Quality of education suffering due to privatization: RSS

Quality of education is also suffering due to privatisation. Therefore, combined efforts of the society and governments are needed to ensur quality education for all," Vaidya said at a press briefing ahead of the annual meet, according to PTI...

    The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) will pass three resolutions on health, education and untouchability at the annual meeting of the Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), the highest decision making body of the outfit, beginning here today i.e. March 11. 

Manmohan Vaidya, All India Prachar Pramukh of RSS said that education needs the attention of both society and the government as it has become costlier and privatization has adversely affected the quality of education. "Three resolutions will be passed in the three-day ABPS annual meeting beginning tomorrow. The first resolution will be on education sector which needs the attention of both society and the government. "Education today has become costlier. 

Quality of education is also suffering due to privatisation. Therefore, combined efforts of the society and governments are needed to ensure quality education for all," Vaidya said at a press briefing ahead of the annual meet, according to PTI. The second resolution will be on medical facilities as despite various innovations, the facility was not easily available to everyone and hence governments will have to think about it, said Vaidya. 
 The social evil of untouchability will be dealt with in the third resolution. "Caste-based discrimination present in our country should be abolished. There should be harmony in our social conduct. Our third resolution will highlight this social evil and will call upon people to play a constructive role in curbing it," he said. The RSS representatives from all over the country will participate in the meeting, which will also be attended by BJP Chief Amit Shah.

Female sarpanch picks up lathi, leads women to curb cheating in schools

With the wave of Board exam cheating reports coursing through the state of Haryana, the police and the Board for School Education, Haryana (BSEH) have been more or less helpless to stop it. 

However, Bhiwani district's sarpanch Sunita, hailing from Dhanana village, has picked up the lathi to help stop this menace. Sunita stood outside the village school along with other women bearing lathis in order to check cheating in the examination centre.
 "Students may pass the exams by cheating, but they would not be able to make a career in future. They may remain unemployed in future if they cheat now and I don't want the children of my village to be unemployed," said the sarpanch, according to an HT report. Sunita's move was supported by other women in the village, who came forward to assist her in curbing the practice of cheating in the examinations.
 Nihal Singh, the school principal, hailed the "brilliant initiative" taken by the women and said, "It's only because of them that the cheating cases in our school have completely vanished." Bahadur Singh, a member of the flying commission employed to root out cheating practices, gave a nod to Sunita's move and said that if other women of Haryana also came forward to stop the unfair means used in examinations, the cheating practice could soon be rooted out from schools.
 Sarpanch Sunita has also been conducting a weekly cleanliness campaign in her village every Sunday, with the involvement of local residents, for which she was appreciated by the administration earlier.
