As someone who has done several programmes to highlight the genuine concerns of students, and now that the govt has made it clear that #ExamsInCovid will happen, I would like to urge almost out of a sense of duty - students should not put their career at stake. (1/3)
The concerns are genuine. The Covid cases are rising at an alarming rate. The govt should have listened and thought of a middle ground. But try not to sit this one out. Take precautions and take the test in these testing times. (2/3)
The solutions you offered to your own problems on our shows should have forced a govt to respond. At least strike a conciliatory note. Try not to look at this as a battle lost. But a fight for what you think is right, fought well. All the best for #ExamsInCOVID

Bihar has become the first state to release data from a caste-based survey. The report indicates 36 per cent of the population are from Extremely Backward Classes, 27.1 per cent are from Backward Classes, 19.7 per cent are from Scheduled Castes and 1.7 per cent are from Scheduled Tribes. The general population is 15.5 per cent. The state's total population is over 13.1 crore.
The survey also said the Yadav community - the group to which Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav belongs - is the largest sub-group, accounting for 14.27 per cent of all OBC categories.
The report's fallout, which will almost certainly kick-up a political row, will likely also include calls to increase quotas for OBCs, which is capped now at 27 per cent. According to the data - released months before the 2024 Lok Sabha election, they are now 63.1 per cent of the state.

Kunwar Danish Ali, Lok Sabha MP from Mayawati's party BSP, today said he is, with a heavy heart, considering "leaving" the parliament if no action is taken against BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri, who used communal slurs against him inside the lower house last evening. If this can happen to me, what will happen to a common man? An emotional Danish Ali said, on the verge of breaking down on camera, adding that he couldn't sleep all night as he felt like his brain was about to 'explode'.
"Was this special session (of the parliament) called to attack elected MPs by linking them to their community? This has shamed the entire country. We will see whether his party will take any action against him or promote him. This is hate speech," Kunwar Danish Ali told NDTV.
The BSP MP said he submitted a letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker demanding action against Mr Bidhuri, who made the objectionable remarks during a discussion in Lok Sabha on the "success of Chandrayaan".

Former PM Dr Manmohan Singh has the following suggestions and solutions to tackle the spread of the pandemic. Suggestions offered to PM Modi.
1) 'govt publicise what firm orders for doses placed on different vaccine producers & accepted for delivery over the next six months. If we want to vaccinate a target number, we should place enough orders in advance so that producers can adhere to an agreed schedule of supply.'
2) 'govt indicate how expected supply will be distributed across states. Central govt could retain 10 percent for distribution based on emergency needs, but other than that, states should have a clear signal of likely availability so that they can plan their roll out.'
