New Delhi: 

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will assess the students of Classes 9 to 12 on the basis of application of concepts in “real-life or unfamiliar situations”. Termed competency-based questions, the questions in the CBSE board exams will include multiple-choice questions (MCQs), case-based questions and source-based integrated questions, as per the circular released on April 22. CBSE’s competency-based education project is aimed at replacing the existing rote-learning model with a competency-based framework as is mentioned in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

UPDATE: Admissions are open at Manipal (MAHE) CLICK here to start your application.

The new pattern of competency-based questions will not be applicable for students appearing in the upcoming Classes 10, 12 board exams in 2021. This shall come into force from the academic session 2021-22 onwards.

CBSE on March 24 had also announced a competency-based assessment framework for Science, Mathematics and English. The assessment framework seeks to strengthen India’s existing school education system for the students and improve the overall learning outcomes.

Competency-Based Questions: Nature, Marks Allotment

For Class 9 and Class 10, CBSE has decided to introduce a minimum of 30 per cent competency-based questions in the form of Multiple Choice questions (MCQs), case-based questions, source-base integrated questions, etc. 20 per cent of the questions will be objective type and the remaining 50 per cent will be short and long answer type questions, as per the existing pattern.

However, for Class 11 and Class 12, there will be 20 per cent competency-based questions, 20 per cent objective type questions and the remaining 60 per cent will be short and long answer type questions.

The overall marks and duration of the CBSE board final examination will remain unchanged.

Moreover, to transform education towards an outcome-based approach and more competency-oriented, CBSE made Competency-Based Education as the annual theme of training of teachers in the session 2020-21.

CBSE to change Board Exam Pattern from Next Session, Number of Competency-based Questions to be increased

 CBSE Board Exam: Following the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to make some more changes to the classes 9th to 12th examinations for the 2021 - 2022 academic session. In the next sessions, there will be more competency-based questions. Also, there will be questions that evaluate the application of concepts in real-life or unfamiliar situations. Such questions will be part of the question papers of classes 10th, 12th board exams and classes 9th and 11th final exams.

CBSE New Paper Pattern 

For classes 9th and 10th, the CBSE has decided to add a minimum of 30 percent competency-based questions in form of Multiple Choice questions (MCQs), case-based questions, source base integrated questions, etc. 20 percent of the questions will be objective type and the remaining 50 percent will be short and long answer type questions, as per the existing pattern. 
For classes 11th and 12th, there will be 20 percent competency-based questions, 20 percent objective type questions and the remaining 60 percent will be short and long answer type questions. However, there will be no change in the overall marking and time duration. 

Earlier, in March 2021, CBSE issued sample question papers and syllabus for the 2021 - 2022 academic year. Students can check these sample questions to understand the pattern of the competency-based questions. Last year also, CBSE slashed syllabi of the senior classes by 30 percent, in a bid to make up for the academic loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As per the curriculum for 2021-22, those deleted chapters have been restored.

About National Education Policy:

The National Education Policy (NEP) aims to provide students with the ability to solve problems. The Board said, assessments should focus more on the learning and development of students, test higher-order skills such as analysis, critical thinking, and conceptual clarity, rather than testing their ability to memorise.

Why is National Civil Service Day celebrated on 21 April?

 National Civil Service Day 2021: On this day, civil servants dedicate themselves for the cause of citizens, renew their commitments and excellence in work. What is National Civil Service Day and why is it celebrated on 21 April every year? Let us find out!

National Civil Service Day 2021: On this day, the Prime Minister's Awards for Excellence in Public Administration are presented. In the Awards scheme, a large number of Districts across the country participates and the scale of the entire process is very large. 

As we know that Civil Service is the service that is responsible for the public administration of the government of the country. It does not include legislative, judiciary, and military personnel. Let us tell you that the civil service members do not take any pledge to any political ruling party but are the executioners of the policies of the ruling political party.

