Unbridled Fee Hikes Under the guise of session charges, tuition fees, and various other miscellaneous levies, schools are—year after year—picking the pockets of the common people. The Book and Uniform Syndicate MP Swati Maliwal has sharply criticized the prevailing culture wherein parents are compelled to purchase books, notebooks, and uniforms exclusively from the schools themselves. Demand for Government Intervention MP Swati Maliwal has raised the pertinent question:...

India Suspends Bangladesh Transshipment Privileges — A Strategic Move in Trade and Logistics  Reported by Sanchita chatterjee: India has officially suspended Bangladesh’s transshipment privileges, signaling a notable shift in regional trade policy.

What was initially intended to boost regional trade cooperation had started to impact India’s domestic tr...
