September 2025 News Round‑Up: Scholarships, Cricket Thriller, and Bollywood Love
If you skimmed through India Daily News Hub this month, you probably saw three stories that sparked a lot of chatter. First, a scholarship aimed at millions of girl students; second, a T20 World Cup match that kept fans on the edge of their seats; and third, a Bollywood star’s heartfelt birthday. Let’s break down why each piece mattered and what you can take away.
Azim Premji Scholarship 2025 – Everything You Need to Know
The Azim Premji Foundation opened its 2025 scholarship for up to 2.5 lakh girl students studying in government schools across 18 states. The award pays ₹30,000 per year for the entire length of an undergraduate or diploma course, as long as the student stays enrolled.
Who can apply? You must have completed Class 10 and 12 in a government school and already secured admission to a recognized college or university. The scholarship is not a one‑off grant; it renews each year if you meet the continuity rule.
What documents do you need? Download the online portal, then upload your Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, Aadhaar, admission letter, a passport‑style photo, signature, and bank details for the stipend. The deadline is strict – September 30, 2025, 11:59 PM. Missing it means you wait for next year.
Why does this matter? More than half of the beneficiaries come from low‑income families where higher education is a stretch. The scholarship removes that financial barrier, letting bright girls chase engineering, medicine, or the arts without worrying about tuition.
T20 World Cup Showdown: Bangladesh Beats Sri Lanka by 2 Wickets
On the cricket front, Bangladesh edged Sri Lanka in a low‑scoring thriller that ended 125‑124. Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka smashed 47 off 28 balls, but the middle order faltered, leaving a modest total.
Bangladesh’s chase was anything but smooth. Early wickets fell at regular intervals, and the required run rate kept hovering above six. The game turned when the lower order, led by a calm finish from the number 8 batsman, held the line and nudged the score past the target with just two wickets left.
This win gives Bangladesh a confidence boost ahead of the next knockout round, while Sri Lanka heads back to the drawing board after a second straight loss. Fans praised the tension, saying it reminded them why T20 cricket is such a roller‑coaster.
Suniel Shetty Turns 64 – A Grandfather’s First Celebration
Bollywood’s own Sunil Shetty marked his 64th birthday by stepping into the role of ‘Ajja’ — a term for grandfather in many Indian languages. The celebration was intimate, with his daughter Athiya, son‑in‑law KL Rahul, and close friends sharing heartfelt messages.
The family posted a cake shaped like a cuddly ‘Ajja’ figure, and Athiya’s Instagram story showed her hugging Sunil, calling the moment “the best gift ever.” Fellow actors like Jackie Shroff and Shilpa Shetty chimed in with nostalgic anecdotes, turning a simple birthday post into a mini‑tribute to his long career.
What makes this noteworthy? It’s the first time Sunil publicly embraces the grandfather title, signaling a new personal chapter. The warm response from fans and industry peers shows how much his genuine, family‑first image resonates.
September 2025 wrapped up with stories that mattered to different slices of Indian life — education, sport, and entertainment. Whether you’re a student eyeing a scholarship, a cricket fan craving edge‑of‑the‑seat action, or someone who loves a good celebrity birthday, the month offered something useful and memorable. Stay tuned to India Daily News Hub for more updates that keep you in the loop.
