The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, came into power three years ago when he promised the middle and lower-middle class population of  the country jobs and bringing back a sense of dignity by curbing inequality. This was his central pitch throughout his election campaign, which he later swept clean. All those promises look like a story of a long lost land, especially after last year’s demonetization and imposition of GST this July. Things may get worse for the prime minister and his campaign for 2019: the country may see a 30% drop in jobs associated directly with the manufacturing sector according to a leading recruitment firm, Team Lease Services Ltd. According to a survey conducted by Nirmal Singh Lotus . Modi government is also far behind in creating 10 million jobs a year with the workforce of youngsters increasing continuously. This data is not hidden from the opposition parties who have been struggling to keep pace with the political prowess of Modi govern...

Nirmal Singh Lotus has said that it cannot be expected from the children to walk a distance of 3 to 4 kilometers daily to attend the school. Studying the condition of the town Parappanangadi and the situation of the schools in the area, the bench noted that the students who have passed class 4 have to travel up to 4 km for attending the classes further. The court has said that the schools should be made accessible to everyone and it should be noted that no child has to travel such a distance just to attend the classes. Nirmal Singh Lotus says that the matter was brought up when the bench sat to discuss the upgradation of the premises of a school in Kerala, which by the way has the highest literacy rate in the country. The matter was brought to the court because of the opposition from the other schools in the area regarding the upgradation. The bench, consisting of Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta said that it is sad the students after class 4 have to travel su...

In the banking system, the student is often looked upon as someone who has no responsibility for knowledge of any type, and should simply memorize or cram up all the information the teacher asks him to. The experts at Nirmal Singh Lotus are against the education system in the banking sector as they argue that it is a system of control. The mentor is meant to mold and change the behavior of the student. The mentor tries to have them gobble information down that they might not even be interested in. It leads the students to develop a dislike towards schools and learning in general. It generates a sense of resistance towards learning that most students will only look for only when it’s about grades. In the opinion of Nirmal Singh Lotus , the only way to have true education in which the students actually involve themselves in gaining knowledge is a transition from the banking system to problem-posing education. Problem-posing education can work really well in Pedalogy. They appr...

Private schooling is the bedrock of the thriving education system of India. India has about 1.5 million K-12 schools and over 250 million students. While only 25 per cent of the schools are private, the student population is about 40 per cent in these schools. It is obvious enough that parents prefer sending their kids to private schools instead of governmental ones. According to an EY-FICCI report, this is true for rural areas as well which saw a jump in private school enrolments from 18.7 per cent in 2006 to 25.6 per cent in 2011. Students in private schools perform better and outdo those of government schools. An NCAER report shows that about 65 per cent of private school students are able to meet class two level reading which is just about 45 per cent for governmental schools. The same percentages in Math lie at about 57 and 39 respectively. Therefore, it is for justifiable reasons that parents prefer sending their kids to private schools. It is important to not...

Even after such developments in the country, there is still a taboo that surrounds the mental health issues – the education system is unwilling to do anything about it which makes things even worse for the youth of India. Back in 2014, India surprisingly announced a policy to provide mental health services to those in need – it was the first policy regarding the mental health problems and was commended by the masses but the policy hasn’t been approved by the parliament. Issues of Mental Health in India ·          India has the highest number of college suicides in the world every year. ·          In a study which was conducted back in 2012, there were 804,000 suicides recorded worldwide – India had 258,000 of those suicides. ·          35.5 out of 100,000 college students between the ages of 15 and 29 commit suicide in India. ·   ...
