Three unassuming women became the redeemers for India at the Rio Olympics as the country concluded its campaign with some good, bad and ugly memories.

Defying all odds and showing killer instincts, PV Sindhu, Sakshi Malik and Dipa Karmakar became the unlikely heroines and saved the country's pride from returning empty-handed for the first time since Barcelona 1992.

The trio notched a few firsts for India; Sindhu, at 21, became the youngest to win an Olympic medal, a silver which was never achieved in badminton; and Sakshi's bronze was also a first for women's wrestling.

India's first female gymnast Dipa went on to miss a bronze by 0.15 points but her clean finish in the high-risk Produnova vault won the hearts of a nation.

For the first time, the Government of India is embarking on a time-bound grassroots consultative process, which will enable the Ministry of HRD to reach out to individuals across the country through over 2.75 lakh direct consultations while also taking input from citizens online.http://mhrd.gov.in/nep-new

How to mark World Book And Copyright Day

How to mark World Book And Copyright Day: This year we have noticed that some booksellers are calling the World Book And Copyright Day 'World Book Day'. This is wrong. I don't know why we in Malta don't refer to the day by its proper name, as officially recognised by Unesco? The dropping of the word 'copyright' is a mystery.

CBSE will review ‘tough’ math paper, rework marking scheme

New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Thursday constituted a committee to review the Class 12 mathematics question paper that students and parents said was “unusually tough and lengthy”.
Students across India went into a panic mode after Monday’s exam, asking the board to address their concerns. By Tuesday, over 200 petitions were filed on change.org, with some asking for a retest.
The panel, which includes a subject expert, curriculum expert and board representatives, will take corrective measures and prepare a marking scheme before evaluation begins, said a CBSE official.
A copy will be sent to all checking centres and students will be marked according to the set formula, he said.
Usually, the board first sends feedback from teachers, principals and students about the question paper to the committee, said LV Sehgal, principal, Bal Bharti School.
“The committee then reviews, sets and finalises the marking scheme for that particular paper, taking the feedback into account,” he said.
Moderation of marks is generally reserved for rare occasions when it is clear the paper was difficult, a CBSE source said.
Moderation, by large, is a process of academic leveling through a slight “upscaling or downscaling” of marks. It is followed by most school boards and universities and usually benefits low scorers.
“A similar situation arose last year for the same subject. The board took a similar measure,” an official said.
The board set up an experts’ panel last year too to rework the marking scheme.
For particularly vague or tricky questions, marks for every answer step are also mentioned in the scheme.
“In case there are out-of-syllabus questions in the paper and students attempt them, the evaluators generally award marks for the attempt alone,” said Sehgal.
Students may also get marks for correct application of mathematical concepts and formulae, even if the final answer is incorrect. http://www.hindustantimes.com/education/cbse-will-review-tough-maths-paper-marking-scheme-to-be-reworked/story-ecYT2vncJZSCr1y0La557K.html

28^th of February, 1928 was the great day in India when an invention in the field of Indian science was completed by the famous Indian physicist, Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman. He was a Tamil Brahmin and first one in the science, who had researched such invention in India. To commemorate and honor this event always in the future, 28^th of February was asked to the Indian Government to designate as a National Science Day in India by the National Council for Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC) in the year 1986.
From then, the national science day was started celebrating all across the India as a great event in the field of Indian science. It is celebrated every year by students, teachers, scientists and researchers in all the schools, colleges, universities, educational institution including scientific, academic, medical, technical and research institutions of India. On the first celebration ceremony of the National Science Day in India, the National Council for Science and Technology Communication had declared the institution of the National Science Popularization awards in order to recognize an excellent and wonderful endeavor in the field of science communication and popularization.
Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman had worked from 1907 to 1933 at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata, West Bengal in India during which he had researched on many topics of the Physics from which the Raman Effect (effect on scattering of light when passing through different materials) became his great success and discovery which has been marked in the Indian history. For his big invention he was honored through the various Indian awards including the Nobel Prize in the year 1930. From the year 2013, the “Raman Effect” has been designated as an International Historic Chemical Landmark by The American Chemical Society.

It is celebrated every year with immense passion at the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (also called GMRT) at Khodad which is a worldwide famous telescope getting operated at low radio frequencies by the NCRA (National Centre for Radio Astrophysics) established by the TIFR (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research).
Variety of activities is organized by the NCRA and GMRT at the ceremony of national science day celebration in order to recognize their leading research activities in the field of radio astronomy and astrophysics.
