamwal are also competing at different stages

Nepal is experiencing one of its worst periods of chaos and political instability in decades, triggered by violent youth-led protests against government corruption and internet censorship.

• Social Media Ban and Outrage: The initial government ban on 26 major social media platforms further enraged youth activists. Although the ban was revoked, it failed to stop ongoing protests.
• Power Vacuum: After multiple ministerial resignations and a fearful exodus of politicians, a power vacuum has emerged; no clear successor or plan exists for the next government

China has recently unveiled innovative trucks that operate efficiently on both sides or with dual-driving capabilities, including dual-headed fire trucks and trucks capable of carrying two containers side by side, reflecting the country’s push for versatility and advanced logistics solutions.

राजस्थान सरकार ने एक ऐतिहासिक निर्णय लिया है कि वह राज्य के सरकारी स्कूलों में प्री-प्राथमिक (3 से 5 वर्ष आयु के बच्चों के लिए) कक्षाओं में संस्कृत भाषा को अनिवार्य विषय के रूप में शामिल करेगी। यह पूरे भारत में पहली बार होगा जब किसी राज्य में प्री-प्राथमिक स्तर पर संस्कृत पढ़ाई जाएगी।
मुख्य जानकारी:
• इस योजना को तीन चरणों में लागू किया जाएगा। पहले चरण में 757 नए प्री-प्राथमिक संस्कृत विद्यालय खोले जाएंगे जो एक महीने के भीतर शुरू होंगे।
• अगले साल दूसरे और तीसरे चरण में 962 महात्मा गांधी अंग्रेजी माध्यम स्कूल और 660 पीएम-श्री स्कूलों में संस्कृत अनिवार्य होगी।
• राजस्थान राज्य परिषद शैक्षिक अनुसंधान और प्रशिक्षण (RSCERT) द्वारा तीन प्री-प्राथमिक स्तरों के लिए पाठ्यक्रम और किताबें तैयार की गई हैं, जिन्हें NCERT और राज्य सरकार ने मंजूरी दी है।
• किताबें सरल भाषा में और कॉमिक शैली में डिज़ाइन की गई हैं ताकि बच्चे आसानी से संस्कृत की मूल शब्दावली और व्याकरण सीख सकें।
• यह पहल बच्चों में cognitive development, भाषा कौशल व सांस्कृतिक जागरूकता बढ़ाने में मदद करेगी।
यह कदम संस्कृत भाषा और भारतीय सांस्कृतिक विरासत को संरक्षण और संवर्धन प्रदान करने के लिए उठाया गया है। राजस्थान इस अनूठी पहल के साथ पूरे देश के लिए मिसाल बन रहा है। 🧚🏼‍♀️
