US says foreign students whose classes move online cannot stay, Indian students to be second-worst affected..

The United States said Monday it would not allow foreign students to remain in the country if all of their classes are moved online in the fall because of the coronavirus crisis.

“Nonimmigrant F-1 and M-1 students attending schools operating entirely online may not take a full online course load and remain in the United States,” US Immigration and Custom Enforcement said in a statement.

“Active students currently in the United States enrolled in such programs must depart the country or take other measures, such as transferring to a school with in-person instruction to remain in lawful status,” ICE said.

“If not, they may face immigration consequences including, but not limited to, the initiation of removal proceedings.”

ICE said the State Department “will not issue visas to students enrolled in schools and/or programs that are fully online for the fall semester nor will US Customs and Border Protection permit these students to enter the United States.”

F-1 students pursue academic coursework and M-1 students pursue “vocational coursework,” according to ICE.

Most US colleges and universities have not yet announced their plans for the fall semester.

A number of schools are looking at a hybrid model of in-person and online instruction but some, including Harvard University, have said all classes will be conducted online.

Harvard said 40 percent of undergraduates would be allowed to return to campus but their instruction would be online.

There were more than one million international students in the United States for the 2018-19 academic year, according to the Institute of International Education (IIE).

That accounted for 5.5 percent of the total US higher education population, the IIE said, and international students contributed $44.7 billion to the US economy in 2018.

The largest number of international students came from China, followed by India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Canada.

200% increase in cyber incidents in last two months, says top PMO official…

There has been a 200 per cent rise in cyber incidents in India in the last couple of months but there is no evidence that the cases increased due to the tensions between India and China, Chief Information Security Officer in the Prime Minister’s Office Gulshan Rai said on Monday.

‘There have been larger cases of phishing, service issues and ransomware which have gone up. These cases have gone up not merely because of heightened tensions, these cases have gone up from January and February-end because of the culture of working from home,’ he said.

During an interactive session organised by payments company EPS here, Rai also said that offices typically have necessary security measures taken in, and urged people to be more careful about what they download and stick to verified applications itself.

‘It is certainly true that during the last couple of months, the cyber incidents (like) hacking systems have gone up significantly. Somebody may say more than 200 per cent (increase), that’s the figure which is available,’ he said.

‘… there is no evidence as of now that the attacks have gone up due to the tensions between the two countries (India and China),’ he added.

He was responding to a query by a reporter that after the violent faceoff between India and China, there were a lot of reports that cyber attacks would increase on India’s infrastructure and banking services.

Rai said there are dedicated agencies which are monitoring the situation and preventing the attacks.

Ties between India and China have hit a new low following the violent clashes in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh, which left 20 Indian army personnel dead. India has also banned 59 Chinese apps citing security concerns.

To a question on reliance on Chinese products, he said China is a world leader in manufacturing and everyone buys from the country knowing that they are vulnerable.

This is where Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for self-reliance is crucial, Rai said, adding that other countries, including America and European nations, are also looking at ways of reducing dependence on China.

‘I think in a couple of years, there will be a lot of shifting towards an Aatma Nirbhar programme. America, Europe as well, everyone is charged up. We need to take steps to check on the misuse or the misfunctioning of the Chinese systems and there are ways and means to do that,’ he said.

In order to reduce incidents of fraud in banking, Rai suggested a method where the receiver of funds from online transfers is not able to withdraw the money for an hour.

He said there is a need to overhaul cyber security architecture at banks because of the rapid changes in technologies, even though a significant amount of ground has been covered in the past.

In cases of critical infrastructure like refineries and power plants, Rai said it is a blessing in disguise that much of such facilities in India are not connected to the wider internet but eventually efficiency needs will force them to get connected and there will be a need for better security at such facilities.

The incident at the atomic power station at Tamil Nadu’s Kudankulam in 2019 was blown out of proportion by the media, he said, adding that systems connected to the internet and the plant operations were totally segregated there.

‘The attack happened on the MIS system in the office, where the hackers have been able to reach and get the files and post it on the dark net. Our control system was safe and they are not connected on the internet,’ he said.

‘We won’t let China take reins’: US pledges military support to India in conflict with China…

Washington, DC: The United States will continue to stand strong in the ongoing conflict between India and China, said a top White House official on Monday. He further claimed that no one in China’s periphery is safe from Chinese aggression.

When asked about the US Navy deploying two aircraft carriers in the South China Sea amid the ongoing tensions, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said, “The message is clear. We’re not going to stand by and let China or anyone else take the reins in terms of being the most powerful, dominant force, whether it’s in that region or over here.”

“Our military might stands strong and will continue to stand strong, whether it’s in relationship to a conflict between India and China or anywhere else,” he added.

