Chennai, Tamil Nadu (February 02, 2026) FIITJEE Global School’s Excel Campus has received Special Recognition in the Schools Category for Excellence in Integrated Residential School for JEE and NEET Preparation at the Times Education Icons 2025-26, Chennai Schools, Pre Schools and Education Institutions Survey.

This award acknowledges a rare schooling model where structured residential life and focused preparation for competitive examinations exist within the same academic system.

Excel Campus was created with a clear purpose. To give serious JEE and NEET aspirants a distraction-free environment where schooling, preparation, discipline, and personal care are part of one integrated routine. Students do not shuttle between school and coaching centres. They do not follow fragmented schedules. Everything they need is available within one well-designed campus.

Students at Excel Campus follow a planned daily routine. Academic hours are structured. Study hours are monitored. Doubt-clearing sessions are regular. Mentoring is constant. Equal attention is given to rest, fitness, and emotional well-being.

The residential environment is not built on pressure. It is built on clarity and structure. Students know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. This reduces anxiety and improves focus.

“Our residential model helps students stay focused without feeling pressured. It gives them clarity, structure, and the right support at the right time,” said senior academic representative from FIITJEE Global School.

The Excel Campus is a result of FIITJEE Global School’s belief that competitive preparation should not come at the cost of schooling or student well-being. Instead, both must work together.

The recognition from Times Education Icons highlights how this integrated approach is being seen as a benchmark in residential schooling for competitive readiness.

The campus also ensures students remain connected to sports, fitness routines, and peer interaction. Physical activity and mind-body wellness remain part of the daily schedule. This balance plays an important role in helping students sustain long preparation cycles without burnout.

The award also reflects the school’s larger academic framework, the 8-Pillar Model of Excellence, where academic mastery, communication skills, physical fitness, value education, personality development, higher order thinking, and innovation-led learning are part of everyday schooling.

At Excel Campus, students are not only preparing for JEE and NEET. They are learning discipline, time management, independent thinking, and self-reliance. These habits stay with them long after exams are over.

This Special Recognition places FIITJEE Global School’s Excel Campus among the few institutions in Chennai that have successfully created a meaningful blend of residential schooling and competitive exam preparation within one system.

Chennai, Tamil Nadu (February 02, 2026) FIITJEE Global School Chennai has been recognised as an Excellent School (National) in the South Zone at the Times Education Icons 2025-26, Chennai Schools, Pre Schools and Education Institutions Survey.

This recognition comes at a time when the school has demonstrated consistent academic results and a structured approach to preparing students for both board examinations and national competitive exams.

These outcomes are supported by FIITJEE Global School’s expanded 8-Pillar Model of Excellence, where academic learning is combined with communication skills, fitness, values, wellness, personality development, higher order thinking, and innovation-driven learning.

“School education must prepare students to think independently and adapt to future challenges. Our framework is designed with that clarity,” said senior academic representative from FIITJEE Global School.

The school’s learning environment goes beyond classrooms. Large-scale student events, inter-school competitions, sports tournaments, academic challenges, and leadership forums are part of the academic calendar. These are mapped directly to the school’s pillars of development.

Sports also remain an active focus. The Under-14 girls volleyball team recently finished as runners-up at the CBSE Cluster Volleyball National Finals, reflecting the school’s emphasis on physical fitness alongside academics.

This award acknowledges FIITJEE Global School’s ability to create a balanced ecosystem where academic discipline, experiential learning, and competitive readiness work together.

Students here are not only trained to score well. They are trained to think clearly, communicate confidently, and carry themselves with maturity. That is what makes the recognition meaningful.

Chennai, Tamil Nadu (February 02, 2026) Kidus Optimus, the early childhood learning wing of FIITJEE Global School, has been recognised as an Excellent Preschool at the Times Education Icons 2025-26, Chennai Schools, Pre Schools and Education Institutions Survey.

This recognition brings attention to something often overlooked. The importance of the first seven years of a child’s life.

Kidus Optimus was built on a simple belief. Early childhood is not the time for academic pressure. It is the time to build how a child thinks, feels, speaks, and relates to the world.

Designed for children between three and seven years, the preschool follows a neuroscience-informed approach that focuses on cognitive growth, emotional security, language development, and sensory learning.

Children here do not sit through long academic sessions. They learn through storytelling, phonics activities, music, movement, creative play, and early STEM exposure. Curiosity is encouraged. Exploration is natural. Learning happens without fear.

“The early years shape how children think and communicate for the rest of their lives. Our goal is to protect the joy of childhood while building strong foundations,” said a senior academic representative from Kidus Optimus.

