स्कूलों की हालत हुई बद्दतर, प्रसाशन बेहोश

school imageउधम सिंह नगर के ग्राम शहदौरा के सरकारी स्कूल की दयनीय स्थिति,  स्कूल क़े मैदान में भरा हुआ पानी ये समस्या हमेशा की हैं, परन्तु ये न ही किसी जनप्रतिनिधी और न ही किसी अधिकारी को दिखाई देती है, बरसात के दिनों में कई-2 दिनों तक बच्चो को  स्कूल बंद करना पड़ता है जिसका सीधा असर उनके शिक्षा पर पड़ता है |

बात यही तक नहीं है बल्कि मुख्या मार्ग की स्थिति भी दयनीय है , हैरानी की बात तो ये है की लोगो को अपने बच्चो की कोई परवाह नहीं है, और न ही प्रशासन का इस ओर कोई ध्यान है |
शहदौरा से जुडे सभी जनप्रतिनिधियो को शर्म आनी चाहिए कि इतनी छोटी समस्या का अभी तक कोई समाधान नहीं कर सके|

शिक्षा के प्रति उनकी लापरवाही का अंदाजा भी आसानी से लगाया जा सकता है |

Ever since he assumed office in May 2014, PM Modi has embarked on a journey of all-round and inclusive development where every Indian can realize their hopes and aspirations. He remains deeply inspired by the principle of ‘Antyodaya’, of serving the last person in the queue.

Through innovative ideas and initiatives, the Government has ensured that the wheels of progress move at rapid pace and the fruits of development reach every citizen. Governance has become open, easier and transparent.

On 2nd October 2014, Mahatma Gandhi’s Birth Anniversary the PM launched ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ a mass movement for cleanliness across the Nation. The scale and impact of the movement is historic.

Narendra Modi’s foreign policy initiatives have realized the true potential and role of world’s largest democracy, India on the world stage. He began his term in office in presence of all Heads of States of SAARC Nations. His address to the General Assembly of United Nations was appreciated across the world. Narendra Modi became the first Indian Prime Minister to embark on a bilateral visit to Nepal after a long period of 17 years, to Australia after 28 years, to Fiji after 31 years and Seychelles after 34 years. Since taking over, Narendra Modi attended UN, BRICS, SAARC and G-20 Summits, where India’s interventions and views on a variety of global economic and political issues were widely appreciated.

His continued engaging with Europe was seen during his visit to France and Germany.

Shri Narendra Modi has attached great importance to strong ties with the Arab world. His visit to UAE in August 2015, the first by an Indian PM in 34 years, covered tremendous ground in enhancing India’s economic partnership with the Gulf. In July 2015 Shri Modi visited the five central Asian Nations in a visit that was seen as path breaking.

Born on 17 September 1950 in a small town in Gujarat, he grew up in a poor but loving family ‘without a spare rupee’. The initial hardships of life not only taught the value of hard work but also exposed him to the avoidable sufferings of the common people. This inspired him from a very young age to immerse himself in service of people and the nation. In initial years, he worked with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) a Nationalist organization devoted to nation building and later devoted himself in politics working with the Bharatiya Janta Party organization at National and State level. Shri Modi completed his MA in political science from Gujarat University.

In the year 2001, he became the Chief Minister of his home State Gujarat and went on to serve a record four terms as Chief Minister. He transformed Gujarat, which was reeling from the after-effects of a devastating earthquake, into a growth engine that makes a strong contribution to India’s development.

Narendra Modi is a ‘People’s Leader’, dedicated solving their problems and improving their well-being. Nothing is more satisfying to him than being amongst the people, sharing their joys and alleviating their sorrows. His powerful ‘personal connect’ with the people on ground is complemented by a strong online presence. He is known as India’s most techno-savvy leader, using the web to reach people and bring about change in their lives. He is very active on social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Sound Cloud, Linkedin, Weibo and other forums.

Beyond politics, Narendra Modi enjoys writing. He has authored several books, including poetry. He begins his day with yoga, which centers his body and mind and instills the power of calmness in an otherwise fast-paced routine.

This is the man, an embodiment of courage, compassion and conviction, on whom the nation has bestowed its mandate, trusting that he will rejuvenate India and make it a bright beacon to the world.

मोती लाल गुप्ता मेहंदी किंग से साईं सेवक बन समाज में बनाई एक विश्वसनीय पहचान

motilal guptaपीपल के पत्ते जैसे ना बनो जो वक़्त आने पर सुख जाते है बनना है तो मेहंदी के पत्तों सा बनो जो खुद पीस कर भी दुसरो की ज़िन्दगी मे रंग भर जाते है। कुछ इसी तरह  की सोच है फरीदाबाद के समाजसेवी और उद्योगपति मोतीलाल गुप्ता की जो 78 साल की उम्र मे अपने दम पर एन जी ओ चला रहे है और एक नहीं , दो नहीं , 1100 बच्चो को शिक्षा भी मुहैया करा रहे है। दरअसल मोती लाल गुप्ता ने सन 1987 मे अपनी ही ज़मीन पर साईं बाबा का मंदिर बनवाया जो तिगांव रोड पर स्थित है। ये मंदिर अब साईं धाम के नाम से जाना जाता है।

