In October, as the monsoon recedes and the flooded salt pans dry out, farmers and their families hop on to trucks and tractors to migrate to the Little Rann of Kutch in Kutch district, Gujarat, where they pitch tarpaulin shelters and begin mining the underground deposits.

An estimated 10,000 families of farmers, known as agariyas in Gujarati, migrate to the marshes from across the state. They start each season by digging wells to pump out brine using diesel pumps; the brine is then poured into shallow, squarish plots carved on the salt pans and left to evaporate under the sun to produce salt crystals. These marshes produce 30% of India’s inland salt, typically table salt.

Life in the salt marshes is uniquely challenging. Drinking water comes not from pipes but tankers, children attend schools inside buses not buildings, and the only avenue to healthcare is weekly mobile vans from the health department. Basic amenities such as an electricity grid and toilets are nonexistent.

Diesel constitutes nearly 65% of the input costs in salt farming, and about 1,800 litres of the fuel is needed to produce 750 tonnes of salt

Introduction of solar panels to the pans has triggered a significant shift in the lives and lifestyles of the impoverished salt workers.

In 2017, the Gujarat government gave solar pumps to salt farmers at nearly 80% subsidy, as part of a larger push to cut emissions and bring down the costs involved in salt production.

“Solar-powered pumps have reduced the cost of salt farming to one-third of what it was”

With more than 5,500 solar-powered pumps now dotting the region, energy costs have fallen to about 90 rupees to produce one tonne of salt from more than 300 rupees before, according to local campaigners. The agariyas such as Mandviya are no longer as dependent on the capital from traders, which gives them greater negotiating power over salt prices.

Solar pumps and the financial stability they grant have improved access to health, education and mobility, while also offering freedom to salt farmers from an endless work cycle, campaigners say.

“Steady supply from the solar panels is powering not only pumps but also televisions. Children of salt makers are switching to state-run ‘edutainment’ programmes to make up for the loss of education,” says Bhavna Harchandani, a research scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, who has tracked the agariyacommunity as part of her studies. The panels offer rare shade for men to relax during breaks, giving women a few moments of privacy in their makeshift homes, she adds.

Movies I watched this Week #130 (Year 3/Week 26):

Nobody goes to bed on Sunday night in order to wake up early the next morning and read my weekly film reviews... :(

🍿

My first by Pan Nalin from Gujarat, Last Film Show. Definitely, an Indian love letter to the magic of movie-making, a-la 'Cinema Paradiso'. Semi-autobiographical memories of a boy helping the poor projectionist at a remote, primitive village. Sweet, beautiful and sentimental.

It ends with a surprising recitation of names, a list of directors who inspired this homage: Kubrick, Chaplin, Lean, Maya Deren, Godard, Coppola, King Hu, Zhang Yimou, Ozu, Keaton, Spike Lee, Jane Campion, George Méliès, Bigelow.... 7/10.

🍿

2 Road Movies:

🍿 First watch: Zabriskie Point, my 9th by Michelangelo Antonioi, with a screenplay co-written by Sam Shepard. A symbolic counter-cultural cult experiment, about a young student who steals a small Cessna, flies to Death Valley, where he meets a young woman, participate in a dust-covered orgy with her, and flies back, to be shot by the 'pigs'. (Photo Above).

With music by both Pink Floyd AND The Grateful Dead, as well as Roy Orbison AND The Rolling Stones. Also, with G. D. Spradlin! 6/10.

🍿 There were news that Salvation Mountain and the outcast community at Slab City by the Salton Sea had been sold to some kooky religious cult. So this was a good excuse to see Sean Penn's Road movie Into the wild. The true story of a young individual who rejects the material world, and while searching for meaning and self, is escaping to the edge of the world, to the wildness of Alaska. A long, romanticized homage to alternative lifestyles.

🍿

75 years ago this week, the New Yorker published Shirley Jackson's harrowing story 'The Lottery'. A small New England town observes an annual tradition, in which a member of the community is selected by chance and stoned to death to ensure a good harvest and purge the town of bad omens.

A terrifying tale about mob mentality and blind tradition, the story was adapted to educational television (by Encyclopædia Britannica!) in 1969. At 19 minutes long, The Lottery is just as upsetting and intense as the original story. (With Ed Begley Jr. as a little child.) 9/10.

