Under the PM Vidyalaxmi initiative, any student admitted to a quality higher education institution (QHEI) will be eligible for a collateral-free, guarantor-free loan from banks and financial institutions to cover the total amount of tuition fees and other course-related expenses. The scheme will be administered using a simple, transparent, student-friendly, interoperable and digital system.

First Trip to Goa with Friends: Epic Adventures and Hilarious Memories I'll Never Forget
We’ve all planned trips that never happen during our student life—unless it’s a so-called educational trip or some “oh-so-important” excursion. But how many of you relate to this? “Goa chalte hein yaar”—a phrase every friend group has heard at least a hundred times. I’m no different. So today, I’m sharing the tragic saga of our ill-fated Goa trip. After navigating the emotional pyaar bhari dhamkiyan from my mom (“Woh Goa wale bacche ache nahi hote!”), my dad’s financial lectures (“Do you think money grows on trees?”), and the constant tang Adana by siblings (“If you go, I’m telling Mom you failed that test”), we finally made a pact. Fourteen of us—10 boys and four girls—decided it was now or never: A grand five-day trip to Goa!

The Haunted Street of Ahmedabad!
We all have been in a ghost situation once in our life. However, mine are uncountable; what can I do? I'm just their FAVOURITE. So, let me take you to that cold movement of summer 2016. Due to the excitement of sleeping on our new penthouse's terrace, my Dad, me and little brother didn't go to my Masi's place.
The Not-So-Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Manali Trip
Hey folks, listen up! First things first, I’m not some influencer or celebrity getting free sponsored trips—let’s clear that air. My story is a little different. So, let’s rewind to the pre-COVID era, back when sanitisers weren’t something we carried in our pockets (correct me if I’m wrong!). It’s November 5th, 2018, exactly the day after our third semester exams wrapped up. That’s when the big Announcement made me more popular! Our department dean casually announced, "So, you all need to plan an excursion trip and Adya will lead you all."

Everyone's use of technology has magnified over time, whether they are three years old or 80 years old. Today, technology is present at all times and in all locations. The world today's sedentary lifestyle has severely impacted not only them but also the environment in which we live. Although it is undeniable that technology has been used as a tool for environmental degradation caused by human activity, not all environmentalists agree on the issue of eliminating technology. Despite the fact that many people believe that technology is more of a curse than a blessing, it is asserted and thought that technology itself is not bad; rather, what makes it detrimental is how humans misuse it. Technology is a tremendous tool that has the potential to enhance both our environment and our quality of life. Technology use, however, can also have the opposite result: the destruction of nature. Technology has always had two sides to it. Although it has increased our productivity, it has also had a negative impact on the environment. People have been debating whether or not technology harms nature for a very long time. There is, however, no obvious solution.
