the new student.

This is a new development in the college that A.K. Gupta sir (full time) is new H.O.D. of Civil end Env. Engineering. Alas! there are some problems associated with this, firstly, he is very less known among our faculty members and students as a professor and secondly because of his extra kind and patient nature ( lovingly known as Gauu among students); this encourages our old H.O.D. to not to give him proper regard as a H.O.D. and also, he has not vacated the room allocated to Gupta sir.
There was a funny incident on 22nd April class when a dog came in the class may be to avoid the heat outside and get fresh air conditioned atmosphere (not to study..lol).
as Sir refused to oust this beautiful creature, Narendra had to show his skills. He kicked it and made it run away. Narendra should change his name, I guess because it does not suite him.

Monday, classes of 5th April

Today we went for the classes and attended Gupta Sir's class again and got attendance in Kongan Sir's class also; though no class was held for the latter. Then we called him up for our project and he told us to contact him at 5 PM but even at 5 PM we couldn't find him. Then I called and got the same answer that we should choose the topic first, but the funny thing is that this is the toughest part of the project because all the jargon that we have to write or we have to explain later will be based on this thing only. The success and failure of the project depend on the title of the project ( that how much it can be dignified).
Anyways, we hope that this thing will pass on like our 4 years did. There is a fear among hostellers that we can be expelled from hostels if "SINE DIE" is imposed in college and that will be horrible as outsider students don't have any choice but to turn to their homes; but I don't wanna do that. Big exam is coming, you see. ;)

Let's see what happens.

Universalisation of Primary Education in India

This is a bit late but utterly welcomed move of the government. It should have come much earlier. Now the major challenge before the government is to improve the quality of public schools and to abridge the gap between private school educated and government school educated students.
The percentage allocation in budget for education should be increased as even the failed states like Zimbabwe happened to have greater literacy rates than that of India; and that too after India having such relaxed norms for a person to be counted as literate. The real situation will come to fore only when it will be made mandatory for a literate person to read, write and understand any of the official languages.
It will be a right move for NGOs to come forward and firstly make the poor families aware about free elementary education and it's future benefits.
