Who is responsible for all that ails India? What is the India of my dreams?

Dr. Abdul Kalam had once asked a little girl, what was her dream for India? The reply “I dream of a developed India”.
This impressed him and Ito be honest this is also ‘My dream’. I dream of an India where every one is educated, there is employment for all and everyone is satisfied and happy.
I dream of an India, where many scientists are engaged in doing significant researches, an India, which would be known for great scientific and technological advancements, an India where the likes of Tata’s and Birla’s would come up with new inventions, leaving the whole world amazed, great minds of the world guessing as to how the impossible was achieved An India, which is a leader not only in making new discoveries/inventions but also in spirituality, an India with an excellent net work of roads and bridges connecting even the remotest parts An India, where sustainable growth and development go hand in hand.

There was once a time when my Motherland, India, was considered a ‘Golden Bird’. This was because of its riches, vast natural resources and the great, bright future it was expected to have in store, our rich, cultural heritage, old civilization and vast knowledge in every aspect of life had endeared India and Indians even to the outside world.

No wonder, foreigners had been taking keen interest in us right from the dawn of their awakening. But alas! It is all lost now. Gone are the days of past glory, riches, reverence and attraction. The country has witnessed a sharp decline in its over-all image and we have now become a nation, inviting mockery, neglect and indifference from outsiders.

Start-up India, Stand up India

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a new campaign "Start-up India, Stand up India" to promote bank financing for start-ups and offer incentives to boost entrepreneurship and job creation.

Addressing the nation on the 69th Independence Day, he said, "We are looking at systems for enabling start-ups. We must be number one in start-ups... Start-up India; Stand up India."

The initiative, he said, will encourage entrepreneurship among the youth of India. Each of the 1.25 lakh bank branches should encourage at least one Dalit or tribal entrepreneur and at least one woman entrepreneur.

Under this, in addition to existing systems to facilitate start-ups, he said loans would also be given to help people.

The initiative, he said, will give a new dimension to entrepreneurship and help set up a network of start-ups in the country.

The Prime Minister also promised to do away with the current practice of interview-based selections for low-skilled government jobs.

He questioned the practice of "interviews" for recruitments even at relatively junior levels and asked departments concerned to end this practice at the earliest and promote merit by recruiting only through transparent, online processes.

As part of the Skill India and Digital India initiative, the Prime Minister said a package of incentives will be given to manufacturing units for generating jobs.

Messege of CBSE Chairmain ....

　

Dear Friends, 31.12.2015



Today seems to be the most opportune time to holistically review the various works accomplished, those yet to be completed and to set up a roadmap together as we ring in the New Year 2016.

CBSE has 17077 affiliated schools worldwide, with 784 new schools added during this year alone. Indeed, the responsibility of the Board is manifold and multifarious. Among all the other Boards of school education in the country, CBSE is credited for being the most innovative, progressive and contemporary in its approach. The policies and programmes of the Board are designed to achieve national goals and aspirations.

CBSE has whole heartedly participated in the Hon’ble PM’s flagship ‘Digital India Program’ and shared data with the nodal agencies to come on board for Digital Locker, National Scholarship Portal and DGET Portal.

With the vision to improve schools’ and students’ performance and providing data driven decision support system , CBSE, under the guidance of Hon’ble Union Minister of Human Resource Development, developed ‘SARANSH’ a tool for comprehensive self-review for schools and parents. It aims to equip schools to diagnose the scope of improvement in students, teachers and subjects. SARANSH provides school a complete snapshot and comprehensive drill down analysis to take actionable decisions. It help schools to compare the performance vis-à-vis all CBSE schools at All India, Regional and State levels and within their school category (Government, Independent, JNVs, KVs and CTSA). It is also intended to help parents to compare their ward’s performance within School, State, Regional and National level.

It goes to the credit of the Board that within a short span of its launch by the Hon’ble HRM on 7th Nov 2015, Saransh has won three prestigious awards, E-India 2015 Award for Best Govt. Initiative in Education, Skoch Order of Merit for Smart Technology (selected from more than 2500 projects) and Skoch Award (highest independent honor, selected and voted from among 1120 projects shortlisted from 2500 projects).

