    • Tavleen Singh Tags : Dr Manmohan Singh, Tamil tableau Posted: Sunday , May 24, 2009 at 0042 hrs

    It is time also to stop wasting taxpayers money on the government propaganda machine that was set up in the days when we slavishly emulated the Soviet Union. We must get rid of the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting and everything that goes with it including those silly Censor Board certificates on DVDs. There must be at least fifty government departments that can be done away with easily. They exist only because no Prime Minister so far has shown the courage to reform governance. Dr Manmohan Singh has the mandate to do what he wants on this front and a very efficient instrument in the form of a reinvented Planning Commission. Let him get on with it.

    Same old, same old...By: B Shah | 16-Jun-2009 Reply | Forward Sadly, we have voted for "same old, same old", so we will only get "same old, same old".Sadly, India can not progress while it keeps voting in the same party, same people, same ideas.Sadly, I can see India not changing much beyond its current attitude to everything from education to investment under the same old gov.
    EDUCATION AFTER 10TH STD.By: mjd | 24-May-2009 Reply | Forward IT IS HIGH TIME THAT WE IN INDIA START TAKING GOOD CONCEPTS FROM ENGLAND, USA AND OTHERS LIKE SINGAPORE, HONG KONG.1. BE FLEXIBLE. ENTRY TO HIGHER EDUCATION SHOULD BE BASED ON AGE ALONE AND NOT PASSING 10TH STD. MANY WHO ARE NOT SERIOUS WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG AND DO NOT STUDY HARD OR SUCCEED MAY WHEN THEY GROW DO BETTER AS THEY UNDERSTAND WORLD BETTER.2. TAKE TWO THREE SUBJECTS EVERY THREE MONTHS AND SPEED UP GETTING DEGREES. NO NEED TO PASS ALL SUBJECTS IN ONE STROKE.3. MAKE LEARNING FLEXIBLE HOURS AND RELAXED, ON LINE, DVDS, LIBRARIES, ETC. INTRODUCE TO MODERN GADGETS LIKE PC, MOBILE, EMAIL ETC IN ALL FACULTIES.4.ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO TAKE UP PART TIME JOBS TO HAVE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE.
    Mediocre Human resourcesBy: Dr.G.Srinivasan | 24-May-2009 Reply | Forward You have just placed the nail on the spot !!!You have not hit it on the head!!!!There is what "I"(My ego is bigger than even India ) call as councils galore-- not only AICTE, the Medical council, the dental council the pharmacists council, the UGC , and Veterianry council ,ICMR all are vestiges of what we borrowed from UK and have become places to block the education!!!!They are all corrupt too.This stands between the nation and progress!!!! The HRD for Human resources development thinks that developing the resources and making it accessible through reservation is the only job.The HRD ministry hardly knows how many scientists we have what are all fields of education the nation should have and where is the rest of the world moving towards etc.etc.It has that colonial mindset that they know everything .But the nation sulks in mediocrity and all the 1500 universities will be mediocre institutions at best without any contributions form Indians.The research in these fields is abysmally poor
