The Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Women and Child Development has jointly released an advisory on April 02, 2025 on colocation of anganwadis to pursue the common goal of development of social and human capital by incorporation of ‘play-based’ Early Childhood Care and Education through the extensive network of anganwadis including standalone ones and anganwadi centres co-located with schools, as well as Balvatikas in Schools.

On this World Health Day, the Department of School Education and Literacy reiterates its commitment under the PM POSHAN Scheme. The focus is on nutrition and health (including mental health) of children and is being addressed through Eat-Right healthy meals, training of Cook-cum-helpers and counsellors and community participation in the schools. The vision is aligned with #NEP2020#. Additionally, around 5.72 lakh schools have established School Nutrition Gardens to encourage healthy eating habits, experiential learning and a connection with nature. Through Tithi Bhojan, a community-driven tradition of sharing food in schools, more than 5.53 crore students have benefitted in nearly 5.99 lakh schools. States and UTs are further enriching nutrition by providing locally available items, like ragi, java, eggs, milk and chikki, in aspirational districts and regions with a high prevalence of anaemia. Mental health is also an essential pillar of student well-being and is being actively supported through the Manodarpan initiative (Helpline Number: 844-844-0632), which has received 1.7 lakh calls. 1,029 Sahyog sessions and 207 Paricharcha sessions are organised regularly to create awareness about the importance of mental health, build knowledge and address various concerns related to the identification and prevention of substance abuse, mental health and emotional well-being among school students, parents and teachers. Let us build a community together to nurture healthy minds and nourished bodies for a brighter tomorrow. #NEP2020SuccessStories# #SchoolEducation# #Education4All# #SamagraShiksha# #DoSEL# #WorldHealthDay# #PMPoshan#

In convergence with @MoHFW_INDIA, more than 7.06 crore children have been screened under the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram, enabling early detection and timely intervention for health concerns among school children. To combat nutritional deficiencies, especially anaemia, 7.77 crore students have been provided Iron-Folic Acid supplementation under the Anaemia Mukt Bharat initiative and 6.68 Crore have received deworming medicines under National Deworming Day (upto Class 8th). These efforts reflect the commitment by the Department of School Education & Literacy towards the holistic development of students as envisioned in #NEP2020#. #WorldHealthDay# #PMPoshan# #SchoolEducation# #SamagraShiksha# #DoSEL#

The Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi emphasised the importance of healthy lifestyle choices among school students during #ParikshaPeCharcha# 2025 and #MannKiBaat#, recognising the growing concern of childhood obesity. In alignment with this National priority, an advisory has been issued by the Department of School Education & Literacy to all States and Union Territories to create awareness about obesity and about reducing the usage of cooking oil by 10% in day-to-day life among teachers, parents, students and communities. A small step like managing oil consumption can reduce obesity among youngsters and will pave the way to become a fit and healthy nation. Let every school, every kitchen and every home be a part of this mission for mindful nourishment! #WorldHealthDay# #PMPoshan# #NEP2020# #SchoolEducation# #SamagraShiksha# #Nutrition# #DoSEL#

🚨 Dear @TeamYouTube , @YouTube , @nealmohan – Why is this happening again? 😐 I’ve been building my educational YouTube channel from 2017 (8 years)—creating 570+ videos on blockchain, decentralization, and financial literacy to help people become self-dependent. Recently, I hit 100K subscribers, and out of nowhere—my channel was TERMINATED (Deleted). 💔 8 YEARS of hard work, knowledge, and community-building, GONE in 1 second. 👉 Channel URL : https://t.co/uZMxVcoCGh This isn’t just a channel. It’s a community. It’s years of my life and the lives of thousands who followed me for REAL education. This is UNACCEPTABLE. I demand a fair review and an explanation of what went wrong. I have built a community, Review And Pls Bring back my channel. #BringBackCryptoGG# @TeamYouTube

Every year, the National Book Foundation announces its roster of five writers under the age of 35 whose debut work of fiction “promises to leave a lasting impression on the literary landscape.” Once again, Vulture is excited to reveal the honorees. https://t.co/yNmOMBxKDW

MARS CITY "TERMINUS": ELON'S PERFECT SCI-FI TRIBUTE Elon's suggestion to name Mars' first city "Terminus" gives total sci-fi goosebumps! This isn't just a random name—it's a heartfelt nod to Asimov's Foundation series, where Terminus stood as humanity's last hope at the edge of the galaxy. There's something deeply poetic about Mars being our own real-life Terminus—the edge of our current reach and the beginning of something incredible. The literary connection feels like a beautiful bridge between the dreams we've had for generations and the future we're actually building. Elon's democratic sentiment—"it will be up to the people of Mars to decide"—shows he gets that true space colonization means letting Martians (yes, actual future Martians) create their own identity rather than having Earth dictate everything. This isn't about symbolic flags but creating a thriving second branch of humanity that could persist independently. Self-determination means self-sufficiency, with Terminus generating its own resources and eventually its own distinct culture to truly make humanity a multiplanetary species capable of surviving even if Earth faced catastrophe.
