DOCTORS : THE REAL VICTIMS
Another day, another girl violated, there is no sign that this could be the last such case. The absence of assurance has become a cause of concern for parents across the country. The society, overtaken by wolves, has become a big stinking hell hole, indicating a failure at multiple levels with an urgent need for deterrent measures and strictest action through a speedy trial
STRIKE : NO SOLUTION
The manner in which a postgraduate trainee doctor of R.G.Kar Medical College was raped - murdered is bound to anger the doctors and other medical staff working in hospitals. The careless and insensitive attitude of the Central Government is also to blame for this sorry state of affairs and needs to be given a serious look. If they could timely enact stringent laws, strengthen the law enforcement agencies and legal system it could bring some drastic change in the mindset of the male dominated society.
GHAR - WAPSI
The MCI was abolished by the Government of India alleging corruption, irregularities and malpractices in Medical Education and replaced by National Medical Commission, whose performance in recent times has been no better.After the Apex Court's order of NO RE-NEET, the next all important question is whether NEET or the NTA is actually needed ?.
MILES TO GO
Violence against doctors were already a common occurrence, but of late rape, murder and other criminal activities have overtaken the atrocities bringing about no radical change in the security system, a demand that the medical profession has been consistently putting forward. The alleged rape and murder of a doctor in Kolkata recently is another glaring example of an inept hospital administration's inability and other security agencies in protecting our doctors on duty.
SATYAMEV JAYATE
With the NTA's alleged irregularities numbering around 21, it is in the eye of a storm vehemently trying against all odds to salvage its remaining self respect by doing everything possible in the name of the game to stop a RE- NEET from taking place and this time succeeding too as the Apex Court after exploring all evidences of paper leaks surprisingly ordered a NO RE-NEET after observing that the paper leak was restricted to Patna and Hazaribagh i.e. it was localised - a decision that did not go well with the student community and many others who felt that the Apex Court had with jaundiced eyes failed to see the right thing in the right manner.
ANXIOUS YOUTH, UNCERTAIN FUTURE AND THE JOB SCENE
If the government is seriously contemplating improving the growing fear of unemployment among the educated youth, it must create a conducive skilled atmosphere for aspirational goals and this would necessitate adopting an integrated approach to the job scene as governmental statistics alone cannot justify any tall claims made on this account.
DOWNFALL SYNDROME
The entire education system needs to be freed from the clutches of the nexus operating in the shadows of commercialization. Treating the recent happenings as a symptom of something uglier to come, all stakeholders in the education system must contribute to prevent India's reputation of being a country where merit is respected through transparent examinations from going down the drain !!!
EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT " UN EDUCATIONAL"
The recent scandals in education point to the saddest reality that we are yet to consider education as the only potent tool in our hands to elevate India as a great nation. Thanks to compromises and academic standards of a disturbed conscience which are sickeningly widespread in our society.
ENACTING STRINGENT LAWS NOT ENOUGH
Irregularities and paper leaks in competitive exams are not uncommon. It has been happening regularly in the past too, but the manner in which the NTA conducted NEET UG 2024 is a glaring example of of overconfidence and audacity that no action will be taken against them has become the talk of the town and has eroded the sanctity of the examination conducting agency, education ministry and many others, all in one go.
LONG SHADOWS OVER NEET UG 2024
Amid raging controversy over recent allegations on the integrity and irregularities in the NTA over conducting the NEET UG 2024 medical entrance examination and the unceremonious removal of the Director General NTA Subodh Kumar Singh, the tug-o- war between the NTA and others versus the demonstrating students ably supported by their parents and many other organizations seem at least for the present favoring the latter with the initiation of a CBI enquiry.
