</div><br></div><div>MUMBAI: The Lions Club of Sion, in a joint initiative with the SLR Group of Education and sponsored by JP Classes (Sion), successfully hosted the Academic Excellence Award Ceremony 2026. The high-profile event recognized and felicitated Secondary School Certificate (SSC) students who secured 60% and above in their recent Class 10 Board Examinations.</div><div>Far from being a standard award ceremony, the event served as a grand celebration of hard work, grit, and the collaborative ecosystem of students, educators, and families.</div><div><br></div><div>Santosh J. Chauhan, Founder & Managing Director of JP Classes (Sion), felicitating an SSC Board topper with the Academic Excellence Award for outstanding performance in the Board Examination, in the esteemed presence of proud parents, distinguished dignitaries, and Lion Dharamraj Jadhav, Event Coordinator representing the Lions Club of Sion. </div><div><br></div><div>The ceremony celebrated academic excellence, dedication, and the pursuit of success among young achievers.</div><div>Honouring Parents - the  Silent Pillars of Success</div><div>A core theme of the ceremony was acknowledging the parental support system that anchors student success.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking at the event, Santosh J. Chauhan, Founder and Managing Director of JP Classes (Sion), highlighted the critical but often uncredited sacrifices made by families. He said ⁠“No doubt students have given their best to achieve success. However, behind every successful student stands a family that provides patience, love, encouragement, and unwavering support. Parents make countless sacrifices, appreciate their children during difficult times, and help them remain focused on their goals. This ceremony is dedicated not only to students but also to the parents who have been silent partners in their achievements.”</div><div><br></div><div>Mr. Chauhan further highlighted that many parents underestimate the academic transition from Class 10 to Class 11.</div><div><br></div><div>He added ⁠“The jump from SSC to 11th Standard is one of the most significant transitions in a student's academic life. The syllabus becomes much more advanced and concept-oriented. The level of study is comparable to national-level competitive standards and requires strong fundamentals, regular guidance, and systematic preparation.”</div><div><br></div><div>He urged parents to give special attention to their children's academic foundation during this crucial stage.</div><div><br></div><div>Education experts present at the venue echoed this sentiment that the next two years after SSC are among the most important years in a student's educational journey.</div><div><br></div><div>Whether a student dreams of becoming a doctor through NEET, an engineer through JEE or CET, a finance professional through CA, a corporate leader through CS, or wishes to pursue any professional career, the foundation is laid during Classes 11 and 12.</div><div><br></div><div>“These two years will largely determine the direction of a student's future. This is the time when concepts must become clear, study habits must become disciplined, and confidence must be built. Parents should pause for a moment and ask themselves: What is the very best I can provide for my child during these decisive years?” said Mr. Chauhan.</div><div><br></div><div>On 1st May 2026, students of JP Classes achieved an extraordinary milestone by creating a World Record through the collective recitation of all 108 Elements of the Periodic Table, along with their symbols, in both forward and reverse order.</div><div>The achievement demonstrated the power of memory training, concentration, systematic learning techniques, and disciplined practice. The event showcased how ordinary students can achieve extraordinary results when guided with the right methods and motivation.</div><div><br></div><div>The world-record performance has inspired thousands of students and parents and has become a shining example of what young minds can accomplish when academic learning is combined with memory development.</div>

</div><br></div><div>Mumbai: Samsung’s Research & Development centre in Noida (SRI-Noida) has made significant contribution in the development of AI features for the Galaxy S26 series, Samsung’s flagship smartphone launched earlier this year.</div><div><br></div><div>“We started working on AI around three years ago. For Galaxy S26, we developed the Now Nudge and Now Brief features in close collaboration with the Suwon R&D office in South Korea,” said Kyungyun Roo, Managing Director of SRI-Noida.</div><div><br></div><div>Now Nudge provides proactive and relevant context-aware suggestions, while Now Brief surfaces timely reminders for important events. Some of the other AI features co-developed by SRI-Noida engineers for the Galaxy S26 series smartphone are Creative Studio, Call Screening and Direct Voicemail.</div><div><br></div><div>Creative Studio helps users create images, transform photos, design stickers, and make wallpapers on the S26 series, while Call Screening is like a personal assistant – AI can answer, transcribe and filter calls.</div><div><br></div><div>“The Direct Voicemail feature was developed basis feedback from Indian customers. We developed it for the Galaxy A series first and this year, it debuted on the flagship Galaxy S26 series also,” Roo said.</div><div><br></div><div>Established in 2007, SRI-Noida’s key focus areas include AI, technical development and service development related to smartphones, tablets and wearables. Roo said the opinion and feedback of Indian consumers are important and play a meaningful role in the development of new features, such as the Privacy Display that debuted on the Galaxy S26 Ultra and has become immensely popular since then.