It would save us a lot of energy if we could have access to Haryana’s current policy and see whether it can be further improved, which may not be needed at all. If that's the case, we can concentrate on those portions of the policy that can be easily implemented with the help of the local govt. (panchayat) and the chief minister.

Yes Kapoor. After reading Priti and Sukhda's posts I too think
we should see what exactly the state governments already have
in terms of policy and implementation details.

We can than adapt to those policies and see what we can get
implemented in Harya.

How do we get to such information now ?

Board of education, Haryana web site is:

http://hbse.nic.in/

Directory of govt. sites is:

http://goidirectory.nic.in/haryana.htm

I am wondering to what level of detail this policies are defined.
For instance are teacher evaluation forms described ? If so by whom ?
Are these available somewhere ?

Or is all of this "implementation" details which never got defined
in the first place...in which case we won't have a lot of help.
I am not sure how useful high level policies would be.

But still we need to find out what exists out there.
 
Current Policy!!!

I found the following link to Haryana’s Education Policy (2000). The policy may very well have been updated since then but it looks quite impressive even if it’s been not.

http://haryana.gov.in/downloads/edu-pol.pdf

Although, this link does not spell out the nitty-gritty as to how the specifics will be implemented on a daily basis; in spirit the policy seems to contain enough to accomplish the desired results (of course, if IMPLEMENTED in earnest).

Cheers

Dear All,

Bhai Raj, thanks for starting a good discussion and also tickling me! I was sort of incommunicado for about a month as I was visiting the real JATLAND. And thanks Sateypal Deshwal for reminding me. Just a little note though. I had promised RK Ji towards contributing to the Cancer Hospital. May be a week’s labor or some such thing. Hopefully in the next few months I should be able to say good bye to Mumbai and be amongst my kith & kin.

To be frank I have nothing much to contribute as worthy members like Sujata Ji, Kapoor Singh, Dev and others have covered almost everything. My views on this issue have been expressed a number of times in other postings. However, my views seem to differ. I don’t know but every time I make a visit back home and travel through Sonepat/Rohtak and Western UP (Ghaziabad – Meerut – M’nagar) I come back a lot dejected. Sad but true. There is a vast difference between what we discuss here, want to do and should be done as against what is actually happening on ground. A race seems to be ON and I don’t know for what.

Coming back to the topic proper: Gender Equality & Education. Very early in life I had expected that ‘Education’ should be able to eradicate social evils from the society. However, that has not happened. Situation is becoming graver by the day and one thing education has not impacted is ‘Gender Equality’. A girl child is seen with the same disdain as centuries ago. There can be exceptions but then exceptions only prove the rule. Why? Because in our search for solutions we forget the basics and till we address the basic issues we would still be far away from remedy. It is like the HR ‘Gurus’ who come out with a management theory every fall and yet the basics of management are never practiced.

We had discussed the JAT mindset in another thread. The discussions were inconclusive, as in most other cases. We have to change our mindset and that would take an effort. It is difficult to do so in a lifetime. What then is the solution? In my humble view, start from yourself. A girl child would be automatically educated, emancipated and empowered should each one of us treats her like a son and gives her equal opportunities. In some societies gender equality is equated with ‘speaking English’, ‘wearing Jeans’ and ‘the mobile culture’. Though the most cultured people I have met in my life are the tribal people of Sikkim, Arunanchal Pradesh & Nilgiris. That is another story.

Government and NGOs can do nothing as long as we as individuals don’t do THE RIGHT THING irrespective of what OTHERS SAY. I have nothing against NGOs but I won’t trust my hard-earned penny to them. Instead I would give it directly to the needy. How does one located in a foreign land contribute? Simply by joining the honest effort of people like Mr Ram Arya Ji, Jagbir Ji and others who are making an effort to change the lives of children at grass root level. Sponsor a few children for a year, to start with, and then see the difference. Make a visit to these institutions, show dreams to the children, be amongst them and make them feel wanted.

The idea of IDEAL VILLAGE was tried a long time back. Those of you who were reading The Hindustan Times in the 70s would remember that they had adopted a village, CHHATERA (Chhatera – Majra) and a weekly article was published in the paper. I have a very close friend from that village, Sumit Kumar, now Secretary Haryana Vidhan Sabha. I don’t know the present condition of the village but I fear it is no different from any other village in that area. Why an Ideal Village in the first place? Please make your home an ideal home and there you have an ideal village without any extra effort.

I recently attended a marriage where surprisingly I met a JATLAND member. The tribe is growing. Though my appetite was spoiled by the talk of exchange of gifts between the families of the groom and bride. “Itne tola sona chadhaya bahu ke” etc. But in that marriage reception I met a number of villagers from my village. Of course they couldn’t recognise me and nor could I. But after talking to them for a few minutes my belief was reinforced yet again and I believe that we have abandoned them to their fate. Something needs to be done and quickly.

