Let us take a vow to make a difference at all times
The Tamil Nadu Government has started a wonderful scheme wherein volunteers can register and offer their services for free to Government school students. In fact, they seek the date and the topic well in advance. In this fashion, the Government wants to overcome the problem of resources that can build Government schools.Various interest groups keep influencing Government policies. The State Government teachers of primary classes earn a figure of sixty thousand rupees per month. Yet, they want pension benefits like bank employees. who belonged to the good old days, when the pension was fifty percent of the last drawn salary, with some chances of increase when the DA goes up. For example, there are too many bankers who earn pensions of over Rs.52000 per month, even today. This is not possible for any Government to bear and the National Pension System is the answer. However, State government employees want the old scheme.
Naturally, resources for infrastructure in schools require huge funds and the Corporates can donate computers. The rich traders can chip in with resources in kind and construct two buildings or additional classrooms and so on. We need the support of the public for this purpose. The Tamil Nadu Government has started a novel scheme. I have already applied to offer my services as a volunteer for the social science subjects.
How this takes shape is yet to be seen. But a good beginning has been made and the Corporate houses are expected to chip in.
