Government Schools as Backbone of Education System and its role in reduction of crime and improvement in Human Development Index.

Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal Government in Delhi and Bhagwant Maan Government in Punjab have always promised and focused on improving Government School's machinery. Do you know why is it important? 

Whereas in BJP-ruled states constant efforts are made to close down the government schools and a strong push for private sector schools is going on. this has led to the closure of many government schools in name of merging. The government schools in States like Gujarat do not even have sufficient teachers. Over 1200 schools in Gujarat Run on one teacher. So the question arises - Why the Government schools needed? and What is the effect of closing down and deterioration of government Schools?

Government schools are the backbone of education systems in many countries around the world, including many states within the United States. They provide access to quality education to millions of children who come from low-income families and cannot afford to attend private schools. However, the government school machinery is under constant threat due to budget cuts, mismanagement, and political interference.

The effects of closing down or deteriorating the government school machinery can be devastating for the development of a state. Here are some of the effects:

  1. Increase in Illiteracy Rate

The closure or deterioration of government schools can result in a rise in the illiteracy rate, which can have a long-term impact on the state's development. Without access to quality education, children from low-income families will not be able to acquire the skills they need to succeed in life. This can result in a generation of adults who lack the skills and knowledge needed to contribute to the state's economy.

  1. Reduction in Skilled Workforce

The closure or deterioration of government schools can also lead to a reduction in the skilled workforce, which can negatively impact the state's economic development. Without access to quality education, children from low-income families will not be able to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to compete in the job market. This can result in a shortage of skilled workers, which can discourage businesses from investing in the state.

  1. Increase in Crime Rate

The closure or deterioration of government schools can also lead to an increase in the crime rate. Children who are denied access to quality education are more likely to drop out of school and engage in criminal activities. This can result in a generation of adults who lack the skills and knowledge needed to contribute to society and instead engage in criminal activities.

  1. Reduction in Human Development Index

The closure or deterioration of government schools can also lead to a reduction in the Human Development Index (HDI) of the state. The HDI is a measure of the development of a country or state, which takes into account the education, health, and income of its citizens. Without access to quality education, the education component of the HDI will be negatively impacted, which can result in a lower HDI.

In conclusion, the closure or deterioration of government schools can have a devastating effect on the development of a state. It can lead to an increase in the illiteracy rate, a reduction in the skilled workforce, an increase in the crime rate, and a reduction in the Human Development Index. It is essential for policymakers to prioritize the education sector and invest in the government school machinery to ensure that every child has access to quality education

The Dogs Life - Aftermath of the Mumbai Attack

We all were disturbed by the pictures running for over 60 Hours on the news Channel. The news was the Attack on the Financial Capital of India. The number of Terrorist said to be between 1-12 as per the government statement. The number of People Dead 195 approx in which 22 Foreigners died and around 325 people injured. But most important aspect is i felt that we all Stupid Common Men of India are living DOGS LIFE. Know why? ... It is because the 16 Soilders who died protecting us are given title of the 'Shaheed' which they deserve. The fidayeens who came here to attack Mumbai would be called Shaheed by Jehadis - (i dont feel that they are shaheed) but since terrorism is an undeclared war .. some respect for the opponents too. But what about the STUPID COMMON MAN who died in this encounter.. they are not Shaheeds -- neither they will be remembered for giving up their lives. they will be forgotten by the passage of time and then one more such incident will happen and the list wil...

Serial Blasts took place in Ahmedabad and these 17 Blasts in all killed more than 45 people and left hundreds lamenting with injury and loss of their loved ones. But the spirit of Ahmedabad ensured that we are not terrorised with these attempts and we are not letting the TERROR HIT AHMEDABAD. terrorist may hit any place but if people are not terrorised their purpose is not solved. Every thing was back on track today and every person was in routine. those who have lost their loved ones will take some time.

India a Dictatorial Democracy?

I was going through an article on Democracy and its functioning, and there i found a claim that - "India is largest Democracy" of world in terms of the Population. I thought of comparing the same with USA which is oldest Democracy of the World. Many people are surprised that how Democracy can function in India in wake of the poverty, illiteracy, Caste, region and religious Divide... so is this democracy functioning "RAM BHAROSE"? Then i thought that is this democracy really democratic? or it is just that the tiger is running in the veil of a cow? I tried to study it from the angle of the kind of political parties and found that the Killer of Democracy in India Lies there. The system or the constitutions of the Political parties have the key dictator in them. The Constitution of India becomes helpless against the Party constitutions in indian Democracy. In the USA there are 2 political parties and thus the people with political aspirations have to choose the...
