Wings of Freedom and Roots of Responsibility

- Dr A F Pinto Chairman, Ryan International Group of Institutions

 We will soon be ushered into yet another year of freedom of our country India, the largest democracy in the world.  India has travelled 7 decades since 1947 and to celebrate this journey and commemorate these 70 glorious years, “AZADI70” with the theme of ‘70 Saal Azadi-Zara Yaad Karo Kurbani (70 years of Independence-Do recall the sacrifices)’, events were held throughout the country. On this day, it is fitting to remember the selfless and unrelenting efforts of our revolutionaries, in attaining the freedom that we enjoy today. As we pay our tribute and salute these men and women of great honour for their sacrifice for the country, we need to own their commitment and sacrifice they made for all of us and the nation.

Looking back on the years gone by, we can proudly say that India has definitely made tremendous progress in various spheres, be it science, technology, economy, sports or space, India has reached new pinnacles. Several space satellites such as Aryabhatta, Bhaskara, Rohini, Saral, Mangalyaan and so froth have been successfully launched by our scientists.  In addition to this several of our Indian scientists are part of the NASA team working and making valuable contribution to space science. In the segment of education our country has come a long way.  At the time of independence, the literacy rate was just about 12%, whereas today it has gone up to over 75%.  India has more than 50% of its population below the age of 25 and more than 65% below the age of 35.  The need of the hour is to give wings of freedom to our young generation and roots of responsibility to help them emerge as global leaders. 

  Children often tend to think freedom as a license to do whatever they want to do. The consequence of their attitude is very obvious in our society.  As parents and elders, we are the wind beneath the wings of our children who need our guidance.  We need to teach them self-respect and respect for others. Empowerment of every Indian through education is the key to complete freedom today. It is only education that can give us freedom from problems of poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, child mortality, hunger, pollution, food shortage, global warming, wars, crimes, unending terrorism and freedom for progress, respect, happiness, health and prosperity.  On this Independence Day, let us rededicate ourselves to empower each other with wings of freedom and roots of responsibility to take our nation to greater heights of success.

Jai Hind!

  • 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.
