The document discusses the importance of public sanitation facilities in India and the government's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission). It notes that the goal of the campaign is to make India open defecation free by 2019 by constructing toilets, eliminating open defecation, and establishing monitoring and behavioral change programs. It emphasizes empowering urban local bodies with real-time monitoring of public sanitation through apps to help achieve the goals of Swachh Bharat.
The TAMU Turbomachinery Lab conducted research on wet annular seals subjected to two-phase flow. Their existing test rig assessed the dynamic force performance of these seals but had issues with shaker movement. To address this, they designed and constructed rigidly mounted shaker frames for the X and Y directions. Vibration testing found the natural frequencies of both mounts to be over 300 Hz, outside the 10-200 Hz excitation range, resolving the shaker movement issue.

The document discusses issues with higher education institutions in India. It summarizes a survey that found that 90% of management school faculties have no industrial experience, 75% of management institutions are run by politicians, and only 10% of MBA graduates meet corporate standards. Interactions with students proved most lack communication skills, personality, market knowledge, and completed copycat projects. The regulatory system has failed to maintain standards or prevent exploitation, despite entry barriers. For India to build world-class institutions, it needs critical mass of students on university campuses, autonomy for colleges, and an end to the affiliation system that hinders innovation.
Final assignment. conflicts faced by universities in pakistanAzeemAbro
The main conflicts faced by universities in Pakistan include administration-teacher conflicts, student politics, stress over employees, unfair distribution of funds and scholarships, harassment, corruption, injustice in appointments, issues between teachers and students, plagiarism, religious extremism, and lack of accommodation and transportation. Five ways to address these conflicts are: 1) ensure distribution of power and positions based on merit instead of political favors, 2) address harassment issues through strict policies and action, 3) encourage social and extracurricular activities to promote unity, 4) reform student politics to focus on service rather than disruption, and 5) properly analyze the root causes of conflicts and minimize issues by clarifying problems and resolving conflicts immediately.

The document discusses gender issues in Indian academia. It notes that while women's participation in higher education in India is high, their participation in research and high-level academic positions remains low. There is a leaking pipeline where the percentage of women drops at each higher level of education and career. Some of the factors discussed include a lack of role models, family responsibilities, and lack of family and institutional support. The document outlines various initiatives taken in India to promote gender equity, such as mentorship programs, special schemes for women scientists, and policy changes to facilitate work-life balance through measures like on-campus housing and childcare. However, it notes that more systemic and long-term efforts are needed to improve the climate
The document discusses the impact of reservation policies in India on education and society. It begins by providing background on the aims of the reservation system and how it has expanded over time. It then discusses findings from a study of 300 students and professionals, which revealed that most sections of society now want changes to reservation policies as they hinder growth, worsen caste discrimination, and decrease educational standards. The document concludes by arguing that while reservations may have helped backward castes in the past, they now need to be reformed or abolished to promote equality of opportunity based on merit rather than caste.
India need new scheme for conceptualizing education cost as responsibilityEakansh srivastava
This document discusses the need for a new scheme to conceptualize the cost of education in India as a social responsibility. It notes that ancient India once had world-class higher education institutions thousands of years ago but they declined due to colonization. It argues that it is urgent to revive India's past glory in higher education. It examines various ground realities around the costs of education in India and how they relate more to ethical values than monetary values. The document suggests that new education schemes in India could benefit from principles of empowering women, eradicating social evils, and focusing on rural areas, rather than just focusing on grades or percentages. It also discusses the need to address high educational pressures and suicides among Indian youth.
Academic Freedom and Civil liberty in EducationAnna Loquinario
This document discusses academic freedom and its controversies. It provides examples of cases where academic freedom was invoked or questioned, such as a professor in the Philippines being sued by a student for failing them multiple times, and union leaders in South Africa being fired after leading strikes. It also discusses the debate around a professor's views on racial differences being criticized. The document outlines the types of academic freedom (for faculty, institutions, students) and discusses the boundaries around academic freedom, including that curriculum and teaching standards belong to the institution, not individual faculty. It concludes that while academic freedom is important, faculty still must abide by institutional standards and that their civil liberties off campus are protected but not their academic freedom in a non-academic context

The document discusses the need for transformational change in India's higher education system to meet the demands of modernization and a knowledge-based economy. It outlines some of the key challenges facing higher education in India, including a lack of emphasis on skills and employability, poor quality at many private institutions, and the large proportion of graduates deemed unemployable. The document calls for reforms like focusing more on skills-based learning, rewarding creativity and innovation over rote memorization, attracting top scholars and professionals to teaching, investing in educational technology, redefining the purpose of education, and deregulating the industry.