In an effort to bring technology closer to students and teachers and ensure digital access and equity to all, CBSE has prepared e-learning material for students and teachers. e-CBSE is an endeavour to provide books of various classes and subjects (academic, vocational and support materials) through a portal and Mobile App. It is hoped that the students and teachers will make the utmost use of the services being offered.

By providing quick response services, the online authentication of CBSE CTET Certificate for CTET eligibility has been introduced. This is uniquely identified with a Global Document Type Identifier (GDTI) which is encoded in a GS1 QR Code.

what i wish for my country

 Reference can be taken from


 I am an Indian. I love my motherland. I wish to make it an ideal country in the world. I dream of making India a richer, happier and healthier place to live in. I want to see my country progress in all fields of life. Today people have grown selfish. There is injustice everywhere we always think of our own interests. But we do not think of the welfare of the nation. I like every Indian to have national character. In the India of my dream, every man will have a high moral sense and a deep love for the nation.

http://www.importantindia.com/10297/short-essay-on-india-of-my-dreams/

India-my motherland, with its mighty Himalayas looks like a golden bird flying high all above the sky with its cultures, traditions and with many advanced developments in science and technology. I am very proud to be an Indian. I love my country and I want to be the best in the world. I wish that my country should become a great nation with its talent and capability.
I have a sweet little dream for my motherland. People in India should be self-sufficient in food for which we have to make the barren lands productive. New varieties of seeds and modern tools should be used for agriculture which is the backbone of Indian economy.
The India of my dreams is a corruption-free nation. Beggary should be abolished; government should be people-friendly and citizens should consider it to be their duty to do something constructive for the nation.

When the Constitution came into force in 1950, no Fundamental Duties were enshrined in the Constitution of India. By the 42nd Amendment to the Constitution of India in 1976, ten Fundamental Duties have been added to our Constitution. These duties are important and necessary for the vital interest of our country. These Fundamental Duties are covered by Article 51 A incorporated in a new chapter, Part IV-A of the Constitution. Under this Article, it shall be the duty of every citizen of India –

(i) to abide by the Constitution and respect the National Flag and the National Anthem;
(ii) to cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle for freedom;
(iii) to protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India ;
(iv) to defend the country ;
(v) to promote the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India ;
(vi) to preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture ;
(vii) to protect and improve the natural environment ;
(viii) to develop the scientific temper and spirit of inquiry ;
(ix) to safeguard public property ;
(x) to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity

Fundamental Duties are like some noble advice of which some are civic duties and others are moral duties. They are not legally binding upon the citizens and even the courts can not enforce them. So, Fundamental Duties are not enforceable by the courts of our country. No one can be punished if he/she does not perform his/her duties. Though there is no legal force behind these duties, yet they are integral part to the Constitution of India. These duties have moral impact and educative value upon the citizens. Therefore people obey these duties on moral obligation for welfare of the people. After all inclusion of Fundamental Duties in the Constitution is considered necessary towards progress, peace and prosperity of the country.

Though there is no provision in the Constitution for direct enforcement of any of these duties nor for any sanction to prevent their violation, yet some Fundamental Duties are enforceable by the courts of the country. Duties like abide by the Constitution, respect the National Flag and the National Anthem, to defend the country and render National service when called upon to do so and safeguard public property etc. fall in this category and the courts can enforce them if it find reasonable relation with laws of the country. But there are some inherent draw backs of these Fundamental Duties. Actually Fundamental Duties are not binding upon the citizen. Duties inscribed in the Constitution are not exhaustive, while some duties are ambiguous. So, common people could not understand them. Yet these duties are important for National interest of our country. These duties have sanctity of its own. Besides these duties have moral and educative value upon citizen of our country. People fells that for proper enjoyment of rights, duties must be performed in a well manner. Because rights and duties are related to each other. Every right implies a corresponding duty towards individual and social welfare. Rights can not be separated from duties and vice-versa . Therefore, both rights and duties are important for the prosperity of the country in a similar manner.

