Govt to set up body to conduct Classes V, VIII

examinationsPratibha Chauhan

Tribune News Service

Shimla, September 5

With the Centre turning down the request of the state for allowing holding of board

examinations for Classes V and VIII, the state government has decided to set up an

independent body to conduct internal exams so as to ensure accountability of

teachers and arrest the declining academic standards.

On the occasion of Teachers Day today, Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh directed the

Education Department to bring about a policy within a months time so that there

was an internal examination system which could assess the level of attainment by

total 9.87 lakh elementary students, who were evaluated by their teachers right from

Classes I to IX, till they took the first board examination.

The Centre has turned down the request of the state to revert to the old system of

the Board of School Educat ion holding Classes V and VIII examinations. The Himachal

Assembly during the recent monsoon session had adopted a resolution seeking

permission from the Centre to hold board exams for the two classes.

By doing away with the board examinations for Classes V and VI, there has been a

major decline in the academic standard, especially in the rural and far-flung areas, as

there is no system in place for assessing teachers, which is very necessary, said

Virbhadra.

He directed officials to prepare a blueprint so that an independent body could be putin place by bringing about a policy.

He asked them to review and bring in place the old system of having district

inspector of schools with teachers at the block level also being involved in inspecting

schools in other blocks. Though there has been an adequate expansion of network

of schools, there is concern over the quality of education being imparted. Therefore,

internal exams are a must, Virbhadra said.

The Centre has intimated us that under the Right to Education, board exams cannot

be held for Classes V and VIII, though internal exams can be held, but the child

cannot be detained in the class even if his performance is not satisfactory, said RD

Dhiman, Principal Secretary, Education.

Meanwhile, only those teachers having an exceptional academic and teaching record

will now be able to serve in the District Institute for Educational Training (DIET),

which trains teachers. The Chief Minister today directed the officials to prepare a

blueprint within 15 days for posting the best teachers in DIETs so that the quality of

teachers was not being compromised with. As of now, only those teachers who are

well connected manage postings in DIETs at the 12 district headquarters.

Centres nod for food subsidy scheme for APL familiesCost of ration, sugar in state PDS shops to increase

Lalit Mohan/TNS

Dharamsala, September 5

The Union Government has agreed to financially support the Food Subsidy Scheme of

the state government for the Above the Poverty Line (APL) residents of the state.

Minister for Food and Civil Supplies GS Bali said this today while talking to

mediapersons here.

Bali said there were fears that after the implementation of the Food Security Bill, the

Union Government would discontinue aid for the the Himachal Pradesh food subsidy

programme, in which all residents of the state were getting cheap ration from the

public distribution shops.

However, after the active lobbying by the Food and Civil Supplies Department of the

state, the Union Government had agreed to provide cheap food grains for the

subsidised ration scheme of the state government for all residents. In case the Union

Government had not agreed to finance the scheme, the state government would

have been forced to bear extra financial burden of about Rs 300 crore, Bali said.

However, he mentioned that despite the continuation of aid by the Union

Government, the state would have to affect nominal increase in rates of ration

provided to the APL residents.

I am not mentally ready for a hike. The matter would be taken up with the state

Cabinet, he said.

While responding to a query, Bali admitted that the cost of sugar in the publicdistribution shops of the state would increase for APL families due to decontrol of the

sugar sector by the Union Government.

At present, the people in the state are getting sugar at Rs 13.5 per kg in the PDS

shops. The rate of sugar for the Below the Poverty Line (BPL) families will remain the

same, but it will increase for the APL families, he said. However, he failed to

quantify the amount of increase that would be affected for the APL families.

Bali further said the Union Government had also sanctioned a project of the Himachal

government to construct godowns for storing ration to be provided under the Food

Security Bill under the private public partnership mode. He also said the food security

programme would be launched in the state from September 11.

Bali stated that he had taken up the case of bad condition of National Highway-20

with the Union Minister for Surface Transport.

keeping in view the hardships being faced by tax payers of this region.

An emergency meeting of the Bar Association was held here today which was also

attended by representatives of Bar Associations of adjoining districts.

The association, in a joint resolution passed unanimously, resolved that there was

complete justification of having the Commissioner's office here as there was

adequate workload. At present there was only one office of the Commissioner at

Shimla looking after the entire state.

