Power connection breathes life into Ramsing Chapori school
Guwahati: In the heart of Ramsing Chapori, nestled along the winding Bonda's Chapaidong road in Assam's Kamrup (Metro) district, a wave of joy and swept through the village on Friday as the community school finally got electrified after years of darkness. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Ramsingh Narjagaran Primary School, once known as LP Kamakhya Hindi School, was established in 1997. For decades, it stood as a testament to resilience, operating without electricity and lacking even the most basic infrastructure. The school, with its crumbling walls and empty classrooms, was a silent witness to the dreams of children who yearned for a better future. "The entire area was in a very poor condition," recalled Dhrubajit Kakoti, the sub-divisional officer of Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL), Narengi. "There was no scope for establishing an electricity connection for the school, and the residents hadn't applied for one either." It wasn't until 2017 that the electrification process began in the village, a slow but steady march towards progress that finally reached completion in 2022. But the school got power connection on Friday. For villagers like Santosh Mahato, the school was more than just a building; it was a symbol of hope. Yet, it was a hope that seemed to dim with each passing year. The school, which now serves around 40 students, once lacked even the most basic facilities. Students endured harsh conditions, their education a daily struggle. This led to dwindling attendance and a mass exodus of teachers, leaving the school a shell of its former self. "The villagers had been taking care of the institution," Mahato explained, "but without a proper system and govt recognition, the school became a hub for anti-social activities." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Munshilal Mahato, a former teacher, shared the heartache of watching the school decline. "There were once hundreds of students," he reminisced, "but they began leaving for nearby private and govt schools, three to four kilometers away, due to the lack of a proper system. Eventually, the school became just a remnant of the villagers' efforts and had to be shut." But the spirit of the villagers is unyielding. They are determined to breathe new life into their beloved school. In partnership with a local NGO, they are working tirelessly to rebuild the school's infrastructure and create a nurturing learning environment. Their vision includes additional classrooms, upgraded facilities, and the introduction of smart classes with digital learning tools. These efforts aim to make the school eligible for govt recognition and better suited to meet the needs of its students. The school, which began as a Hindi-medium institution founded by Rambahadur Mahato and Bijli Mahato, has since transitioned to an Assamese medium, reflecting the community's commitment to preserving their local language and culture. As the first flicker of electricity illuminates the school, it symbolizes more than just light; it represents a new dawn for Ramsing chapari, a promise of brighter days ahead for the children and the community that holds them dear.

Reunion After 15 Years, Then Disaster: Couple, 2 Children Killed In Crash
The brother remembers it as a perfect celebration. All four siblings had gathered in Ahmedabad with their families to celebrate Eid al-Adha with their mother and it was a reunion that had been awaited for 15 years. That was last Friday. Less than a week later, the family's world came crashing around them. 37-year-old Javed, his wife Maryam, their five-year-old son and four-year-old daughter were among the 242 people aboard Air India flight AI 171, which crashed into a building in Ahmedabad on Thursday. Javed's mother, who is a heart patient and was slated to undergo a surgery soon, has still not been told that she has lost not just her son, but her daughter-in-law and two young grandchildren. Speaking to NDTV on Friday at the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, where samples are being collected to carry out DNA tests to identify the victims, Javed's brother, Imtiaz, said the family is devastated. "He was my brother. He had come to Ahmedabad to celebrate a happy moment. Now we have lost four family members. Who is responsible for this? Over 240 people have died. Will we keep losing people from our families... The plane had just taken off and crashed in a few seconds, how can this happen?" he asked. Javed, Imtiaz said, had gone to the UK to study 11 years ago, met Maryam there and eventually became a British citizen. "Javed had come here to celebrate Eid with our mother. She has stents in her heart and another was supposed to be inserted in two weeks. We are four brothers and sisters and have not gathered together for 15 years. Sometimes two of us would meet, sometimes three. This time, all of us got together and met our mother. Everything was perfect, just perfect," he said in Hindi. Asked whether their mother had been informed about the deaths, Imtiaz's brother said, "She hasn't been told yet. She has heart issues. We have told her that an investigation is on, she has probably been told they have been admitted to a hospital." "There's a pall of gloom over the family. They had two small children with them. I am sure you can understand..." he trailed off. Wait For Body Imtiaz said he had given his blood sample to identify Javed's body on Thursday night. "I have been searching every hospital, hoping some mistake had been made with the names and they are there. We are being told the bodies have been charred beyond recognition, which I am not being able to accept. Only once the DNA report comes will we know... We are being told we will be given the report by Sunday, I wonder how they will do that for so many people by then," he said. Of the 242 passengers on the plane, 241 were killed. At least 10 people also died at the BJ Medical College in Ahmedabad's Meghani Nagar, where the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed.

