CBSE launches mass media studies after 10th class

Delhi's Tihar jail scores a 100% literacy

Ram Kishore (name changed), a former eatery worker, is waiting anxiously to flaunt his new skills before his wife and parents when he goes home from Tihar jail next year after serving his term for robbery. Kishore has acquired the skills of a class 3 student, being able to read 30 English 
or Hindi words in a minute, write 15 of them in 60 seconds, add or subtract numbers from zero to 1,000, and handle computers.
He’s one of 2,500 prisoners in Tihar identified as illiterate in a survey last April and introduced to the world of letters in one of the prison’s three-month teaching sessions conducted by instructors from the National Literacy Mission with the help of educated inmates.
With the likes of Kishore, Tihar has now achieved a rare feat for a facility of its kind — 100% literacy among inmates. “We have done this through our Padho Ya Padhao (Teach or Be Taught) project. When it began a year ago, there was around 40% illiteracy,” Tihar’s director general Neeraj Kumar told HT. “The project aims to reform criminals because an educated mind will reject crime,” he said.
After completing a literacy session, every inmate takes a test conducted and evaluated by officials from the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS).   
“All 2,500 inmates who passed the test were given a certificate declaring him or her to possess the educational skills of a class 3 student,” said Tihar’s law officer Sunil Gupta.
The literacy project involved Tihar’s 10 sub-jails being turned into classrooms for two hours every morning and evening.
The ongoing project will focus on new challenges in the future. “About 175 new inmates arrive in the jail everyday. Of them, about 20% are illiterate,” the DG said.

Orissa govt puts out list of ‘corrupt'

Kick-starting its plan to “name and shame” the people allegedly involved in corrupt deals, the Naveen Patnaik government on Monday posted online a list of persons facing graft cases.
Journalist Chandrabhanu Patnaik, the editor of a local television channel against whom a vigilance case was lodged in January 2009, features in the list put up on the state vigilance department’s website.
Orissa has become the first state to make public the names of people, government officials and others, facing corruption cases, vigilance department chief Surendra Panwar said.
The list has been further divided into Agreed List and Suspect List — like the Central Vigilance Commission, which had posted online a list of corrupt persons about two and a half years ago.
The Agreed List has 351 names and Suspect List 368, in all covering 14 government departments.
Those on the list include a member of Orissa Arbitration Tribunal, a former director of mines, contractor B Prabhakaran, miner Diptiranjan Patnaik, treasury officers, accounts officers, traffic inspectors, motor vehicle inspectors, regional transport officers, and even several clerks.
“Persons enlisted in the Suspect List and Agreed List would be closely watched by both the Vigilance and their departments and their postings would be regulated and monitored. But promotion and posting for the officers in the Suspect List are restricted,” Panwar said.
To identify the alleged corrupt officers, the Vigilance sleuths have dug up information regarding the cases they have faced, been chargeheeted in, and tried for over the last 20 years, Panwar added.
The move to publish the names, however, has not impressed corruption watchdog Transparency International India. “Since the names of officers who were supposed to be monitored is out in the open... thereby taking out the surprise value,” said Biswajit Mohanty, board member
of Transparency International India. He alleged that despite specific complaints to the chief minister about lack of sanction to prosecute seven Orissa cadre IAS officers for alleged corruption, the state government has refused to give sanction in case of two of them — S N Tripathy and Injeti Srinivas.
Some cases are pending for more than five years and the accused officers continue to enjoy prized postings in critical government departments with budgets of more than Rs 2,000 crores, Mohanty alleged. “The CM is protecting senior IAS officers accused of corruption by failing to accord sanction within the mandatory two months period as per guidelines issued by the General Administration Department,” he alleged.

Another student commits suicide over Telangana

WARANGAL: An 18-year old engineering student allegedly committed suicide over demand for statehood for Telangana, police said on Monday. 

According to police, this is the third incident in the district in the past 10 days, in which, a student killed himself over the controversial issue. 

The victim, identified as Sambari Naveen, was a first-year engineering student of Charistu Jyothi Engineering College in Jangaon. 