Civil Service word date back to the British time when British East India Company civilian staffs involved in administrative jobs and were known as 'Public Servants'. Its foundation has been laid by Warren Hastings and later more reforms were done by Charles Cornwallis and so he was known as the "Father of Civil Services in India".

Civil Service in India consists of Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), and a comprehensive list of All India Services and Central Services Group A and Group B. 21 April is dedicated to the Civil Service people to commemorate their exemplary services and to reflect back what they have done years back. Also, on this day they make planning for the coming year, how they have to work for their respective departments.

Why is 21 April celebrated as National Civil Service Day?

Its origin is related to the 1947 year when on 21st April Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, Home Minister of Independent India addressed the probationary officers at the All India Administrative Service Training School at Metcalfe House, Delhi. He delivered a powerful speech and empowered the Civil Servants to adopt the true role of national service leaving behind the past experience. In his speech he referred to civil servants as the 'steel frame of India'. The first such function was held in Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi on 21 April, 2006. So, since 2006 it has been celebrated as National Civil Service Day on 21 April. On this day the Prime Minister's Awards for Excellence in Public Administration are also given.

National Civil Service Day objective behind celebration

- To motivate and appreciate the work and efforts of Civil Service officers.

- Central Government uses this opportunity to evaluate the work of various departments under the civil services.

- The central government felicitate and provide awards to the best working individuals and groups.

On this day mostly all the officers of central and State Governments are awarded by the Prime Minister of India for their extraordinary services in the field of public administration. Do you know that the function is organised by the Department of the Administrative Reforms and Public grievances (DARPG) and Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions?

The 'Prime Minister Award for Excellence in Public Administration 'is awarded in three categories.

Every year lakhs of candidates apply for the Indian Civil Service exam for almost a thousand posts. But we can't ignore that civil service is the pillar on which the government-run the vehicle of policies and programmes of the country smoothly. The contribution of civil servants to society, the nation as a whole can't be expressed in words. Therefore, 21 April is celebrated as Civil Service Day to encourage civil servants for their immense contribution to the nation.

Ambedkar’s vision of nationalism had no room for parochialism

 Ambedkar described nationality as “consciousness of kind, awareness of the existence of that tie of kinship”, as this is how people come close to each other and develop a sense of fraternity.

Whenever I think of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar’s thoughts and his vision, his work for social democracy comes to mind. In his speech in the last meeting of the Constituent Assembly, for instance, he had categorically said that the caste system and democracy cannot coexist. That is why the Indian Constitution barred discrimination on the basis of caste and language.

Ambedkar drafted the Constitution with his able colleagues and gave a voice to the traditions, faith and beliefs of the country. But, in his vision, all the citizens of the country were Indians first; their other identities came later.

If we delve into Ambedkar’s statements in the Constituent Assembly, we find a unique confluence of politics, law, history and philosophy. In November 1948, while proposing to consider the draft of the Constitution, he explained the decision to call India a “Union of States” and not a “Federation of States”. I believe that Ambedkar was concerned with the challenge of social separation in India, so he said, “If we want to build a democracy, we have to recognise the obstacles in our path because the grand palace of the Constitution stands on the foundation of people’s allegiance in democracy.”

These views reflect his sense of nationalism, in which there is no distinction among individuals, irrespective of their caste and religion. There is harmony among all of us. That is why our nation is a classic example of unity in diversity. That is why the Preamble of the Constitution lays stress on equality and fraternity among citizens. Any nation is formed by a coming together of its traditions, cultures, religions and languages. Therefore, nationalism has no place for parochialism.

Ambedkar also explained this vision about India in a wider perspective. Giving importance to the land, its society and the best traditions for nation-building, he stressed that the nation is not a physical entity. It is the result of continuous efforts, sacrifice and patriotism.

He described nationality as “consciousness of kind, awareness of the existence of that tie of kinship”, as this is how people come close to each other and develop a sense of fraternity. In this, the idea of narrowness is the biggest obstacle. He clearly said that he wanted all the people of India to consider themselves as Indian and only Indian.

