The Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) recently released a manual on disability management for IAS probationers and serving officers. The manual will provide policymakers a broad profile of disability in India, acquaint them about training and education in the field of disability and highlight the importance of early intervention.

Mr C. Gopal Reddy, Secretary, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, who released the manual said: “In the context of the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995, the provisions for the disabled can be implemented and their rights can be protected only if administrators are aware of these facts.”

The manual is the result of a module comprising 42 hours of teaching, practical and field work. The module will cover development issues on disability, policy perspective and legal framework, incidence of disability — causes and prevention, models of education for children with special needs and related problems, vocational training and employment, community-based rehabilitation programme and programme concessions and supportive services..

Speaking on the occasion, Dr P. L. Sanjeeva Reddy, Director, Indian Institute of Public Administration, said that the training of young cadre and in-service IAS officers is very important to meet the requirements of the disabled in the country.

The proposal for development of the module for policymakers and administrators was first mooted in November, 2001 by Mr B. N. Yugandhar, Chairman of the

Standing Syllabus Committee for IAS officers, Lal Bahadur Shastri Academy of Administration, Mussorie. He shared the concept with the RCI, which then developed three draft modules. Over the years, the RCI, a statutory body under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, has developed and standardised more than 50 training programmes.

With the Directorate General of Resettlement, a wing of the army, near Indian Institute of Management (IIM) from Calcutta to negotiate management techniques of ex-soldiers who joka Campus is a new group of students, from 9 April.

“We have 24 weeks for certification, of course, the ex-soldiers, taking into account the need to improve employability in companies,” said Sushil Khanna, President of the Board and management of the programme development.

The milestones for retirement and service short Commission officers are divided into four modules, three of the seven weeks and one for every three weeks. After Khanna, the program modules are available in the fields of finance, marketing, organizational behavior, in collaboration with other courses such as economic and legal framework in the management aspects. Participants must also undertake the project.

“Our officers learn management skills, while the force, but they must be some formal training and, to some extent the resolution of conflicts in civilian life,” said a spokesman of the armed forces.

The fee for the certificate course is Rs 1.4 lakh, which participants must pay 56000 R and the rest is supported by the government. Although the Institute of placement may help some, the primary responsibility in finding a job is among students.

The Branch has 75 participants - 51 of the Army, 12 Air Force and 12 Navy - for the program.

The directorate has also closely linked to other B-schools, as the IIMS in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Lucknow and Indore.

“If officers are insured, the colony to a decent life after their service in the army, more and more qualified people are attracted, services,” says Khanna, adding that the Institute has made plans for the implementation of the certification program twice a year.

MUMBAI: Dr Narendra Karmarkar, renowned scientists in the world, is a high-Profiles project for the construction of one of the greatest super-computers worldwide in Pune, differences with the Tata group, investors in the draft.

Narendra Karmarkar and said that the Tatas and ruthless, he had developed a disagreement on the fundamental objectives of the project. “Beyond the generation of great returns for investors, as I had a vision of greater use of this technology to conduct scientific development within the country and the rest of the world,” he said.

The Tatas, on the other hand, saw their role as a funder of pure risk. You do not see any merit in the sharing of this technology to solve the problems of public good, as global warming, “said Karmarkar. “In fact, most VCs not be regarded as extra” philanthropic “baggage incumbent upon them under the inventor,” says Karmarkar.

The real reason why the Tata group was not interested in this technology to the broader scientific community, in particular because of the conduct of their heritage scientific development in the country, in the past, is still uncertain. “There was a disagreement on the business model and the commitment to providing a plan. Computational Research Laboratory (CRL), an agreement for the release of Mr. Karmarkar services on the basis of his claim. CRL’s team continues its work on initiatives in the area of the High Performance Computing (HPC), “said a spokesman of the LCR, the unit was responsible for the project.

Privat, Tata-High Level Group on the legal framework of “sustainability”, the paralysis of the project. Nearly man to say that the development of the Tata Group and Mr. Karmarkar were also differences in the possession of intellectual property, that the project would create. The group was uncertain, they said Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), HPC, or M. Karmarkar is its own IP. Tata insiders say that Mr. Karmarkar not compel all stages and that the group has no confidence that it would be able to assume the project in a sustainable manner. Until then, the plan for the construction of a super-computer was only a “great theory” that Mr. Karmarkar.

Insiders also say that, while the group saw the project as an unsettled period, the Tata Group proposes M. Karmarkar Chief Technology Officer of the company, paving the way for the induction of a new Director General, Dr. Karmarkar, but was not too happy with this agreement.

Mr. Karmarkar’s exit marked a major setback for a project that has promised that the country to the brink of the Super Computing Cutting technology. In addition, sheds light on India Inc’s something limited experience in the promotion of basic research, scientific research, management and ownership of intellectual property and an appropriate model for professional research funded by the laboratories.

