Ayodhya is a divine land which is
enriched with the faith of two religions,
both of which have been the
cornerstone of human civilization. It
represents the cradle of human history
and its timeless struggles and
triumphs. I was thinking what this holy
land, would be known for, in the
future India?I visualize the holy landof Ayodhya to emerge as anunblemished symbol of humanity?squest for service and beacon of thenation?s spirit of harmonious integrityby the year 2020. I envisage Ayodhyato be the founding place for a state-of-the-art center of multidimensionalhealing center and a place whichalleviates the pain of all forms ?physical, mental and spiritual. Itshould have four essential features.First, it should develop as a low-costhealthcare center for all age groupswhich acts as the home for the besthealth services especially for the poorand elderly of the nation. It shouldoperate on the patterns alreadyexisting in India like those where 70%patients are treated free. It should bea place where hundreds of doctorsare dedicated to give vision to a million

visually impaired every year, wheremulti-dimensional experts give mobilityto handicapped and give hope to thosein abject despair. It should be a centerwhere the Modern medicine findsconfluence with the traditional medicalsystems of ayurveda, yunani, siddha,naturopathy and yoga to heal the bodyand deliver compassionate healthcareto the needy. Second, it should emergeas a center of excellence for highestquality research which generatestechnological solutions to nationalhealth problem which afflict the masses.Even as we graduate as the 4th largesteconomy (PPP) in the world, we stillsee a time where every second childborn in the nation is malnourished and53 out every 1000 live infants do notlive to their first birthday. Similarly,almost half of the worldwide
4August-2015 Super Student Monthly
tuberculosis patients are Indians, andanemic levels in Indian women areamongst the highest in the world,exceeding 60% in some states.Availability of clean water andnutritious food still remains to be theforemost enemies in the lives of themillions. Humanity Healing Centershould focus on how such starkrealities, which are amongst the mostprominent national concerns, can beaddressed in an effective, pervasiveand cost efficient manner especiallyto reach the remote rural sectors ofthe nation where 700 million peoplelive. It should be a center which, incollaboration with internationalagencies, researches low costpreventive vaccine development fordiseases which have plagued
humanity for ages.Third, the
“Humanity Healing Center”
would accentuate the amalgamation
of the physical healing and spiritual
healing. It should emerge a multi-
religious spiritual platform, with lush
greenery vibrant with colorful life of
flowers and birds synchronizes with
best healing for soul and treats the
spirit. With its proximity to multiple
rich religions, the Healing Center
would derive the best out of all faiths,
and use it as a therapy to treat the
ailing souls. It would thus be a place
of spiritual learning where humans
would find proximity with the divinity
and the conscience of the human soul
shall awaken. The fourth pillar of the
Humanity Healing Center would
be based on the foundation of
imparting value based knowledge to
all from around the world. It would
be a crucible for confluence of diverse
faith which would facilitate the youth
to imbibe and adhere to values which
the nation would be proud of. The
question is, can the religions converge
at Ayodhya, and lead to the creation
of society which is healed free from
corruption and moral turpitude?
Humanity Healing Center would be
a place where the best moral
education syllabus would be research
across the spectrum of multiple
religions, and the most efficient
methodology to deliver it to the youth
be put to practice. Who will create
such a center? I propose the center
to be jointly created, owned and
operated in the Public Private
Community Partnership (PPCP)
mode with Government, all parties,
organizations, join together with
August-2015 5 Super Student Monthly
professionals from different fields,
retired servicemen and scholars
from all communities and all the
other stakeholders. The
government and private sector may
also support the development of the
center which would be a symbol of
healing to humanity regardless of
their color, religion, caste, gender
or nationality. Thus, we see
Ayodhya, in another decade to be
the world?s renowned place for
evolution of the enlightened
citizenship. A place of healing
where value based education is
imparted, a place where multiple
religions converge along their
shared spirituality and where ideas
are unbounded by the shackles of
the division and where creativity is
unleashed for the national
transformation. The unity of people
is very important, because inimical
forces are working against our
economic growth, social peace and
prosperity, while we are
progressing towards knowledge
society.The transformed Ayodhya
will have a significant impact on the
future of the nation and its one
billion people. Today, it stands a
defining moment , wi th
consequences which will have far
reaching effects. It is our great
opportunity today to shape our
present action, based on our
aspirations of the future rather than
let it be governed by the baggage
of hostility from the past. Our
future generation will revere us for
such an action which will help
humanity and not the actions which
destroy harmony and peace. It is
now the golden opportunity of this
generation, to be remembered as
harbingers of lasting fraternity and
enlightened nation rather than
generators of thousand year
conflicts. This autumn, the
resolution to create the Humanity?s
Healing Center at Ayodhya would
be a colossal step to shed the
leaves of past, and create a future
which all communities and above
all, humanity and nation shall
cherish and be inspired.The people
of the nation, the Parliament and
the State Assembly may discuss
and debate this suggestion and
how Ayodhya?s Humanity?s
Healing Center may be evolved.

