QUOTE OF THE

DAYIndia’s education system is terribly out of step with the times

Education should achieve three broad objectives. First, provide skills required for professional growth. Second, provide life skills, which include soft skills, maturity, and emotional growth. Third, build a strong character for being a good human being and citizen. While it will be a mistake to say that the education system in India has completely failed to fulfil these objectives, a serious rethinking is required. The Na-tional Curriculum Framework (NCF), the foundation-al document for elementary and secondary education, forms the basis for agencies like the Central Board of Secondary Education and the National Council of Educational Research and Training to develop and administer school curricula. The recommendations in the NCF can, at least partially, achieve the objectives that this article identifies. The government has further invited suggestions through the New Education Pol-icy Group. But the existing volume of recommenda-tions, as well as the new ones being sought, may still not deliver the reforms we need, primarily because of two sets of reasons. First, there are systemic prob-lems in our education machinery. India does not have enough teachers who can even understand, let alone practise, the methods being recommended by the var-ious frameworks. According to the World Bank, the average pupil-teacher ratio at the primary level in In-dia is 35 — this is the highest among emerging econ-omies, and much higher when compared to the devel-oped world. A high pupil-teacher ratio impedes the imparting of soft skills and has an adverse impact on the emotional growth of children. Finally, the heav-ily regulated private sector is hampered by archaic laws that discourage, and even prohibit, innovation. The second set of reasons concerns the abundance of alternatives, which render the formal system ineffec-tive, if not completely useless. The most glaring ex-ample is that of on-job training. The formal system is so de-linked from the industry’s requirements that practically every new entrant in the workforce has to be first skilled by the employer. The National Em-ployability Report 2014 found that only 18 per cent of engineering graduates are employable. India’s for-mal education system behaves like an industry of the colonial era. It neither recognises the current needs of students nor provides the desired infrastructure. Our children are put into a machine. It takes 12 years for a finished product. After this, many choose to remain on the shop floor for another four years and become a certified product. Few prefer to undertake an addi-tional two years and become a special product.

“delhi Police being used by BJP/RSS as their private army to terrorize and teach lesson to anyone opposing BJP/RSS. I strongly condemn attack on students. FTII, Rohith case, Hyderabad University, IITs and now brutal attack on delhi students. Modi govt seems to be at war with students all across,”

The year 2016 has seen many celebrity break-ups already, and when fans are yet to believe all of them, there comes in an-other blooper. But this one will annoy you more, trust me! actor Pulkit Samrat, who was recent-ly all over the news for his alleged link-up with co-star Yami Gautam has finally spoken the truth. The actor in an interview has revealed that all the buzz around his relation-ship status with the ‘fair

and lovely’ actress was actually fake! Yes, quite a statement we say. Pulkit said that all of this link-up thing was started just for the publicity and pro-motions—so that the film benefits from it. He con-fessed that it did help the promotions of the film, and added that how ev-eryone has been fooled. Wow! How we like this genius idea of faking a relationship, when in real many are breaking bad. Their film ‘Sanam Re’ releases on February 12, 2016.

How To Get Away with Murder actress Vio-la Davis thinks “open-ness” is more important than “boycotting”. The 50-year-old actress be-lieves it is “fine” for people to attend the up-coming Academy Awards ceremony, which stars including Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith are refusing to attend due to the lack of diversity, reported People maga-

zine. Asked her thoughts on the boycott, she said, “People should do what they want to do with the Oscars. If they want to watch it, that’s fine. If they don’t, that’s fine. I think more importantly, when you walk into a the-atre, whether it be a mov-ie theatre or a live theatre, be open to the experience of the story. I think that sometimes people feel like stories about people of colour are not inclu-sive. They are very much

inclusive. I mean, the work of August Wilson -- which really, pretty much made my career -- is ev-eryone’s story. So I’m just saying, plop your money down to see ‘Race’, to see ‘Dope’, to see ‘Straight Outta Compton’, to see ‘Selma’, to support direc-tors like Ava DuVernay, Lee Daniels, Spike Lee... Their stories are just as valid and as important as anyone else. More im-portant than boycotting is openness.”

Actress Katrina Kaif, who has featured in some action films like ‘Dhoom:3’, ‘Ek Tha Ti-ger’ and ‘Phantom’, be-lieves that if supported rightly, women-centric action films can work in Bollywood. “I believe if we have right kind of sup-port, a woman-centric ac-tion film really works. It will be a complete trans-formation and something radical,” she said as she discussed her desire to ap-pear in a role that requires her to do some serious ac-tion, in an interview here. Asked if she wishes to do action films which have a female lead, she said: “I would love to do ac-tion films... I recently saw

Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who is reported to have been dating Alia Bhatt, said that the actress is just his good friend. “We are great friends and col-leagues. We also have a film coming up called Ka-poor And Sons. We (Alia and I) have a great work-ing relationship. I know her since my first film, so there is an emotional con-nection. We have always been there for each oth-er’s films. We knew each other before we did films.

So, that bond will never change,” Sidharth said. Initially, media reports used to affect Sidharth’s family. But, the actor said that they are getting used to it now. “We all are pro-fessionals and we know how to work for the film or a scene. Initially, it used to affect my family. They are in Delhi. They were not aware about all this, how and what is written. They used to question me. But now, we are getting used to it,” he added. Sidharth and Alia made their debut in Bolly-

wood with Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year in 2012. However, Sidharth said that there has been a drastic change in Alia as an actress. “I think Stu-dent Of The Year was the least that she got. High-way took her to another level, and from there she has gone up. You can see that in front of the cam-era. There is a remarkable change in her as an actor. The way in which she en-acts a scene and all,” said Sidharth. Sidharth also spoke about Kapoor And Sons.