🍿 

My first 2 by Lars von Trier:

🍿 I studied film at the University of Copenhagen at the same time Lars von Trier attended the attached film school there, even though our paths never crossed. When he screened his experimental first feature The element of crime, I thought it was one of the most unusual and mysterious films I had ever seen.

So why did I always resisted seeing any of his other movies? On re-watch, 40 years later, 'Element of Crime' holds up. Multilayered, surrealist, literary and incredibly original. It begs the comparison to heavyweights like Orson Wells in 'The third man', and Fritz Lang's M. Fragmentary, visually masterful, drenched in yellow and red filtering, it's full of dystopian despair, water everywhere, nocturnal rituals and a continent falling apart. Dark and nightmarish, one of the greatest debut films of all time. 7/10.

🍿 Von Trier actually directed another film before that: The 1982, 57-minutes Images of Liberation (Befrielsesbilleder) was his film school graduation film, and it created such a stir, that it was given a regular theatrical distribution, a first in Denmark.

A German officer in 1945 visits his Danish mistress days after the end of the Nazi Occupation. Like the more accomplished 'Element', it's a visually-original manifesto, impressionistic and nearly abstract art, filmed all in sepia and red filters, and again played in a foreign language (German). It's obvious he was a film prodigy even then.

Available on low-res YouTube. 2/10.

🍿

..."Osbourne Cox? I thought you might be worried… about the security… of your shit"...

You stumble across a short clip called What did we learn, Palmer? and immediately you must stop everything you do and re-watch Burn after reading for the umpteen time. Another one of the Coen Brother's infectious, addictive fun rides, where every line of dialogue is memorable, and every single character is unforgettable (Linda Litzke, Manolo, the Tuchman Marsh Man, divorce lawyer, plastic surgeon, David Rasche's CIA guy ...).

Funniest Coen Brothers script + the fantastic dildo machine! 10/10.

🍿

Le Brio ("Brilliance") is a French Comedy about extraordinary law professor Daniel Auteuil who is also a politically-incorrect anti-hero, an old-fashioned racist, misanthropic prick. After he publicly insult a young Arab student, he is being forced to mentor her for a prestigious national debate competition, or lose his tenure. What do you know? In the course of the year of them working together, they learn to respect each other and find humanity in their opposite backgrounds! Lovely with a schmaltzy happy end. 4/10.

🍿 

More misogyny! Woman Haters is a short musical 'novelty' by the Three Stooges from 1934. At one point it was acceptable to tailor a casual slapstick routine around "WH", The Woman Haters Club, without betting an eye. Crude, violent and unfunny. 1/10.

🍿 

The devil all the time, my first unpleasant film with boring, bland actor Tom Holland. It's an Appalachian Hillbilly Gothic, full of dark incidents and over-powering ugliness. Nearly two and a half hours of badly-played tragedies, suicides, White Trash religiosity, serial killings and despair, with too many confusing bad characters, and none worth caring about.

🍿

..."I’m nothing… I’m naval lint"…

Re-watch: True Lies is one of the few action movies I ever loved. From James Cameron, the undisputed champion of Hollywood box office. 90's action And comedy. Another movie that was structured with a stopwatch, so that exactly every 10 minutes, a 'pinch point' took place (The Swiss prologue 0-15, The DC hotel fight 30-40, The Helen interrogation exactly at 1 hour, 10 min. mid-point, Arriving in Florida, exactly at 1:30. Etc.). 7/10.

🍿

The In-laws, the 1979 "classic" sitcom-style comedy with 'Lieutenant Columbo' and "Sheldon the dentist". Also with David Paymer, James Hong and Ed Begley, Jr. But not as funny as it possibly was 40 years ago.

Also, Kevin Pollak Torments Alan Arkin. RIP, Alan Arkin.

🍿

5 More Don Hertzfeld shorts, again:

🍿 "...That's the thing about the present, Emily Prime. You only appreciate it when it is the past..."

Another constant re-watch, his World of tomorrow. the only science fiction movie I love, and one of my most favorite films - ever. The magic lies in the contrast between the scientific explanations of time-travel, neural networks and end-of-the-world vs. the spontaneous voice of the 4-year-old girl who doesn't care about any of it, and just hums "What a beautiful day it is". 10/10.

