We are all realizing the dream of Gandhi in which we have to further empower the 22 languages of the country which are included in the 8th schedule of the Constitution and the important responsibility of connecting them is on Hindi. This will probably be a language with more than 9 lakh words and this power is definitely coming from its relationship with these 22 languages of the country, Shri Pokhriyal said.
Shri Pokhriyal said that it is a matter of pride that we all have gathered in times of crisis for a good cause. We have all gathered for the inauguration of a building that is constantly striving to teach Hindi. Thanking the Telangana government, he said that land has been provided to the institution. In the new education policy, we have come up with education in mother tongue. Language is not the word, but the spirit. In language, there is tradition, culture, life and value, he added.
The Hyderabad Centre building has been inaugurated on the land of Padma Bhushan Shri Moturi Satyanarayan ji, who was an ardent follower of Mahatma Gandhi, he said. Mahatma Gandhi said that all our languages are same and we have to empower all of them including Hindi that connects all languages.
Shri Pokhriyal highlighted that many countries have provided education in mother tongue. Examples of countries like Germany, France, Japan, Israel etc. are in front of us. All these countries have made a lot of progress in the field of research and technology by studying in the mother tongue. We also have to know foreign languages, but should not leave our roots. We are trying to make Indian Language University, so that people from different regions can learn the languages of different states. It is very important that the people of the North learn the languages of the South and the people of the South

Jaipur :27thJuly 2021
All the newly established Mahatma Gandhi State Government Schools (English Medium) in Rajasthan are overwhelming with admission applications. There are nearly 60,000 applications received by the Rajasthan Secondary Education department, almost three times the available seats 18093 seats. One school in the state capital city Jaipur has received nearly 1,400 applications against 60 seats of class I. The demand stands tall even as the state government has added 168 such schools last year. The secondary education department in consideration of the demand has even permitted for operation of two batches in schools that have adequate infrastructure, admissions are being finalised through lottery system to extend an equal opportunity to all applicants.
"This is only the third year since the Mahatma Gandhi State Government Schools came in operation and have earned trust of people. There were mere 33 schools at district levels in 2019 that have been increased to over 200 by 2021 and 330 existing government schools are being considered to be transformed as English medium. However, wherever the number of applicants is higher than available seats lottery system is adopted for selection," Said Saurabh Swami (IAS), Director Secondary Education, Rajasthan.
If mere the public enthusiasm is not convincing of the quality testifying the education standard is the fact that more than 3700 students admitted to these schools are wards of the school staff. The Mahatma Gandhi State Government Schools were first introduced 2019 from classes I to VIII, they have gradually been adding one class each year to accommodate promoted students. The district level schools that opened in 2019 have this year been now upgraded to class X. The schools opened in 2020 have been upgraded to class IX.
These english medium schools of Rajasthan presently have more than 73,600 students enrolled and with new admission the number is likely to reach above 1 Lakh.

In view of the unprecedented circumstances of Covid-19Union Minister for HumanResource Development Shri RameshPokhriya ‘Nishank advised CBSE to provide an opportunity to all students, who have failed in 9th and 11th to take online/offline tests. Accordingly, CBSE has issued a notification regarding this.
CBSE, in their notification writes that the whole country is facing a challenging time due to Covid-19. This is an unprecedented situation. Children are confined at home. Their schools are closed. They are experiencing mental stress and anxiety. Parents are worried about salaries, health of family etc. In this difficult time, children who have not been able to clear school examinations will be even more upset. The queries of such students are constantly being received by CBSE. Queries from parents are also being received continuously. At such a difficult time, all of us will have to make joint efforts to relieve students from stress and to help them to mitigate their anxiety.
CBSE, in view of the requests of the parents and students, as a one time measure in extraordinary situation,has decided that all the failed students of 9th and 11th will be provided an opportunity to appear in a school-based test again. Opportunity will be extended to students irrespective of whether their examinations have been completed and the exam results have been released or their exams have not been completed.This facility is to be extended irrespective of number of subjects and attempts.
Schools by providing remediation to such students can conduct online / offline / innovative tests and may decide promotion on the basis of this test. This test can be taken in all subjects in which students have failed. Before holding the test, the schools will give sufficient time to the students to prepare. Therefore all schools affiliated to CBSE will provide an opportunity to all the failed students of classes 9th and 11th for all subjects where students have failed. It is once again reiterated that this exemption is to be extended to all the students even if they have been given the opportunity earlier to this notification also.
This one-time opportunity is being extended only in current year in view of the unprecedented conditions of Covid-19. This benefit is a one time measure and will not be extended in future.

15. National Institute of Open Schooling Saturday January 5 2019 : National Institute of Open Schooling
NIOS is "Open School" to cater to the needs of a heterogeneous group of learners up to pre-degree level. It was started as a project with in-built flexibilities by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in 1979. In 1986, the National Policy on Education suggested strengthening of Open School System for extending open learning facilities in a phased manner at secondary level all over the country as an independent system with its own curriculum and examination leading to certification.
Consequently, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India set up the National Open School (NOS) in November 1989. The pilot project of CBSE on Open School was amalgamated with NOS. Through a Resolution (No. F.5-24/90 Sch.3 dated 14 September 1990 published in the Gazette of India on 20 October 1990), the National Open School (NOS) was vested with the authority to register, examine and certify students registered with it up to pre-degree level courses. In July 2002, the Ministry of Human Resource Development amended the nomenclature of the organisation from the National Open School (NOS) to the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) with a mission to provide relevant continuing education at school stage, up to pre-degree level through Open Learning system to prioritized client groups as an alternative to formal system, in pursuance of the normative national policy documents and in response to the need assessments of the people, and through it to make its share of contribution:
To universalisation of education,
To greater equity and justice in society, and
To the evolution of a learning society.
What does NIOS do?
The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) provides opportunities to interested learners by making available the following Courses/Programmes of Study through open and distance learning (ODL) mode.
Open Basic Education (OBE) Programme for 14+ years age group, adolescents and adults at A, B and C levels that are equivalent to classes III, V and VIII of the formal school system.
Secondary Education Course
Senior Secondary Education Course
Vocational Education Courses/Programmes
Life Enrichment Programmes
The OBE programme
Envisages schooling by providing a learning continuum based on graded curriculum ensuring quality of education for children, neo-literates, school drop-outs/left-outs and NFE completers.
For implementation of OBE programme, the NIOS has partnership with about 853 Agencies providing facilities at their study centres. It is a sort of academic input relationship with partnering agencies. The NIOS provides resource support (such as adaptation of NIOS model curricula, study materials, joint certification, orientation of Resource Persons and popularisation of OBE) to the voluntary agencies and Zila Saksharta Samiti
16. Prime Minister addresses the Conclave on School Education in 21st Century under the NEP 2020 Friday September 11 2020 : The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi addressed the Conclave on “School Education in 21st Century” under the NEP 2020 today through video conference.
Speaking on the occasion Prime Minister said that National Education Policy is going to give a new direction to 21st century India and we are becoming part of a moment that is laying the foundation for building the future of our country. He said that hardly any aspect of our life remained the same in these three decades yet our education system is still running under the old system.
The new National Education Policy is a means to fulfilling new aspirations, new opportunities of a new India, he said.
The Prime Minister said that the NEP 2020 is a result of hardwork of people from every region, every sector and every language in the last 3 to 4 years. He said the actual work begins now, in implementation of the policy.
He urged the teachers to work together for an effective implementation of the National Education Policy.
The Prime Minister said it is legitimate that many questions arise after the announcement of the Policy and that it is necessary to discuss such issues in this conclave to move forward.
The Prime Minister expressed happiness that principals and teachers are enthusiastically participating in this discussion to implement the National Education Policy. He said that over 1.5 million suggestions have been received within a week from teachers across the country on implementing the National Education Policy.
The Prime Minister said that energetic youth are the engines of development of a country but that their development should begin from their childhood. He said that the education of children, the right environment they get, to a large extent determines what the person would become in his future and what his personality would be. He said the NEP-2020 lays a lot of emphasis on this.
The Prime Minister said that it is in preschool where children begin to understand their senses, their skills better. For this, there is a need for schools and teachers to provide an environment of fun learning, playful learning, activity based learning and discovery based learning to children. He said that as the child progresses, it is very necessary to develop a greater learning spirit, scientific and logical thinking, mathematical thinking and scientific temperament.
In the National Education Policy, The Prime Minister stressed the importance of replacing the old 10 Plus 2 with the system of 5 Plus 3 Plus 3 Plus 4. He said now playful education of the pre-school which is limited to private schools in cities will also reach villages once this policy is implemented.
He emphasized that focus on basic education is the most important aspect of this policy. Under the National Education Policy, the development of foundational literacy and numeracy will be taken as a national mission. The child should go ahead and read to learn, for that it is necessar

Union Education Minister launches CBSE Assessment Framework for Science, Maths and English classes as part of CBSE Competency Based Education Project Wednesday March 24 2021 : Union Education Minister launched CBSE Assessment Framework for Science, Maths and English classes as part of CBSE Competency Based Education Project in New Delhi today.
Speaking at the launch, the Minister said, “The core objective of the NEP is to guide the transition to an education system that enables our youth to have a better future. Schools have a very important role to play in shaping our youth and I am happy that through this launch, the vision of the NEP will be translated into action. My heartiest congratulations to the CBSE and British Council teams for working towards this’’.
He further said that the competency-based assessment framework to strengthen India’s existing school education system for secondary level (classes 6-10) and improve the overall learning outcomes of students across India, mainly covering three subjects: English (reading), Science, and Maths. The framework is a part of the CBSE Competency Based Education Project that aims to replace the existing rote learning model with a competency-based framework as directed in the NEP 2020 over the next 2-3 years, he added. The Minister highlighted that the Framework is aligned with the NEP vision of achieving global standard in assessments.
CBSE Chairperson Shri Manoj Ahuja, said, “The New National Education policy 2020 envisages a significant shift in the education ecosystem in India. It aims at preparing students for the 21st century and lays emphasis on competency-based education rather than an education which tests rote learning.
Barbara Wickham OBE, Director India, British Council, said “Education and research collaboration is central to the India-UK relationship. We are honoured to be a part of this ground breaking initiative led by the CBSE. The reformed assessment framework will support high quality teaching for both an improved learning experience and outcomes for all students in CBSE schools. Our extensive work with government agencies in India over the past few decades and our links across the whole UK education network, meant we were able to propose a framework that will not only bring international assessment standards to Indian schools, but accompany it with an implementation roadmap tailored for India. We are committed to working closely with the CBSE and Indian school system stakeholders in the last mile delivery of the project.”
The framework is the basis for a larger project exercise currently underway where 40 Assessment Designers, 180 Test Item writers and 360 Master Trainer Mentors are being trained in using this framework to create Model Question bank and collection of Ideal Lesson Plans. In the first phase selected Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas, UT Chandigarh and private schools across the country will participate in the programme which will be rolled out to all 25,000 CBSE schools in India by 2024.
The suggested Assessment framework has been put in place to drive improvement in quality of teaching and implementation of cha

19. What should I look for in the best International school Jaipur? Tuesday February 16 2021 : What should I look for in the best International school Jaipur?Kids are very fond of school. School is the place where they explore, grow and learn. In other words, schools nurture kids holistically.
Now parents have become much cautious while choosing a school for their ward. Jaipur is the rising city of having an International school. So many national and International schools, colleges and universities are very effectively running in Jaipur city.
Why does education in an International school become Imperative?
Education via International school is rapidly growing and has become a priority of most parents.
