Kolkata, WEST BENGAL / New York (U.S.A) :

A 23-year-old Sarah Aziz from Kolkata won the prestigious UK’s The Press Award for investigative reporting. Armed with BA English, she is pursuing her Master of Science in Journalism at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York in the US. Interestingly, she started filing stories even while doing her UG in Kolkata during 2023. Her in-depth report on Rohingya Muslim refugees in Bangladesh for Voice of America (The American Multimedia Broadcasting Network) fetched her the highly commended “Young Journalist of The Year Award”.

Be bold, be curious, and be unyielding in your pursuit of the untold stories. Yes, this applies to 23-year-old Sarah Aziz from Kolkata in West Bengal, who had put up a brave face to report from the field about the inhuman treatment meted out to Rohingya Muslim refugees in Bangladesh for Voice of America, part of American Multimedia Broadcasting Network. This, in fact, fetched her the “Young Journalist of the Year” this year.

Armed with BA English from Loreto College in Kolkata, she is now pursuing her Master of Science in Journalism at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York in the US. Interestingly, she started filing stories as a freelancer even while doing her UG in Kolkata during 2023. To top it all, she has been a contributing reporter for The Guardian, The Telegraph (UK), South China Morning Post (SCMP) and The Christian Science Monitor besides others.

In November 2024, Aziz published an investigative report in The Telegraph (UK), exposing the truth behind the “mysterious” death of a Rohingya child who had been detained by the Indian government in New Delhi. The multimedia report not only delved into the medical negligence and abuse faced by the child in detention, but also revealed the wider pattern of the mass arbitrary detention and torture of Rohingya Muslims seeking refuge in India.

Earlier in the same year, Aziz had exposed the hidden scandal of rape and sexual abuse faced by incarcerated women in India, particularly in West Bengal. The investigative report, published in The Guardian, laid bare the tactics used by authorities to cover up crimes against some of the most vulnerable women in the country.

Aziz has extensively covered the persecution faced by Rohingya Muslims in India and Bangladesh for multiple international news outlets like The South China Morning Post, Voice of America and The Guardian. Her investigative breaking news reporting on the 2025 Bangladesh student protests was published in The Times (UK).

On cloud nine, Sarah Aziz is reported to have said, “My interests lie in investigative reporting on human rights issues of national and global importance. Some beats I have covered extensively are women’s health, the Rohingya refugee crisis, human trafficking and Indigenous affairs both in India and the U.S. It’s a great honour to receive the Highly Commended “Young Journalist of the Year” instituted by The Press Awards (2025) and the Thomson Foundation.

Sarah Aziz dedicated this award to her dad Sheik Azizur Rahman and her seventh grade English teacher who motivated her to be what she is now. She will be graduating from Columbia University with an MS in Journalism in August 2025.  Glad to learn that Sarah Aziz is a poet, translator, and artist based in Kolkata, India. In 2021, her translation of Bangladeshi activist and author Pinaki Bhattacharya’s “History of Bengal: from Ancient to British Rule” got published receiving rave reviews.

Established in 1962 by The People and World’s Press News, the first award ceremony for the then-named Hannen Swaffer Awards, named after journalist Hannen Swaffer, was held in 1963. This got transformed from British Press Awards to The Press Awards which is being given under the aegis of Haymarket Media Group on behalf of the News Media Association.

Some of the categories include Business and Finance Journalist of the Year, Campaign of the Year, Cartoonist of the Year, Columnist of the Year, Critic of the Year, Environment Journalist of the Year, Excellence in Diversity Award, Feature Writer of the Year, Foreign Reporter of the Year, Front Page of the Year, Health Journalist of the Year, Interviewer of the Year, Investigation of the Year, News Podcast of the Year, News Website of the Year, Newspaper of the Year, Photographer of the Year, Political Journalist of the Year, Science and Technology Journalist of the Year, Scoop of the Year, Specialist journalist of the Year, Supplement of the Year, The Hugh McIlvanney Award for Sports Journalist of the Year, Travel Journalist of the Year, and Young Journalist of the Year.

Engineer by day, educator at night for young minds

Community Involvement / Social Issues, Education, SCHOLARSHIPS,

Dehri-On-Sone (Nabinagar, Aurangabad District), BIHAR :

Jameel Akhtar, an NTPC manager in Bihar, combines his professional career with a passion for education, founding a free school for underprivileged children, narrates Ramashankar

Bihar :  

Education is the best tool to change society and transform the lives of the poor.” So believes Jameel Akhtar, a deputy general manager at NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation), Nabinagar, in Bihar’s Aurangabad district.

