HIGH TIME TO REVISIT QUALITY OF EDUCATION, WE ARE FAILING

HIGH TIME TO REVISIT QUALITY OF EDUCATION, WE ARE FAILING

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqTTojTija8]

My viewpoint on the subject is well known but the drive has to come from the students since most teachers have started treating teaching / education as a job / means of livelihood and the best means of making money rather than a mission of educating the youth / Nation building. Things are going from bad to worse because the youth has failed / failing to take it seriously. They are just turning out to be merely degree holders but not the educated degree holders. Mind it you all are paying to get educated so it is your right to ask teachers to educate you. Put full stop to MUGGING OR TAKING CLASS NOTES BLINDLY. 

The present day assessment procedures are very stereotyped and have become predictive in nature. Most students are able to make a correct guess of the type of questions those are going to follow. This has killed the enthusiasm for learning amongst the students and they have started taking classroom teaching lying down. The Nation is getting hardest hit. 

Without any prejudice, it is time to revisit the quality of education policy but by the ACCEPTED honest, dedicated educationists and ONLY original & innovative researchers. The present day methodology has failed the education system in the country. Education system is in the claws of pseudo educationists & policy makers. No proof required, result is in front of everyone. Please note pseudo educationists means that the people may be excellent / brilliant in specializations but other than hard-core education.

Students must gather courage and start asking "How & Why" wherever one fails to understand the lecture in the classroom. Education will follow automatically. Class rooms must be made interactive, assessment procedure must be made dynamic & application based. Students must wait to see the answer sheets before going home. Things will definitely improve then. It is clear the present system is not able to cope up but remember youth can achieve whatever they want to. My best wishes with you all. Let us all rise to the occasion and become a positive citizen of this vibrant and dynamic country.

APPEAL TO NATIONAL GREEN TRIBUNAL (NGT)

APPEAL TO NATIONAL GREEN TRIBUNAL (NGT)

[http://www.dailypioneer.com/uploads/main/mn_story_image/T330_58664_Untitled-12.gif]

It is mandatory to carry “Pollution Under Control” certificate all the time. How come then a vehicle (Petrol) is declared “Polluting” the day it attains the age of 15 years despite having valid “Pollution Under Prescribed Limits” certificate?

Only NGT can enlighten on this issue. However this decision of NGT has full support of automobiles manufacturers or some of them might have even tried educating the NGT on the ways of controlling pollution. How can NGT order a vehicle to be off-road despite having valid “Pollution Under Control” certificate? The concern of NGT is environment and implementation of laws to protect it through only logical and scientific means.

Phasing out 15 years old petrol vehicles despite having “Pollution Under Control” certificate will be an enormous financial burden on a common men particularly those who are using the vehicles very sparingly, disposal & waste management challenge for the country, wastage of non-renewable resource, out flow of enormous foreign exchange etc.

I humbly request the NGT to reconsider this decision in the interest of the Nation in a more logical way. This will not help in protecting the environment but instead will be a boon to the automobile manufacturers at the expense of the environment itself for which the whole exercise has been carried out. Increased production means more industrial pollution including increased production of greenhouse gases, waste disposal challenge to the country and energy consumption.

I strongly suggest making the “Pollution Under Control” certificate conditions more stringent and a very strict action against any official allowing such polluting vehicles on roads by accepting bribe or for any other consideration.

NOBEL PRIZE WINNING FORMULA FOR PROTECTING ENVIRONMENT

NOBEL PRIZE WINNING FORMULA FOR PROTECTING ENVIRONMENT

[http://gaadiwaadi.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Diesel-ban-india-delhi-696x435.jpg]

One can’t go without complimenting and congratulating the NGT, The honourable SCI and the Government of Delhi for coming out with a Nobel Prize Winning Formula for converting polluting Vehicles into Non-Polluting Vehicles by charging “Environment Compensation Charge (ECC) or green tax”.

I am not able to understand the Green Tax plan to improve the capital's notoriously filthy air. How will the air get cleaned by paying tax? In any case this tax will be an additional burden on the pockets of the citizens of Delhi. No transporter is going to pay it from his pocket. This will be like rubbing salt to the wound which is already there in the form of the dangerously filthy air and now on top of that additional financial burden.

This only proves that the people in the Driver’s seat only believe in “By the money, of the money and for the money”. What wisdom? Environment Compensation Charge (ECC) or green tax will protect and safeguard the Environment. The polluting vehicle above will become environment friendly after paying "Green Tax".

However, the fact is in front of all of us. Schools are closed, people with mask on the face and walking on the roads are looking like aliens. Have we gone bankrupt?

VEHICLES ENTERING DELHI TO PAY GREEN TAX FROM NOV 1.
Wednesday, 21 October 2015 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

From November 1, diesel-guzzling trucks and commercial vehicles entering Delhi will have to pay Environment Compensation Charge (ECC) or green tax. Passenger vehicles, ambulances, vehicles carrying an essential commodity that is food stuffs and oil tankers have been exempted from environment tax. The Delhi Government is in the process of issuing notification, making it effective from the next month.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday doubled the environment compensation charge (ECC) for loaded commercial vehicles entering Delhi and imposed a blanket ban on registration of diesel vehicles of 2,000 cc and above in the National Capital Region (NCR).

MONEY POWER AND JUDICIAL SYSTEM

Some of the comments from the public are reproduced for quick reference by the Honorable CJI and other judicial officers and the GOI. Onus lies on the Honorable CJI to clarify for restoring faith of the public in Judiciary. The two instances referred by Justice Hegde must be explained to the public. We are a demoralized lot today. 

Just to mention that these are just the two high profile cases reported but there are number of such instances where corruption and conspiracies have been protected / shielded in a shameless manner.

Comments / reaction of the public:
