A heartwarming video of Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma helping a student learn guitar chords while visiting a school has gone viral on Instagram and earned appreciation from its users.

While on his visit to Nongspung A village in the constituency of Jirang, the Chief Minister was found teaching students at a local school. While watching them at play, he couldn't help but notice one shy little boy struggling with playing the guitar. Instead of just standing and watching, Sangma intervened and showed him how to put the correct chords on and how to hold and play the guitar himself.

Encouraging future talent

Posting the video on his Instagram account, Sangma wrote in the caption, "At Nongspung A village of Jirang, one student was very eager to play the guitar, so I gifted one to the school during my visit there. He is an amateur today, but I'm sure he will learn and play when we dedicate their new school building some day."

Social media fans filled the comment section with admiration. One of them wrote, "This is the kind of leadership that inspires real change." Another added, "Not only a politician, but also a mentor. Respect!"

A third posted, "Music, kindness, and leadership—what a beautiful blend!" whereas another added, "This is the content we love to see from our leaders."

Another one wrote, "The act of kindness and love .It's great to see your time with the students on music" Another one wrote, "Thank you sir for visiting our school. We are so happy that you have encouraged my students in the field of music not only words but through deeds. Thank you for the guitar sir, we are immensely happy.". Next time when you visit to inaugurate our new school as requested by you our students will certainly sing you a welcome song."

A user commented, "This is beautiful." Another user said, "Such sympathy is not common in public life. Keep inspiring us!"

As part of efforts to boost vocational education, the Directorate of Education has sanctioned inclusion of Skill and NSQF subjects in 257 additional government schools in Delhi from the ongoing academic year itself, officials confirmed.

The step is a part of the Samagra Shiksha initiative and seeks to provide students with practical, job-oriented skills in addition to their mainstream academic curriculum. According to a May 23 circular, the students of Classes 9 and 11 will be able to avail themselves of various skill-based subjects, and each school would have to provide admission to up to 50 students per subject.

For enabling students to make conscious choices, schools have been instructed to hold counselling sessions delineating the scope and career prospects of the skill courses being introduced. The circular also makes it clear that new admissions in Class 11 will be entertained even if students have not studied the subject in Class 9 or 10.

Pointing to a more flexible education paradigm, the report explained that this is within a flexible, multi-entry and multi-exit framework, and this makes vocational education more accessible. But this is not required of all students to take up skill subjects—schools can provide them as an optional stream.

According to CBSE guidelines, schools don't require individual approvals for offering these subjects. They need to simply modify the concerned information on the CBSE portal.

National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) offers courses under such practical streams as Information Technology, Retail, Healthcare, and Beauty & Wellness—subjects geared to enhance students' employment prospects and equip them with skills to fit real-world careers.

The Bengaluru South MP also shared a video of a school-going autorickshaw driving through a badly damaged stretch littered with open manholes and potholes

The politics of who will fix Bengaluru's battered roads has reached fever pitch, with Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya entering the fray.

Surya posted a thread comprising a letter, which was written from a school, appealing to the parents to write to civic officials to repair the roads immediately for the sake of their children.

Given below are the tweets by Surya regarding the same:.

"See the condition of the road. There are uncovered manholes here—children can fall in. Two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and buses can't pass through. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Thousands of children, many in school vans, pass on this road daily. How can they ignore this?" the Bengaluru South MP posed to News18.

Surya challenged the Karnataka Congress government to take responsibility for keeping the infrastructure of the city intact, stating that the tech hub of India is "crumbling" under its regime.

On Wednesday, after touring areas badly hit by relentless rains, Karnataka deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar asserted the damage was worst in BJP constituencies.

Reacting to this, Surya said to News18, "Does Bengaluru belong to a political party? It was Shivakumar who began the practice of releasing money to Congress MLAs but not to BJP MLAs. Let him come out with how much crores were released to BJP MLA constituencies and how many crores to Congress MLA constituencies. Recall how in Jayanagar he intentionally withheld money from the local BJP MLA? You cut money from BJP constituencies and then point fingers at those same regions?

The letter Surya had sent was signed by the secretary of Kumaran Group of Institutions. It requested parents to "acknowledge the challenges posed by the condition of roads leading to the school," and emphasized the inconvenience and danger for students.

The school urged the parents to approach civic authorities directly: "If you would like to further support the cause, we urge you to write directly to the concerned municipal or public works department. A joint voice from the parent community will perhaps help bring focus to the urgency of the issue and trigger quicker action," the letter added.

The school also clarified that it has repeatedly requested for road repairs, but its role is limited. “The responsibility of repairing public roads lies solely with the municipal bodies," the letter stated. Surya pointed out that he was chosen to serve all of Bengaluru and should be held accountable for the issues of the city. "MLAs do not enjoy executive power, that rests with ministers. The irony is, while they mark two years of so-called good governance, half of Bengaluru is sinking," he said to News18

In a record-breaking feat, 38 of the 44 students from Arunachal Pradesh's West Kameng district border villages of Jang and Dirang have cleared the May 23 All India Sainik School Entrance Examination, thanks to a free, rigorous coaching program conducted by the Indian Army's Gajraj Corps from July 2024 through April 2025. Intended to bridge the knowledge gap in backward areas, the program offered intensive academic training and motivational inputs, which enabled students to gain the discipline and confidence to compete at the national level. The Army celebrated the achievement as a validation that talent does not recognize barriers and confirmed its dedication to empowering the youth through education. The success has been cheered as a light at the end of the tunnel and as an inspiration of national pride and patriotism, representing the Army's vision of building the country through accessibility and opportunity.

The achievement is owed to a free, high-impact coaching program conducted by India's Gajraj Corps between July 2024 and April 2025.

The program was initiated in a statement to fill the study gap among rural students and the program was meant to empower young minds in some of the most rural and disadvantaged parts of the nation.

The release further added that the army trainers provided special academic training and motivational guidance, built skills, discipline, and confidence to compete on a national platform.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) also added, "These talented young minds are the future of India. Their success is a testament to the fact that talent has no boundary, and with proper mentoring, even the farthest corners of our country can shine."

This historic achievement is an icon of hope and national pride in the Indian Army's tireless mission of nation-building through education, empowerment, and inclusivity. Gajraj Corps wishes these young achievers and their families congratulations on this achievement and to continuing to light up many more to follow.
