Central Board of Secondary Education is soon to teach regressive ideas on caste and gender to its XI and XII students. An elective course ‘Knowledge, Traditions and Practices of India’ has rolled in controversy for its remarks on women and caste. A section under ‘Life Sciences: Ayurveda for Life, Health and Well-Being’ discusses Oath of Caraka. Oath of Caraka is an ancient Indian oath for the initiation of medical students.

No rain in Delhi after cloud seeding trials. Why did the experiment flop?
Delhi conducted cloud seeding experiments to induce artificial rain and reduce pollution but saw no rain due to low moisture in clouds. Despite no rain, the cloud seeding trials led to a slight improvement in air quality, with PM2.5 and PM10 levels dropping in targeted areas. More cloud seeding experiments are planned, depending on atmospheric conditions, to further address Delhi's pollution issues.