Ultra sound clinic close karne se kya hoga? Ye refugee mobile clinic chala deinge, phir kya karoge? Prohibition ke time mein Haryana mein the female folks were fed up. Earlier the man of the house used to come drunk in the night and may be contribute to household chores in day time but during prohibition he started undertaking weekly ‘drinking safari’ in either UP or Rajasthan. Or jisne roj ke karod banaye prohibition ke naam pe vo bhai bhawman ne pyara ho liya hai.

No CM or MP can help. At the most they can facilitate. God helps those who help themselves.

Keep discussing and we would reach our individuals conclusions to help our community in a manner deemed fit.

Dear friends,
It is good to discuss this topic and all participants are sincere in their desire to do some thing about it. What that some thing is not clear yet. Fauji has rightly said you can make all the laws but who is going to implement them. The moment we begin relying on others we start losing interest ourselves which is natural.
Some friends seem to think that politicians will make the policies to solve the problem. I have strong doubts about any politician being interested in solving social problems. Let us not forget politics is a very competitive and cut throat business where first and foremost is the survival of self and party. Every thing else is secondary.
On the other hand society can and will change with time. Female Members like Sujata and Priti have a greater role to play than any politician who is more interested in votes than public welfare. Objective here is not to put down any politician (As Raj suggested current leadership may be genuine but beware because there is a conflict of interest here)
Empowerment of girls and change in attitude of the society are the key areas one has to concentrate on. Lead by example and bring awareness that girls are assets and not a liability. To make that happen girls have to really become asset. Elimination of Dowry in any form will be a good start from girl's parents. Instead of saying I will not take dowry for my son start saying I will not give dowry for my daughter or take it for my son. Dowry giving is worse than dowry taking. In to-day's knowledge based society girls are quite capable of taking care of themselves and we all have to show confidence in their capability.
 
Quality means different things to different people. Our demand for quality means nothing unless the providers of that particular service also understand it. We may define any quality standards; we will never get them unless the providers are tuned to our requirements. Take a simple example of toilets at our airports or for that matter in any government buildings. Hope you all know who maintain our toilets? The very people who have no access to toilets in their homes and who go and defecate mostly in open. So these people try to provide us the quality of service which they think is best. However this quality is nowhere near to what we expect. Same is true for our education. Quality is being demanded by a section of people who are exposed to very high standards of education and services are provided by people, most of whom rarely excelled in education. Issue is not just of girl child education, but also of entire rural primary, secondary and higher education. Quality of education is not an issue, which is being debated just over Jatland. There are very serious debates going on in every country. This is what Government of India and US has to say, as of today;

1. http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_1555968,0008.htm
2. http://informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=174401570

I have been writing to every possible concerned person in Indian government for last two years that we need to focus of science and mathematics education in Rural schools as its from where our future scientists will come. Cities will produce only business and commerce graduates. We cannot limit our efforts just for girl child, as boy's education quality is no better. We have to move on all fronts on war footing. Defining quality education in papers is not going to provide quality education. The providers of education have to be sensitive and competent enough to understand the quality being expected. Debates like what we are conducting on Jatland, have to move to schools and in public domain. This will require continuous follow up and action plan. So let us make teams of committed people who understand quality and can teach and motivate the providers of quality education. Our schools have to be brought into competition with the global education.

Bang on target Jagmohan sir. The condition of our villages [mindset of people included] has really become pathetic. As said by you....if something is not done at the earliest.....The chances of our people becoming miserable are quite high. As you brought out that every time you visit those places...you find things gone bad to worst and that it is difficult to understand as to what those people want? Frankly they themselves are not aware as to what they want? They are confused and stranded. Jobs are very few, children don't take interest in their studies and land holdings are shrinking. This has compounded the problem further. Sadhan hein nahin, paissa kamane ka jariya nahin, jindaggi mein chenn nahin aur ghar-2 mei laddaiyan. Sorry state of affairs indeed. Then problem is compounded by the migeration of educated people from villages [they don't come back] in search of greener pastures and once they start doing well in life...they dont want their present and future of their children to be ruined by remaining associated with village life [barring a flying visit to parents in a few years time....cant blame them at all] and hence those people are left to fend for themselves like a frog in the well.




