Respected minister B C Nagesh sir, We expect you to maintain unity in diversity.Your statement saying Quran and Bible are religious and Gita as moral, is baseless. Just as how every religion teaches good moral values, so does their holy books too.
Do you know that in the court hall, before examining the evidences, the judge would ask the witness to give word that he would speak only the truth by placing his hand on the holy book of his religion. If the witness were to be Muslim the religious book will be the Quran, if he were to be a Christian, the holy book would be Holy Bible, similarly the religious book for a Hindu is Gita.
Let our children learn beautiful morals coming from all the sides. Don’t ever sow the seeds of hatred in the tender hearts….
Focused Study and Adequate Breaks Enable Aakash Institute’s Mrinal Kutteri from Hyderabad to Become National Topper by securing AIR 01 and scoring a perfect 720/720 in NEET UG 2021 ● Mrinal bags AIR 01 thanks to his training at Aakash Institute ● Finds NCERT books and Aakash study materials highly useful in cracking the NEET exam
Hyderabad, November 01, 2021: Following a well-balanced routine marked by focused sessions of study and adequate breaks, Mrinal Kutteri, a student of Aakash Institute Hyderabad has scored a perfect 720 marks in NEET UG 2021 and secured AIR 01. Once a chemical engineering aspirant, Mrinal decided to be a doctor as a class 9 student when he realized that the medical field would give him a better opportunity to serve the society, and a career in healthcare would always be interesting and challenging.
“From day one, my mentors at Aakash Institute asked me to study National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) books thoroughly. Initially I found the NCERT material and other resources from Aakash quite in-depth and exhaustive. But I quickly got into the habit of studying intently for short durations of about 45 minutes and taking a rejuvenating break of 10-15 minutes after that. This proved to be productive, and I could score well in tests,” Mrinal says. For him, breaks mostly meant playing video games or watching TV. His parents – software engineer mother and HR consultant father, did not have to breathe down his neck, as Mrinal had the willpower to get back to his studies after every short break.
“I did not leave my hobbies while preparing for NEET. I think that to do so would have been counterproductive,” Mrinal opines. He says that the lockdown period was a double edged sword. Though there was no time wasted on travel, studying from home could be very distracting. Hence, he made sure that he had an environment optimized for focused study. For instance, he did not have a mobile phone near him when he studied. “I reduced my interactions with friends during the last month before the NEET exam. But I did not cut myself off from the outside world in the name of NEET.”
Commenting about the stupendous success of Mrinal, Mr Aakash Chaudhry, Managing Director, Aakash Educational Services Limited, said, “The entire team at Aakash was rooting for Mrinal, who was one of our brightest students. We found him very confident and consistent. He had the right frame of mind and the headspace needed for his study. He also never missed an opportunity to clear his doubts with his teachers and mentors. He was always the first one to turn in the assignments. The interesting thing about Mrinal is that he never allowed himself to come under any undue pressure or stress. We congratulate Mrinal for winning in style. We wish him all the best with his higher studies and a fulfilling career in medicine.”
Mrinal thanked his teachers and mentors at Aakash for pushing him to improve his performance but without pressuring him. He mentioned that the mock tests he took at Aakash almost every alternate day boosted his confidence in cracking the final NEET exam.
● Sonit who secured AIR 56 credited Aakash Institute’s structured and streamlined coaching sessions for his success
Bengaluru, November 02, 2021: The easiest way to win distractions is to eliminate them was the success mantra for Sonit Sai Reddy Vasipalli, a student of Aakash Institute in Bangalore, who obtained AIR 56 with a score of 705 out of 720 in NEET UG 2021.
One of the things he did, as he was preparing for NEET during the lockdown, was to make sure that there was no smartphone around him. “When you have a phone next to you, it is very hard not to check it. It is not about you or anybody else. It is quite natural,” he feels. The mobile phone he was using for accessing video lectures and other study materials did not have any social media app. “These apps were designed to suck you in and kick you out of your focus,” he reasons. To be 100% fool proof, he even made an arrangement of not knowing the password of the smartphone – every time he had to use it, he explained why he needed it to his mother and asked her to unlock it.
When it came to subjects, it was not easy for Sonit to decide on whether to pursue Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Physics, Chemistry, Maths. He was happy learning both till Class IX. But he realised that he had to make a decision soon, if he were to score high in a competitive exam. Sonit chose the former as he started developing a liking for biology. His mother, who was working as a biochemist and who quit her job to be available for Sonit and his younger sister, helped him make the right decision.
