My heartiest congratulations and best wishes to all the successful candidates for a fruitful and professionally satisfying career in service of the people. 5th August 2020 signifies an important and historic moment for the Country with the Prime Minister NarendraModi performing BhoomiPujan and laying a foundation stone for construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya thereby bringing down curtains on almost five centuries old dispute and litigation. The Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi dispute has its genesis in the mosque built by Babar in 1528. The Hindus have always been claiming that the Mosque was built atop the ruins of Ram Temple which was also the birth place of lord Rama. It was in 1859, the British Officials erected a fence to separate the places of worships, allowing the inner court to be used by the Muslims and the outer court by Hindus. A suit was filed in the Faizabad District Court in the year 1885 by MahantRaghubir Das seeking permission to build a Temple on Ram Chabootra but the same was rejected after an year. Since then, numerous claims and counter claims were made by both the communities in various courts of law seeking possession of the property. 6th December proved to be a turning point of the entire dispute when Babri mosque was razed to the ground by the ‘KarSewaks’ which triggered communal riots between Hindus and Muslims all over the country in which more than 2000 people died. The litigation continued throughout in various Courts and after exhausting all avenues of reaching an amicable solution to the dispute through mediation, a five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice RanjanGogoi delivered a judgment on 9th Nov, 2019 ordering setting up of a trust to pave the way for construction of a temple at Ayodhya and also ordered allotting 5 acres of land for construction of a Mosque. Ushering in major reforms in Education, the Union Cabinet approved and announced a New Education Policy on 29th July 2020 with an aim to overhaul the Country’s education system. The NEP 2020 aims at making “India a global knowledge superpower”. An NEP is a comprehensive framework to guide the development of education in the Country. The need for a policy was first felt in 1964 and the first NEP came in 1968 and the second in 1986. The Second NEP was revised in 1992 and the third NEP has been just announced by the present Government. The NEP proposes sweeping changes including opening up Indian Higher education to foreign universities, dismantling of the UGC and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), introduction of a four-year multidisciplinary undergraduate programme with multiple exit options and discontinuation of the M Phil programme. In school education, the policy focuses on overhauling the curriculum, “easier” Board exams, a reduction in the syllabus to retain “core essentials” and thrust on “experiential learning and critical thinking”. In a significant shift from the 1986 policy which envisaged a 10+2 structure of school education, the new NEP pitches for a ”5+3+3+4” design corresponding to the age groups 3-8 years (foundation stage), 8-11 (preparatory), 11-14 (middle) and 14- 18 (secondary). This brings early childhood education under the ambit of formal schooling. The mid-day meal programme will be extended to pre-school children and students until Class 5 should be taught in their mother tongue or regional language. The policy also proposes phasing out of all institutions offering single streams and that all Universities and Colleges must aim to become multidisciplinary by 2040. The NEP only provides a broad direction and is not mandatory to follow. Since education is in the Concurrent list, the proposed reforms can only be implemented collaboratively the Centre and the States that too over a period of time and subject to availability of adequate funds which infact adversely affected the 1968 NEP. COVID-19 continues to be a serious concern all over the world with US and Brazil leading followed by India as the third worst-affected by the Pandemic and has been reporting a higher daily surge in caseload for the past 12 days. India crossed 25.89 lakh infections with over 49,000 Covid-linked deaths. However, with sharply falling CASE FATALITY RATE below 2%, India has one of the lowest #COVID19 mortality globally, as the Ministry of Health, Govt of India. Globally, the scientists are leaving no stone unturned for discovery of vaccine and are at different stages of testing. Russia already announced discovery of vaccine and the Indian PM during his address to the nation on the occasion of 74th Independence Day on 15th August, said that three coronavirus vaccines are at different stages of testing in India and the government has a plan to ensure that a vaccine, when approved, reaches every Indian. On behalf of EXCEL CIVILS ACADEMY, I wish you all a very happy Eid al-Adha (1st August), Raksha Bandhan (3rd August), Janmashtami (11 August), 74th Independence Day (15th August). With the CS Prelims exams date (4th October 2020) fast approaching, I am sure, all of you are fully geared up to face the examination boldly with confidence. The key to success is consistency, determination and hardwork coupled with proper time management and solving as many past question papers as possible. We, at EXCEL CIVILS ACADEMY, are always available to you for any kind of support and guidance. Best wishes. K. Rajendra Kumar IPS (Retd.) Director. Table of Content 1. NATIONAL………………………………………………….