While major auto companies are working on intro-ducing the futuristic self-driving technology in cars soon, this threatens to open new security problems for them as hackers have sensed an opportunity here, a researcher has predicted. “We are a long way from securing the non-autonomous vehicles, let alone the autonomous ones,” said Stefan Sav-age, computer science professor at the University of California-San Diago, in MIT Technology Review. Pointing out security flaws to car companies which are into driverless car technology, the researcher said that extra computers, sensors and improved In-ternet connectivity required to make a car drive on

its own increase the possible weak points.

The World Twenty20 Championships to be held next month in India are nothing but a “waste of time”, feels former Aus-tralian pacer Ryan Harris. A day after Australia were whitewashed 3-0 by India in a T20 series, Harris said there is no point in having a Twenty20 World Cup when the sides involved do not play too many of such games on a regular basis. “Personally I think it’s a waste of time having a T20 World Cup,” Har-ris, who retired from the game last year, told ‘SEN Radio’. “Last year we played one T20 (against England in August). This year because there’s a World Cup I think we play six there’s three more in

The Australian Open, the season’s first Grand Slam, came to an end with the showpiece men’s singles final on Sunday. Novak Djokovic emerged cham-pion in Melbourne for a re-cord sixth time, trumping Andy Murray in the final for the fourth time. On the women’s side, there was

a first-time Grand Slam champion, Angelique Kerber producing a solid, assured display of tennis to deny favourite Serena Williams a record-equal-ling 22nd Major. Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares won the men’s doubles, just a month after teaming apart. Soares then made it a double double of sorts,

winning the mixed dou-bles with Elena Vesni-na. In women’s doubles, world number one pair continued their stagger-ing, winning their third straight Major, 12th title together, and extending their winning streak to 36 matches. Here’s what we learned from the fortnight in Melbourne.

I am sure that Sehwag will prove to be a great mentor and his presence will be ex-tremely appreciated by the squad.” Sehwag, on his part, said he is look-ing forward to his new

Given the relationship and ca-maraderie I share with the squad, management and promoters, it feels like I am with my extend-ed family.

Dhoni also said that Raina is the only player in this set-up who has done well bat-ting at No. 3 for Chen-nai Super Kings as well as batting at No. 5 or 6 for India. “To an extent, we are rewarding IPL performances. Raina has

scored the most number of runs at No. 3 for eight IPL seasons now, and at the same time in one of the World T20s, he bat-ted at No. 3 for us and he got the hundred too. But there were others who could also do a similar job in that slot but there was no one else who could bat at No. 5 or 6. “The conditions from now onward will also be similar to what we get during the IPL, so we want to cash in on that aggression,” said the skipper.

are moving towards ar-riving at a compromise formula,” he said on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of a new police station here. Hardik yes-terday had threatened to launch another round of

agitation for reservation under OBC category and accused the Gujarat gov-ernment of “failing” to resolve the main issue. In a letter addressed to Chief Minister Anandiben Patel yesterday, Hardik, who is

lodged in Surat jail, said if the issue was not sort-ed out soon, the BJP will face the wrath of Patels in 2017 Assembly elec-tions. In the letter, Har-dik also distanced him-self from the community leaders, who are report-edly mediating with the government on behalf of the Patel community. “Some selfish leaders of our community are hold-ing talks with the gov-ernment. They are doing it for their own benefit, not for the interest of the community. It seems that no one has yet conveyed you the actual demands of our community,” he had said in his letter.

system. Out of these 60 stations, 45 are directly connected with ISR while remaining are offline. As many as 13,800 people had died and 1,67,000 were injured when a powerful earthquake had struck about 250 km west of Ahmedabad at a depth of 25 kilometre on 26 January, 2001. Accord-ing to Kumar, the 50 new stations will collect and analyse various noises, seismic waves and signals coming from the crust of the earth, which will help the scientists to locate active fault-lines which are responsible for earth-quakes. “ISR has planned

to set up 50 new seismic stations to study what is happening below the sur-face of Gujarat. The main purpose of this project is to find out what is going on in deep mantle or deep crust by analysing various noises coming out from the earth” said Kumar. “Each station will have one SMA and one BBS. These equipments are very sensitive and state-of-the-art. The total cost of our project is around Rs five crore. This proj-ect is more about esti-mating long term seis-mic hazard, as very less information is avail-able with us about earth

below,” said Kumar. Broadband Seismome-ters are instruments that measure motion of the ground including those of seismic waves gener-ated by earthquakes, vol-canic eruptions and other seismic sources. Records of seismic waves allow seismologists to map the interior of the Earth as well as to locate and measure the size of these different sources. Strong Motion Accelerographs are useful when the earth-quake ground motion is so strong that it causes the more sensitive seis-mometers to go off-scale, said Kumar. According to Kumar, the new 50 sta-tions will not be scattered across Gujarat like the present network. “This time, we will set up all these 50 stations in one particular city or district for six months and collect the data offline. This will give us accurate result about seismic activity of particular area. Then, we will take them to another place,” said Kumar.

Our consti-tution already empowers them with voting rights. For their empowerment, he gave three rules to be followed — shiksha, sangathan and sangharsh (education, organise and struggle).
