The research is clear on one thing: asking AI for a hint builds critical thinking. Asking it for the answer erodes it, measurably, over time.

Nearly half of India's graduates aren't considered job-ready at graduation — by the more optimistic estimate. Quick Read - chalkandcode.substack.com/p/… #EdTech #IndianEducation #Employability #NEP2020 #SkillDevelopment #GraduateSkills

Behind it: nearly 10 lakh sanctioned posts sit vacant — and the gap is worsening fastest exactly where subject specialists matter most.

India crossed 1 crore teachers in 2024-25. A genuine milestone. The data, and what would actually fix it: knowledge.anandarup.com/gov-… #EdTech #IndianEducation #TeacherVacancy #GovernmentSchools #NEP2020 #UDISEPlus #TeachersDay

Not a scandal. Not a school collapse. Just the quiet, compounding result of ordinary school days adding up to less than they should.

More than half of India's 10-year-olds can't read a simple text. My latest piece breaks down the data — and what's actually working: knowledge.anandarup.com/chil… #EdTech #IndianEducation #ASER2024 #LearningPoverty #NEP2020 #FoundationalLiteracy #NIPUNBharat

My latest piece looks at India's ₹58,000 crore coaching industry, why rational parents keep buying what school already promised, what it costs beyond money, and why the government is now regulating it.

@jagograhakjago : Do we have any regulations for quick commerce business? All the customer support is now AI driven why? We don’t want to speak with a chat bot. Delayed services, surge price and seems no regulations. @PMOIndia @BandBajaateRaho

@Zomato up new way of extorting money. Pay extra for delivery. Most of the delivery are delayed now days. Looking forward when wi government start governing these quick commerce services. Or will they be left to loot citizens. Is this the #vikshitbharat we looking at?

Can anyone tell me how banning Telegram is a solution here? Telegram isn't a chat app for most builders in India. It's the default deployment layer for AI agents, trading bots, automation pipelines. My team runs on it. So does much of the dev ecosystem I know. Blocking it for six days because NEET leaked on Telegram misses the point. The leak didn't happen because of Telegram, it happened because the exam chain of custody broke. Paper leaks move to WhatsApp, Signal, email, USB drives, printouts, whatever channel exists. Killing one pipe doesn't fix the plumbing. And it doesn't even work for the stated goal. Anyone who wants Telegram opens a VPN in 30 seconds. The exam cheaters aren't stopped. The builders are. Now every agent, bot, and scheduled workflow hitting a Telegram webhook is dead till June 22. Not just ours. Thousands of them. For an exam security measure that doesn't address the root cause. The collateral damage is the actual digital infrastructure people built while nobody was watching.
Telegram access restricted in India for re- NEET following recommendations of NTA "Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has issued notification a direction under Section 69 A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, restricting access to the Telegram platform in India for a defined and limited period ending 22 June 2026, covering the day of the NEET (UG) 2026 re-examination and its immediate aftermath. A direction requiring the platform to disable, in India, the message-editing feature in respect of messages already posted, for a defined period ending 30 June 2026, addressing the specific structural feature through which the platform has been used to fabricate after-the-event “paper leak” evidence in respect of national examinations." : National Testing Agency (NTA)

Science says 45 days learn + 15 days rest works. Finland, Japan, Sweden use it Why is India using a 19th-century calendar for British harvest cycles, not 2026 children? The relic ends now. knowledge.anandarup.com/year… #Education #India #NEP2020 #CBSE #EducationReform #KnowledgeGarden

@urbancompany_UC : Your service quality is going down. Instahelp was never available in 15 min, and now slots are regularly cancelled. The support is shut, not working. Moment ask for Human agent, the chat is closed. @jagograhakjago @ConsumerHelp_

India's education creates no distinction between mediocrity and excellence. PISA 2009: 73/74 countries. Engineering students failing basic subjects. EdTech can change this, from rote to reasoning. Deep-dive: knowledge.anandarup.com/rote… #EdTech #CriticalThinking #NEP2020