The functions and importance of a free press in democratic society

Reference on said topic can be taken form following source

 The right to freedom of speech as one of the basic human rights is enshrined in main international human rights documents. Freedom of speech (synonym Freedom of expression [1]) is the inseparable element of a democratic society. Whether the society is democratic or not can be defined by the factor of independent press and mass media.

Freedom of speech and expression may bring to the control over the state authorities exercised by the society and to the maintenance of the self-controlled society, which is the demand of democracy. The definition of a self-controlled society means that it itself shall make own decisions. And the society can do this in case it is informed in aggregate with the open exchange of opinions. Abraham Lincoln, generally, expressed this conception as follows: “Let the people be aware of the facts, and the country will be calm”. [2] Hence, mass media as an instrument for the exercising of freedom of speech and expression gains importance for a democratic society.

Main functions of mass media are to cover the events, gather and spread information and finally to control the activities of state authorities. It used to be said that the mass media is the fourth power after the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary. The society, in its turn, may exercise control over the authorities only in case it is aware of its actions and if necessary can intervene; for instance through voting during the elections.

 

 

http://www.youthmedia.eu/media/117024-what-is-the-role-of-freedom-of-speech-in-a-democratic-society-and-where-are-its-limits-

 

 

Freedom of speech is the right to communicate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.
Governments restrict speech with varying limitations. Common limitations on speech relate to libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements, right to privacy, right to be forgotten, public security, public order, public nuisance, campaign finance reform and oppression. Whether these limitations can be justified under the harm principle depends upon whether influencing a third party's opinions or actions adversely to the second party constitutes such harm or not. Governmental and other compulsory organizations often have policies restricting the freedom of speech for political reasons, for example, speech codes at state schools.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot, Paris. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. The full text is published by the United Nations on its website.^[1]
The Declaration consists of thirty articles which have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions, and other laws. The International Bill of Human Rights consists of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols. In 1966, the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights. In 1976, after the Covenants had been ratified by a sufficient number of individual nations, the Bill took on the force of international law

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights



Press Council of India was first set up in the year 1966 by the Parliament on the recommendations of the First Press Commission with the object of preserving the freedom of the press and of maintaining and improving the standards of press in India. The present Council functions under the Press Council Act, 1978. It is a statutory, quasi judicial authority functioning as a watchdog of the press, for the press and by the press. It adjudicates the complaints against and by the press for violation of ethics and for violation of the freedom of the press respectively.
The Press Council is headed by a Chairman, who has by convention, been a retired judge of the Supreme Court of India. The Council consists of 28 other members of whom 20 represent the press and are nominated by the press organisations/news agencies recognised and notified by the Council as all India bodies of categories such as editors, working journalists and owners and managers of newspaper and news agencies, five members are nominated from the two Houses of Parliament and three represent cultural, literary and legal fields as nominees of the Sahitya Academy, University Grants Commission and the Bar Council of India. The members serve on the Council for a term of three years. A retiring member shall be eligible for renomination for not more than one term.
The Council is funded by the revenue collected by it as fee levied on the registered newspapers in the country on the basis of their circulation. No fee is levied on newspapers with circulation less than 5000 copies. The deficit is made good by way of grant by the Central Government.

http://presscouncil.nic.in/Content/1_1_Introduction.aspx
 Freedom of the press or freedom of the media is the freedom of communication and expression through mediums including various electronic media and published materials. While such freedom mostly implies the absence of interference from an overreaching state, its preservation may be sought through constitutional or other legal protections.
With respect to governmental information, any government may distinguish which materials are public or protected from disclosure to the public based on classification of information as sensitive, classified or secret and being otherwise protected from disclosure due to relevance of the information to protecting the national interest. Many governments are also subject to sunshine laws or freedom of information legislation that are used to define the ambit of national interest.
The United Nations' 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers"
This philosophy is usually accompanied by legislation ensuring various degrees of freedom of scientific research (known as scientific freedom), publishing, press and printing the depth to which these laws are entrenched in a country's legal system can go as far down as its constitution. The concept of freedom of speech is often covered by the same laws as freedom of the press, thereby giving equal treatment to spoken and published expression.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_press

