Government Curbs Freedom of Democratic Press in Name of Democracy
No full textThe Freedom of expression is vital to democracy. No democracy can survive without the due importance to the media. Some heads of the democratic countries attempt to distort the interpretation of the freedom of the press to their own convenience. When they find the press a flesh in the thorn, they explore the ways and means to curtail the freedom of the press by all means. They, however, try to create the impression that the freedom, if continued to be exercised by the press, would be detrimental to the nation. The Freedom of the Press is guaranteed by our constitution as well as by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international documents adopted to ensure the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms. It flows from these guarantees that the people are entitled to receive news and views without interference and to disseminate it regardless of the frontiers and that it is an integral part of the democratic process. The Freedom of the press is the guarantee by a government to the press for its citizens and associations, extended to members of news gathering and processes involved in obtaining information for public distribution. In America this right is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution. Not all countries are protected by a bill of rights or the constitutional provision pertaining to the Freedom of the press. For example, Australia does not have any constitution related to the Freedom of the press. India does not have any exclusive constitutional provisions with regard to the Freedom of the press. We have the Article 19 (1) that addresses the issue of the freedom to the citizens of India. This also covers the rights to the journalists as well.

Beyond IQ: Student Assessment Practices and Options - A Study on Current Status of Education Industry in India
No full textThis is an experimental study to identify suitable assessment tools for student assessment. In the contemporary times, there are unlimited numbers of courses offered in education industry in the form of products and services by not only government-based organizations but also by different private organizations on the basis of “Intelligence Quotient” which is popularly known as IQ. Under the supervision of various private universities and government bodies like CBSE and ICSE Boards, various courses are offered in various segments right from Play School to Business Schools. The importance of education has been felt around the world and people are now more particular about it. Through schools and colleges, various products and services are being catered to by various private-and-social trusts, especially in India. According to the current scenario, our education industry keeps the whole focus on IQ to understand a child’s development. But for understanding the wholesome growth and development of a child, other factors are required too. The fact that IQ plays a major role in understanding the development of a child cannot be denied. However, our major concern, no doubt, is the 360-degree growth and development. This can only be achieved once we start focusing on the healthy mental balance of child as well as four other quotients such as spiritual quotient, i.e., SQ, emotional quotient, i.e., EQ, adverse quotient, i.e., AQ and creative quotient, i.e., CQ. As India is a country of diverse culture, it is required that our education system may develop with a “vision”. The fact cannot be denied that neither spiritual quotient (SQ) nor emotional quotient (EQ) is focus of the whole education sector. And due to negligence of inculcating these quotients into the character of a child, the problem of scams and corruptions has arrived. Not only in our political system but also in our economic system lack of these quotients can be felt. It is not only in India but across the globe that these deteriorating human values can be smelled. It is important to understand that at the end of the day who is responsible for all the wrong going around? Is it our society or the so-called “educated-section” of the society? Without a doubt it is an eye-opening situation for us.
