Even with delay, 11th admission process on same timeline as last year: Dada Bhuse
The junior college admission process this time around is being conducted through a Central Application Process (CAP) in an online mode throughout the state for the first time. This process has seen multiple delays. Originally, the first round CAP allotment of junior colleges was to be announced on June 10. However, it has now been pushed to June 26.
Responding to a question by the Indian Express about the inconvenience caused to students due to this delay after an event at Ganesh Kala Krida in Pune, Bhuse said, 'The delay has happened due to some technical reasons. But if you compare with the previous year, then the admission process is happening at the same time.'
This raises a question about the effectiveness of implementing an online admissions system across the state. With the state board results being declared early to facilitate early admissions, technical faults with the application website has led to the progress being reset to a timeline similar to previous years. Applicants have been left hanging due to the delay.
According to data shared in a notice by the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, a total of 60,487 students have been admitted from June 12-14 under the various quotas available for Class 11 admissions out of 1,13,078 applicants. These are the final admission numbers under the quota admissions, which takes place before the normal merit list admissions.
Of the total, 26521 students have been admitted under the in-house quota, 7,756 students have been admitted under the management quota, 26,210 students have been admitted under the minority quota.

Chhattisgarh's latest scheme aims to get stray cattle off the roads
With the aim of stopping accidents due to the presence of cattle on roads, as well as to strengthen the rural economy, the Chhattisgarh government is set to launch Gaudham Yojana, where stray cattle will be kept in shelters and locals will get paid to graze and look after them, officials said. This initiative will also promote organic farming, fodder development and cow-based industries, they said. The Indian Express reported last year that 404 people had died and 129 were seriously injured after the vehicles they were travelling in crashed into animals, mostly cattle, in Chhattisgarh over a period of five and a half years. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said, 'The Gaudham Yojana will protect livestock and generate jobs in villages. Breed improvement efforts will help cattle produce more milk and make them more useful for agriculture.' Shahla Nigar, Agriculture Production Commissioner and Secretary, told The Indian Express that the scheme would ensure permanent shelter for stray cattle, getting them off the roads and preventing accidents. 'It will also ensure they do not stray into farms, damaging crops. We will also provide training for the production of cow dung and cow urine-based products, such as vermicompost, pest repellents, cow wood, gonoil, lamps, tooth powder and incense sticks, and help market them,' Nigar said. 'In the first phase, gaudhams (cow shelters) will be established in rural areas located along major national highways,' the officer said. Each gaudham will be able to house a maximum of 200 cattle, depending on capacity. Under the Gaudham Yojana, cowherds will receive a monthly honourarium of Rs 10,916, while cattle attendants will get Rs 13,126. Additionally, a fixed daily allowance will be provided for cattle fodder. Similar schemes had also been launched by the previous Congress-run government in the state. A government source said, 'This move by the BJP government is not only an attempt to revive and strengthen the incomplete and failed plan of the previous government, but also a concrete and politically significant initiative aimed at providing a permanent solution to the issue of stray cattle on roads. The Gaudham scheme is expected to boost both cattle protection and the rural economy in Chhattisgarh.' These Gaudhams will be established only on government land with secure fencing, cattle sheds, adequate water supply, and electricity, officials said.

Bhuse's basic military training plan in state govt schools runs into hurdles
Pune: Education minister Dada Bhuse's plan to introduce basic military training in schools from Std I has run into challenges. Lack of clarity, differing opinions among experts and teacher associations, and inadequate collaboration with retired military personnel are among the hurdles. Bhuse announced the initiative in Mumbai in June to instil a sense of patriotism, discipline, and encourage regular physical exercise among students. However, there was no progress on the ground. You Can Also Check: Pune AQI | Weather in Pune | Bank Holidays in Pune | Public Holidays in Pune Lt Col SD Hange, director of militarisation for the state's ex-servicemen welfare department, said there is no clear definition of the role of ex-servicemen in this programme. "Many retired military personnel requested clarification on their roles and honorariums which the state education department has not yet addressed. These individuals did not receive training to fulfil their roles effectively, leading to a lack of engagement with the initiative among retired personnel," he added. According to departmental records, there are over four lakh retired military personnel in the state. Many of them, particularly non-commissioned officers and junior commissioned officers, settled in rural areas and are involved in various occupations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Bhuse's assistant told TOI that the minister was unable to offer a comment as he was busy in a series of meetings. State education commissioner Sachindra Pratap Singh did not respond to calls or text messages. Rahul Rekhawar, director of State Council of Education Research and Training, said, "It is under process." Meanwhile, teachers and education experts were against the concept of military training, terming it illogical. Mahendra Ganpule, former vice-president of the state headmasters' association, said that the minister's announcement was 'hollow'. "The minister did not take our views into consideration and made the announcement without having any outline or plans in mind. How can a six-year-old child understand patriotism? It is beyond his or her ability," he added. Retired havildar Tanaji Jadhav said no one will teach for free. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Kutch village's boycott persistence yields results; Gujarat govt approves independent school
The Gujarat government on Friday finally approved an independent school for the students of Bhuj taluka in Kutch district after the parents, as a boycott of the education system, withdrew 134 children from the Peta Varg (sub-school) in Bharatnagar Pul Patiya village, demanding a separate institution. The development comes in the backdrop of the villagers collecting the School Leaving Certificates (LCs) en masse, almost a fortnight ago, after repeatedly trying to get an independent school for the village with a full-fledged building, a full staff of teachers and associated facilities but in vain. The students had been studying in a decrepit tin-shed community hall, lacking basic infrastructure, in spite of the fact that this sub-school had almost twice the number of students than those enrolled in the main school of Ambedkarnagar Prathmik Shala (72), which is about 2 km away. On August 8, the Directorate of Primary Education, in a letter to the District Primary Education Officer (DPEO) stated: 'The District Primary Education Officer Authority, Bhuj-Kutch, had submitted a proposal for approval to turn a sub-school into an independent school at Bharatnagar, Bhuj. In this regard, an earlier proposal for the same had not been approved… the students used to sit in the lobby of a madrasa. The district Education Department informed us that the parents of the students were taking LCs owing to the absence of an independent school.' The letter said: 'As per the details of the above report, the distance of the said sub-division (sub-school) from the main school is approximately 2 km and at present, land has been allotted by the village leaders for the accommodation of the students, which, after taking into account the affidavit, the District Primary Education Officer will have to ensure that the school has all the necessary facilities. The sub-division (sub-school) is approved as an independent school.' The letter is signed by BD Bariya, the Deputy Director of Primary Education for Gujarat. The Indian Express had on August 8 reported how all 134 students had taken LCs. Earlier, Sikandar Alana Sumra, an activist and community organiser who has been at the forefront of the movement to seek an independent school for the village children, had also offered his own family property to function as a temporary school till the time infrastructure is built by the Education Department in Kutch. District Primary Education Officer (DPEO), Kutch district, Bhupendrasinh Vaghela told the Indian Express: 'We have received the approval for an independent school in Bharatnagar. We had received letters from them (the parents) last year, seeking a new school but they submitted the application late. The parents had raised the same demand this year also but the Directorate asked us to continue it as a sub-school. However, after the villagers started withdrawing their children… the head office approved an independent school.' When asked about the steps ahead, Vaghela added: 'The parents had told us that if they get an independent school, they would enrol their children in it. Now that we have the approval, we will begin the admission process from Monday.' Sharing details about the construction of the new building, the DPEO said: 'We have asked the district administration to take up the matter. After a new school is approved, we need to obtain land from the village, and construct a school there. All these processes are currently underway.'