For him, life is more than just about having a cushy job. An engineering graduate from Kanpur’s Harcourt Butler Technical University, Jameel landed a job in NTPC in 2001 and got his first posting in New Delhi. But his life took a turn after he was transferred to Nabinagar in 2014. “It was close to my maternal uncle’s house at Dehri-on-Sone, a place I used to visit as a child. So, I was familiar with the town,” he smiles.

Not long after settling down there, he decided to open a school for students belonging to underprivileged families in 2015. Without wasting any time, he rented and appointed teachers to that end nursery to class VII. And the school was filled with the hustle and bustle of children not long after it opened as word spread about free education.

“The number of students grew sharply as we did not charge a tuition fee. In fact, at Noble Public School, we even provided the pupils with books and the necessary educational material free of charge.” Today, the school has a strength of more than 550 students.

“We have a co-education set. Both girls and boys study here,” he shares, adding, “I bear all the expenses. We have 14 teachers. I pay their salaries. I also take care of all other costs involved in running the school. For me, it is an opportunity to serve humanity.”

Ask him if he faces any financial problems because of the initiative, and he shrugs with a smile, saying, “I don’t have any monetary constraints. I am a bachelor. And all members of my family are well-settled.” However, he does take some steps to minimise the expenses. The school authorities have been asked to contact book publishing houses directly to supply the educational material for the students.

It makes the cost of books much cheaper as they don’t have to pay commission to agents or local suppliers.

“The money we save is spent on the students’ welfare,” he reveals. Despite having a full-time job, he has a very hands-on approach towards the school. “Though we have quality teachers and experts at the school, I take personal care of the students,” he shares.

Remarkably, students from Hindu, Muslim and Christian families alike study there. “The school has set an example of communal harmony in the small town of Dehri-on-Sone,” Jameel grins. At his school, education is not merely limited to the academics. His educators lay special focus on the personality development of the students.

Jameel says he wants to make sure that his students don’t lag behind others in any field. For the purpose, personal monitoring is required, he said. Since the quality of education imparted at government schools across the country remains under a cloud, schools like the one set up by Jameel is a perfect proposition for parents who can’t afford the high fees of a public school.

“It’s a boon for children belonging to economically backward sections of the society as education is imparted here free of charge,” notes Girija Devi, former councillor of Ward No. 36 (Dehri-on-Sone). Teachers at the school, such as Aarti Kumari and Tabassum, exude hope that students of the school have a bright future.

Quality teaching and proper guidance will shape the career of students studying here, they firmly believe.

Everyone should have access to education. An atmosphere must be created where all are included. Just as India is home to various castes, religions, languages, and ethnicities, schools too should represent this diversity and become a mini-India. Schools should be a reflection of society, imparting education that builds communities rather than dividing them”

Umaima Bano of UP’s Sitapur Shines in Jamia Results with 96.4% in Class X

Sadaravan Village (Sitapur District), UTTAR PRADESH :

Girls outperform boys in Jamia Millia Islamia’s internal examinations, and Umaima’s performance has emerged as a shining example

New Delhi :

Reflecting dedication and discipline, Umaima Bano, a student from a small village in Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh, has made her mark in the results declared by Jamia Millia Islamia. Scoring 96.4 per cent in the Class 10 board examinations, Umaima becomes one of the top 10 rank holders this year.

The Class 12 and 10 results were released on 14 and 15 May, respectively. This year, girls have notably outperformed boys in Jamia’s internal examinations, and Umaima’s performance has emerged as a shining example.

Umaima hails from Sadaravan, a remote village in Sitapur district. Her father, Kamal Ahmed, is the principal of a private intercollege, and her achievement has brought pride not only to her family but also to her entire village.

Despite her modest background, Umaima demonstrated excellence across all subjects. According to the official marksheet, she scored 97% in Hindi, 98% in English, 99% in Mathematics, 93% in Science, 95% in Social Science, 96% in Urdu, and 95% in Islamiyat.

Her performance reflects a well-rounded grasp of both academic and language-based subjects. Speaking to local media, her father expressed pride in her efforts:

“Umaima has always been a disciplined and hardworking child. We had faith in her, but her achievement has exceeded our expectations,” Kamal Ahmed said.

Umaima’s academic journey has been marked by determination. She completed her primary education from New Vision Public Inter College in Muhammadabad, Uttar Pradesh. She then appeared for Jamia Millia Islamia’s national-level entrance test, securing an impressive 45th rank.

This feat earned her a place in the prestigious university, where she now lives in a student hostel to pursue her studies with greater focus.

“I want to become an IAS officer and serve my country,” Umaima shared when asked about her future goals. “My parents’ sacrifices inspire me every day to work harder.”

