Rakshabandan
Tying a rakhi symbolises the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister. In a similar manner students of Mahatma Global Gateway tied rakhis to the trees, honouring them as brothers and just as a brother pledges to care of his sister, they pledged to take care of the trees.

Vikaasa shines in shooting contest

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