ऐसे हुई शुरुआत :- मोतीलाल गुप्ता एक साईं भक्त है। वो निरंतर साईं मंदिर मे प्रसाद बांटने जाया करते थे। लेकिन वहां उन्होंने देखा की छोटे-छोटे बच्चे भीख मांग रहे थे। उनके कपडे और हालत देखकर उनकी निरक्षरता का साफ़ पता चल रहा था। ये सब देखकर मोतीलाल गुप्ता को काफी दुःख हुआ। तभी उन्होंने उन जैसे बच्चों  का भविष्य संवारने का निर्णय लिया। उन्होंने गलियों और मंदिरों से छोटे-छोटे बच्चों को इकट्ठा किया। सबसे पहले एक छोटे से कमरे में 67 बच्चों को बैठाकर उनकी पढ़ाई शुरू कराई लेकिन फिर भी उन्हें संतुष्टि नहीं मिल पाई। धीरे-धीरे उन्होंने और अधिक प्रयास किये और 12 अप्रैल 2004 को अपने ही बनाए हुए साईं मंदिर के पास साईं धाम के नाम से स्कूल खोला। शुरुआत में स्कूल को चलने मे काफी दिक्कतें आई लेकिन उन्होंने हार नहीं मानी और आज उसी प्रयास का नतीजा है कि उसी स्कूल मे 1100 बच्चों  की ज़िन्दगी संवारी जा रही है। पढ़ाई के साथ-साथ बच्चों को सारी सुविधाएँ  दी जाती है। जैसे स्कूल यूनिफार्म, स्टेशनरी, नाश्ता, खाना आदि। मोतीलाल जी के इस काम में अन्य सामाजिक लोगों ने भी आर्थिक रूप से उनकी काफी मदद की। जैसे यू एस की एक एन जी ओ होम ऑफ़ होप ने साईं धाम स्कूल मे कंप्यूटर लैब खोलने के लिए लगभग 24 कंप्यूटर दान दिए। साईं धाम मे पढ़ाई के साथ-साथ महिलाओ को भी आत्म निर्भर बनने मे उनकी मदद की जाती है। महिलाओ को फ्री सिलाई-कड़ाई की ट्रेनिंग दी जाती है। इसके साथ-साथ शहर की कंपनियों मे उनकी नौकरी भी लगवायी जाती है ताकि वो अपने सामाजिक रूप को सुधार सके और अपने परिवार की आर्थिक रूप से सहायता कर सके। इस वक़्त अगर बात करे तो लगभग 100 महिलाओ को यहाँ प्रशिक्षण दिया जा रहा है।

 

सिर्फ स्कूल नहीं स्मार्ट स्कूल :- कहने को तो साईं धाम एक एन जी ओ द्वारा चलाया जा रहा स्कूल है लेकिन अगर सुविधाओ की बात करे तो किसी प्राइवेट स्कूल से ज्यादा सुविधाये इस स्कूल में उपलब्ध है। प्राइवेट स्कूलों की तरह इस स्कूल मे भी शानदार बिल्डिंग,कंप्यूटर लैब,केमिस्ट्री लैब,फीजिक्स लैब,स्मार्ट क्लास के साथ-साथ खेलो के लिए की भी सारी आधुनिक सुविधाये उपलब्ध है। साईं धाम स्कूल हरियाणा सरकार द्वारा मान्यता प्राप्त है। स्कूल मे बच्चो की पढ़ाई के लिए एजुकेटेड टीचर्स का स्टाफ है जबकि खेलों के लिए अलग से कोच रखा गया है।

 

स्कूल मे अन्य सुविधाएँ :- बच्चो के तकनीकी ज्ञान के लिए कंप्यूटर लैब मे NIIT के ट्रेनर्स को रखा गया है। पढ़ाई के साथ-साथ साईं धाम मे 18 होम्योपैथिक डिस्पेंसरी भी है जिसमे लगभग 800 से 1000 लोगो का प्रतिदिन इलाज़ किया जाता है। इस से अलग स्कूल के हर फ्लोर पर तीन टॉयलेट है। स्कूल आई एस ओ सर्टिफाइड है। बच्चो के मनोरंजन के लिए उन्हें अलग-अलग जगह ऐतिहासिक स्थल पर ले जाया जाता है।

हाल ही मे साईं धाम ने उत्तर प्रदेश के निसवारा मे लगभग 6 एकड़ ज़मीन पर एक और स्कूल बनाया है जिसके निर्माण में  एक प्राइवेट कंपनी ने लगभग 30 लाख रुपये का योगदान दिया। इस स्कूल मे लगभग 400 से 500 बच्चों को शिक्षा दी जा रही है। इस से अलग दिल्ली के ग़ाज़ीपुर स्लम मे भी 2013 मे एन जी ओ द्वारा एक कोचिंग सेंटर बनाया गया जिसमे 200 बच्चो को कोचिंग दी जा रही है जिसमे से 40% लड़कियां है।

