Amar Chitra Katha, a cartoon that narrates India's scientific tale, meets IISc
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bengaluru has used an ancient but cherished storytelling technique to preserve its history in a time of scrolling screens and diminishing attention spans. In partnership with Amar Chitra Katha, the institute has published a comic book that combines history, creativity, and patriotism into an approachable story for a younger audience.The concept of a comic book coming out of a scientific institution can seem strange at first. However, IISc's inspiration stems from its own history, which predates India's independence.The institute, which was established by Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata during British colonial authority, has served as a symbol of national development and scientific aspirations for more than a century. However, a large portion of this rich legacy is still unknown to the general population, particularly young adults and children. "The concept was straightforward," according to project participants. "How can we make the remarkable history of IISc interesting and approachable?" The solution took the shape of a comic, an art form that has exposed Indian generations to mythology, history, and culture for decades. The institute stated that it felt like a natural fit to collaborate with Amar Chitra Katha, a well-known brand known for its vivid storytelling. It added that IISc's Office of Communications started the partnership, and the Amar Chitra Katha team quickly joined in, realizing how important it is to tell the story of Indian science in a compelling way.The comic chronicles IISc's development from its inception to its rise to prominence as a worldwide hub for innovation and research. The Mysore royal family provided significant support for Tata's innovative plan to establish a scientific institution for India. The story then shifts to 1911, the year IISc began welcomed students.

Knowledge Nugget International Maritime Laws: An Overview of UNCLOS, SOLAS, and MARPOL
On March 4, the Iranian cruiser IRIS Dena was torpedoed by a US submarine outside Sri Lanka's territorial limits. The ship was returning from its participation in MILAN-2026, a multilateral naval exercise organized by the Indian Navy, and the International Fleet Review. Understanding important maritime laws and agreements becomes crucial in this situation.In order to support the preservation and sustainable use of marine ecosystems, a number of international treaties and conventions have been developed to regulate maritime zones and prevent and control marine pollution.1. UNCLOS is an all-encompassing international law that establishes the general guidelines for acceptable conduct on the usage of seas and oceans worldwide. In addition to addressing topics like sovereignty, passage rights, and rights of exclusive economic usage, it outlines the obligations and rights of nations with regard to operations in the oceans. UNCLOS is responsible for the demarcation of EEZs and territorial waters. 2. According to UNCLOS, the territorial sea (TS) is a region that extends up to 12 nautical miles from the base of a nation's shore. Over the waters included in the TS, a state has complete sovereignty.3. A nation's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is defined by the UNCLOS as extending from the baseline of its coast to 200 nautical miles (about 370 kilometers) into the sea. Within its EEZ, a country has exclusive rights to both living and non-living resources in the oceans and on the seafloor.4. The general guidelines for fair access to and use of ocean resources, as well as the preservation and conservation of marine ecology and biodiversity, are established by UNCLOS. However, it doesn't outline how these goals must be met. The High Seas Treaty is relevant in this situation.