1) Academics can be seen as part of civil society that can strengthen democracy through their expertise and analysis, though some may be influenced by other factors.
2) While Indonesia has strong academics and universities, challenges to academic freedom include limitations and pressure that can affect research independence. However, civil society support for academic freedom also provides opportunities.
3) Responses from academics to revisions of anti-corruption laws vary, from protests seeing it as reducing independence, to facing cyber attacks when criticizing policies online. Calling such criticism "cyber terror" depends on specific contexts and ensuring peaceful expression within laws.
The document discusses whether reservation systems in India are necessary. It argues that reservations are needed to help disadvantaged communities that have faced long histories of discrimination and lack of access to opportunities in education, jobs, and elected offices. The caste system has perpetuated inequalities over generations, and reservations aim to remedy this by giving disadvantaged groups a fair chance to compete. While reservations are not a perfect solution, alternatives like having no reservations or basing them only on economic status would likely not benefit those communities most in need. Overall, the document makes the case that as long as discrimination and disparities exist in society, some form of reservation is necessary to promote equality of opportunity.

Articel on Governance in Bureaucracy today SeptemberBahuguna Vk
The author argues that a virtuous bureaucracy is needed in India. He notes that while India's per capita income and life expectancy have increased since independence, there is now more strife and instability compared to 5-6 decades ago. One cause is the deterioration of governance and administrative powers not serving societal aspirations. The bureaucracy at independence had high moral values and character, guided by capable political leaders, unlike today where corruption and poor decisions have harmed the country. The author calls for deliberate wrong decisions by the bureaucracy to become unpardonable and for the government to launch a "Clean Administration" movement across India with a focus on moral education.
There is a need to promote research and innovation in India from the basic education level. Currently, India lags behind countries like the US, China, and Japan in terms of patent applications and having universities ranked among the top globally. Historically, India was once a leader in higher education with large renowned universities like Takshashila and Nalanda that attracted thousands of international students. The document discusses some ways to promote research and innovation through changes in the education system from school level by introducing more practical learning, project work, and exposure to research topics. It also suggests increasing funding for research and development.

Indian Education System_ Nurturing Creators or Promoting Rat Racers_.pdfssuser45cd17
The Indian education system has long been a subject of debate, with critics questioning whether it truly nurtures creativity and innovation or simply promotes a culture of competition and rote learning. The fundamental purpose of education should be to foster holistic development and empower individuals to think critically, solve problems, and contribute meaningfully to society. In this article, we delve into the Indian education system, examining its strengths, weaknesses, and the need for a more balanced approach that encourages creativity and originality.
Historical Context and Current State: To understand the present state of the Indian education system, it is essential to explore its historical roots. The system was primarily influenced by the British colonial era, with an emphasis on producing a disciplined workforce rather than nurturing individuality. While there have been significant reforms since then, challenges persist. The prevailing focus on academic grades and entrance examinations has created a highly competitive environment, leading to undue stress among students. The curriculum often prioritizes rote learning over critical thinking, limiting opportunities for creative exploration.
Rote Learning vs. Critical Thinking: One of the core criticisms leveled against the Indian education system is its overreliance on rote learning. The emphasis on memorization and regurgitation of information leaves little room for originality or independent thinking. This approach fails to cultivate problem-solving skills, innovation, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-life situations. To truly nurture creators, the system must shift its focus towards fostering critical thinking, analytical skills, and creativity.
The document discusses the history of women's status and role in Indian society. It mentions that women philosophers like Gargi and Maetri were respected in ancient Vedic times, showing that a tradition of women pursuing education and intellectual roles existed in India from early on. This tradition continued with poet-saints like the Andals, Akka Mahadevis, and Meera. The document argues this tradition helped pave the way for later influential women in Indian history and culture like Rani Jhansi, Rani Padmini, and Indira Gandhi. It notes feminist scholars are now more interested in studying this aspect of ancient Indian society which allowed more liberal roles and power for women compared to western cultures at the
WHY WE NEED TO RE-ENGINEER OUR HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS?Saurabh Chandra
1) Indian higher education has grown significantly since independence but institutions still struggle with weaknesses and failing to meet changing needs.
2) The system needs re-engineering to address major issues like inadequate research output, funding and quality compared to countries like the US and China.
3) The UK higher education system is one model that India could study and draw from given its world-class reputation, to help reform governance and management techniques in Indian institutions.
TheKnowledgeReview comes-up with a special issue on “The 25 Best Institutions for Higher Education 2017,” which lists out some of the outstanding Indian institutions on the path of radical reforms. These institutions intuitively focus on enforcing higher standards of transparency, strengthening of the vocational and doctoral education pipeline, and professionalization of the sector.
This document provides definitions and perspectives on the Indian middle class. It defines the middle class as roughly 10% of Indians, or 100 million people, who earn more than 10 times the per capita income. The document discusses the education system in India and how it caters to the middle class, focusing on professional degrees but lacking emphasis on humanities. It also examines the thoughts and views of the Indian middle class, such as their opposition to caste-based affirmative action programs.