</div><div><br></div><div>“In India, many OTPs come, and the traditional film used on top of the display blocks all the things. But our new Privacy Display only enables the notification area so it is quite beneficial for Indian users. I live in India, and so many OTPs come, and the OTPs are filtered well,” Roo said.</div><div><br></div><div>Learning and development is a priority for all SRI-Noida employees, who have been trained in Machine Learning and AI, thanks to a tie-up with top IITs.</div><div><br></div><div>“We also have an engineer exchange programme with South Korea through which some of our engineers go there and some of the South Korean engineers come here. We collaborate closely as a global one team,” Roo added.</div>

</div><br></div><div>A Premium Project in a Growth Corridor with Airport, Railway, Highway, Port Connectivity & Direct Mumbai Access Through Atal Setu — And That Too from ₹25 Lakhs onwards</div><div><br></div><div>Mumbai: Lakhotia Group is set to launch what it describes as a new-generation “Private Housing for All” project in Kewale, Panvel — an emerging micro-market increasingly being viewed as one of the next major growth corridors within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.</div><div>Positioned amidst one of the most infrastructure-driven development belts in the region, the project is being envisioned as a future-ready residential destination for investors and first-home buyers seeking long-term growth potential, connectivity, and aspirational living at an accessible entry point. The project is expected to feature over 25 lifestyle amenities designed around the aspirations of modern homebuyers seeking connectivity, convenience, lifestyle, and long-term value appreciation.</div><div>What makes the development stand apart is its strategic location within a rapidly transforming corridor connected to the Navi Mumbai International Airport, Panvel Railway Network, Major Highways, JNPT Port Ecosystem, and direct access to Mumbai through Atal Setu (Mumbai Trans Harbour Link) — making it one of the few residential offerings in the region to provide access to multiple growth drivers within a single urban ecosystem.</div><div>Adding further momentum to the location’s future potential is the upcoming Virar–Alibaug Multimodal Corridor, located approximately 5–7 minutes from the project. The corridor is expected to significantly improve east-west connectivity across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and strengthen access between key growth zones including Virar, Panvel, Navi Mumbai, and Alibaug.</div><div>With large-scale infrastructure projects reshaping the geography of growth across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Panvel is increasingly emerging as a strategic urban and economic destination. Industry observers believe the next phase of residential and commercial expansion could emerge from micro-markets like Kewale, where infrastructure accessibility, business activity, employment opportunities, and future investment potential are rapidly converging.</div><div>According to India's Leading Property Consultant Anarock, who is also the strategic partner for this project, Kewale Micromarket in Panvel could emerge as one of the next major growth hotspots of the Airport City, resulting in increased land acquisition activity by developers in and around the micro-market.</div><div>According to the developer, the project is located approximately 15 minutes from the Panvel Railway Station, around 20 minutes from the Navi Mumbai International Airport, and offers seamless access to Atal Setu and major transportation corridors connecting Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.</div><div><br></div><div>Radhamohan J. Lakhotia, Founder Director of Lakhotia Group said the company’s vision is to create a future-oriented development that aligns with the next phase of urban expansion in the region.</div><div>“The idea behind Private Housing for All is to democratize aspirational living within a growth corridor that offers connectivity, economic activity, and future appreciation potential. Infrastructure-led growth will create jobs, business opportunities, and long-term stability in the region, making locations like Kewale increasingly relevant for future homebuyers and investors.”</div><div><br></div><div>Manak R. Lakhotia, Director, Lakhotia Group, said the project has been conceptualised around the future growth potential of the location and the aspirations of emerging homebuyers and investors.</div><div>“Today’s buyers are not just purchasing a home; they are investing in a future growth ecosystem. Kewale is strategically positioned within one of the most infrastructure-rich corridors of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The combination of airport connectivity, highways, railway access, port-led development, and transformational infrastructure projects creates strong long-term potential for both end-users and investors.”</div><div><br></div><div>Developers have increasingly focused on Panvel and surrounding corridors in recent years as airport-led development, transportation infrastructure, and industrial growth continue to reshape residential demand patterns across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.</div><div>The proposed launch reflects the growing demand for future-oriented housing developments in locations that combine connectivity, economic opportunity, infrastructure access, and long-term investment potential.</div>
