Sixth Point of ‘Gujarat Praja Vikas Darshan – 2012′: Empowering the educational sector
The Sixth Point under “Gujarat Praja Vikas Darshan-2012” is dedicated for
the betterment of today’s education in Gujarat. We declare that if Congress is
voted to power, many constructive perks will be offered to the people of
Gujarat including laptops to all the students after Standard-12, Government
boys and girls hostels in urban areas, sports complexes at Taluka level,
establishment of a University in Tribal area, no sanction for school without
play ground and library, constitution of a special “Vidya Nidhi” for
scholarship to poor and middle class students studying in Self-financed
colleges, democratic elections of school and college students unions and
bringing enactment of special Act for payment of full salaries to teachers of
private educational institutions.
Free laptops will be distributed to all the students after standard 12th
till post-graduation so as to improve level of education from primary to
University level and to enable student of Gujarat to compete globally by
keeping them equipped with knowledge of computer and information technology.
The graduate candidates having knowledge of I.T. and computer skills are in
demand world-wide so far as employment opportunities are concerned; this
facility will be able to make them competent, globally.
No school will be granted sanction without playgrounds and library. At present,
the Chief Minister of Gujarat is cheating youth of Gujarat under the guise of
his stunts labeled with ‘Khel Mahakumbh’, under the ridiculous slogan “PlayGujarat, Win Gujarat”. Out of total 80 sportspersons from India participated in
London Olympics, 20 were from the state of Haryana and out of total 6 medals
begged by India, 4 went to the Haryana’s sportspersons. Following the Haryana
pattern, centers will be established at particular cities for different sports
and world-level sportsmen will be trained through comprehensive training.
Sports complexes will be established at Taluka-level for indoor and outdoor
games. “Gujarat Olympic Academy” will be established for motivating the youth
of Gujarat for participating and competing in national and international sports
events. Coaches from abroad and from within the country in addition to the
infrastructure facilities would be made available.
For providing accommodation facilities to the students who come to metro
cities from rural areas for pursuing their higher studies, arrangements will be
made by construction separate hostels for boys and girls at the cost of
Government for their lodging and boarding at reasonable charges.
The Congress leaders stated that during last 17 years B.J.P. rule,
educational institutes who are looting under the guise of self-financed
education institutes have been encouraged. In such institutes, standards of
fees fixed is beyond reach of middle class student. For the purpose of
extending assistance of such students from poor and middle class families, a
special “Vidya Nidhi” would be constituted from which Congress’s State
Government would assist the students pursuing their studies in self-financed
colleges. No student will have to abandon his study due to financial crisis. Fees
of 30% of poor and middle class students studying in self-financed colleges
will be paid from this Vidya Nidhi.
About 55% of vacancies in Government Colleges of technical education and
about 60% vacancies in higher education will be filled in immediately.
Industrial Training Institutes would be modernized and manpower would be
trained following the needs of industries. Skill Development Corporation will
be established on the pattern of National Skill Development Mission.
A new university will be established for providing students in Tribal areas
to ensure higher education opportunities at their doorstep.
Teachers working with private schools and colleges are being exploited by paying them meager salaries. For ensuring full wages to such teachers, a special Act would be enacted so as to see that such teachers can impart quality education in such institutions.

Students from rural areas come to urban areas for attending schools and
colleges, however, there is no availability of adequate transportation facilities
of S.T. Buses for them. Today, most of the S.T. buses are engaged in political
extravaganza of the Chief Minister. Congress Government will make special
arrangements of “Student Special Buses” during school-college timings.
University Grants Commission norms will be followed for administration of
Universities. The practice of nepotism will be discontinued in appointments of
Vice Chancellors. For enhancing scope of education, model schools and model
degree colleges will be established at every Districts. “Nayi Talim Board” will
be constituted in the State for management of institutions functioning in the
State on the model of Nayi Talim and Gandhian thoughts and provision
for special grants for such institutional functioning at present for their
management.
Appointment of adequate number of teachers in primary schools also for
quality education including English language to the poor and middle class
students in Government schools, one English teacher for each school and in
private primary schools of high standards also, the rule for admission to
middle class families on 25% of seats free of cost will be enforced as per
Right to Education Act, 2009
enacted by the Government of India. For easy availability of education loans, efforts will be made to coordinate with the Nationalised banks and cooperative banks. Pre-metric scholarship is not being extended to the minority students in the State for long time; once Congress is voted to power in the State, Pre-metric scholarship scheme will be implemented fully in the State and will be made effective from retrospective effect.

Since British rule, elections of student unions of University and Colleges
are being conducted in democratic way. So as to inspire values of democracy and
develop qualities of patience since from their age of students, elections of
student unions in Universities and Colleges will be conducted in democratic
ways.
There has been no consistent policy in the State so far as education is
concerned. Anomalies are being created by modifying admission rules every year.
Due to various affairs and festivities, teachers in Gujarat remain busy with
activities other than imparting education, as a result of which there is
decline in enrolment of students in primary and secondary education in Gujarat.
In Educational Development Index, Gujarat is ranked at 8th out of 20 States.
Similarly, out of 20 States, Gujarat is ranked at no.12 in respect of
school-going children in the age group of 5 to 14 years whereas, in the age
group of 15 to 19 years, the Gujarat is at the bottom – at no.18 in the charge.
There has been a steep decrease in the ratio of education in girl students in
standard 8 to 12 after passing standard 7.
This is just an outline of what should have been offered to the people of
the state. They are being cheated in the name of promises and high fees. Growth
of a nation depends upon the development of each and every citizen, rich or
poor. A good government tends to every person’s needs and that is what we
intend to achieve.
Jai Hind!

