Charity school training helps Uttarakhand boy become officer
Saturday, 9 December 2023 Among the cadets commissioned into the Indian Army on Saturday, 22-year-old Pankaj Joshi, hailing from Kapkote in Bageshwar, stood apart. The son of a farmer who made it to the military as a first-generation officer in his family, his parents attributed the success to the formative years of education Pankaj received at a charity school in the remote district of Uttarakhand. Pankaj's father Bhanu Prakash Joshi said, "I think what he learnt as a child in the school was invaluable. It had a profound impact on him."
Ten of the total 14 districts in Kerala are among the 30 most landslide-prone districts in the country, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) noted in its 2023 report, raising alarm over the increasing vulnerability of the Western Ghats. But it has not slowed down the pace of development in the sensitive region, setting it up for one disaster after another, experts say. The risk assessment led by the Hyderabad-based National Remote Sensing Centre ranked Thrissur third among the most vulnerable districts after Rudraprayag and Tehri Garhwal in Uttarakhand.
