"Debarred for cheating in exams".

In most of the states, the SSLC and HSC exams are on the verge of conclusion. For the students, a much hyped psychological barrier has been completed. This is also the time when we read news of students commiting suicides due to poor performances and news such as " the flying invigilation squad of the PU education department successfully caught 4 students cheating in exams .The students have been debarred for one year,said the chief of the vigilance squad". What a joke. I would like to spare a moment for these students who have been outdone by the alacrity of the successful education department's vigilance squad.

An impactful government scheme

To me this appears like an appreciable scheme.A worthwhile subsidy, since the people are benefiting instantaneously from it. Any corruption here will be behind the doors and will not impact the benefactors. People would still realise that there is a cost to everything and will not look for freebies.

Lalit Modi managed to put in place the IPL quickly because the BCCI is to the ICC what Congress is to the UPA government and the best cricketers in the world were made available to the IPL by their respective boards because of the huge amounts of money flowing in. Today the third auction Tamasha was unfolded where people were bidding for other people and splurging crores of Rupees to have someone on their team.All the team bosses spoke of why they bought someone and Mr.Lalit Modi gave his views on the future of the IPL and how to popularize the game across the globe. Roger Federer is the king of tennis today. The prize money he has won will feed the next 10 Federer generations. When the earthquake happened in Haiti he was far away on the other side of the world an...
