UCO establishes scholarship in honor of OSU crash victim

The global students at UCO are planning another vigil for Nikita Nakal this Friday on campus.
“It is incredible to see the support from the people of Oklahoma”.
The police report said the woman driving the auto was arrested on the scene and charged with driving under the influence.
Four people were killed and 47 were injured Saturday when a vehicle crashed into a police auto and then into an area where spectators were watching the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade.
The University of Central Oklahoma announced that one of those killed was Nikita Nakal, an M.B.A. student at Central Oklahoma from Mumbai, India. “We hope that this scholarship will provide other students, for decades to come, the chance to pursue their dream of an MBA here at Central”, said Ethan Waples, director of graduate programs for the UCO College of Business. While we mourn the potential unrealized, let us also honor her life by pulling closer and appreciating the strength of our Broncho family.
Police say five people who were badly injured when a auto crashed into the crowd at the Oklahoma State homecoming parade remain in critical condition. “She doesn’t remember a whole lot about what happened”, attorney Tony Coleman told reporters.
Her attorney said at a press conference that he believes she suffers from a mental illness but doesn’t think she had been drinking.
“I have deep concerns about her competency at this point”.
Nakal had earned her Bachelor of Commerce degree from Mumbai University, and was attending UCO in the hopes of becoming a financial analyst.

University Dr., Box 133, Edmond, OK, 73034. She had earlier worked as a customer service executive at Tech Mahindra business solutions and as a transaction processing specialist at JP Morgan Chase. Additional charges will be presented to the Payne County District Attorney’s office, the police have said. Witnesses of the accident are asked to contact the police at 405.372.4171.

For Kalam’s birth anniversary, Mumbai schoolkids drop bag, read books instead

 

 

 

 

MUMBAI: Schools in the state commemorated former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam's birth anniversary on Thursday, by celebrating it as 'Vaachan Prerna Diwas' (Inspiration to Read Day).

Various reading activities were organised for students. While Mumbai took it a step ahead and made it a No School Bag Day, senior classes at schools had to take oral or practical exams between activities.

At HVB Global Academy, Marine Drive, students dedicated the day to reading Kalam'sbooks and viewed films depicting his life. At Hansraj Morarji Public School, Andheri, students began their day by interacting with the editor of a regional daily newspaper.

Some schools also clubbed in an educational tour for young students. "Since Dr. Kalam was a scientist in the truest sense of the word, our students from Class I to V went on a field trip to Nehru Planetarium and the science park," said Madhura Phadke, principal, Pawar Public School, Chandivli. Celebrations are ongoing at the J D Bharda High School, Grant Road, with the school attempting to enter the Limca Books of World Records for a 24-hour reading relay.

The school staff and boy students are camping in school overnight. At Alexandra Girls Institution, Fort, exams for the day were cancelled to make way for book exhibitions, poster making and magazine-making sessions. To align itself with the Skill India Mission of the prime minister, Mumbai University launched an initiative titled 'Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Vidyaadhaarit Kaushalya-Vikaas Setu', under the umbrella of the National Service Scheme (NSS) on Thursday, to reach out to the weaker sections of the neighbourhood through knowledge-sharing and development of soft skills.