They want their children to get adequate International learning space so that they don't have to bother in the future for coping up to International scenarios and will count as the most significant advantage in leading a successful career.
Now it has become imperative to educate children through the International curriculum And most the parents look for the best international school for their kids to ace the world.
Now the dilemma for parents is how they select the School best International school for their children. They are supposed to choose an International school in Jaipur that can provide the best International curriculum. So that students can grow in terms of knowledge and Education.
If as parents you glance over the characteristics of an International school that I am enlisting here, then it will become much easier for you to opt for the best International school Jaipur.
Here are the Following
Infrastructure
Huge time of a day children spends in school, therefore, school infrastructure should be embedded with facilities such as organized premise, big and Air conditioner classrooms playgrounds, Digital Library, Computer and MathLab, Smart classrooms, Activities room, Medical room, Restrooms for toddlers, Canteen, Washrooms, Laboratories etc.
. If all these facilities are available on the premise of an International school so the chances to pick up has increased.
Accessible location
Most of the parents enlist selected school location wise. School location should be an accessible and eco-friendly location with a safe and secure environment.
School should have transportation that connects every zone of the city to school. Management of transportation should be well organized and secured. Security of students should be the prime motto of the school.
Curriculum
A school that follows an international curriculum is considered far better than other boards of education because the International curriculum promotes a gl

IIT Kharagpur Technological Innovation will go on Impacting Lives in Rural India Comments Education Minister Wednesday October 21 2020 : The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has successfully validated ‘COVIRAP,’ the diagnostic machine evolved by the IIT Kharagpur researchers, for its efficacy in COVID-19 detection. Various commercial units have already approached the Institute for technology licensing to enable a rapid reach of this innovation to the common people across the State. After rigorous testing with the patient samples by an authorized ICMR laboratory, adhering to their strict guidelines, ICMR has now provided green signal to certification for this COVID-19 Diagnostic Test. This test has been designed to be fairly easy to conduct and it is quite affordable as well which may produce results in a custom-developed mobile phone application within an hour. Addressing a Virtual Press Conference today to announce this major development in the nation’s fight against COVID-19, the Union Minister of Education Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank said, “I am glad the researchers from IIT Kharagpur have achieved the goal of Atmanirbhar Bharat through this medical technology innovation. This would go on impacting the lives of many in rural India as the device is portable and can be operated on a very low energy supply. Minimally trained rural youth can operate this device.” The minister added that the innovation has made “high-quality and accurate COVID testing affordable for the common people with a testing cost of around ₹ 500/- which can further be reduced through government intervention.” He said, “As informed by IIT Kharagpur, this machine can be developed at a cost of less than ₹ 10,000/- with minimal infrastructural requirement making the technology affordable to common people. The testing process in this new machine is completed within an hour.” Dr Pokhriyal congratulated Prof. V.K. Tewari, Director, IIT Kharagpur and the research team led by Prof. Suman Chakraborty and Dr. Arindam Mondal for this path-breaking innovation taking molecular diagnostics from high-end labs to the field.

26. PML SD Business School makes entire admission process online Wednesday June 17 2020 : Education systems around the world have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Governments have temporarily closed schools and colleges, thus affecting over 60% of the student population. In India, too, the step is expected to have short-term consequences on student life as well as far-reaching economic and societal consequences.
The present scenario has created both fear and confusion in the minds of the students regarding their future. They are concerned about their examinations and promotions to the next year. Students who have secured jobs through campus placements are afraid of withdrawal of job offers from corporates. Universities may also have to deal with a drop in the number of admissions as well as fee along with issues related to classroom teaching, projects and internships.
Various educational institutes are trying to adapt to the extraordinary circumstances. The newly launched ambitious endeavour by GGDSD College Society, Chandigarh -PML SD Business School-has braved the storm by innovating during these tough times. The School, which is AICTE approved, offers a two-year Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) with specializations such as Finance, Marketing, Human Resources and Operations and Total Quality Management.

