POLITICO-CORRUPTOCRACY

POLITICO-CORRUPTOCRACY

https://tinyurl.com/y3f6pca2

The true meaning of democracy is “by the people, for the people, of the people” but the true meaning of the Indian Vote Bank Governed and driven Democracy is “by the politicians, for the politicians, of the politicians”.

The better term to describe our political system is “POLITOCRACY”. POLITOCRACY is a political form of government where the politicians work for themselves, neither for the party, nor the electorate. Our politicians most without professional qualifications and experiences but with pending court cases are capable of making policies for steering the Nation. This includes the three major ones as well (Foreign, Defence, and Education). The education policy is in fact the backbone of the Nation but our Politocracy has ensured that it remains broken forever. Since we are the true captive vote bank members, have “No vision and self-esteem”. 


Another term that describes our system accurately is “CORRUTOCRACY”. This means “for the corrupt, by the corrupt, of the corrupt”. This corruption could be Financial, Moral and Ethical or all in one. This mainly is based on buy and sale of Political Souls (Horse Trading) for building empire of corruption for family and self.

The hybrid term could be "Politico-Corruptocracy"

FATHER OF THE NATION OR SON OF THE NATION

FATHER OF THE NATION OR SON OF THE NATION

Request the GOI to ponder on calling Shree Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi as “Rashtra Pita”. It looks like as if we are insulting the Nation. No one can ever be bigger than the Nation. Bharat existed much before he was born. He was born in Bharat (India) then how can he be called as “Rashtra Pita” or “Father of the Nation”? If at all there is a political compulsion then he may be called as “Rashtra Putra, (राष्ट्र पुत्र)” or "Son of the Nation". This is without any prejudice. Nation must be respected.

NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY 2019, SOME IMMEDIATE COMMENTS

NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY 2019, SOME IMMEDIATE COMMENTS

I happen to go through the draft of “National Education Policy 2019”. Without any prejudice, I have the following immediate observations:

1. What was the need for preparing draft for “National Education Policy 2019”?
2. Has the present policy failed to deliver?
3. What has gone wrong?
4. Were the policy makers short sighted?
5. What markers were and are the base of forming the earlier policy and the present draft?
6. Who all are accountable for this failure both at the School Education and Higher Education level?

By and large there seems to be some contradictions in the present report. Causes of failure sighted at various places look little vague and are without any “Pinpointed suggestions / reasons / solutions”.
The cause(s) of chronic disease and decay haven’t been isolated or quantified.

Therefore, I humbly suggest holding on the implementation of this draft since it will be a futile exercise without the HONEST POST MORTEM of the existing failed education policy. Without providing or listing of “How and Why” of events leading to failure of the present policy will lead to another failure in succession. The Higher Education will not have another chance to come out of the ventilator. We must not close our eyes like a pigeon when it sees a cat.

Preparing a policy of this importance is not easy. The sincere effort of the esteemed members is well appreciated. However, the post-mortem needs to be carried out first; else it may prove to be another disaster. I sincerely request one and all to please take it as a positive criticism in the interest of everyone.

ONLINE ENGINEERING DEGREES, SHOULD IT BE A REALITY?

ONLINE ENGINEERING DEGREES, SHOULD IT BE A REALITY?

Is it the right time and the best opportunity for introducing the 'ONLINE ENGINEERING DEGREE' programmes in the country? The advantages could be:

1.        Tremendous resource saving in terms of funding, land, infrastructure, energy, foreign exchange.

2.        Requirement of few hundred acres of land for each institution will vanish. Thus more land can be made available for modern farming and improved civic infrastructure.

3.        There won’t be any financial pressure on the parents for sustaining their wards in Hostels.

4.        Staying at home will allow healthy and hygienic food for the students all the time.

5.        Huge expenditure and pressure in hiring faculty will be eliminated.

6.        Examination could be ‘Online or OMR sheet’ based.

7.        Single University (National University) alone can manage all online admissions and testing process.

8.        Students can register for ‘mooc courses offered by nptel’.

9.        Anybody interested irrespective of age with minimum eligibility should be able to register for the particular course. This will do away with all entrance tests.

10.     Students thus will be able to register for a degree of choice since there can’t be any limit on the number of seats available in a particular programme.

11.     All the students will hence be covering exactly the same curriculum and examination. This will also help in providing honest National grading of students (Absolute Ranking).

12.     Pressure of opening more institutions and creating infrastructure won’t be there.

13.     There won’t be any peer pressure on the tender minds. This will be saving students from getting in to mental depression and frustrations.

14.     Funds saved could be utilized for creating better civic amenities and ‘Affirmative Action’ for the society.

15.     The greatest advantage could be the Vaporization of Coaching Institutes, thus saving young minds from the tremendous mental pressure which at times leads to committing suicide.

16.     Education won’t be a business anymore.

PADMA AWARDS: A STATE OF UTTER CONFUSION

PADMA AWARDS: A STATE OF UTTER CONFUSION

https://goo.gl/52yCVf

Heartiest congratulations to all the JEWELS (Padma Awardees-2019) of India. You must have done a great service to the People and the Nation. We are proud of you. However, without any prejudice and offence, I always find myself at loss regarding the BASIC ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA for these awards. 

