POVERTY IS AN EPIDEMIC,PARALLIZING THE SOCIETY. MAKE THIS SOCIETY BEAUTIFUL BY CURBING IT FROM ITS ROOT

Making Education A Fundamental Right

The Lok Sabha passed the Right to Education Bill on 4 August 2009, making education a fundamental right of every child between 6 and 14 years of age. Is it a milestone in social inclusion or a futile legislation? Experts differ

An Inclusive Approach

That we require a right to education legislation 62 years after Independence to universalise elementary education sounds unbelievable. Half the children in elementary education, in the age group 6 to 14, do not complete eight years of schooling — a convincing reason to demand a law. The fact that most of those who drop out belong to disadvantaged groups such as dalits, adivasis, minorities and girls highlights the need for education to become inclusive. With the exclusion of access, equity and quality at the school level, and about 300 million adult non-literates, the educational status of India is termed as worse than that of sub-Saharan Africa by experts. The right to education legislation must be seen as a last resort to overcome such deprivation.

The constitutionally mandated duty of the state was to universalise education of children up to age 14 by 1960; a target that has been ignored for nearly 50 years since then. The present legislation defines the most stringent compulsion on the state to finally accomplish this task. It squarely compels the state, rather than the parents, to ensure that all children complete eight years of school education. Importantly, any fee or expense that prevents a child from complete elementary education will have to be borne by the state. It requires that admission to school should not await the production of birth and transfer certificates. It requires that education should be free of fear, anxiety and trauma to the child, and specifically bans mental harassment and physical punishment of children. These are discriminations responsible for large-scale dropouts from the disadvantaged sections of society.

Hopefully, this legislation will ensure that all children, particularly from the disadvantaged groups, are enrolled and retained for eight years of study in schools.

More Wrong Than Right

That India’s education system is in a mess is established. We can’t tap the demographic dividend without fixing education and health. School education used to be a demand-side problem, but no longer. Enrolment rates have improved, including for girls, and out-of-school children are now primarily those of migrant workers. This leaves supply. Poor households now send their wards to private schools, because quality is better. Barring Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas and Sainik schools, we have a quality problem with government schools. So, we should ease entry requirements for private schools and de-link government subsidisation from provisioning.

Unfortunately, instead of addressing the reasons we think legislation is the answer to every problem. If that were the case, there would be no poverty. But right to education isn’t something any MP is going to oppose. It is a separate matter that only 54 MPs were present when the Bill was passed — only 25 of them from the government side. Through this law, the government has recognised it can’t lick its school system and passed the buck for converting a right to schooling into a right to education to the private sector. It will compensate private schools for that extra 25 per cent, but there are no budget provisions. We have no idea who will be responsible for the implementation, the Centre or states.

The human resource development ministry’s vaunted 100-day plan has now been reduced to this legislation alone. Had it been a genuine plan, we would have done something about easing entry requirements. We would have asked why schools charge capitation fee, instead of banning it by legislation. Ditto for private tuitions by teachers. And what purpose does scrapping of exams serve? This new law will only convey the impression of something having been done, without changing anything. Why were those 54 MPs wasting their time?

Hosting Pakistani Flag and burning Indian Flag




A Kashmiri separatist leader burning the Indian Flag

Indian Flag Burnt in Srinagar
Shame on Indian govtand Mediaalso for not making it Breaking News

The only country of the world, where one can dare to burn the national flag..

All these become the masala breaking news of Indian news channels:

* If Tendulkar cuts the cake which is made to look like national flag, he is condemned.
* If Mandira Bedi wears a saree with the flags of all the countries being portrayed on that, is made to apologies.
* If one cop in Kolkata and one in Bangalore is terminated of his duties for throwing the Indian national flag on ground, by mistake.

Then why double standards:

* During the ongoing Amarnath Sangarsh, Jammuites holding the Indian National Flag and chanting 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' are open fired by the J&K Police on orders from the Police Commissioner(belongs to kashmir). Peaceful protesters are killed.
* Like in case of Amarnath case, people in Kashmir when want to get some demand fulfilled, protest by burning Indian national Flag, hosting Pakistani Flag and chanting 'Hindustan Murdabad, Pakistan Jindabad'. But no body condemns. Infact, all such protest are followed by a team of union ministers visiting Kashmir and immediately sanctioning a few thousand crore rupees for Kashmiris.
* Every year on 14th Aug (Pakistani Indipendence Day), Pakistani flag is hosted every where in Kashmir, including the govt. buildings and on 15th Aug, same people burn the Indian flag.


This only happens in India!!!!

just see d pictures above

Really shame on indian media

who never shows these pics.........

shame shame shame ! If These Are Breaking News.....

JAI HIND

Thirst Of Life

When the eyes saw the first ray of light

soul wandering in thirst of love

I was prohibited

At the age of having dolls and toys

Non-Living books became my companions

At the age of finding with friends

I was kept aside from outside world

Burning in the fire of loneliness

Days passed...month passed...years passed

I was let in to the environment

Loneliness changed in to peace

Prison moulded in to heaven

When world was coloured with Holi

I was filled with colourful dreams

And now at the Youth

When my juvenile heart thirst for a mate

The adult conscience wakes me up

Reminds me of my scintilating success

That's eagerly waiting for me

To shower it's blessings

And bring back the love

That was lost in the very beginning

Doom's Day Ahead

Once it was a goose laying golden eggs

But now it is a country where million begs

62 years of independence the nation takes

But still million go to bed without cakes

English came here to do business

And took it to complete darkness

The land that was the mother of all religions

Was made the land of crusades and rebellions

Britishers made our people dance to their whims

Crucified Gandhiji's dreams

By creating riots between Hindus and Muslims

They left us with many exit things

Our politicians also continued the same affair

And made our politics a matter of satire

People like Raja Bhaiya became our ruler

And made our future darker and darker

Election remained no more by giving votes

But by shuffling of coins and notes

This is the Indian politics oh my dear

Where criminal controls the country's gear

The Tsunami Flight

This is a poem in the memory of those innocents who died in the Tsunami on 25th night

After celebrating the Christmas night

People slept with a great delight

But suddenly came the Tsunami Flight

And turned many's delight to their last night

Arrogant water from the heat of the sea

Flushed on to the island with a fiery speed

Rose to aheight beyond sight

And carrioed thousands of innocents with it

The Nicobari's spent their nights without shelter

For Lankans it was more dreadful rather

Instead of celebrating the 31st night

People burnt the candle of mourning light

Democracy or Demoncracy

Democracy is a government where people get the soul power of electing their representative who in turn takes the responsibility of highlighting their issues in front of the government. But now a days it's nothing but a mere literature and has started loosing weight. It's no longer the people rule but a matter of dirty politics. People are being cheated by a bulk of inefficient and corrupt politicians.They win election not through votes but by distributing notes(money). Before elections they just go for campaigning and distribute their election manifesto. After the election who ever party comes it's all the same just the people face changes but their policies and action remain the same.Here are the videos giving the clear picture of it:-