Better medical services … just a vote away!
Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee leaders today, announcing fifth point under their “Gujarat Praja Vikas Darshan-2012” program, which concerns to health of people of Gujarat, stated that instead of taking care of general health of people of Gujarat, the present B.J.P. Government has taken enough care of treasury of millionaires and has made worse condition of Government Hospitals of general health of common people. If Congress party is voted to power, it will constitute Gujarat Medical Service Corporation (GMSC) as an autonomous body and will ensure availability of life saving drugs at free of cost and will make available the medicines in generic form at every hospitals. Treatment of diseases like cancer, heart problems, kidney problems which has become very expensive, will be provided to the middle class people at free of cost and at negligible charges. Health Insurance Scheme will be introduced for middle class people with public private partnership model and premium for insurance cover upto Rs.30,000/shall be borne by the State Government and for additional insurance cover, it will resort to public partnership.
Government hospitals are in dilapidated conditions. Posts of doctors or nursing staff in village Community Health Centers and Primary Health Centers are vacant. Earlier, when Congress was in power, all treatment was being provided free of any charge at those Health Centers whereas the present B.J.P. government has made all health-related services dearer. Only BPL families are being provided treatment without any charge with the aid of Government of India whereas patients of cancer, heart problems and kidney problems are being issued bills for one lakh-two lakh of rupees. There are several instance of death which resulted due to lack of money for treatment.
If the Congress is voted to power, like in Rajasthan, it will also followRajasthan’s Congress Government and constitute Gujarat Medical Service Corporation (GMSC). In Gujarat, drugs are 15 time costly due to purchase of branded medicines for benefit of drug manufacturers. If those medicines are purchased in generic form, the medicine costing Rs.30,000 can be procured for just Rs.3000/-. The ensuing Congress Government will open stores for generic medicines at all Government hospitals and dispensaries. Due to this arrangement, standard quality medicines will be available and it would cut expenditure on treatment upto 70%. The survey conducted by National Sample Survey Organization revealed that after this arrangement of generic medicines, the medicines of same quality which was priced at Rs. 3,187 could be made available at only Rs. 255 in Rajasthan. Moreover, about 250 essential drugs as suggested by the World Health Organization would be made available free of cost. Civil Hospitals, Primary and Community Health Centers of the State will be modernized and doctors and para-medical staff will be recruited with full wages.
At present, storage and testing of blood at Government Hospitals are being carried out through traditional methods as a result of which, health of poor and middle class patients jeopardized. Recently, about 24 child patients of thalassemia were infused HIV infected blood which was tested through old technique. This blood was found to be HIV positive later on. This caused embarrassing situation for entire Gujarat. The lives of innocent children were endangered. According to present technology, blood is being passed through serological test and result of such test can be obtained after 17 to 60 days which is considered to be a very long window period. This technique would be replaced with Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) which is DNA test of blood directly and this would ensure safety of every citizen of the State so far as all issues concerning blood infection is concerned due to making available this world class test.
All efforts would be made towards direction of ensuring that “Prevention is better than cure”. For this purpose, Yoga, gym and naturopathy would be given priority. Yoga centres, gymnasiums and naturopathy centres would be opened at parks and public places. Alternate therapy systems like Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Unani would be strengthened.
Health of treasury of capitalists have improved thousand times more during the last 17 years Bhartiya Janta Party rule, however, health of the people of Gujarat has worsened badly. So far as expectancy of life is concerned, Gujarat is ranked at 8th in entire country with expected life of 64 years in Gujarat. States like West Bengal, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh are leading in this chart. Kerala is at top with 74 years expected life. So far as infant death ratio is concerned, Gujarat is at 7th rank with 50 deaths of infants per thousand in 0-1 age group whereas said figure is 12 in Kerala, 31 in Tamilnadu, 33 in Maharashtra, 35 in West Bengal, 41 in Punjab and 45 infant deaths per thousand is recorded in Karnataka. In case of death of delivering mothers, Gujarat is at 8th rank with rate of death of 14.8 per 10,000 deliveries. In case of birth rate, Gujarat is the 9th ranked most population increasing State with 22.6 birth per thousand population. In birth rate of girl child, with increase of just 3 girl child birth rate during last 10 years, Gujarat is the tail ender State ranked at 8th. In Gujarat, there were 883 girls as against 1000 boys in 2001, against which the birth recorded of girls were 886 in 2011. Thus, during last ten years, just 3 girl child birth could be increased compared to which, the States like Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Tamilnadu could increase the number of girl child birth by 48, 11, 10, 4, respectively.
About 55.3% women of the State are suffering from anemia hence Gujarat has been ranked at 17th in the list of States so far as health of women in the State is concerned. Though Government of India generously grant millions of rupees for health of children and women, Gujarat has been ranked to 13th with rate of institutional deliveries with 56.5% and is at 14th rank so far as safe deliveries are concerned with 62.1%. About 23.50% children of the State are victim of malnutrition and 45% children are with weight less than average. Human health in the State is worrisome.
Gujarat has remained at the end of chart so far as per capita expenditure on health is concerned, which is at Rs.270/- per person whereas said rate is Rs.1611 in Mizoram, Rs.1446 in Sikkim, Rs.1149 in Goa, Rs.884 in Himachal Pradesh, Rs.471 in Assam, Rs.454 in Kerala, Rs.328 in Jharkhand, Rs.293 in Uttar Pradesh. The Modi Government which has been very generous in draining exchequer with grant of Rs.33,000 crores to Tata and Rs.9100 crores to Essar, has no money to even spend Rs.500-1000 per person on their health. If Congress is voted to power, additional budget will be allocated on Health so as to meet with national norms for per capita expenditure on health.
Had the Bhartiya Janta Party Government paid little attention towards health of our children, our mothers or common people, our brothers-sisters or children would not have been put into such a shameful condition as they are facing today.