[I didn't have the heart yet to watch the following 3 episodes of it, even though they are similarly applauded.]

🍿 "For the love of God and all that is holy, my anus is bleeding!"

Rejected, his first Oscar nominated short from 2000. A simple, surrealist collection of anti-consumerist diversions. 9/10.

🍿 Wisdom tooth, a 5-minutes nightmare in mock-Swedish, about a guy trying to help another guy who has a toothache. 9/10.

🍿 His 2014 Simpson Couch Gag, an out-of-this-world dadaist riff on the Simpson opening routine. Mind-bending. I wonder what people thought of it when they sat down to watch the show.

🍿 Watching grass grow, a short time-lapse short of him as he animates his short 'The meaning of life'. Crude homemade animation, low-low-low-tech.

🍿

Wrestling X 2:

🍿 Twenty-five years ago, The Undertaker damn near killed Mankind in one of the greatest 'Hell In a Cell' matches in the history of professional wrestling. Mark Calaway and Mick Foley sat down to re-watch the infamous match that came to redefined each of their careers. [I know it's hard to believe it, but in the mid-90's, I loved watching WWE!]

Calling u/shittymorph!

🍿 Man on the moon, directed by Miloš Forman (so it features his colleague Vincent Schiavelli, but without the subtlety of his early films). A standard biopic about a weird comic with the 'different' sense of humor. Misunderstood genius or an obnoxious prankster? Jim Carrey's Andy Kaufman came across as unlikable, self-centered and uninteresting. With Norm Macdonald. 3/10.

🍿

3 X "So-Bad-I-Couldn't-Finish-Them-Films”:

🍿 Giva't Halfon Eina Ona / "גבעת חלפון אינה עונה" is a classic Israeli "Bourekas-film", which later became a cult film. Bourekas films (Like Spaghetti Westerns) were low-brow, broad comedies based on ethnic stereotypes, and often dealt with conflicts between Mizrahi and Ashkenazi Jews. This one starred the iconic trio 'Hagashashim'. Maybe if somebody saw it first time in 1976, it would be funny, but it aged badly. I lasted 13 minutes.

🍿 While you were sleeping, the apex of 90's romantic comedies and my first by Jon Turteltaub. Most of the chick flicks from that era did not age well, using cliched TV sitcom tropes throughout, from newspaper boys to cute voice mail messages to Christmas gifts. Cringy, saccharine, formulaic.

🍿 A Million Ways to Die in the West, a Seth MacFarlane western comedy, a riff on Blazing Saddles, with bad writing and terrible acting. I lasted for about 45 minutes.

🍿

Throw-back to the "Art project”:  

Adora at Salvation Mountain and at Salton Sea (from 'Into the wild').

🍿

The laws emphasize the protection of indigenous rights, forest conservation, and sustainable development. Recent amendments in Arunachal Pradesh focus on land ownership and resource management to ensure that tribal communities maintain their cultural heritage while benefiting from developmental activities. Efforts to digitize land records and simplify property registration processes are part of the state's drive to modernize its legal infrastructure.

Gujarat State Laws: Driving Industrial Growth and Social Welfare

Gujarat State Laws are designed to support the state’s position as an economic powerhouse. The legal framework includes laws related to industrial regulation, labor rights, urban planning, and environmental conservation. Recent updates have focused on simplifying business regulations to attract foreign investment, enhancing labor laws to protect worker rights, and implementing stricter environmental laws to manage pollution and waste effectively. The Gujarat Land Revenue Code has also been amended to streamline land acquisition processes for public projects.

Conclusion: Navigating India's Legal Landscape

Understanding the latest legal news in India and staying updated with recent legal updates in India is crucial for navigating the country’s complex legal environment. From national amendments to state-specific laws in Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, and Gujarat, each development shapes the way governance, business, and civil rights are handled in India. Furthermore, exploring opportunities at overseas law schools can provide a broader perspective and enhance one’s legal expertise.

Whether you are a legal practitioner, student, or citizen looking to stay informed, keeping up with these changes is essential to understanding your rights, responsibilities, and opportunities in an ever-evolving legal landscape.