The preschool environment is carefully designed to make children feel safe, expressive, and confident. Teachers focus on observation and gentle guidance rather than instruction and correction.

Kidus Optimus also places strong emphasis on parent involvement. The school conducts regular interactive sessions titled “How to Raise a Supernova Child,” where parents understand how early experiences influence long-term learning outcomes.

These sessions help families see why emotional stability, communication skills, and sensory development matter more than early academics.

This award recognises Kidus Optimus as a preschool that respects childhood, understands brain development, and prepares children for schooling in the right way.

It also reflects FIITJEE Global School’s larger philosophy that education must begin with strong foundations before moving towards academic achievement.

By the time children move from Kidus Optimus into formal schooling, they carry confidence, curiosity, communication ability, and emotional maturity with them. That is the real success of early learning.

Chandigarh [India], January 29: HARLEY of LONDON India today announced the launch of a Global Centre of Excellence for Health, Wellness and Lifestyle in Chandigarh, created in collaboration with Porto Business School (Portugal) and Kongju National University (Republic of Korea). The Centre aims to strengthen leadership, workforce capability and applied innovation for India’s rapidly expanding wellness and preventive health economy.

The Centre will offer postgraduate and executive programs, short-form certifications and lifelong learning pathways for professionals across healthcare, wellness and adjacent industries. An Innovation Hub will support collaborative projects in life sciences, biosciences and AI-enabled healthcare and wellness solutions.

Programs to be offered

  • Healthcare & Wellness MBA (details to be announced)
  • Executive MBA in Health, Wellness & Lifestyle Leadership
  • AI in Healthcare & Wellness certification programs
  • Upskilling and reskilling pathways for working professionals
  • Lifelong learning for clinicians, creators, founders and wellness practitioners

Role of academic partners

  • Porto Business School will support curriculum design and delivery for management, leadership and executive education, including international benchmarking.
  • Kongju National University will collaborate on the Innovation Hub and applied research translation in life sciences, biosciences and AI-driven wellness innovation.

Sanjeev Kumar, Chief Visionary Officer, HARLEY of LONDON, said:

“India is facing a silent crisis. Lifestyle diseases are rising faster than our systems can respond, and we do not have enough trained professionals to support the well-being needs of 1.4 billion people. The lack of skilled health and wellness professionals is already causing real damage — India is projected to lose $4.8 trillion in economic output by 2030 due to lifestyle-related productivity loss and system strain. Alongside the shortage of clinicians, the country faces a severe deficit in healthcare management talent — a gap repeatedly highlighted by national programmes. India doesn’t just need more doctors — it needs skilled leaders who can build and run the systems that keep communities well.

This Centre of Excellence is built to close that gap. Instead of theory-heavy models, we are creating practical, industry-ready skills in health, wellness, and lifestyle — capabilities that translate directly into jobs in one of India’s fastest-growing sectors. We are building a world-class learning environment that equips young people with the skills to build meaningful careers and uplift the well-being of the communities they come from.”

New Delhi [India], December 17: Grade 12 student Amairah Anand from Sanskriti School, New Delhi has won First Prize in the School Category at the Nationwide Sustainability Hackathon 2025 organised by TERI School of Advanced Studies, Vasant Kunj, for her innovative circular-economy venture “Purani Pottery Puzzles.”

TERI SAS HACKATHON

The hackathon brought together 100+ teams from schools and universities across India to propose practical business ideas addressing climate and sustainability challenges. In the school track, students were invited to design “sustainable and inclusive toys for children”, with top entries evaluated by an expert jury, across several difficult rounds of selection, including a rigorous panel interview round by eminent experts, entrepreneurs, and sustainability leaders. at TERI SAS’s New Delhi campus.

TERI SAS HACKATHON

Amairah’s project emerged a national winner, earning a cash prize of ₹15,000 and recognition from TERI SAS’s Alumni Association and faculty leadership.

From broken shards to “Purani Pottery Puzzles”

Purani Pottery Puzzles tackles an often-overlooked waste stream: broken or unsold blue pottery from artisan clusters such as Kot Jewar near Jaipur. Once fired, ceramic does not biodegrade; India generates an estimated 15-30 million tonnes of pottery waste annually, much of which ends up in landfills.

