A needless pursuit It makes no sense for India, which prides itself on its multilingualism, to make a case for Hindi at the UN Nations came together in the UN two working languages English and French. In 1973 Chinese, French, English, Russian, Arabic and Spanish were UN official languages For Government of India, obtaining official language status for Hindi at the UN is an attractive way of enhancing its stature among languages Current rules do not make it easy. It may be possible for India to get the required two thirds support. However, it is apparent that it cannot get all these countries 129 out of 193 members, To be precise to share the expenditure, as the rules stipulate Waste of resources to spend millions of dollars every year to fund the required translation and interpretation work
Continue External A airs Minister Sushma Swaraj has argued that Hindi is spoken not only in India, but also in Fiji, Suriname, Mauritius,Trinidad andtobago and Guyana. It is quite strange to say as other Indian languages too are spoken in several countries. Bangladesh has asked for official language status for Bengali in the UN, and thewest Bengal Assembly has passed a resolution supporting the claim Congress MP ShashiTharoor pointed out in Parliament, the policy seems to assume that India will have only Hindi speaking Ministers. As a country known for its linguistic pluralism, India should not give an impression on the global stage that it has one pre eminent language.
The ABC of the RTE Free and compulsory education of children in 6 to 14 age group in India became a fundamental right when, in 2002, Article 21 A was inserted in the 86 th Amendment to the Constitution. This right was to be governed by law, as the state may determine, and the enforcing legislation for this came eight years later, as the (RTE) Act, 2010. Act have enormous catalytic potential but that have gone - untouched & unnoticed. Act envisaged that the state, i.e. State governments and panchayats, would aggressively ensure that each child is brought into the schooling system and also retained for eight years Unfortunately, tracking dropouts very high The problem now is more about dropouts than children who were never enrolled. Most hard to reach, such as girls, the disabled, orphans and those from single parent families, the solutions have to be localised Basic minimum standards such as provision for toilets, drinking water and classrooms.
Continue Pupil Teacher ratio Unified District Information System for Education (U DISE) database 2015 16, 33% of schools in country did not have the requisite number of teachers, as prescribed in the RTE Varied from 100% in Lakshadweep to 16.67% in Bihar. No meaningful teaching learning is possible unless trained teachers are physically present at schoo Think decentralisationl Academic calendar will be decided by local authority, which, for most States and UnionTerritories, is the panchayat. Vast cultural and regional diversities within the country such as local festivals, sowing and harvesting seasons, and even natural calamities As a result of which schools do not function academically. Panchayats, perhaps at the district level, decide the working days and holidays, this would not only exponentially increase attendance and teaching learning but also strengthen local panchayats A law is as good or as bad as its implementation- It is unfair to blame legislation