Why u should learn Computer 

Computer technology has undeniably advanced dramatically over time. However, everyone does not know how to use a computer, particularly those born before the 1960s, when computers were less widespread. They must study computers, one of which is through training in a computer course, in order to have the abilities to use a computer.

Computer classes are easy to come by nowadays, as they are offered in practically every city. Taking a computer course, on the other hand, is not required for studying computers. Many people have at least studied the computer and have mastered it. Furthermore, many handbooks are compatible with computers that are freely available in bookstores, making computer learning considerably simpler.

In modern times, most people use computers all around the world on a daily basis. You can operate in today's culture and avoid falling behind if you have a basic grasp of computers. We have put together a list of reasons why it is important to learn more about computers as well as some more resources to help you learn more.

Smartphones, tablets, and other digital gadgets are misunderstood by many people. However, this perplexity is another incentive to learn more about computers so that you can understand that all of these devices are computers.

Improving Student Performance

Computers also play a vital role in order to enhance student performance, which makes it more necessary to learn about computers. It has been proven that students who use computers are more consistent in their attendance and do better as compared to those who do not know how to use a computer. Students said that using a computer made them feel more engaged in their courses and work, in addition to receiving better results on tests. When students utilise computers, they become more focused on their work at home, in collaborative projects with other students, and on their own.

Learning about computers help you find a job

As the technology has grown rapidly, today and in the future, almost all professions necessitate some level of technical expertise. If you learn about the computer and software needed for your profession can give you an advantage over other candidates seeking the same position. You can also get benefits in terms of doing the job from your home if you have computer-related skills.

Computers make us more creative and innovative

Have you ever seen a 3-year-old on a computer sketching a cartoon? That is one of the many examples of how computers may help humans become more creative. We will learn new things as we work with various software on our computer. We may also use our imagination to do things like edit photos, create clothing, and make invitation cards, among other things.

TCCI is best computer institute in Ahmedabad. All Programming Languages like c, c++, java, .net etc.MS-office, web-designing, HTML, CSS, Live Project Training given by TCCI at Bopal, Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Say Goodbye to Boring Workouts: Switch to Indian Dance Classes Today

Introduction

Are you tired of the same monotonous gym routines and looking for a fun, energetic way to stay fit? It's time to say goodbye to boring workouts and switch to Indian dance classes! Indian dance offers a vibrant, culturally rich alternative to traditional exercise regimes. With its dynamic movements, rhythmic beats, and expressive storytelling, Indian dance not only provides an excellent workout but also immerses you in the rich cultural heritage of India.

The Benefits of Indian Dance as a Workout

1. Full-Body Workout

Indian dance forms like Bharatanatyam, Kathak, and Bollywood dance engage every part of your body. From intricate footwork and hand gestures to expressive facial movements, these dances provide a comprehensive workout that tones muscles, improves flexibility, and enhances coordination. Each session helps you build strength and stamina while also improving your balance and posture.

2. Cardiovascular Health

The energetic and continuous movements in Indian dance elevate your heart rate, making it an effective cardiovascular exercise. Regular practice can improve heart health, boost circulation, and increase lung capacity. Whether you’re doing the fast-paced Garba or the rhythmic Kathak, your heart will get a healthy workout.

3. Stress Relief

Dance is a fantastic way to release stress and boost your mood. The expressive nature of Indian dance allows you to convey emotions and tell stories through movement, which can be incredibly therapeutic. The combination of physical activity and artistic expression releases endorphins, reducing stress and promoting a sense of well-being.

4. Cultural Enrichment

Engaging in Indian dance classes offers more than just physical benefits; it provides a deep cultural experience. You’ll learn about the history, traditions, and cultural significance behind each dance form. This cultural enrichment can broaden your horizons and deepen your appreciation for Indian heritage.

5. Social Connection

Joining Indian dance classes is a great way to meet new people and build a sense of community. Dance classes are often group activities that encourage collaboration and social interaction. Sharing the experience of learning and performing can foster strong bonds and lasting friendships.

Popular Indian Dance Forms to Try

1. Bharatanatyam

Originating from Tamil Nadu, Bharatanatyam is known for its grace, intricate footwork, and expressive hand gestures (mudras). It’s a classical dance form that tells stories through a combination of rhythm, emotion, and melody.

