NEW DELHI: Against the backdrop of teacher training programme being revamped, the government today said it was also working on introducing refresher courses to help them acquire knowledge about the latest developments in the field.
“The National Council for Teachers Education is working on a refresher programme. This is being done to ensure that teachers are navigated through a huge maze of knowledge and information developing in this fast changing world,” School Education Secretary Vrinda Sarup said at an event today.
The programme was organised by NCTE to commemorate Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary.
The government had earlier announced from the next session onwards, the two teaching degrees – B.Ed and M.Ed – would be two-year courses.
At a state education ministers conference last week, Sarup had said that an integrated four-year course leading to B.A and B.Ed degree will be started immediately after class XII to attract bright minds from an early age into the profession.
Those who want to be primary school teachers can get into two-year diploma in education course after class XII.
Pursuing the M.Ed programme under the open and distance learning mode has been dropped.
Subjects such as yoga, information and communication technology, gender and children with special needs will be included in all the teacher education programmes, she had said.
New Delhi: An eyewitness on Monday identified in a Delhi court the six accused who had allegedly gangraped a 51-year-old Danish tourist at knife point in January 2014.
Deposing as a prosecution witness, Shivji Singh, who was working as a gardener with Indian Railways, told Additional Sessions Judge Kaveri Baweja that he had seen all the accused sitting with the woman in a park and at that time, one of them was raping her.
Singh deposed that on the evening of January 14, 2014, when he returned to her room and started preparing food, he heard a voice which appeared to be an alarm raised by a woman and found that it was coming from a temple in the park.
“I saw all the accused sitting nearby the foreigner lady and Mahender was committing rape upon her. All the other accused were sitting surrounding the woman and Arjun was having a knife in his hand,” Singh deposed in the court.
Singh, whose statement remained inconclusive on Monday and would continue on Tuesday, said the accused saw him and showed him the knife with a gesture that he would be killed after which he became frightened and returned to him room.
The witnesses identified the six men in the court and said they were ruffians who resided in the area and used to commit petty offences.
The police, in its charge sheet, had said that the eight persons, all vagabonds, had robbed and gangraped the Danish tourist at knife-point on the night of January 14, 2014 after leading her to a secluded spot close to the Divisional Railway Officers’ Club near New Delhi Railway Station.
The eight accused, including the two juveniles, were arrested in the case. The two juveniles are facing an inquiry before the Juvenile Justice Board.
The six adult accused Mahendra alias Ganja (24), Mohd Raja (22), Raju (23), Arjun (21), Raju Chakka (22) and Shyam Lal (55) are in judicial custody.
The eight have been booked under Sections 376 (2)(G) (gangrape), 397 (robbery or dacoity, with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt) and 392 (robbery) of IPC.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers, who were maintaining a low-profile in Bengaluru, previously known as Bangalore, since the blistering Lok Sabha campaign last year, got a major boost with the visit of Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday for a whirlwind fundraiser for the Delhi elections.
A banquet in the afternoon, with tickets priced at Rs. 20,000 each, had more than 200 guests and netted a cool Rs. 40 lakh for the party which has emerged as the main challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitions in the national capital.
The “selfie with mufflerman” campaign as well other individual donations has put between Rs 15 and 20 lakh in the party’s kitty, sources said.
Answering a question during the luncheon, he said, “Many of you might be wondering why we are holding a fundraiser here when the elections are in Delhi. Don’t forget that what happens in Delhi impacts the whole country.”
Kejriwal, who addressed a public meeting at the St. Aloysius College here, had the small but enthusiastic crowd of around 1,500 latching on to every word as he lampooned the Modi government and the BJP. Claiming that the AAP will receive a clear majority this time, he said, ”
“BJP held a rally yesterday (Saturday). They had set a target of 1 lakh people. Less than 30,000 people showed up. 2500 buses were deployed. That means about 12 people sat in one bus and came. The language used by them shows they are extremely nervous and scared.”
Responding to the “professional protestor” label given to him by the BJP, he said, “They did not criticise one thing we did in 49 days.
That means even BJP thinks we did well in 49 days.”
François Hollande says ‘Paris is the capital of the world’ as estimated 3.7 million across France march in solidarity
Around 1.5 million people take to the streets of Paris on Sunday in a show of defiance and unity
It was the day Paris united. And with dozens of world leaders joining the millions of people marching to commemorate and celebrate the victims of last week’s terror attacks, it was also the day the world united behind the city.