HC seeks details on officials of doubtful integrityLegal Correspondent

Shimla, September 5

The HP High Court has directed the Chief Secretary to furnish information on officials

who have been required to be included in the lists of officers of doubtful integrity

as per norms prescribed by the government.

The court further directed him to place on record the chart disclosing the present

posting of the officials concerned and also with remark about the perception of thedepartment that the said posting was against sensitive or non-sensitive post. The

court directed him to file an affidavit in this regard by October 1 and listed the

matter for further hearing on October 3.

The court said as per norms, the name of those officials were required to be included

in the list of officers of doubtful integrity, who had been convicted in court of law or

awarded a major penalty in a department inquiry or against whom proceedings for a

major penalty in a department inquiry had been started or against whom a court trial

was in process for an alleged act of lack of integrity or moral turpitude and

prosecuted but acquitted on technical grounds and in whose case, on the basis of

evidence during the t rial, there remained a reasonable suspicion about their integrity.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice AM Khanwilkar and Justice Kuldip Singhpassed this order on a petition filed by Sher Singh, former drug controller of the

state, with the request to stay the departmental proceeding initiated against him

pending trial in the vigilance case.

Minimum wages elude teachers in pvt schoolsTribune News Service


Various schools of the district organised functions to mark Teachers Day today.

However, nobody cared to highlight the plight of teachers in most of the privateschools in the state who are even being denied minimum wages fixed for labourers.

The state government gives minimum wage of Rs 130 per day to labourers. By that

standard, every petty labourer doing any kind of work should get a minimum wage of

at least Rs 3,900 per month if employed on a monthly basis. However, a large section

of employees in private schools are being deprived of even the basic minimum wage

in the state.

Sources here said thousands of qualified teachers working in private schools ina the

state were not being given the basic minimum wage of Rs 3,900 per month. They

are being paid anything between Rs 500 and Rs 1,500 per month in violation of the

minimum wages Act, they added.


7/15



However, t e Himac a Pra es Boar o Sc oo E ucat ion HPSEB as no suc

protection for teachers working in private schools affiliated with it.The authorities in

the Himachal Board of School Education admitted that the HPSEB had not prescribed

any minimum wage to be paid to teachers working in private schools. They said the

teachers were not covered under the Minimum Wages Act. Only labourers or Class IV

employees were covered under the Act.

The failure of the government to specify minimum wages for teachers is leading to

the exploitation of educated youth. Some of them are justifying the policy of

imposing minimum wages in private schools on the plea that many small schools

running in remote areas of the state may not be able to pay the minimum wage to

teachers and will be forced to close down their operations if the government forces

them to do so.

However, legal experts said the minimum wage prescribed by the government was

applicable to any employee working in the state. It is the basic minimum wage that

any employer has to pay for hiring a person and cannot be category specific, if a

person is working full time, they said.

ANANDPUR SAHIB-NAINA DEVI ROPEWAY

Una, September 5

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has appealed to Chief Minister Virbhadra

Singh to review the decision of scrapping of the Anandpur Sahib-Naina Devi ropeway

project. He said the Anandpur Sahib Naina Devi ropeway was of great soc io-religious

importance for both the states. The Punjab government was ready to concede to

the demand of the Himachal government that the ropeway should start from

Himachal. It was also ready to bear the entire cost of the project, the Punjab Chief

Minister said.

Badal was on a visit to Una district today. He, along with Punjab Health Minister

Madan Mohan Mittal, was here to attend a religious congregation organised at RadhaKrishan Temple. The programme was organised by Una-based religious guru Bal Baba.

An agreement to construct the Anandpur Sahib-Naina Devi ropeway was signed

between the Punjab and Himachal governments during the st int of previous BJP

government in Himachal Pradesh. However, the present Congress government, after

coming to power in the state, has scrapped the agreement.

Mittal said Anandpur Sahib and Naina Devi shrines were a symbol of religious

harmony. People from across the religious faiths visited both the shrines. The

ropeway would facilitate the pilgrims coming to pay obeisance at the Naina Devi

temple and Anandpur Sahib. The project should not be mired in politics, he said.

