School mergers are key to creating optimal-sized schools. (Representational image) While decades of interventions in school education, including those of a remarkable scale like the Mid-Day Meal Scheme and Right to Education, have ensured success in boosting schooling for all, the country is facing a severe crisis. Learning poverty is widespread in India where over half the children at age 10, lack proficiency in reading. Ergo, in 2020, we are still grappling with one of the most pressing questions – how do we ensure that schooling equals learning? The first step to finding an answer is to diagnose the problem. Sub-optimal schools, segregated systems and several inter-related challenges serve as stumbling blocks, hindering learning. Even though India takes pride in housing one of the largest educational footprints with 15 lakh schools, a granular diagnostic throws out some appalling statistics. One in three schools have less than 50 students enrolled, defying the fundamental rationale of economies of scale. The pupil-teacher ratio exceeds 40 in 15 per cent of India’s schools. Further, about a lakh schools have only one teacher. On the ground, these startling statistics are reflected in rampant multi-grade, multi-level teaching – a single teacher could be teaching children from grade 1 till 8 at the same time. In sum, students are not learning, teachers are not adequately distributed, schools are too small, and systems are typically not accountable to outcomes. These challe...

BHOPAL: This was third day when the farmers from four organizations- Ram Inaniyan, one of the committee members of the SKM said," Now we have been getting support from different distant villages of the district. It is not possible for every farmer to reach out here and sit on dharna." We want the government to withdraw the three controversial laws”, he said. He said, "On Wednesday, we organized a yagna and observed fast for sadbudhi to the minister. Now Thursday the minister is doing the same.” Kamal Patel observed a five hour long fast from 2 pm onwards in the afternoon in Nemawar near Narmada river. He said that , "I prayed to the sacred river of Maa Narmada and may the goddess grant sadbudhi to the opposition misleading the farmers." The minister was accompanied by a large number of party workers as he sat on "upwas" for five hours. He reiterated that all the farmers were with the BJP government and PM Modi has revolutionized agriculture by three new laws. He said that,”the Congress was misleading the farmers and fueling their agitation”. On the other hand, the Congress also staged a demonstration as the party leaders prayed for the minister’s wisdom. Barely 200 meters away from the place where Patel was holding dharna, former Congress MLA RK Dogna led the party workers and observed a fast.

लोकतंत्र एक ऐसी शासन प्रणाली है, जिसमे जनता सर्वोच्च हैं. यहाँ जनता के बीच से ही, जनता के द्वारा चुने गए लोगो के हाथों में शासन व्यवस्था के सुचारू रूप से क्रियान्वयन की जिम्मेदारी होती हैं, लेकिन जब इन चुने हुए लोगो के द्वारा अपने कर्तव्यों का निर्वहन ठीक से नही होता, तो एक जनाक्रोश जन्म लेता हैं. इस जनाक्रोश का एकत्रित होकर अपना विरोध प्रदर्शन करना “जन-आंदोलन” कहलाता हैं. जन आंदोलन एक सामूहिक संघर्ष हैं, जो एक उद्देश्य की प्राप्ति से प्रेरित होता हैं. एक मजबूत लोकतंत्र के निर्माण में जन आंदोलनों की महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका होती हैं. सामाजिक, नागरिक या व्यक्तिगत स्तर पर कोई विशेष प्रकार का सिद्धान्त एवं व्यवहार का पालन ही राजनीति (पॉलिटिक्स) कहलाती है. इस हिसाब से देखे तो जन आंदोलन की राजनीति एक स्वस्थ प्रथा है, समाज, शासन में परिवर्तन लाने का. जन आंदोलनों में निहित शक्ति बड़े से बड़े शासन व्यवस्था को हिलाने का समर्थ रखती हैं. यदि हम आजादी की लड़ाई की तरफ देखे तो प्रथम स्वतंत्रता संग्राम एक जन आंदोलन का ही रूप था, लेकिन एक स्पष्ट नीति , योग्य नेता का अभाव, इस आंदोलन के असफलता का प्रमुख कारण बना. तत्पश्चात गांधी जी के जन आंदोलनों से सबसे बड़ा प्रभाव यह देखने को मिला कि देश के हर नागरिक के अंदर यह भावना जन्म ले चुकी थी कि वो भी देश की आजादी की लड़ाई का हिस्सा हैं, और खुद को एक महत्वपूर्ण घटक मानने लगा. इसका असर यह हुआ ही आजादी की लड़ाई में केंद्रीय भूमिका में जनता आ गई. इस आपार जन शक्ति के कारण ही आंदोलनों के भी कई स्वरूप होते हैं.जिसमे कुछ आंदोलनों में समाज सुधार की भावना निहित होती हैं. 1970 के दशक में हुआ JP आंदोलन सामूहिक जन चेतना की शक्ति का स्पष्ट उदाहरण हैं. देश की जनता जब भ्रष्टा...

In News The Prime Minister will launch Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) in the presence of U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres at the Statue of Unity at Ekta Nagar in Kevadia. Need • Environmental degradation and climate change are global phenomena where actions in one part of the world impact ecosystems and populations across the globe. • Over the last two decades, several macro measures have been implemented globally to address environmental degradation and climate change, including policy reforms, economic incentives and regulations. • Despite their enormous potential, actions required at the level of individuals, communities and institutions have received limited attention. • Changing individual and community behaviour alone can make a significant dent in the environmental and climate crises. • According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), if one billion people out of the global population of eight billion adopt environment-friendly behaviours in their daily lives, global carbon emissions could drop by approximately 20 per cent. What is LiFE? • At the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP26), Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi announced Mission LiFE, to bring individual behaviours at the forefront of the global climate action narrative. • LiFE envisions replacing the prevalent 'use-and-dispose' economy—governed by mindless and destructive consumption—with a circular economy , which would be defined by mindful and deli...
