<p>Well from Deepika Padukone’s video to Virat-Anushka’s vacation trip, from Modiji’s speech to Neighbor’s son’s secret affair <strong>She Knows It All.</strong></p>
<p>Who is doing what and who is with whom! Who wears branded clothes and who wears imitation jewelry! From Shahid Kapoor’s wedding to the neighbor’s divorce case…<strong>She Knows It All. </strong></p>
<p>Even the leading news channels sometimes approach her for some updates.</p>
<p>She is omnipresent, she is the Thalaiva and after Radio, Print, Television and Social Media she is the Fifth form of media.</p>
<p>So we went to this Indian version of Google to know her opinions about cameras that are found in and around trial rooms in clothing stores.</p>
<p>Recenlty Union Minister Smriti Irani had discovered a CCTV camera pointed towards the trial room of a high-end apparel store. She spotted the camera at the store and this has sparked a debate over privacy concerns at such facilities.</p>
<p>Now let’s see how our panchayati aunty’s react to this and how they plan to tackle this problem.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Panchayati Aunty:</strong> You know Smriti Irani went to buy clothes and found a cctv camera pointing at the trial room.</p>
<p><strong>Neighbor</strong>: Yaa this hidden camera thing is very bad yaarr!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Panchayati Aunty</strong>: I toh Check each &amp; every corner of the trial room before only!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/checking-each-and-every-corner.jpg" class='wp-img-bg-off' rel='mygallery'><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27670" src="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/checking-each-and-every-corner.jpg" alt="checking-each-and-every-corner" width="400" height="308" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Neighbor</strong>: I don’t have to work that hard you see my husband checks the trail room for me:p</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/A-bodyguard-001.jpg" class='wp-img-bg-off' rel='mygallery'><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27669" src="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/A-bodyguard-001.jpg" alt="A-bodyguard-001" width="400" height="240" srcset="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/A-bodyguard-001.jpg 400w, https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/A-bodyguard-001-250x150.jpg 250w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Panchayati Aunty</strong>: You know I toh feel very scared…so I have already installed a mobile app to detect such hidden cameras</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Detect-Hidden-Cameras-and-Microphones.jpg" class='wp-img-bg-off' rel='mygallery'><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27672" src="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Detect-Hidden-Cameras-and-Microphones.jpg" alt="Detect-Hidden-Cameras-and-Microphones" width="400" height="264" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Neighbor</strong>: Such apps are available in the market?</p>
<p><strong>Panchayati Aunty</strong>: Yess..Apps like Glint Finder and stuff are available.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Neighbor</strong>: Best option is you buy clothes from roadside stalls. There are no trial rooms over there.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Chosing-a-fabric.jpg" class='wp-img-bg-off' rel='mygallery'><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27671" src="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Chosing-a-fabric.jpg" alt="Chosing-a-fabric" width="400" height="241" srcset="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Chosing-a-fabric.jpg 400w, https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Chosing-a-fabric-250x150.jpg 250w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>No trial room. No worries</strong>. Plus you get to bargain A LOT!!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Panchayati Aunty:</strong> No…I’ll tell you the best option is online ordering. Ghar baitho aur aaram se shopping karo!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/indian-online-shopping.jpg" class='wp-img-bg-off' rel='mygallery'><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27673" src="https://www.youngisthan.in/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/indian-online-shopping.jpg" alt="indian-online-shopping" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>

<p>Nothing could have been a better move than this while commemorating the International Women’s Day at a national workshop on ‘women innovators for excellence in research and science winners’. Around 200 women scientists working in different laboratories had been a part of this workshop hosted by Centre for Fire, Explosive and Environment Safety (CFEES). Eminent scientists and the Director of CFEES, Dr. Chitra Rajgopal here stressed on thoughtful efforts for equalising the opportunities for both the sexes at all areas and fields, in all sections of the society as well as the importance of innovation and the environment required for the same.</p>
<p>Iraani, it seems yearns to make a difference in the rural lives with her statements and also through the Udaan project that has already been launched so that the underprivileged girls can take part in entrance and competitive exams such as IIT-JEE and IIM exams.</p>
<p>DRDO women have now the responsibility of motivating girls, especially from the disadvantaged sections of the society to help them realize their dreams and lead others to the path of intellectual freedom. “Some of the brightest minds in DRDO can interact with girls who are trying to take flight,” she was quoted saying during the workshop.</p>
