Higher Education Summit 2012 ‘Improving Quality of Higher Education to Drive Goa’S Economy’ 0900 Hrs : 14 December 2012 : Tango Hall - Vivanta by Taj – Panaji Goa Government of Goa Associate Partner Higher Education Summit 2012 ‘Improving Quality of Higher Education to drive Goa’s Economy’ 0900 hrs : 14 December 2012 : Tango Hall - Vivanta by Taj – Panaji Goa FINAL PROGRAMME Goa is a small state with high literacy and GDP of near 3500$. The economy is however in the primary and value add stage, be it in manufacture or services sector. The younger generation, nearly 22000 who enter the job market each year, aspire for well paying jobs and these are not easily available in the state today. The problems faced by Primary activities such as mining are troubling the state economy. The solution is to train our students to be eligible for more than Rs. 2.0 lakhs p.a. jobs and attract better industries that use them to make Products, lead Research and Development and Innovation. It is these sectors that will meet the aspiration of our young generation and also meet with approval from the Goan people at large. Goa needs to move beyond ~50% graduate enrollment to skill them better as in OECD countries to help drive our economy to higher added value. To move our higher education system to this path, CII has organized the Summit as we believe that Goa has to offer better quality learning to the students, to keep progressing sustainably. 1000 Hrs Inaugural Session 0900 Hrs Registration 0945 Hrs Delegates to be seated 0955 Hrs Arrival of the Honorable Chief Minister, Government of Goa 0957 Hrs Arrival of His Excellency, Governor of Goa 0959 Hrs Playing of the National Anthem 1000 Hrs Welcome Address Mr. Anil Kher Chairman, CII Goa Council & MD, Micro Interconnexion Pvt Ltd 1010 Hrs Special Address Mr. Keshav Chandra IAS Secretary Education, Govt. of Goa 1020 Hrs Address by Mr. Manohar Parrikar Honourable Chief Minister of Goa 1035 Hrs Inaugural Address by Mr Bharat Vir Wanchoo His Excellency Governor of Goa 1050 Hrs Vote of Thanks Mr. Atul Pai Kane Vice Chairman CII Goa Council & MD, Power Engineering (India) Pvt Ltd 1054 Hrs Playing of the National Anthem 1055 Hrs Tea Coffee Break • Mr Bharat Vir Wanchoo His Excellency Governor of Goa Inaugural Address by His Excellency Governor of Goa Shri Bharat Vir Wanchoo is an Indian Police Service Officer of the 1976 batch.

The Indian economy has transformed itself in last three decades. The major reasons being the industries and businesses have realized the importance of embracing the globalization and thus have changed the organizational and operational structures. The critical component for remaining at fore front of global competition is the innovative human power structure that is able to assimilate and continuously readjust itself with ever emerging international challenges. The Indian education system which plays a vital role in creating trained graduate in various disciplines is still locked itself with good old academic and governance structures. For last six decades the Indian higher education system continues to be a bad replica of rigid and non-responsive entity, thus neither producing responsive graduates that are able to meet the expectations of the industries nor cultivating fertile minds that think of original R & D innovations in knowledge domain per say. To break these shackles of traditional educational structures it is necessary to think of “Out of Box Solutions”. Goa is a small but potentially rich State who’s youth aspires to be a part of “knowledge-linked- economy”. The challenge is to create very flexible and open education structures that are able to go organically from the existing structures. The session would addresses these challenges by deliberating on clever and innovative ideas to make the Higher Education system more fertile and vibrant to produce globally competitive skilled and knowledgeable human power thus making Goa a preferred destination for investments in various domains that are the strengths of our nature-bestowed region. 1115 Hrs Context Setting by Session Prof. Arun Nigavekar Moderator Ex Chairman UGC 1125 Hrs Sharing experiences of autonomy Prof. Anil Sahasrabudhe Director COEP 1135 Hrs Speedy change of Curriculum and Prof K R Anupama benchmarking HOD, E&EE, BITS Pilani 1140 Hrs E-learning for better quality Dr. Satish Shetye Vice Chancellor Goa University 1155 Hrs Panel discussion Q & A / Summing Prof. Arun Nigavekar, Ex Chairman UGC up by the Moderator Mr. Keshav Chandra IAS Secretary Education, GoG Dr.

  • Corruption in India: Bridging Research Evidence and Policy Options
    Corruption in India: Bridging Research Evidence and Policy Options Sandip Sukhtankar1 Milan Vaishnav2 April 27, 2015 Abstract Corruption has become an increasingly salient issue in India today, spawning both enormous interest from the media as well as a large amount of academic research. Yet there is a large gap between what has captured the media’s attention, the policy options under discussion, and the actual evidence base drawn from empirical research on corruption. We attempt to bridge this gap, directly addressing the particular challenges that corruption in India poses. Academic evidence supports the popular perception that corruption is widespread and endemic. However, we find that the costs of day-to-day corruption are just as large, if not larger, than those of the “scams” that dominate headlines. Further, we find that there is very little evidence to support the idea that greater transparency, information, and community based efforts have a significant impact on reducing corruption on their own. This is also true for some technological interventions, although those interventions – like direct benefit transfers – that bypass middlemen and corrupt officials have a much greater scope for success, as do interventions that transfer bargaining power to citizens and beneficiaries. We find much to commend in the sensible and wide-ranging legislative agenda to combat corruption, including the Right to Service and Public Procurement bills. However, what is most important for combating corruption is not the law on paper but the implementation of the law; the binding constraint, as always, is the government’s desire and ability to punish corrupt officials and politicians.

Chauhan on his superannuation, the CJI said “the segregation of Mr. Gopal Subramanium’s name was done unilaterally by the Executive without my knowledge and concurrence which was not proper.” · Referring to the appointment controversy, the CJI said: “This is one subject which is non-negotiable.

  • Constitution for India (Including the Now-Separate Countries of Pakistan and Bangladesh)
    INDIAN POLITY composition of constituent assembly Description The Constituent Assembly, consisting of indirectly elected representatives, was established to draft a constitution for India (including the now-separate countries of Pakistan and Bangladesh). It existed for almost three years, the first parliament of India after independence in 1947. The Assembly was not elected on the basis of universal adult suffrage, and Muslims and Sikhs received special representation as minorities. The Muslim League boycotted the Assembly after failing to prevent its creation. Although a large part of the Constituent Assembly was drawn from the Congress Party in a one-party environment, the Congress Party included a wide diversity of opinions—from conservative industrialists and radical Marxists to Hindu revivalists—all of whom participated in the process. The Assembly met for the first time in New Delhi on 9 December 1946, and its last session was held on 24 January 1950. During this period (two years, eleven months and eighteen days) the Assembly held eleven sessions, sitting for a total of 166 days. The hope of the Assembly was expressed by Jawaharlal Nehru: The first task of this Assembly is to free India through a new constitution, to feed the starving people, and to clothe the naked masses, and to give every Indian the fullest opportunity to develop himself according to his capacity. This is certainly a great task Look at India today. We, are sitting here and there in despair in many places, and unrest in many cities. The atmosphere is surcharged with these quarrels and feuds which are called communal disturbances, and unfortunately we sometimes cannot avoid them.
