Nova Launcher

Nova Launcher is one of the most popular Android launchers available on the Google Play store. It offers bunch of animated themes and multiple folder views.

If you love tweaking your Android smartphone, Nova Launcher is a must have.

Everything Launcher
Everything launcher can be customized based on the apps frequently used by a user. The apps used more frequently appear on the default homescreen. Along with this, it also sorts the apps into smart folders automatically. The homescreen consists of a dock of apps placed at the bottom, in addition to smart folders likes shopping and games having relevant apps.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN).