This document discusses governance and quality assurance in higher education in Pakistan. It analyzes the roles of Boards of Governors in maintaining education quality at public versus private universities. After interviews and research, problems in higher education governance were identified. Governance is analyzed in terms of university Boards of Governors, their roles and autonomy, and management structures. The role of Pakistan's Higher Education Commission as regulator is also explored. Differences are found between more efficient private university boards and public boards that lack autonomy and face political influence. Recommendations include reforms to public board structures and increased Commission oversight to promote governance and quality assurance.

____________________________________________________________________________________
Introduction: The relationship between government and academic institutions has been debased for a
long time. While there can be debates about whether political parties have too much say on campuses, if a
university cannot be the crucible of free speech and its dean does not see itself as the guardian of that very
basic right, then why blame ministers who want to curb it in all kinds of other forums.
The IIT-Madras banned a Dalit students association following an anonymous complaint that it had
criticized the Central government’s policies and spread “hatred” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi
and Hindus.
HRD ministry seems to have interfered in the functioning of an academic institution, forwarding
an anonymous complaint, ostensibly ideologically motivated. The forwarding of anonymous
complaints, sometimes even to the CBI, so that the ministry acquired control over vice
chancellors, was an art perfected by many a previous minister.
If higher education is to be rescued, it will need interlocutors with greater credibility. The sector
will have to move beyond charges of hypocrisy. But for that it will have to find interlocutors less
hypocritical.
The real ire should be directed at the academic establishment itself. Even if the ministry forwards
a letter, there is no reason that the university leadership has to act on it. At least, it need not act on
it without giving the students a fair hearing. The IIT’s claim that the Ambedkar-Periyar group

Another issue is the place of caste in higher education. Caste, as India’s original sin, still casts a

castes are, with justification, an object of suspicion. Their credibility on creating an inclusive
education system is roughly zero.
But post OBC reservations, dalits have an overwhelming claim to reservations. Reservation could
no longer be articulated as an ethical requirement; rather, it was seen as a manifestation of
organized power. And as the nature of that electoral and organized power shifts, different groups

Introduction: The relationship between government and academic institutions has been debased for a
long time. While there can be debates about whether political parties have too much say on campuses, if a
university cannot be the crucible of free speech and its dean does not see itself as the guardian of that very
basic right, then why blame ministers who want to curb it in all kinds of other forums.
The IIT-Madras banned a Dalit students association following an anonymous complaint that it had
criticized the Central government’s policies and spread “hatred” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi
and Hindus.
HRD ministry seems to have interfered in the functioning of an academic institution, forwarding
an anonymous complaint, ostensibly ideologically motivated. The forwarding of anonymous
complaints, sometimes even to the CBI, so that the ministry acquired control over vice
chancellors, was an art perfected by many a previous minister.
If higher education is to be rescued, it will need interlocutors with greater credibility. The sector
will have to move beyond charges of hypocrisy. But for that it will have to find interlocutors less
hypocritical.
The real ire should be directed at the academic establishment itself. Even if the ministry forwards
a letter, there is no reason that the university leadership has to act on it. At least, it need not act on
it without giving the students a fair hearing. The IIT’s claim that the Ambedkar-Periyar group
violated rules seems contrived since it comes after the fact. The leadership crisis in higher

3. 3
seemingly easy to discuss anything, partly because there are no political stakes. In India, we have
the opposite challenge: almost everything, any figure, any icon, is politically charged, with
immediate material consequences for society. No social science or humanities discussion here is
merely academic. So people find it harder to draw the line between protest and dissent, argument
and threat, dialogue and disorder, critique and hatred.
Ironically, of all the IITs, IIT Madras had taken impressive strides in fostering the social sciences.
But the way it has handled this controversy does not bring it credit. It has done a deep injustice to
its students, particularly those in the Ambedkar-Periyar Study Circle. It has sent out a grim
reminder that the academic establishment is unlikely to stand up for liberal values, administrative
independence and plain common sense.
Question- There must be some concrete line in terms of subject division and power sharing
between Government and Higher educational institutions in order to maintain the required
level of autonomy of higher education. Comment.
Suggested pints-
1. Universities are supposed to be protected spaces that preserve the possibility of dissent.
They should be such spaces, where every thought can be debate.
2. Off course the boundary with respect to interference from government is much needed
but the problem is who draws this boundary?
3. The second issue is a paradox. Oddly enough, there is often more freedom to debate
when the consequences of the debate are relatively trivial.