The news of Umaima’s success spread quickly across her village, where neighbours and well-wishers gathered to congratulate the family. Local teachers and community leaders praised her for being a role model for rural students.

“Umaima’s success has shown that even students from small villages can reach great heights with sincerity and support,” said Feroz Khan, a teacher from her former school.

Jamia officials also acknowledged the importance of recognising merit from all backgrounds.

“At Jamia Millia Islamia, we are committed to nurturing talent from every corner of the country. Umaima’s story is a testament to the power of equal opportunity and hard work,” said an official from the university’s examination board.

This year’s results have also highlighted the consistent rise of girl students at Jamia. University records indicate that in both Class 10 and 12 results, girls have performed better than boys in average marks and top positions.

With her academic brilliance and strong moral foundation, Umaima Bano has not only brought laurels to her family and community but has also become a symbol of hope and empowerment for girls in rural India.

As celebrations continue in Sitapur, many hope that Umaima’s journey will inspire others to dream big, work hard, and break through social and geographic barriers.

Guwahati teacher Saikh Md. Sabah Al-Ahmed’s on Kashmiri youth features in Penguin Book of Poems

Amazing Feats, Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Community Involvement / Social Issues, Education, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Guwahati, ASSAM :

Guwahati-based school teacher Saikh Md. Sabah Al-Ahmed

At a time when Pakistan’s sponsored terrorism in India has drawn global attention, a Guwahati-based school teacher Saikh Md. Sabah Al-Ahmed has tried to highlight the same issue through a different medium. His poetry “In the Valley of Red,” which talks about the loss of lives of Kashmiri youths, has featured in the Penguin Book of Poems on the Indian City.

From Ghalib’s Delhi and Nissim Ezekiel’s Bombay to Agha Shahid Ali’s Srinagar and Kamala Das’s Calcutta, from Sarojini Naidu’s Hyderabad to Arundhathi Subramaniam’s Madras to Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih’s Shillong; The Penguin Book of Poems on the Indian City takes readers on a spectacular poetic journey across 37 cities in India.

His anthology contains nearly 300 poems, some written in English, and those translated from 25 regional languages. This collection offers an immersive lyrical exploration of India’s urban landscape.

Sabah Ahmed with renowed author from Penduin Zubaan (Women) Preeti Gill

Speaking to Awaz-The Voice, Sabah Ahmed said his poem “In the Valley of Red” talks of the plight & irony of innocent Kashmiri youths who are brainwashed and taken to the other side of the border to become terrorists. He said these youth again come back to their home (Kashmir) to kill their people, and eventually they also get killed in the hands of security forces in different encounters.

“Through the poem, I try to capture the emotions of parents of these Kashmiri youths who eagerly wait for their sons to return home one day. But in the end, these parents have to receive their dead bodies. My poem tries to depict how a paradise (Kashmir) has been destroyed by Pakistan,” Sabah Ahmed said.    

Before the Penguin Book of Poems Sabah Ahmed poem on Kashmir was published in WITNESS: The Red River Book of Poetry of Dissent (2021), an anthology of “Poetry of Dissent from the Margins” as seen by Indian poets, edited by Nabina Das. Subsequently, it was also published in the London-based Joao-Roque Literary Journal on February 28, 2022, edited by British-Asian writer and editor Selma Carvalho.

Another poem of Sabah Ahmed on Guwahati Diaries has also been featured in the Penguin Book of Poems on the Indian City. This poem highlights the situation of Guwahati during Covid-19 pandemic.

The Penguin Book of Poems on the Indian City is edited by Bilal Moin from Oxford University. The anthology is slated for release on May 30, 2025.

Sabah Ahmed, 50, who teaches social science in the prestigious Don Bosco School Pan Bazar in Guwahati, is popular among students, parents, and his peers for his affable nature.

“I scribbled a few lines, way back in 1988 or 1989, when I was in class 8 or 9. I felt like a 14-year-old while putting down my feelings on paper. The rest is this long journey since then. I was awarded the Reuel International Prize for Poetry in 2019 for the best upcoming poet from the North East. My poems were translated into Italian by Italian poet Giorgio Moio, based in Naples, Italy. My poems were also translated into Manipuri by veteran Manipuri critic Laishram Memo Singh,” Sabah Ahmed said.

Sabah Ahmed is very disturbed about the present situation in Kashmir. “Things were coming back to normal in Kashmir after decades. But the Pahalgam attack has finished everything. But I am still hopeful for better days in Kashmir. It will be the happiest moment in my life if my poem touches the Kashmiri youths and they quit the wrong path shown from the other side of the border,” he said.
