Srinagar, Aug 04: Jammu and Kashmir has joined the league of fully literate States and Union Territories under the Government of India's ULLAS (Understanding Lifelong Learning for All in Society) scheme, achieving a 99.09 percent success rate and becoming the largest population region to attain this milestone. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha extended his heartiest congratulations to teachers, administrators, and every stakeholder for the historic achievement. In a post on X, the Lieutenant Governor wrote: UT of Jammu Kashmir proudly joins the league of Fully Literate States/UTs under the ULLAS scheme of Government of India. With 99.09% success, it stands tall as the largest population region to achieve this milestone. Congratulations to our teachers, administrators and every stakeholder who made this possible. Let us always remember that education is the truest force of empowerment and our collective responsibility is to keep advancing this mission. Out of 1,80,317 non-literates identified, 1,78,680 have passed (99.09 percent) under the ULLAS scheme. The criterion for declaring a State or UT fully literate is achieving a literacy rate of 95 percent or above, acknowledging that 100 percent literacy is unfeasible due to factors such as advanced age and intellectual abilities. So far, nine States and UTs had declared themselves as fully literate under ULLAS: Ladakh, Mizoram, Goa, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Sikkim, and Uttarakhand. Jammu and Kashmir is the 10th State/UT to achieve this status and has the largest population among those declared fully literate so far. States and UTs have prepared their strategies and plans and adopted best practices to achieve full literacy in accordance with the above criteria.

India-China Trade Reset? Nathula Reopens After 6 Yrs, But Lipulekh Twist Stings India
After six years of silence, one of Asia's oldest trade corridors is coming back to life. From August 1, India and China will resume border trade through the historic Nathula Pass in Sikkim, reviving a route that once formed part of the ancient Silk Road. But this is far more than a trade story. The reopening comes years after the Galwan clash, amid cautious diplomatic engagement and continued military deployments along the Line of Actual Control. Even as Nathula prepares to welcome traders, another border crossing at Lipulekh recently saw Indian traders turned back by Chinese authorities, exposing the limits of the current thaw. Is this the beginning of genuine normalisation, or merely a carefully managed confidence-building measure? This video examines the strategic significance of the Silk Route revival, the economic impact on Himalayan communities, India's calibrated China policy, and why trade may be returning while trust remains a work in progress.

Four numbers define the India-China stealth fighter gap right now 500, Zero, 150, 2035. China's J-20 fleet has reportedly crossed 500 operational aircraft, more than double earlier estimates, with satellite imagery placing at least 14 of them just 150 kilometres from India's Sikkim border at Shigatse air base in Tibet. India's own AMCA stealth fighter isn't expected to enter service until 2035. We break down how China scaled its stealth fleet this fast, why the Shigatse deployment matters strategically, and whether India can close a gap that's widening faster than it's being built.
