Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 10: By the time 2025 wrapped itself in a neat calendar bow, one thing became quietly undeniable: Korean culture was no longer “having a moment.” It had a system. There were no fireworks announcing this shift. No single viral performance crowned the year. Instead, Korea’s cultural presence unfolded the way real influence does — steadily, persistently, and with an almost unsettling confidence. Music tours sold out without dramatic marketing theatrics. Musicals crossed borders without apologizing for subtitles. Traditional arts found new audiences who weren’t chasing novelty, but meaning. The world didn’t just watch Korean culture in…

New Delhi [India], January 12: Union Minister of Education Shri Dharmendra Pradhan met 43 authors identified as part of PM-YUVA 3.0 at the New Delhi World Book Fair 2026 and turned what could have been a perfunctory appearance into a wake-up call on where India is heading in its knowledge economy. Not a Ceremony, but a Conversation This was not a one-way speech. It was a conversation. The selected PM-YUVA 3.0 authors presented brief overviews of their manuscripts at Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya in New Delhi. These manuscripts are being developed under a six-month mentorship programme. The range of subjects stood out…

New Delhi [India], January 12: India’s education sector is undergoing a period of rapid change. Rising competition, increasing student acquisition costs, fragmented digital journeys, and underutilised data systems have made enrolment growth significantly more complex for universities and edtech companies alike. While many institutions invest in marketing and technology, the gap between strategy and execution continues to limit outcomes. It is within this context that UniBridge Consulting has announced its entry into the education consulting space. With a focus on addressing one of the sector’s most persistent challenges, Unibridge turns intent, data, and strategy into measurable enrolment outcomes. Rather than…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 12: By 2026, India’s tutoring debate has changed. It’s no longer about how big an edtech studio is or how many videos it has for a mass livestream class. It’s about one-to-one personal attention, who actually gets taught, and who gets lost. Today’s exam-prep edtech livestreams often teach tens of thousands of students at once. That scale comes with a clear cost: most students are never spoken to, never individually tracked, and never corrected in a way that fits how they think. Chats and polls keep viewers busy but not personal. Online personal tutoring services do offer that…

New Delhi [India], January 12: In an era where corporate careers, startups, and global opportunities dominate career conversations, one profession continues to command unmatched respect and purpose a career in the Indian Armed Forces. Beyond job security or status, the uniform represents discipline, sacrifice, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to the nation. For thousands of young Indians, especially from Assam and the North-East, this calling is growing stronger than ever. At the heart of this movement stands Abhigyan Academy, a defence coaching institute in Guwahati that has steadily emerged as a trusted ecosystem for aspirants preparing for NDA, CDS, CAPF (AC), and…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 10: For years, people have been predicting an inevitable cooling-off period. The “peak K-wave.” The moment when Korean content would politely bow, smile for the cameras, and retreat back into niche fandoms. And yet, week after week, streaming charts tell a far less dramatic story. Korean shows are not spiking. They’re camping. Titles like Culinary Class Wars and The Great Flood continue to occupy top positions on global non-English streaming charts, not as viral anomalies but as reliable performers. No hysteria. No novelty shock. Just steady, almost inconvenient consistency — the kind that makes industry analysts…

Ulhasnagar (Maharashtra) [India], January 10: As the pace of life accelerates and everyone becomes absorbed in daily demands, the space to nurture our mental health grows smaller, yet the need for it grows greater. Understanding shifting emotional needs of today’s children, rooted in the belief that true education cultivates both intellect and inner strength, Sri Sri Ravishankar Vidya Mandir, Ulhasnagar, has boldly implemented India’s First Mental Health Education Curriculum as a key part of its holistic learning approach. This forward-thinking adoption places SSRVM among the initial Indian schools to integrate structured emotional education into everyday schooling. This thoughtful integration aims to support…

New Delhi [India], January 10: When S Krishnan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), recently inaugurated PARAM SHAKTI at IIT Madras, it was not the customary ribbon-cutting ceremony but a bold statement of India becoming more technologically empowered. PARAM SHAKTI is not just another supercomputer. It is built on homegrown hardware, based on C-DAC RUDRA servers, and operates on an indigenous software stack using the open-source AlmaLinux. It can perform 3.1 quadrillion calculations per second—yes, quadrillion, with a capital Q. It is not a flashy technological flaunt. It is an Indian science turbocharger. Researchers in…
