n today’s scenario where India stands on the verge of being a super power; apotential nation with immense manpower and enormous thrust to steer the worldas a power house, it is necessary that we clearly demarcate the challenges that

we are facing in the boundless growth of the nation as a whole .There are seriouschallenges to the economic sustenance and economic viability of the country. Thebiggest challenge we face today is the hindrance in the path of free and equaleducation to all; a problem that has been deeply threaded inside the social fabric ofthe country. We have been ruled for years by different rulers and kingdoms, eachhaving their own ethnicity and their own system of education, thus making presentday India a vibgyor of various pattern of education. The biggest flaw in the educationsystem is the system itself which is maimed by the various dependencies oninnumerable factors like the government infrastructure, quality of education, mediumof education, last mile connectivity of schools and colleges; especially in the ruraland remote areas where it is still a hard bread to earn and lastly the mis-managementon part of the government authorities to ensure quality and benign system ofeducation today in the country.

There needs to be a proper coordination between the government authorities,(those who decide the framework, affiliations , accreditations and other recognitionsfor securing the ability to provide educational degrees and diplomas.) universitiesand colleges running throughout the country , media ;which is responsible forbringing out the wrong and lacunas in the education sector , and ultimately thefamilies throughout the country who want to ensure that their child gets the best ofeducation. These are the four significant pillars on which the whole education systemor the future of India is dependent on. We cannot have a properly running educationsystem unless and until all these four pillars strive in with sheer determination andout of the box approach to bring out the best they can do in the limited availableresources for the improvement and optimization of the education prototype of India.

“Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.” ― Martin LutherKing Jr.

So the aim is to have a collective responsibility of the government, universities,families and media in order to ensure that the illiterate gets the education in it fullform and with the best tools and facilities that can be provided. Government has toensure that they provide latest equipment’s and audio-visual aids that are availableand can be utilized to maximum capabilities in the schools and colleges at large. Alsoit is a herculean responsibility on the part of government to ensure that all theuniversities and colleges which are recognized by it, are working according to theguidelines laid by the university and are strictly complying to the framework andfidelity vested upon them to provide degrees and various formats of educationthroughout the country. Unfortunately, it is not the case and the universities can beseen violating these norms laid by the government authorities namely, UGC andAICTE and IGNOU, for distance education.

Thus the ultimate fruit of education lies in the future of an educated country.Developed nations like the European nations and the Americas have attained about100 % literacy and are utmost reluctant to allow any margin of error in their educationsystem and still keep an hard eye to the latest developments and researches in thefield of education. After all, learning is a treasure that will follow its ownereverywhere.

he Distance Education Council (DEC) of the IndiraGandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is now athing of the past. The Human Resource Development

Ministry in an unusually rapid decision, bestowed upon UGCall responsibilities of the Open and Distance Learning (ODL)education.

No rhyme or reason can justify this sudden revolutionarychange that will directly affect those who were pursuing, orwere planning to pursue any course in distant learning mode.“The manner in which the laws framed by the Parliamenthave been substituted by a bureaucratic process, to evade andavoid meaning discussions, calls for a debate on theprocedure followed by the government to undo the laws,’’M.M. Ansari, member of the UGC and a former Director ofDEC-IGNOU, has said.

The HRD Ministry dissolved the DEC on therecommendations of the Madhav Menon Committee to“Suggest Measures to Regulate the Standards of EducationBeing Imparted through Distance Mode.” UGC has been

declared as the whole soul responsible authority forundertaking the proceedings of all the presently runningdistance learning courses until a separate body with theadequate framework and the strictly maneuvered guidelinesis formed which will undertake and replace DEC.

No new center shall be opened with immediate effect, adecision which is considered by critics as utterlyirresponsible and immature on the part of MHRD.In anotification issued by the UGC, All universities have beenasked to ensure that no further affiliations or approvals aregranted to any new center for ODL programs/courses untilsuch regulations are resumed or a single point of contact isresurrected.

A point worth noticing here is that the power to regulateODL system had been entrusted to the IGNOU by Parliament,and that, MHRD was advised that the proper functioning ofthe colleges that were operating under the aegis of ODL wereill-managed and proper guidelines were not followed on thegrass root level.

NEW DELHI: Brushing aside the Prime Minister's advice,HRD Minister Pallam Raju on Friday decided to resign from theCabinet opposing the decision to split Andhra Pradesh.

"Yesterday, I met the Prime Minister and offered to resign.He told me not to take a hasty decision. I have thought over itlast night. I have decided that I should resign from the UnionCouncil of Ministers," he told reporters.

He said he has sought an appointment with Prime MinisterManmohan Singh.

Raju, who hails from Seemandhra region, has been stronglyopposed to the division of Andhra Pradesh and has been criticalof the way the government was going about on the issue.

Meanwhile, there were reports that two ministers of state, DPurandeshwari and Killi Kriparani, have also offered to resignbut there was no confirmation.

On Thursday night, tourism minister Chiranjeevi and textilesminister KS Rao had also offered their resignation.

Pallam Raju Resigned from Ministry

Future of DEC Approved Institutes : Biggest Orphanageof Education

MHRD stated that this was a step ought to be taken , butwhat about the future of those students that were under thecare and guidance of such courses , there may be somecolleges which were selling degrees , which werecontaminating the formats and guidelines set up by IGNOU,but does that mean to eradicate the whole system. When someleaves of tree decay, a particular branch is cut to save theothers from decaying, but it will be a blunder if the wholetree is uprooted as such to prevent the oblivion. Where willthey go who, who will consider their degrees as valid beforeoffering them employment. They are now like orphan childwho lost his parents suddenly, with no one to care and lookafter and to show the correct path to lead.

Students do not have any single point of contact or any

organization as such whom they can contact and complaint;they will not be even intimated about further details andproceedings in this matter because all the study centers thatwere set up by universities locally and in remote areas areordered to be withdrawn immediately .This is more seriousthan it appears.

iConnect advice students not to panic, and wait for thedecisions about to surface out regarding this, Probably a newtransformed body with a tighter grip may be set up to have atight hold on all ODL mode institutes , even at the universitylevel .Also , as far as possible discourage all rumors and notto spread and raw-ear news pricked from loose talks on this, we at iConnect are closely following up with MHRD andare in sync with the up close and with tandem with IGNOUand UGC personnel for committee dates and dealings.

hese are the words of the person most debated upon in thecountry. He is everywhere, in social media covering halfof your feeds with Modi updates, in press releases every

His movements are beingrecorded, his steps are followed, he has become amindset, a personality, and the youth feels proud tofollow his every step and guidelines he sethenceforth.

Narendra Damodardas Modi, popularlyknown as Narendra Modi or NaMo amongst hissupporters is present day Chief minister ofGujarat and the official prime minister candidatefor BJP in 2014 elections. He is nowadays themost heard of, and the most talked aboutpolitician. So what are the reasons that madehim rise high exponentially,what was his X-factor,the charisma thatmade him

achieve boundless popularity and country wise support?The reasons are varied and the conditions are favorable for

him, so let’s discuss about the oxygen that allowed Modi tobreathe in and sustain the desire for the premier position of thecountry.

MODI A TRuE MARksMANThe biggest plus point which Modi has is Modi himself, the

image he carry , and his affiliations which make him a HINDUnationalist , backed up and highly supported by RSS whomModi has served religiously for last 25 years . VHP the extremistHindu wing supports Modi whole heartedly.

