You may even call me in case you wish to at 99808045363 * ** * In case anyone of you know anyone from that area then also contact me.* * ** ------Thanks....Rishi* MESAGE - 2: * TWO IMPORTANT POINTS* I would like to bring to the kind notice of everyone two important points. *POINT ONE-* I had asked for the excel files of all nodal chapters but I did not receive a single file. We plan to do better database management of the members in future and for that we need to have the list of the existing members first of all. Once that is settled we will try out some PHP-MySQL based database management. *Please co-operate. It will hardly take 1 hour for you to take care of it. Send me the excel files by the end of this month.* ** I will reproduce the earlier mail here. Please go through it again. *Those members who are part of the main group but if their home town belongs to a node which doesn't yet have a chapter, then directly send your details to me with the subject "Master Database". * Please take extreme care in this regard, think of me first before sending details, because it will be hopelessly difficult for me. The mail: *Namaskar all,* After getting green signal from the Propagation Team members I am starting the work on the Master Database. I mainly intend to have a well-organised, hierarchial ordering of members which can be efficiently searched for any information. The hierarchy should be: Abroad --------> Continent --> Country --> City / Members \ National -------> Regional Nodes --> District --> Town --> Address The regional 'nodes' are : 1. Jammu 2. Kolkata 3. Chandigarh 4. Delhi 5. Dehradun 6. Kanpur 7. Varanasi 8. Patna 9. Ranchi 10. Guwahati 11. Imphal 12. Bhubaneshwar 13. Raipur 14. Jabalpur 15. Bhopal 16. Indore 17. Jaipur 18. Jodhpur 19. Udaipur 20. Ahmedabad 21. Vishakhapatnam 22. Hyderabad 23. Nagpur 24. Mumbai 25. Panaji 26. Bengalooru 27. Chennai 28. Coimbatore 29. Thiruvananthapuram I once again remind the members that this idea of nodes is to ensure that the regional headquarters or centres(we might have them in future) are uniformly located region-wise and not state-wise since states are just lines on the map and nothing more. *The various chapters of BM are :* BM_ahmedabad BM_allahabad BM_aurangabad BM_bangalore BM_bhopal BM_chandigarh BM_chennai BM_chhatishgarh BM_coimbatore BM_delhi BM_gurgaon BM_guwahati BM_gwalior BM_hyderabad BM_indore BM_jabalpur BM_jaipur BM_kanpur BM_kharagpur BM_kolkata BM_lucknow BM_meerut BM_mumbai BM_panvel BM_patna BM_pilani BM_pune BM_roorkee BM_utkal BM_varanasi BM_vellore BM_vidisha BM_Visakhapatnam <BM_usa> <BM_USA_chicago> <BM_germany> <BM_southkorea> *Now what you people have to do(Co-ordinators):* 1. I see the chapters that coincide with the nodes are- Ahmedabad, Bengalooru/Bangalore, Bhopal, Chandigarh , Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Jabalpur, Jaipur, Kanpur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Patna, Varanasi, Vishakhapatnam. The co-ordinators of these chapters have to get the database from the different districts affiliated to it(and so on- recursively) based on closest node to the concerned city/district which are: Allahabad --> Varanasi Aurangabad,Panvel (--> Raigarh) --> Mumbai Chhattisgarh --> Raipur Gurgaon,Meerut --> Delhi Gwalior, Lucknow --> Kanpur Kharagpur --> West Medinipur -->Kolkata Pilani --> Jhunjhunu --> Jaipur Roorkee --> Haridwar --> Dehra Dun Utkal --> Bhubaneshwar Vellore --> Chennai Vidisha --> Bhopal I know the ordering might be too fine and complicated for now but we have to consider the case in future where it would be very difficult to track members. *A person is considered to be a member of BM if (s)he is in the master database irrespective or whether (s)he is in yahoo group or not.* This definition is appropriate because soon we will have members who might not be available online. 2. The format of the excel file should be: Sl. No. | City | District | Nearest Node | Full Name | Current Adress | Education | Contact No.(if any) | Mail id (if any) 3. Please note that we are avoiding two addresses for simplicity. My home address may be abc but am working/studying at xyz so there will be two addresses. On same lines we can say that we are part of two chapters. *But please give relate yourself to only one chapter where you currently are. *Your hometown chapter will be taken as informal activity if you take part in it. You may change your address in future but give only one address and affiliation to only one chapter "formally". 4. As an example, *the Allahabad chapter will not submit the excel file directly to me since Allahabad is not a node. * He will submit it to Varanasi chapter who will compile all districts linked to Varanasi in one file and then Varanasi fellow will submit it to me. 5. Similarly for abroad chapters: please submit the excel file in the following format Sl. No. | District/City | Country | Continent | Full Name | Current Address | Education | Contact No.(if any) | Email(if any) 6. Please mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or see the relevant thread on the forums in case of any queries. 7. I can expect the excel files *only from the nodal chapter co-ordinators*(point clarified as above) *within 1 month. *I guess one month is sufficient time. Of course there must be many members who are not members of the chapter groups, but I cannot ensure in any way that they submit their details. *In case they see this mail and want to submit their details, please submit it to the closest node co-ordinator.* ** *vande mataram,* * **----Rishi* *POINT TWO-* ** *All people working on translation should keep in touch with me, it would help them.