Educational Reforms by Kapil Sibal

One politician who really knows what he is doing and how best that can be done is Kapil Sibal...No doubt his intellect is taking over his intelligence as he drafts the latest Educational Reforms in India after he took over the Ministry of Human Resources development. 3 major decisions that would impact the most important human resources of our Future India- Our Children.

1. Making the 10th standard CBSE examination optional and making it a performance and grade oriented system
2. Bringing in a uniform pattern of evaluation for both engineering and medicine entrance
3. Best of all- No Pre school till the age of four.

With these reforms in place, there is lot more expected from him to continue bringing in a better Educational System in India.

1. Curb the practice of building funds and huge capitation and donations for school and college admissions

2. Streamline college elections and competitions without any political involvement

3. Put a regulatory authority to monitor exhoribant educational expenses

4. Bringing in more recent methods of teaching, enabling Government Schools to become primary educational institutions in India

5. Improving salaries and infrastructure supporting teachers well-beings

6. Building proper schools and libraries in Rural India making education within reach of common man across India

7. Adult education for illiterate Indians to be at mass scale to make India, the most educated Nation in the world.

If these few steps are taken, India not only will prove as the hub for knowledge and development but will also stand tall in terms of growth and economic well being. We need lot more Kapil Sibals' in the process to make this happen sooner than later!

A Dream House !


The Beauty of this imagination is that when I actually went to Michigan and found a place as similar to my age old imagination.....Cant believe it myself. Interestingly, I found the tall chirstmas trees..wooden houses...lots of snow...but not the horse driven carriage! May be next time!

Treasure Hunt- My age old sketches and paintings



While searching for something, found something so interesting. Almost an 18 year old rough notes with Maths and Hindi inbetween stored within its pages some seriously forgotten art of my school days....It was really nice to find them, especially the Geeta Upadesh... ironically, as I keep attending Swami Parthasarathy's speech and explanation of Chapter 16 from Bhagavat Geetha whole of this week at Kamaraj Memorial....this was quite a coincidence!