“Modi is a vegetarian. He is known for leading a frugallifestyle and has a personal staff of three. He is known to be aworkaholic and an introvert. He also writes poems inGujarati.[140] He is a crowd-puller as a speaker. He wears"business suits to business meetings, instead of homespuntunics. He still lampoons the urban, English-speaking elite, buthe is also honing his English skills." Modi has been labeled bythe media and some articles in peer reviewed journals as acontroversial, polarizing, and divisive figure.

In September 2013, Nielsen and The Economic Timespublished results of a poll of 100 Indian corporate leaders - 74of them wanted Modi to be the next prime-minister; comparedto 7 whose preference was Rahul Gandhi. British economist JimO'Neill, author of the BRIC report, wrote on his blog that Modiis "good on economics", one of the things that "India desperatelyneeds in a leader”. In August 2013, financial analyst ChrisWood, chief strategist of CLSA, wrote in his weekly Greed &Fear that "the Indian stock market's greatest hope is theemergence of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as theBJP's prime ministerial candidate" .. Courtesy WIKIPEDIA.

CRITICs DEFINE HIM BY 2002!Actions and decisions that Modi took in 2002 Ghodhra riots

are still the biggest controversy and negative for Modi, a stainwhich has held him for so many years and also discouragedglobally.

But a big sigh of relief came when the bench of SIT,maneuvered by the honorable Supreme Court of India, clearedhim of all the allegations and found his action to be satisfactoryand required. “People have a right to be critical. We are ademocratic country. Everyone has their own view. I would feelguilty if I did something wrong. Frustration comes when youthink “I got caught. I was stealing and I got caught. That’s notmy case” Answered the man, who was asked the same questionmore than a thousand times by all the lobbyists and mediapersonnel for his disputed actions as the Chief Minister ofGujarat in 2002.”

A BusINEss TYCOONWhen Mamta Banerjee denied the TATAS to have a Nano

plant in Singur District, West Bengal, Modi‘s governmentimmediately opened their doors for setting up an industrial unitand assembly line for Nano in Gujarat . A step that boostedmanifolds the interest and confidence of many business magnetsand entrepreneur’s as an essential and responsible step towardsstabilizing the country‘s economic viability and also attractedpeople from all over the country to invest and flourish theirbusiness plans in Gujarat . The activities he introduced like thesingle window clearance for the new businesses, tax free andinterest free loans for small scale and cottage industries, furtherboosted the commerce of the state and infested a confidence in

the local farmers and craftsmen to work and get what theyrightly deserve.

Modi has always been synonymous with Business, and hismuch popularized Vibrant Gujarat Global Investor’s summit abiennial summit organized by Gujarat state government in Indiato attract foreign investment for development of Gujarat andmutual sustainable and economically beneficial programs. Basedon the theme–Gujarat Going Global and aimed at bringingtogether business leaders, investors, corporations, thoughtleaders, policy and opinion makers; the summit served as aperfect platform to understand and explore businessopportunities with the State of Gujarat.

A MATuRE POLITICIANThe techniques and strategies that Modi deploy for his

promulgation of ideas, viewpoints and critical comments areconsidered by the critics as the most advanced and up to date.Modi believes and encourages the use of social media and thetransparency of this platform to reach out the youth, who is alsotech-savvy and the biggest users and audience of social mediaplatforms, he often conducts online sessions to meet and reachout people in his various districts. Modi Implements and utilizestechnology, invariably as the most significant tool in reachingout the public at large. His lectures and views on Politics andmanagement are even considered and given a thought in IIM’sand other reputed institutes like Harvard and London School ofbusiness.

A majority of Indianworkforce does notpossess marketableskills which is animpediment in gettingdecent employment and improving theireconomic condition.While India has largeyoung population, only5% of the Indian labourforce in the age group of20-24 years has obtainedvocational skills throughformal means whereasthe percentage inindustrialized countries varies between 60% and 96%.

y 2022, over 700 million Indians of working age will beseeking to earn a livelihood. Of these, only 200 millionwould be graduates. The rest will be left with a question

mark over their education qualifications and skills.The Advantage for India is that as compared to western

economies where there is a burden of an ageing population, Indiahas a unique 20–25 years window of opportunity called the“demographic dividend.” This “demographic dividend” meansthat as compared to other large developing and developedcountries, India has a higher proportion of working agepopulation vis-à-vis its entire population.” The result is lowdependency ratio, which can provide a comparative costadvantage and competitiveness to the economy India has theworld’s youngest work force with a median age way below thatof China and OECD countries. Half the population of India wasyounger than 25 in 2010. It will change to half the populationbeing under 28 in 2030, making India a very young country forthe next 20 years

“The rapid growth of the Indian economy since 2004 hasclearly brought out the shortcomings of our skills developmentprocesses,” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told a labourconference in February 2012. “Today, availability of skills ispossibly the single most important constraint to rapid industrialgrowth,” he had said. And, in any case, skills are a necessarycondition for improving incomes and being fit for a job. Theydon’t create jobs by themselves.

Skills is the ability that one possesses, it is the learned abilityto carry out pre-determined results often with the minimumoutlay of time, energy, or both. Skill building can be viewed asan instrument to improve the effectiveness and contribution oflabor to the overall production. It is an important ingredient topush the production possibility frontier outward and to takegrowth rate of the economy to a higher trajectory. Skill building

could also be seen as an instrument to empower the individualand improve his/her social acceptance or value.

A majority of Indian workforce does not possess marketableskills which is an impediment in getting decent employment andimproving their economic condition. While India has large youngpopulation, only 5% of the Indian labour force in the age groupof 20-24 years has obtained vocational skills through formalmeans whereas the percentage in industrialized countries variesbetween 60% and 96%. About 63% of the school students dropout at different stages before reaching Class-X. Only about 2.5million vocational training seats are available in the countrywhereas about 12.8 million persons enter the labour market everyyear. Accordingly, Ministry of Labour & Employment hasundertaken development of a new strategic framework for skilldevelopment for early school leavers and existing workers,especially in the unorganised sector in close consultation withindustry, micro enterprises in the unorganised sector, StateGovernments, experts and academia which is essentialconsidering their educational, social and economic background.

The major objective of the scheme is to provide vocationaltraining to school leavers, existing workers, ITI graduates, etc.to improve their employability by optimally utilizing theinfrastructure available in Govt., private institutions and theIndustry. Existing skills of the persons can also be tested andcertified under this scheme.

In this scenario, First EduIndia Ltd. has taken the initiativeand is into setting up of technical, management, educationalinstitutes, VTP’s etc and provides support to people for settingup such institutes under the government schemes.

here have been several high profile cases earlier, but noneof them like the much-hyped affair of Meghalaya-basedCMJ University, which was exposed by RS Mooshahary,

the governor of state, with many anomalies and inconsistenciesin its operations and mal-administration in award of degrees. Afterthe state high court had orderedthe state government to dissolvethe university, a fresh petition was filed in Supreme Court byChandra Mohan Jha, the self-appointed chancellor of theuniversity, challenging the high court decision. The decision,however, was upheld by the Supreme Court directing thegovernment to follow orders of the state governor to dissolve CMJUniversity within 3 months’ time.

The direction of governor, issued on June 12, regarding thedissolution of the university as per section 48 of the CMJUniversity Act, 2009 had been referred by the apex court.

Section 48 of the CMJ University Act says if any kind ofmismanagement & mal-administration is identified in operations,then state government would issue directions for rectification tothe university. If the directions are not followed, the stategovernment can take steps to wind up the university.