2. Kathak

Hailing from North India, Kathak is characterized by its fast footwork, spins, and expressive gestures. It’s a storytelling dance that often recounts mythological tales and epic stories through rhythmic patterns and intricate movements.

3. Bollywood Dance

Inspired by the vibrant dance sequences in Indian cinema, Bollywood dance is a fusion of various styles, including classical, folk, and contemporary. It’s energetic, fun, and often set to upbeat music, making it a popular choice for fitness enthusiasts.

4. Garba and Dandiya

These traditional folk dances from Gujarat are usually performed during the Navratri festival. Garba involves circular movements and rhythmic clapping, while Dandiya incorporates the use of sticks. Both dances are high-energy and performed in groups, making them a joyous and communal activity.

Getting Started with Indian Dance Classes

1. Find a Reputable Dance School

Look for dance schools or instructors that specialize in Indian dance forms. Check reviews, ask for recommendations, and choose a place that suits your skill level and learning preferences.

2. Attend a Trial Class

Many dance schools offer trial classes for beginners. Attending a trial class can help you get a feel for the dance style, instructor’s teaching method, and overall class environment.

3. Wear Comfortable Attire

Opt for comfortable clothing that allows for a full range of motion. Traditional dance attire is not mandatory for beginners; you can start with comfortable workout clothes.

4. Stay Consistent

Like any workout routine, consistency is key. Attend classes regularly to see improvements in your fitness and dance skills. Practice at home to reinforce what you’ve learned in class.

5. Have Fun

Most importantly, enjoy the process! Indian dance is a joyous and expressive form of movement. Embrace the cultural elements, have fun with the rhythms, and let the music move you.

Conclusion

Switching to Indian dance classes is an exciting and effective way to revitalize your workout routine. With its blend of physical fitness, cultural enrichment, and emotional expression, Indian dance offers a holistic approach to health and well-being.

Mukesh Ambani: The Visionary Behind India's Economic Surge

India, a nation with a rapidly expanding economy and an ever-growing middle class, has produced a plethora of billionaires in recent decades. Yet, one name consistently shines brightest at the pinnacle: Mukesh Ambani. As the richest person in India, Ambani's influence reaches far beyond his vast business empire, profoundly impacting the Indian economy and society. In this blog, we explore the life, business ventures, and philanthropic efforts of Mukesh Ambani, a man synonymous with wealth and success in India.

Early Life and Education

Mukesh Ambani was born on April 19, 1957, in Aden, Yemen, where his father, Dhirubhai Ambani, was working at the time. The Ambani family moved back to India in the late 1950s, settling in Mumbai. Dhirubhai Ambani later founded Reliance Industries, which began as a small textile company but eventually grew into one of India's largest conglomerates.

Mukesh Ambani attended the Hill Grange High School in Mumbai and later pursued a degree in Chemical Engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology (UDCT) in Mumbai. He furthered his education by enrolling in an MBA program at Stanford University, though he left the program in 1980 to help his father expand the business.

Building Reliance Industries

Upon returning to India, Mukesh Ambani joined Reliance Industries and played a crucial role in the company's diversification and expansion. Under his leadership, Reliance ventured into new areas such as petrochemicals, refining, oil and gas exploration, and telecommunications.

Petrochemicals and Refining

Mukesh Ambani spearheaded the establishment of the world's largest grassroots petroleum refinery in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The refinery, which began operations in 1999, significantly boosted Reliance's production capacity and solidified its position in the global energy market.

From Struggles to Success: The Inspirational Journey of Akash Dubey In the heartland of India, nestled in the rural district of Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, a young boy named Akash Dubey grew up facing challenges that many can scarcely imagine. From a very young age, Akash experienced the harsh realities of poverty. His family, struggling to make ends meet, could hardly afford the basic necessities, let alone the luxury of a quality education. Yet, despite these overwhelming odds, Akash’s story is one of remarkable resilience, relentless determination, and inspiring success.

A Childhood of Hardship Akash Dubey's early years were marked by a series of struggles that would have deterred most people. Growing up in a financially disadvantaged family, even the smallest things were battles to be won. Access to education was a significant hurdle. While many of his peers had the resources to attend well-equipped schools, Akash often had to study under the dim light of a kerosene lamp. His parents, despite their own hardships, instilled in him the importance of education and hard work. Akash often recounts how he would walk several kilometers to school every day, with a hunger for knowledge driving him forward.

