Being built in China, it will produce 60 kg oxygen every day...

Imagine breathing oxygen that is 3,000 times purer than our city air. Well, that dream will soon come true in China where the new Nanjing Towers will produce 60 kg oxygen every single day. 

 
 
The Nanjing Towers will bring over 3,000 plants comprising of 1,000 trees and nearly 2,500 shrubs from 23 different local species. 

 
 

The towers will be designed by Italian architect, Stefano Boeri, and each of the two towers will stand tall at a height of 656 feet and 354 feet respectively. 

 

The taller tower will house offices, a museum, a terrace club, and a green architecture school. The smaller tower will house a rooftop pool and a Hyatt hotel with 247 rooms

 
 
The towers will be ready by 2018 and offer fantastic views from balconies along with setting a great benchmark for enriching biodiversity.

A great idea. On looking over the current scenario such towers should also be erected in India.I strongly believe that we are polluting the environment to such an extent that I doubt that we will be able to breathe fresh air after next few years. Strict actions should be taken by the government on this issue. At least breathing fresh air should not change into a dream...

Himanshi Tomer PRESENTATION CONVENT(RED FORT)

A great masterpiece of both intelligence and of awarness. What can be better than this. India should also adopt the same means. China''s this act is the biggest example and inspiration for our country. We must take it as a golden opportunity and prove our intelligence to the whole world.

  • About Us

Times Newspaper in Education (Times NIE) is a novel program that helps students ‘Stay Ahead’ and aims at making ‘Learning Fun’. It introduces concepts that help individual growth and development beyond school curriculum.

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.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. 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. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. 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). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
