PLANNING a train journey during the upcoming holiday rush? Well, you need not worry about return tickets, as the Ministry of Railways, in a first-of-its-kind initiative, has introduced a round-trip package scheme, offering a 20% discount to passengers booking return journey tickets, initially launched on a trial basis.

- RAJESH KUMAR THAKUR @ New Delhi

The Ministry of Railways on Saturday said the scheme has been launched as a pilot to test its feasibility. Under this scheme, booking for all reserved classes will start from August 14 on discounted fares for onward journeys scheduled between October 13 and 26 for all trains except the Rajdhani, Duranto and Shatabdi which use flexi-fare system.

Notably, no refund of fare will be permissible for tickets booked under this scheme!

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.

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?
