Mind your language, affluent teens, says CBSE
The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|November 23, 2025
OFFICIALS affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) have issued a stern warning regarding a noticeable decline in conversational etiquette and conduct among teenagers from affluent backgrounds attending affiliated schools, particularly in regions like Uttarakhand.
The board is actively reaching out to parents, pressing them to closely monitor their children's language use and the content they consume online.
Dr Anupam Jagga, principal of a prominent institution in Haridwar and a CBSE Regional Coordinator, formally documented the concern in a letter. The advisory explicitly points to a troubling rise in the use of profanity and inappropriate material shared among students. "The most worrying aspect is the sharp drop in the standard of language used," stated Jagga, referencing ob-
servations made during recent counselling sessions.

Living boundaries for your outdoor garden
WALLS can mark a boundary, but hedges bring a boundary to life. Think about it — a neat line of plants running along the edge of a bungalow garden doesn't just separate \"inside\" from \"outside,\" it frames the entire home like a picture. Hedges are one of the oldest and most reliable tools in landscaping: they provide privacy, reduce noise and dust, and simultaneously soften the hard lines of walls and gates.