Super computer nature, had Karmarkar, to develop a wide range of applications, nanotechnology, cell biology and the study of problems of global warming. In a previous interview with ET, Karmarkar said: “In 10 years, super-computers are used to the cells and their behaviour, and in 20 years, the methods will help us develop drugs. Indians can be used for super-computers Advance in research, which has the potential for the future. ”

The spokesman for the Tata group says it will continue to support the development of HPC solutions. But without Mr. Karmarkar in the head, it is not clear to what extent the original project, the targets are met.
Meanwhile, Mr. Karmarkar, it is now moving towards a new investor who buys and more of his vision. “When the inventors, I think I have a few rights to the decision, as I know (or IP), is finally being used.” Each new first investors must feel that they have no way of a venture capital mentality. “In view of savings, I was on the investment of venture, I am ready to accept a reduced share of the company,” he says.

But if the Tatas it on the momentum of Mr. Karmarkar early last year, it is also quite hunky dory, especially as the project had the blessings of a person, no less than group chairman Ratan Tata. Indeed, it was he spotted the first opportunity to work with Mr. Karmarkar-Fonds and high-quality scientific research. Mr. Karmarkar TIFR was then working with a group of researchers on the project for Super Computing in Pune. They needed an amount of Rs 400 crore, beyond which is a research institutions such as the Fund could TIFR.

Fifteen years a company steel Swedish city of Rs 30 crore for the sale of technology to the Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL). Indian Institute of Science (IISC), Bangalore and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras analyzed the elementary processes and their analysis has shown that the technology is not up to the mark. The next day, the price rose 15 crore Case “It is the strength of higher education,” says MS Ananth, director, IIT Madras.

Unfortunately, higher education in India has lost periphery. There has been little innovation - by little, through investments, ill-legal framework and lack of relevance. All these problems are difficult to fix, and at least one step towards it was last week. The government has decided that proposals for the revision of the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE). In some ways, AICTE symbolizes much of the approach to maladministration.

It is against sharing degree of Indian and Western universities (B Mumbai-based SP Jain-school tie-up which was rejected on MIT). Its criteria for granting recognition to universities were considered very restrictive. The requirement of 25 hectares of land for higher education institutions, it is almost impossible for the institutions to start operations in major cities.

At the same time, she persmision at many universities, the exploitation of only a few rooms. If you believe that the AICTE long and short, think again. There are more than 12 professional legal advice. The problem is not the number but with the fact that most of these organizations are regulators - they look at the quality of the entries. Nobody measures of the quality of schools.

Checking the quality

This approach must change. Mr. Ananth said, “There is not a sort of control. It is only available on paper and gives rise to corruption. “An outing can be done by an accrediting body of higher education. This ensures that students not to be deceived.

Something on the lines of ABET, an accreditation body in the United States, this is a university known for accreditor-Uni and programmes of applied science, computing, engineering and technology. The difference between accreditation and regulation is that the former guarantees the quality of the institutions already and that the regulatory authorities, the power of institutions.

It could be argued that the decentralization of powers could dilute the quality of education. This problem can be solved by the granting of autonomy to each of the 16885 schools in India. While reviewing the accreditation standards of qualification or an academic institution, autonomy, the bodies responsible for quality education.

At present, higher education with very different levels of quality are members of the same university. “Higher education institutions offer high price to suffer as these two students both good and bad colleges get the same level,” says Ananth. The way of screening investments would be wrong for establishments with the high quality of students.

Says Nitin Potdar, a partner in the law firm J Sagar Associates, “We do not need specific training areas of special economic zones”. Over the past two years has been Potdar foreign herangetreten four major universities start searching operations in India. Non-transparency and “license paradise” in the system, said Potdar, led these institutions.

Traditionalists have strongly opposed foreign education, fear, it could lead to what the commodification of knowledge. Worse, others think that the Western countries will follow their business model and produce “technical” which itself to promote their demands.

India has no choice, unfortunately. Current expenditure on education through the centre and states is Rs 91000 crore. Another Rs 7000 crore IS cess collected through education (3.32% of GDP). Singapore spends 4% of its GDP on education.

Admittedly, there was a 150% increase in the spending power of higher education in 2007-08 (Rs 6354 crore to Rs 2550.50 crore this year), it remains the fact that India will continue to lag behind her fellow Asians. Currently, India spends 0.5% of its GDP on education. It should reach 1.5% of GDP. Even crore from Rs 100000 per annum for the initial and continuing training. The government is not always with this amount.

Who’s afraid of FDI?