The Society runs the prestigious GGDSD College, Chandigarh, which has been ranked among the top 100 colleges in the country by the NIRF, HRD Ministry, and granted an A+ grade by the UGC.
Upkar Krishan Sharma, president, GGDSD College Society, says, “For four and a half decades, GGDSD College Society has been offering value-based education to all sections of the society. We totally understand the anxieties of the students. In order to avoid any delay in the future plans of students, all admission-related procedures for the PGDM program have been completely made online. Applications are being accepted online and personal interviews of aspirants are also being conducted online.”
The school faculty is working from home to prepare for the new session. Director Dr. Dhingra, says, “We, at PML SD Business School, are contemplating starting online classes in case class-room teaching is not possible at the beginning of the session.

31. About Sainik School Saturday July 10 2021 : Sainik School
The Sainik Schools are a system of schools in India established and managed by the Sainik Schools Society under Ministry of Defence (MoD). They were conceived in 1961 by V. K. Krishna Menon, the then Defence Minister of India, to rectify the regional and class imbalance amongst the Officer cadre of the Indian Military, and to prepare students mentally and physically for entry into the National Defence Academy (NDA) and Indian Naval Academy (INA). Sainik Schools, along with 1 RIMC and 5 RMS (Rashtriya Military Schools), contribute 25% to 30% officer cadets to NDA and INA. As of 2022, there were 33 Sainik Schools, and MoD will establish 100 more boarding Sainik Schools in public–private partnership (PPP) mode.
MoD run Sainik Schools as joint venture with the respective state governments. MoD provides annual funding, and serving officers in the key roles such as Principal. State governments provide the land, infrastructure, and other teaching and administrative employees.
Sainik Schools follow the "CBSE Plus" by using CBSE curriculum while additionally aiming to prepare children for entry into NDA and INA. Admission to Sainik Schools is granted from 6th class. The reservation policy caters for SC/ST, domicile of the respective states and the wards of Armed Forces employees and ex-servicemen.
The inspiration for setting up the Sainik Schools came from the Royal Indian Military College (RIMC) and Royal Indian Military Schools (now called Rashtriya Military School or RMS) which have given India many service chiefs. 1 RIMC and 5 RMS were established by the government after the World War I to Indianise the British Colonial Military in India by providing western style education with the aim to prepare the potential pool of future military officers. RIMC was established in 1922. Five RMS were established, namely Chail Military School in 1922, Ajmer Military School in 1930, Belgaum Military School in 1945, Bangalore Military School in 1946 and Dholpur Military School in 1962. First Sainik School came up in 1961. Additionally, there are several private military schools, Maharashtra has highest number of those.Oldest private military school is Bhonsala Military School, which was established in 1937.
Although Sainik School, Lucknow, established in 1960 was the first Sainik School, is not under the Sainik School Society, but rather under Uttar Pradesh Sainik Schools Society, which is registered under the Indian Societies Registration Act (1860).
In 2008, in his Union Budget the Finance minister, P Chidambaram, allocated ₹2 crore to each of the 25 Sainik schools, to counter rising attrition in the defence forces, especially at the officer level.
Sainik schools are ordinary citizen's public school where deserving students get high quality education irrespective of their inco
32. Why Learning Arabic Without Preschool Nursery Rhymes Is Unimaginable? Thursday October 10 2019 :
Preschool Nursery Rhymes
Recall the days when you started learning. What is the first thing that came into your mind? Rhymes, rhymes, and just rhymes, right? To every kid who is beginning his journey in learning is taught rhymes first. But why are rhymes so important? Why learning without preschool nursery rhymes is unimaginable?
Here you will find out various aspects of learning through rhymes that will give you an answer to this question.