Meadows went on to add that the US’ mission is to make sure the world knows that it still has the preeminent fighting force in the world.

Meanwhile, India and China continue to remain locked in a stand-off in areas like Pangong Tso, Galwan Valley and Gogra Hot Springs in Ladakh. The tensions have heightened between the two countries after their respective army personnel clashed in Galwan Valley resulting in the death of 20 Indian troops.

China begins withdrawing troops from Ladakh

Yesterday, the Chinese military began withdrawing troops from the Galwan Valley and Gogra Hot Spring after National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held lengthy discussions a day earlier.

However, Ladakh standoff is not the only dispute that China is currently engaged in. It has conflicts in both the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Beijing has heavily increased the military presence in many of the islands and reefs it controls in the region.

China claims almost all of the South China Sea. Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have counter claims over the area. It should be noted that both the East and South China sea are stated to be rich in minerals, oil and other natural resources and are vital to global trade.

BJP new election campaign idea!

With its initial reception of advanced innovations and absence of asset requirements, BJP is the main ideological group heading into the Bihar get together races without agonizing a lot over contacting the electorate in the midst of the coronavirus alarm. So incredible has been BJP’s initial flood that a grip of resistance groups drove by RJD have contradicted its virtual meetings refering to the requirement for a level-playing field. The interest of the gatherings is probably not going to be acknowledged by the Election Commission as this is an experimental method of battling.

On the other hand, gatherings can spare themselves the expense of transportation and sorting out enormous physical meetings by receiving advancements like Zoom. Reports additionally show that BJP has moved to make a tremendous Whatsapp bunch framework down to the corner level to enhance its informing. It is even conceivable that this political race could see the BJP upstage boss clergyman Nitish Kumar and JD(U) with Nitish unfit to use his interface with voters through ground rallies.

BJP will likewise cheer up at the thunderings inside the restriction camp. Tejashwi Yadav has lost agreeableness among RJD’s partners and Congress seems, by all accounts, to be gauging the chance of testing political openings made by Lalu Prasad Yadav’s shroud. BJP’s definitive desire has been to shake off the partner stuff in Bihar, as it could in Maharashtra. While BJP has reaffirmed Nitish’s supremacy, nothing is changeless in governmental issues and it is altogether inside the domain of plausibility that innovation could rush the following huge disturbance in Bihar legislative issues.

Let’s treat social distancing as saadhnaa!

Among the numerous holy people who have showed up in Tamil Nadu, Ramalinga Swamigal, prevalently known as Arut Prakasa Vallalar, stands apart as an otherworldly pioneer with a distinction. He established an all inclusive religion, where no human is segregated on the ground of position, shading, or statement of faith, where God is seen as Jyoti, the brilliant light. His way of thinking, called Suddha Sanmargam, way of immaculateness, truth and flawlessness, depends on all inclusive fellowship, where harmony, generosity and congruity win. He held up specific standards and qualities which he explained in his melody, ‘Thiru Arutpa’. He supported three straightforward ways for an existence of complete satisfaction: pasithiru, thanithiru and vizhithiru – remain hungry, keep up separate and stay alert.

Remain hungry: It doesn’t mean going without food, which is the imperative wellspring of vitality. It implies that one ought to stay away from food every so often and in this manner offer rest to the stomach related framework. The Krishna sanctuary at Guruvayur watches ‘Ekadasi celebration’ consistently when fans keep away from ordinary food. Great wellbeing is controlled by the nature of food that is satvik in its immaculateness, sustenance and equalization. On the off chance that the amount is more, it would prompt inactivity and the journey for information would lessen. Starving for some time would reduce the inclination for sense satisfaction.

Vallalar who is additionally a recognized doctor, specified the sort of food one ought to embrace and the sort of food one should dispose of. Obviously, moderate dietary patterns and solid food would make great obstruction power in the human framework, boosting its insusceptibility.

Look after separation: To stay alone doesn’t mean being completely disconnected from the world; it just methods keeping a good ways from the world. Indian holy people and sages constantly depended on lone spots like woods and wildernesses since they discovered tremendous incentive in social removing. The demonstration of removing oneself from different contacts and being ‘one’s own Self’ accept significance and desperation in the present basic circumstance.

We are so fascinated in different human exercises that we deny ourselves many ‘delights’ like being separated from everyone else, reflecting upon ourselves and mulling over. Our brain has an inclination consistently to turn towards the outer world; subsequently social removing is a chance to divert the psyche to our own source. It is a chance to go further into the truth of our own Self, liberated from the antagonistic impact of the world.

