Right to Education in India

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 02:27 AM PST

The wisest comment on Indian governance that I have heard in a very, very long time came from a member of the faculty of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Speaking about our useless Right to Education law, this is what Lant Pritchett told this newspaper. “The RTE is one of the most massively ill-conceived things that happened. At a time when India should have been thinking about the evidence on the table of learning problems, you have just enshrined an additional legislation, an input-led approach and focus to schooling that we know will fail.”

In simple words, what this means is that children who go to the average government school usually end up finishing school without being able to calculate a simple sum or read a children’s storybook. This is our real problem. What we need is not a ‘right’ to this kind of lousy education but a serious effort to improve our government schools. They are so bad that the poorest Indians try to send their children to private schools that now exist even in remote villages.

It is not just in education that we think legislation is a panacea. Our political leaders appear to believe that a new law is some kind of magic wand in every area of governance. The Sonia-Manmohan government has shown a special weakness for new laws. So they made a law guaranteeing employment and spent more than Rs 40,000 crore on it at the outset. Without noticing that it mostly ended up misspent, they expanded the programme. Then, there was that law giving Adivasi communities the right to cultivating forest land. I was in a Gujarati forest at the time and saw local officials go mad trying to prevent combine harvesters from mowing down trees.

Zee Dish TV: Frequent pixellation on many channels

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 02:14 AM PST

I have my own problem with my dish tv service. I have samsung full hd 37 inch tv and also dishtv(not hd) bought about two and half years ago. Until recently i was using my local cable tv service as it was cheaper and he was providing almost 200 channels for just 170 rs at excellent picture quality. But since recently a technical issue cropped up where by the tv started receiving intermittent white snow like horizontal waves resulting in my hathway stb burnout(hathway stb was connected to my local cable tv service). Since cable guy was not attending to this problem, I had connected to my dish tv to my tv. ButI am not at all satisfied with the picture quality. THE PROBLEM IS MOST OF THE CHANNELS PIXEL FORMATION IS THERE WHENEVER THERE IS FASTER MOVEMENT SCENE IN THE PICTURE OR BRIGHT LIGHT COMES IN THE PICTURE. IS THERE ANY WAY TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME. IT IS QUITE ANNOYING TO SEE THAT KIND OF PICTURE BY SPENDING LOT OF MONEY. OR DO I NEED TO GO FOR HD SERVICE WITH MY DISH TV? I WILL BE HAPPY IF THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED WITH MY EXISTING STB. MY SIGNAL STRENGTH IS AROUND 90 AND QUALITY IS AROUND 85 TO 89.

----------

correction:
signal strength is around 76 and quality 85 to 89