इसके साथ-साथ मोतीलाल गुप्ता जी सामूहिक विवाह भी करवाते है। लगभग 400 से 500 शादियां करवा चुके मोतीलाल गुप्ता हर साल लगभग 100 शादियां करवाते है। इन शादियों का पूरा खर्च ये खुद उठाते है। ये सब गुप्ता जी बिना किसी भेदभाव,जात-पात के करते है। चाहे कोई हिन्दू हो,मुसलमान हो,सिख हो या ईसाई सबकी समान रूप से सहायता करते है। साईं धाम की तरफ से एक पहल की गयी है – जरुरत है मानसिकता बदलने की, जिसका स्लोगन रखा गया-  बेटी बचाओ,बेटी पढाओ,आत्म निर्भर बनाओ,सामूहिक विवाह अपनाओ।

 

लक्ष्य :- मोतीलाल गुप्ता जी का कहना है कि अब उनका एक ही लक्ष्य है और वो है अशिक्षा मिटाना। उनका सपना है कि पुरे देश मे साईं धाम जैसी संस्थाएं खोली जाएँ जिससे गरीब बच्चो को फ्री शिक्षा दी जा सके और उनके भविष्य को सुधारा जा सके। वे चाहते है कि देश के हर बच्चे को अच्छा खाना,अच्छी शिक्षा और अच्छा स्वास्थय मिले। साथ ही वो लोगो को प्रेरित करना चाहते है कि इस तरह के स्कूल खोले। सामूहिक विवाह को अपनाए ताकि गरीब और अनाथ लड़कियों का विवाह भी अच्छे से संपन्न हो सके। मोतीलाल गुप्ता जी साल 2015 मे तीन बार सामूहिक विवाह करवा रहे है। सामूहिक विवाह की पहली तिथि 19 अप्रैल 2015,दूसरी तिथि 31 मई 2015 और तीसरी तिथि २२ नवंबर 2015 है।

Khattar motivates Haryana Farmers

Haryana Chief Minister, Manohar Lal, has stressed the need for special emphasis on the marketing of agricultural produce which would help increase the income of the farmers. It is vital in the present era of globalization.

Security-personnel

Providing security cover to half of our population, how logical

It is has been always said that women constitute half of our population and the need to have stringer norms for protection of this half of our population has to be in place. Very true, I don’t think anyone would be having a different opinion. But I have a little deviation with what generally is said about the women safety and protection of her rights. Lion and order is a subject matter to which each of us is concerned deeply. With

the rise in the per capital income, change in lifestyle, reduction in ‘inactive’ hours of night due to call centers etc has actually changed the situation to a lot in comparison to what it used to be about two decades back. So, the nature of crime and the criminals has also varied with the times changing. While in the ancient times the things stolen could be the jewellery in most of the cases, now it could be a mobile or a gold chain. Now coming back to the point, since the women constitute half of the population, is it an intelligent thought to plan specifically for their security? No, certainly not. Instead we have to, and we are on the way, frame rules to punish the offenders in case of specific crime in a way that the rule itself works as a deterrent. Countries where the rules provide for ‘an eye for eye’ are not the one which has zero record of crime. So what more horrific can be more that ‘an eye for eye’? The point here for discussion is that why we are concentrating on the women security only? What about the other 50% of the population, i.e., the men? Most of the men are still not rapists and murderers, are doing white collar jobs and are busy in their professional world. Most of them are not even concerned of that the colleague with whom they are working for years is man or a woman. So why do we concentrate on women security alone? By doing this we are practicing under-utilisation of our resources. Instead of stressing the need for women security bowing to the pressure of political forces, we have to ensure that every citizen is equally and sufficiently protected. Men, doing good jobs are equally prone to most of the crimes. In fact, women given more power by acts, these men are more prone to being framed in a false case of rape or molestation. We are a civilised society and cannot keep changing our priorities. Security, no doubt is an important issues, but not of women alone.

We have to increase vigil around schools to protect children. We have to change our security culture by providing presence of near to equal police force on roads round the clock. This would enhance the security not only for women but for each and every citizen of this great country. Any need to increase the number of cops has to be supported by the budget. Ultimately it is people’s money for the people. The crimes specific to women: such as rape, molestation, domestic violence etc.,

need to be addressed by more systematic way of enquiry. With corruption residing deep into the roots of our system, most of the cases are presented weak in the courts due to lapses in the enquiry or non-submission of evidence before the court. Procedures should be more specific for providing these details. The enquiries should not be discretionary but on the basis of a vast questionnaire to be answered by the investigating officer. This, I believe would help in removing the anomalies of the legal system. However, a serious thought has to be given to the security of the other half population, the men, who are the prime source of bread and butter for the family, equally prone to crime in this fast expanding materialistic world.

We have to use our resources as a blanket cover for all and not specific for any particular section of the society.
