"For the first time in the history of our country, the government of India has allowed our institutions to tie up with foreign institutions for degree programs for undergraduate courses," Irani said in the fourth convocation of the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Kolkata, at Mohanpur campus in Nadia district. This means, the students will now have the choice in doing two semesters in foreign institution in undergraduate courses and also one semester in postgraduate courses. The final transcript and certificate presented to the student upon graduation shall mention the name of both parent and foreign institutions. Indian educational institutions which enter into academic tie-ups with foreign institutes will have to ensure that students who opt for these courses will study at least one semester for post-graduate degrees and two semesters for under-graduate degrees abroad. Under the previous norms, only foreign institutes could seek permission for academic collabora- tions. Now, the UGC has decided that the highest graded Indian institutions can engage in academic collaboration with foreign educational institutions of highest grade in their country or those who have crossed the threshold limit. The norms, which will soon be notified, also specify a minimum degree of collaboration as per which at least one semester for post-graduate degrees and two semesters for under-graduate degrees have been specified. A window of one year has been provided for institutes, which already have a global partnership, to get their pacts approved by UGC, the HRD minister said.

  • Chapter-Ii Historical Background of Public Schools
    C H APTER -II HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2.0 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS The purpose of this chapter is to give an account of historical back­ ground of Public Schools, both in England and in India. It is essential to know the origin and development of Public Schools in England, as Public Schools in India had been transplanted from England. 2.1 ORIGIN OF THE TERM PUBLIC SCHOOL The term 'Public School' finds its roots in ancient times. In ancient time kings and bishops used to run the schools for the poor. No fee was charged. All used to live together. It was a union of 'classes'. The expenses were met by public exchequer. Thus the name was given to these schools as Public Schools. 2.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF FIRST PUBLIC SCHOOLS William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester established 'Saint Marie College' at Winchester in 1382. This foundation made a crucial departure from previous practice and thus, has a great historical importance. All the previous schools had been ancillary to other establishments; they Kod been established as parts of cathedrals, collegiate churches, monasteries, chantries, hospitals or university colleges. The significance of this college is its independent nature. 17 Its historian, A.F. Leach says "Thus for the first time a school was established as a sovereign and independent corporation, existing by and for itself, self-centered and self-governed."^ The foundation of Winchester College is considered to be the origin of the English Public School because of three conditions: 1. Pupils were to be accepted from anywhere in England (though certain countries had priority).

At that time, there were extremely draconian laws in place, and the onerous task of organizing was so fraught with risk that it was only undertaken by committed political activists.

  • May-June 2013 HIHT News
    HIHT News Founder: H.H. Dr. Swami Rama To be Committed to Something Means to Do It with Full Dedication and Sincerity Patanjali says, ahimsa pratishthayam tat samniddhau vairatyagah (When one is firmly established in ahimsa, others let go of any hostility in that person’s presence). If you sincerely follow ahimsa with mind, action and speech, even the most ferocious animal will become calm and quiet in your presence. Many yogis practising in the deep forests of the jungle have experienced this phenomenon. When you have no desire or thought to kill any animal, why should an animal want to kill you? If you are truly established in ahimsa, you will radiate love and no one will hurt you. Animals, even the deadliest of snakes and the most vicious animals, will transform into loving creatures before you. If you are not afraid, you will not invite danger. I can give you one example from my own experience: When I was just eleven years of age, Rishikesh was very different than it is today. At that time it was not polluted or crowded and it was mostly forests. One day after taking a dip in the Ganges, my master took me to the nearby Virbhadra temple to meditate. I was still a child, so naturally I kept opening and closing my eyes after every few minutes. Once when I opened my eyes I was horrified to see a cobra sitting just one meter away from me! My Lord, I became so afraid! I closed my eyes again and tried to meditate, but I could only meditate on the cobra.

    AWARD INDIA | Year 20 - Issue 1 - March 2016 | THE INTERNATIONAL AWARD FOR YOUNG PEOPLE From the Editor’s Desk Dear Readers, It has been a full year since we have returned from the International Gold Event in Seoul, Korea. All the Youth Representatives have been handed over important responsibilities. This has made it possible for us to remain connected to Youth representatives from around the world. But what is more important to achieve through such exercises is to realize that the Award Programme is global in nature. Often times while discussing about issues that we are facing on a regular basis, we regular that India's internal Problems are quite similar to problems that youth are facing all over the world. For people who are involves, most days go past by their thinking that they are not being heard. Maybe it is true. But maybe it is not. Over the past few months, in several conversations with students and Award Participants from all over the country, I realized that the Award programme provides a very effective medium for the youth to feel worthy and channelize their restless energy. Through stories that have come in for this issue of Award India and others that we couldn't cover here, we could like to thank all our youth participants for working hard towards building a strong nation.

When you go to register yourself for a UID or Adhaar card, you consciously carry some extra money to jump the queue. When you get stopped by a police officer for speeding, the first thing that comes out of your wallet is a 500 Rupee note, not your driving license. When you sit down with your friends and family, the immediate topic of discussion is the ineptitude of our current government and how India is going to the dogs. Investor confidence is drooping drastically and all we do is curse the government. Women simply cannot go out after sunset in our country, and men can ride around on their motorbikes and shout expletives, late into the night. The aforemen- tioned statements embody the average Indian citizen’s opinion on India today. It is safe to say that our country has seen better days. However, the amount we all complain and curse our country is schocking. Though the common presumption is that these voices are usually unheard, the fact of the matter is that public opinion and psyche have a significant effect on how our country performs: politically, economically and socially. The nation’s voice is one riddled with cynicism and pessimistic views. We are always looking at the dark side of life. The media only informs the public about how several aspects are eating away at our country, and not how we are developing in other sectors in a genuine manner.