Though Sonit could save time as he did not have to travel to the centre for his classes and tests during the lockdown, he did not know how to use it. He says: “Here is where Aakash came into the picture. The institute had introduced a structure to his preparations from the beginning till the end. It gave me resources like NCERT Maps, diagrams, and formula books. I got new perspectives of the same subject. I did not feel bored.”
His mother pointed out that the staff from Aakash called her quite often to make sure that Sonit was not following his schedule and was not facing any difficulties with his preparations during the lockdown.
Sonit found physics extremely interesting, but he was comparatively weak in organic chemistry. He read over and over again but he could not make much progress. So he tried new ways of conquering the subject. One of them was listening to explanations from Aakash’s staff and writing short notes. With time, he was making progress. Sonit’s future goal is to realise his potential and make a difference to the society in whatever way possible. He is looking forward to joining a reputed medical college.
In his comments about Sonit’s achievement,Mr Aakash Chaudhry, Managing Director, Aakash Educational Services Limited, said, “One thing so special about Sonit is that the moment he knows that he has a potential in something, he makes all the efforts to achieve his full potential. It is not about competing with others, rather doing his best. I think this attitude is what helped Sonit to score big in NEET. I have no doubt that he will shine in whatever he chooses to do in his life. I congratulate Sonit and appreciate his parents for their support and guidance to him.”

* 59% parents of primary and secondary students believe children suffered learning loss
*22% say vaccination of school staff a top priority for full physical attendance
*Parents rate social distancing, healthcare facilities and sports as equally important
Bengaluru, September 20, 2021: At a time when state governments are relaxing lockdown restrictions and schools are reopening after almost 18 months in a phased manner, EdTech major LEAD conducted a survey among parents to learn their views about sending children back to school.
The findings revealed that 59% of respondents felt that their children suffered learning loss due to the pandemic, and 72% Bengaluru parents are willing to send their children back to school. They believe that a complete school experience is possible only with reopening.
The survey was conducted amongst 10,500 metro and non-metro parents whose wards study in classes 1-10.
Keeping in mind the health and safety of children, LEAD’s survey indicated that for 22% of parents, vaccination of school staff is a top priority. Besides, 55% of metro parents rated social distancing as most critical, followed by healthcare facilities (54%); whereas parents from non-metros said sports and social distancing were equally important (52%).
Voicing challenges faced by children and parents during the pandemic, recalled how they used to juggle between ‘work from home’ and ‘school from home’ in the initial days. The study found that 47% of metro parents spent between 3-4 hours a day in their children’s school as compared to 44% in non-metros. Further, the survey indicated that majority of parents (63%) feel that engagement in a physical classroom leads to better social interaction amongst children.
LEAD Co-founder and CEO Sumeet Mehta said, “The last year and a half has not been easy for teachers, principals, schools and most importantly students. Children belonging to the lowest income strata faced the maximum learning loss due to inaccessibility of data and devices. Our survey clearly shows 72% Bengaluru parents say ‘YES’ to sending their children back to school. So let’s listen to parents, while enabling online learning for the 28% who are not ready. Schools need to be treated as essential utilities and parents must send their children back to school with a positive and open mind. Let us prepare to welcome them back to school by undertaking all the necessary precautions and safety measures.”
Higher dissatisfaction among non-metro parents
Only 40% of parents in non-metros said that their children studied on a personal computer, while close to 60% metro parents indicated that their child learnt on a computer/laptop even after a year into the lockdown. Most students from non-metros attended schools via smartphones, which often added to the worries of parents.
Data also indicates that the virtual learning environment of children has been a more worrying factor for non-metro parents than metro parents when it comes to skillsets for the future. 53% metro parents rated problem solving and logical reasoning as the most important skill, as against 47% non-metro parents. Similarly, more than 50% metro parents felt digital literacy was an important skill, as against just 45% non-metro parents. Vocational exposure and skills, ethical and moral listening, and coding and computational skills, were some of the other skills that parents in metros believed were important.
Some common areas of concerns
While 70% parents of both metros and non-metros said both the parents were involved in their children’s learning activities, the share of ‘only mothers’ being involved in their studies was higher in metros (21%) as compared to non-metros (18%), indicating increased responsibilities, especially for working women.
