60 kids pack into 100 sq ft class!

What is your idea of a classroom in a school? If you are thinking 50 students listening to a teacher in a huge classroom, think again.
Mahatma Phule Prathmik Shala at Vijay Nagar is something different. Here, 60 students pack into a small 10×10 foot room and struggle to listen to the teacher.

The school has four rooms like this one and students literally fight with each other to get a seat. Their agony doesn’t stop here. The school lacks basic facilities like drinking water, toilets, power connection, and furniture. To run classes from I to IV standard, the school management reportedly divided one class room into two by constructing a two feet wall down the middle. “Running two classes in a single room creates confusion among the students as two different subjects are taught simultaneously,” admitted a teacher requesting anonymity.

The school runs in two shifts, one from 7 am to 12 noon and another from 12.30 pm to 5 pm. In morning shift, class I to IV are held with around 320 students (all residents of Vijay Nagar and Laxmi Nagar slums). In afternoon, around 60 students in Class V to VII attend the school.”The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan schemes may have improved the funding and infrastructure for government schools but schools such as the one in Vijay Nagar continue to be neglected,” said Razabhai Pathan, a social activist in the area. Moreover, the education department had also failed to check whether private unaided schools were providing all basic facilities.

This could be gauged with the example of this school. Students also complained that the nearby slum dwellers used the huge open space adjoining the school as toilets.

Oz Premier writes to Indian overseas students

South Australia Premier Mike Rann wrote to each of the 4,787 Indian overseas students enrolled in his state ensuring them a safe and a comfortable studying experience in Australia.
The recent attacks on Indian overseas students largely in Melbourne and Sydney was destabilizing the country’s second largest education export market.

“The ‘Training Advocate’ initiative, only one of its kind, is new and sounds like a good one,” says Ramasamy from Tamil Nadu.

The year 2008-2009 recorded a 79.4 Indian students growth.
The premier’s letter emphasises: “Your safety is of the highest importance and the police and other authorities are committed to protecting you and your rights ….I can assure you that any form of discrimination or violence against international students will not be tolerated.”

LaughingLaughing gas largest threat to Ozone layer gas largest threat to Ozone layer

Laughing gas or Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is the most abundant ozone-depleting substance in the 21st century as the emissions of CFC, another green house gas, has come down, a new study suggests.

“Although N2O is roughly 160th of Chloro-fluoro carbon (CFC)-11 in terms of ozone depleting potential, it has become the largest ozone depleting substance as Montreal Protocol has considerably reduced emission of others,” A R Ravishankara, Director Chemical Sciences Division, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA) USA, told PTI over phone.

 The research, which will be published in the latest issue of the Science magazine, studied N2O emissions through human activities especially by usage of fertilisers in agriculture.

“Our findings analyse the continuous emissions of N2O compared to that of Chloro fluoro carbon (CFC)-11 from anthropogenic source, especially agriculture, he said.

Speaking about the harmful effects of ozone depletion Ravishankara said, “The phenomenon of ozone depletion will increase the harmful UV radiation on earth, besides damage to infrastructure, plant life, among others.”

Using an atmospheric model ‘Garcia and Solomon 2 Dimensional model’, scientists at Earth System Research Laboratory NOAA, have calculated the ozone depletion potential of Nitrous Oxide as compared to other harmful chemicals at steady state.

Radio contact lost with Chandrayaan-I : ISRO

Radio contact with Chandrayaan-I spacecraft was abruptly lost at 1:30 a.m. on Saturday.

 Deep Space Network at Byalalu near Bangalore received the data from Chandrayaan-I during the previous orbit upto 12:25 a.m.
Detailed review of the Telemetry data received from the spacecraft is in progress and health of the spacecraft subsystems is being analyzed, said an ISRO press release.It may be recalled that Chandrayaan-I spacecraft was launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre Sriharikota on October 22, 2008.
The spacecraft has completed 312 days in orbit making more than 3400 orbits around the Moon and providing large volume of data from sophisticated sensors like Terrain Mapping Camera, Hyper-spectral Imager, Moon Mineralogy Mapper etc., meeting most of the scientific objectives of the mission.Last month, G Madhavan Nair, Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), had expressed satisfaction with the successful collection of data about the moon by Chandrayaan, country’s maiden lunar mission.
 Madhavan Nair told the Ninth convocation of the International Institute of Information and Technology at Bangalore that the tracking and detection of several factors by Chandrayaan are important steps in mapping the mineralogical composition of moon”’’s surface which in turn would enable further study in its origin and evolution.
 “I think I am happy to say that Chandrayaan has been completely successful in collecting all the data what we wanted. First was the three dimensional of the lunar surface, also getting the mineral content of the surface and then trying to use the extra instruments,” said Nair.

“All this went on very well and we are more or less very happy that the mission is complete,” he added.

Nair also added that the second moon mission would be launched by 2012.

Cabinet approves seven new IIMs

The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved the setting up of seven new Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) that will get operational in two phases.
.
Four IIMs would be set up in Trichy, Ranchi, Raipur and Rohtak in the first phase and the classes would start from the 2010-11 academic year.

The other three in Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan will get operational from 2011-12. The exact locations in these states are yet to be decided.

Briefing reporters here on the Cabinet decision, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni said an allocation of Rs 451 crore as non-recurring expenditure and Rs 118 crore as recurring expenditure has been sanctioned for the first phase.