When asked to comment about the outburst of BJP MP from Amritsar Navjot Singh

Sidhu, Badal said it was an internal matter of the BJP and it was their sole

prerogative to satisfy him. I do not have any personal problem with Sidhu and if at

all the BJP MP has any grouse, then the state BJP leadership should take care of

that, he said. When asked if he would accept Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi

as a Prime Ministerial candidate in the forthcoming parliamentary elect ions, the

Punjab Chief Minister said the SAD, being a key ally of the BJP, would support any

candidate of the party for the coveted post. He expressed confidence that the BJP-

led NDA would certainly form the next government at the Centre.

People were fed up with rampant corruption, unemployment, poverty, inflation and

starvation during the Congress rule. The UPA government has failed miserably at

arresting the declining value of Rupee, which has touched the lowest ebb several

times recently, he said.

Referring to the enactment of the Food Security Bill of the UPA government, the

Punjab Chief Minister said there was nothing new in it. The Act was the copy of the

Atta-Dal scheme of the Punjab government. By implementing this importance piece

of legislation, the Centre had realised that more than 80 per cent of people cannot

manage to get a two-square meal a day, he said. Earlier, addressing the religious

congregation, the Chief Minister exhorted the people to follow the teachings of great

gurus, saints, seers and prophets. Badal urged Baba Bal to organise such religious

programmes in Punjab also.

CM directs officials to review expansion of cement unitAmbika Sharma/TNS

Solan, September 5

The State Pollution Control Board has filed a case against unit-I of Jaypee Cement

Plant in a local court for undertaking expansion without obtaining the environmental

clearance and other approvals.

Even as the Chief Minister directed the officials to review the expansion proposal of

Jaypee Cement Plant of its unit-I at Baga village in Solan district at a meeting of the

Single Window Clearance Agency (SWCA) held yesterday, a case has been filed by

the board for violating the Environment Protection Act, Air (Prevention and Control of

Pollution) Act, 1981, and Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.

The case was registered in July following directions of the Ministry of Environment

and Forests (MoEF), which had found that the plant had enhanced its capacity of

producing clinker from 2.05 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 3.5 MTPA early this

year without the mandatory Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) clearance.

The Industries Department, which was examining the case, had, however, presented

the case before the SWCA yesterday to grant post-fac to approval. It was while

examining the case that the Chief Minister directed the officials to check the

production, capacity and other details of the plants expansion before giving it an

approval.

Though undertaking expansion without taking approval from the SWCA is a major

violation of the said norms, the Industries Department is yet to take action in the

case. It had taken the case to the SWCA for granting it an approval.

The earlier proposal of Jaypee Cement Plant to grant it approval had been rejected

by the Industries Department and they had been directed to seek environmental

clearance first and then apply for approval. Following this, the management of the

plant had applied directly to the MoEF for environmental clearance after having


9/15



state government to prosecute the plant management for having violated the

environment laws.

The development comes a year after Jaypee Associates was fined Rs 100 crore by

the high court for bypassing a similar mandatory EIA c learance on false pleas in

running its other plant located at Bagheri in Nalagarh.

It is yet to be seen what action the officials of the Industries Department take

against the unit for bypassing mandatory approvals.

Director, Industries, Mohan Chauhan said he was examining the case afterregistration of a case against the unit by the State Pollution Control Board.

Let state host international film festival: PratibhaTribune News Service

Shimla, September 5

Member of Parliament Pratibha Singh today requested Information and Broadcasting

Minister Manish Tewari to organise the 45th International Film Fest ival of India in

Himachal Pradesh.

She requested him to rotate the venue of the prestigious international-level event so

that film lovers of the region could also communicate with film professionals and

understand the emerging technologies and challenges in the field.

She assured help and assistance in organising such international events in the state

and said Shimla, Dharamsala and Manali had proper infrastructure and facilities to

host such events.

Pratibha also requested opening of a satellite campus of Satyajit Ray Film and

Television Institute in the state for cinematic studies and said free land and other

modern infrastructural facilities would be provided for it. Keeping in mind the demand

for professionals in various departments of film making opening up such a training

institute will be very beneficial for youngsters, she said.

She requested the Union Minister to put Doordarshan Kendra, Shimla, on the DTH

service, so that people living in metropolitan cities could have access to Himachali

programmes. She said it would benefit around 10 lakh Himachalis settled in

metropolitan cities and a large number of youth working in the Army and multinational

companies all over the country.

Power projects in Shahpur harming ecology: MankotiaSlams BJP leader Kamal Padha for violating norms

Tribune News Service


Vijay Singh Mankotia, Congress leader from Kangra, said today that the micro-hydel

projects in the Shahpur Assembly constituency were wreaking havoc on the ecology

of the area.