Magnitude of the problem is huge and efforts needed are herculian. Singular inputs might light a candle here and there but to bring things on track an immidiate mass movement by many of us in complete rural belts is the answer but then how many of us can get associated in this mass movement when our responsibilities towards our children has not finished[charity begins at home] and many of our dynamic young people who have to find a foothold themselves. We have to get connected at many levels and it has to be a relentless pursuit. Mindset of our people and their negative attitude[in the villages specially] is another cause of concern.if you land up with ideas amongst them and give your heart out...they are sure to say.....bhai tere kese humnne bohot dekh liye...ittne bawle na saan. They don't trust people with noble ideas. hence we have to address so many issues before we undertake any journey in Jatland.......Also a strong financial backing will be of paramount importance. Sujata jiji aur Priti batao America baithh ke ke kar skkein sein [except offering moral support and may be a little bit of money whatever they can save for the charity] inspite of their strong bond and concerns. I will take this plunge sooner or later for sure. My best wishes are with you all. Boond-2 se saagar bante hein.

Col. Chacha:

Great to hear that you are heading back home and playing a role
in our communities.

It is true what you say about the feeling of dejection. Just
yesterday a friend of mine came back from India, and everytime that
happens we get a healthy dose of reality...which, of course, doesn't
last too long. The running joke amongst us is that whenever India beckons
and nostalgia sets in take a 2-week trip back home, and that should take
care of it.

One of the comments that my friend made which struck me was that any
Jats who amount to anything are leaving the villages and leaving behind the
good-for-nothings. He was sort of implying that the other communities
will see greater presence and influence in the villages. I don't
know how valid that is but still the comment was striking.

But I guess some of the dejection is the reason why some of us spend
our time and energy discussing it. And hopefully
these discussions spur us to play a role in whatever way we can. Even if
this means starting at "home" and never going beyond that. Sometimes,
I feel that in itself is a major accomplishment in tha face of old
die-hard views in our own families.

I don't know how others feels but I do feel that slow and gradual
change is taking place...in education and gender issues. Maybe I
get that impression because I see more and more urban Jats and I see the
girls in these families being better educated, more assertive, and
seeking a productive life. Perhaps I am seeing the proverbial glass
half-full.

While I also feel that changing lives of some children is a worthy effort
and is one way for us to do our part, there are times I wonder if that is
indeed the most effective way. Could it be that all we are doing is focussing
on a few select children who end up being successful and then move on
to their own successful and materialistic lives and indeed (gasp!) foreign
lands with nary a though for those they leave behind.

It was interesting that you mentioned Village Chhatera. It is my grandmother's
village. And my dad had spent considerable time there. If I remember
correctly he might even have studied there. So I gave my dad a call to
ask him if he knew anything about that. He had very positive comments
to say about that original effort in the 70s. He said it resulted in a lot
of good things...infrastructure improvements, primary schools and so on.
I asked him if the good things lasted. He said that is hard to make
a comment. The village is near Delhi so it might be better off anyways.

I can't comment on what exactly the idea was and how exactly the "model"
village concept was implemented, but a lot would really depend
on that. I was doing some browsing on the web and read
about some model village efforts by UN agencies and saw some very
positive things to read about them.

But, no matter what, I would agree that the key measure of success has to
be that, after the focus shifts from the "model village", is the village
still able to continue with the measures that were implemented. It is
well and good that nice things happen when there is special
focus on the village (as by Hindustan Times in 70s), but key question
is what happens when that focus moves on. Anything
that is implemented has to be sustainable. And that is my key interest
in this whole thread. I wanted to see if something can
be suggested that can be sustainable when the single minded
focus on "Harya" is no longer there (perhaps more on that in a later
post).

It would be interesting to know if anyone has any more information
on the Chhatera effort.


I think the key comment in your post was:

No CM or MP can help. At the most they can facilitate. God helps those
who help themselves.

This is exactly what I am trying to drive towards.

Folks:

Pardon the long delay in posting here. I don't really have any
excuse except the standard "been busy". My motive here was to
facilitate a discussion and I did want to see
more opinions but these seemed to have dried up.

In general I'll say that some of our more experienced members
have been somewhat cold to the whole idea (here and in a few
private messages), and I suppose it would be prudent to take into
account their scepticism. It has the stamping of past experiences
and bears that baggage. But at the same time we need to continue
thinking anew and continue finding our way around the politicians
...errr...I meant potholes.

We continue to be disheartened with our politicians. If fact I too
was dismayed to hear a few unflattering things about CM Hooda, that
unfortunately, seemed credible. But when it comes to politicians I am
always an optimist. After all, all said and done, how many exactly are there ?
Perhaps less than a 1000 or so in a position of power ! Add up all the
bureacrats, and it still isn't a whole lot. Can't be that difficult to handle
them, would it ?

