AŚVA – Advanced Schools Vision Alliance Launched at The Lawrence School, Lovedale

Sanjay Kumar IAS, Secretary, Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education, Govt. of India launched ASVA – Advanced Schools Vision Alliance
Ooty, Tamil Nadu | 30 January 2026- The national launch of AŚVA – Advanced Schools Vision Alliance was held on Thursday, January 29, at The Lawrence School, Lovedale, in a vibrant and thoughtfully curated ceremony that marked a significant moment in India’s evolving education landscape. The event brought together distinguished leaders from government, academia, science, research, and school education on a common platform, underscoring the collective commitment to reimagining school education in the country and more than 250 school leaders participated in the event.
Shri Sanjay Kumar, IAS, Secretary, Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Education, Government of India, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest and formally launched the AŚVA website, signalling the commencement of a nationwide collaborative movement aimed at advancing excellence in school education.
As part of the programme, Dr. S. K. Satheesh, Chairman, Divecha Centre for Climate Change, and Dean, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), inaugurated a Climate Laboratory on The Lawrence School campus. The facility reflects AŚVA’s strong emphasis on experiential, inquiry-driven, and research-linked learning at the school level, particularly in areas of national and global relevance such as climate science.
The hybrid launch event featured an eminent panel of speakers who shared insights into education, science, technology, research, and national development, highlighting the urgency and opportunity to align school education with India’s long-term aspirations.
India today stands at a defining threshold. With a young population, growing confidence in its capabilities, and increasing global influence, the choices made in education at this juncture will determine whether this moment translates into sustained national momentum. AŚVA seeks to respond to this imperative by bringing together forward-thinking schools, nationally respected academic and research institutions, and experienced implementation partners to build early models of excellence in teaching and learning—and enable them to scale across the country.
The initiative was conceived a few years ago with Dr. G. Madhavan Nair, Former Chairman of ISRO, as its Chief Patron, and has been actively mentored by Dr. K. Kasturirangan, Chairman of the Committee that drafted the National Education Policy (NEP). A collective of over 500 senior academicians, scientists, technologists, and management consultants forms the intellectual and operational core of AŚVA, bringing deep expertise in pedagogy, technology, and institutional transformation.
Hub–Node Model for Nationwide Impact
AŚVA programmes will be implemented across India through a Hub–Node model. Select schools will function as Hub Schools at regional, state, district, and city or village levels, based on defined criteria. These hubs will serve as resource centres, sharing academic, technological, and teacher-training resources with Node Schools across their regions.
This inclusive and scalable approach envisions equitable access to quality education—bridging disparities across geography and infrastructure, and ensuring that innovation and excellence are not confined to a few privileged institutions.
Aligning with NEP and the Vision of Viksit Bharat
Aligned with the National Education Policy’s vision of a Viksit Bharat—a self-reliant, innovative, inclusive, and globally respected nation—AŚVA focuses on:
Exposing students to real-world scientific and social challenges, national missions, and innovation pathways
Enabling scientists, researchers, engineers, and R&D institutions to become active partners in school education
Empowering teachers to evolve from information providers into facilitators of learning
Introducing schools to cutting-edge digital tools, platforms, and academic content
Promoting critical thinking, experimentation, and interdisciplinary learning, creating a seamless journey from Curiosity to Competence to Creativity to Contribution
AŚVA’s far-reaching initiative—connecting advanced projects from premier research and academic institutions with schools, conducting comprehensive teacher development programmes, and deploying futuristic educational technologies through its Hub–Node framework—is expected to make a transformative impact on India’s education ecosystem in the years ahead.
The distinguished speakers who addressed the event included:
Padma Bhushan Dr. B. N. Suresh, Chancellor, Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology
Dr. R. Ratheesh, Director General, Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET)
Dr. C. Anantharamakrishnan, Director, CSIR–National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSIR-NIIST)

NORMI and InterNACHI Announce Strategic Alliance to Advance Mold Education and Home Inspection Standards Nationwide
United States, 30th Jan 2026 — The National Organization of Remediators and Microbial Inspectors (NORMI) and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) are proud to announce a landmark strategic alliance that will significantly elevate mold assessment education and professional standards across the home inspection industry.
Under this new agreement, NORMI will serve as the exclusive mold training provider for InterNACHI, while InterNACHI will become the NORMI Endorsed home inspector trade association. This collaboration unites two of the most influential organizations in the inspection and indoor environmental quality sectors.
InterNACHI, founded by Nick Gromicko, represents more than 100,000 home inspection professionals worldwide. Through this alliance, InterNACHI members will have direct access to NORMI’s nationally recognized mold education programs, enabling them to become NORMI Certified Mold Assessors (NORMI CMA) and better prepare for licensure in states where mold assessment credentials are required.
“We see this alliance as a major step forward for consumer protection and professional credibility,” said Doug Hoffman, Executive Director of NORMI. “By combining InterNACHI’s reach with NORMI’s depth of scientific, technical, and regulatory expertise, we are creating a clear pathway for inspectors to expand their services responsibly and compliantly.”
As part of the agreement, InterNACHI members who enroll in NORMI training programs will receive exclusive discounted tuition, along with access to NORMI’s extensive repository of technical resources, protocols, research materials, and member benefits. These resources are designed to support inspectors not only in training, but throughout their professional practice.
Nick Gromicko, Founder of InterNACHI, added, “This exclusive partnership allows us to work together developing guidelines for the MOLD (Military Occupancy Living Defense Act), in support of the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act), and gives our inspectors access to the gold standard in mold and indoor environmental training.”
This alliance addresses the growing demand for qualified mold assessors as awareness of indoor air quality, environmental health, and mold-related concerns continues to rise among homeowners, buyers, and regulators.
Together, NORMI and InterNACHI are setting a new benchmark for collaboration, education, and professionalism—benefiting inspectors, remediators, regulators, and consumers alike.
About NORMI
The National Organization of Remediators and Microbial Inspectors (NORMI) is a leading authority in mold assessment, remediation standards, and indoor environmental education.