Stay conscious: When an individual gets up from bed in the first part of the day, he thinks he has woken up. As a matter of fact, he has woken up just to the domain of his body and brain. He has woken up just to familiarity with the pictures of the world. He truly awakens just when he comes out of the complexities of his body, psyche and mind and understands his actual nature.

At the point when a horrendous ailment like the novel coronavirus strikes mankind, it ought to be an event to contemplate over the emptiness of life and the purposelessness of material qualities. Events like this should provoke the person to consider over the inquiry, ‘what is genuine?’ This is the time he ought to tune in to the call of the Lord of Death, Yama Dharma Raja: “Emerge, Awake and arrive at the way appeared by the holy people. ” (Uttisthata Jagrata, Kathopanishad 1-iii-14). Maybe, Arut Prakasa Vallalar’s lessons have never been as legitimately pertinent to humankind as they are currently.

Let’s counter terrorism together!

Counter-psychological warfare will be perhaps the most elevated need as a non-perpetual individual from the UN Security Council.

India will be back in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for a two-year term starting January 1, 2021 at a crucial time throughout the entire existence of the UN. It is trusted that by then COVID-19 will have died down, a U. S. President will have been chosen, and the shapes of another world request may have developed. India is serving for the eighth time and has a record of adding to a portion of the original goals of the UNSC. As a result of the long discussion on the extension of the UNSC, numerous nations which have never served on the Council have started to guarantee their turn. Prior, India, Japan, Pakistan and some others used to get chose all the more oftentimes. Contrasted with the resigning individuals, the recently chosen individuals are all the more politically huge. India’s notoriety for taking adjusted positions and agreement building will be invited by different individuals.

About the challenge

The fundamental challenge for the non-changeless seats happens in the individual local gatherings and their sub-gatherings. Casting a ballot in the General Assembly is to satisfy the prerequisite of nations making sure about a 66% lion’s share of the part states. In the event that there is local support, all nations, aside from those with any complaint against the up-and-comers, vote in favor of them and they sail through without any problem. Yet, territorial underwriting is getting troublesome as nations engrave their names a long time ahead of time and those crouching nations must be convinced to clear the spot through different methods. Last time, it was Kazakhstan which emptied the spot for India; this time, it was Afghanistan. India couldn’t have the support without such motions from well disposed nations. It more likely than not taken some deft action by our central goal to achieve these accomplishments.

Casting a ballot in the General Assembly isn’t without its own fervor. The 66% larger part is guaranteed, however the opposition is to make sure about all the votes cast. In any case, nobody gets that as the voting form is mystery and enemies may cast a ballot against the applicants. For example, out of the 192 votes cast, India got 184 and nobody will ever know the eight nations that didn’t decide in favor of India. In any case, it involves worry that there are such a large number of nations with complaints against India. In the request for the quantity of votes got by every one, the nations chose were Mexico, India, Norway, Ireland and Kenya. Since there was no support in the African Group, Kenya needed to go for a second round against Djibouti. Kenya was the most loved of the West and Djibouti was bolstered by China and the Islamic states. In the Western European and Others Group, Canada lost to Ireland in a quarrelsome challenge.

One exceptional component this year was the COVID-19 impact. Ministers were permitted to enter the General Assembly Hall individually to cast their voting forms rather than the synchronous democratic that normally happens. The crusade was likewise offbeat — it occurred through Zoom discussions and the sharing of leaflets and flyers as opposed to through gatherings at bars and eateries serving haute food around the UN. The competitors may likewise have set aside cash as this is typically an event for rampage spending .

In spite of the fact that India’s prosperity was guaranteed, the new Permanent Representative of India, T. S. Tirumurti, who has gained notoriety for multilateral aptitudes, created a noteworthy media introduction with recollections of India’s real job in the records of the UN. Requested his response to the triumph, he stated, “In the COVID and the post-COVID world, India will keep on giving authority and another direction for a changed multilateral framework. ” How far the UN will have the option to change itself in the new circumstance stays dubious. The normal changes after 9/11 never appeared in light of personal stakes and conventional positions. The UN didn’t prevail in either characterizing fear based oppression or in receiving the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism. Counter-psychological oppression will be probably the most noteworthy need for India at the UNSC.

Lasting enrollment

India’s political decision as a non-perpetual part has justifiably lighted the expectation that its journey for lasting enrollment of the Council may succeed. Nothing is farther from reality. Working inside the arrangements of the Charter is a certain something and trying to correct the Charter to include new lasting individuals is very another. The discussion has hurled numerous thoughts, however till today, none of the proposition has the chance of making sure about 66% lion’s share of the General Assembly and the votes of the five perpetual individuals. It is genuinely sure that no development of the changeless individuals will occur under the current arrangements of the Charter. We may censure the changeless individuals for being resolved about ensuring their special positions, however the truth of the matter is that a lion’s share of the UN individuals are against the benefits of the perpetual individuals, especially the veto. India’s presentation in the Council may gain it regard, however it won’t prompt its rise to lasting enrollment as the restriction to any development isn’t India-explicit.

