More collaboration needed in education
sector: Raju
New Delhi, August 24 Towards this end, the Government of India has ensured that the basic elements of sustainable development be included in school syllabi and at higher education level, the government in collaboration with UNESCO has established the first ‘category one’ institute in all of Asia named “Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development”, said the minister while presiding over the event. “The government accords high priority to education for sustainable development and in this direction, the institute has been set up recently, and he would like to see more collaboration between all such institutions world-wide,” he stated. “The state of environment is a reminder of what we as humans are actually inflicting on nature. At the same time, it also gives us the opportunity at hand to reverse the process of environmental decline and work for the present and a future built on the principles of environmental justice, equity and human development. In this regard, the role of education is critical as it is the cornerstone of a modern society,” said the minister. |

Reducing child mortality
rate stressed
New Delhi, August 24 Though the child mortality rate in India has been declining over the last few years, there is a growing concern that the decline is not fast enough to achieve Millennium Development Goals, Deb said. Emphasising the importance of breast feeding, she said, “Mother’s milk is the best food for a child who is below six months. It has all the essential nutrients that a child needs at the tender age and it significantly strengthens the child’s immune system as well.” And as undernourishment stands as the major cause for high infant mortality rate (IMR), resulting in growth retardation and impaired development in the country, the government has allocated budget to all the states and UTs to fight child malnutrition and provide nutritious food to children and women, Dr Deb noted. “Child mortality is a critical indicator of a country’s socio-economic development. So, reducing IMR is an area of concern and is reflected in the government’s policy and programmes.,” she added. |

DSGMC chief meets Bassi, seeks probe into Tilak Nagar clash
New Delhi, August 24 It is amply clear that the incident was a pre-planned conspiracy against the Sikh community, Manjit said while demanding that the SHO be suspended. Amid several versions of what triggered the violence in which 27 people, including five policemen, were injured, according to Manjit, the local police failed to initiate timely action and instead resorted to firing and use of teargas shells. “The attitude of the SHO of the police station was against the members of the Sikh community and many members of the community were hurt in the clash due to direct firing by the cops even as the police claims that it fired in the air to control the mob,” he wrote in a letter addressed to the commissioner. |
