Dept speeds up appointment of guest teachers in Chamarajanagar
Mysuru: To address the shortage of teaching staff in govt primary and high schools, the department of school education and literacy expedited the appointment of 765 guest teachers across Chamarajanagar. The move aims to ensure the smooth functioning of the schools during the academic year. The process will help the department conduct classes hassle-free without any disturbance to students related to teaching aspects. The district bagged the 27th rank in the SSLC results. This year, the department had made all plans to improve the SSLC results and focus on public exams for 8th class students by giving special attention to guest teacher recruitment. As many as 178 guest teacher posts were vacant in high schools in 2025-26, including 664 in primary schools. The state govt permitted guest teachers for high schools on priority as teachers must prepare their students for public exams. Against the 664 pending in primary schools, state govt permitted only the filling of 583 guest teachers from primary schools. The state govt increased the monthly remuneration to Rs 12,000 for guest teachers of primary schools from Rs 10,000. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo It increased to Rs 12,500 for guest teachers at high schools from Rs 10,500 this year. Speaking to TOI, deputy director of public Instruction Ramachandra Raje Urs said that he gave directions to all block education officers to speed up the recruitment of guest teachers. The department also continued the services of most of the guest teachers from the previous year after considering their performance subject-wise. The process is completed in most schools. A clear direction was given to reject candidates bringing recommendation letters, he said. "As govt started the process of appointment of guest teachers to primary and high schools early, it will help students prepare for exams," said Revanna, a retired teacher of Chilakwadi village.

‘How do I talk to him, he is in the box': Mother mourns AI crash victim as body arrives in city after time-consuming DNA confirmation process
Pune: As a sombre crowd gathered at Sant Tukaramnagar in Pimpri on Saturday to bid a final farewell to 22-year-old Irfan Shaikh , a crew member of the ill-fated Air India plane that crashed moments after takeoff in Ahmedabad on June 12, his mother, Taslim, sat frozen in grief, clinging to the coffin containing her son's lifeless body, her eyes fixed and hands trembling as if unwilling to let go of her child. With relatives and her husband Samir trying to console her, Taslim gazed at the coffin and and murmured, "How do I talk to him? He's in the box." The family performed the last rites at the Hazrat Bilal Eidgah cemetery in Nehrunagar, Pimpri Chinchwad, around 10am. Irfan's mortal remains were handed over to the family late Friday evening after DNA confirmation. The family brought the body to Pune airport around 7am on Saturday. A large crowd comprising relatives, friends and politicians from various parties gathered to pay their respects. The 22-year-old, who was very attached to his mother, made it a point to call his mother before every takeoff and after every landing. Having spoken to her before the ill-fated flight took off, the family knew he was on board when the crash occurred. Upon hearing the about the crash, the family rushed to Ahmedabad that evening, but the DNA matching process delayed the handover of his body, relative Taher said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo Azhar Khan, another relative, said Taslim was still in a state of deep shock and unable to come to terms with the irreparable loss. "She has not shed a single tear, she is still in trauma," he said, adding that she continued to dial Irfan's phone number, clinging to the hope that he might somehow respond. "Taslim's silence is concerning us. We want her to express her emotions, to cry or talk, as this numbness is worsening her state," Azhar said. Irfan, a dedicated aviation professional, joined Air Vistara as cabin crew nearly two years ago after completing training in Pune. He initially flew domestic routes and later transitioned to international flights after Vistara merged with Air India. Tragically, his third day back on duty after a short break to celebrate Bakri Eid with his family in Pune turned out to be his last, as Air India Flight 171 crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12. He lived in a rented flat in Mumbai while his family resided in Pune. Among those who gathered to bid him farewell were also his childhood friends from DY Patil School, where Irfan studied up to Std X. "He was one of the few from our group who began working early and made us proud," a friend said, adding, "Even with his hectic schedule, he made time to meet us whenever he was in here." Irfan's father runs a shop in Sant Tukaramnagar, while his elder brother, Amir, is an IT professional and his mother is a homemaker.

‘Plant a tree, fill a water bowl, revive dwindling bird count'
1 2 3 Ludhiana: As skies and forests grow increasingly silent, the once familiar calls of birds are fading from daily life. The decline, experts say, is not just a loss of sound but a warning sign of collapsing ecosystems. In the wake of this, Tejdeep Kaur Kler, principal ornithologist and HoD of zoology at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), has issued an urgent call for citizen action to save the country's dwindling bird populations. "Birdsong is more than a pleasant background sound — it's a vital ecological signal," said Dr Kler, adding, "Its decline signals serious environmental disruption caused by habitat loss, climate change, and human neglect." She said bird populations are declining due to disappearing wetlands, shrinking forests, erratic monsoons, and the spread of urbanisation. A recent national study revealed significant drops in resident species like the Indian Pitta, Sarus Crane, and Oriental Magpie-Robin — birds once common in rural and urban landscapes. But while large-scale conservation policies are crucial, she said, citizens also have a powerful role to play in protecting birdlife. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo One of the most effective steps people can take is to plant native trees and shrubs in their surroundings. Unlike ornamental exotics, native species like jamun, amaltas, peepal, ber, and arjun support local insect populations, which are a primary food source for many birds. Exotic plants may look attractive, but they don't serve the ecological needs of native birds, Kler explained. Birds rely on specific insect cycles, and these insects depend on native flora. By planting native species, you're rebuilding the natural food chain. She also urged city planners and residential societies to replace water-hungry lawns and decorative hedges with native vegetation, which provides both food and nesting spaces for birds. In the face of hotter summers and longer dry spells, providing clean water sources like birdbaths, shallow ponds, or even clay bowls can be lifesaving for birds. In urban heat islands, birds are often dehydrated and stressed. Something as simple as a bowl of water can help. Residents are also encouraged to reduce the use of pesticides in home gardens, as these chemicals kill the insects that birds feed on, especially during breeding season when chicks require protein-rich diets. Noise and light pollution are other major disruptors. Loud music, firecrackers, and constant artificial lighting can interfere with bird communication, especially during mating seasons. "People must understand that our lifestyles are invading natural rhythms," she said. "Turning off outdoor lights at night and limiting unnecessary noise helps birds stay on their biological schedule." Dr. Kler also recommends that citizens participate in bird counts and record sightings on platforms like eBird or BirdCount India. These data help researchers track declining species and identify urgent conservation needs. "Birds are indicators of environmental health," she said. "If we lose them, we are losing a part of our own survival system. It's not too late, but we must act now." In a world of vanishing birdsong, small actions — planting a tree, filling a water bowl, or choosing not to spray a pesticide — can help bring back the music of the skies.