According to police, the victim hanged himself at his residence in Tarigoppula village ofNarmetta Mandal of Warangal district. Police also found a suicide note at the crime site, in which, Naveen mentioned that he was committing suicide for the cause of separate Telangana, police said. 

On March 24, an MBA student from the same district had ended his life over the separateTelangana demand. 

Another 23-year-old youth from the district had committed suicide over "inaction" on part of politicians from the region in pursuing the cause, sources said.

US announces $10 million bounty on Lashkar chief's head

NEW DELHI: India's tormentor-in-chief Hafiz Saeed, the head of Pakistan's deadliest terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, now carries a $10 million bounty on his head. The US has announced this reward for the capture or information leading to the capture of Saeed, making him one of the most wanted terrorists in the world.

In her maiden visit to India, US undersecretary of state Wendy Sherman told Indian officials and a select audience at the Aspen Institutethat apart from Saeed, his brother-in-law and co-founder of Lashkar Abdul Rehman Makkinow carries a bounty of $3 million on his head.

LeT, and principally Saeed, are accused of planning and executing the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai with the help of Pakistan's spy agency, ISI. Under Saeed's watch, Lashkar has grown to become a terror group that rivals al-Qaida in its reach and lethality. Although primarily focused against India, LeT, which has links with the ISI (some claim it has been nurtured by it) has reached European and Australian shores.

The US has $25 million on the head of Ayman al Zawahiri, the head of Qaida after the killing ofOsama bin Laden, making him the most wanted terrorist in the world. Saeed is in the second rung - he joins the ranks of Mullah Omar and the Qaida chiefs of Iran and Iraq, all of whom carry a reward of $10 million.

Manmohan to visit Myanmar next month, Suu Kyi hails victory of people

NEW DELHI: Amid Myanmar's strides towards full democracy, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is expected to undertake a visit to that country next month that is aimed at bolstering the bilateral ties. Singh is expected to go on a two-day visit dates for which are being finalised through diplomatic channels, sources said here on Monday. 

The visit will take place at a time whenMyanmar is moving towards democracy, with pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi winning byelections yesterday and set to enter Parliament. 

Over the last few years, India has been developing its relations with Myanmar with which it shares a long border. 

India strongly resisted the US and Western countries which were pushing it to implement the sanctions and speak up on human rights violations in Myanmar two years back. 

New Delhi always maintained that Myanmar's military rulers should be persuaded to move towards democracy through dialogue rather than coercion which prove counterproductive. 

India is actively involved in over a dozen projects in Myanmar, both in infrastructural and non-infrastructural areas. 

These include upgradation and resurfacing of the 160km long Tamu-Kalewa-Kalemyo road, construction and upgradation of the Rhi-Tiddim Road in Myanmar and the Kaladan Multimodal Transport Project. 

Aung San Suu Kyi hopes victory is dawn of new era 

Myanmar election officials confirmed today that Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition party had won a landslide victory in historic by-elections, with the democracy icon saying she hopes the vote marks the beginning of a new era for the long-repressed country. 

Before the official announcement, Suu Kyi spoke to thousands of cheering supporters who gathered outside her party's headquarters a day after the party declared she had won a parliamentary seat in yesterday's closely watched vote. 

"The success we are having is the success of the people," Suu Kyi said, as a sea of supporters chanted her name and thrust their hands into the air to flash "V'' for victory signs. 

Later, the state election commission confirmed that her National League for Democracy party had swept to a victory that will put it at the head of a small opposition bloc in the military-dominated parliament. 

State radio and television reported the commission's announcement that the NLD had won 40 of the 45 seats at stake. 

Results from five constituencies in remote areas were not yet reported. 

The NLD's own count gave it 43 seats, while it awaited results from one constituency in distant Shan State. 

It failed to contest one constituency after its candidate was disqualified. 

"It is not so much our triumph as a triumph of the people who have decided that they have to be involved in the political process in this country," Suu Kyi said. "We hope this will be the beginning of a new era." 

The Nobel Peace laureate will take public office for the first time and lead the small bloc of lawmakers from the NLD in parliament, where it will hold just about 6 percent of the seats.
