Regarding the introduction of the Police Commissioner system, It is a long overdue reform that is being undertaken by the UP government. One of the states that has successfully implemented it is Gujarat.

“Pareeksha pe Charcha”

PM Modi, it seems, is now a regular counsellor for children  on all  matters for their betterment. In his "Pareeksha pe Charcha" discourse of Jan 2020, PM Modi advised all parents to refrain from imposing themselves on children during the examination period. I think, all parents know about these aspects too well in the interest of their children .This is the mandate allocated for HRD ministry. One wonders what prompted the PM treat  same symptoms again and again through his famous : “Pareeksha pe Charcha”, a sub-set of  “Chai pe charcha” ?

A majority of  HRD ministers in the past, never cared to address these concerns. It is their domain. They lack out-of-box thinking. They have done absolutely nothing in the past, suggesting steps for managing stress among children.

Schooling must be made enjoyable to children. HRD ministry must take experts’ advice, draw up guidelines for implementation through its educational institutes. Let it conduct impact assessment studies , carry out mid-course corrections in sync with changing time. A one-time monologue may not help. Parents and teachers have many questions to ask. Schools and colleges must be encouraged to interact with psychologists and  professional confidence boosters. Just an unsolicited advice to our worthy, well-intentioned Prime Minister.
