Unmaking history: Blame game over state's 'missing' archives
The New Indian Express Kannur

The palm-leaf manuscripts have admin, revenue documents dating back 120-200 yrs
ROUND 200-year-old records have been missing from state archives for the past 14 years. And, nobody seems to have a clue where they may be!
According to former archivists and researchers, certain palm-leaf manuscripts, including 15 'churunas,' and several single-leaf pamphlets that had been moved to the Chalakudy Heritage Centre from the Regional Archives in Ernakulam in 2010 were first recorded as missing in 2021. These were allegedly shifted from the Chalakudy centre in 2010 itself. The 'missing' palm-leaf manuscripts contain administrative and revenue documents of Thrissur and nearby regions dating back 120 to 200 years.

The Alpha School Project: A Daring Innovation
The Alpha Schools enterprise is a highly innovative experiment in school education in the US that commenced in 2014 based essentially on the use of AI. It is a bold departure from the traditional. Its essential features focus on personalised learning, efficiency, and holistic development. Founded in Austin, Texas, the Alpha School challenges the conventional modelwhere students endure lengthy lectures across fragmented subjects-by reallocating time to AI-powered learning and essential life skills. This for-profit private institution is crafting footprints in other cities. It also plans potential charter school integrations for broader access. It has at the same time sparked a debate: Is it a transformative force or a fleeting experiment?
