HealthSep 19Women-led committees to monitor nutrition, early education at every Anganwadi in GujaratGandhinagar, Sep 19 (IANS) Gujarat will constitute women-led Anganwadi Management Committees (AMCs) at every Anganwadi Centre in the state to increase community participation in nutrition, healthcare and early childhood education, while improving monitoring of services for children and mothers. The decision, taken under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, is aimed at strengthening the grassroots implementation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mission Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0'. The committees will focus on reducing malnutrition and developmental delays among children aged 0 to 6 years and supporting their overall development. "Under the guidance of Women and Child Development Minister Manisha Vakil, each AMC will be constituted by the concerned Child Development Project Officer (CDPO). All seven members of the committee will be women, with the woman supervisor serving as Chairperson and the Anganwadi worker as Member-Secretary," officials said. The committee will also include an ASHA worker, two mothers of children aged 3 to 6 years enrolled at the Anganwadi, a woman member of a local Self-Help Group (SHG) or NGO/CSO, and a woman teacher from the nearest government primary school. The arrangement is intended to improve coordination between Anganwadi, health, education and local self-government institutions, while giving the community a greater role in ensuring transparency and accountability in service delivery. AMCs will meet once every two months at the Anganwadi Centre to review its functioning and the quality and timely delivery of services. They will examine facilities including the Anganwadi building, drinking water, toilets, kitchen, storage, furniture, equipment, Teaching Learning Material (TLM), food quality and hygiene. The committees will also monitor supplementary nutrition services, including Take Home Ration (THR) and Hot Cooked Meals (HCM), with attention to food quality, freshness, hygiene and nutritional standards. They will review the growth of children aged 0 to 6 years, developmental milestones of children aged 0 to 3 years, health check-ups, identification of malnourished children, referrals and follow-up of referred cases. Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) will form another key area of monitoring. The committees will review daily pre-primary activities under 'Aadharshila', curriculum-based activities and Children's Day theme-based activities, besides checking whether records relating to children's development and monthly activities are maintained properly. "The initiative will also help ensure that eligible beneficiaries are not left out of Anganwadi services. Through household surveys and community mapping, the committees will support identification of pregnant women, lactating mothers and children aged 0 to 6 years," officials asserted. They will monitor registration, attendance and inclusive services for children with special needs, besides ensuring that beneficiary information on the Poshan Tracker is updated. AMCs will also encourage parents, volunteers, private organisations, corporate entities, NGOs, CSOs and other community groups to contribute time, skills and resources to Anganwadi Centres. Support in the form of toys, clothes, activity materials and educational resources will be encouraged, while Panchayati Raj Institutions and Urban Local Bodies will be involved in establishing and maintaining Poshan Vatika or Nutri-Gardens. At least four of the seven members, including the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson, will have to be present for a meeting. Decisions will be taken by consensus wherever possible and by majority when required. Minutes, including attendance, discussions, decisions and follow-up status, will be recorded in the prescribed format and submitted to the concerned CDPO within seven days. The CDPO will review the functioning of each committee at least twice a year. Major issues that cannot be resolved locally will be referred to the Programme Officer and CDPO. The state government said the mechanism would bring mothers, ASHA workers, teachers, SHG members and other community representatives into the regular review of nutrition, child growth, early education, hygiene, infrastructure, beneficiary coverage and grievance redressal at Anganwadi Centres. The initiative comes as the Centre has also focused on strengthening ECCE and nutrition services, with approval given in July 2026 for upgrading two lakh Anganwadi Centres as Saksham Anganwadis. --IANS mys/sd/thehawk_in · india

WorldSep 19Puducherry gears up for hosting star-studded India A-Australia A multi-format gamesPuducherry, Sep 19 (IANS) The coastal city of Puducherry is gearing up for a star-studded series when India A take on Australia A in two unofficial four-day red-ball matches, followed by three one-dayers to be played at the picturesque CAP-Siechem Stadium. Since becoming a full member of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2019, the Cricket Association of Pondicherry (CAP) has hosted under-19 international matches. But this will be its first time staging an entire A series, with notable international stars featured in both line-ups. The first unofficial Test will be played from September 22 to 25, while the second game will take place from September 29 to October 2. The three one-dayers will be held on October 6, 9 and 11 respectively. Both teams trained at the ground on Saturday. Peter Handscomb and Ashes-winning pacer Brendan Doggett, along with Jhye Richardson, headline a strong 15-man Australia A squad for the multi-day component, while Mahli Beardman and Spencer Johnson add considerable firepower to the squad picked for the subsequent 50-over games. Test batters, captain Devdutt Padikkal and Sai Sudharsan, who is returning from a right toe injury, feature in both formats