Delay in release of CBSE answer sheet copies hinders revaluation efforts
Hubballi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared Class 10 and 12 results on May 13, allowing students to apply for photocopies of answer sheets by May 27. Only those who obtained photocopies were eligible to apply for revaluation by June 3. However, thousands of students who applied for photocopies did not receive them, hindering their revaluation efforts. CBSE has now extended the deadline for revaluation to June 7. Students aiming for merit seats, scholarships, or fee concessions in prestigious colleges are anxious, hoping to improve their scores. Many are constantly checking the CBSE website instead of focusing on their studies. Supraja M, who passed Class 10 from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Hubballi, shared that CBSE said in its circular dated May 19 that June 3 was the last date to apply for verification of marks or re-evaluation or both. "For this, it was mandatory to have a photocopy. I applied for a photocopy of my general science answer book on May 26 itself. But I did not get the answer book till June 6. When we sent an email to questioning this apathy, there was no reply at all. Even helplines 1800118002, 7669886950 and other numbers published on the CBSE website were defunct. Later, they extended the date till June 7," she shared. Vinayak Kamatar, a parent, said CBSE was playing hide-and-seek with students. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "If CBSE extends the date, it should do it in due course of time. It should keep its communication channels active. We had doubts about our son's mathematics paper and applied for a photocopy of the answer book by paying the prescribed fee. However, we have not received the same till June 6, when the last date to apply for re-evaluation and marks verification is June 7. Contact numbers of CBSE Regional Office, Bengaluru are defunct, and there is no reply to email queries. The Union education ministry should streamline the same on a priority basis," he opined. Umapati Bandakeri, secretary of the KV Alumni Association, Hubballi, asserted that it has happened with thousands of students in the state and lakhs of students across the country. "On enquiry, schools are just suggesting contacting CBSE offices in Bengaluru or Delhi. Only a few schools are taking responsibility and writing to CBSE," he observed. K Ramesh, Bengaluru regional officer, CBSE, neither responded to the email nor was available over the phone for a comment.

800-year-old Shiva temple of later Pandya period unearthed near Melur
An 800-year-old Shiva temple of the later Pandya period has been unearthed at Udampatti, a village in Melur taluk. Professor P. Devi Arivu Selvam, temple architect and sculpture researcher, says that though only the foundation of the temple remains, the inscriptions on the culvert are significant as they reveal how the temple had been financially independent. While documents published by the Tamil Nadu State Department of Archaeology in 1974-75 had described the existence of ancient temples in this belt, most of them are in ruins and some have almost disappeared. So, it came as a surprise to historians when recently boys playing in an open ground at Udampatti in the Malampatti panchayat stumbled upon a broken stone structure covered in mud. The villagers alerted the Village Adminsitrative Officer (VAO) and Ms. Devi. With the VAO's permission, the area was cleared. What emerged was the foundation of a temple with the stone base on the northern and southern sides intact. With the help of the engravings on the foundation stone and Silpa Sastram as reference, the temple was found to have been dedicated to Lord Shiva. C. Santhalingam, archaeologist and secretary of the Pandya Nadu Centre for Historical Research, who deciphered the two Tamil inscriptions found on the stone base, says they can be dated to 1217-1218 CE, during the reign of Maravarman Sundara Pandya. The inscriptions say the name of the village was Attur and the temple was called Thennavanisvaram. 'It is pertinent to note that Thennavan is actually a title used by the Pandyas,' says Ms. Devi. The inscriptions are a sale deed of a waterbody by one Alagaperumal, chieftain of Kalavalinadu, to one Nambi Perambala Kuthan alias Kangeyan. The waterbody, called Nagankudi, along with wet and dry land, was sold for 64 kasu (coins). The four boundaries of the land and the waterbody that had been sold have been defined in the inscriptions. It has also been mentioned that the tax due to the land should be given to the God of Thennavaniswaram of Attur for its day-to-day expenses. For historians, these inscriptions reveal the ancient name of Udampatti, which was then called Attur, and also the socio-economic dynamics that were at play during the later Pandya period.

Learning three languages essential for cognitive growth
Languages are the lens through which we look at the world and navigate our lives. Without them, it is impossible for a child to cross the river of education. And with the increasing porosity of borders—both within nations and beyond— global citizenship is not just a distant vision, but a reality. It may not be possible to make good of it without multilingualism. The National Education Policy 2020 made a bold and futuristic statement when it provided for multilingual education through a variety of interventions. They include learning in Indian languages from K12 to PhD, learning more than one language in school, bilingual textbooks, setting up a National Institute of Translation and Interpretation, having departments of translation and interpretation in higher education, promotion of classical languages including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, and the use of technology for learning and translating. The NEP's provisions for language study in schools are further detailed in the National Curriculum Framework 2023 (NCF), which gives a roadmap for implementation. Note that the NCF uses the short forms R1, R2 and R3 to indicate the hierarchy of language learning. At the foundational stage (three years of pre-school and grades 1-2), only one language, R1 or the language used as the medium of instruction, is to be taught. This language is the choice of the state, but preferably should be the language the child is most familiar with. The child is learning to read at this stage, to be able to read to learn by the preparatory stage. In the preparatory stage (grades 3-5), a second language is introduced—R2, which can be any other language including English. Most schools in most states and Union territories are already following this.
