ஜெயலலிதா- கருணாநிதி இருவரும் மாறி மாறி சமச்சீர் கல்வியைப் போட்டுக் குழப்பிய குழப்பில், இரு மாதங்களாக பள்ளி மாணவர்கள் சந்தோஷமாக இருக்கிறார்கள். ( பெற்றோர்கள்தான் கவலையாக இருக்கிறார்கள். மார்க் வாங்கும் மெஷின்கள் துருப்பிடித்துப் போவிடுமோ என்ற கவலை).

பல மாணவர்களின் மகிழ்ச்சிக்கு, பாடப் புத்தகம் இல்லாதது மட்டும் காரணம் அல்ல. நீதிமன்ற உத்தரவு வந்து அரசு புத்தகங்கள் அனுப்பிவைக்கும்வரை வகுப்பில் என்ன பாடம் நடத்துவது என்ற பிரச்சினையை வெவ்வேறு பள்ளிகளில் ஆசிரியர்கள் வெவ்வேறு விதமாகத் தீர்த்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள். பல இடங்களில் மொழி இலக்கணம் நடத்தப்பட்டது. கணிதம், அறிவியல் பாடங்களில் அடிப்படை விஷயங்கள் மட்டும் நடத்தப்பட்டன. எப்படிப் பார்த்தாலும் நிறைய நேரம் எஞ்சியிருந்தது.

பல தனியார் பள்ளி ஆசிரியர்கள் இந்த நேரத்தை மாணவர்களின் கலை இலக்கிய ஆளுமை ஆற்றல்களை வளர்க்க உதவும் செயல்பாடுகளில் ஈடுபட்டார்கள். சொல்லப் போனால், பல பள்ளிகளில் இந்த சமயத்தில்தான் டிராயிங் மாஸ்டர்களுக்கெல்லாம் கொஞ்சம் மரியாதை கிடைத்தது.

பல பள்ளிகளில் நாடகம் சார்ந்த பயிற்சி விளையாட்டுகள் நடத்தப்பட்டன. இவை மாணவர்களின் உடல், மன வெளிப்பாடுகளுக்கு உதவும் பயிற்சிகள். என் பெரிய வருத்தமே, சமச்சீர் கல்வி குளறுபடி நடக்கவில்லையென்றால், இவற்றிற்கெல்லாம் நமது பள்ளிகளில் வாய்ப்பே இருக்காது என்ற நிலைமைதான். தேர்வில் மார்க் வாங்குவதற்கென்று மட்டுமே பாடம் நடத்தும் பாடத்திட்டம் அடுத்த வாரம் ஆரம்பமாகிவிடும். அதன்பிறகு இப்படி மாணவர்களின் முழுமையான மன, உடல் வளர்ச்சிக்கான விஷயங்கள் கொஞ்ச நஞ்சம் இருந்தவையும் மூட்டை கட்டித் தூக்கி எறியப்பட்டுவிடும்.

மேலை நாட்டு பள்ளிகளில் இப்படி இல்லை. கலை இலக்கியங்களில் பரிச்சயம் கொள்வது என்பது பாடத் திட்டத்தின் ஒரு பகுதியாக எப்போதும் இருக்கிறது. “பள்ளிக் கூடத்தில் ஏன் எல்லாருக்கும் இசை, நாடகம், ஓவியம், நடனம் எல்லாம் சொல்லித்தரவேண்டும் ? எல்லாருமா பாடகராகவும் நடிகராகவும் நாட்டியக்காரியாகவும் ஓவியராகவும் ஆகப் போகிறார்கள் ?” — என்ற அபத்தமான கேள்வியைக் கேட்பவர்கள் யாரும், ” ஏன் எல்லாருக்கும் அல்ஜீப்ரா, ஜியாமெட்ரி, பாட்டனி, பயாலஜி எல்லாம் சொல்லித் தரப்படவேண்டும் ? எல்லாருமா எஞ்சீனியராகவும் டாக்டராகவும் ஆகப் போகிறார்கள் ?” என்ற எதிர்க் கேள்வி கேட்டால் மௌனமாகிவிடுவார்கள்.

எல்லா விஷயங்களைப் பற்றியும் எல்லா துறைகளைப் பற்றியுமான அடிப்படை அறிவு எல்லாருக்கும் தேவை. அதை இளமையிலேயே தருவதற்கான இடம்தான் பள்ளிக்கூடம். அவரவர் விரும்பும் துறையில் சிறப்புப் பயிற்சி எடுத்து அந்தத் துறையில் வேலை பெறவும் சாதிக்கவும் தன்னைத் தயாராக்கிக் கொள்ளும் இடம்தான் கல்லூரி. இந்தப் பார்வை நமது கல்வித் திட்டத்தில் இல்லை.

இசை, ஓவியம், நடனம், நாடகம் இவற்றையெல்லாம் பள்ளியிலிருந்தே அறிந்திருக்கும் குழந்தைதான், வளரும்போது நல்ல ரசிகராக மலரமுடியும். நல்ல ரசிகர்கள் நிறைய பேர் இருந்தால்தான், நல்ல கலைஞர்கள் எந்தத் துறையிலும் தழைக்க முடியும். கலை இலக்கிய பரிச்சயமும் ரசனையும் வாசிப்பு பழக்கமும் இல்லாதவர்கள் வேலை சுமையைத் தாங்க முடியாமல் மன அழுத்த நோயாளிகளாகவோ குடி அடிமைகளாகவோ மாறுகிறார்கள்.

இன்றைய தமிழ்க் குழந்தைகளுக்கு நாடகம் என்பதே தெரியாது. பல இளைஞர்களிடம் நாடகம் பார்த்திருக்கிறீர்களா என்று கேட்டால், தொலைக்காட்சித்தொடர்களைத்தான் அவர்கள் நாடகம் என்று குறிப்பிடுகிறார்கள். அண்மையில் ஒரு நாடக விழாவில் பங்கேற்கும் வாய்ப்பு எனக்குக் கிடைத்தது. ஷார்ட் அண்ட் ஸ்வீட் தியேட்டர் திருவிழா என்று அழைக்கப்படும் இந்த குறுநாடக விழா ஆஸ்திரேலியாவில் பல்வேறு நகரங்களில் ஆண்டுதோறும் நடத்தப்படுகிறது. சிங்கப்பூர்,மலேசியாவிலும் நிகழ்கிறது. சென்ற வருடம் டெல்லியிலும் தொடங்கப்பட்டது. இந்த ஆண்டு சென்னையில் ப்ரக்ருதி பவுண்டேஷன் இதை இணைந்து நடத்தியது.

பத்தே நிமிட நீளம் உள்ள நாடகங்களை அறிமுகப்படுத்தி நாடகத்தில் ஒரு ருசியை ஏற்படுத்துவதுதான் ஷார்ட் அண்ட் ஸ்வீட்டின் நோக்கம். பத்து நிமிட நாடகம் என்பதில் பரீக்*ஷா குழுவில் எங்களுக்கு ஏற்கனவே பரிச்சயம் இருக்கிறது. தனி நடிப்பாக ஏழு பாத்திரங்களுக்கு சுமார் பத்து நிமிட ஸ்கிரிப்ட்கள் தயாரித்து , ஏழையும் சேர்த்து ‘நாங்கள்’ என்ற தலைப்பில் நாடகமாக நிகழ்த்தியிருக்கிறோம்.

ஷார்ட் அண்ட் ஸ்வீட்டில், முதல் கட்டத்தில் நாடகம் எழுத விரும்புவோருக்கு பயிற்சி முகாம் நடத்தினார்கள். அடுத்த கட்டமாக பங்கேற்க விரும்பும் நடிகர்கள், இயக்குநர்களைப் பதிவு செய்தார்கள். வந்து குவிந்த நாடகங்களிலிருந்து 40 நாடகங்களைத் தேர்ந்தெடுத்து இருபது இயக்குநர்களிடம் கொடுத்து அதில் அவர்களுக்குப் பிடித்த ஐந்தைத் தேர்வு செய்துகொள்ளச் சொன்னார்கள். ஐந்தில் ஒன்றை இயக்க வாய்ப்பு தரப்பட்டது. எந்த நாடகத்தை யார் எழுதியிருக்கிறார்கள் என்று தெரிவிக்காமலேதான் படிக்கக் கொடுத்தார்கள்.

இயக்குநர்களில் ஒருவரான எனக்குக் கடைசியில் இயக்கத் தரப்பட்ட நாடகத்தை எழுதியது 19 வயது மும்பை இளைஞர் என்று அப்புறம் தெரியவந்தது. வட இந்தியக் குடும்பத்தை வைத்து ஆங்கிலத்தில் எழுதப்பட்ட இதனை நான் என் வசதிக்காக தமிழில் சென்னைக் குடும்பமாக நாடகாசிரியர் அனுமதியுடம் மாற்றிக் கொண்டேன். ஷார்ட் அண்ட் ஸ்வீட்டில் இடம் பெற்ற மொத்தம் இருபது நாடகங்களில் தமிழில் அமைந்தவை இரண்டுதான். மற்றவை ஆங்கிலம்.

பத்து நிமிட நாடக வடிவம் என்பது ஒரு பக்கக் கதை எழுதுவது போன்றது. முதல் பார்வையில் எளிதாகத் தோன்றினாலும், பத்து நிமிட நாடகம் எழுதுவது என்பது கடினமான வேலை. நிறைய பாத்திரங்கள் வைத்துக் கொள்ள முடியாது. ஒரே பாத்திரம் தனிநடிப்பாகப் பேசுவதாக எழுதுவது ஈசி என்றே தோன்றும். ஆனால் ஒரே நபர் ஆடியன்சின் கவனத்தை இரண்டு நிமிடங்களுக்கு மேல் தக்க வைத்துக் கொள்ள, ஸ்கிரிப்ட்டும் பலமாக இருக்க வேண்டும். நடிப்பும் அழுத்தமாக இருக்க வேண்டும். இரண்டு முதல் நான்கு பாத்திரங்கள் வரை இருப்பதே வசதியானது.

நாடகவிழாவில் தினமும் பத்து நாடகங்கள். ஒவ்வொரு பத்து நிமிட நாடகத்துக்கும் இடையில் இடைவெளி நேரம் முப்பது நொடிகள்தான். மொத்தமாக சுமார் இரண்டு மணி நேரத்திற்குள் வித விதமான கலை அனுபவம். நாடக விழா நடைபெற்ற ஒன்பது நாட்களும், தினமும் அரங்கு நிரம்பி வழிந்தது. சென்னையில் ஆங்கில நாடக ரசிகர்களின் எண்ணிக்கை தமிழ் நாடக ரசிகர்களின் எண்ணிக்கையை விட அதிகம் இருக்கும் போலிருக்கிறது. என் நிமித்தம் நாடக விழா பார்க்க வந்த பல தமிழ் நண்பர்கள் ஒரே மாலைப் பொழுதில் பத்துவிதமான நாடகங்களைப் பார்த்த அனுபவத்தில் திளைத்துப் போனார்கள். இவ்வளவு வெரைட்டியான அனுபவம் கிடைத்ததே இல்லை என்று மகிழ்ந்தார்கள்.

சுமாரானவை முதல் சிறந்தவை வரை பல விதமான நாடகங்கள் இருந்தன. ஒவ்வொன்றும் எடுத்துக் கொண்ட விஷயங்கள் பலதரப்பட்டவை. இந்திய தமிழகச் சூழலுக்கு அந்நியமான விஷயங்கள் முதல் எந்தச் சூழலுக்கும் பொருந்தக் கூடிய விஷயங்கள் வரை நாடகங்களில் இடம் பெற்றன. நான் இயக்கிய நாடகமே பெண்ணுக்கு மாப்பிள்ளை பார்க்க வந்த இடத்தில், மாப்பிள்ளை பெண்கள் மீதே ஈர்ப்பு இல்லாத தன் பால் விழைவுடையவர் என்பது தெரியவருவது பற்றிய காமெடிதான்.

அர்த்தமற்ற யுத்தம், அடுக்கு மாடி வீட்டில் தனியே குழந்தையை பூட்டிவைத்துவிட்டுப் போனால் ஏற்படும் சிக்கல், ஃபேஸ்புக் போன்ற இணைய தளத்திலேயே மூழ்கி வாழ்க்கை நடத்துவது பற்றிய நையாண்டி, வாய்ப்பு கிடைக்காமல் தத்தளிக்கும் நடிகனுக்குக் கிடைத்த வாய்ப்பு நழுவினால் ஏற்படும் விரக்தி, ரசனையில்லாதவனிடம் பணமும், ரசனையுள்ள ஓவியனிடம் ஏழ்மையும் இருக்கும் அவலம், மனிதர்களை வாசனைகள் மூலமே அடையாளப்படுத்தும் குற்றவாளி, சொந்த முகத்தை மாற்றியாக வேண்டிய கட்டாயத்தில் இருக்கும் இருவேறு மனிதர்கள், சக மனிதர்களின் துயரங்கள் கூட டி.வி எண்ட்டர்டெயின்மெண்டாக மாறிவிட்டிருக்கும் நம் வாழ்க்கை என்று பலதரப்பட்ட விஷயங்கள் பத்து நிமிட நாடகங்களில் கையாளப்பட்டிருந்தன.

எனக்குப் பெரும் உத்வேகத்தை தந்தது இந்த நாடக விழாவில் பங்கேற்ற இளைஞர்கள்தான். குழந்தையாக நான் தூக்கிக் கொஞ்சி என் டி.வி தொடரில் நடிக்கவைத்த சம்யுக்தா இப்போது இளைஞியாக இயக்கிய நாடகம் இன்று இந்த நாடகவிழாவில் சிறந்த நாடகத்துக்கான பரிசைப் பெற்றபோது பெருமகிழ்ச்சியாக இருந்தது. இன்னொரு நாடகத் தோழியான வினோதினி, ஒரு நாடகத்தை எழுதி, இன்னொரு நாடகத்தை இயக்கி, இன்னொன்றில் நடித்து சாதனை புரிந்தது பெருமையாக இருந்தது.

