RTE campaign 'non-starter' in Mewat
Gurgaon, February 14 Interestingly, over an year later, the campaign is still a "non-starter" in the area as the authorities have failed to find the number of out-of-school children to be covered under the Act. Under the Act, the administration is required to identify eligible children through a child-mapping survey and make the list public. The schools in the area have to admit students according to the list. While repeated surveys have been conducted by a handful government teachers here, officials are still clueless about the number of children who are out of school or fall under categories like economically weaker or physically challenged sections. While the District Education Officer was unavailable for comments, another official said, "We are not aware of any such survey. We have done the RTE survey in which we have listed the number of rooms, teachers and students and sent it to our state headquarters. There is no direction for child mapping." According to independent surveys done by several NGOs, over 40 per cent of the total children between the age group of seven to13 go to madrassas and only a handful of girls continue studies after Class V.

Chronic, hardened criminals also have basic rights: CJM
Sirsa, February 14 Addressing the jail authorities at the Special Health Check-up Camp in District Jail, Sirsa, Harish Gupta, Chief Judicial Magistrate-cum-Secretary, District Legal Services Authority, Sirsa, called for affordable medical facilities to the jail inmates, conducive to their legal rights, which are basic amenities for a human being. The judge said although jail inmates had committed anti-social offences, even then it was the duty of the jail authority to provide them healthy food, water, clothing and medical facilities besides spiritual classes. We require a skill-development strategy so that jail inmates not only in jail, but when they rejoined society after serving their punishment in the jail may lead the life of good citizens. Inmates who were mentally sick were entitled to receive treatment in such a manner that was appropriate to the circumstances. Treatment must also be adequate, said Gupta.

Education Dept to implement School Nurture Policy
Chandigarh, February 14 While stating this, Haryana Education Minister Geeta Bhukkal said the policy aimed at extending support of such partners to individuals, organisations and institutions like school development monitoring committees, panchayti raj Institutions and non-government organisations to work more closely with schools and lessen the urban and rural disparities. Bhukkal said the state had 16,000 government primary and high schools catering to the educational needs of about 26 lakh children who were mostly from the lower and middle strata of society. The state government was committed to ensure free, compulsory and quality education for all children in the age group of 6-14 years, she added. The Minister said as a catalyst one needed to choose a school from the list and in case of desire to adopt a school for all-around development or for any specific capacity building and training intervention within a school, one had to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the department. She said there was an ample scope for the intervention based on the needs of schools, children, the kind of education required and the local issues. However, as an entry point, the department has listed various possible interventions like capacity building and trainings, teaching and learning related activities and supportive and construction activities for classrooms, drinking water facility and sanitation. Besides, vocational education and science education are other such interventions. Bhukkal said under the management partnership, one could adopt a school for the purposes of quality improvement. The programme will encourage community participation through donations. A donor can choose a school and the kind of donation. The benefits for a catalyst included publicity and documentation, rightful place on the departmental portal and acknowledgement on major occasions.

Gurgaon police goes for self-assessment
Gurgaon, February 14 While one officer will keep a tab during the day, another will be checking during the
night hours. "We want to ensure 100 per cent efficiency in our working, therefore, we are going for self-assessments. The plan was approved at a meeting recently where we decided to get two officers to keep a check on police stations and PCRs and ensure that we are here 24-hours for the citizens ” said Deputy Commissioner of Police Surender Pal. Interestingly, sources said rather than just being a self-assessment drive, the move was an outcome of the numerous complaints, received by the department against officers on duty. While some complainants alleged that some officers were drunk on duty and misbehaving with complainants, others claimed that the officers were not present in police stations or PCRs and failed to reach on spot in time. Notably, not only the Commissioner Office but also the Police Complaint Authority had received such complaints in the resent past The senior officials, however, refused to confirm the same. “There is nothing of that sort. It’s not important why we are doing this but what matters is the fact that we are trying hard to guarantee that we are here for our citizens. We are trying to rule out even the rarest of the rare chances of making a folly while on duty. We are here to give our 100 per cent,” Surinder Pal said.

Chorus to contest MC poll on party symbol grows louder in Cong
Ambala, February 14 In a letter to party president Sonia Gandhi and All India Congress Committee general secretary-cum-in charge of Haryana affairs B K Hariprasad, Narinder Pal Shera, district Congress president (Ambala Cantonment), and Hira Lal Yadav, president, block Congress, have demanded that instead of supporting the like-minded candidates, the party should contest the poll on its own symbol. Shera said not contesting the elections on party symbol would lead to confusion. “As no tickets are allocated by the party, a number of party leaders will file nominations from the same wards. This not only will affect their chances of winning as votes get divided, but also create confusion amongst the party rank and file,” Shera said. He said, “If the elections are contested on the party symbol, it would certainly increase their chances of winning the elections.” Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee president Phool Chand Mullana said the matter was still under consideration and nothing had been finalised yet.Meanwhile, Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said it was for the party to take a decision in this
regard.

Ambala IMT project lapsed due to political interference: CM
Mullana (Ambala), February 14 About three years ago, the Chief Minister had announced the project to set up the IMT in Ambala. Even as the state government had initiated the process to acquire 1,150 acres of land from 450 farmers in six villages, the project never became a reality. The process lapsed as the Land Acquisition Collector (LAC) failed to execute the proceedings under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, wherein the earmarked land was to be identified for final acquisition, and possession was to be taken. Speaking to mediapersons at the house of HPCC chief Phool Chand Mullana, Hooda refuted the allegation levelled by the INLD that the Congress was using the CBI as a tool to nail leaders of the opposition parties. “If there was any political vendetta, I could have moved against the Chautalas eight years back. It was a court’s decision and the INLD should see it likewise.” On the future of the 3,206 JBT teachers, who had been appointed during the regime of OP Chautala, Hooda said the matter was pending in the high court and its decision would be final. He reiterated that his government was committed to ensuring uniform development of the state and there was no ‘favoritism’ in allotting developmental projects to various districts as was being alleged by Union Minister for Tourism Minister Kumari Selja, who had even shot a letter to UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi in this regard recently.
