Three-language formula is unviable Implementation of the three-language policy, introduced as part of NEP 2020, looks seemingly difficult. Introduced to foster multilingualism among children, the formula, despite its good intentions, is hardly finding many takers due to a multitude of reasons. It calls for introduction of Hindi as a third language in non-Hindi speaking States. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have already expressed their dissent as they feel Hindi is being imposed on them. There are problems of a different kind in other States. For instance, in West Bengal, where the third language is introduced as a subject from Class 5, there are very few Hindi language teachers. In Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Urdu and Sanskrit are offered as third language choices. Many states are suffering from a dearth of proficient third language teachers. Schools prioritise English and their regional language instead of investing in third language teachers. Meanwhile, rural schools and government schools lack funds to print third language textbooks. Though the policy looks good on paper, its implementation is quite difficult, given the linguistic and regional divide in a multilingual country like India. Parimala G Tadas , Madinaguda, Hyderabad-50 Promises remain unmet in AP The recent survey by People's Pulse Research Organisation highlights the NDA government's first year in office in Andhra Pradesh as a mixed bag. Despite cooperation from the central government, the state's economic progress has been modest, while several public expectations remain unmet. The government's claims of being 'good' are not shared by the people. Unfulfilled promises, such as the 'Super Six' employment guarantees and farmer welfare schemes, have caused dissatisfaction, all over. The ruling coalition's 'Red Book' culture is widely resented. The people desire welfare and development to proceed in a coordinated manner. It's time for the government to deliver on its promises and address the growing concerns about regional disparities and inequality. Raju Kolluru, Kakinada GHMC must spring to action People from both Hyderabad and Secunderabad are subject to avoidable agony on an everyday basis. The civic authorities are flooded with countless complaints, especially regarding problems pertaining to inundation and waterlogging, drainage, lighting, roads and footpaths, water supply, heaps of garbage in colonies and on the roads, and sewerage, among others. I request the GHMC authorities to sort out all such issues by coming up with permanent solutions. First and foremost, the city needs underground drainage lines that can help avoid leakages and blockages, following which even roads would turn safer. Every traffic junction should have zebra crossings and digital indications, and transmission lines must be duly insulated. Citizens from every locality bear the brunt of this sorry plight, which gets worse in the rainy season. The onus is on the authorities to bring respite to the people. G Murali Mohan Rao , New Bowenpalli, Secunderabad-11 Alarm bells ringing after US strikes Alarm bells are ringing all over the world in the wake of a brazen US attack on Iranian nuclear processing sites, which were close to making atom bombs in the not distant future. Israel is naturally happy about the development as the country knows that once the bombs are ready, there is no telling into whose hands these nuclear arsenals would fall into. Targetting the nuclear research facilities across Iran has been a long pending strategic military ambition of Israel, which hopes to pre-empt Iran from fabricating nuclear bombs as the first target would be Israel. In the meanwhile, Iran had claimed that its nuclear program was entirely for peaceful purposes, and they had no intention, whatsoever, to fabricate bombs as claimed by the US and Israel. Meanwhile, many EU countries have been sharing similar concerns and are happy that Iran's nuclear bomb making program is stalled for the moment. S Lakshmi, Hyderabad

Education should empower learners The Indian education system is 'on the cusp of a revolution' with the integration of technology and AI in classrooms. The pandemic has been a 'blessing in disguise,' accelerating the adoption of digital learning tools and hybrid models. As we 'reinvent the wheel' of education, let's focus on creating student-centric, interactive, and inclusive learning experiences. With initiatives like Digital India and e-Basta, we're 'paving the way' for a brighter future. Let's 'seize the day' and work towards nurturing confident, autonomous learners who can thrive in an ever-evolving world. Sridevi Tejaswani K, Secunderabad Fee regulation policy, an absolute must The new academic year 2025 - 26 is scheduled to begin from June 12 .Schools have hiked their Fees, with many elite and private schools almost doubling their tuition fees .even medium and budget schools have increased their annual fees. Schools flout all norms and are fleecing the parents by collecting huge amounts as tuition fees ,transport fees ,library fees ,sports fees ,cultural fees etc without any explanation and justification. The Hyderabad Schools Parents Association has been protesting every year against the hike but it is of no avail .It is high time the Telangana government forms a Fee Regulatory Committee and has a Fee Regulation Policy in place .Many corporate schools in Hyderabad lack playgrounds and are run from small cramped buildings ,but yet charge exorbitant fees. Schools should be surveyed and fees fixed based on their infrastructure and facilities offered like a well-equipped library ,labs, playgrounds ,extracurricular activities and a trained faculty .Schools should be categorized into Tier 1,2 and Tier 3 Schools based on the survey and Govt itself should fix the Fees based on the observations and findings . Hope at least this year , we have a fee regulation policy and any school not following the guidelines should be warned strictly by our Education dept .Unless we have such measures in place ,schools will continue to make money and commercialise education Parimala G Tadas, Hyderabad Pakistan cannot play dirty with India Operation Sindoor proved a decisive turning point in India's tolerance in the face of Pakistan's perpetual needling and provocations by way of cross border terrorism and mindless jihadi violence in the Kashmir Valley through proxies for so long. India has been paying back effectively for every provocation by Pakistan but the shameless acts of terror by that country continued unabated to attack the innocent civilians who come to admire and enjoy the natural beauty of Kashmir at Pahalgam, which was the last straw. The new terms that are dictated by India, coupled with choking of water supply of Indus waters to Pakistan, along with a firm statement that terror and talks cannot go hand in hand; and there is no scope for trade or ties with that country as told by the Prime Minister Narendra told in Jaipur, echoed the sentiments of Indians – not yielding to any external pressure for the ceasefire between the two countries. K V Raghuram, Wayanad Naxal-infested areas need quick development As India has been facing internal war waged by self-styled Maoists for more than four decades with no respite, elimination of the most wanted top Maoist leader Basavaraju carrying a bounty on his head along with 26 others in an encounter in Chhattisgarh is a morale-booster for security forces even as government comes within striking distance of putting an end to this menace. Since the latest strike coming close on the heels of Operation Black Forest that resulted in the arrest of 54 Naxals and surrender of 84 others goes to reveal government's assault on their strongholds gaining increasing momentum have been successful, it reinforces the statement by the Centre to get rid of naxal menace by March next year. It is time, government fast-track development in the naxal-infested areas on a war-footing by taking the local people into confidence so that Maoists find no takers for their ideology which rests on violence, looting and killing.
