The students of Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT M) made a show of themselves  by kissing each other in front of camera ; boy&boy, girl&girl, boy&girl.  The print and television media appear to be highly pleased to show the scene , that would perhaps help them in increasing the circulation /viewership.  Who cares ?

The above behaviour of the students of IIT M wiped out in one stroke the  fair image of IITs , shocking many people who thought that IIT students are the brightest of the bright in the country, capable of  maintaining  lofty standards in behaviour. The government of India has been spending crores of rupees of tax payer's  money in supporting the education of these so called elite students, , expecting that most of them would ultimately turn up as high class engineers and technologists contributing to the social and economic growth of the country. The expectation has been that these students will  be  trend setters in the building up of new and progressive India and certainly not part of kissing parade.

These misguided students say that they have been indulging in kissing scenario in support of the liberal life style, whatever it may mean.  It has not occurred to them that such uncultured and ugly behaviour will go down as a new low in  public behaviour in the country.

One wonders what has the Director of IIT M been doing and how did he permit this, particularly when it has happened in the campus ? What is the responsibility of the Director and the professors  in ensuring discipline and meeting the expectations of the country men about the standards of the students and culture in IITs.

Unfortunately, IIT Madras has been in the news for all wrong reasons in recent times. The professors of IIT M went on dharna some time back demanding higher wages ;  suicide amongst students have been happening in the hostels too frequently.

It is high time that the government of India should order an enquiry  into the affairs of IIT M , with particular reference to the above ugly behaviour of the students and the silence of the Director and professors.

Re: [IAC#RG] Fwd: DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR OF IIT M STUDENT

O tempora! O mores! Let's address this problem to the parents of the IIT-M students who allegedly indulged in the 'kissing parade'.  Let their parents answer whether their upbringing is that much and whether they sent their children to IITs for learning knowledge and wisdom to become responsible citizens or to shamelessly misbehave like this. If the parents do not own up and the students do not start behaving, then we can no longer treat our IITs as 'Centres of Excellence', but only as 'Centres of Decadence'. No nation can progress if its youth, that too youth in higher educational institutions like IITs, etc., is perverse and corrupted.

Re: [IAC#RG] Amendments to Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act 1971

Good views, but should be discussed in detail. Abortions shall be made lawful, but encouraging homoeopathic and ayurvedic doctors to do it may have a harmful effect. Law should be made who is capable of doing such activities. Kindly think well before taking a negative stand.

Proposed amendments to the Act have been put on the website of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for comments/suggestions by stakeholders and the public. www.mohfw.nic.in The proposed amendments include allowing registered ayurvedic doctors, homeopaths, nurses, ANMs to carry out abortions. Also, any woman can get an abortion on demand till 12 weeks and thereafter till 24 weeks under certain conditions. The effect of these amendments will have a deleterious effect on the reproductive health of women as clinics will spring up in rural and semi-rural areas with few checks for hygiene and quality of services provided. Such clinics will thrive on sex selective abortions which will be detrimental to the social fabric of the country. Time has been given till 10 November to submit comments. This is inadequate. I have submitted my comments which I am pasting below. Should IAC take a view? In any case individuals can submit comments to saurabh.mittal89@nic.in  Pavan Nair.

Dear Shri Mittal,

     Please refer to the notice on the website of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare regarding the above. I am submitting my para wise comments and suggestions to the proposed amendments as under. At the outset, however, let me make it clear that these amendments will have a deleterious effect on the reproductive health of women and will encourage the practice of female foeticide. The proposal to extend the date for termination to 24 weeks seems reasonable. The time given for submission of comments is inadequate and the amendments need much wider dissemination for discussion and debate. The purpose of these amendments seems to encourage the use of abortion to restrict births and encourage family planning. This is dangerous and problematic as a policy when cheap and easily available contraceptives can be widely distributed. Contraceptive failure is very rare. Nearly 80% of abortions being done in Delhi are for this reason. I have obtained this information under RTI from your Ministry.

Para 2. The concept of using 'health care providers' ( registered and trained ayurvedic doctors, homeopaths, nurses, ANMs etc) will encourage abortion clinics being established in rural and semi rural areas. To check facilities provided and conditions of hygiene will be near impossible. Not having a gynecologist or a surgeon present will lead to complications.

Para 4 (II). Substituted Para 2a. This implies that abortion should be made available on demand till 12 weeks. In a country like India, we have not been able to make birthing facilities available, how will it be possible for the government to make facilities for abortion available in rural areas? Obviously private practitioners will fill that gap. Secondly, sex determination becomes feasible at about the same time. This Section will be misused to carry out sex selective abortions even till 15 weeks. Who will establish how far the pregnancy has gone. The health care provider.

Explanation (ii) is redundant since the pregnant woman can seek abortion under the Para 2a above. In any case there should be a clause for married couples where abortion should be made available only if they have two or more surviving or adopted children. These amendments will allow a married couple to terminate even first healthy pregnancies on grounds of contraceptive failure after 12 weeks and on no particular ground before.

I am copying this mail to the Minister and a few others who may be interested. Please acknowledge receipt of this mail. Col Pavan Nair VSM (Retd)

> In light of above judgment , the award of projects and manpower outsourcing to NISG is against the spirit of Article 14. There are many other organizations like Ernst & Young, KPMG, PWC, Grant Thornton, Accenture, Capgemini, Deloitte, Wipro, TCS, IL& FS etc which offer consulting in area of e-governance which can compete with private entity NISG and offer services at competitive price to government departments.

As a responsible citizen I will be writing to CVOs, secretaries and financial advisors of all government departments to stop this practice. I will also request you to all to create awareness around the same. After all non awareness of the above CVC circular by officials will not act as their defence for violation of rules in first place.