Mooshahary had stated that from the established facts, it isproven that there are inconsistencies, mismanagement, mal-administration, indiscipline and failure in the accomplishment ofthe norms of the university and objectives of it, apart from thecriminal liability. Mooshahary, had also been the visitor of CMJ

University.Dissolution of CMJ University had been sought by the

governor in the interest of maintaining proper standards of highereducation in Meghalaya state.

In the face of this Supreme Court decision, the top regulatoryauthority UGC has constituted a 9 member committee to inspectthe CMJ University. Meanwhile, the recommendation made bythe state governor for the closure of the university, has beenaccepted by the State Board for Higher Education.

About the future of students and validity of degrees awardedby Chandra Mohan Jha University, it seems as if the governmentis keeping a blind eye. Students, who have invested years of timeand have suffered all the tensions and pressures of exams, arehoping for things to turn their way, as it will help them shape theirfuture. There is no fault on the part of those students, who tookan admission into the courses of a university which was validonce, according to the standards and norms of University GrantCommission (UGC). The authenticity of certificate, degrees orpapers must be checked, and after verification they must standvalid. The state government must understand that invalidation ofdegrees will have an impact on many thousand students. Accordingto our sources, the UGC committee will be meeting shortly todecide on the future of students, validity of degrees and about thestandards to be followed. Students are too worried about the futurecourse of action, while there is no clarification yet.

s an immediate stimulus to the news that appeared in theaugust issue of iConnect, Periyar University, agreed todispatch the awaited degrees of students in its various

courses in arts, science and commerce. The decision came wheniConnect surfaced the matter and followed it with variousdifferent higher officials and dignitaries of the university, andwhen the news was published in the magazine. The situation waseven worse for last two years as the students were facing seriousproblems with the enormous delay in declaration of result forits various programs, directly affecting the careers and furtherstudies of the students.

iConnect followed the university, and also brought about heviews and problems of the students to the limelight , makinguniversity bound to take a decision based on available facts , andtake some stringent actions against those who were responsiblefor the delay in results and degrees and ensure that the situationis normalized at the earliest. University has committed to lookout for the cause and culprit identification in this case and willalso determine steps to avoid any such situation in future.

There has been innumerable no. of cases in which the peoplefrom different parts of the country have reported variousproblems related to the mark sheet that were blocked by theuniversity and the students have faced real problems in obtainingthe same.

Some of the cases are collected from various forums andquoted below:1. “I am working in Chennai, I requested for duplicate mark

lists because unfortunately 4 of my mark sheets were littlebit burned on a gas leakage, I shown the mark lists with smalldamages but they doesn't give me back the mark lists insteadof that they are demanding 1000 rupees DD for each marksheet, I asked why 1000 rupees each when I am having allthe mark lists with small damage? the lady staff said theywill process my request after receipt of money only, and theynever give back my mark lists, it’s like a little bitgambling...”….

BY MR. BALAsANTHAM.2. “Not Receiving Provisional & Convocation

Dear sir/MamI have passed my MBA-HRM in Periyar University in the

year 2011 (Through Genious Educational Trust, Trichy). I havereceived my marks sheet but still didn't receive my provisional& Convocation certificate still. Many times I have approachedthrough the study centre and on phone but didn't receive anyproper answer. Last month I have gone to study centre but evenfor that I didn’t get any positive answer. My enrolment numberis 7PBA1203002. Without provisional certificate couldn't enter

my employment office .I have got lot of mental stress due to thisproblem. Please take immediate action to provide meProvisional certificate immediately without any further delay.

On 10.04.2013 I have sent one letter to The Controller ofexamination.”

BY MR. GNANAM.CThese were some serious questions that were allegedly put

up on Periyar University and its administration; it seems as ifthere is a “layer” between the upper administration and somepeople who have started this as a business of earning money.

These are some of the examples in which the students havefaced problems and there was no concomitant from the PeriyarUniversity at all. It has also been observed by ourcorrespondents that even the lower subordinates and thehousekeeping staff their have become bookers and they act likeif they have the right to do anything in the university given thatyou provide them handsome amount of money and aids.

So finally students can feel a sigh of relief as they havestarted receiving the degrees after the news was highlighted tothe concerned and wider audience by iConnect. But in case thereare still some students who are facing difficulties in getting theirmark sheets or they have been a victim of any kind ofmisconduct or corruption in any form in Periyar university tosay any university in india can directly contact us and let usknow what the problems they have faced , we ensure you wewill look into the matter immediately and will try to find out thesolution to the problem and will even take it to the most superiorbodies in case he issue is not properly heard or it really affectssomeone’s career etc.

Eventually it is the student who will suffer; based on thesource information of IConnect thousands of students, who werea part of this ostentatious or rather confusing program, now findthemselves in a state of dilemma, all the study centers are oughtto be closed by the university, but who thinks about the future.University, and a reputed one, may end up with a ruined futureof many students if this program is proven orphan, with nogovernment body to take hold of it.

Government is needed to examine these matters and shouldcoordinate with media campaigns like ours to have a hand inhand situation for cleansing these universities and otherinstitutes running throughout the country and running thisbusiness of education without considering the enormous loss ,an irreversible loss of time , money and so many critical yearsthey are creating . A loss for which these students will never beable to explain reasons to their employers, their fate is in thehands of these players who try to run their business from theshops which were supposedly “temple of education”.

n a country like ours where fire casualties’occurrence isquite frequent, every now and then we get news of certainfires, cylinder bursts and building fires etc.; and mostly the

reason is more or less due to some human blunders andinappropriate security measures, inadequate conditions andignorance of people on how to rest in such a situation. In Delhialone the deaths count due to fire cases is in thousands ofnumber.

There is a dire need of proper training and knowledge of firesuppression techniques , each and every one should be awareand well versed in what to do at the eleventh hour and be safeand sound in case of a calamity.

“DIFE is the only institute in North India which impartsorganized Fire & Industrial Safety Training and is affiliated withthe Board of Technical Education, Government of NCT, Delhi.DIFE is being run by the NGO “Defence Officers' Society forFire Prevention and Disaster Management” duly registered withRegistrar of Co-operative Societies under Societies RegistrationAct XXI Of 1986.” as quoted from their official website.

Aims and objectives• Unemployment is an area of major concern for any growing

nation.• The recession has creeped into the Industrial & Business

Sector worldwide disturbing the buoyancy of GlobalEconomy.

• Job opportunities are scaling down globally and its impacthas been felt in India too. However demand still exists in themarket for specialized jobs.

• But the specialised jobs require Vocational Skills. • The demand for skilled force trained for specialized jobs in

industrial sector is almost six times that of trained manpoweravailable.

• We need to create an alternative educational framework inthe society which can address this ‘Skill Gap’ for specializedjobs nationally.

• Delhi Institute of Fire Engineering runs full time, distancelearning and online programmes of different durations todevelop vocational skills in Rural Youth aging between 18to 35 years in the field of Fire Technology & IndustrialSafety Training to bridge the above ‘Skill Gap’.

• Keeping in mind the above requirement, we can developvocational skills of the Indian youth for the specialized jobsrelated to Fire Technology & Industrial Safety with an aimto reduce the existing ‘Vocational Skill Gap’ nationally.

FUTURE CONNECT

he best gift you can bestow upon an individual is to imparthim with best education, enable him to think, write, speakand more over express his views and thoughts. And such

an initiative has been very well implemented by the avviareeducation hub, an institute with a vision, vision of takingresponsibility, responsibility of selflessly providing the educationwith the clear motive of establishing a youth foundation, ratherthan a business firm of producing pseudo degree holders.