“Today, Paris is the capital of the world. The entire country will rise up,” the French president, François Hollande, said.
It was the first time since the liberation of Paris in August 1944 that so many people – the interior ministry said there were too many to count but most estimates put it at somewhere between 1.5 million and 2 million – took to the streets of the city. An estimated 3.7 million took to the streets across the whole country.
As investigations continue into the attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine by Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, which left 12 dead on Wednesday, the killing of a female police officer the following day, and the attack on a Kosher supermarket by Amédy Coulibaly on Friday in which four died, the mood among the crowds in Paris was one of unity.
This was a nationwide outpouring of grief, solidarity and defiance. Parisiens of all ages, religions and nationalities turned out en masse not only to show their respect for the victims but their support for the values of the Republic: “liberté, égalité, fraternité” – freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
“On est tous Charlie” (We are all Charlie), they chanted, waving French flags, singing La Marseillaise, brandishing pens, pencils, placards and banners in French, English and Arabic.
Some read “Nous sommes la République” (We are the Republic) and “Je suis Muslim”. One child held a banner reading: “I am Charlie, I am the police, and no Chérif will take away my liberty.” Another young boy carried a placard reading: “Later I will be a journalist. I’m not afraid!”
“We are united – Muslims, Catholics, Jews, we want to live peacefully together,” one woman told reporters.
A group of marchers carried a large model of a pencil with “NOT AFRAID” written on the side.
The noise along the route, where around 2,200 heavily armed police and gendarmes, including crack snipers on roofs, were deployed, rose and fell in waves, with songs and chants of “Charlie, Charlie, Charlie” punctuating the solemnity of the atmosphere and drowning out the helicopters overhead.
At regular intervals, the crowd stopped to applaud police and gendarmes shouting “merci police”; three police officers died in the attacks.
On a political and diplomatic level, it was unparalleled. Protocol rules were ignored as around 50 world leaders congregated in the French capital. Presidents, prime ministers, statesmen and women took buses from the Elysée palace to join the march from Place de la République to Place de la Nation, two of Paris’s best-known squares.
The occasion was sombre and heavy with symbolism. As the dignitaries left the Elysée, it rained. By the time they arrived, the grey clouds had parted, allowing a rare ray of winter sunshine.
Here were some of the most powerful people on earth jostling for space in the Paris boulevard named after Voltaire, the French Enlightenment writer, historian and advocate of freedom of religion and speech.
The leaders then set off, arm in arm, Hollande in the centre, the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, to his left. To his right, Ibrahim Boubacar Këita, the president of Mali – where French troops intervened to push back Islamist forces in 2013 – the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, and the British prime minister, David Cameron. As they marched, the crowds that lined the route broke into cheers and applause.
As a powerful mark of respect for those who died, the world leaders took second place, walking behind the families and friends of the victims of last week’s attacks.
Charlie Hebdo staff, including those who survived Wednesday’s attack, wore white headbands bearing the name Charlie.
In the leading cortege, tears streamed down faces etched with pain, grief and shock. Several mourners had to be gently supported as they made their way towards Place de la Nation.
In one poignant and profoundly emotional scene, Hollande hugged Patrick Pelloux, an A&E doctor who is also a journalist at Charlie Hebdo. Pelloux arrived late at the magazine office on Wednesday to find many of his colleagues had been slaughtered. He and other survivors have vowed to publish Charlie Hebdo next Wednesday despite the attack with a record print run of 1 million copies
Leaders of all the religions marched behind a banner bearing the slogan “We are Charlie”.
Earlier in the day hundreds gathered to honour Ahmed Merabet, 42, the police officer gunned down in the Charlie Hebdo attack. The hashtag #JesuisAhmed has become widely used on Twitter along with #JesuisCharlie.
Pierre-Yves Martin, mayor of Livry Gargan in the north-east of Paris, paid homage to a “calm and talented” man. The Muslim officer was killed at close range by the fleeing gunmen Saïd and Chérif Kouachi.
“Ahmed Merabet, your life was stolen and no one can give it back, and so it was not taken in vain we are here, united against barbarism and to uphold the values of the Republic,” Martin said.
The mayor asked those gathered to hold hands for a minute’s silence. Flowers were laid in front of a portrait of the assassinated man, and the crowd sang La Marseillaise.
On Sunday evening, after the march, Hollande was due at the Grande Synagogue in Paris to meet Jewish leaders. The Jewish community has been traumatised by Friday’s hostage-taking at the kosher supermarket at the Porte de Vincennes in eastern Paris.