Ambedkar took three words from the French Revolution — liberty, equality and fraternity. These words included in the core of the Constitution also deeply influenced his political and social philosophy. That is why the fundamental rights provided by the Constitution enshrine the right to equality through Articles 14 to 18, the right to freedom through Articles 19 to 22 and the right against exploitation (Articles 23 and 24).

Ambedkar was also a pioneer in his thinking on women’s education and jobs. He believed that the progress of a community ought to be measured “by the degree of progress which women had achieved”. He was probably the first scholar who tried to understand the position of women in the caste structure. That led him to advocate for rights and empowerment of women.

Ambedkar’s dream for India was that equality should be established at all levels in the society. That is why he constantly emphasised on making society classless. It is intellectual poverty to associate him only with a particular class or caste. He belonged to all.

It also needs to be understood that Article 370 was also added to the Constitution against his will, which was abrogated after 72 years of Independence with the strong will and resolve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

If we go into the totality of Ambedkar’s thoughts, we will find the seeds of equality, unity and integrity. His philosophy of “bahujana hitaya bahujana sukhaya” and its belief in equality and justice is relevant today and will remain so in the future.

CBSE Class 12 Board Exams Postponed, Class 10 Exams Cancelled

 CBSE Board Exams 2021: The count has been spiraling in the deadly second wave of infections and this morning, India recorded 1,84,372 new coronavirus infections in the highest single-day rise so far, with 1,027 deaths.

New Delhi: 

The CBSE Class 12 board exams have been postponed and the Class 10 exams have been cancelled, the government said today after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with top officials to discuss demands to cancel them because of the massive Covid spike across the country.

The Board Exams for Class 12, which were to be held from May 4 to June 14, have been put off. The results of the Class 10 board exam would be prepared "on the basis of an objective criterion to be developed by the Board", the government said.

The decision was taken amid spiraling Covid cases in the deadly second wave of infections. This morning, India recorded 1,84,372 new coronavirus infections in the highest single-day rise so far, with 1,027 deaths.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were among those who have urged the central government to cancel the exams and prevent millions of students from being exposed to infection.

Arvind Kejriwal, pointing to the alarming rise in virus cases in Delhi, said on Tuesday: "Six lakh students in the city will appear for board exams. One lakh teachers will be on duty. Conducting board exams can lead to largescale spread of coronavirus... alternative methods of assessment can be explored. Students can be promoted on basis of either online exams or internal assessment. The board exams should be cancelled."

This morning, his Punjab counterpart Amarinder Singh asked the centre to defer the exams, flagging the second surge in many states.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi urged the government to consult with all stakeholders before making "sweeping" decisions.

"In the light of the devastating Corona second wave, conducting #CBSE exams must be reconsidered. All stakeholders must be consulted before making sweeping decisions. On how many counts does (the government) intend to play with the future of India's youth," posted Mr Gandhi.

His sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said it would be "downright irresponsible" of boards like the CBSE to force students to sit for the exams in the circumstances. "Board exams should either be cancelled, rescheduled or arranged in a manner that does not require the physical presence of children at crowded exam centres," she wrote last week.

A body of parents had also written to PM Modi requesting that students be assessed internally instead of having to sit for exams physically.

The India Wide Parents Association pointed out in their letter that teachers and students had not been vaccinated yet and there was a higher chance of infection among them.

Imbibe BR Ambedkar's Ideals, Contribute To Nation-Building:President Kovind

 "All through his inspiring life, Dr Ambedkar charted his unique path in the midst of extreme adversity and earned commendations for his extraordinary and multi-faceted achievements," President Kovind said.

New Delhi: 

President Ram Nath Kovind today asked people to imbibe Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar's ideals in their lives and contribute towards building a strong and prosperous India.

He greeted citizens on the eve of the birth anniversary of Dr Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution of India.

"All through his inspiring life, Dr Ambedkar charted his unique path in the midst of extreme adversity and earned commendations for his extraordinary and multi-faceted achievements," President Kovind said.