When iConnect correspondents enquired, they found thiseducational diaspora as an innovative and a noble effort towards

the promotion and in real meaning implementation of right toeducation. Avviare education hub, though in its initial phase,started in MAY 2013, is really an astounding effort to boost upthe education sector and to invigorate the segment of thosestudents that are not “too bright” or need some extra support tostand up in this cut-throat competition. Now by support theymean financial, institutional, guidance, and in every manner inwhich a student may face a hurdle.

“We believe that the greatest gift we can give to our studentsare ROOTS & WINGS. Roots entrenched in tradition and wings

of independence tohelp them toexplore their selfand beyond. Wemake all efforts toimpart whole somevalue based qualityeducation coupledwith enoughmental & physicalspace for realgrowth.” Asquoted from MR.

Sandeep singh, the man behind this noble effortand the workforce to revitalize the average student.

The institute affiliated to Mahatma GandhiUniversity, provides various bachelors and masterscourses in arts, science, IT and management andalso aims to start-up other technical professionalcourses as the institute hold the grip further. Theinstitute does not charge anything from thestudents who come and enrol with them apart fromthe nominal University examination fees, andprovides facilities like infrastructure, regularclasses, soft skills enhancement, industry orientedworkshops etc. to actually bridge the gap betweenthe education sector and the service industry.

Moreover, the idea is to promulgate education,so students with extremely weak financialbackgrounds, who are even unable to pay theuniversity charges, are welcomed and encouragedto take education without paying anything andthey are treated at par in the institute. The institutesupports and firmly believe in the industry face upand to discover those x factors which companiesactually require in an employee. Emphasis on softskills enhancement, companies’ requirements,maturity of education and overall the “readiness”of an individual to serve in any firm is the motiveand ultimate aim of Avviare.

Albeit, providing resources for development isthe best one can do as a proactive involvement inthis society, and if you do that selflessly, withoutany motive of profit in it is by all powers ofalmighty, eternal. “Emeralds as well as glass willshine when the light is shed on them.”


CAMPUS CONNECT

arnataka State Open University (KSOU)has always remained in the limelight,because some of its various study centers

running programs like B.Tech and M.Tech incorrespondence. It is clearly mentioned by theUGC and former DEC (Distance educationCouncil) form which it had affiliations that notechnical course can run anywhere in India underdistance mode. B.Tech being a technical courseis run by KSOU study centers.

As per the KSOU coordinators they are doingnothing wrong by providing technical degreecourses under the distance mode and that theydon’t require any AICTE approval for the same.Also some coordinators had opened its so calledstudy centers throughout the country and is conducting exams,enrolling students and collecting fees through these centers, thisis a clear violation of the UGC norms of Distance education laidunder the MHRD, govt. of INDIA.

No technical course can run under distance mode, it is thatsimple as that, so what is the difference with this university, whythey consider this correct, and who has allowed them to grantsuch invalid degrees. Well the university coordinator says theydon’t require AICTE accreditation to run any course and thatthey are approved by DEC.

Point worth noticing is that DEC as a council is dissolved.Null and void, with immediate effect by the MHRD on therecommendations of the Madhav Menon Committee to “SuggestMeasures to Regulate the Standards of Education BeingImparted through Distance Mode.” UGC has been declared asthe whole soul responsible authority for undertaking theproceedings of all the presently running distance learningcourses until a separate body with the adequate framework andthe strictly maneuvered guidelines is formed which willundertake and replace DEC.

Now, KSOU is left with only UGC grant as a university.DEC when it was a functional unit had also detected this flawand illegal activities conducted by KSOU and had issued a“Show cause” notice to university for the same. But DEC alsohad some functional flaws in its working as in they never chasedthe university for the clarification of the same.

sTuDENTs THE REAL VICTIMCandidates determined to pursue professional and technical

courses find the lucrative offers and the tailor made courses ofthese universities as apt and very easy to pursue, so they enrollin these courses without prior investigation or reading thereviews, opinions and conversations available on internet aboutthe same. We recommend students not to fall prey to such thoseuniversities and their totally invalid courses; one should alwaysconsult with the best available education counselors or should

read the review about any university or collegebefore taking admission in it.

If it was possible to obtain a B.Tech degreeby just merely filling up some forms andappearing for the exams online or even fromcenter, then every university would have startedthis program, why only one. The reason is clearand the motives are dicey, this is a scam run bythe university study centers just to increase thestrength and earn some money by sellingdegrees. They try to cater the needs of the studentby providing them exactly what they want. Onecannot do B.Tech in Distance mode from anyuniversity whatsoever in INDIA, as clear as that.

Government is needed to examine thesematters and should coordinate with media campaigns like oursto have a hand in hand situation for cleansing these universitiesand other institutes running throughout the country educationwithout considering the enormous loss , an irreversible loss oftime , money and so many critical years they are creating . Aloss for which these students will never be able to explainreasons to their employers, their fate is in the hands of theseplayers who try to run their business from the shops which weresupposedly “temple of education.

People should understand this thing, we consider it as amistake of parents, who invariably indulge their child in thistype of “easy education”, why is it that the student is not able tocrack the exams of engineering that are valid or why he want topursue engineering , and in case the students is not sharp enoughwhy take him deliberately to engineering , let him to what he isgood in , it is not like that everybody can become an engineeror a doctor , why is this unnecessary burden of education is ladenon the young shoulders. And once they feel that they have suchlucrative courses which are offering them a B.Tech degreemerely by sitting at home they always pursue such courses andare attracted by them.

GOVERNMENT ACTIONsNow it’s the whole soul responsibility of the people in power

to understand and maintain the discretion in distance educationand regular degrees. maintaining the prestige of regular coursesis also an responsibility laden on the MHRD and the educationministry and if they are not able to maintain this stature then astrict action should be taken by the government on suchinstitutes and universities that are destroying with the future oflakhs of students by merely playing with words and allowingstudents to take on tailor made course, their motive is earningmoney and not at all providing quality education ,and it’s a workof the government to identify and mark such institutes andcancel their affiliations and all the accreditations that have beenawarded to them earlier.

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is an all Indiaentrance examination conducted on rotation by 14 National LawUniversities (NLUs) for admissions to their under-graduate andpost-graduate degree programmes (LL.B & LL.M). The 14participating NLUs in the order of their establishment are:1. National Law School of India University, Bangalore

(NLSIU)2. National Academy of Legal Study & Research (NALSAR)

University of Law, Hyderabad3. National Law Institute University, Bhopal (NLIU)4. The West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences,

Kolkata (WBNUJS)5. National Law University, Jodhpur (NLUJ)6. Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur (HNLU)7. Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar (GNLU)8. Dr. Ram ManoharLohiya National Law University,

(NUSRL)14. National Law University & Judicial Academy, Assam

(NLUJA)The first CLAT Core Committee consisting of Vice-

Chancellors of the seven participating NLUs at that time decidedthat the test should be conducted by rotation in the order of theirestablishment. Accordingly, the first Common Law AdmissionTest (CLAT) was conducted in the year 2008 by the NationalLaw School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore.Subsequently, CLAT-2009, CLAT-2010, CLAT-2011 and CLAT-2012 have been conducted by NALSAR-Hyderabad, NLIU-Bhopal, WBNJUJS-Kolkata and NLU-Jodhpur, respectively.The CLAT-2013 is being conducted by Hidayatullah NationalLaw University (HNLU), Raipur.

