Dear Balen Sir, It's truly heartening to see Kathmandu Metropolitan taking proactive steps to revolutionize education in community schools. The commitment to modern teaching methods and improved facilities is commendable, reflecting a genuine investment in our children's future. The introduction of smart classrooms, well-equipped labs, face attendance systems, free snacks, book-free Fridays, and practical classes undoubtedly enhances the learning experience and sets a higher standard for education. However, amidst these positive changes, it's crucial to address the essence of education itself. Questions arise about the content and values we impart to our children. The removal of Sanskrit education and the absence of teachings on our rich culture and Hindu way of life raise valid concerns. Our cultural heritage and historical legacy are invaluable treasures that deserve preservation and celebration. It's vital for our youth to learn about their roots, traditions, and the ethos that shapes our identity as a society. Let's hope that alongside modernization, there's a concerted effort to uphold and integrate our cultural heritage and values into the educational curriculum. After all, a holistic education encompasses not only academic knowledge but also an understanding and appreciation of our heritage. 🌟

Balen says, "Teachers should refrain from causing disruptions in teaching by closing schools. Those who engage in such disruptions will face legal consequences according to the law (Constitution)."

INDIA LUXURY MARKET India's luxury market is one of the world's most exponential markets! As it is expected to grow rapidly over the next few years, it is set to reach Rs 82,186 Crore by 2027, up from Rs 53,561 Crore in 2022. Bain & Company reports suggest that the market could expand to 3.5X its current size by 2030. Here are 4 reasons why India's luxury market is booming: 1. Indian wealth and the increasing number of millionaires have impacted all metrics. India saw a 69% growth in the number of millionaires between 2022 and 2027 compared to a 45% rise globally. 2. Younger customers and an expanding upper and middle class has also grown their demands. 3. The growing trend of internationalization of the Indian luxury market has worked out as well. 4.With global brands appointing celebrities as brand ambassadors and celebrated Indian designers setting up stores in cities like New York, has also pushed the momentum. Recently, the 750,000 sq ft Jio World Plaza represented the same trend with a group of 66+ global luxury brands. Brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Cartier, Bulgari, Balenciaga, Valentino, Versace, Rimowa, Jimmy Choo, Dior, and numerous others are India's new luxury brands. In categories like fashion, jewellery, accessories, home decor, and more, Indians are inclining to more luxuries. With advanced technology, personalized services, and partnerships, brands have set a new standard for luxury in India. What are your thoughts on the Indian luxury market?
