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.

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.

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.