* Also, this is an open call to everyone who is well above average in any Indian language to volunteer for the translation work. This is the least, substantial work, you can do sitting at home, for BM. *Also please note that to take care of the translation of the chapters' pages is the duty of the chapter co-ordinator. *I mean, for example Hyderabad chapter has to take care to either translate the chapter page themselves into Telugu or to see somebody else does it. The chapter pages will exist only in two languages, English and the local. The priority order of 'translation need' is : 1. Hindi(going on, not needed) 2. Bengali 3. Telugu(going on, I guess, the person concerned, please contact me) 4. Tamil 5. Marathi(Is it going on?) 6. Kannada Gujarati, Oriya, Assamese, Malayalam, Punjabi, Urdu after these 6. -------------------------------------Thanks, Vande Mataram -- "We have only one Passion The Rise of a Great Nation." www.bharatudaymission.org ============================================================================== TOPIC: Scientists reiterate MMR vaccine link to autism. http://groups.google.com/group/BM_discussion/browse_thread/thread/40e960c6e397536c ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Sun, May 28 2006 7:07 am From: Jagannath Chatterjee US scientists back autism link to MMR By Beezy Marsh and Sally Beck [article in Telegraph, UK] (Filed: 28/05/2006) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/05/28/wmmr28.xml&sSheet=/news/2006/05/28/ixnews.html The measles virus has been found in the guts of children with a form of autism, renewing fears over the safety of the MMR jab. American researchers have revealed that 85 per cent of samples taken from autistic children with bowel disorders contain the virus. The strain is the same as the one used in the measles, mumps and rubella triple vaccine. The findings will spark fresh concern about MMR, because they back theories of a causal link between the jab, autism and painful gut disorders suffered by a number of autistic children. The study replicates findings made by the gastroenterologist Dr Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and Prof John O'Leary, a pathologist, in 2002. Parents say their children were developing normally until they had the MMR jab, given when a child is between 12- and 18-months-old. The children now suffer from regressive autism. One theory is that the virus passes through the gut, causing damage, and into the bloodstream, from where it is able to attack the brain. More than 2,000 families claim that their children have suffered damage but the Department of Health reiterated last night that MMR is safe, a stance supported by the British Medical Association and all the Royal Colleges. Last year Government scientists failed to reproduce research results by Dr Wakefield. Research to be presented this week in Montreal, Canada, provides fresh evidence that the measles virus is present in the guts of autistic children. Dr Stephen Walker, of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, North Carolina, studied children with regressive autism and bowel disease. "Of the handful of results we have in so far, all are vaccine strain," he said.

Even after 59 years of Independence, the following situation remains as far as the Human Capital Development of our country is concerned:- Drop-out rate in schools from KG to 10+2 is (including those who never attended school) 90% to 94%. China has about 1.80 million schools, while we have in India about 0.95million schools! The "Governance" in Government run schools is very low. In many cases teachers are absent (15% to 40% absenteeism) from schools in rural and urban schools of India and are paid full wages and perks in spite of this! Studies have shown that even the poorest of the poor rather send their children to un-aided schools where fees have to be paid and not to government run free schools. The quality of schooling of such unaided schools is higher than Government schools although the salary of Government teachers is two to three times higher than the teachers of the un-aided schools. The existing Indian definition of Literacy (if you can write your name you are literate) needs to be amended to International Standards. As per the Ministry of HRD the present illiteracy is ONLY 37% or 430 million people, while as per UNICEF and UNDP it is nearly 60% or 650 million people. China has a Literacy rate of about 93% literacy. The first step of making India a knowledge economy is literacy and needs to be given A1 priority. The total amount spent on education is about Rs. 81,000 crores per year. 10% by the Central Govt. and 90% by the State Governments The Education Cess will collect another Rs. 7000 crores per year. This is about 3.3% of GDP. The MHRD has calculated that another Rs. 40,000 crores per year would be required only for additional requirements for Primary Education! We estimate that another Rs. 100,000 crores are required per year just to have reasonable quality of Primary and Secondary education, up to Class 10th., which is where the Central and State Governments should concentrate for the next 10 to 20 years, or till we have at least 95% Literacy and at least 80% of the population who are completing the High School stage or Class 10th. As per our estimates the total expenditure for education is nearly 8% of GDP, about 3.3% from Government and about 4.7% from private participation. This includes funding of unaided schools and colleges+ bribes and capitation fees + payment for students studying abroad + tuition classes +coaching classes +private I.T. & Software training institutes. Most of this private funding is confined to urban areas where only 30% stay. About 7% to 8% of the youth who finish the 10+2 stage (pre-university) enter the17, 600 colleges of India. 