Published

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)

Oberheiden P.C. Now Offering Nevada Asset Protection Trusts

Published

on

United States, 5th Mar 2026 – Oberheiden P.C. is pleased to announce that the firm’s asset protection attorneys are now offering Nevada asset protection trusts to clients nationwide. Nevada asset protection trusts are unique among domestic asset protection trusts (DAPTs) for their flexibility, and they can be powerful tools for insulating high-net-worth individuals’ assets from creditor claims both in and out of court.

According to the firm’s founding attorney, Dr. Nick Oberheiden, “While many high-net-worth individuals are familiar with the benefits afforded by offshore asset protection trusts, far fewer are familiar with the domestic options that are available. The Nevada asset protection trust can be a particularly good option for individuals who want to protect their assets within the United States while also taking advantage of the estate planning, tax planning, and other benefits that domestic trusts can afford.”

Dr. Oberheiden says that forming Nevada asset protection trust can be a particularly good option for several reasons. For example, while a Nevada asset protection trust is a type of irrevocable trust, a grantor (the individual who forms a trust) still has the ability to modify how they hold their assets over time. This distinguishes Nevada law from the laws of many other states. Nevada also has a shorter statute of limitations for creditor claims than most other states (two years in most cases), and Nevada law does not recognize any exception creditors.

“These factors, combined with the relative ease of forming a Nevada domestic asset protection trust, make using a Nevada DAPT a desirable option in a wide range of circumstances—including circumstances in which high-net-worth individuals might otherwise be looking at transferring assets into an offshore trust established in the Cook Islands or another foreign jurisdiction.” Dr. Oberheiden continues, “If you are interested in learning about your options for protecting your wealth from both known and unknown creditors, it will be worth talking to an attorney about whether a Nevada DAPT is a good option for your individual circumstances.”

While forming a Nevada DAPT involves leveraging the benefits afforded under the state’s trust laws, Dr. Oberheiden emphasizes that this is not solely an option for Nevada residents. “When the Nevada legislature adopted the state’s asset protection trust laws, it specifically opened up the possibility of forming a Nevada DAPT to individuals residing across the country. Although there are certain statutory requirements that make it important to work with a Nevada trust company, individuals nationwide can form statutory trusts in Nevada for asset protection purposes.”

Dr. Oberheiden is also quick to emphasize that while forming a Nevada DAPT is a desirable option in many cases, it is important for all high-net-worth individuals to make informed decisions about their asset protection needs based on their individual circumstances. “While forming a Nevada DAPT to protect real property and other assets will make sense for many individuals, it is important to consider the other options that are available as well. A few states offer self-settled spendthrift trust options that will meet individuals’ needs in some cases; and, in other cases, forming an offshore asset protection trust may be necessary to protect assets located around the world.”

“Additionally,” he continues, “limited liability companies and other vehicles can be used for asset protection as well. Purchasing liability insurance can be a cost-effective means of limiting high-net-worth individuals’ personal liability exposure as well. Ultimately, while we are now offering Nevada asset protection trusts, we are still focused on ensuring that we provide each of our clients with a custom-tailored solution focused on their specific risks and needs.”

Dr. Oberheiden says that high-net-worth individuals who are interested in learning about the options for safeguarding their assets in the U.S. and abroad are encouraged to contact the firm for a complimentary initial consultation. “We have a team of highly skilled asset protection attorneys who are committed to helping our clients protect their assets not only in the short term, but also for future generations.” He continues, “If you have questions, one of our attorneys will be more than happy to schedule a call to begin talking through your options in strict confidence.”

This technical advancement is reflected in the platform’s new adaptive interface, which simplifies the experience for over 500,000 daily active users by removing legacy server lists.

“The future of connectivity is a seamless layer that functions before the user identifies a need for it,” stated the Head of Product at SPL. “After eight years of development, we are moving beyond the industry’s traditional ‘server-count race’ toward a model of delivery intelligence.”
