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

Save early to earn more

Save early to earn more Prabhakar Sinha | TNN Time is money, goes the saying, which holds true in almost all aspects of life. But, it is more so in case of savings. If you start saving early, by the time you retire, you will have enough money to lead a prosperous retired life. When you start saving early, your saved amount gets a longer time to earn returns. Take for example, if you start saving at the age of 25, or just at the time when you get your first salary, your savings of Rs 5,000 per month, at a conservative return of 10% per annum, will swell to Rs 1.91 crore in 35 years or by the time you retire at the age of 60. But, if you start saving late, say, at the age of 30, your saving of Rs 5,000 per month will become Rs 1.14 crore. If you start at 35, the amount will become only Rs 67 lakh. And, at the age of 35, even if you start saving double the amount i.e. Rs 10,000 per month, by the time of retirement, that will become only Rs 1.34 crore. This is called power...

Austerity Debate

The Austerity Debate had fatal blow on two of the Ministers of the UPA ver2.0. Shri S M Krishna and Shri Sashi Tharoor. The later bore the brunt of the joke on Cattle Class that was for me a prompt, answer to a prompt question on "Twitter". The Indian Sub Continent has been a different society and here the show of wealth is only permitted in marriages. People by culture are expected to practice Austerity... the debate is in fact between consumerism and Austerity. between saving and spending. It should not be made limited to the Public Money and Self Money. The balance of consumerism and saving in India protected us from being the victim of the great Economic Debacle. When we expect the exercising of Austerity we Expect Savings on unnecessary expences. When we expect exercising of the Austerity we Expect a reasonable Lifestyle and not the Cattle Class for the Ministers. The ministers avoiding the private Jets and even travelling long distance in Business Class is welco...
