The Umang app provides three services to subscribers of the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). They can view their passbook; raise a claim for pension withdrawal, part withdrawal, and final settlement.

Alarmed by the gruesome incidents, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a new set of security-related guidelines that are to be followed by educational institutions across the country.

CBSE declared the results on Friday, and among the eight transgender candidates who took the medical entrance exam, five have qualified.

In today’s increasingly globalised world, it is important to make learning and education a holistic experience beyond classroom academics. Keeping this in mind, Indian schools are introducing various innovations in classrooms to give students all-round development and growth.

As happens every year, the announcement of the CBSE Class XII Board results is followed by rejoicing for some, and despair for others. A concerned citizen writes an open letter to those in despair – this is not the end, and there is still a lot you can achieve.

The app provides students information on their exam centres as well as routes to reach them.

Hundreds of students, who took the Class 12 Mathematics board exam on March 15, demanded that CBSE should re-conduct the exam because the questions were unexpectedly tough and lengthy. Additionally, several students in Ranchi in Jharkhand alleged that the question paper had been leaked beforehand. One such student shares the experience.

With a new project, CBSE is planning to educate children on how to manage their finances independently, and to learn about the importance of investments and savings.

Keeping in mind the safety of school going girls, CBSE has asked all it affiliated schools to conduct self-defence lessons for girl studying in class I to X. They hope that this move will inculcate a sense of self confidence among the students.

The students will participate in school-level competitions and the selected ones will further take part in online quiz contests. Higher education schools are also expected to help elementary level schools in science and maths.