for India A. Other capped players in the red-ball India A side include Tushar Deshpande and Anshul Kamboj, with Tripurana Vijay set to replace the injured Vijaykumar Vyshak in the line-up. In the run-up to the matches, India A had a preparatory camp at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Star seam-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has been out of action since IPL 2026 due to various injuries, has been picked for the limited-overs series, with his inclusion subject to fitness clearance. “This is a great opportunity for young Puducherry cricketers to witness live international cricket up close and draw inspiration from these players. The series is also a chance to showcase our world-class cricket facility to a global audience,” said P Damodaren, founder of the Cricket Association of Pondicherry, in a statement. Spectators can contact the CAP office for tickets, according to CEO Mayank Mehta. “The main stadium has a seating capacity of 5000, and we look forward to a considerable turnout,” he added. --IANS nr/vithehawk_in · india
PoliticsSep 19Poor learning outcomes, underfunding, politicisation: Bangladesh’s education system fails its childrenDhaka, Sep 19 (IANS) Bangladesh has largely failed to make education a vehicle for building capability and character, with the country’s educational crisis reflecting that fundamental failure, a report has stated. It noted that the crisis is often presented as a series of disconnected problems — exam cheating, poor learning outcomes, a curriculum focused on memorisation rather than critical thinking, weak technical training, politicised universities and chronic underfunding. Yet these are not isolated failures, but recurring manifestations of the same underlying weakness in the education system, according to an editorial in Bangladesh’s 'Daily Star' newspaper. Citing the World Bank’s 2024 estimate, it said that 51 per cent of Bangladeshi children are unable to read and understand an age-appropriate text by the end of primary school — a particularly alarming figure given that almost all children in the country are enrolled in school. “This is no longer a country failing to reach its children; it is a country reaching them and failing to teach most of them adequately. Access was the first problem, and Bangladesh made progress on it; learning is the harder one,” the report noted. It further noted that public spending on education in Bangladesh has remained at around two per cent of GDP or less for years, falling far short of the 4–6 per cent benchmark set by UNESCO’s Education 2030 framework “Money alone will not repair bad governance, weak teaching or a defective curriculum — pouring more into badly governed institutions can simply produce more expensive failure. But the converse is equally true: no country acquires excellent teachers, modern laboratories and competitive universities on bargain-basement financing. Bangladesh has to spend more and spend better—both, not either,” the report mentioned. All these failures, it argued, lead to the same economic reckoning: Bangladesh is failing to build human capability fast enough to match its economic ambitions. “A badly educated child in 2026 will be in the prime of their working life in 2050. Today's struggling primary-school student, tomorrow's underqualified technician; today's rote-taught vocational student, tomorrow's productivity ceiling; today's politicised university, tomorrow's hollow research base; today's poorly taught undergraduate, tomorrow's poorly prepared teacher; and today's underfunded classroom, tomorrow's skills shortage,” the report detailed. “And skills shortages, unlike factories, cannot be repaired quickly. Factories can go up in a few years; investment regulations can be rewritten in months. Human capability takes a generation, and Bangladesh does not have a spare one,” it added. --IANS scor/asthehawk_in · india

BusinessSep 19NSE IPO GMP crashes over 60 pc from peak ahead of Dalal Street debutDigital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 19 (IANS) The initial public offering (IPO) of National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) -- which was opened for subscription on Thursday -- witnessed a substantial decline in its grey market premium (GMP) from the peak of Rs 218 on Saturday. According to online platforms that track the GMP, the public issue's GMP declined as much as 61.46 per cent to Rs 84 by 2 pm from a peak of Rs 218 on September 11. In addition, the Rs 22,569-crore initial public offering of the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) was fully subscribed on the second day of bidding on Friday. The issue received bids for 10,28,43,656 shares against 8,86,42,911 so far, as per data available with the BSE. However, the IPO includes an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 12.64 crore equity shares by existing shareholders which means the proceeds from the share sale will not go to the exchange. The company has fixed the price band for the IPO between Rs 1,700 and Rs 1,785 per equity share which indicates a market capitalisation of up to Rs 4.42 lakh crore at the upper end of the price band. Moreover, the IPO will conclude next week on September 21 and expected to make its Dalal Street debut on September 24. In addition, the GMP is an unofficial indicator of the premium investors may be willing to pay over an IPO’s issue price before the shares are listed. Also, it is not an official market metric and does not guarantee that the stock will list at a premium. Additionally, the exchange reported revenue from operations of Rs 16,601.31 crore in FY26, compared with Rs 17,140.67 crore in FY25, a decrease of more than 3 per cent year-on-year. Meanwhile, revenue from transaction charges — one of NSE’s key sources of income — also declined during the period, falling to Rs 13,057.01 crore in FY26 from Rs 13,635.76 crore in FY25, suggesting a year-on-year decline of around 4 per cent.bhaskarlive_in · india