Speaking to reporters before meeting Hollande and the French prime minister, Manuel Valls, Roger Cukierman, president of the Jewish umbrella group CRIF, condemned those who were using social media to express support for the Kouachi brothers killed in a shootout by police on Friday, around the same time a separate police assault killed gunman Amédy Coulibaly at the supermarket.
“It is intolerable that there is a hashtag on social media saying #IamKouachi,” Cukierman said. He branded the tweets as “an apology for murder” which should be pursued through the courts.
Government ministers, led by prime minister Manuel Valls, and representatives from France’s political parties, including the former president Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, were part of another delegation at the march. The far right Front National, which has linked immigration with terrorism, was not invited to take part in the official cortege.
France’s Socialist government had called for a Republican march, but so many citizens responded to the call it became more of a crowded shuffle along the 3km route.
The events of last week have deeply shocked and scarred the French people who found a sense of collective comfort in coming together on Sunday to say “We are not afraid”. As night fell, they continued to march and gather, reluctant to leave the comfort of the crowd and the momentous occasion.
A Team of all female climbers from Nepal have achieved a mountaineering first, scaling seven of the world’s highest peaks on seven continents.
Their aim was to show other women in Nepal that climbing isn’t just a sport for men, so they set out on the quest in 2008, starting with Mount Everest in their own backyard. Their goal was realized in late December when four of the women made it to the top of Mount Vinson in Antarctica.
Today, the team returned home to a hero’s welcome. The team leader, Shailee Basnet, told reporters at the airport in Kathmandu, “A big journey that started seven years ago has finally culminated in a seventh climb, so, after years of saying one done, two done, three, four, five, we can now say: seventh climb!”
In six years the women scaled Everest in Asia, Kosciuszko in Australia, Elbrus in Europe, Kilimanjaro in Africa, Aconcagua in South America, Denali or McKinley in North America and Vinson in Antarctica.
More than 4,000 people have scaled Mount Everest and more than half of them have been from Nepal, but of that number only 24 have been women. The first Nepalese woman to reach the summit, Pasang Lhamu, made it in 1993 but died on the descent.
The seven women financed their climbs with personal savings, sponsors and fund raising events
Child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi has dedicated his Nobel Peace Prize to the nation by presenting his medal to President Pranab Mukherjee. Visitors to Rashtrapati Bhavan will now be able to get a glimpse of the Nobel Peace Prize.
The medal was dedicated by Satyarthi to Mukherjee at a ceremony held at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
“Satyarthi is doing very good job which has been recognised by the international community and in its recognition he has been given Noble Peace Prize. I thank him on behalf of people of this country,” Mukherjee said during the ceremony.
Satyarthi and Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai were on December 10, 2014, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their pioneering work on promoting child rights.
“I committed the medal to the country today. All eyes of the world are on India. It should be our collective responsibility that children’s rights are protected,” Satyarthi said.
“There is no Nobel medal in country today as those who got it, they are not here or left the country. Rabindranath Tagore’s medal was stolen. This Nobel medal is of the country, of all its people,” he said.
Satyarthi also urged the Parliamentarians to pass a legislation which seeks to ban any kind of labour by child below the age of 14 years, and also prohibits employment of children below the age of 18 years in hazardous industries.
“It was to be passed in the last Winter Session. I hope it will be done soon,” he said.
Satyarthi’s NGO ‘Bachpan Bachao Andolan’ claims to have rescued over 83,000 children from bonded labour and slavery since its inception in 1980.
Stressing the dignity of labour, Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani on Tuesday told a conference of state education ministers in New Delhi that she had washed utensils 15 years ago at a hotel in Mumbai.
However, she is not alone. Firstpost brings you a list of celebrities, sports persons and politicians in India who slogged and made it to the top.
Here are some of the inspiring stories.
1. Mamata Banerjee: The first woman Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee’s rise to power was not an easy one. She was born in Calcutta to a lower-middle class family. Interested in politics from a young age, Banerjee joined the Congress in the 1970s. An NDTVreport says, “From the unknown worker pasting anti-CPM posters to General Secretary of the Congress’ youth wing, Banerjee had a meteoric rise in the Congress. She first contested elections in 1984.” Later in 1997 she broke away from the Congress and started her own party – the Trinamool Congress. Despite her rise to fame Banerjee still lives an austere life and is only seen in cotton sarees and rubber chappals.