This format is very much followed for last couple of decadesin the country and is also considered as the most successfuljudicial education system meeting standards as laid inaccordance with the European and American law schools. Lawis related to the constitution and the basic judicial structure ofthe country thus it cannot be a global course, but within theboundary of the countries a lawyer is the first person to contactfor any legal queries.

6 BIG BENEFITs OF TAkING LAW As A CAREERThere are various reasons aforesaid to join law as a career

but to summarize the main points lets discuss them one by one.1. Expanded growth opportunity.There are almost immense innumerable opportunities and

totally depends upon your knowledge and being a well-definedperson of law. The more you gain experience of law, the morejudicial you become thus gaining an exponential growth from alawyer to a senior lawyer than a judge.

2. Monetary benefitsThe legal profession is one of the most lucrative industries

in today’s job market and would remain for very long. Double-digit growth in recent years has produced healthy revenues andrising salaries. Associates in the nation’s largest law firms startat thousands of rupees and partners earn average salaries inexcess of many lakhs per month. After you have gainedreputation as a lawyer people engage themselves in verycomplex and heavy money related cases only.

3. Public serviceAt the heart of the legal professional’s role is client service.

Whether you are a lawyer representing a multinational corporateclient, a paralegal assisting abused women obtain restrainingorders or a law clerk researching a tax issue for a new business,the fundamental purpose of the legal professional is the helpothers resolve their legal problems.

4. ubiquitous ProfessionWhatever city you are in, whatever position of judges you

held you will find the local courts and legal magistrate’s hearingseverywhere throughout the country. Once you have the degreeyou are liable to practice law and its applications anywhere inthe country and handle any case you feel like you can.

5. Legal terminologies and intellectual logicsNavigating an evolving legal system, advances in

technology, vast bodies of case law and the demands of the legalprofession creates a stimulating intellectual environment for thelegal professional. Lawyers and non-lawyers alike must grapplewith conceptually challenging issues, reason with logic andclarity, analyze case and statutory law, research complex legalissues and master oral and written communications.

6. Prestige& HonorIn a culture that views high pay, impressive schooling and

societal power as hallmarks of success, the legal profession haslong been regarded as a noble and elite profession. This imageis further boosted by the portrayal of legal careers in the mediaas exciting, glamorous, fast-paced and desired. As a result, thelegal profession has held its allure and careers in the law remainis one of the most sought-after professions in today’s job market.

ince the very inception, when this term was coined,politics; it is always considered as a negative word, aword which often mingled and misunderstood with

diplomacy, playing with words, and shrewd administration.Though it’s an undeniable fact that these words are more or lessrelated to politics but these words have really obsessed thecurrent day terminology of politics as a whole, and has furthercontaminated the whole profession designed with the intentionsof public service.

There are immense opportunities in a country like INDIA interms of politics; also there is a huge lack of charismaticpoliticians and really honest people in this field, like othercountries, where the situation is not really that worse and thepoliticians still hold a belief in the people and they tend to bemotivated towards this field.

So what is there in politics that may excite you, why to joina career that has too many flaws and a really bad reputation?

Well the answer to it is our outlook, the way we perceive thingsand go along with them, as mentioned in the headline of thistopic, there is an utmost risk, a risk to career as a whole and arisk of gaining nothing out of it.

WHO SHOULD CHOOSE POLITICS There are some essential qualities which should be there in

a person who is looking to take politics as a career. Politics isnot meant for any one, it’s not a framework or a course followingwhich anyone can become a politician, and it is strictly not likethat.

1. A MASTER ORATOR: The person should be afearless public speaker; this is the first and foremost quality thata person should have in order to be a successful politician. Yourwords, your actions and gestures should be very mature, conciseand inciting. Whether you are keeping your point of view oryour party’s agenda you should be able to clearly make a markin the heart of your target audience. Present day politicians like

Politics and Leadership:Opportunity for young generation

CAREER CONNECT

Mr. Narendra Modi, Mr. Sharad Pawar, and Mr. Arvind Kejriwaletc. they all have a charisma in what they speak , they carry amentality , a point and they are expert in carrying their ideologyto be very well understood by the common public at large

2. GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS:You should have goodlinksamongst the people of different trades. The one withmaximum links and relations will eventually have the mostvaried voter bank behind him. He should be a man of hearts, onewho could win public and take them in confidence. Publicrelations are very important thing that one should have in orderto utilize the influence, in order to gain support from the masseswhen undergoing any rally, walks, and elections and under badconditions of protest. Usually in a country like ours people aremotivated by religion, profession, associations or by simply theirlanguages. So a shrewd politician should understand the verysocial fabric of the people and then implement his ideology,because in a vast country like ours there are various groups andthousands of languages, people are divided like flora and fauna,and usually ones gain is other’s loss and vice-versa. So oneshould be a good judge of his target audience.

3. MAN WITH A VISION: You should work on avision,a vision how to proceed yourself and your association in futureand how to carry on that viewpoint in the ultimate service of thesociety. in today’ practical scenario , people especiallypoliticians with a narrow mentality try to gain as much as theycan while in power , because they are almost sure that theycannot sustain their position , the next time they will stand inthe elections , and in this blind race for gaining personal benefits, they forget about the ones who choose them , they forgot thatthey have been designated with a very responsible position todevelop and enhance the society and not to fill in their own bank

accounts and contaminate the political scenarios. The biggestexample of man with a vision was Mr. Rajeev Gandhi , theformer prime minister of india , who is responsible for this ITrevolution in the country , it was his vision and a clear futureoriented outlook because of which india today is an IT hub , andsupports about 80% of IT and ITes firms in the world. This isbecause a man thought of it in a very early stage and had put inreal strong efforts for fulfilling it.

4. INTELLECTUAL AND LAW ABIDING: A politicianshould be quite intellectually sound and a player of words, whichcan abide him from the hounding media and critics especiallyopposition parties, who always keep prying eyes to the words andstatements given by you or your party. He should be matureenough in using the words so that he can very well convey hismotive to the most illiterate person and that person reallyunderstand straightaway what his viewpoint is, and simultaneouslyyour words should not be offending, abusing or in any mannerdirectly hurting the personal sentiments of any community, personor group of people as a whole. Every statement you give and everyperson you support should be chosen wisely and with utmostdiscretion, so that when you have to face the consequences or theblame of anything that had gone the other way as you had expectedit to be. The basic logic is that your words should be irreversible,or having meaning that can be molded in a different way.

These are some of the basic guru mantras of politics,however there are varied reasons and sympathies that make goodpoliticians and man they can entrust the supreme power of beingtheir leader. Thus it is a career that is meant for a special few,who really want to dedicate their life in the service of the nation,ideally.


Communication: Anultimate Tool to success

irst impression is the last impression and that impressionshould reallyhave a lasting experience. Companiesnowadays seek people with excellent communication

skills and fluent English, the ones who are capable enough tounderstand and mould their accent instantly and also understanddifferent dialects and expressions of speech. Today in this worldof globalization all world is a centre stage and people have todeal with business across different geographies and languages.Thus it is clear from the global scenario that communication andsoft skills play a very vital role in whatever kind of job you do.