Amairah’s model collects these otherwise loss-making shards from local artisans and transforms them into child-safe puzzle and art kits. The fragments are processed, edges sealed with non-toxic coating, and then packaged as hands-on “Purani Pottery Puzzle Kits” for children, schools, and craft enthusiasts. Each kit includes:

Purani Pottery Puzzles

  • Carefully prepared blue pottery pieces that can be arranged into puzzles or mosaics
  • A story card introducing the artisan who made the original pot
  • A trivia card on sustainability and the history of Indian pottery

The tagline of the venture, “Where cracks make comebacks,” captures its core idea: embracing imperfections and giving broken pieces a second life. This not only recycles millions of tonnes of pottery waste but gives more income to these potters who lose essential materials to broken pottery. It also creates awareness about our culture of blue pottery and value of sustainability from an early age in children aligning with government’s New education policy and UN Sustainability Goals.

Pottery entrepreneurship & self-sustaining ecosystems

From an early age, Amairah was drawn to clay and colour, spending weekends not in malls but travelling nearly 500 kilometres from Delhi to traditional blue-pottery clusters to learn directly from master artisans. Over the years, these visits have grown into a commitment to revive a dying art form: she regularly helps organise stalls and exhibitions in Delhi, including Diwali melas, so that artisans can sell their work at fair prices and build stable livelihoods. In workshops, she also guides potters on basic safety practices–from better kiln ventilation to wearing masks while handling glaze powders–to reduce long-term risks such as lung cancer. For Amairah, pottery is not just craft; it is heritage, health, and economic resilience moulded together.

Beyond a one-off project, Purani Pottery Puzzles is being built as a self-sustaining micro-enterprise that benefits both artisans and children:

* Artisan livelihoods: Partner artisans earn extra income from pottery that was previously discarded or sold as scrap, buffering them against market volatility and breakage losses.

Purani Pottery Puzzles

* Circular design: Every kit is built on the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle, and reimagine–using repurposed pottery, biodegradable paints, and zero plastic or resin.

Purani Pottery Puzzles

* Education & heritage revival: Children learn about craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and sustainability each time they assemble a puzzle, turning playtime into eco-education.

Purani Pottery Puzzles

A portion of the earnings is reinvested into sourcing more waste pottery, training additional artisans, and designing new puzzle formats, allowing the model to grow without depending solely on grants.

“I wanted to prove that sustainability can be playful and profitable,” Amairah says. “Every kit we ship means less pottery in a landfill and more dignity and income for an artisan.”

From Jaipur kilns to homes and classrooms worldwide

What began as a local craft-and-sustainability idea is already gaining international traction. Purani Pottery Puzzles and toys are now being shipped to schools, NGOs, and families in countries such as Ethiopia, the Philippines, the United States, and across parts of Europe, reflecting global interest in upcycled, culturally rooted learning tools.

Teachers and parents report that children are fascinated not just by solving the puzzles, but by the story of how each shard once belonged to a handcrafted pot in a Jaipur workshop–and was saved from becoming waste.

A faculty member at TERI SAS noted that the project, “connects multiple SDGs at once–responsible consumption and production, decent work for artisans, quality education, and cultural preservation–through something as simple and joyful as a toy.”

Sri-Ganganagar (Rajasthan) [India], December 30: The Seema Vandan Yatra, a pioneering initiative aimed at rejuvenating India’s border villages, concluded its first phase on December 27, 2024. This transformative journey, led by Nachiket Joshi, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist & Convenor of Manthan, Seema Jagran Manch, the Campaign on Rejuvenation of Border Villages, witnessed a remarkable exchange of ideas, collaboration, and community engagement.

Commencing from Somnath, Gujarat, on December 19, 2024, the Yatra traversed through several key border villages across Gujarat and Rajasthan. The route included Somnath, Porbandar, Dwarka, Jamnagar, Mandvi, Lakhpat, Tharad, Kelnor, Karamwala, Kishangarh, Pokhran, Longewala, Nachana, amongst other places along the route and culminated in Hindu Malkot, Sri-Ganganagar, Rajasthan. The initiative focused on understanding the challenges and aspirations of these resilient communities while celebrating their cultural heritage and contributions to national pride.

The Yatra explored the lives of residents in coastal villages, observing traditional livelihoods such as fishing and understanding their deep-rooted connection to the sea. Participants were inspired by their resilience and the meticulous practices honed over generations, which reflect the spirit of coastal and border communities. The team visited schools, interacted with children to inspire and understand their aspirations, and stayed in homes within the villages, gaining first-hand insights into the daily lives of border residents. Communities were felicitated for their resilience and bravery in living on the first line of defence, highlighting their pivotal role in safeguarding the nation.