ஆண்களும் பெண்களுமாக ஏராளமான இளைஞர்கள் நடிகர்களாக, இயக்குநர்களாக, எழுத்தாளர்களாக இதில் பங்கேற்றிருந்தது, நாடகத்தின் எதிர்காலம் பற்றிய பெரும் நம்பிக்கையை எனக்கு அளித்தது. இதில் ஒரு சிலர்தான் தமிழ் நாடக உலகம் பக்கம் திரும்பிப் பார்க்கக்கூடியவர்கள். ஆனால் ஆங்கில நாடகத்துறையில் இளைஞர்களுக்கு இருக்கும் இந்த கவர்ச்சியும் ஈடுபாடும் தமிழ் இளைஞர்களுக்கும் தொற்றவைக்கக்கூடிய உணர்ச்சிதான்.

நம் தொலைக்காட்சிகள் நம் இளைஞர்களை குழந்தையிலிருந்தே சினிமா பார்ப்பதற்கு தயார் செய்துவிடுகின்றன. அது போல நாடகம் பார்ப்பதற்கு தயார் செய்யும் பள்ளி, வீட்டுச் சூழல் நம்மிடையே இப்போது இல்லை. ஒரு காலத்தில் இருந்தது. எண்பதுகள் தொடக்கம் வரை இருந்தது. இப்போது இல்லாமற்போய்விட்டது. அதை மீட்டெடுத்தால்தான் மீண்டும் நாடகத்தை தமிழில் தழைக்க செய்யமுடியும்.

ஷார்ட் அண்ட் ஸ்வீட் வடிவம் இதற்கு உகந்ததாக இருக்கிறது. இன்றைக்கு எந்த விஷயத்தையும் சுருக்கமாகவே படிக்க விரும்புகிறார்கள். நாடக ரசனையை அறிமுகம் செய்விக்க பத்து நிமிட நாடக வடிவம் உகந்தது. எனவே இந்த வருடம் டிசம்பருக்குள் தமிழில் இதே போன்ற ஒரு குறுநாடக விழாவை நடத்துவது பற்றி நானும் எங்கள் பரீக்*ஷா குழுவினரும் யோசிக்க ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டோம். அதை சென்னையில் மட்டுமல்லாமல், பல ஊர்களில், குறிப்பாக பள்ளிக் கூடங்களில் நடத்தலாமென்று தோன்றுகிறது.

புதுப் புதுத் திறமையாளர்களை வெளிக் கொண்டு வர இந்த வடிவம் உகந்ததாக இருக்கிறது. பழைய கலைகளை புதிய தலைமுறைக்குக் கொண்டு செல்ல நமக்கு பல பாலங்கள் தேவைப்படுகின்றன. அதில் ஷார்ட் அண்ட் ஸ்வீட் ஒன்று. உண்மையில் இது புதியவர்களுக்கான வாய்ப்பு மட்டுமல்ல, பழைய மூத்த நாடகக்காரர்களுக்கெல்லாம் ஒரு சவால்.

இரு மாத காலம் சுதந்திரமாக மூச்சு விட முடிந்த நம் மாணவர்கள் மறுபடியும் மெஷின்களாக்கப்படாமல் இருக்கவேண்டுமானால், புது பாடப் புத்தகங்கள் வந்தபிறகும், குறைந்தபட்சம், வாரந்தோறும் ஓரிரு வகுப்புகள் கலை இலக்கிய ரசனைக்காக ஒதுக்கப்படவேண்டும். கண்டிப்பாக அந்த வகுப்புகளை கணக்கு சயன்ஸ் டீச்சர்களுக்கு இரவல் கொடுக்காமல் இருக்க வேண்டும்.

இந்த வாரப் பூச்செண்டுகள்:

தன் சொத்துக் கணக்கை வெளியிட்டதற்காக இந்தியக் குடியரசுத் தலைவர் பிரதீபா பாட்டீலுக்கு இ.வா.பூ. இனி எந்த ஐ.ஏ.எஸ். அதிகாரியோ, நீதிபதியோ தத்தம் சொத்துக் கணக்கை வெளியிட மறுக்க முடியாதவண்ணம் முன்னுதாரணம் உருவாக்கியது பாராட்டுக்குரியது.

தமிழில் பெயர் வைத்தால் கேளிக்கைவரி விலக்கு என்று சொல்லி, மக்கள் பணத்தை சினிமா அதிபர்களுக்கு வார் வழங்கிக் கொண்டிருந்த கருணாநிதி அரசின் உத்தரவை மாற்றி அமைத்து தரமான படமாக இருந்தால்தான் வரிவிலக்கு என்று ஆக்கியிருப்பதற்காக முதலமைச்சர் ஜெயலலிதாவுக்கு இ.வா.பூ.

CRI's Tamil programmes, which enjoy a cult following , are set to grow bigger

S. Pandiyarajan was fiddling around with his shortwave radio set one hot summer evening at Villupuram, Tamil Nadu, when he stumbled upon a strange station.

At first listen, it was a language he couldn't identify. It sounded like Tamil, but spoken in an accent he could not recognise. He listened on, straining his ears. To his surprise, he discovered that the voices were coming from faraway China.

“I could hear two Chinese people speaking in perfect Tamil!” he said. “And this was Sentamizh [classical Tamil], which you never hear anywhere, anymore, even in Tamil Nadu.”

That evening, Mr. Pandiyarajan became the latest member of China Radio International's fast-growing overseas fan base. The station, run by the Chinese government, has, for more than six decades, been tasked with carrying news from China — from politics to arts and culture — to boost the country's image overseas.

With humble beginnings in the civil war-torn China in the 1940s, CRI today is at the centre of a massive multi-billion dollar effort to boost rising China's “soft power” overseas, sending out daily broadcasts in 63 languages, 24 hours a day, from its expansive multi-storey headquarters in west Beijing.

Remarkably, CRI's Tamil station enjoys the widest reach of all its channels. Its popularity underscores the quiet success China's “soft power” push is having in unlikely locations. The Tamil station, which broadcasts every day from a modest 12th floor office, has more than 25,000 registered listeners — besides thousands of others who tune in casually every day — in Tamil Nadu and the rest of India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, Germany, the United States and Japan.

The Tamil station started broadcasting in 1963. Since then, it has continued to beam its shows uninterrupted, building up an almost cult following overseas, with its fans even organising themselves into a network of listeners' clubs.

Leading the station is Zhu Juan Hua, from Shanghai, who prefers to go by the Tamil name Kalaiarasi. Ms. Zhu has been with CRI Tamil since its launch, among the first group of students in this country who were trained in Tamil. :cheers:

Not really. They are just in a stage in their history where they are prosperous and their neighbours are peaceful. Try going through the histories of these countries.

I very well know about the history of the above mentioned countries and thats why i asked you

+ In Canada french and english are official langauages (much similar to lanka - sinhaleese and tamil). There is a province called quebec were french is spoken predominantly. Due to certain issues of non-compliance with the federal govt, lesgislators from provincial govt demanded quebec to be seduced from the union. The federal govt arranged for a opinion vote poll and 49% voted in favor of that and nearly 50% voted against that. This is how things work in these countries.Whether Srilankan or Indian govt will have that guts to do that


So yo'ure more concerned about what's happening in Sri Lanka than say, Maharashtra or Orissa? That's pretty clear I think since you've never uttered a single word against say the activities of Salwa Judum, or the persecution of people from the Terai region of Nepal by the Maoists.

That's perfectly natural, which is why I said that someone with your views should question the concept of nation states itself. Unfortunately we are living in a world of nation states, and as long as these lines remain on the map, those living outside those lines will be treated as foreigners, no matter what their ethnic links may be with people on this side of the line.

For argument sake i can't accept the fact i am really worried about what is happening in rest of INdia. If people from any other state gets affected by some issue i feel pity for them thats it and i would feel the same if people in any other part of the world get affected. But when it comes to tamil people, either it is TN fishermen or SL tamils my blood boils.

Most of the people in TN does the same thinking, but very few accept it.

Otherwise we will end up like Pakistan whose foreign policy is dominated by Kashmiri politics. We know the consequences of that very well I think.

The terrorist issue there is totally different, almost all the nations have labeled them as "banned groups" but that is not the case with LTTE. Norwegnian govt went one step ahead by issuing visas to LTTE at the last stages of the civil war and even accepted the same publicly

+ J&K was a sperate kingdom post independence, when pakistan invaded Kashmir, they requested INDIA's help and India stepped in. But why didn't it do the same thing with Lanka?


Save Rajpaksa from whom? Who will try Rajpaksa? Who will sentence him? Do you think that pointing fingers at Rajpaksa will actually achieve anything? The only countries powerful enough to do something like that are USA, and they only do it to try their former puppets from middle-east countries.

Who saved sri lanka from UN to pass a resolution against Lanka? When PM was questioned about this issue in Lok saba what was his answer? Explore them you will find the answer.



Let's get this clear - India had no role in this "Genocide", any more than India had a role in Pakistan's "genocide" in NWFP, or the atrocities of the Myanmar government against its own people or the atrocities of China against Tibetans. India has never uttered a single word against all these things either (atleast in recent times.)
The only reason why Sri Lanka boldly went forward and eliminated LTTE in the first place was because of Chinese money and backing. Wihout that we would still be hearing about skirmishes and suicide bombings every couple of months.

Of course china played a major role, but it is very childish to say that india didn't play a part. Again what India did with myanamar, china or pakistan issues is not important here. Why india helped lanka in its genocide is the issue here

With humble beginnings in the civil war-torn China in the 1940s, CRI today is at the centre of a massive multi-billion dollar effort to boost rising China's “soft power” overseas, sending out daily broadcasts in 63 languages, 24 hours a day, from its expansive multi-storey headquarters in west Beijing.

Remarkably, CRI's Tamil station enjoys the widest reach of all its channels. Its popularity underscores the quiet success China's “soft power” push is having in unlikely locations. The Tamil station, which broadcasts every day from a modest 12th floor office, has more than 25,000 registered listeners — besides thousands of others who tune in casually every day — in Tamil Nadu and the rest of India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, Germany, the United States and Japan.

The Tamil station started broadcasting in 1963. Since then, it has continued to beam its shows uninterrupted, building up an almost cult following overseas, with its fans even organising themselves into a network of listeners' clubs.

Leading the station is Zhu Juan Hua, from Shanghai, who prefers to go by the Tamil name Kalaiarasi. Ms. Zhu has been with CRI Tamil since its launch, among the first group of students in this country who were trained in Tamil.

“When I joined CRI, the situation was far different,” said Ms. Zhu. “We had few speakers. Today, we have 15 highly trained Chinese Tamil-speaking staff, and plan to hire six more this year. We have been growing, and growing.”

Speaking in fluent Tamil, she says the station receives more than 450,000 letters every year, accounting for 30 per cent of all the letters CRI's more than 60 channels receive.

CRI, along with China Central Television and the Xinhua news agency, is now in the middle of an $8.7-billion “soft power” push to boost Chinese media overseas.

The station is on a drive to purchase prominent slots on local AM and FM channels in many countries. Earlier this year, CRI's Urdu channel launched FM broadcasts in Pakistan. CRI Tamil has also launched FM broadcasts in Sri Lanka, and is now in talks with stations in Tamil Nadu. CRI's Tamil shows are currently broadcast in India, on shortwave, every evening for two hours, starting at 7.30 p.m.

This month, the station invited the heads of some of its listeners' clubs in Tamil Nadu to visit its Beijing headquarters, part of an effort to engage more with listeners.

S. Selvam, head of the All-India Listeners' Club, said the station's popularity was driven by its novelty. “The first thing that strikes you is, why are these Chinese people learning Tamil, and speaking perfect Sentamizh?” he said. “You think, if they are making such an effort, we have to reach out to them.”

Mr. Pandiyarajan agreed. “This is something completely new,” he said. “We have Villupuram Tamil, Chennai Tamil, Puducherry Tamil. But I never thought I would discover that there would also be a Cheena [Chinese] Tamil.”

“We are going backward in civilisation,” reads the Facebook status message of a frustrated medico, a student of a government medical college in Chennai.

And the reason for his anguish is a link to the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Med-ical University’s webpage on ‘Dress regulations for medical students’.

While jeans and T-shirts will be off-limits to both boys and girls, the government has also specified what kind of hairstyle and shoes medical students must wear while examining patients.

Enforcing separate sets of rules for female and male students of state-run medical colleges, the university has justified its dress code with a statement that medicos here have branded ‘ridiculous’—“ All this is to ensure that female students do not create the feeling that they are women (while examining male patients).”

Good. Then you know how Canada was founded by European immigrants who basically wiped out the native populations.


+ In Canada french and english are official langauages (much similar to lanka - sinhaleese and tamil). There is a province called quebec were french is spoken predominantly.

I agree with you on many issues I think, including local autonomy in India. I think India should have local self-governance. We have too much centralization with unaccountable people who have neither the will nor the expertise to run things.

However, Canada has just one neighbour USA, which is unlikely to cause it or its people any harm. It make little or no difference to Canadians whether they are one country or five. They will still be part of NATO and no other country on the planet would dare to interfere with them.

We are not in that position. Unfortunately, as much as I hate centralized governments, it is better to be ruled by your own elected government than to be coerced by an unaccountable foreign power. That is the situation which most countries in Middle-East, Africa, South America etc. find themselves in. When USA or Russia or soon perhaps China decides to interfere in the internal affairs of these countries, start or support rebellions, overthrow regimes and install puppets etc. there is nothing that they can do about it.

That's why we don't have referendums in India which allow states to secede, because we as common people cannot predict the geopolitical implications of such things which involve multiple foreign powers, over whom we have no influence or control. What we can do very well is run our own affairs, so we should focus on internal democracy atleast till the stage when we are sure that nobody can harm our collective interests.

