Sarvesh Kushare ends four-year pursuit of crossing 2.31m high jump barrier

Sarvesh Kushare ends four-year pursuit of crossing 2.31m high jump barrier

Published by Webster

Sarvesh Anil Kushare, who started jumping in a makeshift pit of corn husks in his village Devargaon, Nashik, took 14 steps and a smooth lift to clear the 2.31m bar and set the new men’s high jump national record. A simple harmonic motion to break the previous national record of 2.29m held by Tejaswin Shankar. As he threw his hands up in celebration, every other competing jumper embraced him and clapped in admiration, showing the magnanimity of the occasion. But the story of Sarvesh breaking the high jump national record is more of a resilient work horse than a flamboyant superstar. The 31-year-old is the oldest athlete among the active national record holders. “Bas ho gaya sir (it just happened). I have been chasing this mark for four years now. I jumped 2.27m in 2022 but was stuck with this mark for so many years,” Sarvesh told The Indian Express. After jumping 2.27m in 2022 at the National Games, Sarvesh chased the elusive national record for three years before he improved to 2.28m at the …

AIFF agrees to four-year club-led ISL model after meeting with sports minister

Published by Webster

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has agreed to a club-led model for the Indian Super League (ISL) for the next four seasons following discussions involving club representatives and Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya in New Delhi. Under the proposed arrangement, each participating club will contribute ₹1.1 crore per season to the AIFF. If all 14 clubs compete, the federation will receive ₹15.4 crore annually to support its regulatory responsibilities, including refereeing, legal affairs, integrity measures and anti-doping operations. The decision comes after negotiations between the federation and club owners, with sources indicating that AIFF had initially sought a higher financial contribution from clubs. However, the clubs maintained their position and secured support for the club-led framework. Representatives from almost all ISL clubs attended the meeting, with the exception of Jamshedpur FC. Newly promoted Diamond Harbour FC was also present, although uncertainty remains over the club’s participation amid an ongoing investigation into its operations. Promotion and relegation to continue under new structure One of the key outcomes of the discussions was the confirmation that promotion …

Will four-year degree course be aided? Will scholarships apply? State autonomous colleges seek clarity | Pune News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readPuneApr 9, 2026 09:28 PM IST As the guidelines were released late, autonomous colleges have not been able to counsel students on the pros and cons of opting for the four-year UG programme. The guidelines were expected to provide clarity to both colleges and students; however, important questions—regarding grant-in-aid, scholarships, and class sizes—still remain unanswered. The Indian Express spoke to heads of autonomous colleges affiliated to the Savitirbai Phule Pune University (SPPU) to understand their concerns. Professor Sanjay Kharat, principal, Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce, told The Indian Express, “There are two issues that are not clear. The first is whether the four-year programme will be a grant-in-aid programme. The second issue is whether the students who take admissions in fourth year are eligible for getting scholarship from the social welfare department or any other scholarship that is given through the MahaDBT portal.” He added, “Students who have completed three years of UG programme are eligible for getting an admission into a two-year masters programme. If, unfortunately, the fourth year is …

Baranica Elangovan’s four-year chase ends in national record

Baranica Elangovan’s four-year chase ends in national record

Published by Webster

Baranica Elangovan set the ground running for India’s inaugural National Indoor Athletics Championships, registering a national record in women’s pole vault at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday. From the approach run to the successful 4.22m clearance and landing, it was just 8 seconds. But for Baranica, it was the culmination of years of toil. “I’ve been trying to get the national record for four years now,” Baranica told The Bridge a day after her performance. Having recorded her personal best of 3.90m in 2021, Baranica had attempted to breach the then national record of 4.15m thrice. Not only did she fail, but she had to watch Rosy Meena Paulraj break it not once but twice to 4.21m in the span of a fortnight in 2022 from close quarters. Baranica then tried to upstage Rosy five times before she eventually became eighth-time lucky in her quest for national record. Both Baranica and Rosy broke through under the aegis of coach Milber Russell. For someone obsessed with the national record for nearly half-a-decade, pole vault …

Badminton player Krishna Prasad Garaga cleared as Anti-Doping Panel quashes four-year ban

Badminton player Krishna Prasad Garaga cleared as Anti-Doping Panel quashes four-year ban

