FREE TRAVEL in buses for 'Students in uniform'!
In a student-friendly initiative, Tamil Nadu has announced that students wearing their school uniforms can now travel free on government buses across the State.
The move, introduced under the leadership of Chief Minister Vijay, is aimed at reducing the financial burden on families and ensuring that transportation never becomes a barrier to education. For thousands of students, especially those from rural and economically weaker backgrounds, the scheme could make daily travel to school easier and more affordable.
Education advocates have welcomed the decision, saying that access to transportation plays a crucial role in reducing dropout rates and improving attendance. Many have also argued that similar policies should be considered by other States to support students and strengthen public education.
As the initiative gains attention across the country, it has reignited a larger conversation about whether free transportation for schoolchildren should become a nationwide policy rather than a State-specific benefit.
Art of running a state!
Ahead of the reopening of schools, the Tamil Nadu government has directed all private schools to prominently display their government-approved tuition fees on notice boards. The move comes after complaints of schools allegedly collecting excess and hidden charges from parents.
Authorities have warned that any school found charging fees beyond the prescribed limits could face cancellation of recognition. The state says the measure aims to improve transparency and curb unauthorised fee collection across more than 13,000 recognised private schools.

Power of Neuroplasticity!
Your brain is a living, changing map, and positive thinking can redraw it in remarkable ways. Studies show that when you consistently focus on the good in your life, your brain strengthens the neural pathways that make it easier to notice and seek out more positive experiences. According to PositivePsychology, gratitude activates regions like the prefrontal cortex and ventral striatum, areas tied to reward and emotional regulation.
Over time, this repeated activation reshapes the brain through neuroplasticity, the process by which neural connections adapt and grow. also triggers the release of dopamine and serotonin, the “feel‑good” neurotransmitters that stabilize mood and motivation. This creates a feedback loop: the more you practice gratitude, the more your brain looks for reasons to feel grateful.
Functional MRI studies even show reduced amygdala reactivity to threat, meaning gratitude can help calm stress responses while reinforcing resilience. This is why practices like gratitude journaling, daily reflection, or even simply naming three good things each day are scientifically backed strategies for improving mental health.