AIADMK members in theLok Sabha on Monday shouted slogans to protest the presence of a Sri Lankan delegation, led by Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa, who were in the house as special foreign guests.

AIADMK members, led byS. Semmalai andMunisamy Thambidurai, shouted "shame, shame" as soon as Speaker Meira Kumar began reading out her welcome message to Rajapaksa and his other colleagues, including Sri Lankan ministers, sitting in the special box to the left of her.

Almost all nine members of Tamil Nadu's ruling party were heard shouting slogans against the Sri Lankan government as MPs from other parties thumped their desks to welcome the nine-member visiting delegation.

P. Lingam, the Communist Party of India (CPI) MP from Tenkasi in Tamil Nadu, also attempted to join the protests over alleged human rights abuses against SriLankan Tamils in the island nation. He was seen walking down the aisle towards the speaker's podium but was stopped by his party leaderGurudas Dasgupta, who asked him to go back to his seat.

A visibly irate Meira Kumar rebuked the Tamil MPs and asked them to show some courtesy to the honoured guests.

TheSri Lankan delegation is on a five-day official visit to India on an invitation by the speaker.

Ganesamurthy MDMK shouted "get out". You are killers of the Tamil race in Lok Sabha when Rajapakshe was introduced by the Speaker.

^^

Speaker amaiyar got tensed and said "they are our guest and came because of our invitation"

even during telangana issue or 2G chaos in parliament this amaiyar might have not got tensed this much! all she use to tell "please sit".....

I think that the current VCs are going to the extremes.

They can restrict if the girls & boys are dressed in FTV fashion or the like. Jeans & Tees are the normal types and are much more decent than the other supposed to be okay type of dresses.

For Drs, they are mostly wearing the white coats and what difference it makes if they wear a jeans or Tee.

I remember our RECT / NITT Princi PS Mani Sundaram. He used to leave us free for 9 semesters and would be very strict during the last semester when campus interview happen (During 10th semester, when we visit college depts, only collared shirts, pref full sleeves with shoes and neatly combed). Actually that helped us to cope up with the real world from the next year onward.

“We are going backward in civilisation,” reads the Facebook status message of a frustrated medico, a student of a government medical college in Chennai.

And the reason for his anguish is a link to the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Med-ical University’s webpage on ‘Dress regulations for medical students’.

While jeans and T-shirts will be off-limits to both boys and girls, the government has also specified what kind of hairstyle and shoes medical students must wear while examining patients.

Enforcing separate sets of rules for female and male students of state-run medical colleges, the university has justified its dress code with a statement that medicos here have branded ‘ridiculous’—“ All this is to ensure that female students do not create the feeling that they are women (while examining male patients).”

...

I hate this again only TN does this nonsense in other states even bikini(I mean any modern dress) is allowed in colleges. See many other state students dont want to come to TN colleges because of it.

Yes, other state students are going to go to Gujarat.

Where is Kongu?

Expecting for his funny post on this! :lol:

There is dress code for medical students even in e US and Europe, see the reason for that:
As students will encounter patients from diverse groups, their personal appearance becomes an important part in establishing rapport with each patient. Therefore, the therapeutic alliance must be secured before initial verbal interaction has occurred. Student/physicians should place the patient’s needs first even if this necessitates curtailing some aspects of one’s individual expression.

Oops I didnt see medical students. Yes for medical students it is fine but not for Arts or Engineering.

சமச்சீர் கல்வி பற்றி சோ எழுதிய துக்ளக் கட்டுரை வாசகர் விருப்பம்...


இதற்கு, ஜனநாயகம் உகந்தது அல்ல!

எம்.எல்.ஏ. : (இரு மாணவர்களைப் பார்த்து) நாட்டிலே படிப்பு மேலே அக்கறை இல்லை. உங்களையே கேக்கறேன். ஒளுங்கா படிக்கிறீங்களாய்யா நீங்க? என்ன படிக்கிறோம்னு உங்களுக்கே தெரியலை. நீங்க என்ன படிக்கிறீங்கன்னு உங்களுக்கு தெரியுமாய்யா?

ஒரு மாணவன் : எப்படி ஸார் தெரியும்? நீங்கதான் எங்க பாடங்களை தினம் தினம் மாத்தறீங்களே! தினம் ஒரு எஜுகேஷனல் பாலிஸி! காலண்டர்லே தேதி கிழிக்கிற மாதிரி, கிழிச்சுத் தள்றீங்க! என்ன படிக்கிறோம்னு எங்களுக்கு எப்படித் தெரியும்? இன்னைக்கு படிக்கிறதுக்கு நாளைக்கு மதிப்பு கிடையாது! எதுக்கு ஸார் படிக்கணும்?

– இது 1961-ல் எழுதி, நடிக்கப்பட்ட ‘கோ வாடிஸ்?’ (எங்கே போகிறாய்?) என்ற எங்கள் நாடகத்தில் வருகிற வசனம்.

ஐம்பது ஆண்டுகள் கழிந்துள்ளன; ஆனால் மாணவர்களின் நிலை மாறவில்லை.

சென்ற ஆட்சியாளர்கள் சமச்சீர் கல்வி என்ற பெயரில், ஒரு ஸ்டண்ட் அடித்தாலும் அடித்தார்கள் – ஆட்சி மாறியும், அதன் பாதிப்பு அகலவில்லை; குழப்பம் தீரவில்லை. புதிய ஆட்சி, ‘சமச்சீர் கல்வி முறையில் மாற்றங்கள் தேவை’ என்று முடிவு எடுத்தது; இதற்கு உயர் நீதிமன்றத் தடை வந்தது; தமிழக அரசு அப்பீல் செய்தது; சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட், ‘ஒன்று மற்றும் ஆறாம் வகுப்புகளுக்கு சமச்சீர் கல்வி தேவை’ என்றும், ‘மற்றபடி இதை பரிசீலிக்க ஒரு கமிட்டி நியமிக்கப்பட வேண்டும்’ என்றும் உத்திரவிட்டது.

‘1-ஆம் வகுப்பில் சமச்சீர் முறையில் படித்துவிட்டு, பிறகு அது மாறினால், 2-ஆம் வகுப்பில் வேறு முறை; அதுபோல ஆறாம் வகுப்பில் சமச்சீர் முறை – அது மாறினால் 7-ஆம் வகுப்பில் வேறு முறை’ என்ற விளைவை ஏற்படுத்தக் கூடிய சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட்டின் தீர்ப்பு குழப்பத்தைத் தீர்க்கவில்லை; கூட்டியது. இத்துடன் உயர் நீதிமன்ற விசாரணைக்கு, விஷயத்தை அனுப்பி வைத்தது சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட்.

இப்போது சென்னை உயர் நீதிமன்றம், எல்லா வகுப்புகளுக்குமே சமச்சீர் கல்வி கற்பதற்கான புத்தகங்கள் ஜூலை 22-ஆம் தேதிக்குள் கொடுக்கப்பட வேண்டும் – என்று தீர்ப்பளித்து விட்டது.

தமிழக அரசு சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட்டிற்குச் சென்றது. ‘ஹைகோர்ட் உத்திரவிற்குத் தடை கிடையாது; ஆனால் தமிழக அரசின் அப்பீல் பரிசீலிக்கப்படும்; அதே சமயத்தில் சென்னை ஹைகோர்ட் கூறியபடி, சமச்சீர் கல்விப் புத்தகங்கள் கொடுக்கப்படுவதற்கு ஆகஸ்ட் 2-ஆம் தேதி வரை அவகாசம்’ என்று உத்திரவிட்டிருக்கிறது.

ஹைகோர்ட் தீர்ப்பை எதிர்த்து தமிழக அரசு செய்துள்ள அப்பீல் முடிவாகவில்லை; அப்பீல் தமிழக அரசுக்குச் சாதகமாக முடிந்தால், சமச்சீர் புத்தகங்கள் தேவைப்படாது; ஆனால் சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட் ‘ஆகஸ்ட் 2-ஆம் தேதிக்குள் சமச்சீர் புத்தகங்கள் வினியோகிக்கப்பட வேண்டும்’ என்று கூறியுள்ளது; அப்பீலில் இறுதி தீர்ப்பு வருவதற்குள், தமிழக அரசின் நிலைக்கு எதிராக அமைகிற இந்த உத்திரவு ஏன் பிறப்பிக்கப்பட்டது என்பது புரியவில்லை.

இதற்கிடையில் மாணவர்களின் கல்வி ஆண்டில், இரண்டு மாதங்கள் கோவிந்தா! என்ன படிக்கப் போகிறோம் என்பது அவர்களுக்கு இன்னமும் தெரியாது. சென்ற அரசின் சமச்சீர், சமத்தாழ்வுதான்; அதை நீதிமன்றம் ஏற்றது சரியல்ல; கொள்கை முடிவில் நீதிமன்றம் குறுக்கிட்டதாகத்தான் இது காட்சியளித்தது. ஆனால், சரியோ தவறோ, நீதிமன்றம் அதற்கு ஒப்புதல் அளித்தபோது – நிச்சயமற்ற தன்மை தொடர்வதால், மாணவர்களுக்கு ஏற்படுகிற பிரச்சனையை மனதில் கொண்டு – புதிய அரசு, இந்த ஆண்டு அதையே அமல்செய்து, அடுத்த ஆண்டுக்கு மாற்றங்களுடன் கூடிய புதிய முறையை வகுத்திருக்கலாம். அப்படிச் செய்யாமல், ‘அப்பீல்கள் செய்து, தமிழக அரசு மாணவர்களின் குழப்பத்தை நீட்டித்தது; இது தவிர்க்கப்பட்டிருக்க வேண்டும்’ – என்ற விமர்சனத்தில் நியாயம் இருக்கிறது. இனி சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட் இறுதியாகத் தன் தீர்ப்பைக் கூறிய பிறகு (ஜூலை 26-ஆம் தேதி), மாணவர்களுக்கு ஒரு தெளிவு ஏற்பட்டால்தான் உண்டு.

இவை ஒருபுறம் இருக்க, இந்த சமச்சீர் விவகாரம், வெறும் வாய்ச் சவடால் சீர்திருத்தம் என்பது, அந்த சமச்சீருக்கு வக்காலத்து வாங்குபவர்கள் கூறுகிற கருத்துக்களிலிருந்தே தெளிவாகத் தெரிகிறது.

சமச்சீர் வக்காலத்துக்கள் என்ன சொல்கின்றன? ‘வசதி உள்ளவர்கள் மட்டும், நல்ல தரமுள்ள கல்வியைப் பெறுவது; மற்றவர்கள் சாதாரண கல்வியைப் பெறுவது – என்கிற நிலை அநீதி அல்லவா?’

அதாவது, ‘சில வழிமுறைகளில் (மெட்ரிகுலேஷன் போன்ற) தரமான கல்வி புகட்டப்படுகிறது’ என்பதை இவர்கள் ஏற்கிறார்கள். இப்படி வசதியுள்ளவர்கள் பெறுகிற கல்விக்கு நிகராக, வசதி அற்றவர்களுக்குக் கிட்டும் கல்வியையும் உயர்த்த வேண்டியதுதானே? அது முடியவில்லை. அதற்கு வக்கில்லை. ஆகையால், உயர்ந்தவற்றையும் தாழ்த்தி, சமச்சீர் கல்வி தருவதுதான் நியாயம் – என்பது இவர்கள் வாதம்.

‘சிலர் விமானத்தில் போகிறார்கள்; சிலர் கார்களில் போகிறார்கள்; சிலர் மோட்டார் சைக்கிளில் செல்கிறார்கள்; ஆனால், பலர் நடந்து போகிறார்களே! ஐயோ, இந்த அநீதி தொடரலாமா? இனி ‘கால் நடை’தான் எல்லோருக்கும் சமச்சீர் போக்குவரத்து’ என்று சொல்வதா நியாயம்?

இந்த சமச்சீர் வக்காலத்துகளுக்கு, வசதியிருப்பவர்களைப் பார்த்தால் துக்கம் பொங்கிக் கொண்டு வருகிறது. அந்தத் துக்கம் கல்வியுடன் மட்டும் நிற்பது என்ன நியாயம்? வசதியுள்ளவர்களின் பிள்ளைகள், நல்ல ஹோட்டல்களில் சாப்பிடுகிறபோது, வசதி அற்றவர்களின் பிள்ளைகள் டீக்கடைகளில் ‘ஸிங்கிள் டீ, டபுள் பொரை’ சாப்பிடுவது என்ன நியாயம்? எல்லோருக்கும் வசதியான ஹோட்டல் சாப்பாடு தர முடியாது; ஆனால் சம நிலை வேண்டும்; ஆகையால் இனி எல்லோரும் ‘ஸிங்கிள் டீ, டபுள் பொரைதான்’! சமச்சீர் சிற்றுண்டி!

இந்தப் பித்துக்குளித்தனத்திற்கு ஒரு எல்லை உண்டா என்ன? சமச்சீர் கல்வி மட்டும்தான் இன்றைய அவசியத் தேவையா? சமச்சீர் சாப்பாடு – சமச்சீர் போக்குவரத்து... என்று கொண்டு வந்து, சமச்சீர் என்ற பெயரில் எதிலும் தரமே கூடாது என்று செய்து விட்டால், அதன் பின்னர் உயர்வு ஏது? தாழ்வு ஏது?