F T I I s t u d e n t s c o n d e m n
a s s e s s m e n t d u r i n g s t r i k e
FTII students who are on strike, on Monday condemned the facility’s
administrative officials for its “irrational” decision of assessing
incomplete diploma films. The students find it a “political” rather than
“academic” activity.
The strike reached Day 60 on Monday in protest of the appointment of
actor and BJP member Gajendra Chauhan as chairman of the Film and
Television Institute of India (FTII).
The institute has issued notice to some of its students for over-staying in
FTII hostels in spite of the completion of their courses.
According to a statement issued by the FTII students’ body, the institute’s
director Prashant Pathrabe mentioned that there are 50 students in the 2008
batch whose final diplomas are at different stages. Still, the administration
wanted to proceed with the assessment on as-is-where-is basis and the
students would be asked to vacate the hostel once the assessment is done.
But this, Ranjit Nair, a core committee member of the strike, says is
“irrational”. Stressing that this is not an “academic, but a political activity”,
Nair told IANS over phone from Pune: “What they are trying do is to reduce
the number of students as much as they can so that they can reduce the
strength of the strike ... on as many grounds they can.”
He says the backlog that has happened is not because of the students.
“This has been acknowledged in various academic council meetings of the
2008 batch ... on what basis is the director, through the ministry, doing ad-
hoc assessment where even external experts were not called. On what basis
will they assess then,” Nair added.
15August-2015 Super Student Monthly
He also said that since students work in a team on a film, what the FTII
director is instructing is that “when an editor’s job is done, he is being forced
to leave when the project is actually in sound ... whereas what generally
happens is editor and sound go together”.
IIMB considers digital courses for masses
An elite institution like the Indian Institute of Management
(IIM), which pioneered in making online management courses
available internationally to a broader spectrum of students, can
leverage this experience to help develop the massive skilled
workforce required for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make
in India” programme, according to IIM-Bangalore Director
Sushil Vachani.
More than 40,000 students from 180 countries have registered for the
four specialised digital education programmes known as Massive Open
Online Courses (MOOCs) developed by IIMB that are featured on
edX, a platform developed by Harvard University and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Vachani said here. Seven
more MOOCs are to be added in the coming months in the programme
called IIMBx.
MOOCs harness the Internet to present academic courses using the
best teachers from top institutions to reach a mass audience of students
at very little cost thus making the best education affordable.
While the IIMBx MOOCs programme caters to the specialised higher
end in education, he said the same techniques can be extended to meet
the needs of India’s economic development by the IIMB partnering
with other universities that have a wider reach.
Super Student Monthly16August-2015
“What we want to do is use our capability of using technology to have
massive social impact,” Vachani told IANS in an interview here. The IIMB,
which he called a “national asset”, has been very successful in its mission,
so now “we have to give back to society”.
“For the ‘Make in India’ programme you need to have large numbers of
workers whose skill level has to be raised,” he said. Improving the skill
levels of an enormous mass of people would be very expensive and difficult
and the institutions that have to undertake the task lack adequate faculty or
expertise, he added.
Where the IIMB would come in, he said, would be to create MOOCs that
are made available to lots of colleges and universities to reach the large
numbers of people who have to upgrade their skills. And teachers can also
be trained to create other such programmes, he said. “These have to be
targeted courses developed for different industries by people who are
experts in those areas,” he said.
While launching the Skills India Mission last month, Modi said that 40
million to 50 million more youth would have to develop their skills in the
coming decade to enable India to reach his vision of the nation becoming
the world’s human resource capital. For this, Modi added, the industrial
training institutes (ITIs) had the vital role.
The other massive area of the Indian economy where IIMB can have animpact is micro-enterprise, he said. There are millions of people whobasically are entrepreneurs out of because they have no choice but to beentrepreneurs and run little business like kirana (grocery) shops, villagefoundries and handicraft operations, he said.
Their economic performance can be greatly enhanced by improving theirbusiness skills through MOOCs, he said. Like any enterprise, “they also
17August-2015 Super Student Monthly
use business principles”, he said. “They have to deal with inventory, andcash flow and marketing and sales.”
“Now we couldn’t teach them the way we do in our normal classroomswhere we do case studies about big companies and so on,” Vachani said.“But somebody could create programmes that could help microenterprisesunderstand their business better, be more efficacious and that’s were wecan help.”
“We would like to think about creating courses for micro-enterprises,micro-entrepreneurs and provide training for them partly using MOOCsand partly using association with large universities, large technicaluniversities which have hundreds of thousands of students as partners,” headded.
Given India’s limited Internet reach, some of the courses would have todeveloped to work on smart phones, he said.
As for the IIMB’s core mission, “we will, of course, continue to educate
MBAs who will go and join the top companies in the world,” Vachani
said. “We are very good at that. But there is no reason why the same
institution cannot use its expertise in management to create special courses
for the microenterprises.”
The first MOOC from IIMB,” Statistics for Business I”, started on edX
on July 7. It is being followed by courses in innovation, information
technology management and operations management.
Vachani said that students can take these MOOCs as well as others from
institutions like the MIT and Harvard University to develop their skills.
Ultimately, he said, it may be possible to combine courses from these
universities to create packages for specific needs.

Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar will on Monday
launch the School Nursery Yojana that aims to bring students closer
to nature by involving them in raising saplings in nurseries created in

“The scheme will involve students from Class 6 to Class 9 in nursery
activities and thus create an everlasting bond with plants and trees,” the

use of students and schools.”
Naming, shaming student
borrowers a human rights
violation: NHRC
Terming the bankers practice of “naming and shaming” of students
who defaulted on repaying education loans as violation of human
rights, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued
notice to the Central Bank of India chairman.
It has also issued notices to the district magistrate and superintendent of
police of Nilgiris district in Tamil Nadu and the manager of Central Bank of
India’s Majoor Branch, Nilgiris.
19August-2015 Super Student Monthly
In a statement, the NHRC said it has taken cognizance of a complaint
alleging harassment by Central Bank of India by a education loan-taker and
her family as the bank had displayed the photographs of the girl student and
her father as “missing” and “defaulter”.
It is alleged that the student borrower’s father died due to shock after
receiving threatening telephone calls from the bank despite paying off half of
the loan amount in the first month after the moratorium period.
According to the NHRC statement, panel member Justice D.Murugesan has
observed that enforcing the practice of “name and shame rules” in
educational loans would certainly amount to serious violation of human rights.
“Publishing photographs of parents and students (defaulters) have the
potential of exposing the students to irreparable loss, injury and prejudice,”
the statement said.
“Apparently, the bank appears to have believed that shaming the defaulters
would pressurize the families to repay outstanding educational loans. Such
display of photographs of defaulters of educations loan (who normally come
from poor families and particularly rural areas) would certainly amount to
loss of their dignity apart from violation of their human rights,” the apex rights
panel said.

