IIT Nursery In Bihar To Grow Into Super 60
 Programme founder and mathematician Anand Kumar promised as much to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday, when the two met in New Delhi. " I want to expand my programme to include more than 100 students. But the problem is in finding talented Class X students from the poor and downtrodden sections," Kumar said.  Unlike other institutes, Super 30 gives 11- months coaching only to students from the impoverished sections of society, free of cost. They are also provided accommodation with food. Kumar runs the programme without financial support from the government or any private agency. Since it was started in 2003, 186 Bihar students made it to various IITs under Super 30. To resolve the problem of getting intelligent Class X students, Kumar proposes to start a school for the poor -- so that the talented get the " right impetus" at an early age.

Bihar To Upgrade 2,400 Middle Schools To High Schools
Bihar has decided to upgrade 2,400 middle schools into high schools to provide thousands of students the opportunity to complete higher education near their homes, officials said on Monday.
By akansha, Section Educations In Bihar
Sources in the Human Resource Development (HRD) department here said the state government plans to increase the number of high schools in the state this year. At present, Bihar has 3,000 high schools compared to 80,000 primary schools and 22,000 middle schools. "The government will set up more high schools and upgrade hundreds of middle schools into high schools," an official said. Bihar Principal Secretary (HRD) Anjani Kumar Singh has directed all district education officials to identify middle schools to upgrade them into high schools. "Singh has asked that middle schools spread over 1.5 acres of land be identified for upgrading them into high schools," the official added said. After having improved infrastructure for primary education, now the government's focus will be secondary education, Singh said. "The government is aiming to provide a high school within a distance of five kilometers in the state," he said. In Bihar, there are 85,000 panchayats and about 5,500 panchayats don't have a high school, forcing students to walk a distance of at least 10 km to attend high school. This has resulted in many children dropping out of school. Source: indiaedunews.net Bihar to upgrade 2,400 middle schools to high schools Posted on Sun Jan 31, 2010 at 11:40:18 PM EST
UP And Bihar India's Top Two IAS Churners
Govt figures show civil services are a major draw for youth of the two states
The latest personnel ministry figures for 4,443 IAS officers show that while 671 ( 15 per cent) of them are domiciled in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar contributes 419 ( 9.4 per cent) officers to the service. Most of these bureaucrats are working outside their home states, and that is expected under the recruitment rules of the IAS, an all- India service. Although the figures include names of state service officers promoted to the IAS towards the end of their tenure, the data convincingly shows that bureaucracy continues to be a major draw for the youth from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The total number of IAS officers in the country is more than 5,500. Tamil Nadu ranks third with 290 officers, 129 less than Bihar, while Andhra Pradesh occupies the fourth slot with 269, followed by Delhi ( 233), Rajasthan ( 233), Punjab ( 228), Maharashtra ( 222), Haryana ( 158) and Madhya Pradesh ( 152).

State against Common +2 Syllabus
The Council of Boards of School Education in India (COBSE)'s proposed move for a common syllabus across the country for Plus-II students
By ugesh sarkar, Section Educations In Bihar
has not found favour with Bihar human resource department (HRD) and Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) which conducts the Plus-II examinations in the state. State HRD principal secretary Anjani Kumar Singh on Wednesday said the government will give its opinion when officially asked for it. But he was of the view that social science subjects should not be common across the country. "Subjects like science and maths could be common but not subjects like history," Singh said and added there should be scope for incorporating state-specific chapters in the history syllabus. Expressing similar views, BSEB chairman A K P Yadav expressed dismay over such a proposal. At a meeting of the chairmen of state boards in October, it was agreed that any decision on syllabus should be made with the consent of all sections, he said and added most of the state boards were not in favour of common syllabus. "In social science, literature and language, state- specific chapters should be allowed," he said. Patna Muslim High School's principal Hasan Nizami said education is a state subject and, as such, such a proposal of common syllabus should not be foisted on the states. He said different states have different cultures and customs and they should be passed on to generation after generation through education. However, Allen R Johannes, director of a few local schools, has a different viewpoint. "A common syllabus across the country will end discrimination between students pursuing different courses under different boards," he said.

The Central Government scheme will provide one-third of the capital costs for setting up the model degree colleges in districts where the Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) for higher education is less than the national GER (12.4%). The government has identified 25 districts in Bihar, 41 in Uttar Pradesh, 12 in Jharkhand, 7 in Haryana and 2 in Uttarakhand where the colleges will be established.

The upper limit for capital assistance from the Centre has been set at Rs 2.67 crore. For Special Category States, the Centre will share 50 per cent of the capital cost but with a limit of Rs 4 crore for each college. State governments shall provide the land free of cost as well as the balance amount of the establishment cost. The recurring costs of running the college will be borne by the State governments concerned. The cost of setting up the colleges have been estimated at Rs 2,992 crore and the Centre will bear Rs 1,079 crore of this. In the remaining period of the Eleventh Plan, assistance shall be provided for setting up 200 model colleges in the identified districts and priority will be given to special category States.

Money will be disbursed through the University Grants Commission and by the Ministry of Human Resource Development. Sources said the list include 62 districts identified by the minority affairs ministry as minority concentration districts where the population of minority group is over 20% on the basis of the 2001 census and have poor socio-economic indicators and basic amenities indicators.

IGNOU To Establish 400 Training Centres In Bihar
To improve educational facilities in Bihar, which has the lowest literacy level in India, and launch market driven vocational courses for its youth, the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is setting up 400 training centres in the state to train students and government officials.

The IGNOU training centres "will be equipped with computer labs to provide distance education through information technology to the remotest parts of the state", said an official of the university, one of the largest in the world. In addition, "it is estimated that during the year 2009-10, 25,000 government officials will be trained by the IGNOU," the official said.

Bihar, with 47 percent literacy - much lower than nation average of 66 - is ranked lowest in the country. "These programmes will not only enable them become competitively skilled, on par with the workforce of other states, but also help Bihar to significantly improve its Human Development Index," the official said. The state government signed an agreement for implementation of state sponsored projects with the IGNOU, called 'Samarth'. IGNOU has been chosen as the knowledge partner of the state. The IGNOU has been training thousands of primary school teachers in the state. Source: Samaylive.com IGNOU to establish 400 training centres in Bihar Posted on Mon Nov 09, 2009 at 09:49:13 PM EST

However IGNOU refuted the charge saying: “The collaboration between IGNOU and the Bihar government has been unanimously approved by the University’s Board of Management in its meeting held on Nov 19, 2008. IGNOU has had an ongoing collaboration with the Bihar government for many years and the University has the maximum number of learners from this state.” “Under this project, IGNOU has been chosen as the knowledge partner of Bihar state,” an official statement said. As per the statement IGNOU shall establish training centers at 400 locations in the state equipped with computer labs. “The project was finally approved by the full cabinet of Bihar as a sponsored project of IGNOU.
