“They say dreams have no age — and 71-year-old Tarachand Agarwal has just proved it.” By clearing one of the most prestigious and challenging exams in India — the Chartered Accountancy (CA) exam — he has broken not just age barriers but also inspired a whole generation of youth and senior citizens alike.

Hailing from Rajasthan’s Sikar district, Tarachand Agarwal had retired as a manager from the State Bank of India. But retirement for him wasn’t about slowing down — it was about rediscovering an old dream. Instead of settling into a life of rest, he decided to pursue what he had left behind: becoming a CA. And with the same discipline and dedication as any young aspirant, he started studying again.

Family Became His Strength
His journey was far from lonely. His entire family stood behind him like a rock. His son arranged online study material, his daughter-in-law ensured he ate on time, and his granddaughters made motivational charts to keep his spirits high. The household transformed — it felt just like a student’s home before exams.

Even ICAI Congratulated Him
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) also acknowledged his incredible achievement with a congratulatory tweet, stating, “Mr. Tarachand Agarwal has shown the nation that learning has no age limit. He is a true inspiration to us all.”

What’s Next for CA Tarachand?
Speaking about his future plans, Tarachand said:
“I want to mentor rural youth who drop out of studies due to financial constraints or lack of self-belief. I want them to know — if I can become a CA at the age of 71, they can achieve anything too.”

Lucknow | July 8, 2025

In a major relief to the Yogi Adityanath-led government, the Allahabad High Court’s Lucknow bench has upheld the state’s decision to merge nearly 5,000 government schools with low student enrollment. The court dismissed a petition filed by 51 students from Sitapur district who had challenged the move, calling it a violation of their Right to Education.

The High Court clarified that this is not a case of school closures, but of “pairing” — where smaller schools with fewer than 50 students are being linked to nearby better-equipped institutions to improve quality and access to education.

What the Court Said

• Not mandatory to have a school within 1 km: The bench, headed by Chief Justice Pankaj Bhatia, stated that the Constitution guarantees education under Article 21A but does not specifically mandate that a school must be located within 1 kilometer of every child’s home.
• “Pairing, not shutting down”: The court accepted the government’s argument that the policy is not about closing schools, but about optimizing resources and ensuring that students get access to better infrastructure, teaching, sports, and digital learning tools.
• Wastage of resources: The state also argued that several schools were running with extremely low enrollments and misutilization of resources — including teachers and funds.

Concerns Raised by Petitioners

• Distance and safety: Parents argued that merging schools would force young children to travel longer distances, which could increase dropout rates and pose safety risks.
• No survey or consultation: The petition also questioned why the government proceeded with such a massive change without publishing any survey, public report, or seeking inputs from stakeholders.

What Happens Now

• The High Court has cleared the way for the state to proceed with the pairing process.
• However, the door remains open for further legal action, as some education unions and political groups are reportedly considering taking the matter to the Supreme Court.

Jaipur, June 28, 2025 – Classrooms may have been quiet, but learning was louder than ever at DAV Centenary Public School, Jaipur, where teachers became students once again.

From June 26 to 28, 2025, the school hosted a powerful Offline Three-Day Capacity Building Programme (CBP) Cycle-I under the aegis of DAV Centre for Academic Excellence (DAVCAE), New Delhi.

Training with a Purpose, Teaching with a Heart

Set across 11 different venues, the CBP wasn’t just a workshop—it was a movement. From Primary to Senior Secondary, from English to Science, and even Sanskrit to EEDP, each subject found its voice through hands-on sessions, thoughtful discussions, and expert insights shared by 31 DAVCAE-trained Master Trainers.

What made this training unique was its soul. It wasn’t about adding more chalk to the board; it was about lighting a new spark in each teacher. Topics like experiential learning, inclusive education, ICT integration, and pedagogical innovation became more than concepts—they became goals.

A Celebration of Wisdom, Music, and Togetherness

The programme began on a graceful note with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp, followed by a heartfelt welcome by Mr. A.K. Sharma, Principal of the host school and ARO of RTC Jaipur Cluster.

But this wasn’t just about academic rigor. Each evening bloomed into a musical celebration, where teachers, educationists, and even alumni came together—not just to perform, but to connect, express, and celebrate their shared purpose. These cultural evenings reminded everyone that behind every textbook is a human story.

Voices that Inspired: Messages from Leaders

Words of encouragement from Mr. Navneet Thakur (Cluster Head, RTC Rajasthan Zone-A) and Mr. Harbans Thakur (Principal, DAV HZL Sr. Sec. School, Zawar Mines) echoed throughout the event. Both leaders urged teachers to walk into classrooms not just with lesson plans, but with empathy, innovation, and collaboration.

Participants didn’t just attend—they engaged. They shared experiences, exchanged ideas, and walked away with new strategies, deeper clarity, and a renewed passion for teaching.

Gratitude, Certificates, and a Peaceful Goodbye

The programme concluded with a sincere vote of thanks by Mr. A.K. Sharma, who acknowledged every principal, teacher, and coordinator who made this event a success. Certificates of participation were awarded, not just as tokens but as symbols of commitment and growth.

As the event ended with the soulful chanting of the Shanti Mantra, there was a shared understanding: when teachers learn together, students shine brighter.