India will have a more prominent at the UN for the following two years as the non-perpetual individuals have an aggregate veto over each goals in the Council. Lasting individuals can forestall selection of goals without anyone else, however they need at any rate nine votes to get a goals passed. India will likewise have an uncommon peep into the interviews office of the UNSC, which is shut to non-individuals from the Council. It is there that hard exchanges happen with no open record, portrayed by arm-bending and dangers of veto. The weight of work of the mission will likewise increment since India will engage in numerous issues wherein it might not have any immediate intrigue. Since India doesn’t have a veto, it will need to continue circumspectly not to outrage anybody, in case they ought to conflict with it when a matter of fundamental enthusiasm for the nation comes up in the Council.

India’s crucial New York has earned a notoriety that it is next just to the lasting individuals in impact. Be that as it may, regardless of whether it will have the option to manage conventional difficulties in novel manners will rely upon the turns and winds in an unsure world.

The heavy burden of social suffering!

The wretchedness the pandemic has caused to the helpless focuses to the repulsive manners by which social orders are composed.

It is a cliché that enduring is a piece of life. Nobody, actually nobody, is excluded from it.

A profound philosophical understanding of this case is given by the incomparable Buddha: the simple actuality of human presence involves enduring in light of the fact that everything on the planet is fleeting , transient. Its impending vanishing is experienced as a misfortune, causing anguish. This basic blemish on the planet keeps all of us in a close perpetual condition of ‘dukkha’ or radical uneasiness.

Unpreventable truth

There is a second, critical sense in which every single individual are liable to anguish. We as a whole experience a profoundly negative, undesirable experience when day by day schedule is disturbed by infection, affliction, maturing, demise, characteristic fiasco or when an incident surprisingly collides with our life. Some portion of their life cycle, all people are similarly powerless against it. Buddha conversed with extraordinary shrewdness about it as do the Indian stories. For sure, most religions on the planet endeavor to address and comprehend this pervasive, certain human enduring that is both physical and mental (sentiments of significant futility, misery and gloom). Incomprehensibly, our very ability to reflect, to recollect our past and envision a future increases this affliction.

Buddha talked not just about the profoundly felt enduring brought about by major, troublesome scenes throughout everyday life yet in addition minor, constant, day by day enduring — offense caused inside a person by an exertion going waste, an unfulfilled desire or a botched chance, by the persevering disturbances inside social cooperations. In a roundabout way, he separated enduring by its length — present moment, wordy or long haul, ceaseless. The incomparable Asoka presented another measurement, certainly recognizing enduring by its source, by what causes it, as emerging inside human office or outside it. Claiming up obligation, he communicated regret at the huge and proceeding with anguish he caused to the individuals of Kalinga. He recognized how the misery brought about by a war he pursued started a chain response, making an ever-enlarging circle of co-victims.

The dim and awful Mahabharata additionally talks about war, a moderately short 18-day scene wherein monstrous human enduring was caused by one gathering on another. Accordingly, we may recognize types of human enduring by their (a) source, (b) power and gravity and (c) length. With these, we can home in on a third type of ‘dukkha’ — in which grave disturbances brought about by people become a suffering component of day by day life, as when humankind was constantly assaulted by the two universal wars.

Horrible pictures

Such giant wretchedness dispensed by one gathering of people on another or by the rulers on the managed may be called socio-political affliction. This indefensible experience, a result of different demonstrations of commission or exclusion by influential individuals in the public arena who do battle, force cruel monetary measures, purposely sow social divisions or work to serve a couple with no respect for the government assistance of the bigger, feeble populace, is totally avoidable. As of not long ago in mankind’s history, this foundational brutality and organized persecution was scarcely perceived the truth about: something not given to however made by people.

It is this man-made enduring that has as of late attacked our lives. It is instigated neither exclusively by COVID-19 nor by the choice to lockdown however generally by how the lockdown has been taken care of, helping us to remember Arthur Schopenhauer’s remark that “the world is Hell, and men are from one viewpoint the wounded spirits and on the other the villains in it”. Lakhs of destitute, shoeless specialists walking many kilometers under the searing sun. A pregnant lady conveying a heap on her head, or lying in a truck pushed by her better half; a mother conveying an infant on the asphalt and minutes after the fact rising up to reestablish her excursion or pulling a wrecked bag on wheels with a four-year-old sticking to it; a 10-year-old crumbling on the side of the road, depleted by the heat;a cart puller from Delhi cycling right to Bihar with all his family and common merchandise; scores stowing away in the guts of a dumper to evade the correctional look of the police, thousands spending unlimited evenings on the stage trusting that the guaranteed train will show up and take them home, hundreds killed on the railroad track or the street by speeding vehicles or trains, their food, blood and chappals thronw all over the place.

