🖋️ *अभिजीत राणे लिहितात* विद्यार्थ्याच्या आत्महत्येनंतर IIT Bombayने examination misconductसंबंधी नियमांचा फेरविचार करण्याचा निर्णय घेतला, हे योग्य पाऊल आहे; मात्र अशा प्रत्येक घटनेनंतर नियम बदलणे म्हणजे समस्येच्या मुळाशी पोहोचणे नव्हे. परीक्षेतील गैरप्रकार रोखलेच पाहिजेत आणि कॉपीला कोणतीही सहानुभूती असू शकत नाही. पण एका चुकीमुळे विद्यार्थ्याला आपले संपूर्ण आयुष्य संपले असे वाटणार नाही, अशी शिस्त आणि पुनर्वसन यांची संतुलित व्यवस्था शिक्षणसंस्थांनी निर्माण केली पाहिजे. विद्या

Maharashtra certainly needs roads, tourism, investment and employment, but the Sahyadri cannot be treated as vacant real estate waiting for construction. Every hill cut, forest fragmented and natural dr

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Over the years, the public has witnessed countless political "masterstrokes" from Devendra Fadnavis. From leaving Mumbai entirely to the Thackerays despite equal strength, to the failed early-morning oath ceremony with Ajit Pawar, and later engineering splits in both the Shiv Sena and the NCP to grab power.