Freedom of speech and expression subject to reasonable restrictions is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Indian Constitution. India celebrates its freedom of press which has been played an important role in the evolution of the Indian society over the decades. The freedom of speech is bolstered by the Right to Information. The role of the media is not only to disseminate information but also to help the society form opinions and make sound decisions. In this manner, the media plays an important role in governance of the nation. The author has explained the meaning and scope of the terms ‘freedom of speech and expression’ and ‘right to information’ with emphasis on the former being an important aspect of the Indian constitution. The author has then explained the role of the media vis a vis governance of a country. Being a democratic country, where the decision of the masses is supreme, mass media is in instrumental in ensuring that the people make informed decisions. Further, it is through the media that the masses are able to voice their opinions. Appreciation of the role of the media in good governance is essential to societal development

The role i can play in my community to uphold children right

One can take the reference of following links for detail studies in Child Right


http://ncpcr.gov.in/  National Commission for Protection of Child Rights

The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) was set up in March 2007 under the Commission for Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005, an Act of Parliament (December 2005). The Commission's Mandate is to ensure that all Laws, Policies, Programmes, and Administrative Mechanisms are in consonance with the Child Rights perspective as enshrined in the Constitution of India and also the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Child is defined as a person in the 0 to 18 years age group.

The Commission visualises a rights-based perspective flowing into National Policies and Programmes, along with nuanced responses at the State, District and Block levels, taking care of specificities and strengths of each region. In order to touch every child, it seeks a deeper penetration to communities and households and expects that the ground experiences gathered at the field are taken into consideration by all the authorities at the higher level. Thus the Commission sees an indispensable role for the State, sound institution-building processes, respect for decentralization at   the  local  bodies  and  community level and larger societal concern for children and their well-being.

Citizen's corner of Track Child

They are abandoned. They do not get a chance to step in a school. They are left to fend for themselves on the streets. They suffer from many forms of violence. They do not have access to even primary healthcare. They are subjected to cruel and inhumane treatments every day. They are children – innocent, young and beautiful – who are deprived of their rights.

In the history of human rights, the rights of children are the most ratified. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) defines Child Rights as the minimum entitlements and freedoms that should be afforded to every citizen below the age of 18 regardless of race, national origin, colour, gender, language, religion, opinions, origin, wealth, birth status, disability, or other characteristics.

These rights encompass freedom of children and their civil rights, family environment, necessary healthcare and welfare, education, leisure and cultural activities and special protection measures. The UNCRC outlines the fundamental human rights that should be afforded to children in four broad classifications that suitably cover all civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights of every child:

Over history there have been a number of international treaties and documents that outline the rights of a child. Prior to World War II the League of Nations had adopted the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1924. The United Nations (UN) took its first step towards declaring the importance of child rights by establishing the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund in 1946 (The name was shortened to United Nations Children's Fund in 1953, but kept the popular acronym UNICEF). Two years later the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, making it the first UN document to recognise children's need for protection.
The first UN document specially focused on child rights was the Declaration on the Rights of the Child, but instead of being a legally binding document it was more like a moral guide of conduct for governments. It was not until 1989 that the global community adopted the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, making it the first international legally binding document concerning child rights. The convention consists of 54 articles covering all four major categories of child rights: Right to life, Right to development, Right to protection, and Right to participation. It came into force on the 2nd September 1990.
The initiative to create a body of rights for children came from the draft document submitted by the Government of Poland to the Commission on human rights in 1978. A decade was spent drafting the Convention by an alliance of a number of small NGOs including Radda Barnen of Sweden, the International Child Catholic Bureau, and Defence for Children International, and United Nations human rights experts. Today the convention has been ratified by 192 countries becoming the most ratified of all international Human Rights treaties. India signed and ratified the convention in 1992. The only two countries who have not ratified the treaty are the United States and Somalia. Somalia has been unable to ratify due to the lack of a stable government and the US has signed the treaty showing their intention to ratify.