A balanced approach to teaching in the mother tongue
Language plays a crucial role in human learning. The most obvious choice is an individual's native language, often referred to in linguistic studies as the first language. This was once central to the Indian tradition where students received their education in gurukuls. In the emerging global landscape, preferences have shifted. English has become the preferred language to secure employment in nearly every field. It serves as the language of science and technology, as well as legal and banking systems, international (and even national) communication, higher education, travel, and media entertainment. It is essential to convey our culture and traditions to others. Thus, it has established itself as the language of individual opportunity. Most parents, given the resources available, prefer to educate their children in English-medium schools. This has led to the emergence of a number of English-medium schools, even in rural areas across the country, although their effectiveness remains questionable. The pressure to provide education in English has compelled most states in India to offer English-medium education in all schools within their jurisdictions. Challenges in implementation However, a new challenge has emerged with the CBSE directive to educate all children at the primary level in their mother tongue. This aligns with the vision of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework 2023, which provide comprehensive guidelines for school education in India. Although the concept is highly appealing, significant challenges remain in implementing the shift from English to the mother tongue or a familiar regional language. Regarding the mother tongue, the 2001 Census of India identified 122 languages spoken by over 10,000 individuals, of which 22 have been granted constitutional status through their inclusion in Schedule VIII of the Constitution. The Constitution recognises Hindi as the official language for communication between the Union and the States, while English is designated as an 'associate' official language in states that have not adopted Hindi as their official language. It mandates that the State provide primary education in the mother tongue, and students are expected to learn three languages in accordance with the graded 'three-language formula' policy, recommended by the National Commission on Education from 1964 to 1966, which was integrated into the National Education Policies of 1968 and 1986. As a language educator and assessor, I have found that most teachers employed to teach English at the primary or even middle-school level are not trained English language teachers. Instead, English is taught by Social Science teachers, many of whom possess questionable English language skills themselves. Consequently, students rarely acquire any communicative English language skills. However, parents often harbour a false sense of security, which stems from sending their children to English-medium schools. Currently, many education departments and the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs) are preparing to offer elementary education in the mother tongue. Identifying the mother tongue poses a significant challenge, particularly in cities where many residents come from diverse linguistic backgrounds. In such situations, even after conducting a census of the mother tongues that children identify with, will there be sufficient teachers who can teach all subjects in the mother tongue? These issues have contributed to the failure of the three-language formula. Positive feelings cannot become reality without meticulous planning and practical action. Periodically, we implement significant changes to the National Education Policy, disadvantaging numerous students who are at crucial stages of their schooling, only to realise later that the mission has not succeeded. Education must be grounded in reality; it is a nation-building endeavour with the potential to elevate us. But this is achievable only when we distance ourselves from political sloganeering and concentrate on actual needs. The mother tongue is important, as is the English language. No language should be taught at the expense of another. Our mother tongue imparts our cultural values and shapes our worldview. It is easy to grasp the subject matter and concepts, as well as to learn foundational skills in our first language, provided that suitable learning materials are available. A global language like English serves as a window to the world, offering better access to lesson-related resources on the Internet and beyond. A balanced bilingual approach would yield benefits if we recognise the potential of both languages and impart the necessary linguistic skills accordingly, based on circumstances and available resources. The writer is Anil Sarwal, a retired Associate Professor of English.