Annual scholarships for five
Indian students
The government will provide annual scholarships to five Indian
students for doctoral research in science, engineering and
mathematics to create a “critical mass of performing scientists”, the
Lok Sabha was informed on Wednesday.
The Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) has signed a
memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Carnegie Mellon University
(CMU) to support five Indian students every year for doctoral research in
science, engineering and mathematics at CMU, Minister of State for
Science and Technology, Y.S. Chowdary, said in a written reply.
“The SERB proposed to spend USD 2.4 million while CMU will spend at
least USD 5 million on Indian students who will be selected from 2016-17
to 2020-21,” Chowdary said.
“This overseas doctoral fellowship programme is aimed to build national
capacity where the talent supply of researchers in the areas of interest to the
country is sub-critical,” he added.
According to Chowdary, the programme will in the long run create a critical
mass of performing scientists in niche areas to strengthen national
programmes of interest to the country.

Dilip Chenoy, the managing director and chief executive officer, NSDC,
said, “To link skill training to meaningful and fulfilling careers, we are also
helping them in placements through Sector Skill Councils and Training
Partners who will be participating in the implementation of the programme.”
The NSDC will ensure 70 percent placement of students post training.
Up to eight sectors will be made available initially for the participating
colleges/institutions to choose from.

review the existing skill development programmes in the colleges/institutions
with the NSDC.
These will consider introducing new sectors and courses as per the demand
of the industry and the willingness of the participating institutions.
The fee of the courses will be mutually decided by each university and the
NSDC in consultation with NSDC approved training partners and NSDC
approved Sector Skill Councils, according to the statement.
18th IIT opens at Palakkad
The 18th Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) opened here on

School for tourism, strategicsecurity soon: Goa CM
The Goa government is in the process of starting a Global School of
Tourism and School of Strategic and Security Studies in association
with the Goa University, chief minister Laxmikant Parsekar told the
state assembly on Monday.
Parsekar said starting both the schools would cost Rs.32.42 crore, which
will offer post graduate courses and academic research in areas related to
tourism, strategic and security studies.
“The Goa University was requested to submit a detailed proposal. The
university sought time for the same and has now submitted the proposals,”
Parsekar said.
Goa is one of the top beach tourism destinations in the country and attracts
nearly three million tourists annually.
Parsekar said instituting the two schools would incur a one-time expenditure
of Rs.18.80 crore for the buildings and 13.62 crore in five years for salaries
of teaching and administration staff.

BITS Pilani appoints V. Sambasiva
Rao as the acting Vice Chancellor
BITS Pilani announced the joining of V. Sambasiva Rao as the acting
Vice Chancellor of Pilani campus on Friday
26August-2015 Super Student Monthly
He took charge from Bijendra Nath Jain, who completed his 5 years tenure
as the Vice Chancellor of BITS Pilani.
A farewell function was organized for Jain to pay a tribute to his contribution
in nurturing this premier engineering institute.
Jain had made deep, prolific and sustained contributions to teaching and
research at BITS Pilani after accepting the role of the Vice Chancellor in
2010. He brought with him a new outlook to transform BITS from primarily
a reputed teaching institute to one which focuses on both teaching and
research.
His administration acumen has been showcased through the multi campus
structure he provided for the smooth functioning of the University. His data
analytic and statistical comprehension abilities stood out during policy
matters like architecting the growth plan, formalizing admissions at BITS,
streamlining WILP operations and assessing Departmental contributions.
Most important and not so tangible is that he created an atmosphere where
faculty can voice their opinion and be heard.
Addressing the audience during his farewell, Bijendra Nath Jain stressed
upon the fact that change takes time and cooperation of team members
helps a great deal in the growth of an institute.
He further emphasized, BITS Pilani is committed to both quality and
expansion. This commitment to transparency and stress on equal
opportunity has been a key contributing factor behind its emergence as an
institute of national repute. The institutes rigorous intake process, rewards
only merit and ensures that only truly motivated students join it.
While taking up the new role, V. Sambasiva Rao said, BITS Pilani is very
much on the path of excellence with its established values. I would like to
march along with my colleagues in continuing the journey and reaching new
heights. Along with our deeper and committed industry engagement, we will
continue to lay emphasis on teaching, research, innovation and
entrepreneurship.