  • Chandra Shekahr Azad
    Chandra Shekahr Azad drishtiias.com/printpdf/chandra-shekahr-azad Why in News On 23rd July, India paid tribute to the freedom fighter Chandra Shekahr Azad on his birth anniversary. Key Points Birth: Azad was born on 23rd July 1906 in the Alirajpur district of Madhya Pradesh. Early Life: Chandra Shekhar, then a 15-year-old student, joined a Non-Cooperation Movement in December 1921. As a result, he was arrested. On being presented before a magistrate, he gave his name as "Azad" (The Free), his father's name as "Swatantrata" (Independence) and his residence as "Jail". Therefore, he came to be known as Chandra Shekhar Azad. 1/2 Contribution to Freedom Movement: Hindustan Republican Association: After the suspension of the non- cooperation movement in 1922 by Gandhi, Azad joined Hindustan Republican Association (HRA). HRA was a revolutionary organization of India established in 1924 in East Bengal by Sachindra Nath Sanyal, Narendra Mohan Sen and Pratul Ganguly as an offshoot of Anushilan Samiti. Members: Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Sukhdev, Ram Prasad Bismil, Roshan Singh, Ashfaqulla Khan, Rajendra Lahiri. Kakori Conspiracy: Most of the fund collection for revolutionary activities was done through robberies of government property. In line with the same, Kakori Train Robbery near Kakori, Lucknow was done in 1925 by HRA. The plan was executed by Chandrashekhar Azad, Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, Rajendra Lahiri, and Manmathnath Gupta. Hindustan Socialist Republican Association: HRA was later reorganised as the Hindustan Socialist Republican Army (HSRA). It was established in 1928 at Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi by Chandrasekhar Azad, Ashfaqulla Khan, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar and Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee.

  • Urbanisation and Growth of Small Towns in Assam, India
    URBANISATION AND GROWTH OF SMALL TOWNS IN ASSAM, INDIA. Rinku Manta Research Scholar, Deptt. Of Geography Guwahati University Assam, India. [email protected] Dr. Jnanshree Borah, Associate Professor, Deptt. Of Geography Arya Vidyapeeth College Dr.Jayashree Bora, Associate Professor, Deptt. Of Geography, Cotton College Guwahati. INTRODUCTION:- Urbanisation is the process by which an increasing proportion of the country’s population starts residing in urban areas. “Understanding of Urbanisation” (Jha, 2006), the term is related to the core concern of Urban Geography. It stands for the study of Urban Concentration and Urban phenomena. By Urban Concentration what is meant in the different forms of urban setting; and by urban phenomena we mean all those processes that contribute to the development of urban centers and their resultant factors. Thus the scope of the term is certainly comprehensive. (Mallick, 1981) According to Census an urban area was determined based on two important criteria, namely: (i) statutory administration; (ii) certain economic and demographic indicators. The first criterion includes civic status of towns, and the second entails characteristics like population size, density of population, and percentage of the workforce in the non-agricultural sector. (Khawas V. 2002) India shares most characteristic features of urbanisation in the developing countries. Number of urban agglomeration /town has grown from 1827 in 1901 to 5161 in 2001. Out of the total 5161 towns in 2001, 3800 are statutory towns and 1361 are census towns. The number of statutory towns and census towns in 1991 was 2987 and 1702 respectively. The number of total population has increased from 23.84 crores in 1901 to 102.7 crores in 2001 whereas number of population residing in urban areas has increased from 2.58 crores in 1901 to 28.53 crore in 2001.