These pictures that have flashed past us are breaking, first since they show the sheer corporeality of misery — agony and injury, incredible weariness and depletion, presentation to over the top warmth, stomachs throbbing with hunger, dried throats, sickness and tipsiness; and second, since they display unendurable mental trouble — stifled anger, pain at the predicament of old guardians or little youngsters, nostalgia, dread, loss of poise, mortification, social dismissal, selling out, the relentless acknowledgment that you live with other people who treat you as dispensable waste, as trash. They all join to produce a far reaching assault on one’s personhood joined by a sentiment of overpowering misery that one exists by any means. We have been seeing here a concentrated type of what a large number of individuals experience every day in a few or another piece of the world, distinctly bringing into help that huge scope disturbances, for example, the current pandemic compound basic enduring of millions and point to the repulsive manners by which numerous social orders are presently sorted out.

Moral detachment

There is some kind of problem with this world, and gravely, amazingly amiss with our ethical lack of concern to this every day forswearing of mankind to other people. How could it be that we, bodily creatures, similarly powerless against agony and pain, permit others to encounter expresses that we won’t acknowledge for a moment? How might we acknowledge a procedure of self-development that just neglects to make us moral? By what method can a country be worked without sahahridyata (mutual sentiments, empathy)?How can a social structure exist that renders unnecessary those very individuals who put their life and blood in looking after it? Is it accurate to say that we are occupied with an obsolete ceremony of savagery which we know to be inadequate without the penance of the most valuable, the most imperative among us?

Oh dear, this ethical coarseness — the capacity to separate from foiling conditions, to not see or feel for them, hear or consider them — isn’t only a protective mental methodology to keep normal yet an imbued propensity, comprising what we are, a piece of our preparation since adolescence, a quality in our character. Maybe, it is basic to our picked, liberal way of life — one supported by social and financial procedures that begin in the painstakingly shrouded abuse of others. Without a doubt, a portion of these practices have an old genealogy — for example, the various leveled station framework established on abuse of basic others; others are a lot of a result of present day innovation and association. Doesn’t a typical irreverent string go through the remote control bombarding of regular citizen populaces, the sorted out hardware of destructive savagery, the catastrophic demolition of the earth and the auxiliary destitution of millions?

We are largely at fault in this grave bad behavior. However, this common obligation is reviewed. Those with more influence and riches, the individuals who run the state and the huge companies must bear more noteworthy duty regarding aggregate affliction.

There may have been when a great many people arranged themselves to a world that was minimal more than what Schopenhauer called ‘a reformatory province’, where life itself was seen as discipline, in which nothing untoward or unpredictable was found in the tortures of life. Common cataclysms and man-made abuse were seen as a major aspect of the request for things. This appears to have changed all over the place and in India as well, especially by the experience of the counter pilgrim battle and the energy of contemporary political majority rules system. Today an ever increasing number of individuals consider some others liable for part of their anguish and expect governments that are run in their name to take care of business. Undoubtedly, when suitable, they straightforwardly, freely accuse governments as well. Along these lines, individual residents and governments, be careful!

Reality of life trapped in social media.

The irony with social media is that it has affected most people in the exact opposite way. The general public has become less social than ever before. What everyone does nowadays is just looking at their phones all the time.

Social media has become the tool to compete, to portray your imperfect life in the most perfect manner. You want to post literally everything. Life has become a beautiful display of cosmetic products which are worst when used. It’s all about showing off on the internet because the world needs to know that you are the best. The norm is that you will be judged based on your Instagram profile instead of how you are in real. Well who has time to understand a person when social media can literally show the glossy life the person is leading, the last pub visited, last time they went for a run, the country/city ticket off their list, their milestones, the birthdays of their friends, the shopping they did, the TV show they are watching and you can literally watch the full movie they are seeing in the theaters right at this moment on their stories because if it’s not uploaded on insta than how will the world know they have watched a new movie or wait they themselves won’t believe that they have seen it because the whole time they were just busy capturing it to show it to the world.

Since it’s a massive competition now, You have to look flawless on social media. To capture that one exquisite picture which will be going online, you are ready to spend hours on a Diwali evening rather than enjoying moments with your friends and family because the world needs to know how you were looking. Social media can literally tell you who celebrates which festivals and where. So if you are not at home for a festival, you have to post #MissingFamily instead of actually connecting with your family and even if you are having a video call than everyone needs to look perfect and fake a smile because now a screenshot will go online. Editing is a must, you even change the shade of your arm to make it look whiter because everyone online is no less than a model.

