SOCIAL ISSUES 1.1 National Policy Of Women 2016 Ministry of Women & Child Development (MWCD) has unveiled a draft National Policy for Women 2016, which will replace the National Policy for the Empowerment of Women, 2001. Apart from the safety issues, the draft also seeks to address the emerging challenges confronting Indian women. The policy is based on Pam Rajput Committee report set up by the MWCD in 2012. Salient Features Of The New Policy To create a society with women working as equal partners in all spheres of life. To develop a framework to ensure equal rights and opportunities for women. The draft has proposed to "improve access to pre-primary education, enrolment and retention of adolescent girls." To provide suitable benefits related to maternity and child care services. To improve child sex ratio (CSR). To carry out skill development and provide equal employment opportunities. The draft plans to increase women's participation in the political, administration, civil services and corporate boardrooms arena. To address all forms of violence against women. To make cyber space a safe place for women. It seeks to review the criminalisation of marital rape keeping women's rights in mind. To prevent trafficking at source, transit and destination areas for effective monitoring of the networks Review of personal and customary laws in accordance with the Constitutional provisions and many more. Operational Strategies To enable safety and security of women with the help of "One Stop Centres, Women Helpline, Mahila Police Volunteers, Reservation of women in police force, Panic buttons in mobiles, Surveillance mechanisms in public places." Current Affairs For 2017- (September 2016) Page 6 To create eco-systems to encourage entrepreneurship amongst women. This has been proposed to be done through podiums like Mahila E-Haat etc. Aiding women in workplace through "flexi timings, increased maternity leave, provision of child care/creches at workplace, life cycle health care facilities." In Favour Of Policy Identifying contemporary issues like the changing nature of gender roles in “the new millennium, and the dynamics of a rapidly changing global and national scenario” is laudable. Some of the measures like emphasis on collection of gender disaggregated data and redistribution of gender roles in the household as well as the workplace will help in combating the mentioned problem. This information will be useful for making policies that would have a positive effect on redistribution of traditionally compartmentalised gender roles. Criticism The National Policy for Women falls short of being truly a rights-based approach for policymaking. It continues to posit that women need to be protected and provided for. The objectives of the National Policy for Empowerment of Women 2001 and National Policy for Women 2016 are entirely similar. All of the nine objectives outlined in the 2001 policy form a part of the 2016 policy, almost identically worded. There are only two additional policy objectives in the 2016 document: one is logistical, concerned with monitoring evaluation and audit systems and the second is welfare-based, dealing with development and empowerment of women belonging to vulnerable and marginalised groups. The policy is progressive for recognising “single women” as a separate category requiring special attention. But it has to be seen how the MWCD perceives these single women. Will it restrict itself to catering to widows, deserted or separated women or will it recognise the aspirations of the new-age single woman who is career-oriented? It can only be hoped that the MWCD moves away from its stance where children are woven into the identity of single women and recognises this new category of independent working females. Most of the policy goals mentioned need inter-ministerial collaboration. Six of its seven priority areas are dependent on collaboration with other ministries—health, Current Affairs For 2017- (September 2016) Page 7 agriculture, environment, human resource and development, finance, labour, skill and development, information and broadcasting. For example, lack of cooperation from the finance ministry in making it mandatory for companies to reveal whether they have put in place an Internal Complaints Committee to inquire into sexual harassment complaints of women employees, was a major impediment in the successful implementation of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013 . For this ambitious policy to work, the MWCD needs to garner support from other ministries. The toughest challenge in policymaking, however, does not end in identifying pertinent issues, but in the implementation of the policy. Conclusion The concept of women empowerment has seen changes and in this context this policy document has rightly aimed at “re-scripting” women’s empowerment by following a “socially inclusive rights-based approach. However, the need of the hour is not a one-dimensional solution, but a multi- dimensional one encompassing every aspect of women empowerment. We should keep in mind that the distance from welfare to a rights-based model cannot be covered only by outlining contemporary issues.

    To develop 21st Century learners in a stimulating, caring and vibrant environment and empower them to achieve their personal and professional goals. 1. To Introduce Student Centered Learning 2. To Blend in Benchmark Assessment 3. To Inculcate Employability Skills 4. To Nurture Core Values INDIAN LANGUAGE SCHOOL 2019 - 2020 Innovation in Education Education is the base of every society. It is often said that what and how we learn in school determines who we become as individuals in life. Education determines our ability to communicate, solve problems, our interpersonal relationships and how we perceive the world around us. With the blending of technology in every walk of life there is a dire need for innovation in education to meet the challenges of the fast-changing and unpredictable globalized world. There is still a significant gap between the potential of modern education and what students actually learn at school. Many educators still practice rote and old ineffective methods of teaching and learning. The adoption and exploration of innovative ideas in education is often slow and the acceptability to the change is very low. Since the delivery by teacher and expectations of students is mismatched most of the students have short attention span during class, feel unengaged and resort to in disciplinary activities in classrooms. Integrating Art in learning gives diverse opportunities to learners and makes learning interesting ,engaging, faster and efficient. Facilitating learning based on different learning styles is yet another way to engage learners. Technology allows teachers to individualize lesson plans to different students and their unique styles of learning.

  • Nigeria Bilateral Relations
    BRIEF ON INDIA-NIGERIA BILATERAL RELATIONS Overall Relations: India and Nigeria enjoy warm, friendly and deep-rooted bilateral relations. India, with a population of 1.3 billion, and Nigeria, over 190 million, are large developing and democratic countries with multi-religious, multi-ethnic and multi-lingual societies. India as the largest democracy in the world and Nigeria as the largest in Africa, become natural partners. The struggle against colonialism and apartheid in the formative years after independence of the two countries laid strong foundation for the engagement of the two countries. India and Nigeria are playing an important role in the South-South Cooperation. In the multilateral organisations particularly United Nations, G77 and NAM, both countries have been articulating the voice of the developing world in a coordinated and effective manner. India established its Diplomatic House in Lagos in November 1958, two years before Nigeria became independent in 1960. Political contacts at the highest level were maintained during the last 60 years. The presence of a large Indian expatriate community of about 50,000, the largest in West Africa adds value to the importance of the long-standing relationship between the two countries. Bilateral Visits India’s first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s landmark visit to Nigeria in September 1962 and his interaction with Nigeria’s first Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa had created mutual goodwill, respect and friendship between the two countries and leaders. Two Nigerian Presidents visited India as the Chief Guests at India’s Republic Day i.e. in 1983 by President Shehu Shagari and in 2000 at India’s 50th Republic Day celebrations by President Olusegun Obasanjo.