இந்த சமச்சீர் சன்மார்க்கவாதிகளின் பார்வை, இப்போது அரசு அதிகாரிகளின் பக்கம் திரும்பி இருக்கிறது. ‘அதிகாரிகள், தங்கள் வீட்டுச் சிறுவர் சிறுமிகளை, அரசுப் பள்ளிகளில்தான் சேர்க்க வேண்டும். அவர்களே இதைச் செய்யவில்லை என்றால், அப்புறம் அரசுப் பள்ளிகளுக்கு என்ன மரியாதை?’ என்று ஒரு வாதம் புறப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. இத்துடன் விடுவானேன்? ‘அரசு அதிகாரிகள் காரிலோ, வேறு எந்த வாகனத்திலோ போகக்கூடாது; அவர்கள் அரசு பஸ்ஸில்தான் – மன்னிக்கவும் – அரசுப் பேருந்தில்தான் செல்ல வேண்டும்; இல்லாவிட்டால், அரசுப் பேருந்துகளை யார் மதிப்பார்கள்?’ என்று வாதம் புரிந்து, அரசு அதிகாரிகளை ஒரு அமுக்கு அமுக்க வேண்டியதுதானே!

அதே மாதிரி, அந்த அதிகாரிகள் தங்கள் வீடுகளில் அல்லது ஃப்ளாட்களில் குடியிருக்கும் அக்கிரமத்தை நிறுத்த வேண்டும். பல பிள்ளைகள் குடிசைகளில் வாழ்கிறபோது, இந்த அரசு அதிகாரிகளின் பிள்ளைகளுக்கு வீடும், ஃப்ளாட்டும் வேண்டிக் கிடக்கிறதா? அட்டூழியம். குடிசை மாற்று வாரியக் குடியிருப்பில்தான் அவர்கள் இனி குடியிருக்க வேண்டும். அப்போதுதான் சமச்சீர் குடியிருப்பு உருவாகி, சமநீதி வேரூன்றி, சமத்தாழ்வு முழுமை அடையும்.

அதாவது, சமத்துவம்தான் நமது லட்சியம் என்றால், அதைக் கல்வியோடு நிறுத்துவானேன்? எங்கும் சமத்துவம், எதிலும் சமத்துவம் வேண்டாமா? உணவு, இருப்பிடம் போன்றவையும் தேவைகள் அல்லவா? அதில் எல்லாம் சமத்தாழ்வு வேண்டாமா? இதுதான் லட்சியம் என்றால் – பேசாமல், கம்யூனிஸப் பிரேதத்தை, அதன் சமாதியிலிருந்து தோண்டி எடுத்து, அந்தப் பிரேதத்திற்கு சமநீதி இயந்திரத்தைப் பொருத்தி, அதை இயக்கி, முழு சமத்தாழ்வுக்கு ஏற்பாடு செய்ய வேண்டியதுதான்!

இந்த சமச்சீர் பேர்வழிகள், சென்ற அரசு, சமச்சீரினால் கல்வியைத் தாக்கியபோது, அதை ஆர்ப்பாட்டமாக வரவேற்றார்கள். தரம் தாழ்வது பற்றி அப்போது இவர்கள் பேசவில்லை. சரி. இப்போது, ‘சமச்சீர்தான் உயர்வு’ என்கிறார்கள். ஒரே பாடத் திட்டம் வந்தால், அது உயர்வாகி விடுமா?

தரமுள்ள கல்வி தரும் பள்ளிகளில் பயிலும் மாணவர்களுக்கு முயற்சியில் நம்பிக்கை; பல வகைப்பட்ட திறன்களுக்கு ஊக்கம்; பொதுஅறிவு; நல்ல நடத்தை; ஆங்கிலத்தில் சரளமாகப் பேசுகிற திறமை; தன்னுடைய எண்ணத்தை மற்றவர்களுக்கு தெரியப்படுத்துகிற திறன்; தன்னம்பிக்கை... போன்ற பல நன்மைகள் கிட்டுகின்றன.

அதனால்தான், நல்ல பள்ளிகளில் படிக்கும் குழந்தைகள், தைரியமாகப் பேசுகின்றன; நன்றாக நடந்து கொள்கின்றன; நம்பிக்கையுடன் உலவுகின்றன. இந்த மாதிரி கல்வி தரக் கூடிய தன்னம்பிக்கை, ஆங்கில அறிவு, தைரியம் போன்றவற்றுக்கு பல்லாயிரக்கணக்கானவர்கள் உதாரணமாகத் திகழ்கின்றனர்; இன்றைய தமிழக முதல்வர் ஜெயலலிதாவும் கூட அவர்களில் ஒருவர். அதனால்தான், இம்மாதிரி கல்வியை அனைவரும் பெற வேண்டும் என்பதற்காக, சமத்தாழ்வு கல்வியை மாற்றுவதற்கான நடவடிக்கையை அவர் எடுத்தாரோ, என்னவோ!

இந்த மாதிரி கல்வியைப் புகட்டும் பள்ளிகளில் ஒரு தனி கலாசாரம் நிலவுகிறது; அது ஜாதிக் கலாசாரம் அல்ல; பணக் கலாசாரம் அல்ல; அது முனைப்பு கலாசாரம்; தன்னம்பிக்கையை தருகிற கலாசாரம். பாடத் திட்டங்களினால் மட்டும் அதை சாதிக்க முடியாது. நல்ல ஆசிரியர்கள் தேவை; நல்ல நோக்கம் தேவை. இன்றைய அரசுப் பள்ளிகளில் இவை இருக்கின்றன என்று கூறுவது அபத்தம் கூட அல்ல – அநியாயம்.

‘சரி, இதெல்லாம் வேண்டாம்; நம்மால் ஆகாது; ஆகையால், சமத்தாழ்வுதான் ஒரே வழி’ என்று தீர்மானித்த பிறகு – அதை ஏன் பள்ளிகளோடு நிறுத்த வேண்டும்? அது என்ன நியாயம்? கல்லூரியில் சமத்தாழ்வு வேண்டாமா? உதாரணத்திற்கு, சிலர் மட்டுமே – மருத்துவப் படிப்பு பெற முடிகிறது. அதாவது வசதி படைத்த வர்க்கத்தினர் மட்டுமே மருத்துவப் படிப்பு பெற முடிகிறது. அநியாயம் இல்லையா இது?

எல்லா மருத்துவக் கல்லூரிகளிலும், அலோபதி மருத்துவ முறையை போதிக்க முடியாது. ஆகையால், சித்த வைத்தியம்தான் இனி மருத்துவக் கல்லூரிகளில் போதிக்கப்படும் என்று சட்டம் இயற்றினால் – அடடா! நினைத்தாலே மெய்சிலிர்க்கிறது! சமச்சீர் மருத்துவம் வந்து விடுமே! சிலர் மட்டும், உயர்ந்த பயிற்சி பெறுகிற அவலநிலை மாறி எல்லோருக்கும் லேகியம், சூரணம் பற்றிய பயிற்சி! ஆஹா!

இந்த சமச்சீர் அபத்தத்தை ஆரவாரத்துடன் வரவேற்பவர்கள் யார் என்று பார்த்தாலே, இது வெறும் உடான்ஸ் என்பது புரியும். தங்கள் வீட்டுக் குழந்தைகளை, மிக நல்ல தனியார் பள்ளிகளிலும், அயல்நாடுகளிலும் கூட படிக்க வைக்கிற தலைவர்கள்; வசதிக் குறைவு இல்லாத அறிவாளிகள்... போன்றவர்கள்தான் இந்தச் சமச்சீர் வக்காலத்து ஆசாமிகள்... அதாவது, வசதியானவர்களால் வசதியானவர்களுக்காக நடத்தப்படுகிற, வசதியானவர்களின் பொழுதுபோக்குகளில் இதுவும் ஒன்று. இந்த மேடை முழக்கத்தினால் அவர்களுக்கு ஒரு நஷ்டமும் இல்லை. இவர்களுடைய சமச்சீர் புரூடா, சமூகத்தைப் பின்னுக்குத் தள்ளும். அதனால் அவர்களுக்கு ஒரு பிரச்சனையும் இல்லை. அவர்களுடைய வீட்டுப் பிள்ளைகள், சென்ட்ரல் போர்ட் முறையில் படிப்பார்கள். சமச்சீர் சாமியாட்டம் அவர்களைப் பாதிக்கப் போவதில்லை.

ஆகையால், இந்த சமத்தாழ்வை வரவேற்கிற அப்பாவிகள் இனியாவது விழித்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டும். தங்கள் மகன் அல்லது மகள் என்ன கல்வி பெறுவது என்பது, பெற்றவர்களின் விருப்பத்திற்கு உட்பட்டது அல்ல என்றால் – அதற்கு ஜனநாயக ஆட்சி முறை உகந்தது அல்ல. பேசாமல், சர்வாதிகாரத்தைக் கொண்டு வந்துவிட வேண்டியது தான்.

இப்போது, சமச்சீர் குடாக்குத்தனம், சமூகத்தைப் பீடித்திருப்பதால் என்ன நடக்கும்? இந்த சமச்சீர் தாக்குதலினால் பாதிக்கப்படாதவர்கள் பலர் உண்டு; அவர்கள் கொஞ்சம் கொஞ்சமாக தங்கள் வீட்டுப் பிள்ளைகளை, மத்திய கல்வி முறைக்கு (சென்ட்ரல் போர்ட்) மாற்றி விடுவார்கள். இந்தச் சமச்சீர் பித்துக்குளித்தனம், தன்னுள்ளே அடக்கியுள்ள நன்மை இது ஒன்றுதான்!


சரி, தமிழகத்தின் கதி? அதற்கென்ன? இனி ஒரு விதி செய்வோம்; அதை எந்நாளும் காப்போம் – கல்வியின் தரத்தினை அழித்திடுவோம்!.

This medico thing got published in dc a week or two back. The reason though is mentioned at end and has been not quoted here

If they are clad in tight, revealing clothes, they are too conscious to bend down and help a patient, or squat on the floor to change a catheter — it hinders their work as a doctor,” defends Dr C. Vamsadhara, director of medical education.


But wait this is not a decision taken now. This was taken way back in jul 2009 and was imokemented in 2010.

Times of india had carried an article on april 2010 on this as well.

சமச்சீர் கல்வி பற்றி சோ எழுதிய துக்ளக் கட்டுரை வாசகர் விருப்பம்...




கல்வியை பற்றி எழுத சொன்னால் இவர் ஆகாசம் வரை போகிறார். உண்மையிலே சமசீர் கல்வி மேல் அக்கறை இருந்தால் அதனை சார்ந்து உடைய அனைத்தையும் மேன்மை செய்வதற்கு அரசிற்கு எடுத்துரைக்கலாமே? பள்ளி கல்வி என்பது மாணவர்கள் மனதில் கல்வியை மட்டும் போதிக்கும் இடமாக ஆகிவிட கூடாது சக மாணவர்களின் அன்பையும் மனித இயல்புகளையும் எந்த வித வேறுபாடுகளின்றி அந்த பருவத்தில் அவர்களுக்கு அமையவேண்டும்

"தயவுசெய்து உங்களுக்கு தெரிந்ததையும் அல்லது உள்ளதையும் மற்றவர்களுக்கு உதவுங்களேன்"

Instead of Samacheer education and making people like Cho suffer, Govt should instead move towards implementing practical methods of teaching and studies, so the students really benefit out of the education they learn and some real engineers and scientists are passing out of our colleges not the ones who do not know even some basics. Our current education system is useless and need drastic changes.

I dont know why they say samacheer is bad, I have seen 1st grade CBSE math and 1st grade TN smacheer stateboard math
I did not find many difference, why does Cho and folks think samacheer has lower quality?

NCERT, New Delhi has issued guidance , to all States to base the syllabus as per a standard norm. TN also has followed them. If all Schools in TN follow the common syllabus, Matriculation Schools cannot use "superior content" in their system as a selling point.

Even now, Plus 1,Plus 2, and all other courses in Higher Education have only Common syllabus In TN.

School syllabus can always be updated every 2-3 years.

So I think it is a conflict between commercial interests of Pvt players and others who want some equity.

CHO would have studied only in a Govt Board School,in Tamil medium, anything is wrong with him ?If no,what is the big fuss?

சிலர் விமானத்தில் போகிறார்கள்; சிலர் கார்களில் போகிறார்கள்; சிலர் மோட்டார் சைக்கிளில் செல்கிறார்கள்; ஆனால், பலர் நடந்து போகிறார்களே! ஐயோ, இந்த அநீதி தொடரலாமா? இனி ‘கால் நடை’தான் எல்லோருக்கும் சமச்சீர் போக்குவரத்து’ என்று சொல்வதா நியாயம்?



நான் கூட எதோ ஆக்கபூர்வமான கட்டுரை என்று நினைத்தேன். ஒரு தரமற்ற பத்திரிகை என்று மீண்டும் நிரும்பனம் ஆயிற்று!! திமுகவிற்கு எப்படி நக்கீரனோ, ஆதிமுகவிற்கு இந்த துக்ளக்!! அது எப்படி சமசீர் கல்வியை நடைக்கும், விமானம், ரயில்கும் ஒப்பிடுரங்க? மெட்ரிக்குலேசன் விமானத்துல படிச்சாலும் சரி, ஆங்கிலோ இந்தியன் ரயில் ல படிச்சாலும் சரி.. 11th, 12th la ஸ்டேட் போர்ட்க்கு தான் வந்தாகணும்... பொறியல் மற்றும் மருத்துவ படிப்பிற்கு, அரசு நடத்தும் கவுன்செலிங், அண்ணா பல்கலைகழகம், சென்னை மருத்துவ கல்லூரி, சோ போன்ற ஆசாமிகள் எதற்கு தேவை? நேரா ரயில் பிடிச்சி தில்லி, மும்பை, பெங்களுரு ஹாய்- டெக் காலேசுக்கு போயி சேர வேண்டியது தானே? இல்லையெனில் நேர விமானம் பிடிச்சி சுவாமி படிச்சா ஹர்வாத் பல்கலைகழகம் போயிசேர வேண்டும்....

note: I studied in matric board, but when it comes to 11th and 12th, these matric craps, anglo indian craps goes into garbage and every one prepare for same books. Etho Matric board la padichavanga ellam 12th la 200/200 vangina mathiri matric board is flight, state board walk nu kenathanama comparisons! Instead of writing this crap, Thuklak could have simply mentioned, that we support business making matriculation schools!

