दिल्ली स्कूल एडमिशन: MCD ने एक महीने में 50000 बच्चों का दाखिला कराने का बनाया टारगेट, 75 एडमिशन वाला खास ऑफर क्या?

SUMMARY
# दिल्ली MCD स्कूल एडमिशन अभियान

दिल्ली नगर निगम (MCD) ने अपने स्कूलों में एक महीने के भीतर 50,000 बच्चों का दाखिला कराने का लक्ष्य रखा है। इसके लिए MCD ने "75 एडमिशन" नाम का खास ऑफर शुरू किया है, जिसके तहत जो स्कूल 75 या उससे अधिक नए दाखिले कराएगा, उसे विशेष पुरस्कार और प्रोत्साहन दिया जाएगा। यह अभियान सरकारी स्कूलों में घटती छात्र संख्या को रोकने और बच्चों को शिक्षा से जोड़ने के उद्देश्य से चलाया जा रहा है। MCD के अधिकारियों को निर्देश दिए गए हैं कि वे घर-घर जाकर बच्चों की पहचान करें और अभिभावकों को दाखिले के लिए प्रेरित करें। निःशुल्क शिक्षा, किताबें और यूनिफॉर्म जैसी सुविधाएं भी दी जाएंगी।

India’s Oil Buyers May Cut Russia Cargoes As US Risk Rises

SUMMARY
India's oil refiners are considering reducing Russian crude imports due to growing risks of US sanctions. Since Russia's Ukraine invasion, India became a top buyer of discounted Russian oil. However, tightening US restrictions on Russian energy trade, targeting ships, insurers, and payment channels, are pushing Indian refiners to seek alternative suppliers from the Middle East and Africa. This shift could raise India's import costs and impact global oil markets, while further pressuring Russia's revenue streams.