A person having these skills is having an upper hand alongwith the required skills for the job, because these make him acomplete professional. One should work on the speaking skillsbecause these are the first thing that comes into notice and makesan everlasting effect on the observer or interviewer. By speech orspeaking skills we mean a conjunction of grammar and right

pronunciation of words. Everybody can learn thousands of word;mug up their meaning and use whenever they are surfaced, butwhat the benefit if you can't explain someone what you want tosay with the help of those word. If you know the word but cannotpronounce it properly than there is no point speaking that word.This is an essential of communication and cannot be avoided bymerely mugging up words, one should also play equal importanceto how they are pronounced because they are inevitably useful tothe individual as if you know the correct pronunciation you canalways understand very well what the other person is saying.

Nobody is a born good communicator, all he speaks is whathe has learned and implemented in his own tone, the one wholistens more grabs more; a nice speaker has to be a very goodlistener as well. You can only communicate with other people ifyou think that you have some solid material to speak on, if youhave knowledge about that particular topic, otherwise after

speaking some words you will ran out of ideas, you will try to digdeeper into the words to actually make your speech delivered, butin case of doing so you will always lessen the impact of yourthoughts and that too at the cost of a deep degradation in thequality of your thought.

LIMITED usAGE OF sLANGsPeople usually have a habit of using slangs and short forms

while communicating, which is invariably a bad practice, a habitthat may lead you in cumbersome situation also. Slangs whichyou may use commonly or are expected to be known by all andsundry are not encouraged in professional communication, it isconsidered a bad to be a slang speaker, because you may knowslang and feeling like having a “cool” tone but he might have notunderstood your slang, and could have even slipped the wholeconversation due to that. I mean it’s beneficial to have a clear andwell understood communication rather than merely using a coupleof slangs and make your point either two meanings or literally nomeaning.

usAGE OF WORDsChoose your words wisely; your words should be able to

communicate the exact meaning what you want to say. Keep itsimple as possible, heavy words or uncommon words are goodfor increasing your vocab but not for communication; after all itis not a GMAT exam but a normal conversation. Use commonwords effectively instead of going for heavy words, your thoughtsshould be very well explained via your words. Sometimeseffective and appropriate usage of words leads to a great speechinstead of a very well written speech in English. After all it’s the

impact on the audience that really matters in effectivecommunication.

READING HABITOne should have a good reading habit to rapidly increase your

communication, because reading different king of topics andgenres make us aware of the sentences that uses various wordsand figure of speeches and we can also have a common platformof words which we can adapt in our common communicationstyle, which further reduces our margin of error in speakingEnglish and the usage of grammar, because as we are the artificialspeaker of this language (non- native) we may not realise whatthe error we had done or spoken in whatever we speak.

Reading is always healthy, a habit also strongly recommendedby doctors and other health critics and we should read what welike, explore new topics, new dimensions that will give us a newapproach and familiarization with the new terminology and thedifferent aspects of real time experiences and application specificthings that we would never had been aware of , it’s like havingknowledge of an phenomenon without actually visiting thatphenomena , though it doesn’t mean that you will learn a to ridea bicycle by reading a “how to ride manual”. You cannot learn aphysical phenomenon by reading it; you should have a practicaldone before if you really want to ride a bicycle. These aredifferent things with different outlook towards various situations.One should be very clear about his motives of learning anylanguage and ultimately the outcome he will have afterunderstanding that language, we should invest our time andenergy in sharp work rather doing hard work. A horse pays whilea donkey brays.

EDUCATION CONNECT

1. Education:

The Meaningvery person should understand the meaning of educationin day to day life. Education is such a learning experiencethat continues for a life period and is acquired through

reading, observation or accidents affecting a person with certainbehavioral changes in them. While culture, in an easy term, canbe defined as all the cumulative experiences & achievementsinherited from preceding generations by the succeeding ones,education can simply be explained as the structured process ofpassing it on. Meaning of education is not limited to being ableto read, write, draw or perform a specific function but is widespread to imagination and vision of achieving great feats.

The ValueThe value of education cannot be measured in terms of

money or substance. It can only be determined by its quality andthe respectability awarded to the person possessing it. A person,who is educated well, will be able to distinguish things on meritby forming an exact idea about them, can make observationsperfectly and can take wise decisions which all are valuable in

the daily life of people. Change in times leads to change invalues. Where in ancient ages education was merely limited toknowing how to read, write or express the thoughts, today it ismuch more than that. Value of education relates directly to theadaptability of a person in a given situation.

Road AheadThe education roadmap is a constantly changing and ever

evolving phenomenon. It goes on from being rigid to becomingflexible and efficient with the changing times and varyingrequirements. Today’s world is the world of technology. So,people need to be versed with it. Hence, education in current erais adopting new strategies and techniques of learning andpersonality development. Tomorrow seems bright with internetand communication technologies supporting the educationsystem exceedingly well. Public is adapting to the latestmethodologies by accepting the distance education practiceswhich is the newest buzz about teaching-learning techniques andimplements cutting edge technologies at the core of it.

from time to time. The teaching & learning styles differ withvarying geographies. Education, its level and its developmentscenario depend mainly upon tradition, culture, structure and thepeople steering it forth. Anyone studying the evolution ofeducation on the global front can quote the example ofeducational face-change in India on top of other countries.Coming out of the proven Vedic Techniques of study; which wasfollowed since ages and traditions, moving steadily tomeditation based study to adopting through observations, to theMedieval Periods of Mughals and to the modern style of school,college and university structures; the Indian system has gonethrough several phase transits.

3. Chronology of Indian Education in Brief

Pre-British EraTill the time Britishers could arrive in India by establishing

“East India Company” in Bengal, Indian Education System hadalready travelled many routes. Known to be the most erstwhilestructure, initiating from a privileged one moving forward tosome rigid absurdity only to be considered one of the mostcorrupt systems today, the arrangement has gone through manychanges. It was built, demolished, tormented and restructuredmany a times. Studying about Pre-British Era clearly presentsthe picture. Where there was Vedic time when everyone hadfreedom of study and mainly religious teaching prevailed withVedas being the source of knowledge, there was socialist,religious, humanistic, legal and communal education in furtherdevelopment of teaching-learning process. Changes occurred ineducating practices with proceeding times as followed religionslike Christianity, Islamism, Buddhism, Jainism and othersaround the world. These all had their own set of theories andIndian educationists who think of establishing global unity gavespace to the best teachings. However, in the midst of prosperity,brotherliness and harmony, education system derailed and thetrack was missed. Every ruler, who came to India, had its ownset of objectives and molded education system in the fulfillmentof those objectives. Many languages came into existence whileSanskrit was the only language earlier.

British TimesAs the track got missed and self oriented approach

dominated, Indian education continued to try and find its truemeaning. Meanwhile, British ruling happened and the educationsystem became structured. The orderly arrangement was madeas schools, colleges and universities established. In between allthese reforms, there came the industrial revolution across theworld in the 19th century as mechanization started to attract maxattention. This desired for a greater emphasis on technical andmanagerial knowledge. The thing to follow suits wasrequirement for skilled and trained workers coming out ofeducational institutions. Some more developments continued.The population increased uncontrollably in India. Need forappropriate work started haunting people. Before the Britishruling, Mugals introduced Urdu as the language of instructionwhereas British people found it uncomfortable. Hence, Englishlanguage was made the mode of teaching. All of it counted fora thorough overhauling of the system. Economy was the primeconcern of English ruling therefore economy-based educationwas also introduced. Although, mannerism and moral values still

remained significant yet the care given to them got lessen.Post IndependenceAfter Independence, the face of education in India is said to

have deformed. Cheats and Frauds crept up and value degraded.It no more remained as respected and regarded on the worldscreen as it used to be in the ancient times. Western culture tookover the reins and Indian domination was nonexistent.Capitalists started governing the holy field of study. This allstarted breaking the rhythm of study system. Visionaries stillleading the education sector are outnumbered.

