Opportunity of aiding for making a literate India is in your hand now. Guys and girls are openly invited to join this movement. Teach for India (TFI) is looking for serious final year students and young professionals for two years full time fellowship program.
The movement is focused on selecting about 150 young leaders from across India and the world who, in the short-run, will teach for two years, and in the long-run become advocates for educational equity.
The entire thing is explained by Shaheen Mistry, CEO of TFI. He said, “Teach For India can change this nation for every child by building a movement of leaders who understand the challenges first hand, develop the skills and mindset to tackle it, and work relentlessly through their lives to maximize every child’s potential.”
TFI is a movement to bridge the education gap in India. Country’s outstanding college graduates and young professionals will teach in low income school for two years. Quality education is the main motto of the movement. Teach for India aims to place hundreds of fellows in the country’s top metropolitan cities and their surrounding rural areas.
The participants of this fellowship will be trained by the innovative teaching methods and leadership. After two years, the fellows will be supported by Teach for India in their search for corporate and social sector jobs, to work in the government, or to join higher educational institutions.
I really think this is a great cause and each one of us should try to participate and help in bringing the smile back on the faces of these underprivileged children.
Delhi University has raised the voice in protest against sexual harassment in the campus. Students want the authorities should take the initiative about the campaign.
Last Friday North Campus witnessed a protest rally by the students in front of vice-chancellors office. Devangana Kalita the final year student from Miranda College said, “We want to make our campus a zero-tolerance zone as far as sexual harassment is concerned. We are not only targeting students and teachers but also the non-teaching staff and even the bantawala on the campus to stop any incident of sexual harassment.”
On Friday, almost 300 students rallied from the Arts faculty with slogans, banners and posters to the office of vice chancellor. The rally was formed by participation of 10 colleges.
A step was taken early this year but the result wasn’t so fruitful. This time students were quite adamant to make their aim successful. Devangana said, “We had prepared a questionnaire and gave it to random students during January to March earlier this year. We found that there was hardly any awareness about sexual harassment. She added, “That’s when we thought of taking our efforts further and sent an open invitation to students to join us.”
The protesting students have started meeting every Tuesday to discuss about how to raise awareness about ordnance XVD. They have also carried several “freedom marches” in the campus last week.
In today’s global job market, communication/presentation skills have become as essential as academic qualifications. Addressing this concern, Delhi University has recently launched a personality development course. The course will be offered to two batches — of 40 students each.
The three-month course will be offering 75 hours of training to participants on various aspects related to one’s personality. The fee for this course is Rs 2,500. Last year, this course was open for only DU students. However, this year, the university has decided to keep it open for all.
The course content includes topics such as understanding self and others, psychological assessment, communication, motivation, stress and time management, group discussion and interview, conflict management, leadership and holistic wellness.
All of us know today is Teacher’s Day but most of us do not know why September 5 is celebrated as Teacher’s Day. Teachers Day is dedicated to Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education and was one of the greatest scholars and teachers of all times, apart from being the President of India. As a tribute to this great teacher, his birthday is observed as Teachers Day in India (the World Teacher’s Day is celebrated on October 5).
During his tenure as a president, he was approached by his students and friends and was asked to celebrate 5th September, his birthday. He rather told them to observe this day as the Teacher’s Day. From then onwards, this day is celebrated as the Teacher’s Day.
