मुद्दा बंटवारे का !

आन्ध्र प्रदेश में के. चन्द्र शेखर राव ने पृथक तेलंगाना प्रांत कि मांग क्या की, कि पूरे भारत में राजनैतिक भूचाल सा आया हुआ है । प्रथक प्रान्तों कि मांग पूर्व में भी होती रही है पर इस बार मामला जयादा ही गर्म है, क्योंकिं केंद्र सरकार ने मामले के साथ सहानुभूति दिखाई है । परिणाम स्वरूप, पूरे देश में भाषाई आधार पर, सांस्कृतिक आधार पर और लम्बे समय से चले आ रहे क्षेत्रीय जन संघर्षों के आधार पर कई प्रान्तों की मांग जोर पकड़ रही है । हरित प्रदेश, पूर्वांचल, बुंदेलखंड, रायलसीमा, विदर्भ आदि राज्यों की मांग से जुड़े कुछ आन्दोलन शायद अब निकट भविष्य में नये कलेवर एवं तेवर के साथ दिखाई पड़ें ।

बंटवारे कि मांग के के साथ जुड़े विभिन्न पहलुओं पर चर्चा हेतु विश्विद्यालय के जन संचार विभाग में दिनांक 21 दिसंबर 2009 को ' मुद्दा बंटवारे का ' शीर्षक पर एक खुली बहस का आयोजन किया गया । इस खुली बहस का एक उद्देश्य जन संचार विभाग के छात्रों को टेलीविजन पत्रकारिता से जुड़े कामों की रियल लाइफ ट्रेनिंग देना भी था । विभाग के शिक्षक जावेद के निर्देशन में छात्रों को कैमरा के प्रयोग, साउंड, एंकरिंग, सम्पादन आदि कार्यों का भी वास्तविक प्रशिक्षण दिया गया । इस कार्यक्रम में मुझे भी एक पैनालिस्ट के रुप सहभागिता करने का सुअवसर मिला । इसी कार्यक्रम की एक फोटो होस्ट कर रहा हूँ ।

Student allowed to see re-check process

For the first time in Gujarat, a student from Patan, Kuntilal Parmar, who had taken his Primary Teacher College (PTC) exams, has been granted permission to remain present while his answer sheets are being re-checked. Parmar had sought permission under the Right to Information (RTI) Act to remain present during the re-checking of his answer papers.

He was allowed to do so by state information commissioner (SIC) RN Das on Friday. Relevant oral orders were passed by SIC to GEB. The GEB holds certificate and diploma exams in subjects such as home science, PTC, physical education and a number of vocational courses.

However, to inject transparency in the entire process Das ordered that Parmar be allowed to be present while his answer sheets were being rechecked. The decision comes with a rider: SIC's orders were limited to re-checking, which involves only re-totalling of marks. The other aspect of exam rescrutiny - which is re-assessment of all answers provided by the examinee - has not been allowed.

THE Mahiti Adhikar Gujarat Pahel, an initiative of Janpath, will set up guidance centres in different parts of Gujarat on Saturday to help students studying in Class XII view their answer sheets under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

The results of Class XII (Science) will be declared on Saturday. Guidance centres will be started in Ahmedabad, Naroda, Dholka, Surat, Vadodara, Jamnagar, Bharuch, Surendranagar and Mehasana. Students can file RTI applications to get a copy of their answer sheets in 48 hours with the help of these guidance centres.

The guidance centres will function for three days. Apart from guidance centres, a citizens’ orientation camp will also be organised in Ahmedabad. Talking to the media about these guidance centres, Harinesh Pandya of Janpath said, “A lot of procedure needs to be followed to get one’s answer sheet but if a student applies under Section 7 (1) of the RTI Act which says that the information needs to be provided within 48 hours if it concerns the life and liberty of the person, then the burden of the proof is on the PIO if he chooses to reject the application.”

The Mahiti Adhikar Gujarat Pahel also revealed its data for the whole year which included the number and the kind of calls made on its helpline. While 12, 427 calls were made last year on the helpline, a majority of calls were made by people seeking information from the State Revenue Department. Fourteen percent calls on the helpline was made by government functionaries and 86 percent calls were made by the citizens.