On December 25, the Yatra paid tribute to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his birth anniversary in Sonu Gram Panchayat, Rajasthan. The event featured heartfelt remembrances of Vajpayee’s leadership and an inspiring dialogue with village leaders to chart a path for sustainable development, emphasizing education, healthcare, and grassroots empowerment.

The Yatra also included meaningful engagements with religious leaders and members of the Border Security Forces (BSF), recognizing their pivotal contributions to maintaining harmony and security in these sensitive regions. Their insights and support underscored the critical importance of unity and collaboration in driving development and national pride.

Nachiket Joshi, remarked, “The Seema Vandan Yatra has been a journey of gratitude and purpose. Our border villages are not just geographical boundaries; they are the soul of our nation, rich in spirit and potential. Together, we will translate these aspirations into actionable development”, he further added, “Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been instrumental in bringing attention to the significance of border tourism. This initiative aligns with his vision to not only strengthen the infrastructure in these regions but also celebrate their cultural and historical richness, fostering pride and unity across the nation.”

One significant observation during these interactions was the migration of families in search of better opportunities, reflecting their aspiration for growth and progress. This presents a valuable opportunity to channel efforts toward creating sustainable solutions that enhance local infrastructure, generate livelihoods, and ensure these vibrant communities can thrive while preserving their unique cultural and geographical identity.

The initiative garnered active participation from a diverse group, including NGOs such as Wey We Empower You Foundation, Prakruti Environmental Protection and Research Centre, and RC Dalal Trust. Volunteers like Rishi Goswami and Bibhanshu Baibhav, interns with a deep passion for social impact, also contributed significantly. Additionally, the Yatra was joined at various stages by notable individuals, including Senior Advocate Devendra Saini (Supreme Court), Professional Ishita, Dr. Panav Manek, Assistant Professor Jagdish Bishnoi, Narendra Bishnoi, and others from academic and professional spheres. Their collective engagement highlighted the strength of collaboration in driving meaningful development and transformation.

Reflecting on the Yatra, Shirin Udhas Aggarwal, Founder-Director of Wey We Empower You Foundation, shared, “This journey was an eye-opener to the immense potential of our border villages. Their strength and spirit inspire us to work collectively toward sustainable development and a brighter future.”

By covering critical border areas, the Yatra highlighted the unique challenges and opportunities present in these regions. As the first phase concluded on December 27, the Seema Vandan Yatra left behind not only plans for infrastructure, education, and healthcare but also an enduring spirit of hope and national pride. It sets the stage for sustained efforts in transforming border villages into thriving hubs of progress and unity.

Cracking the UPSC Civil Services Mains is not just about accumulating knowledge-it’s about showcasing that knowledge in the most impactful way possible. The difference between an average answer and a top-scoring one often lies in the details: how well you present your ideas, the precision of your revision, and how effectively you’ve practiced under exam-like conditions.

In this blog, we’ll delve into three critical strategies that can significantly boost your Mains preparation: mastering the art of answer presentation, utilizing Vision IAS’s Mains 365 resources, and honing your exam skills with the Abhyaas Mains simulation tests.

1. Mastering Effective Presentation in Answers

In the UPSC Mains exam, how you present your answers can make a significant difference in your score. Content is undoubtedly the king, but presentation is the queen that can elevate your answers from good to outstanding. Here’s how to refine your answer presentation:

A. Smart Techniques for Enhanced Presentation

  • Underline Key Points: Highlighting important keywords and phrases can make your answers more reader-friendly, helping the examiner quickly grasp the critical elements of your response.
  • Use Headings and Subheadings: Breaking down your answers into sections with clear headings and subheadings not only organizes your content but also makes it easier for the examiner to follow your argument.
  • Incorporate Illustrations: Facts, Diagrams, charts, tables, and flowcharts are powerful tools for simplifying complex concepts and making your answers more impactful. For example, using a flowchart to explain a process or a table to compare data can significantly enhance the clarity of your answers.
  • Maintain Clarity and Cohesion: Organize your thoughts cohesively, ensuring your answers address the demand of the question directly. Avoid unnecessary jargon and focus on delivering clear, concise, and relevant information.

B. Benefits of Effective Presentation

  • Saves Time: A well-organized answer is quicker to write and easier to review.
  • Efficient Use of Space: Properly spaced paragraphs and bullet points help you present more information in a clear and concise manner.
  • Enhanced Readability: Answers that are easy to read are more likely to be appreciated by the examiner.
  • Better Organization of Information: Structured answers help convey your points logically, leaving a positive impression.