70% of all graduates are B.A. or Arts graduates. Is this relevant today? Most of these so called graduates are not-employable. Of all new employment taking place nearly 60% are self employed. About New Employment - 1% is with government, 2% with the private 'organized sector' and 97% with the 'unorganized sector'. Presently there is little connect between education and employment generation & quality of Life The employers associations, chambers of commerce and other business organizations are fragmented. There is no "National Common Minimum Program" for "education and training of manpower" in India. In most developed and developing countries the Chambers of Commerce (who represent the employers and business) Lead from the front. About 29 million people are added every year to the existing education system, which is like adding another Australia + Hong Kong + Singapore & UAE per year! Presently both the Central Government as well as the State Governments are running in Financial Deficits, of about 9% to 11% of GDP, so the question of additional financing for education will strain not only the existing budgets but also put pressure on other sectors, where funds are being presently allocated. "Licence Raj" runs all Higher & Technical Education in India. Let us Bench-Mark with USA, Germany and Japan, the three largest economies of the World account for nearly 50% of the world's GDP. Do their governments exert similar controls as we have in India? Can we learn from them? There is fierce competition between the institutions in these countries for excellence! China has about 900 Universities, while we in India have 372 Universities. Japan has 4000! In India, the fees of the courses, pay-scales to the teachers, appointment of the head of the Institution and the syllabus, are decided by the 58 or more Central and State-Government Boards of Education. Will this create innovation, excellence and world class students? The Coaching Business is getting bigger than the Education Business, entrance examinations for the IIT's, IIM's and a few prestigious management schools attract about 600,000 applications (who spend nearly Rs.2.00 lac each for pre-coaching, amounting to Rs.12,000 crores per year, for 6000 seats. These institutions spend hardly Rs.800 to Rs.1,100 crores per year, as their teaching budgets! While 75% to 85% the youth of the developed and developing world learn a skill or competence or trade between the ages of 14 to 35, by Vocational Education & training, in India it is hardly covers 3% to 5% of the population! India has about 5000 ITI's (Ministry of Labour) and about 7000 Vocational schools (Ministry of HRD), while China has about 500,000 senior secondary vocational schools! India has 300 million able bodied between the ages of 18 to 50, but they have no skill sets and therefore not employable! Employers in India are facing a huge shortage of skilled manpower. Wages and salaries in India, of skilled manpower are going up too fast. India will not be able to take advantage of the demographic profile of its population, if the youth do not receive relevant and quality Education & Training. We have not seen any co-ordination between the Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of HRD as far as VET planning on a National level, is concerned We in India have NOT still appreciated the fact that, world wide, Education is 5 times or 500% bigger than I.T. or software! India can become an Educational Hub for the world and earn US$ 100 billion per year, after 10 to 20 years! We need to start now, but remove "Licence Raj" first, as was done for business in 1991! India has 7,700 foreign students while Australia has 513,000 foreign students! Because of the "Licence Raj" in Higher and Technical Education, it is estimated that nearly 70,000 to 90,000 students leave India every year for studying abroad. At any given time these 320,000 students cost the country a foreign exchange out flow of nearly US$9 billion per year or nearly Rs. 40,000 crores per year, enough to build 40 IIM's or 20 IIT's per year. The present problem of reservation will not solve the needs and aspirations of the youth. India needs a larger number of educational Institutions, seats and higher quality in the area of Higher & Technical education. Rationing, quotas and reservation can never address the actual situation. The Central and State governments are strapped for funds even for Primary and Secondary education. The solution lies in complete decontrol of all forms of Higher & Technical education; the same way as business was delicensed in1991! If INDIA has to become a Knowledge Economy we need to do the following: Aim for 95% to 100% Literacy in the next 10 years Decontrol and involve the management of all primary schools to the local bodies such as Panchayats, Village Groups, Municipalities and local Citizen Groups. Allow the community to manage. Consider the use and issue of "Education Coupons" for school children, so that they can choose the schools of their choice and funding from the government, which would have been dispersed for the funding of Government run schools in rural and urban India, should be paid out. See www.ccsindia.org Scrap "Licence Raj" in Higher & Technical Education, after and including class 11th, to allow innovation, creativity and excellence in Education. See www.epsfi.org Ensure that 80% to 90% of the population in the age group of 14 years to 50 years goes in for some sort of relevant Vocational Education & Training. See www.wakeupcall.org Allow starting of Enterprise Skills Education, ESD, from Class 5th to the 12th. This will teach the youth about how the real world works. Only 100 hours per year required. Nearly 60% of the workforce in India is self-employed. Start Prevocational classes from Class 8th. Have Vocational Counsellors in all Higher Seconadary Schools. Upgrade all Higher Seconadry Schools for Vocational Education & Training. Have a dynamic interaction between all stake holders, Academia-Industry-Business-R&D-Chambers of Commerce-Student bodies-Parents organizations-Civil society and NGO's. Chambers of Commerce, who represents the employers and business, must lead from the front. Allow private finance and participation in all sectors of education, till we reach the goals as mentioned under item 8 in section one above. Allow tax breaks and incentives for private and NRI funding, for the next 20 years or till we achieve bench marks as mentioned under item 8 in section one above. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited, Published and Printed for i Watch by Krishan Khanna.