The first step towards reading
Preschool nursery rhymes are the first step of a kid towards reading. Children love to repeat what they can understand easily. Preschool nursery rhymes have rhythm in them, which makes them easy to recite and repeat. Before the child starts to read formally, he is always taught how to sing those rhymes well. In their subconscious mind itself, the children begin to learn different words and start developing a grip on whatever they are reading. In the context of learning Arabic, rhymes can be helpful. Preschool nursery rhymes provide an initial boost to the kids. Olive Tree study is a weekend Islamic school that emphasizes learning through Preschool Nursery Rhymes.
Enhanced Vocabulary
The best part about preschool nursery rhymes is that the children develop a sound and vast vocabulary at a very young age. The most difficult words that are otherwise hard to pronounce and remember preschool nursery rhymes make it easy to understand and recall. This is for sure that if a kid recites one verse a day; he will surely remember a few of its words. Hence, preschool nursery rhymes can be very beneficial in enhancing the vocabulary of the kids.
Better Learning
To have better knowledge, it is crucial to clear all the concepts. It is essential not just to mug up things but also imbibe these values in the real world. Preschool Nursery Rhymes are the best way to do so. By learning through preschool nursery rhymes, children will start to learn difficult languages such as Arabic with emotions. They will follow the values of the Quran in real life. This will not just make them learn new things every day, but also become a better human.
Helps To Think Outside the Box
In today’s world, the most important factor a person can have is creativity. Preschool nursery rhymes motivate a kid to imagine through themselves whatever they recite. Developing an imagining skill at such a tender age is a must build value. In the later stages of life, they will be very creative. Olive Tree Study promotes children to use their imagination while learning. There are professional teachers to give them ideas and support their growth. In addition to this, rhy
34. A National Webinar in Alternative Models of Education under ShikshaParv Thursday September 24 2020 : The National Webinar to discuss the implications of the National Education Policy for developing Alternative Models of Education in the country was held on 22 September 2020. The webinar was hosted by the National Institute of Open Schooling. Eminent educationists Prof. N K Ambasht, Former Chairman, NIOS and Prof. GirishwarMisra, Former VC, Mahatma Gandhi Hindi AntarrashtriyaVishwavidyalaya, Wardha were the panelists of the webinar. The webinar was moderated by NIOS, Chairman,Prof.ShridharSrivastavaand Director (Academic), NIOSDr Rajiv Kumar Singh.
Prof. Srivastava expressed concern on the issue of school drop outs as children and youth are being deprived of the fundamental right to education due to issues of access, poor quality and high cost of education. The formal system of schooling is not apt to provide suitable responses to these challenges, while through its inherent flexibility, open schooling caters to a range of learner needs. While the country has struggled to build schools and train teachers, both of which are necessary to achieve universal primary education, the limited primary infrastructures and inadequate economic resources and lack of quality teaching learning mechanisms to provide a quality secondary schooling are serious challenges that are being faced by policy makers. Therefore, there is a basic necessity of serious thinking and strategic planning to develop a mechanism for appropriate, economic and effective alternative systems of education to face the challenge of education at school level.
Prof. Srivastava outlined that the objectives of the webinar were to-
discuss the provisions for alternative models of education in the NEP;
explore alternative schooling models in India;
suggest alternative pathways to formal education system;
promote awareness and acceptance of alternative schooling models; and to
mobilize existing resources in an effective manner.
Prof. Srivastava also mentioned that NIOS has taken the lead in empowering out-of-school children (OOSC) across the country, assisting millions of learners in completing their education in its three decades of its existence. He mentioned that some alumni of NIOS would also share their experiences of studying in NIOS.
Prof. Ambasht elaborated on the need for outcome based education today as he spoke of his experience of working with street children in Delhi earlier. He emphasized that children need ample opportunity to study at their own pace and could have better outcomes with experiential learning. Prof. Ambashtmentioned the need to understand the difference between curriculum and syllabus and that learning is long lasting when it is child centric and local centric. He also shared his concern for developing a system of evaluation that is diagnostic rather than declarative of pass or fail. Out of this was born the On-demand exam system of NIOS. He further discussed the role of teacher- as a Facilitator allowing construction of knowledge; He also discussed peer group study; online discus
