Bengaluru, May 25: As the schools for the current academic year would being from May 28, the Education department has directed the teachers and staff to make it a celebration by distributing sweets to the students on the first day and tying festoons to the schools.

The school authorities should make all arrangements for beginning the schools. Classrooms and school premises should be cleaned and make arrangements for drinking water and toilets. The schools should be decorated with festoons and palatine leaves and students should be given sweets before beginning the school, the department has directed.

For the new students, the first day in the school should be more memorable and enjoyable. Since first day, the authorities should create conducive environment for learning. This would inspire the students to learn with joy, the department said.

School visits

Subject supervisors should visit the schools in their jurisdictions and ensure that all schools are opened on the first day.

  •         School visit would be conducted from June 1-8
  •         Special jatha or band-set should be used to bring the students who are absent in the morning, to the schools

Gangtok (PTI): The Indian Army, in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad, has operationalised on-site 3D concrete printing technology for quick construction of bunkers, sentry posts and protective structures in forward areas of Sikkim, a Defence statement said.

The capability -- already proven in other operational areas earlier -- has been effectively employed by the Trishakti Corps in the Himalayan state, it said.

"The indigenous robotic 3D concrete printer, equipped with a robotic arm, circular mixer, piston pump and generator, is fully vehicle-portable and optimised for rapid movement in mountainous terrain," the statement said.

The printed structures have undergone live ballistic trials, validating their strength and protective performance.

The 3D concrete printing provides major operational advantages, including customised designs, enhanced blast and ballistic resistance, higher compressive strength, improved quality control, efficient use of local materials and rapid construction in tactically acceptable timelines.

It also supports terrain-specific designs and advanced camouflage needs.

The continued adoption of on-site 3D printing represents a significant leap in the Army's engineering and operational readiness, enabling fast, sustainable, and mission-oriented infrastructure development in challenging environments, it added.