Suspicion on foreign investment, vibration Krishan Khanna, president and founder of iWatch a national movement for citizens Transforming India. Human beings vis-à-vis scoring walk in the chic lobby of the Hotel Hilton Towers Mumbai, Khanna said: “These people are not affected by the state of higher education in the country, as they can afford to follow the foreign education systems.

Until the area is open to investment, human beings have the resignation of the sub-default state of higher education in India. Goddess of learning, Saraswati, should be liberalised and unleashed, as the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, in the year 1991. “Education is perhaps the same footing as insurance, real estate and the print media in recent years.” After years of opposition, the IDF was finally admitted in these sectors.

In India, nearly 160000 students to go overseas and technical colleges. This leads to an outflow of foreign currency cash of more than $ 10 billion per year. “This amount is sufficient for 40 IIMs or 20 IITs per year! More rationing of higher education seats for a few people at the corner of the market and which leads to a black market and the threat of taxes per capita” adds Khanna.

Other countries have recognized that foreign investments have benefited enormously. Dubai, a dwarf compared to India, has already taken steps in this direction. Four years ago, Dubai has opened its doors on International Trade in vocational training centres and human resources businesses. Dubai Knowledge Village (DKV) belong to different nationalities, as Australians, Indians, Pakistanis, Iranians, Russians, Belgians, the English and Irish. In addition, the DKV 100% owned by foreign capital and the exemption.

Take another example, in Singapore as a regional hub, the quality of education at a price much lower in comparison with the United States. Accordingly, it has more than 66000 students from 60 nations. The presence of multinational companies in Singapore 7000 provides networking confederations of industry and employment opportunities.

If similar models were conceived in the Indian context, infusion of direct investment will ensure Indian establishments using technology, infrastructure and the know-how of foreign schools such as Harvard, Wharton, London Business School and ‘INSEAD.

Location in companies

The next step would be for the private sector to play a greater role. In the global context, India is lagging behind in terms of the number of institutions of higher learning. While Japan has 4000 for its higher education institutions and 127 million people in the United States for 3650, 301 million of its institutions of higher education, India has only 348 for universities, 1.2 billion people. Given that the government has primary and secondary education, finance Vernünftigste, what could be done to enable businesses tearing at the same time.

In Japan, 75% of universities are private, India, the proportion is around 30%. And the success of most private training institutions have a set here - all regulatory obstacles to be overcome, and you are done. To be fair, some companies have enetered this sector and rauhte it out.

Vedanta University CEO Krishnan V, remembers being questioned on the large plot of land bought at the university. Authorities believed that 6000 hectares and has been very fully with these bits of dormitories. “We clearly our intention that we are not for all the incentives and sops or that the country has been gained from more than the market. Naturally, there will be too many delays and regulatory barriers. However, the Indians, we understand the challenges, “said Krishnan.

Vedanta has eight institutions of higher education in the schools of art and science, technology and the right of UAS, schools management, medicine, design and architecture, education and communication and received a generous grant of $ 1 billion by Anil Agarwal.

The university, which claims that research in their DNA will be his first match in 2009, a diploma. Up to the year 2010, the entire university will be fully operational, with a capacity of 100000 students. Krishnan hopes that companies like Infosys, Tatas active participation in that direction. “What I saw, everything is great and start others will follow. Demand for higher education, research is very high,” he adds.

Regardless of the recent University of Vedanta members, former ICFAI as Manipal University and discussions with the same regulatory issues. Manipal University, a university, when started with a medical university in 1953, today has 24 higher education institutions. Not only is it in place, four other institutions of higher education in India with an initial investment of about Rs 100-130 crore, has announced plans of globalization.

The fact that the small town of Manipal has become a focal point for training abroad and students is a testament to the success of the University. Manipal University Vice-Chancellor Dr RP Warrier said, “The regulation has, and it has helped to facilitate the development of higher education, rather than limiting.”

Similarly, the 24-year ICFAI business has more than 19 schools, six engineering colleges with an annual revenue of 5000 students. After ICFAI Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Ranga Rao V, Pandu, there are two major challenges facing the University of faces. “Firstly, the multiplicity of supervisors makes things very difficult and delayed. Secondly, a more serious problem is the lack of quality of faculty,” he says.

It is a serious imbalance between the demand for skills and the supply of the product from the universities. Darlie Koshy, director of the National Institute of Design (NID), and take on responsibilities in the study group, which by Chile. In it, the budget is divided between the sectors of education in the order of the importance of this sector, it is appropriate.

Of the 440 million young people currently, approximately 58% are in the service sector, 28% in manufacturing and 15% in agriculture. That’s why the awarding of training should be in that order. “At a time when we are talking about driving on the land, design and innovation, there is not in this budget. These are 400 schools of design in India, but there are about 30000 — 40000 schools in China, “said Koshy.
