Education beyond boundaries: Ladakhi children’s journey to Mumbai’s classrooms
Amid the hustle and bustle of Mumbai, 22 students from the serene and remote land of Ladakh are experiencing a world far different from their own. For these students, most hailing from the isolated village of Turtuk, the vibrant energy of Mumbai is a stark contrast to the stillness of the snow-covered mountains of their home. Their hearts are full of hope and curiosity as they attend classes at Chembur’s AFAC English School, a part of a heartfelt three-month study exchange program. This initiative, running from November to February, was born out of a deep sense of compassion and the desire to provide these children with opportunities that would otherwise be lost due to Ladakh’s harsh winters. The students from Turtuk and other remote villages face the harsh reality of interrupted learning, leaving them to pause their education when the weather is most extreme. But thanks to the kindness and determination of individuals like Jitendra Mandlecha, the lives of these young minds are being changed. Mandlecha, who has always felt a deep connection to the people of Ladakh, first visited the region in 2018. His journey to Turtuk Valley exposed him to the challenges faced by local schools, and he knew he had to help. Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to support border communities, he launched a teacher training programme in 2019 in collaboration with the Kotak Education Programme. When the pandemic hit in 2020, Mandlecha found an innovative solution—encouraging trained teachers to form small groups and educate children in their villages. As the programme’s success grew, parents requested a dedicated school. In response, he converted a guesthouse into classrooms, giving birth to Turtuk Valley School, which now educates over 120 students. A new school building is set to open in June 2025. What started as a small initiative to help children through the winter months has blossomed into a movement that is changing lives, one child at a time.

Mumbai school receives bomb threat from group claiming to be ‘Afzal Gang’
A school in Mumbai received a bomb threat email on Thursday, which led to an immediate security response. The email claimed a bomb had been planted at the Global Ryan School in the Jogeshwari-Oshiwara area. Following this, the police and local authorities quickly arrived at the school. The bomb squad and explosive detection teams are currently searching the premises for any potential threat. However, as of now, no bomb has been found. The email mentioned that the Afzal gang was responsible for planting the bomb, and investigations are ongoing to find out more about the threat. Authorities are working to ensure the safety of everyone at the school and resolve the situation.. The recent bomb threat at the Global Ryan School comes just days after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in Mumbai also received a bomb threat email. The email, written in Russian, was sent to RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra's official address and threatened to blow up the bank. Bomb threats have become a growing issue for schools across India, though most turn out to be hoaxes. Earlier this week, two schools near Erode, Tamil Nadu, received similar bomb threat emails, leading to the evacuation of students while authorities conducted a thorough search. After several hours, the threat was confirmed to be false. In Delhi, the police have recently investigated a wave of hoax bomb threats targeting over 400 schools.