Matric school are really scared that their business will fall if this samacheer kalvi is implemented, otherwise why these management care for real standard of books!!

Even if standard is low, there are enough scope for improving the standard in due course!

Even now TN students are not able to compete and come poor in all india exams like IIT JEE,AIEEE for NIT admissions and even VIT entrance. Andhra students dominate such exams

This is the case when at present matriculation syllabus is at least near to CBSE syllabus. When we lower the standards of matriculation syllabus to match state board (govt schools) syllabus in the name of samacheer kalvi, imagine what would be the standards of TN students coming out of 10th std and how much they will struggle in 12th to compete all india level exams.

If the court does not accept TN govt's stand, then more CBSE schools will come all over TN and people will gradually switch over to CBSE syllabus. Again there will not be any samacheer kalvi. There will be one lower std samacheer kalvi syllabus vs higher std CBSE syllabus

^^

One can see lot of CBSE school students switching to state board in 11th. Why is that so?

I agree CBSE standard is way higher than state board. But for those who really want to enter into top engineering col, they really take the CBSE board well!

But majority join in CBSE school thinking that if the study in this board till 10th, it will be very easy for them to score marks in 11th and 12th TN state board. I can only laugh at this logic!

When state have enough engineering col, I don't think everyone will poke into CBSE. Also I agree the engineering col in the state is no on par with top eng col in the country. But compare it with 1990's and now? Very few col like AU, PSG, CIT, GCT had reputed tage. In 1990's colleges like Kumaraguru, Mepco, SSN, Satyabama, VIT, SRM might have got the tag "low standard col", but now they are into top col. In due course other col also will catch up.

I dont know why they say samacheer is bad, I have seen 1st grade CBSE math and 1st grade TN smacheer stateboard math
I did not find many difference, why does Cho and folks think samacheer has lower quality?

I think we need to take the opinion of parents also. Most of the parents whose children study in matriculation schools do not want the syllabus to be diluted.

If we see the std of 7th or 8th, there is only one science subject instead of Physics, chemistry,Biology which they were studying in depth so far. In anglo indian stream it is like this (only science subject) and coverage is low. If the students study till 10th std with such low coverage of topics, then it will be difficult to suddenly switch over to the level of +2 requirement.

On the other hand in the state govt schools now this samacheer kalvi's syllabus is much more than what they were teaching sofar. Most of the teachers in govt schools are not competant enough to teach the subjects.Since teachers are appointed on seniority basis in the employment exchanges and not on merit, they all studied these subjects decades ago ( having much lower level syllabus). So it will be a tricky situation to implement samacheer kalvi in govt schools also. Since all pass is there till 8th std, teachers and students from 9th std will face the music

They can have special syllabus for high performing students in state boards. Most countries have such an options for students who want to learn more than the standard stuff.

They can have special syllabus for high performing students in state boards. Most countries have such an options for students who want to learn more than the standard stuff.

and they can have colour or specially designed uniforms, cushioned sofa and a special fan/ac over their head for high donation giving students too....and we can quote this is followed in some countries...

note: in india too, that system is there..for ex. in anna univ itself one can take up more electives if they want in some streams...
but that is only ELECTIVES.. not in syllabus.

What does donations have to do with anything? In many countries, meritorious school students are enrolled in special programs which teach tougher syllabus. It has nothing to do with uniforms, sofas or what have you.

then there is no need of all these talk of "sama cheer kalvi " and all.... let the cbse, matric system itself continue... coz, as per our indian definition , matric and cbse students are more meritorious than state board students.. isnt it ?

as u told when they r enrlled in special programs, it shud be SPECIAL programs only..
the basic SYLLABI should be EQUAL to one n all.. thats wat the talk going here..

let us first solve the problem of basic equal SYLLABI first and then we can discuss abt how to feed those extra meritorious students...

and i wud really luvto have a discussion on understanding what that MERIT is? and even if some students are MERITORIOUS, how come only they become MERITORIOUS in the given lot...what (extra) opportunities are provided to them to become extra meritorious... but not now..

let us first solve the basic fundamental equation first.. thats wat my argument was!!

cross posting from CBE IT thread

For those who shed crocodile tears and support the views like, what can Chennai government do? we can only build IT parks and invite companies, don't blame government for companies not choosing outside chennai blah bla bla...this is what IT minister has to say

--------------------------------------------------------

Source (http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/info-tech/article2311241.ece)

Tiruchi, July 31:

Most of the new IT parks in Tamil Nadu do not have adequate infrastructural facilities to attract multinational software companies and big companies such as Infosys, Wipro and Tata Consultancy Services, the Information and Technology Minister, Mr R B. Udhaykumar, said here today.

The Minister, who was here to inspect the recently set up IT park at Navapattu near here said 11 companies had booked office space in the Park.

“The same situation prevails in IT parks at Madurai, Salem, Tirunelveli and Coimbatore,” he said.

Even now TN students are not able to compete and come poor in all india exams like IIT JEE,AIEEE for NIT admissions and even VIT entrance. Andhra students dominate such exams

That can be only a partial reason for TN students not flaring in JEE & other national examinations. Our TN students are bit content with Anna university n PSG kind of top notch colleges in the state. Very few really really take pain to prepare for other examinations and many of them dont even care to apply to these examinations. They just focus on our state institutions. A person in anna university is no less than one at IIT's .

As you said Andhra students do it, because they have a craze for these IIT's and you can see many of them sitting for 2 years just preparing for JEE/ GATE etc., such are the things evident from the coaching institutes sprawling across andhra. I find many of andhra students doesnt want to study at 2 or 3rd degree engg college there and just opt SRM rather. ( This was the thing many of my andhra friends told me, one reason for such a attitude is that placements are better in TN colleges )

On samacheer kalvi, Only the pvt players so far playing the role of matriculation schools are at stake, so they just want to get away with this system. And also these schools cannot collect fees at their will. Now many of these schools started looking to open CBSE schools and our middle class educated people think that CBSE would be better than samacheer kalvi and will throng to these school gates.

One can notice that last year n this year, TN has got CBSE pvt schools even in rural areas. And urban centres like cbe, now all the new schools are CBSE board and charge exorbitant.( Suguna Rips school charge 80000 for 1st std ) :bash:
The only benefit/curse that our next generation get for these mushrooming CBSE schools is to boycott TAMIL and learn hindi from lkg. ( Hindi tuition s ku eppove mouse adhigam aaiduchu ... I think TN may become another karnataka in near future where kannada is unofficially becoming the third language)

Why CTS has to come to CBE Tidel Park by paying a higher rent when they get a cheap space in the college land in CBE itself ? Why WIPRO has to come to TIDEL Park when they have their own land?

In Madurai, MKA group kidnapped a few interested companies Reps who came to look for TIDEL PARK space to their Daya IT Park. How will it get filled up?

Btwn Jaya was first leader in country to show confidence in Sky bus. She wanted it for chennai and coimbatore way back then,

too bad that for metro purpose and kickbacks aaloo and safety certifiers ensured it neither got go ahead for further tests or funds.

now i see positive development. recent report.

The Konkan Railway has decided to invite global Expression Of Interest (EOI) for Sky Bus metro system, six years after a fatal mishap during a trial run derailed the project.


"We have decided to take the Sky Bus technology ahead for its commercial utilisation, and for that, we are inviting the global expression of interest shortly," a senior Konkan Railway official said.

Necessary ground work for inviting the global bid is being completed and it will be issued soon, the official said.

Sky Bus is elevated suspended coach rail transportation system.

In September 2004, one person was killed and three others were injured when the Konkan Railway Corporation Sky Bus Metro coaches hit the piers of the track during a trial run at the Margao Railway Station in Goa.

"The flaw that reportedly caused the accident has been rectified, and we have implemented certain other safety measures to make it a foolproof system," said the official.

Since then, the Konkan Railway has successfully tested the modified system which is also eco-friendly.

There are many cities which are keen to adopt the Sky Bus metro system as a mode of urban transportation, he said.

Sky Bus comprises suspended light weight coaches that run well above the regular road traffic at a frequency of one minute and can travel up to 100 km per hour. It can be built over the central road dividers.

About the project cost, the official said, "It cost about Rs 100 crores per km for the Sky Bus metro system."

I agree with you on many issues I think, including local autonomy in India. I think India should have local self-governance. We have too much centralization with unaccountable people who have neither the will nor the expertise to run things.

That's why we don't have referendums in India which allow states to secede, because we as common people cannot predict the geopolitical implications of such things which involve multiple foreign powers, over whom we have no influence or control. What we can do very well is run our own affairs, so we should focus on internal democracy atleast till the stage when we are sure that nobody can harm our collective interests.

Well said, but have a very few concerns.I want to add one point, India is a very large country with diverse culture, with more than 3 relegions and more than 1000 sub-groups, 24+ langauges; it is hard to fulfill the expectations of different sections of the society. no one can expect the government to do so. AMO, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter whoever wins , but no one should lose i.e the collective interests of different sect of society has to be protected. but that is not the case in reality. So far approximately more than 700 fishermen were shot down by the SL navy and the govt of India remains as a silent spectator. Even pakistan hasn't been so ruthless if Indian fishermen cross boundaries, but still Indian govt supports SL in all its endeavors. Do you find any rationale here? When India want to enact its policy of collective interests it has to do so uniformly

You spoke about autonomy and too much centralisation, AMO TN should be bestowed with 2 autonomous power: 1) a special police force to patrol near the palk strait to prevent any casualities to TN fisherman 2) the revenue generated from railways in TN and the developmental works (railway projects) that are carried out in TN doesn't tally with each other. Everyone in TN forums know the reason about that and de-centralisation will be the only solution for that.


Good. Then you know how Canada was founded by European immigrants who basically wiped out the native populations.

Wait..wait I am speaking about post modern era, about the Union of Canda which is soverign, democratic and a republic nation. When aborgines were wiped out there was no terrtories, it was just called as North America. If we speak about colonisation, the disucssion will be retrospective and it will lead to neonderthal era:)

அழகிரியின் மதுரை சாம்ராஜ்ஜியத்தின்ஊழல், அதிகார வேர்களை தெஹெல்கா வார இதழ் கொஞ்சம் எளிதில் புரிகிற மாதிரி ஒரு சார்ட் தயாரித்து 06-08-2011 தேதியிட்ட இதழில் வெளியிட்டிருக்கிறது. கொஞ்சம் குறைச்சலாகத்தான் மதிப்பிட்டிருக்கிறார்கள் என்று தோன்றுகிறது!

ஏனென்றால் அடிப்பொடிகளே, ஐநூறு கோடி, ஆயிரம் கோடி என்று சம்பாதித்திருப்பதாகச் சொல்லப்படும்போது தெற்கு மண்டல சுல்தானுக்கு மட்டும் கம்மியாக இருக்க முடியுமா, சாத்தியமா என்பதை வாசகர்கள் தான் ஊகித்துச் சொல்ல வேண்டும்.


பொட்டு சுரேஷுக்கு ஐநூறு கோடி, கோ.தளபதிக்கு நானூறு கோடி, அட்டாக் பாண்டிக்கு முன்னூறு கோடி என்று அடிப்பொடிகள் ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் உத்தேசமாக எவ்வளவு தேறும் அல்லது தேற்றியிருப்பார்கள் என்று சிறு குறிப்பும் இந்தக் கட்டுரையில் வெளியாகியிருக்கிறது.

இன்றைக்கு, காமன்வெல்த் விளையாட்டுப் போட்டி ஊழலில் தில்லி முதல்வர் ஷீலா தீட்சித்தின் பங்கையும் தணிக்கைத்துறை நூறுபக்க அறிக்கையில் தெள்ளத் தெளிவாக, எட்டு வகையாகப் பிரித்து வெளியிட்டிருக்கிறது. தனக்கு எந்த சம்பந்தமுமில்லை என்றே பேசி வந்த ஷீலா தீட்சித் இன்றைய கேள்விகளுக்குப் பதில் சொல்ல மறுத்திருக்கிறார். இது பெரிதாக வெளிவந்த அளவுக்கு, இரண்டு நாட்களுக்கு முன்னால், இதே தணிக்கைத்துறை, உர மானியங்களில் சுமார் 50587 கோடி ரூபாய் வரை ஊழல் நடந்திருப்பதாகத் தெரிவித்திருந்ததை, ஊடகங்கள் பெரிதாக அலட்டிக் கொள்ளவில்லை. செய்தி இங்கே.

ரசாயனம் மற்றும் உரத்துறை அமைச்சர் அ'னாதான் என்றாலும், அண்ணன் மதுரையை சுற்றியே தன்னுடைய கோட்டையைக் கட்டிக் கொண்டிருந்ததில், அங்கே அவருக்குப் பிராக்சியாக செயல்பட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்த இணையமைச்சர் ஸ்ரீகாந்த் ஜேனா என்ன செய்து கொண்டிருந்தார் என்பதே தெரியாத அண்ணன் மேலேயே முழுப் பழியையும் சுமத்திவிட முடியாது என்று தான் தோன்றுகிறது.

ஐ மு கூட்டணிக் குழப்பம் வெர்ஷன் இரண்டு! சிக்கல்கள் பெரிதாகிக் கொண்டே வருகிற இந்தத் தருணத்தை விட்டால் பிரதமராகிற வாய்ப்பு வேறெப்போதும் கிடைக்காது என்று பிரணாப் குமார் முகர்ஜி சில உள்வேலைகளை செய்து கொண்டிருக்கிறார்.

மன்மோகன் கழன்று கொள்கிறாரா என்ன!!

