Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Washing away school absences
Clad in their orange shirts and brown jumpers, Maybelle and Comfort are two bright-eyed young girls who have been given a chance
at better health, better education, and increased lifetime earnings.
Thanks to the USAID Ghana WASH project, Assin Kumasi Kindergarten, Primary, and Junior High School in the rural community of
Beposo, Ghana got access to improved sanitation for the first time
in the form of a four-seater institutional latrine. This new facility has
made going to school a safer, more comfortable experience, especially for junior high school girls like Maybelle and Comfort.
Despite educating more than 400 students, the school only had
one latrine that had two seats. Maybelle said that she and her
friends were forced to resort to open defecation in the nearby bush,
sometimes taking as long as ten minutes to find a private place to
go. “We would have to search to find a place to go [in the bush],”
she said. “If you want to use the toilet, there were kinder arten
g
and primary [students] there and it was so full you didn’t have any
privacy.”
When the young girls started menstruating, the school’s lack of
sanitation and privacy began to threaten their education. In Ghana
and much of the developing world, it is common for pubescent
girls to stop attending school when they lack proper sanitation and
privacy during their periods. So the USAID Ghana WASH Project
Students read the educational comic book "Who Will Go For the Ball?" which was
developed through WASH education and storywriting workshops held at the school.

“out of

-- Ms. Gloria Duha, a teacher,
School Health Education Program
club leader, Assin Kumasi Schools
constructed a new institutional latrine that provided the proper sanitation and privacy to enable all students to thrive.
The new institutional latrine is divided into two sides by a cement wall
and includes a changing room. The existing latrine is now for the kindergarten and primary school students.
Now, Maybelle and Comfort say they do not have to worry about
missing class time to take care of their needs. “We have more privacy now,” Comfort said. She said nearly everyone uses the latrine now
because there are enough stalls. And the benefits spread across the
entire community by reducing the risk of diseases that result from open
defecation.
The school has become the center of efforts to build demand for sanitation and hygiene throughout the com unity. “In [students’] homes,
m
out of 10 households, just one may have a household latrine,” said
Ms. Gloria Duha, a teacher and the School Health Education Program
(SHEP) club leader. Ms. Duha teaches her students how to keep their
hands, bodies, and surroundings clean to protect their health. Most of
these students are learnng about sanitation and hygiene for the first
i
time. By observing the students that she works with – almost half of
whom are girls – Ms. Duha sees the teachings having a ripple effect:
As she passes these lessons onto her students, the students in turn
educate and influence their classmates at school and families at home.
Ms. Duha and her students further build demand for sanitation and
hygiene in the community by developing and performing educational
dramas about hygiene issues at the school’s regular Parent Teacher
Association meetngs. Their first drama focused on the importance of
i
washing your hands with soap at critical times, including after using the
toilet and before cooking and eating. The students applied the lessons
they learned in the SHEP club and made them relevant to community
members through the shows – reaching adults in a new way.
“With our school-based initiatives, it is remarkable how young leaders step to the forefront and take an active role in the health clubs,”
said Sean Cantella, Chief of Party of the USAID Ghana WASH Project.
“When you see them in action, it reconfirms that we’re making a difference in these kids’ lives.”
