Despite RTE, Govt Schools Struggle With Poor Facilities, Unskilled Teachers And High Dropouts

By NEWSCOP | INNLIVE

The Times of India reported that 27,000 of the 75,489 schools in Karnataka had three or fewer classrooms. Quoting provisional figures for 2015-16 released by the District Information System for Education (DISE), the report said that this was because of the government policy of determining the number of classrooms through the number of teachers in each school.

The DISE has revealed in its report that while 10,592 schools in Karnataka had three classrooms, 14,064 had two classrooms, 2,083 had one classroom and 164 schools had no classrooms at all. The DISE data is collated by the National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NEUPA), Delhi, established by the HRD ministry.

By LIKHAVEER | INNLIVE

The impending exit of Raghuram Rajan from the Reserve Bank this September seems to have emboldened Subramanian Swamy, the BJP's maverick Rajya Sabha MP, to take on more real or imagined "enemies". 

The latest to be targeted is Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) Arvind Subramanian, with Swamy recalling an old statement of Subramanian to the US Congress seeking the penalisation of India for its pharma patents stand. Swamy also alleged, in another tweet, that the CEA was behind the Congress' hardening of stand on the goods and services tax (GST).

Opinion: If Salman Khan Is Not On Public Trial – Is It Our Framework Of Judgement?

By M H AHSSAN | INNLIVE

Are we a society that will pardon manslaughter and animal killing but condemn a man for an idiotic error?

Salman Khan is not new to controversy. He looks like a kid with his hand perpetually in a cookie jar of trouble. In fact, his controversies seem more memorable than his movies. There is something endearing about the man – there is an innocence, an adolescence, a ham-handedness. It is as if he is perpetually goofing his lines. One is forced to conclude that he has a bad script-writer or that he has a touch of a bumbler. Even the bumbling image works as he come out as a vulnerable man.

A Special Note To AP CM Chandrababu Naidu: 'Family Planning Is Not About Class But About Women's Rights And Choices'

By NEWS KING | INNLIVE

Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu recently asked rich people in the state to have more than one child.

Determining the size of her family is every woman’s right. For individuals in leadership positions, to make comments to the contrary is regressive and can push back the country’s progress on many fronts. These include India’s goal for population stabilisation, FP2020 – an international partnership of more than 20 governments on family planning – and the Sustainable Development Goals commitments. The debate is not whether the rich should have more children; it is about choices and rights.

Rape As A Flippant Metaphor: Superstar Salman Khan's Comment Reflects Our Attitude

By M H AHSSAN | INNLIVE

It seems that when it comes to Salman Khan, to err is Being Human, to forgive is divine.

Acrtor Salman Khan has shown that he does not need helpless blackbucks and hapless pavement dwellers to land himself in hot hot water. He can do it very efficiently on his own even while doing publicity for his own film.

The latest brouhaha is around a remark about his grueling schedule for the film Sultan. In an interview with INNLIVE, Salman said, “When I used to walk out of the ring, after the shoot, I used to feel like a raped woman. I couldn’t walk straight.”