He said due to the violation of norms by micro-hydel projects, houses at Harvoh

were sinking. He specifically targeted the 5-MW Brahol Top micro-hydel project,

which is owned by Kamal Padha, BJP leader from the area, and the Raheja power

project.

He said even an inquiry conducted on the Brahol Top micro-hydel project by the

Forest Department had stated that the project authorities had violated the

permission granted to it for the construction of road and dumping of the material


10/15



generated in the process. The report had also indicted the project authorities for

illegally mining material from the local rivulet, Mankotia alleged.

He also provided a copy of the inquiry to mediapersons, alleging that no further

action had been taken against the erring power project authorities.

Mankotia said due to the violation of norms by the power projects, houses at Uni

village were also sinking. The Raheja power project in the area had not constructed

spillway to put water used in the power generation back into the Gajj rivulet. The

water being released from the power project was going into the village and

destroying the houses of poor people, he alleged.

He further said he would request Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh to order an inquiry

into the micro-hydel power projects allotted in the state during the stint of the

previous BJP government. During the rule of the BJP government, power projects

were allotted to politically influential people who did not care for the environmental

bylaws or rights of local people while undertaking construction works.

Kamal Padha, on the other hand, denied the charges levelled by Mankotia. He said

his power project had not violated any norm. He said some vested interests were

targeting the project for personal reasons. They were taking political help to achieve

their personal interests, he said.

Mankotia also alleged that besides Terah Lines village near Dharamsala, many others

had suffered damage due sinking of land. In Diara village near Dharamsala, 42 houseshad developed cracks and were unsafe for living.

Mankotia demanded that a policy be formulated to provide suitable compensation to

the people whose houses had been damaged in natural disasters.

39 parents get Rs 1,100 under Kanya ChhayaTribune News Service

Solan, September 5

As a novel step towards saving girl child and instilling sense of conserving the

environment, the Nalagarh SDM today distributed fixed deposit receipts of Rs 1,100

each to 39 parents of girl child and planted saplings in their name at Baddi. This

initiative has been named Kanya Chhaya.

The SDM had earlier initiated the campaign from Nalagarh last week and voluntary

donations from industrial units, social and educational institutions will help take the


11/15



scheme forward where girls belonging to economically weaker sections of society will

be provided funds for their education.

Talking to The Tribune, Yunus Khan, SDM, said the municipal committees and

panchayats would take care of saplings planted in the name of the girls.

With the Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh industrial area facing an immense pollution

threat, the effort would help make a small difference in making the environs green,

he said. This will also help in instilling a sense of value for the girl child, the SDM

said. Madan Chawdhary, president, Baddi Municipal Committee, was also present on

the occasion.

Govt reins in private varsitiesFixes quantum of penalty for late fee charges

Rakesh Lohumi/TNS

Shimla, September 5

Taking a serious note of the arbitrary manner in which private universities have been

imposing fines on students for delay in the payment of fee and other charges, the

government has specified the quantum of penalty for late fee charges.

Some universities had been extorting additional amounts from students by imposing

exorbitantly high penalties in the name of late fee charges. Further, there was no

transparency or uniformity and the penalty ranged from Rs 100 to Rs 5,000. The

State Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Commission had received several

complaints from students in this regard and it had not only taken action against the

institutions concerned but also forced them to refund the excess amount to

students.

The commission also brought the matter to the notice of the government and it had

on the recommendation of the Fee Structure Committee fixed the quantum of f ine.

As the fee for various courses varies from Rs 30,000 to Rs 60,000 per semester, for

most of the courses the maximum fine will range from Rs 300 to Rs 600. Late fee

charges up to a period of 15 days from the due date will be 0.5 per cent of the total

due charges and, thereafter, maximum penalty of one per cent up to one month orthe total delay will be applicable.

The official notification in this regard said in addition to tuition fee, mess, security

charges and institutional development fund, private universities were charging

additional amount from students in the name of late fee charges in respect to

examination fee, mess charges, tuition, revaluation fee, re-test, migration and

penalties were being imposed in a variable manner. The penalty specified by it would

bring uniformity and restrain universities from imposing charges arbitrarily.