You meet an old friend and all you do is click pics, talk about social media activities of your other friends and occasionally in between, check your new insta feed and WhatsApp messages.

The peer pressure is tremendous. This is the most dangerous thing because upon seeing the near-perfect life of everyone, the best office culture they have, the parties they enjoy every Friday, the coolest things they do on the weekends, the park they visited, the dog they liked, the sport they played, the wedding they attended and I cannot even start on the gym pictures but since everything is right there on your phone so your transition “from not getting at all affected” to “you also start posting the same shit just to show to world that yes you are also having fun” is very easy. Trust me, the things you do online due to peer pressure are higher than anything else, if your colleague is doing great things at work it’s okay but if your friend (Social Media Friend) is visiting a pub every weekend with the coolest people than you want that otherwise, you feel you are a looser.

People have created their own social media rulebook which needs to be followed otherwise you are considered outdated, boring, frustrated from life kinda person. Now is actually a high time to introduce a subject in school to teach the kids how to handle social media, How to handle the social media pressure, how it’s okay to not put everything online, how to have a life outside of it, especially how to talk to a person and have a real good conversation without checking your phone even for 15 minutes. But what about the people who are already educated? Well just learn it from your parents, they are the live example of how you can be happy even without social media.

Social media is good, in fact, it’s great but what it has become today, what it has done to people is simply dreadful. Blessed are the ones who are still not in this trap.

The biggest irony of all is that one is putting this post on social media.

MHA allows colleges to hold final year exams.

MHA order says the final exams are to be compulsorily conducted according to UGC guidelines. UGC said it is upto colleges to decide how they want to conduct the exams.

New Delhi: Students in universities and colleges across India will have to now “compulsorily” take their final-year exams this year.

In a press statement issued late Monday evening, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said: “Ministry of Home Affairs, in a letter to the Union Higher Education Secretary, today permitted conduct of examinations by universities and institutions.”

The MHA statement, however, didn’t clarify the mode — online or offline — in which the exams would be conducted.

“The final term examinations are to be compulsorily conducted as per the UGC guidelines on examinations and academic calendar and as per the standard operating procedure approved by the MoHFW (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare),” it added.

UGC also in favour of holding final exams
Following the statement, senior officials in the University Grants Commission (UGC) confirmed to ThePrint the UGC is also in favour of holding final exams, and will ask all states and central universities to conduct the final exams.

The UGC will allow institutes to conduct exams in the mode most feasible to them, officials added.

“There was a meeting of the commission members today and there is a decision in favour of conducting exams. The MHA and MoHFW have also given the due permission now and the universities will be allowed to conduct exams keeping all the social distancing protocols put in place by the government,” a senior UGC official told ThePrint.

“In the interest of the students and academic credibility, exams cannot be bypassed and institutions must have final exams. How they want to do it and when they can conduct the exams is up to them, but they will have to conduct exams,” the official added.

According to the minutes of UGC meeting, accessed by ThePrint, the commission will give universities time until September to finish their final-year exams either in offline or online mode.

“The commission approved the recommendations of the expert committee regarding conduct of final-year examinations to be completed by the end of September 2020 in offline/online/blended mode,” according to the minutes.

States, which cancelled exams, have to reconsider
According to a resolution passed during the UGC meeting, states that have cancelled exams will have to reconsider their decision and they cannot opt for internal assessment.

Many states, including Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Kerala, have decided to cancel the final exams for university students, while Gujarat, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh have been waiting for UGC directions.

India:- Medical Negligence, can it be pardoned?

Mediacal profession is viewed as the most devout and mindful calling among others. It is one of the most regarded areas of the general public and there is no forswearing of the way that specialists have been given assignment proportionate to that of the God. In the current occasions additionally, everybody is admiring these experts and hailing them as warriors in white uniform.

Nonetheless, a few occurrences put the specialist customer relationship in an air pocket. Because of some careless clinical experts the whole society is addressed and detested. Indeed, even the smallest carelessness of their part can be lethal for the patient and once the word ‘carelessness’ is appended with any clinical expert it is a major hit to the generosity of that individual.

UNDERSTANDING MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE

What is clinical carelessness?

The Supreme Court in Poonam Verma v. Ashwin Patel and Ors. [(1996) 4 SCC 332] talked about the idea of clinical carelessness and characterized as under:

“Carelessness has numerous signs – it might be dynamic carelessness, insurance carelessness, near carelessness, simultaneous carelessness, proceeded with carelessness, criminal carelessness, net carelessness, perilous carelessness, dynamic and detached carelessness, headstrong or crazy carelessness or Negligence essentially.”

