नए रास्ते-नई मंजिलें-करियर गाइड-करियर-बिज़नस-Navbharat Times

As per news on navbharattimes.com Delhi Technological University  is going to start B.Tech Medical Engineering Course and B.Tech Mathematics & Computing from next year. These are two new courses in the country and the DTU will become first university to start medical engineering. I think the initiative is based on the lines of HRD Mr. Kapil Sibal earlier announcements.
Good initiative.

ABVP to protest against commercialization of education in PU on Nov 9 : MyNews.in

As per news on mynews.in ABVP (Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarathi Parishad) is going to protest against the rise in fees on 9th November, 2010. Also they are asking for implementation of RTI Act in universities. As per ABVP leader Dinesh Chauhan the rise in educational fees has resulted into commercialization of education and higher education is out of reach of common and poor peoples.
I already mentioned it in my previous articles on education at my this blog.
I support peaceful protest for this cause.
ABVP should write to vice-chancellors, chancellors, HRD Ministry, Prime Minister Office, President Office about this issue.

The Hindu : Cities / Delhi : Trial runs start on Sarita Vihar- Badarpur Metro section

The Hindu : Cities / Delhi : Trial runs start on Sarita Vihar- Badarpur Metro section


DMRC has started the trial of metro train from Sarita Vihar to Badarpur on Monday night and hopefully it will be open to public before Diwali. Really DMRC has worked fast to develop the central secretariat - badarpur stretch of metro because they have completed in a very short period. Sarita Vihar to Central Secretariat line has been started before commonwealth games but the remaining stretch of Sarita Vihar to Badarpur via Mohan Estate, Tuglakabad is under trials and will start its operation for public hopefully before Diwali. It is a Diwali gift given to for the people of Delhi and NCR by DMRC.

I hope that no compromise on quality has been done to meet the deadlines.

Say No To Fire Crackers on Diwali

Diwali is coming and everyone has started planning and buying the gifts, cloths, cards, sweets and our young generations of teenagers, children's and even some well educated mature persons are very enthusiastic about bursting fire crackers. Bursting of fire crackers of hundred crores leads to much smoke, noise and other types of pollution. It even hurts and increase problems of patients admitted in hospitals and senior citizens who are generally have some type of allergy/disease due to age factors are increased. If the same amount of money is used for betterment of society it could be very useful.
By saying no to Fire Crackers we might not only reduce the high costs of buying and burning these crackers, but also reduce the expense incurred in the treatment and cure of asthma and other pollution related diseases including anxiety and heart problems. Should we not act reasonably and prove ourselves to be better citizens? Should we not make improved use of our education?
Yes their many peoples are employed with crackers industry but fire crackers manufacturers should come forward to make a crackers which specifies the limit of noise, size, smoke etc with regard to manufacturing of crackers.
Safety standard keeping in view the user safety must be also kept in mind . Moreover they should also try to invent how the bad impact of fire crackers on environment can be reversed and is it possible to recycle the waste produced by crackers. Although government have fixed 10:00 PM as the last time to burst crackers but government should also fix the standards for manufacturing of crackers.
At our own level we should come forward to SAY NO TO CRACKERS so that we can save environment and our  planet Earth (Our Mother) which has reached to critical dangerous stage right now due to global warming and rapidly increasing pollution levels.
We should celebrate our festivals with flowers, sweets and happiness. There are also many others methods through which we can celebrate our festivals.
Let’s spread this message to everyone.

Badkhal Flyover to Ankhir Chowk

Currently these days so many trees are being cut on the green belt adjacent to road between Badkhal Flyover to Ankhir Chowk, probably the road is being converted from two lane to four lane and a another two land flyover may be constructed in coming near future joining the existing flyover which connects with National Highway-2 Mathura Road. Construction of new road will ease down the traffic problem and increase pace of development but Hundreds of trees has been cut down for the above mentioned purpose on the One Kilometer green belt area .  Important questions regarding environment which arises are :-

1. How the environment will be compensated?

2. Does any other location has been identified where the trees will be planted against the trees cut down?

3. What budget has been allocated for the new trees to be planted?

4. What timeline has been made.

I don't think that anything out of above mentioned questions has been done but is it possible to access these information using RTI. What are the concerned department which are carrying out this exercise.

Why the residents of nearby area are not raising a voice for the same.

Under new scheme, students can own computer for USD 35 - The Times of India

Just now I read on TimesofIndia website that Union HRD minister Kapil Sabil's announced in the 39th annual conference of council of boards of school education in India (COBSE) in Ajmer that government is planning to provide the laptop to students "US$35 means approximately Rs.1600 along with a 50% subsidy by the Central government .

We are still waiting the Rs.750 laptop launched by Mr. Sibal previously because the availbility of laptop to students at low cost will totally change the scenario of Indian Education.

Best of Luck Mr. Kapil Sibal.