To the best of my knowledge the Padma Awards are one of the highest civilian honours of India announced annually on the eve of Republic Day. The Awards are given in three categories: Padma Vibhushan (for exceptional and distinguished service), Padma Bhushan (distinguished service of higher order) and Padma Shri (distinguished service). The award seeks to recognize achievements in all fields of activities or disciplines where an ELEMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE WITHOUT PERSONAL SELF-INTEREST AND WEALTH GENERATION FOR SELF IS INVOLVED.

It will be a great service to the people if any of the awardees or the Government finds time to educate us on this issue. I am sure some of the awardees themselves are in a state of shock to find their names in the list of awardees.

UGC / AICTE: A VIEWPOINT

UGC / AICTE: A VIEWPOINT

Most procedures of UGC / AICTE are impractical and look good only on paper. Most institutions give two hoots to the UGC / AICTE regulations because everyone knows that there is no mechanism to take any action. Even MHRD controlled institutions are involved in gross violations of UGC / AICTE norms. No action is ever taken despite reporting under signatures and complete official address.

Autonomous institutions functioning independent of AICTE / UGC are no less in flaunting the standard procedures. There are excellent procedures but for flaunting at will. Things have gone beyond the control of MHRD. Damage control may work only with a strong will power. There are no standard operating procedures either within the institutions.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE PUMPING-IN OF FUNDS AND THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION & RESEARCH. 

SCIENTISTS CREATE LABORATORIES BUT LABORATORIES ALONE CAN'T PRODUCE SCIENTISTS.

The rat race for: 1) Publications in whatsoever journal (generally paid), 2) Attending and Organising conferences / workshops / Short term courses by using the internal resource, These programmes are organised by using the funds provided by the MHRD for improving the quality of education and the conducive atmosphere for the students. But these funds are wasted in internally organising the conferences / workshops / Short term courses and earning the points for further promotions. The mathematics is let us assume there are six departments and two hundred faculty members. Every faculty member attends these programmes (on paper only) and ends up getting SIX PARTICIPATION CERTIFICATES without availing any leave but instead enjoys free hospitality & mementos for which Public Money is grossly misused. 3) Awarding Phds irrespective of quality & research content. One can easily come across lot of theses with Copy-Paste & Plagiarised material on the PRESTIGIOUS Shodganga website. The funniest thing is that such unscrupulous people have even managed to get appointed by AICTE itself, 4) Widespread PLAGIARISM

is the gift of UGC / AICTE.  Please go through the following link:

SOLE CAUSE OF AIR POLLUTION

SOLE CAUSE OF AIR POLLUTION

[https://tinyurl.com/y7ftsx84]

The firm belief in the philosophy of corruption is the SOLE cause of AIR POLLUTION. It is like doing anything that would tend to harm one's own interests (अपनी कब्र खुद खोदना). We have almost reached a point of no return. The system of Governance with NO ACCOUNTABILITY will never succeed in achieving the Goals come what may. 

All those using the masks for filtering the pollution must use the masks for filtering the pollution, the real ENEMY. 

Think honestly and introspect. Remember the truth is always bitter, many won't accept it.

ELECTING OWN COALITION GOVERNMENT AND ELIMINATING HORSE TRADING & OPPORTUNISTIC POLITICS

ELECTING OWN COALITION GOVERNMENT AND ELIMINATING HORSE TRADING & OPPORTUNISTIC POLITICS

https://tinyurl.com/yastt25k

True democracy can be sustained and nurtured only when top two political parties are asked to go to the polls again in a situation where none of the parties manage to get at least 50% of the valid votes polled for forming the Government. None of the parties should be allowed to form the Government if they fail to get the magic figure of at least 50 % of valid votes polled. Re-polling is the only option for forming the government.

Asking the top two parties to re-contest at the earliest convenient Sunday will ensure that at least one of them gets a Clear Majority. This will 100% eliminate all possibilities of formation of Coalition Government or the hung parliament / assembly. Horse trading or shifting of loyalties for consideration will become a matter of past. Mushrooming of opportunistic political parties during elections will also become a matter of past.

Or else

This can also be achieved when we consciously and collectively decide to elect people on the basis of their Reputation, Quality of head and the Commitment for the Nation irrespective of party affiliation, cast, creed, language and religion. Voting for the parties has proved to be 100% futile. Till now we have been voting for candidates of a particular party since we don’t agree to the philosophy & election manifesto of other political parties. However, immediately after election all these political parties get together to form Coalition Government (“Gutbandhan kee rajneeti”) without an iota of respect for our sentiments. All political parties by and large take the voters for a ride for managing WEALTH for their families and themselves on sharing basis. Coalition is the decent name for sharing the wealth and other assets of the Nation by the elected politicians.

WHY NOT WE ELECT OUR COALITION GOVERNMENT INSTEAD OF GIVING FREEDOM TO UNSCRUPULOUS POLITICIANS TO FORM IT AFTER THE ELECTIONS?

The Prime Minister can be from the largest group of MPs belonging to a particular party or can be elected unanimously. Remaining positions can be distributed on the basis of proportional representation of every party. Of course Home Minister, Finance Minister, Defense Minister and Foreign Minister will have to be from the party to which the PM belongs. Once we decide, the unscrupulous politicians will VAPORIZE in thin air instantly. The democracy in the present form can’t deliver. It has failed and has only polarized the masses.

Election commission must ensure that the true philosophy of democracy that is “by the people, of the people and for the people” is respected at least now.

Please understand the power of a common man. One right decision can change the future of the Nation. It's time to implement and ensure. Let us rise to the occasion and contribute in REAL Nation building. Let us build a formidable India.