2. Rajinikanth: Born Shivaji Rao Gaekwad, the actor had to see much struggle during his initial years an an actor. The Indian Express reports, “At the start of his career, he took up a number of odd jobs including being a carpenter and a coolie. He was later employed by Bangalore Transport Service (BTS), where he worked as a bus conductor.” He also used to take part in many stage plays where he was noticed by Tamil film director K Balachander, and the rest, as goes the popular saying, is history.
3. Irfan and Yusuf Pathan: The brothers were born to a poor family and grew up in a mosque in Vadodara, Gujarat. Their father was a muezzin (the person appointed at a mosque to lead, and recite the call to prayer). While Irfan made his debut for India in the 2003/04 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Yusuf made his debut in first-class cricket in 2001/02. Irfan Pathan’s father Mehboob Khan was once quoted in an interview as saying, “In India, even the sons of billionaires play cricket, but they don’t get into the national team. What did I have? Nothing but a broom. Destiny is rewarding me.”
4. Nawazuddin Siddiqui: Before starring in critically acclaimed films like Gangs of Wasseypur and Kahaani, and also bagging a national award for his role in Talaash, Siddiqui had worked as a watchman and a chemist. He was born to a farmer in Uttar Pradesh’s Bhudana village. Here’s how Tehelka put his transition in short, “His earliest memories are of waking up at 4 am to help his father on the farm before going to school. He studied science in college and briefly worked as a chemist in a petrochemical company. The boredom of the job brought him to Delhi where he drifted towards theatre, obsessively watching plays for a year and sustaining himself as a watchman in an office.”
5. MC Mary Kom: The first Indian woman boxer to win a medal in the Olympics, Mary grew up helping raise her siblings and farming apart from studying and playing sports. Reader’s Digest in a story about the boxer says, “Inspired by Manipuri boxer Dingko Singh’s gold at the 1998 Asian Games, Mary Kom moved to Imphal, the Manipur capital, to train in athletics. Dressed in torn, shabby clothes, the teenager approached coach K Kosana Meitei at the Sports Authority of India there and asked to be given a chance.” Now she is a celebrity with a film that was based on her life.
Mumbai: The Central Industrial Security Force on Wednesday is probing threat by Islamic State scribbled on a wall of the Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. It warned of an attack by IS on January 10.
The note written by a pen on men’s washroom wall read, “ATTECK BY ISIS 10/0/15 (sic).”
Since no CCTV footage was available, the CISF said they were analysing the footage outside the washroom.
So far investigation hasn’t revealed anything. Mumbai Police will also probe the case.
The message was first spotted by a cleaner on Tuesday evening.
Security has been tightened across the country after Pakistani boat explode near Porbandar port in Gujarat.

If you visit the betel shop of Nand Lal, do not be surprised if you are given a packet of condoms for free with you favourite ‘paan’.
From a small wooden shop tucked away in a corner of the bustling Falka Bazar of Katihar district, Lal has been handing out free contraceptives to his customers since November to spread awareness about AIDS and population explosion. “I read about burgeoning population and the increasing incidents of AIDS and realised that every Indian has to do his bit to counter them. So many adults come to my shop… I thought why not provide them condoms with a request to indulge in safe sex and try limit the family to two children,” said Lal.
As the 45-year-old shopkeeper hands a packet of condom to each of his customers, they stop, smile, and listen to his advice. “At first a few of my clients took umbrage at this, but when they understood that I meant well, they started liking it. Today I have no problem with any of them. I also realised that many people do not buy condoms out of shyness. They are very supportive of my move,” he added.
On an average, Lal distributes over 75 packets of contraceptives among the people who visit his shop to buy paan and other tit-bits. But doesn’t he feel any financial pinch over his initiative?
“At first it was difficult to maintain the momentum. Packets of condoms are not cheap. My wife termed it unnecessary expenditure and was dead against it. Lekin usko mana liya (But I placated her). I try to make up for their cost through my daily sales,” Lal added.
Once non-government organisations came to know about Lal’s unique service, they started providing him a few packets on a daily basis to be distributed among the people. The shopkeeper’s noble initiative has become so popular that not only people flock to him, but the state health department has also decided to chip in and provide him with condoms for free.
“This is a positive approach towards spreading awareness about AIDS and family planning. We are with Lal in his initiative, and have decided to provide free packets of condoms to him for distribution among people,” said health department official Dr PK Singh.
