"In the recent MP Board Class 12 exams, two of our learners achieved remarkable results in Science and Maths streams, scoring 98.6 per cent and 97.4 per cent, respectively, while a significant number of our students scored over 90 per cent," Singh told PTI.

India Advocates for Sovereign Funds' Exemption from RBI Investment Rules
The Indian government has requested the central bank to exempt sovereign funds from new stringent rules on investments in alternate investment funds (AIFs). This information comes from two government sources and a fund official.
In December, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) instructed banks and non-banking financial companies to increase provisions for AIF investments. This directive included sovereign funds if they were also lending to projects where the AIFs were investing.
Regulatory Adjustments
The RBI's move aimed to curb the evergreening of loans. However, these rules were partially relaxed in March. The government is now seeking further exemptions for sovereign funds.
Sovereign funds play a crucial role in financing large-scale projects. They often invest in infrastructure and other significant sectors. The tightened rules could impact their ability to invest efficiently.

INR: The Indian rupee fell to a record low of 83.62 against the US dollar on Thursday. The decline was partly triggered by significant block deals worth Rs 23,000 crore on Wednesday, including Vodafone Plc's stake sale in Indus Towers.
USD: The dollar edged higher on Thursday, dollar index rising 0.37% to 105.64 buoyed by wider interest-rate differentials as other major economies began cutting rates ahead of the U.S., and parts of Europe faced political turmoil.

Nifty swung on either sides of 23545 on anticipated lines, while throwing little insights on the next move. Directional moving indicators have eased, pointing to an extended period of consolidation. Within this construct, a slow rise to 24130 or a slow decline to 23035 is possible. Our preference is towards upsides, as long as dips do not force a close below 23460.

Pre-market Outlook By Aditya Gaggar, Director of Progressive Shares
Range Bound weekly expiry trade ended higher at 23,567. With a Spinning Top candlestick pattern, nothing has changed for Nifty50 i.e. lower side is protected at 23,340 while 23,660 will be considered as a resistance. For the past couple of days, the Index has been oscillating in a range; breakout on either side will provide a clear direction. As per anticipation, a strong rally was noticed in all the Fertilizer counters. Some uptick can be seen but we believe it will eventually correct in the form of profit booking as in the lower timeframe they are in an extremely overbought condition, so it's better to book certain parts of profits. From the IT sector, Sonata Software looks strong as it has given a breakout from a Bullish Flag and Pole formation. Selective buying can be seen in the Metal sector. We have identified a few stocks from the Mid and Smallcap segments that are likely to rally in the short term namely Astec Life Science, GHCL, Jay Bharat Maruti, Mahindra Holidays, Ramky Infra, and Usha Martin.
