Noted economist and RSS National Executive Member Dr Bajranglal Gupt appealed to the teachers to change their vision towards the world and start research in that direction. He was speaking at a symposium organised by the Delhi Adhyapak Parishad at the Hindu College on September 7. The topic of the symposium was ‘Eternal Values of Life’. Dr Gupt said Indian eternal values of life may be old but they are relevant and fresh all the time. “Indian wisdom spreads the message of eternal values, which look at the universe holistically and believes that all creatures are interdependent on each other,” he said adding that teaching the rich values in curriculum would help resolving many of today’s problems. Dr Vimal Agarwal, president of Akhil Bharatiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Mahasangh and Shri Jaibhagwan Goel, president of Delhi Adhyapak Prishad also spoke on the occasion.

Kisan Sangh wants Rajasthan govt to rethink over Land Acquisition Policy?
Bharatiya Kisan Sangh appealed to the Rajasthan Government to rethink over certain provisions of its Land Acquisition Policy which, it said, is anti Vanvasis and anti-farmers. In a statement issued by State general secretary Badri Narayan Chaudhary the Sangh however welcomed the hike in compensation amount announced by the government. It is to be noted that the State government recently amended its policy and ensured proper compensation in cases of acquisition of farmers land. This increased transparency in compensation and resettlement of the affected persons. However, the government made the provision of monitory and jail punishment for those who would oppose the government decision. The Kisan Sangh wants that such provision should be done away with, as it is undemocratic. —Bureau Report?
