Raipur, November 11, 2010
The state government will soon launch public awareness campaign under Saakshar Bharat programme, a centrally sponsored scheme aimed to further promote and strengthen adult education between 15-35 years of age. The Panchayat Raj Institutions (PRIs) would be the main implementing agency at the district, block and gram panchayat levels, with the State Literacy Mission Authority (SLMA) and the communities at the village level as valued stakeholders. The decision was taken during a meeting of field officers linked with Saakshar Bharat programme chaired by SLMA Director Niharika Barik Singh at the state office of Rajeev Gandhi Shiksha Mission on Thursday.
Eight districts of the state including Jashpur, Janjgir-Champa, Koria, Korba, Kabeerdham, Mahasamund, Raipur and Sarguja have been selected under the first phase of this programme. The officials informed that the initial activities related to the programme have begun in all these districts.
For the second phase of Saakshar Bharat, six districts comprising Jagdalpur, Dantewada, Bijapur, Narayanpur, Bilaspur and Raigarh have been selected. Singh asked the officials to commence the programme in these places at the earliest.
Reviewing the progress of the programme district-wise, Singh directed the officials to set annual target for each district and to prepare a work plan to connect all the illiterates through equivalency with formal education system.
Notably, Saakshar Bharat programme prime objective is to cover those who missed the opportunity of formal education earlier, and now feel a need for learning of any type, including basic literacy, basic education (equivalency to formal education), vocational education (skill development), physical and emotional development, practical arts, applied science, sports and recreation.
The programme is mainly focusing on women and adolescents from socio-economically disadvantaged sections like the SCs, STs, minorities and other disadvantaged sections in rural areas of low female districts.
The government has established Lok Shiksha Kendra (Adult Education Centre) in each gram sabha operated by two preraks (at least one of them should be a woman).
Sudarshan has lost his mental balance: Cong
Raipur, November 11, 2010
The state Congress on Thursday demanded an apology from former RSS chief KS Sudarshan for his controversial statements against UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and warned of agitation if he does not express regret. “Sudarshan’s derogatory remarks are nasty and fictitious and he seems to have lost his mental balance and need quick medical treatment,” said PCC president Dhanendra Sahu, senior party leader Vidya Charan Shukla and others on Thursday. The state Congress Sewadal’s chief organiser Ashok Raj Ahuja has also condemned Sudarshan for his remarks and demanded apology from him.
The Congress enraged after Sudarshan, while interacting with media on November 10 at Bhopal, called Sonia a CIA agent and accused her of plotting assassinations of her husband and former Prime Minister Rajeev Gandhi and her mother-in-law and former PM Indira Gandhi.
“The country is aware about Sonia’s sacrifice as she had refused Prime Minister’s post. The RSS has lost its control due to her increasing popularity and hence Sudarshan has made such objectionable remarks,” the Congress leaders said and added that the former Sangh chief’s statement had exposed the real face of his organisation.
“Sudarshan has always given controversial statements in the past and had attempted to disturb the peace and communal harmony of the nation,” they said.
The Congress leaders alleged that the RSS had not only links with Ajmer and Malegaon bomb blasts, but also with several other similar activities in different parts of the country.
Notably, the war of words between Congress and RSS triggered after the former recently targeted the RSS and alleged that it had terror links during AICC meeting at New Delhi. Protesting the statements of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, the RSS had staged day-long dharnas across the country on November 10, 2010.
