GPL Report

                       GPL Event Report
The GPL (Gnanam Premier League) was conducted at the Gnanam School of Business. It was a cricket tournament held on the GSB campus. The event consisted of four teams: Sengipatti Super Singams, Chola Knight Riders, Maratha Royals, and Delta Daredevils. I was a member of the Sengipatti Super Singams team, led by our captain, Mr. Jaiseelan.

The players were selected through an auction conducted by the team captains and owners. This auction was organized by the Fintrostra Club. The entire GPL event was coordinated by all the clubs in GSB, including both academic and non-academic clubs. This event helped in building team coordination and enthusiasm among the students.

The decisions, rules, and regulations for the tournament were formulated by the GPL Committee and the GPL Commissioner. All major decisions regarding the event were taken by this committee. Umpiring was handled by the seniors from the Deming’s batch.

The league matches were held from 21/04/2025 to 23/04/2025. Each team played three league matches, and based on the points and run rate, they qualified for the semifinals. Out of the four teams, only three qualified for the semifinals, and one team was eliminated. In this season, Maratha Royals were eliminated from the tournament, and the remaining three teams moved on to the next stage.

My team, Sengipatti Super Singams, finally qualified for the finals and emerged as the runners of this GPL season. The pillar of our team was Mr. Saifullah, my favorite player of the season. He performed extraordinarily both as a batter and a bowler. All my teammates were very cooperative in team decisions, which helped us reach the finals successfully.

Our team owners were Dr. Aranganathan and Dr. Issac Jhonny, Assistant Professors at GSB. Their contribution to this season was immense. They played in the playing XI squad along with the students. Our beloved CEO, Dr. Arul Doss, was also one of the players in the Delta Daredevils team.

Refreshments during the matches were provided by all academic and non-academic clubs. Each club also gave out several rewards and prizes to the players at the end of the matches. DJ music and commentaries were handled by the students, and each team had cheerleaders to motivate the players during the matches.

This entire event was initiated and managed by the girl students, showcasing great leadership and organizational skills. Overall, the GPL event provided us with a new and memorable experience, teaching us valuable lessons in patience, focus, strategy, perseverance, confidence, encouragement, and much more. It truly was one of the most unforgettable events of campus life at GSB.

Thank you.

U.S. slices planned remittance tax to 3.5% from 5%

U.S. slices planned remittance tax to 3.5% from 5% The recent move by the U.S. House to reduce the proposed excise tax on remittances from 5% to 3.5% offers limited relief to millions of Indians living in the U.S. While the change softens the blow, it still risks disrupting a vital financial lifeline. With remittances from the U.S. forming 27.7% of India’s inflows, such taxation could deter transfers, spark short-term spikes, and push some into informal channels. The Indian government’s delay in assessing the impact is concerning. Moreover, President Trump’s renewed threats against Apple’s manufacturing in India complicate the economic landscape. As global geopolitics intrude on personal finance and trade, proactive diplomacy and economic preparedness are essential.

Hindi mandatory third language for primary classes in Maharashtra .

Hindi Mandatory as Third Language for Primary Classes in Maharashtra Yesterday, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra stated in the media that the government has decided to make Hindi a compulsory third language for all primary classes in the state. In my opinion, this is not a fair decision taken by the government. Maharashtra is the land of the Marathi language. Hindi evolved from Sanskrit and is now spoken by most people in India. However, this move could lead to the decline of native regional languages, which is a real concern. Taking Maharashtra as an example, we can already see that many people prefer speaking Hindi over Marathi, which is a negative trend. Such decisions may further weaken the presence of the regional language.