He was an ardent advocate of human rights, who set up the 'Bahishkrit Hitakarini Sabha' with the aim of improving socio-economic status of the people of deprived communities of India and for spreading education amongst them, the president said.

"Dr Ambedkar envisioned a better and just society and fought for it throughout his life," he said.

He wanted to create a modern India where there would be no prejudice on the basis of caste or any other reason; where women and communities subjected to backwardness for centuries would enjoy equity of economic and social rights, President Kovind said.

"On the occasion of Dr Ambedkar's birth anniversary, let us resolve to imbibe his ideals in our lives by learning from his life and ideas and contribute towards building a strong and prosperous India, the President was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

ज्योतिराव गोविंदराव फुले

 महात्मा जोतिराव गोविंदराव फुले (११ अप्रैल १८२७ - २८ नवम्बर १८९०) एक भारतीय समाजसुधारक, समाज प्रबोधक, विचारक, समाजसेवी, लेखक, दार्शनिक तथा क्रान्तिकारी कार्यकर्ता थे। इन्हें महात्मा फुले एवं ''जोतिबा फुले के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। सितम्बर १८७३ में इन्होने महाराष्ट्र में सत्य शोधक समाज नामक संस्था का गठन किया। महिलाओं व दलितों के उत्थान के लिय इन्होंने अनेक कार्य किए। समाज के सभी वर्गो को शिक्षा प्रदान करने के ये प्रबल समथर्क थे। वे भारतीय समाज में प्रचलित जाति पर आधारित विभाजन और भेदभाव के विरुद्ध थे।

इनका मूल उद्देश्य स्त्रियों को शिक्षा का अधिकार प्रदान करना, बाल विवाह का विरोध, विधवा विवाह का समर्थन करना रहा है। फुले समाज की कुप्रथा, अंधश्रद्धा की जाल से समाज को मुक्त करना चाहते थे। अपना सम्पूर्ण जीवन उन्होंने स्त्रियों को शिक्षा प्रदान कराने में, स्त्रियों को उनके अधिकारों के प्रति जागरूक करने में व्यतीत किया.१९ वी सदी में स्त्रियों को शिक्षा नहीं दी जाती थी। फुले महिलाओं को स्त्री-पुरुष भेदभाव से बचाना चाहते थे। उन्होंने कन्याओं के लिए भारत देश की पहली पाठशाला पुणे में बनाई। स्त्रियों की तत्कालीन दयनीय स्थिति से फुले बहुत व्याकुल और दुखी होते थे इसीलिए उन्होंने दृढ़ निश्चय किया कि वे समाज में क्रांतिकारी बदलाव लाकर ही रहेंगे। उन्होंने अपनी धर्मपत्नी सावित्रीबाई फुले को स्वयं शिक्षा प्रदान की। सावित्रीबाई फुले भारत की प्रथम महिला अध्यापिका थीं।

आरम्भिक जीवन

कराड में स्थित ज्योतिबा फुले की एक मूर्ति

महात्मा ज्योतिबा फुले का जन्म 1827 ई. में पुणे में हुआ था। एक वर्ष की अवस्था में ही इनकी माता का निधन हो गया। इनका लालन-पालन एक बायी ने किया। उनका परिवार कई पीढ़ी पहले सतारा से पुणे आकर फूलों के गजरे आदि बनाने का काम करने लगा था। इसलिए माली के काम में लगे ये लोग 'फुले' के नाम से जाने जाते थे। ज्योतिबा ने कुछ समय पहले तक मराठी में अध्ययन किया, बीच में पढाई छूट गई और बाद में 21 वर्ष की उम्र में अंग्रेजी की सातवीं कक्षा की पढाई पूरी की। इनका विवाह 1840 में सावित्री बाई से हुआ, जो बाद में स्‍वयं एक प्रसिद्ध समाजसेवी बनीं। दलित व स्‍त्रीशिक्षा के क्षेत्र में दोनों पति-पत्‍नी ने मिलकर काम किया वह एक कर्मठ और समाजसेवी की भावना रखने वाले व्यक्ति थे।

