This is our JORHAT Town Railway station … Platform No.1
This is the poor and shameful condition of Railway station… from where the Honorable Chief minister belongs. Shri Tarun Gogoi, Chief Minister of ASSAM, whose constituency was Jorhat, this is the condition of his town station, what can be more expected other than this. Even no major Train are there from Jorhat, except … Jan-shatapdi and inter-city, even after having 2nd popular city of ASSAM just after Guwahati and also Jorhat is center for KAZIRANGA forest, Majuli (the river island ) Agriculture university, ONGC, NUMLIGARH refinery, Toklai Tea Research center…etc many more to say.
The deadlock between the University Grants Commission and Delhi University over the national education regulator’s directive to scrap the university’s four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP) and replace it with the old three-year undergraduate programme has finally ended, but the episode left many students in the lurch. Had the stand-off been about the merits of the FYUP, things would have been different. Instead, it reflected an ad-hoc, callous and arbitrary approach toward higher education in India and showed the degree of derision with which we treat our universities and their decisions.
What cannot be overlooked is the fact that the FYUP programme was approved by the academic council and the executive council of the university, which are statutory bodies under the Delhi University Act of 1922, though it was not approved by the Visitor of the University — the President of India. The UGC has known about the programme all this time and in fact, as has been reported widely, it has maintained that universities have the right to choose the duration of their academic programmes.
So, the question to be asked is this: what prompted the UGC to take a 180-degree turn on this issue after one year? Did it discover some new facts that were not known to it in 2013, when FYUP was rolled out, to come to the conclusion that this programme is in violation of the national policy on education that provides for the 10+2+3 format? The answer seems to be ‘no.’ All material available in the public domain shows that many people, including some of the members of the UGC, had objected to the FYUP on this very ground when it was being introduced in 2013.
Android wear was first unveiled back in March, but it wasn’t until today that Google has announced that the platform is ready to hit the market. It is obvious that Android Wear has matured over the course of the last few months. It looks and feels like a finished product, however Google did not introduce any new features in the final version. Regardless of hardware it is running on, Android Wear functions as an extension for your phone. It allows you to quickly view your notifications and Google Now cards as well as use applications designed specifically for smartwatches. For example, with just a few taps you can order pizza or download a recipe for a tasty pasta salad. Even if your hands are busy kneading the dough, you can still use your voice to ask your watch a question and have the answer displayed directly on your wrist. Android Wear comes with a simple card-based interface that you can navigate with gestures and swipes. There is also an array of fitness tracking-features, which can turn your smartwatch into a personal trainer. First Android Wear-powered devices, the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live, will be available to order from the Play Store.