Despite reports of turmoil at the Patna test center, the chairman of the BPSC refutes claims that the CCE 70th preliminary paper was leaked.
BPSC CCE 70th paper leak controversy: The BPSC Chairman stated that CCTV footage from the center will be examined, and anyone who attempted to cause trouble will face harsh criminal penalties.Parmar Ravi Manubhai, the chairman of the BPSC, denied claims on Friday that several candidates leaked papers during the 70th Integrated Combined Competitive Examination (CCE), 2024 preliminary exams at Patna's Bapu Pariksha Bhavan. "The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam has not been compromised. Around 12:30 pm, we got reports of some students making a scene during the exam, but that was after everyone had sat down and had cut off all communication with the outside world, Manubhai told IndianExpress.com. While the invigilators were handing the question papers, several antisocial individuals dressed as students began stealing them and yelling that the question paper had already gone viral online. Unless they wanted to cause a commotion, students who have been in the exam room for the last fifteen to twenty minutes would not be aware that the question paper has gone viral.Following this, they hurried out of the test room with the question paper envelope and tossed it across the border to distribute to a few individuals who were waiting outside the center. They created a commotion and made photocopies of the question papers at 1:10 pm since they were unable to upload them to the internet from within the center due to powerful jammers and a lack of phones. We have CCTV footage from the center that will be examined, and anyone who have attempted to cause issues for any of the candidates will face harsh criminal penalties," the chairman continued.
NLSIU opens doors to the liberal arts 36 years after it transformed the way law is taught.
The five-year BA.LLB program, which was introduced by the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bengaluru thirty-six years ago, revolutionized legal education in India. However, the institution is presently expanding its academic portfolio with non-legal programs after launching a three-year BA (Hons) degree in 2025.Although the goal of these activities is to make NLSIU a multidisciplinary university, some have questioned whether the school is going too far and deviating from its original goal of being a leading legal college. Since its founding in 1988, the NLSIU has embraced the five-year integrated BA.LLB program, which was developed by N R Madhava Menon, who is regarded as the nation's founder of contemporary legal education. Other law schools throughout India have been inspired by the program's multidisciplinary approach, which blends law with the humanities and social sciences.However, as part of its expansion goals, NLSIU is currently attempting to reposition itself as a multidisciplinary institution in light of the changing higher education market and growing competition from private universities. at actuality, the Karnataka government has consented to lease NLSIU an extra seven acres of land on the Bangalore University campus at Jnanabharati for a duration of thirty years at a rate of Rs 50,000 per acre year. At the moment, NLSIU operates on a 23-acre facility within the BU campus.All first-year students in the BA and BA LLB programs will be offered a common core set of foundational courses as part of the NLS BA program. Students will also have the opportunity to choose between majoring in history, sociology and anthropology, politics, and economics, learn a few Indian languages, and take practice courses in subjects like artificial intelligence and machine learning, filmmaking, business consulting, user experience research, digital journalism, creative writing, entrepreneurship, policy advocacy, and analysis.

Universities are urged by China to offer "love education."
In an effort to increase the nation's declining birth rate, China is pushing colleges and universities to offer "love education" that emphasizes positive perspectives on marriage, love, fertility, and family.Following China's second straight year of population drop in 2023, Beijing has been pushing a number of policies aimed at making having children more appealing to young couples.With 1.4 billion people, China has the second-largest population in the world. However, as the population ages rapidly, the government will have to spend more money in the future, which will put strain on the economy. According to the Jiangsu Xinhua media group, which cited China Population News, an official publication, college students will be the main source of childbearing, but they have drastically altered their perspectives on marriage and love."Colleges and universities should assume the responsibility of providing marriage and love education to college students by offering marriage and love education courses," wrote the journal.The actions would contribute to the development of a "healthy and positive marriage and childbearing cultural atmosphere." In order to address China's population loss and promote respect for reproduction and weddings "at the right age," the state council, or cabinet, mobilized local governments in November. However, demographers predicted that the actions would not be well received by young Chinese.

Byju's bankruptcy: Riju Raveendran petitions the NCLT to be included in the case
On Monday, Riju Raveendran, the brother of Byju Raveendran, the founder of the insolvent edtech company, and its largest stakeholder, went to the Bengaluru insolvency tribunal to request inclusion in the case. The tribunal, however, voiced concerns over his involvement in the proceedings.Before the tribunal, Riju's attorney begged for permission to defend himself against claims made by Byju's lenders—specifically, Glas Trust, a US-based lender—about where the Rs 158 crore that was first given to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to pay its debts came from.Byju's US-based lenders had resisted the settlement, arguing that the funds utilized to reimburse BCCI were corrupted because they were included in the $533 million that was purportedly "missing." The tribunal, however, stated that determining the source of funds falls under the jurisdiction of the income tax authorities and the Enforcement Directorate. It directed the lenders to file objections to Raveendran’s plea and adjourned the hearing.However, the panel declared that the Enforcement Directorate and the income tax authorities had the authority to ascertain the source of funds. It postponed the hearing and instructed the lenders to oppose to Raveendran's plea.The appeal panel was earlier informed by Riju Raveendran, a board member of the business, that the funds paid to the BCCI were "clean." His attorney had maintained that the $533 million that the lenders said was "missing" did not include the payment to the BCCI. The US lenders and Byju's parent business, Think & Learn, are at odds over the missing funds.
