India gets a New Education Policy after 34 years

The Central Ministry on July 29 gave its approval to the National Education Policy 2020. As per the new development under NEP, the Human Resource Development Ministry has been renamed as the Ministry of Education.

The new National Education Policy proposes far-reaching changes in the system of education not only in India but also on an international level.

 

 

Starting from the foundational stage, children will be exposed to different languages with a particular emphasis on the mother tongue. The National Education Policy ensures that wherever possible, the medium of instruction until at least Grade 5 and preferably till Grade 8 and beyond also, to be in, the local language/regional language.
Under the new system, the Under Graduate degree will have multiple exit options. Students will be given the flexibility to opt-out of the course right after the first year. Students exiting a degree programme after the first year will get 1 Year Certificate.
If a student leaves the program after the second year, a diploma will be awarded and after completion of the 3-year or 4-year curriculum, he/she will be awarded the respective degree.

Further, subjects wouldn’t be restricted to students purely based on their educational background.

This means an engineering student could study a course in History while a humanities student can take Physics or Mathematics as a subject. This will be allowed in both schools and colleges.

Further, the M.Phil programme will be discontinued. Students can also do a 4-year degree programme, 1-year Masters and then directly go to the doctoral programme.

There will be a 5+3+3+4 system. Here, the first 5 years will be focussed on the getting strong foundational basics. Then the next 3 years will be focussed on exploring various subjects of education.

It is just a change in pedagogy and not change in the curriculum. From Class VI, students can also get access to areas like coding that will be essential for their academic future.

There will not be a difference between academics and extracurricular activities. This means that sports activities will be given equal importance as the other subjects like English or Mathematics.

As per the new policy, school students will also get an opportunity to do vocational education programmes from the Grade-6. Further, they can be sent to a local carpenter or artisan to understand their work patterns and skill-sets.

Instead of having different regulatory bodies like All India Council for Technical Education, University Grants Commission and other local niche entities, there will be one single higher education regulator.

This includes legal education and medical education as well. There will be an independent board of governors and a graded autonomy system will be launched.

प्लाज्मा थैरेपी के लिए आरएनटी मेडिकल कॉलेज में बन रहीं है दानदाताओं की डिरेक्टरी

शहर के आर एन टी मेडिकल कॉलेज ने कोरोना के उपचार के लिए प्लाज्मा थैरेपी को अपनाने का प्रयास शुरू किया है। इसके अंतर्गत, ठीक हुए मरीज़ों के प्लाज्मा से बेहद गंभीर मरीज़ों ट्रीटमेंट किया जा सकेगा।

आरएनटी इसके लिए प्लाज्मा डोनर्स की डायरेक्टरी तैयार कर रहा है। इसमें ऐसे मरीज़ जो पॉजिटिव से नेगेटिव हो चुके हैं और अपना प्लाज्मा डोनेट करने के लिए तैयार है उनके नाम जोड़े जाएंगे। आरएनटी मेडिकल कॉलेज के प्रिंसिपल डॉ. लाखन पोसवाल ने बताया कि राज्य सरकार की मंजूरी पर ब्लड बैंक में प्लाज्मा थैरेपी की पूरी तैयारी कर ली गई है।

आरएनटी के इलाज से स्वस्थ होकर लौटे उदयपुर, बांसवाड़ा, डूंगरपुर, चित्तौडगढ़ सहित संभागभर के प्लाज्मा डोनर्स को यहां लाने और वापस छोड़ने की व्यवस्था मेडिकल कॉलेज प्रशासन करेगा। प्लाज्मा डोनर ट्रांसफ्यूजन मेडिसिन के डॉ. भागचंद के मोबाइल नंबर +91-9982839503 पर सीधा संपर्क कर सकते हैं।

कौन कर सकता हैं प्लाज्मा डोनेट?

प्लाज्मा डोनेट करने के लिए डोनर की उम्र 18 से 55 साल के बीच होनी चाहिए।
डोनर का वजन भी 55 किग्रा से ज्यादा होना चाहिए।
प्लाज्मा डोनर्स में संक्रमण के दौरान कम से कम बुखार-खांसी के लक्षण होने चाहिए।
स्वस्थ होने के 28 दिन बाद से 4 माह तक प्लाज्मा डोनेट किया जा सकता है।

क्या होती हैं प्लाज्मा थैरेपी?

इंसान का खून मुख्यत चार चीज़ों से बनता हैं – रेड ब्लड सेल, व्हाइट ब्लड सेल, प्लेटलेट्स और प्लाज्मा।

प्लाज्मा खून का तरल हिस्सा होता है जिसके जरिए एंटीबॉडी शरीर में भ्रमण करते हैं। ये एंटीबॉडी संक्रमित मरीज के खून में मिलकर रोग से लड़ने में मदद करती हैं। कोरोना संक्रमित मरीजों के लिए यह थैरेपी काफी कारगर साबित हो रही है।

प्लाज्मा थैरेपी के दौरान कोरोना से पूरी तरह ठीक हुए लोगों के खून में एंटीबॉडीज बन जाती हैं, जो उसे संक्रमण को मात देने में मदद करती हैं। प्लाज्मा थैरेपी में यही एंटीबॉडीज प्लाज्मा डोनर के खून से निकालकर संक्रमित मरीज के शरीर में डाला जाता है। इसके लिए डोनर और संक्रमित का ब्लड ग्रुप एक होना चाहिए।

एक डोनर के खून से निकाले गए प्लाज्मा से दो मरीजों का ट्रीटमेंट किया जा सकता है। ट्रीटमेंट के दौरान एक बार में 200 mg प्लाज्मा चढ़ाया जाता हैं। डोनर से प्लाज्मा लेने के बाद उसे माइनस 60 डिग्री पर 1 साल तक स्टोर किया जा सकता है।

कोरोना से ठीक हुआ मरीज 28 दिन के भीतर प्लाज्मा डोनर बन सकता है।

COVID-19 can be Airborne: What is Airborne Transmission?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Thursday published an updated version of its scientific brief, Modes of transmission of the virus causing COVID-19. In this scientific brief, WHO has acknowledged that there’s a possibility that the spread of COVID-19 may be airborne and that the virus can spread in the air under certain conditions.

Here is the link to the brief: https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/modes-of-transmission-of-virus-causing-covid-19-implications-for-ipc-precaution-recommendations

Until now, people were advised to keep a distance of 1.5 metres since it was known that the virus can spread via droplets. These droplets fall on the surfaces, which is why it was advised to clean surfaces and wash our hands every now and then. This, however, has changed.

But, what is airborne transmission? 

Airborne transmission refers to the ability of a virus to stay in the air via droplets. These droplets are small enough to be suspended, instead of falling on the surfaces.

These droplets, also called aerosols are generally smaller than 5 micrometres in size.  While they remain in the air instead of falling down, they can travel further and can be transmitted via talking.

What happens if the virus is confirmed to be airborne?

  • Airborne virus can be transmitted without any close contact
  • It can travel through air currents and spread through air conditioning
  • Social distancing may not be as effective
  • Congested areas with poor or no ventilation may be breeding grounds for the virus
  • Public transport, bars, restaurants and other crowded spaces will require more intensive social distancing

However, the World Health Organisation has cautioned that this evidence is only preliminary and further assessment will take place. According to their statement on 7 July, WHO said that it will issue new guidelines about transmission in settings with close contact and poor ventilation once the research is complete.
