Earlier, the government has also urged the parents from hiring private vans for their children claiming that these vehicles are illegal and are a threat to the safety of the children. “Female teaching or non-teaching staff should be deployed in every vehicle ferrying girl students. In case of private vehicles hired by the parents, the cab drivers’ character and antecedent verification should be provided to the school by the parents,” the guidelines issued by the Directorate of Education (DoE) said. The government also asked the schools to maintain a register about the students who come to schools in private vans and conduct meeting with the parents every six months to discuss the safety of the children in private vehicles. “There should be active participation of School Management Committees (SMCs) to persuade parents to use only legal means of transport for their school-going children and follow adequate safeguards for ferrying school students. There must be no use of illegal or over loaded vehicle for transportation of school-going children,” the guidelines read. “Accompanying teachers must have a contact number of the parents of all the students in case they are going outside the city from their schools. There must be at least one teacher for every 20 students for outside visits. The vehicle carrying girl students must have the requisite number of female staff as per the strength of the students,” the guidelines further said. source https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/delhi-government-issued-safety-guidelines-to-the-schools-for-the-students-8543 Legal action against the colleges for charging full fees from Maratha studentsThe government of Maharashtra has issued a circular in which it has directed the college not to charge the full fees from the students of Maratha community under the Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj scholarship. The move from the government is also a bid to calm down the protesters as they are demanding reservation in the government jobs under the OBC quota. The protests from the community turned violent when a member of their community jumped into the Godavari river. “The government will reimburse 50 percent fees of those students whose parents’ annual income is less than Rs 8 lakh under the scholarship scheme,” Tawde said. He also said that colleges charging the full fees will face legal action in case they fail to meet the directives of the government. Tawde also urged the students to lodge a complaint with Joint Director, Education, and nodal officers appointed for the purpose. Tawde also said that the present government has done more for the Maratha community than Congress and NCP governments in the past. A handful of Maratha families in the Congress and NCP have been controlling the power from the past 45 years and the anger of the Maratha community is against these families. source https://www.brainbuxa.com/education-news/legal-action-against-the-colleges-for-charging-full-fees-from-maratha-students-8542 JKBOSE results 2018 | Class 10th and 12th result for the Kargil division releasedClass 10th and 12th results for the Jammu and Kashmir State Board of Secondary Education (JKBOSE), Kargil Division, have been released.

As of now, two alumni have pledged to name the institute as a beneficiary in their will. “We have been requesting our alumni, particularly the ones comingfor the Golden Jubilee celebrations, to leave something in their willfor the institute. In a couple of cases, we have already got a response.Ram Matta, from the 1976 batch, said he initially thought of leavingsomething in his will for the Stanford University, but has nowdecided to contribute the amount to IIT-D. However, he hasn’tmentioned how much,” said Sanjeev Sanghi, Dean, Alumni Affairs. “Another alumnus, Ramesh Kapur from the 1968 batch, has said hewould leave one million dollars. Both of them are NRIs living in theUS. It probably works out better for them because according to theirinheritance rules, after a particular amount, if you give your moneyto your children, it’s taxed at 80 percent,” he said. Alumni also contribute to the institutes by making the donations. For example, Kapur has pledged a scholarship of INR 2.4 crores for the students who are coming from a financially challenged background. Another alumnus, Amarjeet Bakshi from the 1968 batch has given INR 1 crore to the institute and has pledged to donate the same amount by for the next 10 years. “Saurabh Mittal, based in Singapore, has pledged to give Rs 10 crore for an indoor stadium,” said Sanghi.