<p>Not only does Irani wish to witness girls from the lower strata of society joining the prestigious institutes and handling leadership positions through her Udaan initiative but also wants the intellectual women of the research institute to make their significant efforts for making the ‘Unnat Bharat Abhiyan’ a success. This campaign has been launched to address the concerns that have been bothering women in rural India since a long time.</p>
<p>IITs and NITs have been dexterously working since last year when the Abhiyan was launched, to improvise upon the situation of the rural lives in India through advanced technologies specifically customized for use in villages.</p>
<p>Irani claimed that the ministry needed DRDO’s women’s support for their ‘Rashtriya Avishkar Abhiyan’ as well so that an interest is generated for science and mathematics among the rural population of the country, which had witnessed a decrease to a mere 30 per cent in the previous months.</p>
<p>Women scientists can truly be an inspiration for those innumerable girls who wait for miracles to happen to enable them to study at premier educational organizations along with students from other parts of the country and enjoy honourable degrees and positions.</p>

<p>People you know always talk about how expensive even school education has become and children from lower income groups are withdrawn from schools early on and those who are able to complete their school education have to face issues like less teachers as compared to students in class, insufficient notes and reading materials, old and out-dated teaching methods and equipment, and lowly-qualified teachers!</p>
<p>Well, now you can get the ruling party to address these issues whether you are living in the villages or are a young graduate or have reached some of the peak positions at a high-level corporate house/MNC.</p>
<p>And not in ten years from now but starting this republic day!</p>
<p>Yes! You heard it right! What NDA government’s HRD Minister Smriti Irani and her Ministry had promised last year with “opinions of those living in villages being solicited” is now coming true as the <strong>Government plans to announce the beginning to a New Education Policy (NEP) on this Republic day</strong>.</p>
<p>The education policies have not been changed since the year 1986 and the HRD ministry along with other political bodies and autonomous organizations has prepared this framework wherein opinions and discussions would be held initiating at the very grassroot level. Now people from all corners of the country will have the right and authority to voice out their opinion on the concern areas they have encountered so far with the current education system and how they think changes can be/should be made, so that only a handful of intellectuals/experts do not have a sole say in the matter.</p>
<p>The government now recognizes the need to introduce more innovative, research-based and quality-oriented education policies for a diverse network of people of the country with their even more diverse needs and perspectives. NEP will start at the village level, yes but will gradually extend to the blocks and districts, eventually leading to the state level. The opinions, changes and problems discussed and brought about at the state level will have a final review at the Centre where all state governments would represent their people’s mind sets, thoughts, views and solutions regarding the current education framework and what they seek for the future.</p>
<p><strong>So far, the government has come up with 32 themes where 20 are for higher education (University-based) and 12 are meant for school levels</strong>, setting overall parameters for discussion to initiate at each level. There can be alterations in the themes, if need be. The government plans to address the problems of limited reach and access to secondary and senior secondary among the minorities or girl children, and looks forward to imparting vocational education, reinforcing better learning results, improving the school examination system, focussing on better qualified teachers and increasing the knowledge of lesser qualified teachers, revamping language and communication problems and introducing innovative methods at teaching science, maths and upgrade the information technology teachings at school level, thereby attempting at a holistic education policy.</p>
<p>Setting better standards for school in terms of a comprehensive education and learning of a child will be done on a priority basis.</p>
<p>The higher education themes would include ranking institutions according to the accreditation, and will emphasize on improving the government or state universities by better skill trainings to students, offering technology-based and online resources especially for girl children and meting out solutions for gender, social, cultural bias. The public universities will now better integrate with private sector companies and industries by reforming governing methods with better and increased employment opportunities and innovative techniques in place.</p>
<p>Earlier the HRD Ministry launched a project called Udaan where Irani focussed on “providing free online resources to girl students of Class XI and XII to prepare for admission tests of premier engineering colleges” with special importance to providing special incentives and financial aid to 1000 disadvantaged or underprivileged girls every year, bearing in mind the low numbers in which girls enrol for reputed technical or engineering colleges.</p>
<p>Now will come the time when you can easily be a part of the system and change it as much as the bureaucrats, educationists, academicians and politicians to bring about a framework where maximum people including left-out girls, children living below poverty line and the minority communities can get easy access to premier education facilities and reach out to technology, resources and better fundamental exposure to take on leadership roles at quality institutes.</p>
<p>A very Happy Republic Day!</p>