கேடி பிரதர்ஸ். பிரணாப் தயவில் மிக சாமர்த்தியமாகக் காய்களை நகர்த்திக் கொண்டிருப்பதாகத் தகவல்கள் வந்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றன. கலாநிதி மாறன் நாடு திரும்பியாயிற்றா, போலீஸ் சம்மன் என்ன ஆயிற்று என்பதே தெரியாத நிலையில், சன்டீவீ மீது புகார் கொடுத்தவர்கள் எல்லாம், புகாரில் சமரசம் ஏற்பட்டுத் தங்களுக்கு சேர வேண்டியது கிடைத்துவிட்டதாகப் புகார்களை வாபஸ் வாங்கிக் கொள்ள ஆரம்பித்திருக்கும் சித்து விளையாட்டுக்கள் நடந்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றன.



இதைத்தான், முந்தைய பதிவில், தாத்தா பேரன்களிடமிருந்து கற்றுக்கொள்ள வேண்டியது நிறையவே இருக்கிறது என்றும் சொல்லியிருந்தேன்.

சிபி ஐ மூன்றாவது துணைக் குற்றப்பத்திரிகையை எப்போது தாக்கல் செய்யப் போகிறது என்பதோ, எவரெவர் பெயர்கள் அதில் இருக்கும், கைதுகள் இருக்கும் என்பது தெளிவாக இல்லாத நிலையில் அழகிரி, அட்டாக் பாண்டி என்று லோகல் ரேஞ்சில் மட்டுமே பேசிக் கொண்டிருக்க வேண்டியது தானா?

i.e. a model of direct democracy, where local people can vote on issues and take collective decisions about their neighbourhoods. Somewhat along the lines of say Switzerland.

Skybus interest was shown in 2001-2006 rule for Chennai and Coimbatore. Skybus project is closed and will never take off again because of the failure in first trial run at Madgoan.

Monorail is much better than skybus and much suited for Coimbatore and Madurai.

:shocked: Local autonomy :shocked: If it is implemented in a caste driven TN, i can't imagine the situation. Caste politics is doing a lot of damage and it is one of the reason for corruption. At present, in many places in TN, caste leaders make decissions and is followed by all those who belong to that particular caste. If local autonomy comes in place, then situation will worsen a lot. Caste leaders will become prominent.

Local autonomy will actually weaken caste politics. There will be lesser fights over things like subsidies and government jobs. Marginalized communities will be able to manage their own affairs rather than hope for equal treatment from other-caste leaders.

Many countries like Phillippines, Brazil etc. are experimenting with direct democracy at the local level and it is delivering good results, since people at the grassroots understand their own problems much better than some guy sitting in the state or national capital. Also they are far more motivated to solve these problems since it involves their own life.

Of course, centralized institutions have their own role to play. So it's a complicated matter and we will have to make good decisions about which aspects of governance work better if handled at the central/state level, and which ones work better when handled at the local level.

At the moment we should focus on accountability and transparency, which will allow people to demand better services from the government servants and give them the tools to take punitive and legal action if those services are delayed,denied or sub-standard.

400 Cr for Hogenakkal project shows their priority. The project cost is 1600 Cr. Previous govt walooking for loan from Japan for this and spent treasury money on free TVs. I hope this 400Cr is not the one expected from Japan.

waiting for transport sector!!

nothng on trnspt dept so far?

Chennai: 30 peruvalisalai to be made of world standards/

he he KT?

Chennai metropolitan development fund- 500 cr

Corporation development fund for other cities- 750cr

4.2 tmcft increase in water storage capacity for chennai, 3 new lakes like at thevroy kandigaietc. 6 lakes to be upgraded

transport on now

^^ PPP model means? (Is that Private Public Partnership)

PPP for commercial development of terminus depots

3000 new buses for this yr

Now transport!!

45. PPP model commercial complex at important bus stand.
46. 3000 new buses in 2011-12

UMTA for chennai. - metro, mono, buses.

mono rail funding will be stiched up by this yr.

disappointing overall on transport.

47. Metro will get integrated with monorail

----he thats all in transport... as usual namam for CBE, Madurai and Trichy monorail

UMTA for chennai. - metro, mono, buses.

mono rail funding will be stiched up by this yr.

disappointing overall on transport.

Yes! Just 2-3lines.... and fund allocation for Metro?

When other dept like agric, manufacturing, it, education, healthcare was explained so much,, i wonder why transport was left! So pathetic condition will continue...

3000 bus looks to be some relief! May be 1000 for Chennai and 2000 for other zones.

Lukewarm budget, overall. Yeah, Chennai seems to be favoured to an unfair amount.

TN govt to distribute free sanitary napkin for Village women, said Finance Minister O.Panneerselvam. He said, Rs. 46 cr fund has been allotted for this year for this scheme.

TN govt to distribute free sanitary napkin for Village women, said Finance Minister O.Panneerselvam. He said, Rs. 46 cr fund has been allotted for this year for this scheme.

Promotion of menstrual hygiene among
adolescent girls will go a long way to reduce the risk of
infection and infertility in future. The Government of India
has announced a scheme for sale of sanitary napkins to
rural girls at a subsidized cost of ` 6 per pack of 6 napkins
in 10 districts. This Government proposes to distribute
the napkins free of cost to these rural girls through
the ICDS network using the Village Health Nurses in
the entire State. A sum of ` 46 crores is provided in
the Revised Budget Estimates for this purpose

Chennai: 30 peruvalisalai to be made of world standards/

he he KT?

Chennai metropolitan development fund- 500 cr

Corporation development fund for other cities- 750cr

I guess the funds for ROB, flyover, ring road project for other cities usually comes through state highways department. 8000crores will be spent on roads by state for next 3yrs(committed by previous and present gvt).

So ring road, flyover projects of tier II cities other towns will get funds from there.

38. Free Laptop scheme to start from sep 15th.
39. 912crores allotted for giving 9.2lakhs laptop in 2011-12
40. Trichy GH to be upgraded to super specialty hospital with 100crores

Looks because of Srirangam, Trichy is getting some attention now.... but it is disappointing to see no speach on monorail.

This Government has decided to start a new National Law
School and an Indian Institute of Information
Technology in Srirangam constituency.

Click here (http://www.assembly.tn.gov.in/budget/Revised_Budget_Speech_e_2011_2012.pdf) to read the full text of budget speech.

Trichy already has a TN Govt Law College, if I remember right.

It looks like the Central Govt National Law School.

WoW. Trichy now will have NIT, IIM, BIM & NLS.

^^ Sorry for being ignorant. But whats the status of IIM now? They said they are gonna start the classes in existing campus.. Where is the site for new campus?

^^ Sorry for being ignorant. But whats the status of IIM now? They said they are gonna start the class in existing campus.. Where is the site for new campus?

Currently inside NIT campus. Old Library building has been renovated to house IIM.

New campus is near BIM campus, I think.

Latest Status - I do not know.

Arul & others,

Can you look into funds allocation of Municipal Administration & Water Supplies (MAWS) and get a break up ?

Most of the key infra projects come under this only for entire TN.

Corporation, Municipalities, Panchayats, Water Supply, Sewerage Treatment, Rural Development (even Rural Roads) all come under this head.

Lets see how much they really implement!! We are so used to promises being made..

I think all those freebies will definitely be implemented as they r the ones that attract media coverage and capture votes!! Not so sure abt the infrastructure part..

except transport sector, all other departments are fairly addressed..
I welcome the effort to restore Pallikaranai marsh, improving water storage capacity for chennai.. expanding greater Chennai, PPP model on integrated Bus Stand...
Super speciality hospital in chennai,
money for river linking project..

25 crore allotted for new Collector office buildinga thanjavur-ku vidivu kalam vanthuruchupa....
MP-PM kitte Panam(finance) dept irunthum, avar onnum pannale...
On paper it all looks Good...

Its disappointing to see this SG attitude towards Railway projects in TN.. no word about improving/speeding up Railway projects in TN

Why can't all these discussions go into TN Economy thread?

Any news about CBE'S new collector office or upgradation of the old one..its really in sad state..

Currently inside NIT campus. Old Library building has been renovated to house IIM.

New campus is near BIM campus, I think.

Latest Status - I do not know.

IIMT- Temperory campus in NITT and permanent campus inbetween Bharathidasan University and Anna University in about 500 Acres.... Kabil Sibil inagurated new IIM before general Election....

I think, Classes also started for first batch...:)

Trichy already has a TN Govt Law College, if I remember right.

It looks like the Central Govt National Law School.

WoW. Trichy now will have NIT, IIM, BIM & NLS.

Trichy has Government Law college...

Also add Indian Institute of Information Technology [IIIT] as per the the budget speech (clause 4)

Why can't all these discussions go into TN Economy thread?

KannanJi, Please move all the budget discussion in TN economy thread...

I could find only this... I guess the expenditure for corporation wise or muncipal wise for 1 yr or 5yr detail is not available in online.

I could find only this... I guess the expenditure for corporation wise or muncipal wise for 1 yr or 5yr detail is not available in online.

It looks old.

Probably, they will load the latest funding ( this budget) later.

MAWS will be the major prime mover Dept(S) for Infra
Transport & Roads will be the next
PWD will be a major one.
Housing will deal only with Govt Housing.

Please keep watching.

Trichy is not the place to have these high end colleges...it should be coimbatore (apt choice) or else chennai. I do not know what thought run thru their minds that they keep IIM, NLS etc in Trichy!!!!!!!!

Trichy is center of TN. You can reach anywhere within TN in less than 5-6 hrs.
NIT Trichy is top educational institution.
From the olden days itself., Trichy is known for good educational institution.
There was a discussion to make it as a capital in During kamaraj period..

During MGR period i think

Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday underwent surgery at New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for an undisclosed ailment which will keep her out of India for a month.

Congress general secretary Janardhan Dwivedi said that in Sonia Gandhi's absence, she had appointed a four-member group to handle the day-to-day running of the party -- including her son Rahul Gandhi, who is tipped as a future prime minister.

The Congress party's announcement in New Delhi that its 64-year-old leader has been diagnosed for surgery and that Rahul, defence minister AK Antony, her political aide Ahmed Patel and Dwivedi will run the affairs of the party caught the country by total surprise because there was no inkling that she had travelled abroad.

Tehelka news magazine had reported on microblogging site Twitter that Sonia Gandhi was admitted on Thursday to New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the world's largest private cancer centre according to the hospital website. Renowned oncologist Dr Dattatreyudu Nori, director of the cancer centre at the New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens, was said to be attending on Sonia Gandhi.

The question here is not trichy but why trichy always?? It already has a 2 central institutions already like IIM n NIT. While madurai n cbe has none.

The question here is not trichy but why trichy always??.
It is not a industry.. Good Educational Institution.. so it should be at the place, where everybody can come and Study...
Since Tiruchi is a big educational hub and center of TN, very well connected,..better to have it in Trichy...

@brand coimbatore, If the TN government goes by your logic and decides to build one car factory in each city in TN, no car factory would have ever come to any city in TN as there would be no economies of scale. Now, since all car factories are in Chennai, it is easier to have allied industries and infrastructure. Similarly, Trichy is not known for anything...now it can be known as an educational hub. Coimbatore is known for pumps and wet grinders. It also has TNAU, PSG, CIT, etc.

CBE already have good no. of colleges(though no central institutions) and called as 2nd educational hub of TN. Let Trichy becomes 3rd and I agree Madurai needs its share... But Engineering college at Bodi might have been aimed for Madurai base. It could have been in Theni-Madurai road which would have been a better location than Bodi.

but Andipatti people elected amaiyar for two times and bargur one time(one gvt engg col is there), they didn't get jackpot like Srirangam people.... everyone can easily understand the reason. :|

Naikku pora podura madhiri South Tamilnattuku than indha engg college'a open panranga pola.Bitter embarrassment with TN government whether it is jaya or karuna, let them concentrate only in north tamilnadu.Let them create a World class infrastructure in chennai,Trichy & coimbatore.but what we need now is A SEPERATE STATE THAT FULL FILL OUR DREAMS.I am waiting for the day that south tn will become seperate state.

^^

:lol:

Anyway all the best for your dream on separate state to come true. First you need a political party to back up this idea. Soming thing like TRS in Telangana :)

Eppadi oru logic solli dhaan( economy of scale ) all the industries were set up only in chennai. Not blaming auto industry ,it does nt have a better place than chennai. But that doesn't justify them not bringing other sector specific industries to other places.
Educational industries doesn't need to be at the centre of the state, then all the state universities should have been in trichi only. Central univrsities will have their share for other state students mostly. My concern was it already has two .

Trichy is not the place to have these high end colleges...it should be coimbatore (apt choice) or else chennai. I do not know what thought run thru their minds that they keep IIM, NLS etc in Trichy!!!!!!!!

It is unfortunate to hear such a comment about a city which gave 2 noble laurates (CVR and Chandra) to the nation. Even 3rd one Venky also from Chidambaram ..another cauvery delta town.

Trichy is not the place to have these high end colleges...it should be coimbatore (apt choice) or else chennai. I do not know what thought run thru their minds that they keep IIM, NLS etc in Trichy!!!!!!!!

the apt choice for tamilnadu capital should be Trichy, not Chennai. :lol:

Arul,

Slight difference arul

as u say bargur got a college.

Andipatti got a 300 bed medical college hospital. she laid foundation stone in 2002 september.

During sabarimala episode, this was the major hospital which was quickest to reach. Many victims were brought here too.

Now a college at Bodi. its not just for paneer, but also because, she did nothing last ter.

I welcome it. this region is boxed into a corner and many go to madurai or kerala to study. this will also have some economic activity to these places.

I would want one more medical college in ramnad-tuticorin belt. dont know if one already exists.

Read somewhere recently that TN doesnt have enuf no of medical colleges and needs to up it.

either allow private ones to keep coming or govt must set up few more.

As for srirangam, this time ammaiyar wants to be seen as development oriented cm, she is targetting national discourse.

So u will see many goodies. 2 yrs down line if she cultivates press nicely, u may see them promote her like Nitish.

for them anyone other than bjp is good, so press may promote ammmaiyar as well.

2014 results will be flux, and if our people vote cleverly we may see first pm from TN.

