Rajasthan Government has decided to introduce a chapter to raise awareness on crime against women among the students of class 10th and 12th.
The step is likely to help in addressing the issue of crime against women. The chapters will apprise students about the laws against crimes like rape and girl abuse.
With the objective of providing the easy access of education in all districts of Rajasthan, the Government has also announced to establish 25 new government colleges.
Rajasthan Government is also encouraging the Agricultural education as it will establish two new Agricultural Colleges in Kotputli, Jaipur and another in Baseri, Dholpur.
The Government College in Kishangarh Bas, Alwar will also be converted into an Agricultural College.
All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) has made it mandatory for new engineering colleges to shift to permanent campus within two years of their establishment in case they are operating from a temporary campus.
In case of not abiding by the guidelines, institutions have to reduce their approved intake by 50 percent with a two-year extension to shift to permanent campus. In case of failing for the same, institutes will be further liable for further action.
“The new technical institutions functioning in a temporary campus will have to move to their permanent campus within two years from the date of the Letter of Approval (LoA). The AICTE shall send an expert visit committee to such institutions to assess the status of readiness of the state government for operationalization of these institutions in the permanent location,” said a senior AICTE official.
“In case of the institutions not shifting to the permanent location even after two years and fulfilling the norms of approval process, the approved intake shall be reduced to 50 per cent. If an Institution has not shifted even after four years, the council shall take appropriate action,” he added.
The decision can be considered crucial as it has been announced after a decision from Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) according to which the ministry will adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards States failing to allot land for centrally funded institutes like IITs and the IIITs. In case of not doing so within stipulated time, institutions will be shifted to other cities.

Hindi’s stature as a language that connects a majority of people in India has also taken a toll. Globalization has opened up a lot of opportunities and English has come to be the most important language of the century, observes Mohit Bansal, Founder and CEO, iChamp.
Mohit Bansal, Founder and CEO, iChamp
With around half a billion native speakers, Hindi is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Even though it is quite common in North India, a large section of the population can speak it well but find it difficult to write in it. This stands true for kids as well, most children today speak in Hindi with their friends and at home but when it comes to writing in the language, it becomes surprisingly hard to pen down words and expressions. It is a pain-area for parents also, because they find it challenging to teach the language to their kids and search for Hindi tutors. A survey conducted by iChamp also showed that Hindi is a big challenge for students in metros.
Hindi-speaking masses are looked down upon owing to a rather unpopular opinion that it signifies a sense of backwardness while English gives a sense of superiority and high-class. But that shouldn’t stop us from learning a language that has historical and cultural roots in our country and helps us connect with most of them.
The following are a few reasons why children today are weaker in Hindi –
Script is different from most Western languages
The Hindi script appears similar to the Arabic style of writing and is often considered difficult because the characters are quite unique, and kids require some time and practice to master their strokes and lines unlike the English alphabet.
Grammar is tough
Many kids complain about Hindi grammar as it is confusing for them because they are learning English also. In English, they learn the format SVO (Subject+Verb+Object) while in Hindi it is SOV (Subject+Object+Verb) and the gender usage in Hindi requires extra efforts as well. One of the biggest reasons is that parents themselves have forgotten Hindi grammar and are not capable of teaching kids. This leads to kids not being very comfortable with Hindi from a very early age itself.
Reading is now limited to English
Reading in Hindi has also gone down substantially. In a typical middle class family in urban india, from newspaper to magazines, hoardings on roads, signage on top of shops – everything is in English. Kids are not exposed to hindi at all in their day to day life.
Emphasis on English
Hindi may be India’s most widely spoken language, but the language of the government and business is resolutely English. Parents often emphasize more on English as they think their kids would do better in life if they become fluent in the global language early. Another reason is that Hindi speaking people are often looked at as inferior and English has come to denote class and elitism which is why most urban parents want their kids to speak in English even at home and when communicating with them.
Hindi is not “cool” anymore, as far as the younger generation is concerned, Hinglish is considered a more viable option.
Reasons alone cannot constitute solutions so here are some tips to help improve Hindi for your kids –
Hindi grammar may not be easy to grasp at once. But you can make it fun for your child by giving Hindi worksheets for practice after school.
Multilingual children may get confused with gender usage or other conflicting grammar concepts if they don’t use the Hindi language on a regular basis. Explain the differences by answering your child’s queries with patience.
Encourage Hindi conversations and get good Hindi comics for reading and also read them bedtime stories from Hindi story books.
We should understand that in today’s time, being multilingual is more beneficial. Research has shown that learning multiple languages challenges the brain and improves cognitive and social-emotional development. This is why there is a need to emphasize and focus on other languages including Hindi for your kids.
