Gujarat University has shifted from oral to written examinations for its NEP-aligned two-credit
courses—Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC), Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC), and Indian Knowledge System (IKS).
The sudden transition affects ongoing academics,
and concerns are rising that over 70% of students may face failure due to inadequate preparation.
The recent floods in Assam have caused widespread devastation,
affecting more than five lakh people across over twenty districts.
Heavy pre-monsoon rains, coupled with the sudden release of water from dams,
led to rivers overflowing and inundating large areas of the Brahmaputra valley.
Many villages and towns, including parts of Guwahati, were submerged, forcing thousands to take shelter in relief camps.
A new metro line was recently inaugurated in the city,
providing faster and more convenient travel for thousands of daily commuters.
The modern trains, along with improved stations,
are expected to reduce traffic congestion and save time for passengers.
This development marks a major step toward better public transport and a cleaner, greener city.