A specialist can be held obligated for carelessness just on the off chance that it tends to be demonstrated that he/she is capable of a disappointment that no other specialist with conventional aptitudes would be liable of it, if acting with sensible consideration. A slip in judgment comprises carelessness just if an expert who is sensibly able with the standard aptitudes and has acted with conventional consideration, would not have made a similar mistake.

Legal PRECEDENTS

The expansive standards regarding this matter have been clarified in detail by the three Judge Bench of the Supreme Court in Jacob Mathew v. Province of Punjab and Anr. [(2005) 6 SCC 1]. In section 41 of the choice, the Court saw that:

“The expert must bring to his errand a sensible level of ability and information and must exercise a sensible level of care. Neither the most elevated nor a low level of care and skill is the thing that the law requires.”

Carelessness can be both a Tort and a Criminal risk. Carelessness as a wrongdoing has by and large an exclusive requirement. Under the misdeed Law, carelessness is built up to the degree of the misfortune brought about. In any case, carelessness under the criminal law is dependent on the degree or measure of carelessness. Courts have emphasized that the weight of building up criminal carelessness lies with the individual calling for it. On the off chance that a specialist has a blameworthy psyche and his/her carelessness prompts the foolishness then the individual submitting the demonstration will be held at risk.

In Dr. Suresh Gupta v. Legislature of NCT of Delhi [(2004) 6 SCC 422] the Supreme Court saw that:

“Among common and criminal risk of a specialist causing passing of his patient the court has a troublesome assignment of gauging the level of recklessness and carelessness claimed with respect to the specialist. For conviction of a specialist for supposed criminal offense, the standard ought to be verification of wildness and intentional wrong doing for example a further extent of ethically culpable lead.

To convict, in this way, a specialist, the arraignment needs to come out with an instance of serious extent of carelessness with respect to the specialist. Unimportant absence of legitimate consideration, safeguard and consideration or coincidence may make common obligation however not a criminal one. The courts have, in this manner, consistently demanded on account of supposed criminal offense against specialist causing demise of his patient during treatment, that the demonstration griped against the specialist must show carelessness or imprudence of such a further extent as to show a psychological state which can be portrayed as absolutely emotionless towards the patient. Such gross carelessness alone is culpable.”

A serious extent of carelessness is required to prove the claim of criminal carelessness under Section 304-An of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. For fixing criminal risk on a clinical specialist a unimportant absence of required consideration, expertise and consideration isn’t adequate, it is required to be demonstrated that there was a “gross carelessness”. Under Indian Penal Code, Sections 52, 80, 81, 83, 88, 90, 91, 92 304-A, 337 and 338 examine the law of clinical misbehavior in India.

The direct of clinical negligence was brought under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, by ethicalness of a milestone instance of the Indian Medical Association v. V. P. Shantha and others [(1995) 6 SCC 651] wherein the Court saw that:

“clinical consideration was characterized as an “administration” under this judgment that was secured by the Act, and it was additionally explained that an individual looking for clinical consideration might be considered as a shopper if certain models were met for instance there was an installment either for treatment or enrollment, or charges were deferred or it was paid by an insurance agency.”

After this judgment, it was viewed as that a few classifications of patients presently could bring charges against the careless medicinal services suppliers for remuneration under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. Offices and specialists that offered a wide range of assistance liberated from cost to all customers were not to be held obligated under the Act.

The Supreme Court in V.N. Shrikhande v. Anita Sena Fernandes [(2011) 1 SCC 53] saw that:

“18. In instances of clinical carelessness, no restraint equation can be applied for deciding concerning when the reason for activity has collected to the shopper. Each case is to be settled on its own realities. In the event that the impact of carelessness on the specialist’s part or any individual related with him is patent, the reason for activity will be considered to have emerged on the date when the demonstration of carelessness was finished. On the off chance that, then again, the impact of carelessness is inactive, at that point the reason for activity will emerge on the date when the patient or his delegate complainant finds the damage/injury caused because of such act or the date when the patient or his agent complainant could have, by exercise of sensible persistence found the demonstration establishing carelessness.”

In this way, the Court held that there is no sweeping technique to choose with respect to when the reason for activity has resulted the shopper.

Moreover, Sections 80 and 88 of the Code specifies the barriers for specialists blamed for criminal obligation.

As indicated by Section 80:

“80. Mishap in doing a legal demonstration – Nothing is an offense that is finished unintentionally or disaster, and with no criminal expectation or information in the doing of a legitimate demonstration in a legal way by legal methods and with appropriate consideration and alert.”

