Homely students
An education research has found that Indian students are not eager to leave their State to go to college. Google search volumes show how much more interest there is in attending colleges in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Kerala. The SEMrush study found that there are about 22,200 Indian Google searches per month related to colleges in India. This is followed by a much smaller number of searches for colleges in Canada (8,100), Australia (1,900), Germany (1,300), the US (1,300) and New Zealand (1,000).
The study also discovered, that colleges are much more popular in terms of Google searches than universities. But when it comes to the last ones, India takes only the 4th place in ranking, following Germany, Singapore and Canada. And these choices are pretty understandable and coincide with the overall world state of education.
Ashoka Pillar Awards
Ashoka University’s Centre for Entrepreneurship hosted the inaugural edition of the Ashoka Pillar Award, to select and award young talent for their innovative solutions to tackle the worsening air quality in India on September 18, 2018 at the campus in Sonepat.
The award creates a platform for young minds by crowd sourcing ideas, which then leads to crowdsourcing funds for the winning idea, all of which uses the global network to solve problems for those living on the margin.
This year entrepreneurs were asked to propose innovative and cost-effective solutions for air pollution.
