[Divya Mittal @divyamittal_IAS]

IIT Delhi to IIM Bangalore to IAS. I got the best education my country had to offer. It taught me how to crack tough exams and manage big responsibilities. But it never taught me how to quiet my own mind or handle loneliness. We spend many years learning how to achieve, but not a single day learning how to be happy.
My thoughts on what is missing in school education.

Emotional Regulation:
We memorized the periodic table, but no one explained the chemistry of a broken heart. School demanded we stay quiet, confusing silence with peace. Now, we don't know how to host our own storms without drowning in them. We feel lost because we were taught to suppress, not to process.

Deep Communication:
We were taught to write perfect essays, but not how to say "I’m hurting" or "No." While there is a strong emphasis on communication, we are not taught the vocabulary of the adult life. There is no course on how to stand our ground in face of bullying by a boss or how to protect our work boundaries by saying 'No'

Critical Thinking:
In school, the person with the most answers won. In life, the person with the most questions survives. This is the reason many adults can repeat opinions confidently without ever questioning where those opinions came from. We are told everything as the gospel truth. So we end up just following blindly

Financial Literacy:
We spent years learning maths and solving for x, but never learned how to keep ourselves from falling in a debt trap. Money isn't just about math; it’s about the dignity of choice. We do not learn how to use debt effectively without it controlling our freedom. How impulsive spending compounds over time, or how money affects stress, relationships, and mental peace. Financial literacy is missing because education often focuses on earning money someday, not managing it wisely once it arrives.

Self-Discipline
School is a world of bells and schedules. Someone else always tells you what to do and when. But adulthood is a world of total silence. We feel stuck because we were never taught how to push ourselves without a teacher watching. Discipline is simply the habit of keeping promises to yourself. This is a habit many of us are lacking

Handling Loneliness
In school, you are always shrouded by people. You never realize how loud the silence of adulthood can be until you’re in it. We feel lonely because we weren't taught how to be our own best friends. Peace is learning that being alone doesn't mean being lonely. It is a sacred space, not a sign of being unwanted.

Reading People
School is a time of innocence where friendships are often given to you. But as we go along, not everyone retains that purity. We feel cheated because we weren't taught to see the hidden intentions or the masks people wear. Reading people is the quiet wisdom of seeing the truth behind the words.

Mental Health Maintenance
We have gym class for our bodies, but nothing for our souls. We are taught to push through exhaustion to finish a project, which is exactly how we end up in burnout. Honoring your nervous system is the only way to make sure the light inside you doesn't go out. We should know when we are dealing with a stressor and unable to handle it anymore. We should know when to reach out for help if we feel that we are drowning in that distress

Knowing Yourself
We spend years trying to be the "best" student, only to realize we don't know who we are without a gold medal. We are left inadequate because we studied every subject except our own souls. The ultimate education is discovering what truly matters to you before the world tells you what to want.

New BJP govt Should listen to SSB Lecturers. They want justice, Self respect, Dignity & Social Status in the society, They provide comparative statement of SSB & OPSC lecturers how they have been deprived since 2016. They want justice from Double-Engine BJP Government.🙏🙏🙏

[Odisha SSB Lecturers' Association(OSLA) @the_osla]

OSLA had a productive discussion with the High-Level Expert Committee. We placed the long-pending concerns of SSB Lecturers of Odisha before the Committee. We are hopeful that our issues would be examined with a commitment to justice in the larger interest of higher education.

We draw our immense gratitude to the Chairman of the High Level committee A.K Tripathy sir who invited OSLA to discuss various demands. We hope the recommendations would thoroughly be discussed with government officials for final approval. Sincere thanks to the team members 🙏

It's an humble request to @NacBarpali to look at road near Barpali railway crossing. Both sides of the road are really in bad conditions.
Uploading a video for your kind attention and necessary actions.

@DM_Subarnapur Honourable Ma'am, I would like to bring to your notice that one direct contact of the positive case has been discharged from the quarantine centre. He is currently in our village, i.e. Brahmanipali. Though he is in isolation, yet the villagers are a little frightened.