The Turning Point Despite the adversities, Akash excelled in his studies. His perseverance paid off when he managed to secure a scholarship for higher education. Moving to the city for college was a turning point in his life. It exposed him to a world of opportunities and the burgeoning field of technology and entrepreneurship. However, the road was far from easy. Akash juggled multiple part-time jobs to support his education, often burning the midnight oil to keep up with his academic and financial responsibilities.

The Birth of Beparr After completing his education, Akash ventured into the corporate world. However, his entrepreneurial spirit was ignited by the struggles he witnessed among small and medium-sized businesses in India. He realized that these businesses, often the backbone of the economy, were struggling due to a lack of resources and connectivity. This realization led to the birth of Beparr, a B2B platform designed to empower small and medium businesses by providing them with the tools and resources needed to thrive in a competitive market.

Building Beparr from Scratch Based in Surat, Gujarat, Akash poured his heart and soul into Beparr, starting with zero capital. The initial days were grueling. He faced numerous rejections from potential investors who were skeptical of his vision. However, Akash's unwavering belief in his idea kept him going. His efforts were soon bolstered by the addition of Neha Shukla, a brilliant technologist and strategic thinker who joined as the Co-Founder and CTO. Neha brought with her a wealth of experience and a shared passion for empowering small businesses.

Together, Akash and Neha worked tirelessly to build Beparr. Slowly but surely, Beparr began to gain traction. Today, Beparr serves over 400,000 retailers, helping them streamline operations, connect with suppliers, and expand their market reach. What began as a modest startup has now grown into a company valued at over $4 million.

A Beacon of Hope Akash Dubey’s journey from a small village in Pratapgarh to the helm of a successful startup in Surat is nothing short of inspirational. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance, hard work, and an unyielding belief in one’s dreams. Akash continues to be deeply connected to his roots, often visiting his hometown to inspire and support young aspiring entrepreneurs.

Beparr, under the dynamic leadership of Akash and Neha, is not just a business; it is a beacon of hope for countless small and medium businesses across India. Their combined vision and dedication have created a platform that drives economic growth and fosters a community of innovation and support.

Akash Dubey’s life story is a powerful reminder that no matter where you come from or what challenges you face, with determination and resilience, you can achieve greatness. His journey, along with Neha Shukla's invaluable contributions, inspires us to dream big, work hard, and never give up, no matter the odds.

Parents' Guide to the Best CBSE Schools in Gandhinagar

Selecting the ideal school for your child is a crucial choice that will shape both their academic and personal growth. Gandhinagar the capital city of Gujarat, is home to several esteemed CBSE schools that promise quality education, a wide range of extracurricular activities, and a nurturing environment. This guide aims to provide parents with key insights into what to look for when selecting the Best CBSE school in Gandhinagar for their child.

1. Academic Excellence

When it comes to education, academic performance is a paramount consideration. Look for schools that have a strong track record of high pass percentages in CBSE board exams. Schools that consistently produce top scorers typically have well-structured academic programs, experienced teachers, and excellent resources.

Tip: Visit the school's website or contact the administration to review past academic results and get an idea of their academic standing.

2. Qualified and Experienced Faculty

The quality of teachers can significantly impact a child's learning experience. Qualified and experienced faculty members are crucial for delivering comprehensive and effective education.

Tip: Inquire about the qualifications and experience of the teaching staff. Consider schools that invest in continuous professional development for their teachers to keep them updated with the latest teaching methodologies and subject knowledge.

3. Infrastructure and Facilities

Modern infrastructure and state-of-the-art facilities contribute significantly to a conducive learning environment. A good CBSE school should have well-equipped classrooms, science and computer labs, libraries, and sports facilities.

Tip: Schedule a visit to the school to personally inspect the infrastructure and facilities. Pay attention to the cleanliness, maintenance, and safety measures in place.

4. Holistic Development Programs

Education is not just about academics. Schools that focus on the holistic development of students through extracurricular activities, arts, sports, and life skills training are highly desirable.

Tip: Ask about the variety of extracurricular programs offered. Schools that encourage participation in activities such as music, dance, drama, debates, and sports help in nurturing well-rounded personalities.

