This has led to learning losses among learners especially in the rural pockets of the State. As a result, the Education Department has given utmost priority to the two most vulnerable age groups namely, children at elementary level, where learning loss can limit educational progress most and learners transitioning from upper primary to secondary education. To ensure continuous and minimum levels learning, the Directorate of Educational research & Training (DERT) developed the Adjusted Academic Calendar (AAC) for Classes I – V in close consultation with schoolteachers. The rationalised Academic Calendar is to be implemented in all MBOSE affiliated schools of Meghalaya for the session 2020-21. The AAC has been worked out around the Learning Outcomes (LOs) developed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), New Delhi in 2017 and coded by the DERT in 2020. It is to be noted that the Learning Outcomes are now mandatory in the teaching- learning process in all schools with the amendment of the Meghalaya RTE Act 2009 State Rules of the State and notification No.EDN/RTE- 196/2012/182 dt.

  • National Development and Economic Transition Under International Governance: the Case of East Timor
    Revised August 22 2000 National development and economic transition under international governance: the case of East Timor Jorge Braga de Macedo Institute of Tropical Research and Nova University at Lisbon José Braz TEcFinance Ltd, Lisbon Rui Sousa Monteiro Nova University at Lisbon Introduction East Timor evolved as a nation over several centuries, with a strong spiritual identity making up for colonial neglect. The occupation by neighboring Indonesia also contributed to solidify the national identity of East Timor. In their intervention over the past year, international agencies have been slow in recognizing that this is an asset for the democratic governance of the new state that is unique in post-conflict situations. Ignoring this initial condition of national development can have adverse consequences for the choice of an economic transition path. In the current international governance setup, military intervention may already have been excessive relative to the empowerment of the CNRT (National Council for Timorese Resistance). The consequence was a waste of time and financial resources. The fact that East Timor already existed as a nation obviates the need for the manifestations of economic nationalism usually present in recently constituted nation- states. In their strategy for national development, democratically elected authorities can avoid the temptation to create an autonomous currency, to nationalize significant economic sectors or to implement other protectionist measures. Such a national development strategy has direct implications on fiscal policy. Without a need to finance heavy government intervention in economic life, tax design can be guided by principles of simplicity and have relatively low rates. Rather than relying on a complex progressive personal and corporate tax collection system, the royalties from oil and gas exploration can then perform the distributive functions.

  • Role of Regional Political Parties and Formation of the Coalition Governments in Meghalaya Mr
    International Journal of Humanities & Social Science Studies (IJHSSS) A Peer-Reviewed Bi-monthly Bi-lingual Research Journal ISSN: 2349-6959 (Online), ISSN: 2349-6711 (Print) Volume-III, Issue-V, March 2017, Page No. 206-218 Published by Scholar Publications, Karimganj, Assam, India, 788711 Website: http://www.ijhsss.com Role of Regional Political Parties and Formation of the Coalition Governments in Meghalaya Mr. Antarwell Warjri Ph.D Research Scholar, Department of Political Science; William Carey University, Shillong, Meghalaya, India Abstract Regional unevenness is one of the main reasons responsible for the emergence of the regional political parties in the state of Meghalaya. Other responsible factors that led to the emergence of the regional political parties in the state were the presence of multi-cultures, multi-languages, factionalism, personality cult, and demand for Autonomy. Another important factor was that of the negligence of the national parties in the development of the region and the ever-increasing centralized tendency has become the primary reasons for the emergence of regional political parties in the state. This investigation tries to draw out reasons on the evolution of regional political parties in Meghalaya The study had examined and evaluated the emergence of regional political parties, programmes, role and their contribution to the formation of Coalition Government in Meghalaya during the period from 1972-2013. The idea of Coalition is an act of uniting into one body or to grow together. Meghalaya was inevitable from the detrimental effect of Coalition Government because no single political party is able to secure a working majority in the house on account of the presence of the multi party system.

    IASBABA.COM 2018 IASBABA [IASBABA’S 60 DAYS PLAN-COMPILATION (GEOGRAPHY)] Born with the vision of “Enabling a person located at the most remote destination a chance at cracking AIR 1 in IAS”. IASbaba’s 60 Days Plan – (Geography Compilation) 2018 Q.1) Consider the following. 1. Himalayas 2. Peninsular Plateau 3. North Indian Plains Arrange the following in chronological order of their formations. a) 1-3-2 b) 2-1-3 c) 2-3-1 d) 3-2-1 Q.1) Solution (b) The oldest landmass, (the Peninsula part), was a part of the Gondwana land. The Gondwana land included India, Australia, South Africa, South America and Antarctica as one single land mass. The northward drift of Peninsular India resulted in the collision of the plate with the much larger Eurasian Plate. Due to this collision, the sedimentary rocks which were accumulated in the geosyncline known as the Tethys were folded to form the mountain system of western Asia and Himalayas. The Himalayan uplift out of the Tethys Sea and subsidence of the northern flank of the peninsular plateau resulted in the formation of a large basin. In due course of time this depression, gradually got filled with deposition of sediments by the rivers flowing from the mountains in the north and the peninsular plateau in the south. A flat land of extensive alluvial deposits led to the formation of the northern plains of India. Do you know? Geologically, the Peninsular Plateau constitutes one of the ancient landmasses on the earth’s surface. It was supposed to be one of the most stable land blocks.

  • Urban Development
    MMEGHALAYAEGHALAYA SSTATETATE DEVELOPMENTDEVELOPMENT RREPORTEPORT CHAPTER VIII URBAN DEVELOPMENT 8.1. Introducti on Urbanizati on in Meghalaya has maintained a steady growth. As per 2001 Census, the state has only 19.58% urban populati on, which is much lower than the nati onal average of 28%. Majority of people of the State conti nue to live in the rural areas and the same has also been highlighted in the previous chapter. As the urban scenario is a refl ecti on of the level of industrializati on, commercializati on, increase in producti vity, employment generati on, other infrastructure development of any state, this clearly refl ects that the economic development in the state as a whole has been rather poor. Though urbanizati on poses many challenges to the city dwellers and administrators, there is no denying the fact that the process of urbanizati on not only brings economic prosperity but also sets the way for a bett er quality of life. Urban areas are the nerve centres of growth and development and are important to their regions in more than one way. The current secti on presents an overview of the urban scenario of the state. 88.2..2.