The commission had last month ordered one of the universities to refund Rs 1.67 lakh

charged arbitrarily from students. It agreed to refund the amount to those who had

left the institution and adjusted it against the fee and other charges to be paid in

future by the existing students.

The commission after carrying out inspections of the universities allowed four of the

16 universities, which fulfilled the norms prescribed by the University Grants

Commission (UGC), to conduct PhD courses. These include the Jaypee University of

Information and Technology, Shoolini University, Bahra University and Eternal

University. Only those faculty members who have the requisite qualification and

experience of research guide will be allowed to enrol students for PhD.

The commission was forced to step in after some private universities enrolled a large

number of students for PhD without any faculty and in violation of UGC norms.

Contract college teachers stage protestTribune News Service

Shimla, September 5

As a mark of protest against exploitation, more than 500 assistant professors

working in various degree colleges on a contract basis in the state today wore black

badges by observing Shok Diwas on the occasion of Shikshak Diwas.

Teachers who were appointed on a contract basis through the HP Public Service

Commission in 2009-10 said they had been compelled to protest as despite beingqualified, they were appointed on a contract basis. The protests were held in various

colleges all over the state.

The assoc iation demanded that the Recruitment and Promotion Rules be scrapped

immediately and all the assistant professors on contract be regularised within three

years of service.

President of the association Harsh Vardhan Singh said it was a silent and polite

expression of anxiety, grief and despair as the highly qualified assistant professors

faced an uncertain future. He added that most of them were above 40 years of age

after having already devoted their finest years in pursuit of academic excellence.

He said an advertisement of 793 posts of college cadre lecturer on a regular basis in

2007 had raised the hopes of an entire generation which were dashed when the new

government scrapped them and re-advertised 634 posts on contract. Since then

more than 500 candidates who had been recruited through the HP Public Service

Commission had languished on a contract policy, he said.

closed by the previous government to provide education facility to people living if

far-flung areas at their doorsteps.

level and added that promoting to next class on the basis of assessment could prove

harmful to students in the long run and would affect the academic standards.

for both the students and the teachers. The government was rationalising the

deployment of staff to fill vacant posts of teachers in far-flung areas, he added.

growers.

The apple prices are at their lowest and freight has been enhanced by 15 per cent.

The cost of carton has also been hiked and the grower is not getting a good price

for his fruit, lamented Bragta.

He said in such a scenario, the growers were feeling let down, as neither the local

MLA nor officials had come to their rescue.

He said despite a bumper crop of apple in 2010, the BJP government had handled the

situation well and the growers did not face any problem. The Centre, rather thanenhancing the import duty on apple from 50 per cent to 150 per cent as promised by

the state Congress in its election manifesto, has reduced it to zero, thus flooding the

market with imported apple, he said.

On the one hand, people were burdened by price rise and now with the apple

economy being threatened due to various factors, the apple growers were facing

great inconvenience, he added.

Cong brushing martyrs off, says DhumalDharam Prakash GuptaTribune News Service

Hamirpur, September 5

Former Chief Minister PK Dhumal said today the UPA government was not paying due

regards to martyrs of the country, and ministers were belittling their martyrdom by

making illogical statements.

Addressing a state-level meeting of the ex-servicemen cell of the BJP here today,

Dhumal said, The present government is taking divergent stand on the incursions

and killing of our soldiers on the borders by external forces. It is disrespect to our

martyrs.

He said, Whenever the BJP has come to power at the Centre and the state, it haspaid due regards to our martyrs. But the UPA government has failed on this front,

he said.

Dhumal further said, I was the first MP who raised the issue of one rank, one

pension in Parliament in 1992, but the UPA government has been dithering over it.

Dhumal said, There are about 1.25 lakh ex-servicemen and 1 lakh serving soldiers in

the state and their votes cannot tilt the balance in favour of any party in elections.

Therefore, leaders of the BJP ex-servicemen cell should give make efforts at winning

their support and work for solving their problems.

Addressing the meeting, the state BJP president said, It is a matter of shame that

ex-servicemen are forced to raise their demands when it is a duty of the government

to look after their interests.

Resolutions were also passed at the meeting, demanding withdrawal of levying of 4

per cent VAT in the CSD canteens, bringing Dogra regiment to the state and creation

of a Himachal/Himalayan regiment in the Army.

It was also decided at the meeting that 600 ex-servicemen would be send to attend