5. Student-Teacher Ratio

A lower student-teacher ratio ensures personalized attention and better support for each student. It enables teachers to understand individual strengths and weaknesses and tailor their teaching methods accordingly.

Tip: Look for schools that maintain a healthy student-teacher ratio, ideally not exceeding 30:1. This ensures that your child will receive adequate attention and support in their academic journey.

6. Safety and Security Measures

Safety is a non-negotiable aspect of any school. Ensure that the school has robust safety and security measures in place, including CCTV surveillance, secure campus boundaries, and trained security personnel.

Tip: Discuss with the school administration about their safety protocols, emergency preparedness, and measures taken to prevent bullying and ensure student well-being.

7. Parental Involvement

Schools that encourage parental involvement tend to have better student outcomes. Regular parent-teacher meetings, transparent communication channels, and active parent associations are indicators of a school's commitment to involving parents in the educational process.

Tip: Check how frequently the school organizes parent-teacher interactions and how they keep parents informed about their child's progress and school activities.

8. Location and Transportation

The school's location and the availability of safe transportation are practical considerations. A school closer to home reduces travel time and fatigue for your child.

Tip: Consider schools that provide reliable transportation services. Verify the safety standards of the school buses, including trained drivers and attendants.

9. Affordability and Value for Money

While quality education often comes at a cost, it’s essential to find a school that offers value for money. Compare the fee structures of different schools and the facilities they offer.

Tip: Look beyond the tuition fees and consider additional costs such as transportation, uniforms, books, and extracurricular activities. Choose a school that provides the best balance between cost and quality of education.

10. Reviews and Testimonials

Feedback from current and former students and their parents can provide valuable insights into the school's environment and quality of education.

Tip: Look for reviews and testimonials online, and if possible, talk to parents whose children are currently enrolled in the school. Their first-hand experiences can help you make a well-informed decision.

Conclusion

Selecting the best cbse schools in gandhinagar for your child involves thorough research and careful consideration of various factors. By focusing on academic excellence, qualified faculty, infrastructure, holistic development, safety, and parental involvement, you can ensure that your child receives a quality education in a nurturing environment. Remember, the best school for your child is one that aligns with your educational values and meets the unique needs of your child.

The tale of Ambani family’s way to success

The Ambani family is renowned across India for their wealth and influence. However, few know that their journey began from humble origins. Let's delve into the inspiring tale of the Ambani family's rise to prominence.

Dhirubhai Ambani, the patriarch of the family, was born in a small village in Gujarat, where his father worked as a school teacher. Despite modest beginnings, Dhirubhai's entrepreneurial spirit shone through from a young age. He initiated a small business selling snacks to pilgrims visiting a sacred site, laying the groundwork for his future success.

At just 17 years old, Dhirubhai ventured to Yemen for work. There, he took on the role of a gas station attendant, far from glamorous but filled with determination to carve out his path to success. With little more than a dream and a handful of money, he returned to India, fueled by ambition.

In 1977, Dhirubhai took a daring leap and established a textile trading company, alongside his cousin Champaklal Damani. Together, they sowed the seeds of what would blossom into a colossal business empire.

Starting small, Dhirubhai faced numerous challenges, including limited space and resources. However, his unwavering resolve propelled him forward, overcoming obstacles and paving the way for growth.

Yet, like any journey to success, the Ambani family encountered setbacks. Their resilience was tested when an unauthorized biography, shedding light on their trials and tribulations, stirred legal issues. Despite the turmoil, they remained steadfast, steadfast in their pursuit of greatness.

Today, the Ambani legacy endures. Dhirubhai's son, Anil Ambani, confronts his own trials as his businesses weather losses. Despite the setbacks, Anil remains determined to resurrect his family's fortunes, signalling a forthcoming resurgence.

The Ambani family's story epitomizes the power of hard work and determination. From humble beginnings, they ascended to become one of India's most influential families, inspiring countless individuals to pursue their dreams relentlessly.

In the face of adversity, the Ambani family perseveres, proving that with resilience and unwavering resolve, anything is possible. Their journey serves as a beacon of hope, urging us all to never relinquish our aspirations, no matter the magnitude of the challenges we encounter.