4. Indian Education at Present

What to Consider NowNow that the charm is gone and the sheen has evaded, there

are so many things that demand care and attention. Governmentstructures have not been proper to sufficiently meet the exactingrequirement of today. Industry and the population of country aregrowing endlessly. Skilled labor is the need of the hour. Qualityhigher education is required. Youth needs to be trained to fit thescale of industry. Value based study must follow. Harmony andhonesty must be imparted into the minds of youth so thatglobalization, the modern form of global brotherliness andprosperity, could be realized. The consideration should beprompted on today’s younger population, today’s science andtechnical education and today’s industrial labor wants.

Where to Focus TodayThe focus of education keeps on shifting with respect to the

then requirements of public and the respective demands of time.From during the time of Vedas to the present time of economyand advancing technology, the world has transformed quite a bit.The focus on religious and mythical practices, predominant inthe times gone by, has now vanished as it shifted on scientificresearch and technical upgrades. As the core focus diverted fromsocialist studies to individual uplifting, it has now becomepronouncing that teaching and learning is flamed with properassessment and evaluation enabling a person to know the areasof improvement where one can concentrate to fit the correctstandards. More than maintaining course material as the primefocus it is required that proper practical training andunderstanding is emphasized in present scenario.

5. Education

FinallyEducation means consistent and continuous growth of a

personality which is achieved through proper assessment andevaluation techniques. This needs setting up of well-structuredstandards so that every individual can be rated properly. Thewhole system requires redesigning as there is a lot of differenceof living between rural population and the urban one in ourcountry. People must be empowered to correct the systems. Thevoice of public must be heard. The consistency needs to bemaintained overall and the citizens should be considered ashuman beings not any of the living creatures. The governmentmust help them in all respects. Everyone should be treated asequal without differentiating them in color and caste. Humanitymust prevail and the unity in the world should be established.This is possible only if each and every person around the worldis well educated.


etworking is a kind of field that has always grown likealgae in the shadow of big trees of programmers andsoftware engineers. IT and ITes are the most promising

and high end revenue generating fields both for the companiesand for the employees, because, as these are very new kind ofbusiness, thus they beholds the world class infrastructure, newand very big players and is mostly handled by private andcapable enough business magnets because inevitably it is a realtime market, the things you do, the algorithms you make, thedevices you deploy, all have the impact almost instantaneously.

You must have heard enough of the IT software field, jobsin JAVA, SAP, and ERP etc., but here we will detail you about

the multi-million dollar industry with unleashing opportunitiesand prosperous future, this industry is called IT hardware, orcommonly NETWORKING. Networks and network security isbasically all the works related to the hardware capabilities andoptimization of the resources in place for bandwidthinfrastructure and capacity management.

WHAT Is NETWORkING FIELD?Now, you will be wondering what this is all about, and in

case it is that much big industry, why I haven’t put attention toit before. The reason behind this non familiarization is simplyabsence of local players. In a country like India, this field is stillin its initial stage, marked as a secondary industry outsourcingsupport, which comes after primary Software engineering, inwhich Indians are the pioneers and masters in the world.However networking has various big players like Aricent,CISCO, HP, IBM etc. but when you talk about Indian markets,this field is played by HCL, WIPRO TCS and somewhatINFOSYS only, In short words, and this networking field isinvariably not at all engrained in the social fabric of Indian ITmarkets and companies.

Small companies do not invest in this field due to lack ofskilled employees in this field, because it requires knowledgeand technical expertise of the TCP, OSI model and moreovercertifications like CCNA (cisco certified network administrator)and many more. Also, they do not get projects specifically formaintaining network infrastructure for any big company becausethey consider them immature to handle such a vital responsibility.

HuGE NO. OF JOBs You will be surprised to know that in India only there is a

need of more than 1 lakh networking engineers throughout thenation, with all the above mentioned big IT giants trying touphold the vast market of Asian subcontinent with the cheapestand most skillful labor available in the world. Indians especiallyhave an upper hand in this scenario because of deep presence ofthe aboriginal companies that deal with networking field in thecountry. Also, every company that has a standard infrastructurewill definitely require a datacenter, and the datacenter will haveall the networking requirements and eventually skilled laborrequirements for the same. Thus if you are in the networkingfield or having the required skills and knowledge of networklayers and their working and topologies then there is an everincreasing demand for you as a professional networkadministrator.

NEED FOR NETWORk sECuRITYWhen windows are bigger than the doors!!Networks especially internet is though, on one hand a vast

reservoir of knowledge and ubiquitous information but at the sametime it is quite vulnerable, vulnerable to hackers, who monitor thecompanies networks continuously to find the flaws in the network

to gain some data, leak information, compromise their systems and,in worst case make the servers or website down which is known asin the technical terms as Denial-of-service.

Banks and other financial establishments which have criticalonline financial transactions and data transfers via wire transferespecially hire specialized people to make their networks secureand safe from the prying eyes of the hackers.

Thus, every firm or organization that works will need networkengineers to design and implement the most secure networks andsave their systems and servers from being compromised. In theEuropean countries like Germany, Norway etc. network engineersare in a very shortfall, there is a huge requirement of these skill setsthus they export professionals from south east Asia , mostly fromSingapore, Malaysia and Philippines .

WHAT Is NEEDED OF A NETWORk PROFEssIONALEngineers especially B.Tech people have an upper hand in this

kind of jobs because they require precise technical expertise atevery stage , however recent trends show people from evennonscientific background preferring to take up this field and alsodoing good by taking basic training courses for the basic knowledgeand techniques required for networking .

From The data shared by Bureau of Labor Statistics , a millionnew information technology job opportunities, with a lion’s shareof such new opportunities related to security, information andnetwork security is in the pipeline with most of them alreadygearing up as the small players also joining up the bigger once toleverage this market’s competitiveness.

“The recent spate of high-profile attacks against companies andorganizations such as Google, Sony, RSA-Lockheed Martin,International Monetary Fund and others has brought concerns ofinformation systems security to center stage. New developmentssuch as mobile and cloud computing bring forth further freshchallenges. Even network security is of critical importance to a firmin order to ensure the robustness of the system, ensure data security,and legal compliance.” As quoted from the critics point of view.

Nothing is rocket science until you make up your mind to do it,you can always have, an overview and a different outlook towardsvarious things in the most suitable manner to you and once youhave reached the threshold where you think that yes this is the mostinteresting thing I have done in your life, than it hardly matters whatyou have studied in the past, this is the magic of computer world,this the charisma of IT field, welcome to the world of networks.

THE ACCusED POLITICIAN

odhpur University, a university that assumes to followUGC guidelines is opening its various whereabouts by thename of “national Co-coordinators” in different cities. By

national coordinators they mean they these study centers willprovide information about the various courses of the universityand also enlighten the students with assistance about whatever“tailor made” degrees they want, but neither a regular class isrun in these centers nor do they comply with any of the normsof the standing body aforesaid.

