She could not secure admission to IIT-BHU as she failed to pay fees due to financial crisis
An Allahabad High Court judge has come to the rescue of a Dalit girl who could not secure admission to the IIT-BHU in Varanasi for failing to pay the fees of ₹15,000 due to a financial crisis brought about by her father’s illness. The judge volunteered to pay the requisite fees.
Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh contributed ₹15,000 for the allocation of the girl’s seat and handed over the sum to her on Monday.
Justice Singh also directed the Joint Seat Allocation Authority and IIT-BHU to admit the student, Sanskriti Ranjan, to the Mathematics and Computing course (five-year, dual-degree Bachelor and Master of Technology).

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