But what drives my pessimism are the common people who are the end
beneficiaries. Until they themselves can't demand and drive, no one
else is really going to do it for them. If the village parents can't
be brought to seek the quality from their schools, who else is really
going to be bothered ? Some would argue that villagers don't have the
knowledge and understanding for this. Though I can argue for that
to be not true, I would rather say that I don't see much from our
urban citizens either. Everyone seems busy finding their way around
the roadblocks, rather than be concerned about removing those obstacles.

I alluded to my desire to seek solutions where the end beneficiaries
(village parents and children) get to play a key role. While we ended
up with a bunch of ideas regarding what a good education is, I didn't
see any post that sought to address how to actually get the villagers
to demand it. And that I think needed to be the key. We have all heard
of the "Give a man a fish and you feed him once, teach him to fish
and feed him for a lifetime". I think that is the only way to make
a lasting contribution.

If any long term social change is sought, then the end beneficiaries
have to "learn to fish".

On a more practical and real note, I was discussing this with a friend.
I was hoping to get a more detailed note from him describing his
personal experiences in the village, but he hasn't done that so I'll
just summarise those instead.

This friend had sought to get the villagers (in his village) involved
with ensuring that
teachers come to school and teach, i.e. just do what they are paid for.
Nothing fancy here. Just try to ensure that the teachers are doing their
job, no matter how shabbily.

For the first couple of times there was some action. Teachers were
pulled up and made to attend and teach the class. But as you can
imagine this proactive participation on behalf of the sarpanch
and some parents lasted for a while. But very soon it ended up with
the "Bhai aaj nahi ja saka check karne.". The regular "yeh hua", "woh hua".
So that pretty much ended the experiment right there. Something that seemed promising but didn't last since the end beneficiaries themselves weren't bothered.

And that I think will always be the bottom line. Jiska fayaada ho woh khud
kucch na karen toh kaun kya kar sakta hai.

And that of course is easy for us to say. So many of us are in foreign lands
because rather than changing anything we sought escape. Otherwise who
really wants to be in firangi lands when our hearts are back home.
And to that I don't have much of an answer.

As for this thread, unless we have real workable solutions where
the end beneficiaries will play the key role, the thread is dry.

Model school in each district.....

Came across this in the tribune....It mentions setting up of a "model"
school in each district.



Hooda stresses on quality education
Our Correspondent

Rewari, March 7
The Haryana chief minister, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, inaugurated the building of the District Education and Training Institute (DIET) at Hussainpur village, near here, yesterday. The building has been constructed by HUDA at a cost of Rs 1.3 crore.

The chief minister said that while a 50 per cent hike had been made in the budgetary allocation for education, the government was also going to set up a model school in each district of the state.

He said owing to lack of quality education here about 1.5 lakh qualified youth had been commuting from Delhi to Gurgaon to do jobs, while “our own youths are almost languishing in idleness”. Emphasising the urgency of reversing this trend, he said only a big change in the quality of education could enable the youth to compete with their Delhi counterparts.

The Education minister, Mr Phool Chand Mulana, also spoke.

Later Mr Hooda laid the foundation stone of Rs 3.52-crore canal-based water supply scheme for Bawal town at Khera Murar village, near Bawal.

Addressing a large gathering on the occasion, he mentioned about the Rs 260-crore Bhakra main line Hansi-Butana branch link canal, asserting that after its completion nobody would be able to prevent south Haryana from getting its legitimate share of the available canal.

He disclosed that while a water supply scheme worth Rs 23 crore had been sanctioned for rural areas of the district, an allocation of Rs 18 crore had also been made for augmentation of drinking water supply in Rewari town.

The chief minister also inaugurated an e-Disha centre at the district secretariat here. The centre comprising 10 service counters would provide effective and speedy services to the farmers and the general public at large.
 
Another article on Model School....From Tribune

4 districts to have model schools
Tribune News Service

Hisar, September 6
With a view to providing quality education in government schools in the state, the Haryana Government has decided to upgrade one government senior secondary school in each district to the level of model school.

In the initial phase, model schools are being set up in Sirsa, Mahendragarh, Panipat and Ambala districts. This was stated by the Deputy Commissioner, Mr V.Umashankar, in an official press statement issued here today.

He said the standard of these model schools would be comparable to the best English-medium public schools, adding that teachers having a good command over the English language would be appointed for these schools.

The Deputy Commissioner disclosed that the local Government Senior Secondary School had been selected for the purpose.

A proposal for grant of Rs 50 lakh had been sent to the authorities concerned for the upgrading of laboratories, purchase of more books and other infrastructure development.
 
Hi Folks

Just to keep this important discussion going, there was an a point in this thread and reiterated by our PM in a recent speech about females offsprings having equal rights in family wealth.

As we have quite a number of jat bhais on this website, how many of you have or would willingly advocate and share paternal property with your sisters who have equal legal right??

really looking forward to what this brings up :D