These so called national coordinators are working off-campus (outside the official premises, Jodhpur) which is not anofficial guideline of UGC, BCI (Bar council of India), AICTE,DCI & PCI. So with whose guidelines are these study centersworking, why are such reputed government institutes totallyblind on this type of activities, why they do not care for thefuture of thousands of students who will eventually enroll viathese study centers. As a consequence, no company or firm willhire or consider their degrees, as valid and thus no employmentwill be entertained, then the students will be at rage, matter willreach the ears of these govt. institutes, and in a haphazardsituation these centers, degrees and eventually the universityaffiliation will all stand null and void with immediate effect,exactly same as it happened with the CMJ university, andthousands of students were orphaned immediately by thegovernment. What a sarcastic way to act!!

(Jodhpur National University Chancellor Denies Having anyCenter out of state)

Indian education system, having so many of it, enjoys itsintimacy with flaws. One after the other, it keeps embracing theblemishes. The dissolution of dissolution of Distance EducationCouncil (DEC) of Indira Gandhi National Open University(IGNOU), few public notices from the University GrantsCommission (UGC) and sale-purchase of certificate/ degree are

some of the examples. Recently, an institutionin the nationalcapital region of Delhi was found making claims of being JNU(Jodhpur National University) study center. This was somethingfor the astonishment of all, as the JNU chancellor KamalMehtadenies from having any of the university operations basedoutside the Jodhpur city.

A chartered accountant by profession, Mr. Mehta said in hisstatement, “JNU has been working in the city of Jodhpur topromote educational enrichment in the youth belonging to thesun-city, since its inception. We don’t have any study/examination center outside the city.”

He further remarked about the university’s plans to achieveglobal status by taking one step forward at a time.“For the timebeing, we have kept all our focuson empowering young brainsfrom Jodhpur with excellent form of education, withoutwandering between places. We have the aim of distributingknowledge all across the globe, crossing all bounds, but for now,we have total focus on creating a niche place of our own withinthe sun-city only,” Mehta maintained.

In his reply to the question whether there is any study/examination/ admission center of the university in other stateIndia, the chancellor said, “JNU does not have any center inother state or anywhere else in India, except Jodhpur. We don’tauthorize an institution outside the sun-city for taking admissionor to conduct classes. Ours is a limited range wherein we wantperfection in our system. Unless, we have reached that goal, wedon’t want to expand or enlarge our circle.”

From chancellor’s statements it is clear that the universitydoes not have any center in India or even in Rajasthan, apartfrom Jodhpur city. If any institution is making such claims ofbeing the center of Jodhpur National University, it would bedeemed as invalid. The university chancellor refused fromhaving any association with a center in the national capitalterritory of Delhi.

NEWS CONNECT

he Rural Institute of Open Schooling was registered to (C-12,

Ground Floor, Aruna Park, Near Vikas Marg Laxmi Nagar,

Delhi-110092) provide professional services to the government

and other agencies in the field of education, in general, and school

education, in particular, for the development and growth of distance

and open school system and develop appropriate curriculum for

vocational and continuing education to prepare student population for

the world of work.

Now as per the letter that iConnect received from ministry of HRD,

RIOS stands nowhere as a board in the recognized board list entitled to

provide education certificates for 10th and 12th class. RIOS on its

website has mentioned a link for MHRD, but that link takes you to the

official HRD website but nowhere provides you a proof that it has an

affiliation from the Ministry .But just merely sending us an letter does

not relieve the HRD from their responsibility, if they are replying to a

letter they must also look and investigate and fine out the ground level

about this RIOS board and should have taken a step voluntarily to check

the veracity of this institute.

When iConnect tried to approach Commissioner of Police, Crime

cell (DELHI) on this RIOS case he straight away initiated a step and

vested this matter on the DCP DELHI, who immediately understood

the severity of the matter and assigned a Sub-Inspector of Vigilance,

named Mr. Younis, who was adamant for a written application against

“RIOS” and “TAKE Distance education” otherwise they will

investigate this issue on their own level. May be there are various

reasons that made him not to take any step for next month , or even the

day this news was published , aforesaid DCP does not provide any

media bytes or ready reckoner or clarification about this information

that we had provided , when we tried to capture them on media they

refused to face the camera.

We need to change, government has to look into this matter

seriously after all it is the future of the country is at stake and we have

to look and think very carefully about the future of our youth as whole,

what will be their future, who will decide their career path and the

potential that can be utilized with full optimization. In a country like

ours where police does not act on time, mostly due to various pressures

and may be interests.

The RIOS is headquartered in a small block in the Laxmi Nagar

area of East Delhi. The matter is also in the knowledge of the Delhi

police, but they have not taken it into consideration while they boast of

being alert 24x7. If the people in public-service and protection do not

have any accountability of what all is going on, who else can be held

responsible for all the mishaps that happen every now and then? There

is a lot of hue and cry about various other subjects but no one is there

to think about the future and career of students.

So as a jist of all the things said above RIOS is a board with no

proven govt. association and affiliations is providing all the courses and

authorizes itself as a board of education. Now what the people can do

about it, how they would make out what is real and what is fake when

everyone is pretending to be the real one, the biggest godfather one can

have at that moment , and then they will really “make you an offer ,

which you can’t refuse”.

students are waiting for justicePolice waiting for complaints

No action taken by Police after being informedRios: many questions unanswered, police? Governments? Higher authorities?

Patiala |ICNT correspondence

ne more education scam in Punjab that Global OpenUniversity was running and allegedly providing illegaland illegitimate courses in its campus and also

throughout the country by providing tailor made courses andalso providing short term MBA programs, chancellor mainculprit Mr Priyaranjan Trivedi was arrested and taken intocustody by the Punjab police on Friday by special cell of PatialaPolice (Central investigation Agency), headed by Mr HardayalSingh (SSP) , Punjab police acted on the reaction to FIRno.281/20/sep2013. He was also alleged to have been to Punjabto promulgate his so called education program and to capturethe student lobby by providing some so called “easy courses.

The Global Open University, Nagaland (A State Universityestablished by the Government of Nagaland) has been legislatedby the Nagaland State Legislative Assembly under The GlobalOpen University Act 2006 (Act 3 of 2006) which received theassent of the Governor of Nagaland on 30th August 2006 andwas notified vide Notification number Law/Act-10/2006 on 18thSeptember 2006. The provisions of The Global Open UniversityAct 2006 were published in the Nagaland Official Gazette on18th September 2006 for general information.

The serious charges that were put up on the University asconveyed to iConnect by SSP were under the IPC act of 420,406, 460 and 471. Students were given false commitments andwere deceived on every step of their education. UGC the apexbody responsible for providing its recognition and accreditationwas again questioned after a series of such fraudulentuniversities are being surfaced out, UGC a responsiblegovernment body has full responsibility and is answerable forthe future of students and degrees that were offered by suchuniversities.

UGC need to maintain and foresee the future ofstudents and maintain the ground level examination and

prepare a report for each and every university that works acrossthe nation. It is not as easy as it looks , when you grant anyinstitute with a recognition of university , you are providing it alicense to take under its aegis the future of thousands of students, who were give the important years of their budding career toimpoverish their skills and study hard enough to attain goodpositions. What will happen to their careers, what if their degreesstand null and void after all these years of continuous struggleand hard work.

UGC and other such govt. institutes when questioned andrevealed facts and scams of such universities, immediately setup committees that will examine and make out the decayingcondition of education system in these universities , and willstraight away cancel their recognition and thus the degrees ofall students. So the government has to open the way they usedto work till now and proactively monitor the activities of suchuniversities in order to promulgate the real meaning ofeducation, such that the fruit of education is not wasted but maybear a seed.