Introduction- Honorable PM’s Independence Day address had placed the spotlight on the public toilet
system in the country, creating a keen interest among the civil society, corporate social responsibility
missions and the media. Government has also indicated a time-bound approach with clear target. In this
article the author elaborate the importance of Public sanitation facilities. While discussing the issue,
author emphasizes on empowering urban local bodies with real-time monitoring of public
sanitation through apps to help realize the goals of Swachh Bharat.
Swachh Bharat
Abhiyan
‘Sanitation is more important than independence’, Mahatma Gandhi
famously pronounced. India’s battle with total sanitation is an ongoing
saga.
Following the Gandhian ideal of ‘sanitation for all’, in its biggest and most
recent cleanliness drive, the Government of India launched the ‘Clean India
Campaign’, popularly known as the ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ to make India
open defecation filth free by 2019.
The Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) is the successor of the erstwhile
Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA). The aim of the NBA, earlier known as the
Total Sanitation Campaign, was to make India open defecation free by
2017.
Objectives of Swachh
Bharat Abhiyan
Construction of individual, cluster and community toilets.
To eliminate open defecation.
To establish an accountable mechanism of monitoring latrine use.
Proper, dedicated ground staff will be recruited to bring about behavioral
change and promotion of latrine use.
Villages to be kept clean with solid and liquid waste management through
Gram panchayat.
To lay water pipelines in all villages, ensuring water supply to all
households by 2019.
To provide toilets, separately for boys and girls in all schools.
To provide toilets to all Anganwadis.

Importance of proper sanitation and cleanliness-
Issues/challenges
Lack of demand driven system- One of the key issues in managing Public
sanitation facilities is the lack of demand driven system for developing and
managing public toilet facilities.
Setting of difficult goal- In terms of sheer numbers, the task of achieving
“open-defecation free” India is staggering.
Lack of adequate facilities- Public toilets lack adequate maintenance. At
many locations, existing sanitation facilities are unused and either defunct or
used for other purposes such as godowns.
For women- There are no adequate facilities of separate toilets for women.
Provide access- The main challenge is to provide accesses to safe and
acceptable sanitation in urban areas with a dense and generally poor
population are lack of availability of space.
Government already indicated a time-bound approach with clear targets. These developments suggest that
considerable public and private investments in monetary terms along with the time and energy of a varied
set of stakeholders are to be spent in this effort across the nation over the next few years. The author
indicates some suggestions -

6. 6
Suggestions
Systems-based approach- given the imperative of public toilets, an
important aspect that needs focus is a systems-based approach that can
enable the entire process of sanitation management.
Areas to focus- Government needs to pay attention on some areas to achieve
goals of Swachh Bharat, starting from locations where demand is felt,
preparation of existing toilet facilities, extent of reach of water, sewerage and
the associated networks, inventory of facilities in each public toilet,
availability of male and female caretakers, contractual obligation of the
caretakers and special needs of women.
Proper administration- In fact, more importantly, the system has to be built
with facilities for citizens to interact with the administration either as
complaints or suggestions.
The system should be able to empower the administration at different levels
of governance, including the mayor, municipal commissioner as well as the
safai karmachari, to take informed decisions.
Technology-It should support real-time monitoring and evaluation of both
the individual toilets as well as the overall public toilet system in the urban
local body. The system, apart from helping the safai karmachari to report
data on a real time through an Android App, should empower authorities to
act immediately on issues raised by the safai karmachari.
The system has to be built to enable the administration to improve the
geographical knowledge in a real-time digital platform for both decision-
making as well as monitoring.
Question- Government of India tries to eliminate poverty. In this process cleanliness is essential as
well. Explain in brief, the importance of public sanitation system and challenges to implement the
program of “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan”. (250 words)
Suggested points-
1. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and its significance.
2. Objectives of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
3. Current scenario of public sanitation system in India.