Published by Webster

Indian badminton player Krishna Prasad Garaga has been fully exonerated after the Anti-Doping Appeal Panel (ADAP) set aside the four-year ban imposed on him by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), restoring his competitive results, rankings and eligibility. In a detailed judgment dated January 18, 2026, the ADAP overturned the earlier order of the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel, which had found Garaga guilty of violating the National Anti-Doping Rules, 2021, and imposed the maximum sanction of four years’ ineligibility. The appeal panel concluded that the evidence did not establish, to the required standard, that the prohibited substance detected in Garaga’s sample originated from doping. The case stemmed from an out-of-competition test conducted in February 2024, in which low levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) were detected. While NADA maintained that the finding amounted to an anti-doping rule violation under the principle of strict liability, Garaga argued that the hormone levels were endogenous and unrelated to any performance-enhancing substance use. The ADAP accepted the athlete’s defence, placing significant reliance on expert medical opinions and biochemical data. The panel …

BMC elections: After four-year gap, Mumbai votes today to elect new corporators | Mumbai News

Published by Parlour News

After a gap of more than four years, Mumbai goes to polls on Thursday to elect a new general body of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), bringing an end to prolonged administrator rule and setting the stage for a high-stakes political battle in the country’s financial capital. Over 1.03 crore voters will cast their ballots across 10,231 polling booths to elect 227 corporators, with around 1,700 candidates in the fray. Polling will be held from 7.30 am to 5.30 pm, with counting scheduled for Friday. The election is being closely watched as more than just a civic contest. With a 2025-26 budget exceeding Rs 70,000 crore, the BMC is India’s richest municipal body, and control over it carries enormous political and administrative influence. For several parties, the outcome will determine political relevance, identity and future survival in Mumbai. Sena split turns BMC into political battlefield For over two decades, the undivided Shiv Sena controlled the BMC, using it as its principal power base to build organisation and influence city politics. However, the 2022 split in …

BTS announces March comeback date, putting an end to a nearly four-year hiatus

Published by Parlour News

NEW YORK — They’re going to light up 2026 like dynamite: K-pop group BTS’ comeback has an official date. BTS announces March comeback date, putting an end to a nearly four-year hiatus According to a note shared to social media by the entertainment company BigHit Music, the mega popular group will return on March 20. That’s after a nearly four-year hiatus, as all seven members of BTS — RM, Jin, Jimin, V, Suga, Jung Kook and j-hope — completed South Korea’s mandatory military service. “March 20th comeback confirmed,” BigHit Music wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Rapper Suga was the last group member to be released — from his duties as a social service agent, an alternative to serving in the military that he reportedly chose due to a shoulder injury. That was in June 2025. The six others, RM, V, Jimin, Jung Kook, Jin and j-hope, served in the army. BTS tiered their enlistments, giving ample time for its members to focus on solo projects while the group was on a break. Last summer, the …

Sitting with his juniors, surrounded by the red-brick corridors of St Stephen’s College, Delhi University student Adithyan Ajith is clear about his plans for the future — he wants to pursue a fourth year at the varsity. “It’s not just about one more year,” he says. “It’s about opening the door to places like the London School of Economics.” The 20-year-old History (Honours) student from Kerala will be among the first batch of DU undergraduates who, come July, must choose whether to continue with the newly formalised fourth year under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 or exit with a standard three-year degree. Story continues below this ad For Adithyan, who comes from a middle-class family — his father is an engineer and his mother a homemaker — the decision is clear. “I want to build a solid application — dissertation, recommendations, everything. That fourth year gives me the kind of academic depth and research experience that top global universities expect.” DU officials agree. The four-year course under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF 2022), which …

Published by Webster

Long-distance runner Archana Jadhav has been banned for four years starting January 7, 2025 for testing positive for Oxandrolone. The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) on Tuesday disqualified her results from 15 December 2024. Jadhav’s in-competition sample from the Pune Half Marathon on 15 December 2024 contained the prohibited substance Oxandrolone, which is an androgen and synthetic anabolic steroid. The tests were conducted by the WADA-accredited laboratory in New Delhi. According to AIU, Jadhav failed to respond by the final deadline of March 3, 2025 despite multiple reminders from the Athletics Federation of India and themselves. “The AIU has banned Archana Laxman Jadhav (India) for 4 years from 7 January 2025 for Presence/Use of a Prohibited Substance (Oxandrolone). DQ results from 15 December 2024,” AIU posted the development on X, formerly Twitter, along with a letter citing details of the ban. “On 11 February 2025, the AIU issued the Athlete with a Notice of Charge in accordance with Rule 8.5.1 ADR and Article 7.1 ISRM confirming that she was being charged with Anti-Doping Rule Violations under …
