Highlights of India Today issue dated June 16, 2014 The cover story this week is on the India Today-Nielsen Best Colleges 2014 survey. As always, this year’s survey throws up important trends that may have otherwise gone under the radar and remains the gold standard for students, educators and policymakers. The FIFA World Cup 2014, which begins in a few days, is featured in the sports section. The article speaks of the magic, the passion, the pressure, the highs, the lows and why the World Cup is different from any other sporting event. The Big Story this issue is on the Congress. Like always Rahul Gandhi has shirked responsibility, his advisers skirt accountability and the Congress swiftly disciplines dissidents. Nothing changes on Planet Rahul. The Special Report is on the Badaun gangrape in Uttar Pradesh where politicians have turned the gangrape of two teenagers into a photo opportunity. This issue has three free magazines – Woman, Simply Chennai, Simply Delhi - with it.
