The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has introduced the Gold Card Visa, a 10-year-long residency program for investors, entrepreneurs, and qualified professionals. The visa, renewable every 10 years, grants non-citizens the right to reside, work, and study in the UAE without a local sponsor. This step is likely to support the UAE economy, making it a world-class hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. The move is also part of the country's overall plan to keep high-quality professionals and promote economic diversification.

A new controversy over the position of "Sarpanch Pati," or wives of elected female Sarpanches in India's rural administration system, has again set the stage for the gender empowerment debate. Opponents claim that most elected women leaders struggle to discharge their duties independently, with their husbands dominating their authority. The problem is an indicator of the continued challenges facing women's leadership in grassroots governance and necessitates strict enforcement of policies aimed at empowering female leaders to assert their authority without interference.

The government of Tamil Nadu has raised eyebrows regarding the delimitation exercise, claiming the possibility of methodology flaws and the effect on political representation in the state. According to officials, using the data from the 2011 census might not portray the true picture of current population realities, resulting in the disproportionate distribution of seats in the legislature. The state government has requested the authorities to carry out the process fairly and transparently so that there can be balanced representation. The debate reflects the larger national debates around equitable electoral representation and the requirement for timely data-driven policymaking.

As such significant developments evolve, they foreground essential debates around governance, economic policy, and political balance, informing the conversation in their respective regions and internationally

Refused permission for a Holi event, student leaders reportedly locked their teachers inside a hall and even cut off the power supply at a prominent Indore college, officials said on Tuesday.

Following the incident at the Government Holkar Science College on Monday, the district administration directed an inquiry. Student activists protesting against the refusal to grant permission for a Holi celebration locked a room in which teachers were, and cut off the power supply, an official said.

A few teachers were kept out of the room for nearly half an hour as students raised slogans. A college staff member who was also trapped inside managed to escape through a window and open the door, freeing the teachers.

District Magistrate Ashish Singh termed the incident "extremely serious." The principal of the college Dr Anamika Jain had complained, and an Additional District Magistrate (ADM) was requested to probe the incident, he informed reporters. "Action will be taken accordingly on the report of the ADM," he asserted. No police case has been lodged in the case so far. 

The Holkar Science College was founded 133 years ago by the then Holkar rulers of Indore. A few students had decided to hold the "Holkar Ka Holi Fest" event with an entry charge of Rs 150 on March 7, with DJ performances and a `rain dance', sponsored by a coaching class for civil services exams. Although the administration of the college refused permission for the event, they proceeded and posted posters on campus promoting the same.

A row has emerged at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) after PhD Research Advisory Committee (RAC) interviews for the Yoga subject were conducted without proper notification. A lady PhD candidate, Sonali Atmane, filed a complaint after learning the interviews had already taken place in secrecy. The interviews were conducted without proper intimation to all eligible candidates, disenfranchising some hopefuls. In-charge PhD cell Prof. Ashesh Tiwari has called upon the School of Yoga head to explain.

The interviews on February 18 were conducted without proper intimation to all the candidates eligible, thereby disenfranchising some hopefuls, among them Atmane, who could not show up. In-charge PhD cell Prof. Ashesh Tiwari has since called upon the School of Yoga head to explain. 

Candidates kept in the dark

DAVV PhD admissions commenced in January, and thereafter, the university directed departments to issue RAC notices and arrange interviews between 5th to 28th February. While most departments took it up in that manner, there was no formal announcement regarding Yoga subject interviews. Atmane went to the university on February 17 to find out the procedure but was advised to check the website.

But by February 22, she found out that the interviews were already over and results announced, and thus she complained. The Yoga department has a total of 8 PhD seats, for which 18 candidates were shortlisted upon scrutiny. But because of the lack of notification, only 12 candidates attended the interview.

The Nagpur University organized Modi Script training class from Feb 11-21. Organized jointly by the directorate of archives, Govt of Maharashtra, and department of postgraduate history, the event was formally closed by Shamrao Koreti, dean of the faculty of anthropology, and Modi Script trainers and assistant researchers Sanjay Awale and Bharat Gawli.

Awale stressed that the training is to popularize the significant Modi Script, which thrived in the 12th century and was at its best during the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj period. It is necessary to study the Modi Script to study ancient revenue department records. Though Marathi language, script, and practice are different, it is necessary to study Modi Script to access govt records. Owing to the absence of experts, numerous documents go unread, and so the directorate of archives carries out training throughout Maharashtra, Awale said. Gawli pointed out that an understanding of the Modi Script provides diverse govt job opportunities in archives.

He emphasized that the script could be made into a valuable career through correct training for document translation. The chairperson of the event, Koreti, emphasized that knowing the Modi Script is critical to researchers. Accurate training will result in high-quality research. Key govt documents prior to 1950 were in Modi Script. Rethinking of old documents with this script could assist in planning future undertakings, he said with an optimistic view.

Forty-one students attended the training, mastering the intricacies of writing and reading the Modi Script in 10 days. Most students were satisfied with the training and wanted more such programs. Rambhau Korekar, the coordinator, welcomed the event, and Prof Ashok Naitam welcomed the guest speakers. The event was organized by Achal Salve, and Gaurav Shivankar moved vote of thanks.