The karnataka conundrum has clearly showed that unless bjp hq is bombarded as arun shourie once told, no chance for bjp to replace cong.

High time muka counterpart in terms of age in BJP retires.

soming thing to off the heat.......

the chance is very remote. As we discussed before, if 3rd front is formed again, congiee will be back to rule and raul will become PM.

IT companies to be encouraged to move into Tier-II cities...

Mr. Panneerselvam said IT exports in the State stood at Rs.40,000 crore in the year 2010-2011, and the government was committed towards facilitating further growth of the IT and ITES sectors. Part of this plan is to woo companies to move into Tier-II cities, and rural areas. Huge infrastructure had already been created in Tier-II cities and this would be aggressively marketed, the Finance Minister stated.

http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/article2323786.ece

A few days ago a loose cannon, the present IT Minister fired a heroic salvo, standing in front of IT Park built in tier 2 cities over lack of infrastructure created...

and now, the Budget says..read the quote!

Let us be happy that at least Trichy got something.

Many IT Big Companies have blocked lands in Tier II cities of TN for future. They may do some training centres maximum in the near future. Full fledged facilities may not come now.

Even if the Govt offers State of the Art facilities, unless SMEs take them, these IT facilities will not have much future.

TN Govt should remove the Export commitment clause for these IT parks in Tier II cities. Then only SMEs can come in big Nos. As an initial incentive, the Govt may fix a lower rent for a fixed period till the IT scene in Tire II cities pick up.

TIDEL Parks in Chennai & Coimbatore have been constructed, but not having the requirements of the clients in mind. When Private IT parks give 85%+ efficiency in floor space, TIDEL parks give less than 65%. The AC & Maintenance cost come almost double that of the pvt facilities (due to poor design & wastage). Marketing of space is done by deputed Govt employees from SIPCOT, TIDCO & ELCOT :lol: whereas the pvt companies are marketed by professionals (CBRE like).

Coimbatore should demand much more (NLS is too trivial) in terms of infra & industries as the region has been short changed by successive TN Govts.

Coimbatore City infra will continue with JNNURM funds. Flyovers & Roads seem to be on the front burner. Waste Management, water & sewer are also on the anvil.

Power will continue to be an issue at least for one more year. This will affect CBE more. The Cotton Policy of Central Govt has again screwed the CBE region economy. (Thanks to Junior KD Brother). This is a much bigger issue than IT Parks. Nobody has even protested from TN Political side.

Only Tiruppur issue has been addressed. Hopefully, Tiruppur will get back its glory.

CBE Salem Corridor may be an answer to many of the regions' woes. If concessions are given, private sector may come forward to invest in Infra for these.

Incidentally, I am letting a cat out of the bag. (to enthuse KT :) )

A proposal has gone for a very huge pvt sector edu campus in western region (Knowledge Park) with emphasis on foreign univs setting up campuses inside.
If it is okayed by the CG & SG, we can have Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT kinds of univs there :cheers:

Hope genuine ones come, not the bogus private univs from US or our local politicos will start some one room fake univs in seychelles, mauritius and bring it here with some fancy names like sitford, kambriggs .. etc

since some one from Trichy bad mouthed Chennai in Bengaluru, you don't like high end colleges coming at Trichy? :?

the apt choice for tamilnadu capital should be Trichy, not Chennai. :lol:

Actually I would like the administrative city to be moved to Trichy in phases. Chennai is getting huge amount of growth and it can grow of its own in the future irrespective of whether govt. is functioning from there or not. Something like a Special admin region should be created to plan & take care of Chennai's growth and that's more than enough

If admin city is created towards trichy, it will help focus the govt towards developing rest of the state, many parts of which were neglected in the past. It would bring govt closer to people, close enough to see what the problems actually are.

I guess this program may fit for 95% of SSC members!! :lol:

Otherwise most of the members may be posting in U.S, Europe, Chennai, Bengaluru forums only.

I dont think, 3rd Front will be a viable option in next Lok Sabha Election.
1. CPM,CPI got severe beating.. virtually they are not anywhere except few in KL, WB.. that too in WB.. Didi will sweep in 2014 as well.
2. In Kerala, CPI/CPM and Cong will share the votes this time or Cong might take few more..
2. In Orissa, BJD is still not as much as strong to sweep the state.
3. In Andhra.. Telegu Desam is not even in Picture, by going alone.. He might fall to BJP only..because Chiranjeevi has moved to Cong..
4. In Karnataka, Kumaraswamy is also very Weak. Adv BJP & Cong Gains
5. In U.P,both Mayawati/Mulayam will split it.. and they will not align under 1 front..they will play a key role.. again, U.P election next year will give us the idea.. Mayawati is out anyway.. but by how much margin & what is her impact on CG...
6. Ajit Singh will go to any party...
7. NCP , they need to stick with Cong only...
8. In Maharastra, Raj thackrey who split the votes last time, is moving closer with BJP. He recently visited Guj and they honoured him as a state Guest.
9. only JJ & DiDi can dictate the terms.. but how much?

Let me put my other theories...

1. BJP will not allow this Govt to run til 2014.. because they do not have a unanimous choice for PM now. they will not have @ 2014 as well.
2. So, they might tend to topple this Govt in the next 6-8 months, so that they can reap the anti-incumbancy factor against CG now...
3. This move also allow BJP to bargain more with JJ & Didi, if the election is going to happen before next year... More time they get, less chance for BJP to dictate terms over them..
. It is easy for both of them to switch easily to BJP side since there is no time to form a strong 3rd Front. They need to be part of CG, to have a strong arm in the SG.
4. BJP can easily put pressure on TDP, BJD.. both of them did not get any benefits by going alone in 2009. so Does ADMK..
5. More importantly Sonia's Health... BJP may not like Rahul to get stronghold in the next 2 yrs.. they will put pressure on Cong, by bringing down the Govt..

Looking at all these facts, i think BJP will go in this direction only...
this is the lesson that they need to learn from TN. JJ won just because of anti-incumbancy and absence of other choice..

If this CG last 2014,,(which 90% will not happen), 2014 election mandate will be a mess!
kooti kazhichu parunga! kanakku correct-a varum!

Please dont come and say other state students wont prefer Trichy.

Our state students only will not prefer Trichy why to go to other state students.....I have many such experineces in my frds circle...even i wont let my daughter study in Trichy. if she gets seat in Trichy and equally accredited college in Bangalore or Mumbai...I will prefer Bng or Mumbai & not Trichy..If the same instiution is in CBE or Chennai, I will go for it...

This year one of my colleagues daughter got seat in Trichy and Pune..she chose Pune and said no to Trichy....Exposure to outside world is very less when a student studies in Trichy rather than in Pune..

So you mean to say - a place in center of each state should be made as capital..:nuts::nuts:. Then Delhi should not be capital of India or Bangalore should not be capital of Karnataka & neither Mumbai. Common...center of the state, travelling is easy - all these are not reason to set up a education hub. Exposure & proximity to corporates are also important.

A place best suited for being education hub is coimbatore, if not for any reason CBE is not selected it should be Chennai....

You cannot say just becuase it is center of the state it should have all education institutions...

It is not a industry.. Good Educational Institution.. so it should be at the place, where everybody can come and Study...
Since Tiruchi is a big educational hub and center of TN, very well connected,..better to have it in Trichy...

Again CEnter of TN....oooopppps.

By locating these institutions in Trichy - TN is losing some bright students...to other states who do not want to opt Trichy as place for higher studies.

En madam Trichy mela evlo gandu?? In what way trichy is less "outside world exposure friendly" than say cbe??

This year one of my colleagues daughter got seat in Trichy and Pune..she chose Pune and said no to Trichy....Exposure to outside world is very less when a student studies in Trichy rather than in Pune..

I totally disagree, In this modern Smartphone -Internet age size of town or city does not matter you dont have to stydy in corporate boom cities to get the exposure, In US most of the ivyleague or popular schools are from small towns and even in India reputed schools are in small towns like Ooty, kodaikanal, yercaud, dehradun.

NIT suratkal and trichy are still better than SRM or Crescent college in Chennai.

Even a small town in US gets all high speed, good medical facilities and US villages cannot be compared with many of the cities of India in those factors.
The city matters a lot and most people would love to live in a happening place which I find even CBE is way too slow/boring/backward compared to Pune/BLore.

Same goes with BIM...
We are not talking about IIT & IIM here.. All this thread started about why IIIT @ Srirangam..& your argument on TPJ lacking "Exposure"
If you are saying, there is no Enough Exposure, why one of the Premium institutions like IIM started in TPJ?

There are plenty of quality Educational institutions around TPJ and People from these Institutions are working throughout the world...
So i will not buy the argument of TPJ lacking quality Exposure.

As per the Rankings 2011, (i read it in some post here)...
next to IIT, Anna university and NIT Trichy is Ranked...
out of top 50 Rank, 6-7 of them are from TN.. that includes VIT, CBE-Amritha
See the campus placement records of SASTRA..

Our state students only will not prefer Trichy why to go to other state students.....I have many such experineces in my frds circle...even i wont let my daughter study in Trichy. if she gets seat in Trichy and equally accredited college in Bangalore or Mumbai...I will prefer Bng or Mumbai & not Trichy..If the same instiution is in CBE or Chennai, I will go for it...

Huh I am still wondering. How come such an educated professional control, interfere and decide their child's educational preference? We want our country to be democratic, but there is no democracy inside the family..

Nevertheless, its your family and you have all the rights to defend your words..

This year one of my colleagues daughter got seat in Trichy and Pune..she chose Pune and said no to Trichy....Exposure to outside world is very less when a student studies in Trichy rather than in Pune..

APJ Adbul kalam got his degree in physics in same trichy in a college called St.Joseph's college before pursuing aero at MIT. Didn't he get exposure?

So is it fine if someone studies at Kekran Mekran engg college at Pune than studying at NIT at Trichy?

There are still stereotyped mindset among people. Education is what you possess and how you receive and exhibit. Not what a city possesses.


Again CEnter of TN....oooopppps.

Only idiots will be the losers if they persuade their children to join in xyz college than to IIM/NIT/NLS at trichy.

படிக்கற பசங்க எங்க இருந்தாலும் படிக்கும். உருப்படாம போற கேசுங்க எங்க இருந்தாலும் கெட்டு குட்டி செவுரா போகும். Its not dependant on which city one studies but it does matter which institution and which course he/she studies.

If IITs were located in these towns instead of other metro cities, they would have also got ranked in top 10. It wouldn't have made any difference. No student who gets an admission in IIT denies it because it is located in so n so place. They may deny only if they dont get the course they wish.

Exposure to outside world is very less when a student studies in Trichy rather than in Pune..



I can tell only one exposure! Pune has more pubs than Trichy... so exposure will be more in Pune than Trichy...

this is why many pub exposure wanted people dont prefer Chennai. On this pub exposure point of view, then these central institutions cannot be placed any where in TN... may be TN gvt can ask CG to place in Bengaluru for TN quota.

I think what she means is that Trichy is not as cosmopolitan as Pune.

I think what she means is that Trichy is not as cosmopolitan as Pune.
what way "cosmopolitan" is going to change your studies yar?
We have Good international schools at Ooty, Kodaikanal...
They are not cosmopolitan...
Madurai Thiyagaraja is 1 of the leading educational institution..
Coimbatore's PSG is one of the reputed famous institution..
Karagpur is cosmopolitan?
Even till some years back Chennai is not a cosmopolitan city.. but still IIT, Anna university is there..
big companies not hiring from NIT or SASTRA?

Compare to Bangalore, Mumbai.. Chennai is late entry to IT Industry..Still It is able to match up other cities because of quality resources available in TN..
For Exposure if we need to go Pune means, Chennai would not have grown this much..

I am not sure Chennai is late entry to IT. There were quite a few companies by mid/late nineties.

As wlbkng said, you can very well take decision to send your daughter / son/ friends to kekran mekran college in so called Metro cities of Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune...

If your friend opted for kekran mekran college of pune than NITT as per your advice then definately he/ she will feel the pain...

I don't know, why you are comparing with Pune, Bangalore, Mumbai with Trichy.... :nuts::nuts:

Just come and look at NITT, BIM, SASTRA, SRM Campus, etc...and decide yourself, why so many outsiders are opted for Trichy...In another 5 years, add IIMT, IIIT too...

As an old student of REC Trichy (now NITT) I know how many students from other states are eager in joining NITT. In my batch even Andhra topper came to RECT. People who studied in RECT are in flying colours throughout the world. Maximum people from TN studying in NITT comes from chennai.

Trichy has very good educational institutions in the country.

I personally feel IIIT could have been given to some other TierII city in TN (my choice madurai) so that they also become a good center of learning.

I guess Kannan and engineer.Akash are from RECT.

^^ Yes, Kannan and Akash also from RECT / NITT

(Just for time pass)

Guys..Have some doubt.

Having that weapon in back of a lady may sound dangerous, but what is the probability she take that weapon without hurting herself(in emergency).

There is a big handle in that Aruval, So it cannot be taken with Top-Up approach. as the handle will stuck with Blouse.
Similarly if she try to take the same from bottom-Lowering approach sharp edge may hurt her back.

Any more method available for that lady other than undressing to get her weapon? :gunz:

^^
Just for time pass:

Women are used to hooking/unhooking their br@ by expertly bending their hands behind their back and performing the task delicately which a man may find it hard to do well even if he is requested to help out.

So the difficulties you pointed out are not real difficulties for the dexterous women.

Anyways,I haven't seen women carrying large knives to defend themselves. My thought was that she uses the knife in her day to day work but on closer examination it can be seen that the knife is rusty and has not been used much. So, it is anybody's guess as to the purpose and utility of that knife to that woman.

:lol:

It will be a exciting death...

^^
May be ..... May be not.

You had imagined only one scenario. :)

That would really depend on the reason behind taking her knife out.

First of all. How did she kept that inside?

Aruvala eppadi ulla vachaa?

First of all. How did she kept that inside?