As per Section 88:

“88. Act not planned to cause passing, done by assent in compliance with common decency for individual’s advantage – Nothing, which isn’t proposed to cause demise, is an offense by reason of any mischief which it might cause, or be expected by the practitioner to cause, or be known by the practitioner to probably cause, to any individual for whose advantage it is done in compliance with common decency, and who has given an assent, regardless of whether express or inferred to endure that hurt, or to face the challenge of that hurt.”

The Korean split: History of South and North Korea

North and South Korea have been separated for more than 70 years, ever since The Korean Peninsula became an unexpected casualty of the intensified Cold War between the two dominant superpowers: The Soviet Union and the United States.

It all started with Japan and Russia fighting for control of The Unified Korea in 1904. Japan, using its victory took over Korea, having already installed a puppet ruler, Emperor Sunjong. He was the last leader of the ‘united’ Korea and also the last ruler of the Joseon dynasty that extended back 500 years.

When he died in 1926, the Japanese completely came into power and controlled the country. They attempted to erode Korea’s unique cultural identity by suppressing Korean language and customs. Tokyo even tried to enforce a law stating that all second names should be Japanese. This created anti-Japanese feeling among the Koreans which lasts to this day.

When the Cold War started, Japan surrendered to the Allies in 1945, eventually, the Japanese empire dismantled in Korea which led the Korean Peninsula to become the victim and it got split into two zones: The North and The South. U.S controlled the South Korea while Soviet controlled the North.

In 1948, the U.S called for a United Nations sponsored voting for all Koreans to determine the future of the peninsula. After the North refused to participate, the South formed its own government in Seoul, led by strongly anti-communist Syngman Rhee. The North responded to the action of the South by installing the former communist guerrilla Kim Il Sung as the first premier of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the capital of Pyongyang.

The growing tensions between the two separated zones led to The Korean War (1950-53) which killed at least 2.5 million people. The war began on 25 June 1950 when the Communist North Korea invaded South Korea. Almost immediately the US secured a resolution from the United Nations calling for the military defense of South Korea against the North Korean aggression. In the matter of days, US land, air, and sea forces had joined the battle. Following the US, China also joined the war favouring the North. In November and December 1951, hundreds of thousands of troops from the People’s Republic of China began heavy assaults against the American and South Korean forces.

The Korean War did a little to resolve the question of which regime represented the ‘true’ Korea. However, it firmly established the feeling of disliking for the US among the North Korea permanently, as the US military bombed villages, towns and cities across the northern half of the peninsula. Since then, there has been extremely little movement across the DMZ between North and South Korea.

South Korea continued strong ties with the west and developed a vigorous economy, and in recent decades has made steps towards becoming a fully democratic nation. Meanwhile, North Korea remained an isolated “hermit kingdom” particularly after the collapse of the Soviet bloc in the early 1990s and economically under developed, as well as virtual police state ruled by a single family for three generations.

Divya Patni

With the number of 20 lakh students enrolled in its university and colleges in the absence of annual/semester exams. The Chief minister Ashok Gehlot announced on that the examinations will not be held due to Covid situation in the state of Rajasthan. The Universities in Rajasthan are not allowed to take the examination before any order by the state government. The state government has the options to do evaluation should be done either on the basis of the exams that were held before the lock down or by the performance of the student in class in specific subjects during entire academic session that will help the students and everyone to face this phase. State higher education minister Bhanwar Singh Bhati said that, they were also examining central government norms for the examination and the changes that would be made the central government by the new norms that will help students as well as the state government to ensure this semester examination will be evaluated by the rules of both central and the state government. In the other states of the country, they are depending upon the internal assessment as the basics of annual scores that students had scored in their last examination/semesters. But, the state university has such a system leaving no scope for the evaluation on the basis of academic performance of students. In country most of the universities held 50 percent of their examination and will find the easy way to evaluate their marking on the basis of the scores of students that had scored by them earlier. In Rajasthan University, none of he honours subject was leaving a question on how to evaluate the students during this situation. It seem to be as a temporary relief to the students of Rajasthan University, In this period some sort of evaluation mechanism has to be developed. Awarding marks or percentage on the basis of last year scores theoretical and practical,”said by Rashmi Jain, vice-principal of Maharani’s College.

Wondered how to evaluate students who have not appeared in the last semster exams. “The government should have come up with some mechanism or any other way for evalution for the examinations. For the small classes with 30-40 students, even a teacher can create sometimes help but in bigger classes it is difficult to evaluate said by the teachers. Most probably the examination will be held online by a online portal or students will be promoted without giving any type of examination, that will help everyone to face the problems during this pandemic.
