When the National Education Policy was cleared in July 2020, it promised a bold reset — from curriculum and exams to college degrees and classroom language. Five years on, some of that vision has made it to students. But much remains caught in Centre-state tussles, unprepared institutions, or pending paperwork.

Both India and China have been forced to overlook their differences in the wake of Trump's tariff tsunami. But is it a simple thing for India to align (and trade) with China at the expense of the US?

More than 800 people were killed and thousands more injured as a major earthquake struck southeastern Afghanistan, one of the worst such disasters in the country in recent years. As authorities scramble to rescue survivors, here is a look at what happened, and the devastation the tremors caused. WHERE DID THE QUAKE STRIKE? The epicentre of the 6.0 magnitude quake, which occurred at 11:47 p.m. local time (1917 GMT) at a depth of 10 km (6 miles), lay near the eastern city of Jalalabad - among the five largest cities in Afghanistan, and the capital of Nangarhar province. Tremors were also felt in other South Asian countries, including neighbouring Pakistan and India. WHAT WAS THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE? More than 800 people died and 2,800 others were injured as the tremors buffeted several areas of Nangarhar and the neighbouring province of Kunar, where three villages were completely flattened. Both provinces are located on Afghanistan's border with Pakistan. While Kunar, which alone recorded more than 600 deaths, lies in the Hindu Kush mountain range, Nangarhar is located to the south of it.

India’s 2027 headcount is set to be its first Digital Census. The Registrar General of India has sought Rs 14,618.95 crore to run the exercise, which will include caste enumeration for the 1st time and real-time tracking via a new Census Monitoring & Management System. Two phases are planned: houselisting from April to September 2026; population enumeration from February 2027 nationwide, and in September 2026 for Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. More than 35 lakh enumerators and supervisors will use dedicated mobile apps, alongside a self-enumeration option. The decennial Census, uninterrupted since 1872, was delayed by six years after the pandemic derailed the 2021 round. It will gather village, town and ward-level data on housing, amenities, demography, religion, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, language, literacy, education, economic activity, migration, and fertility. With a projected population of 143.6 crore in 2027, the outlay works out to about Rs 101.8 per person.

Across the fertile plains of Pakistan's Punjab, families are struggling to rebuild their lives after the worst flooding in decades swept away homes, destroyed crops, and drowned livestock. "Thirteen of my 15 acres are gone," said Muhammad Amjad, 45, a rice and potato farmer in Chiniot, as he stood by submerged fields. "Our rice is completely destroyed. Women and children have evacuated. Men are left guarding what remains." The provincial disaster management authority said more than 2 million people have been affected, with more than 2,000 villages inundated. Approximately 760,000 people and 516,000 animals have been evacuated, and at least 33 people have died in less than a week.
Afghan earthquake of magnitude 6 kills 622, injures over 1,500 More than 600 people were killed and over 1,500 injured in one of Afghanistan's worst earthquakes, authorities said today (Sept 1), as helicopters ferried the wounded to hospital after they were plucked from rubble being combed for survivors. The disaster will further stretch the resources of the South Asian nation already grappling with humanitarian crises, from a sharp drop in aid to a huge pushback of its citizens from neighbouring countries. The earthquake was Afghanistan's deadliest since June 2022, when tremors of magnitude 6.1 killed at least 1,000 people. Images from Reuters Television showed helicopters ferrying out the affected, while residents helped soldiers and medics carry the wounded to ambulances.
