May 12th, 2014, was an unforgettable day for the Indian education system as 15-year-old Malvika Raj Joshi became the youngest student ever to be admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States. Malvika had secured 98.6% in her 10th-grade board examination and had secured a position in the top two percentile in her IIT-JEE exams.
Malvika hails from Mumbai and was homeschooled by her parents throughout her life. She had a keen interest in computer programming from a young age, which eventually led her to develop an app called 'King's Ludo', which became popular in the Google Play store. Malvika's app was being used by users in over 15 countries.
Malvika's achievements have been an inspiration to many students in India, proving that one's academic success is not necessarily tied to attending schools but is more about a passion for learning and achieving excellence in one's chosen field.

In May 2014, the Indian government announced the inauguration of a new solar power plant, located in the village of Charanka in Gujarat. The solar plant was built over an area of 5,000 acres, making it one of the largest solar farms in India at the time. The project was executed by Gujarat Power Corporation Limited and was completed in just over two years.
The Charanka Solar Park has an installed capacity of 345 MW and is capable of powering over 600,000 homes. The project has helped create over 1,000 jobs in the region and has played a significant role in reducing carbon emissions by an estimated 400,000 tonnes per year. The power generated by the solar park is supplied to the Gujarat power grid and is used to power homes, businesses and other infrastructure in the region.
The Charanka Solar Park has been an excellent example of how India is leveraging the use of renewable energy sources to reduce dependence on non-renewable sources such as coal and petroleum, which are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. The project has been recognised for its contribution to the country's renewable energy goals and has encouraged other states in India to follow a similar path.