Aruvala eppadi ulla vachaa?

Technically there will not be any problem in inserting the aruval...Because
Aruval is leaner than Aruval Handle. So with Top-down approach first part to get in is Handle then the aruval. So nothing will get struck inbetween...

Saturday is school Leave?...

u may be correct in giving one probability. That is by straightening the Back blouse can be made little loose, then using the hand backwards to push the "handle" inside and at the same time pulling out the Aruval from another hand.....Wov a Lady villan character in cinema with this costume will give "Lady Virumandi"

Wake up to reality. Anyone will agree that Trichy can not be compared with Pune in size and cosmopolitan culture, but not in educational institues of repute.

@ Raji7373's comments:

I think that you guys have read too much in between the lines from her post.

As our CBE friends say, there is an anguish that CBE did not get and other areas are getting.

Coimbatore regions has a good no of fantastic institutes even though the Govts did not care much. As per our surveys, the highest no of engg graduates come from here in TN.


Raji7373,

Location of Edu institutes and cosmopolitan nature are no way connected really.

Selecting a school / college is a personal choice.

I shunned Pilani and selected NIT Trichy (REC then).
Indian Sun selected Pilani and shunned NIT Trichy. (Paththa Vechutten)

Both of us are not wrong.

Apart from ranking, our families look for other comfort factors (for eg: hostel facilities, distance from where you or your relatives live, branch availability etc). When girl children are involved, we are more careful.

Your kids must be too young now to be bothered so much about that now.

(My son is doing 12th now and I am keeping my fingers crossed)

Cheers :cheers:

I will not say it is wrong if somebody from Chennai selects a mookai engg college in say Chennai when a seat was offered in a good engg college say in West Bengal. It is purely a personal choice.

Guys,

^^ Ya even I got from one of my frnds.. But looking at it closely, the formatting and the language makes me feel like someone has done it in ms-office and copied it with the wikileaks banner..

this is fake guys. came aweek bck. then wikileaks also clarified it

this is fake guys. came aweek bck. then wikileaks also clarified it

Thanks Mr.Kumar for clarifying.... but oru nappasai ...if it was a real one having Annai's name on the top.

Local autonomy will actually weaken caste politics. There will be lesser fights over things like subsidies and government jobs. Marginalized communities will be able to manage their own affairs rather than hope for equal treatment from other-caste leaders.

This might be applicable to orissa or WB not to Tn, espescially south TN. In WB or Orissa people joined forces against land acquisition. But in TN unless either one of the dominant Dravidian parties oppose for certain things, people won't agitate against anything, even if they agitate they will be pacified by their caste leaders. To qoute some examples, Coco-cola accquired a vast area of fertile agricultural land (by govt), none of the dravidian parties opposed it and the local people who first opposed the project were pacified by caste leaders. The same is the case with Koddankulam reactor land acquisition, Tuticorin Sterlite land acquisition. MDMK is the only party fighting against this, not even the communists. The mariginaized communities are mixed up with either one of the dominant caste and even now in this modern era, the problem of untouchability exists. Then how come these people can exercise their rights.

Of course, centralized institutions have their own role to play. So it's a complicated matter and we will have to make good decisions about which aspects of governance work better if handled at the central/state level, and which ones work better when handled at the local level.

My native place is a sensitive area were rallies , protests and caste based riots is a common thing. All the internal organisations like municipalities, corporation and even other state/central govt offices are more corrupt when compared to other parts of TN. None of the govts headed by the dravidian parties has the guts to stop this, becuase these internal organisations are needed by the state/ central govt in many ways. In return, these internal organisations are kept unchecked by both the state as well as central govt. So will the govts (either it may be state or central) will be really interested in implementing local autonomy?

Many countries like Phillippines, Brazil etc. are experimenting with direct democracy at the local level and it is delivering good results, since people at the grassroots understand their own problems much better than some guy sitting in the state or national capital. Also they are far more motivated to solve these problems since it involves their own life.

If this is succesfully implemented it will be good. The problem with our country we will face unprecedented hurdles during the implementation phase.


At the moment we should focus on accountability and transparency, which will allow people to demand better services from the government servants and give them the tools to take punitive and legal action if those services are delayed,denied or sub-standard.

Thats true :)

It is roaming in FB for past one week. 100% fake!! And no one from BJP is there... only INC+DMK personalities are there. :)

Click here (http://www.assembly.tn.gov.in/budget/Revised_Budget_Speech_e_2011_2012.pdf) to read the full text of budget speech.

As usual pattai namam for south TN :bash:

Vetenary college in Nellai was anounced by the DMK govt and aatha gave a good halwa for nellai.:bash:

All the development works carrried out in nellai, Kanyakumari and tuticorin are only power projects. More than the people of the respective districts mentioned above, it is the govt which is really benefited from the above projects.


Atleast they must have borught IIT to Madurai. Other than the namakkal students, students from south TN espescially palayamkottai score the top 3 ranks in 10 th and 12 th. The top 3 pass percentage are from KK, virudhunagar and nellai district. But for higher education, either you have to pack up for chennai or CBE. There is no central govt institutions or research centres withinin 130 KM radius in South TN. Still the govt is interested in setting up IIT in trichy which already has NIT.

@Wikileaks: Ya definitely a fake. Some spellings are wrong (Sarath Pawar and Chitham Baram :lol:) and uppercases have not been used for some names.

7-Aug-2011, TheNewIE (http://expressbuzz.com/nation/cag-bursts-mk-alagiris-fertilizer-bomb/301793.html)

NEW DELHI: DMK leader and Union Minister M K Alagiri is in the news for the wrong reasons again. In its report submitted to Parliament, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has faulted the Department of Fertilisers (DoF)— which falls under Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers headed by him—for not co-operating with the agency during its performance audit report on the fertiliser subsidy.
CAG Vinod Rai and Principal Director of Audit K R Sriram have requested Parliament and its Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to look into the DoF’s obstructive attitude.

“It is for Parliament and the PAC to judge whether Government Departments should continue to display such a low priority to Audit Reports,” the report observes in its preface.

Explaining the sequence of events, it further adds: “While every effort is being made to ensure total transparency and a well balanced approach, we are constrained to point out that, in the course of this Audit, while the Principal Director of Audit forwarded the draft Report to the Secretary, Department of Fertilisers on December 1, 2010 seeking his comments and also seeking Exit Conference, the letter was not replied to.” “Subsequently, the Principal Director of Audit addressed the Secretary, Department of Fertilisers again on February 2, 2011, stating that the comments of the department are still awaited. He also reminded the Secretary to indicate a convenient date for the Exit Conference.

Unfortunately, even this letter went unheeded,” it added.

(The purpose of the Exit Conference is to provide an opportunity to the ministry to discuss the audit findings and to clarify any point of doubt that the ministry may raise.) The DMK’s antipathy towards the CAG is well known after its report on 2G spectrum last year sealed the fate of former Telecom Minister A Raja, a DMK leader. Even though the report does not directly indict Alagiri’s ministry, it raises suspicions about large-scale diversion of fertilisers to the non-farming sector.

It points out the complete mismatch between fertiliser requirements and domestic productions. The subsidy/ concession on imported fertilisers between 1998-99 and 2008-09 had increased from 3 per cent to 47 per cent.

@ Raji7373's comments:

Location of Edu institutes and cosmopolitan nature are no way connected really.

Selecting a school / college is a personal choice.

I shunned Pilani and selected NIT Trichy (REC then).
Indian Sun selected Pilani and shunned NIT Trichy. (Paththa Vechutten)

Cheers :cheers:

But exposure varies.

My Bros also did the same as India sun, shunned TN & Karn colleges and ended up in BITS pilani, finally MBA Finance @ NIITE in Mumbai though he got in good colleges down south. Personal choice but the choice was based on factors like exposure, city, easy accessibility to places, internship - apart from the reputation of instituion.

Increasing the number of educational institutions will not only give students a lot of choice to choose their courses and colleges, but also make reservation meaningless, former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on Saturday.

He was delivering a motivational lecture at the orientation programme for freshers of Anna University at the Madras Institute of Technology, Chromepet, his alma mater.

In an interactive session, Sushmitha, a student, asked Mr. Kalam what was the solution to problems of certain sections of youth unable to get admission on grounds of caste and community.

“Are you talking about reservation? At present, there is surplus of seats in engineering colleges, compared to the demand. If we start more engineering colleges, students will have plenty of choice to choose their courses and colleges. When there are more educational institutions, reservation will become meaningless,” Mr. Kalam said.

Replying to a question from another student Haripriya on making India corruption-free, the former President said that it was up to students and children in each and every home to free the country from corruption. If parents indulged in corruption, children should question them and prevent them from indulging in corruption again.

During his lecture, Mr. Kalam recalled his days of hard work and dedication when he studied Aeronautical Engineering at MIT in the 1950s.

“Inventions and discoveries have emanated from creative minds. When you use a cell phone, you must think of Graham Bell, but do no use cell phones in classrooms,” he was quick to add, much to the delight of the audience.

He also listed out a 10-point distinctive profile by 2020, including reducing rural and urban divide to a thin line, adequate access to energy and quality water, India emerging as the best destination for the most talented scholars, scientists and investors, the nation where governance was responsive, transparent and corruption-free among other.

LET US REMOVE QUOTA, RESERVATIONS. ETC.

RESERVATIONS SHOULD BE BASED ON ECONOMIC BACKGOUND NOT ON CASTE, CREED AND RELIGION OF A PERSON. BE IT EDUCATION OR JOB.

arul was right on exposure part. getting a bit too much.

we keep fighting for educational insstitutes. see what i posted in education topic.

கரூர் மாவட்டம், கிருஷ்ணராயபுரம் தொகுதியின் ஆளும் கட்சி எம்.எல்.ஏ-வான காமராஜ், தனது மாத சம்பளத்தை மிகவும் நல்ல செயல்களுக்குப் பயன்படுத்துகிறார்...’ என்று ஒரு செய்தி.

''தேர்தல் சமயத்தில் தொகுதியில் வாக்கு சேகரிக்கச் சென்றபோது, கை, கால், முகம் எல்லாம் தீக்காயங்கள் பட்ட இரண்டு பெண் குழந்தைகளை காமராஜ் சந்தித்தார். ஒருவருக்கு நான்கு வயது, இன்னொருவருக்கு ஏழு வயது. அவர்களின் நிலையைப் பார்த்துப் பதறியவர், 'எப்படி நடந்தது இந்தக் கோரம்?’ என்று அவர்களின் தந்தையிடம் விசாரித்தார். 'உடல்நிலை சரியில்லாத என் மனைவிக்கு சிகிச்சை செய்யப் பணம் இல்லை. இதனால், குழந்தைகளுடன் தீக்குளித்து இறக்க முடிவு செய்தார். அவர் மட்டும் இறக்க... குழந்தைகள் தீக்காயத்துடன் தப்பித்துவிட்டனர்...’ என்றவர், 'குழந்தைகளுக்கு சிகிச்சை எடுத்துக்கொள்ள பணம் இல்லை என்பதால், தீக்காயங்களுடன் நடைப் பிணமாக வாழ்கிறார்கள். இவர்களைப் பார்த்துக்​கொள்ள ஆள் வேண்டும் என்பதால், நானும் வேலைக்குச் செல்ல முடியாத நிலை. அதனால், சோத்துக்கே வழி இல்லாமல் தவிக்கிறோம்!’ என்று கதறினார். அடுத்த நாளே அவர்​கள் வீட்டுக்கு ஒரு மாதத்துக்குத் தேவை​யான அரிசி, பருப்பு என சமையல் பொ​ருட்​களும், 2,000 பணமும் கொடுத்து அனுப்பினார்'' என்கிறார்கள் தொகுதியில்.

எம்.எல்.ஏ. காம​ராஜிடமே பேசினோம், ''அவர்களது உணவுத் தேவையைப் பூர்த்தி செய்துவிட்டாலும், என் மனம் திருப்தி அடையவில்லை. தீக்காயம்பட்ட பெண்கள் பருவ வயதுக்குப் பின்னர் எப்படி சமூகத்தில் தன்னம்பிக்கையுடன் வாழ முடியும் என்று சிந்தித்தேன். என் முதல் மாத சம்பளம் 50 ஆயிரத்தை அவர்கள் வீட்டுக்கே சென்று கொடுத்தேன். அடுத்து, சென்னை ஸ்டான்லி மருத்துவமனையில் தலைமை மருத்துவ அதிகாரியிடம் அனுமதி வாங்கி, அவர்களை அங்கு அட்மிட் செய்தேன். முதற்கட்ட சிகிச்சை முடிந்தது. மேலும், நான்கு கட்ட சிகிச்சைகள் இருக்கின்றன. விரைவில் நலமாக ஊர் திரும்புவார்கள். அந்தக் குழந்தைகள் என்னை 'மாமா... மாமா...’ என அன்போடு அழைக்கும் அளவுக்குப் பாசமாகப் பழகிவிட்டார்கள். இதைவிட சந்தோஷம் வேறு என்ன வேண்டும்? இந்த அன்பு, அவர்களுக்கு செய்த உதவியின் மனநிறைவு இரண்டும்தான் இந்த மாத சம்பளத்தையும், படிக்க வசதி இல்லாத 25 குழந்தைகளுக்குக் கொடுக்கத் தூண்டுகோலாக இருந்தது!'' என்றவர்,

''இனி வரும் எனது 58 மாத சம்பளத்தையும், இதுபோல் தொகுதி மக்களுக்கே செலவிடப் போகிறேன். மக்கள் என்னை வெற்றி பெறவைத்ததால் வரும் சம்பளம் இது. அவர்கள் நலனுக்கே செலவிடுவதுதான் நியாயம். எனக்கும் என் குடுபத்துக்கும், என் தொழில் மூலம் வரும் வருமானமே போதும்...'' என்றார் முக மலர்ச்சியுடன்.

நல்ல விஷயம்!