CBD Movers to Strengthen Australian Footprint with Full-Scale Relocation Services in Perth
Leading Moving Company Will Bring Sustainable, Comprehensive Moving Solutions to Western Australia
Australia, 30th Jan 2026 – CBD Movers, one of Australia’s most trusted names in residential and commercial moves, has announced its upcoming full-scale expansion with relocation services in Perth. The company will bring the same comprehensive moving and packing services that have earned it a strong reputation in other cities to Western Australia. This expansion represents a major step forward in CBD Movers’ goal to deliver exceptional, environmentally conscious relocation services across Australia’s key cities.
Perth customers will soon access complete end-to-end relocation services, from professional packing and secure transportation to unpacking and specialised handling for both homes and businesses. After years of successful operations in various cities, CBD Movers is ready to shake up the moving industry in Western Australia by combining innovative, sustainable practices with top-tier service quality.
Moving Solutions That Will Actually Work for You
Whether you are living in a studio apartment or a five-bedroom house, CBD Movers will cover all kinds of residential moving services in Perth. Every task will benefit from the team’s practical experience and meticulous attention to detail. Consumers will be able to select services according to their actual needs or get a full door-to-door bundle.
“Perth has been on our radar for a while now,” a representative for the company stated. “Perth deserves the same level of expertise, genuine concern for people’s possessions, and respect for the environment that we have established in Australia. Here, we’re not starting from scratch. All we are bringing is what works.”
To keep everything safe during transportation, the packaging service will be up to mark to ensure a damage-free moving experience. Whether it’s grandmother’s china, expensive electronics, or that massive corner sofa, the trained team will know how to handle it properly.
Actually Doing Something About Sustainability
Here’s where CBD Movers will be doing relocation services in Perth differently. The company isn’t just talking about going green; they’re building a strong foundation to implement real eco-friendly practices that will make a difference.
These sustainable initiatives will include:
- Smarter Route Planning: Less time on the road means less fuel burned and lower emissions.
- Efficient Fleet: Well-maintained trucks that won’t guzzle fuel unnecessarily.
- Eco-Conscious Packing Materials: Investing in recyclable and reusable packing supplies that reduce waste without compromising protection
- Waste Reduction Programs: Minimising landfill contributions through responsible disposal and donation of unwanted items during moves
“Look, we’re not perfect, but we’re trying to do the right thing,” the spokesperson added. “In cities like Melbourne and Sydney, customers really appreciated that we weren’t just paying lip service to sustainability.
Changing How Perth Thinks About Moving
The Perth moving market has been fairly traditional for years: get your stuff from A to B as quickly as possible, regardless of the rest. CBD Movers wants to prove there’s a better way. You can be professional, fast, and environmentally responsible all at once.
What customers can expect:
- Honest Pricing: The quote you receive will be the price you pay. No sneaky extra charges on moving day.
- Flexible Scheduling: We’ll work around your timeline, not the other way around.
- Personal Support: A real person who will know your move and can answer your questions.
This approach, paired with genuine environmental commitment, will set a new benchmark for Perth’s moving industry.
Melbourne and Sydney’s Success Stories Come West
CBD Movers isn’t coming to Perth untested. The operation has moved thousands of satisfied customers over the years, building a solid reputation for reliability and professionalism. The company consistently delivers on time, keeps belongings safe, and maintains strong customer reviews.
What worked in Melbourne and Sydney will now be rolled out in Perth. These aren’t untested ideas; they’re proven systems refined through real experience. Perth customers will benefit from day one instead of being guinea pigs for a new market experiment.
Becoming Part of Perth
CBD Movers plans to be more than just another business operating in Perth. The company will be hiring local staff, working with Perth suppliers whenever possible, and looking to support community initiatives that align with their values around sustainability and service.
“We’re putting down roots here,” the spokesperson said. “That means hiring Perth people who know the area, supporting other local businesses, and being good neighbours. We want people to see us as part of the community, not just the company that moved their couch.”
What’s Next
As the Perth operation prepares to launch, CBD Movers will keep listening to customer feedback and adapting services accordingly. There are already plans to expand offerings based on what the Perth market actually needs, keeping the company ahead of the curve in Australia’s relocation industry.
For anyone planning relocation services in Perth, CBD Movers will offer something genuinely different: professional service without the corporate runaround, comprehensive options without the complexity, and environmental responsibility without the greenwashing. Moving to Perth is about to get a whole lot better.
