@annamalai_k NEET being a single shot for the aspirants to get a seat is very high stakes exam. Personal emergency on a day spoils the year.
Two exams, a month apart should be considered.
One for all state/national medical colleges and next for selected private colleges, may be ?
Over the past many years, I have taken a personal stand in support of the NEET examination, arguing that it brought uniformity in student selection across the country and gave students from underprivileged backgrounds a real shot at pursuing their dream of medical education. In the last 5 years, the NEET UG question paper has leaked thrice. Imagine the amount of pressure that it puts on students, who had to go through the examination process yet another time when the system that was supposed to bring in uniformity was failing. Yet there was no accountability, and I believe strongly that it was that moment that brought in a shift in the minds of the students to take to the streets to cry their hearts out.
Protest is a fundamental right in a Democracy. The pertinent question, however, is this: why did the BJP-led Central Government take so long to initiate a dialogue with the protestors? Why was meaningful engagement delayed until the protest had escalated to a flashpoint? What kept you waiting?
The students and the people who are leading them also have a responsibility here. It is natural that when a protest stays on for weeks, people with vested interests will take the stage to air views that are either completely irrelevant to the initial demands of the protests or would try to completely hijack it to serve their agenda. If you remain silent and let these people with vested interests further their agenda, then you are deviating from your core objectives. Please do not let it happen!
I urge the BJP-led Central Government to engage in meaningful dialogue, uphold transparency, and take swift, appropriate action to address the concerns at hand. The strength of any nation lies in the confidence its youth place in its institutions. If our students lose faith in the fairness and credibility of our education system, we are jeopardising the future of our nation.
@PMCMCO@CPCB_OFFICIAL@mpcb_official@PMCPune Large-scale chemical and garbage burning takes place almost daily at night in Hadapsar Industrial Estate, Pune. Despite repeated complaints, the authorities show little to no concern for the resulting health hazards
Not Fog, It’s Pollution: Pune’s Air Turns Hazardous
Is Pune Heading Towards Delhi’s Air Crisis? What looked like morning fog from the sky turned out to be a thick layer of pollution over Pune. Flyers returning to the city were greeted by unusually grey and hazy conditions, raising fresh concerns over the city’s worsening air quality.