कार्यक्षेत्र

उन्‍होंने विधवाओं और महिलाओं के कल्याण के लिए बहुत काम किया, इसके साथ ही किसानों की हालत सुधारने और उनके कल्याण के लिए भी काफी प्रयास किये। स्त्रियों की दशा सुधारने और उनकी शिक्षा के लिए फुले ने 1848 में एक स्कूल खोला। यह इस काम के लिए देश में पहला विद्यालय था। लड़कियों को पढ़ाने के लिए अध्यापिका नहीं मिली तो उन्होंने कुछ दिन स्वयं यह काम करके अपनी पत्नी सावित्री फुले को इस योग्य बना दिया। उच्च वर्ग के लोगों ने आरम्भ से ही उनके काम में बाधा डालने की चेष्टा की, किंतु जब फुले आगे बढ़ते ही गए तो उनके पिता पर दबाब डालकर पति-पत्नी को घर से निकालवा दिया इससे कुछ समय के लिए उनका काम रुका अवश्य, पर शीघ्र ही उन्होंने एक के बाद एक बालिकाओं के तीन स्कूल खोल दिए।

विद्यालय की स्थापना

ज्योतिबा को संत-महत्माओं की जीवनियाँ पढ़ने में बड़ी रुचि थी। उन्हें ज्ञान हुआ कि जब भगवान के सामने सब नर-नारी समान हैं तो उनमें ऊँच-नीच का भेद क्यों होना चाहिए। स्त्रियों की दशा सुधारने और उनकी शिक्षा के लिए ज्योतिबा ने 1848 में एक स्कूल खोला। यह इस काम के लिए देश में पहला विद्यालय था। लड़कियों को पढ़ाने के लिए अध्यापिका नहीं मिली तो उन्होंने कुछ दिन स्वयं यह काम करके अपनी पत्नी सावित्री को इस योग्य बना दिया। कुछ लोगों ने आरम्भ से ही उनके काम में बाधा डालने की चेष्टा की, किंतु जब फुले आगे बढ़ते ही गए तो उनके पिता पर दबाब डालकर पति-पत्नी को घर से निकालवा दिया इससे कुछ समय के लिए उनका काम रुका अवश्य, पर शीघ्र ही उन्होंने एक के बाद एक बालिकाओं के तीन स्कूल खोल दिए।

महात्‍मा की उपाधि

जोतिराव फुले व सावित्रीबाई फुले के पुतले, औरंगपुरा, औरंगाबाद, महाराष्ट्र

गरीबो और निर्बल वर्ग को न्याय दिलाने के लिए ज्योतिबा ने 'सत्यशोधक समाज' 1873 मे स्थापित किया। उनकी समाजसेवा देखकर 1888 ई. में मुंबई की एक विशाल सभा में उन्हें 'महात्मा' की उपाधि दी। ज्योतिबा ने ब्राह्मण-पुरोहित के बिना ही विवाह-संस्कार आरम्भ कराया और इसे मुंबई हाईकोर्ट से भी मान्यता मिली। वे बाल-विवाह विरोधी और विधवा-विवाह के समर्थक थे। अपने जीवन काल में उन्होंने कई पुस्तकें भी लिखीं-गुलामगिरी, तृतीय रत्न, छत्रपति शिवाजी, राजा भोसला का पखड़ा, किसान का कोड़ा, अछूतों की कैफियत. महात्मा ज्योतिबा व उनके संगठन के संघर्ष के कारण सरकार ने ‘एग्रीकल्चर एक्ट’ पास किया। धर्म, समाज और परम्पराओं के सत्य को सामने लाने हेतु उन्होंने अनेक पुस्तकें भी लिखी.

• ब्रिटिश सरकार द्वारा उपाधि: १८८३ में स्री यो को शिक्षा प्रदान कराने के महान कार्य के लिए उन्हें तत्कालीन ब्रिटिश भारत सरकार द्वारा "स्त्री शिक्षण के आद्यजनक" कहकर गौरव किया।
