Challenges of this 'single student'
We have heard of single-teacher schools. But what about six teachers teaching one student?
Sunil Kamble is the only student pursuing the two-year D.Ed. course at the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Dharwad.
For the 100 seat-course, only five students sought admission last year and three joined. While one student got transferred to Gulbarga in between, another one discontinued the course leaving Mr. Kamble all alone. “We tried to admit him to the girl’s training college. But the rules do not permit it,” an official said.
He said students were not interested in pursuing the D.Ed. course. This is for the first time the enrolment has reached such a low. In the last batch, there were only two students.
However, learning is not a happy experience for Mr. Kamble too. Though he is staying in the hostel, he has to go outside to have food as no one is willing to cook for one person in the canteen.
“We do not receive government grants for boarding of students. Earlier, the expenses for food were shared by hostel residents. We made arrangements for Mr. Kamble to have lunch at a nearby school which offers midday meal. But he has to make his own arrangements for breakfast and dinner, which is expensive,” the official said.
November 14: World Diabetes Day
World Diabetes Day takes place on 14 November every year. Diabetes is a disease of development. The misconception that diabetes
is ‘a disease of the wealthy’ is still held, to the detriment of
desperately needed funding to combat the pandemic. In coming years we
have much to do in making the case for those who have diabetes now and
will have in the future.
November 14 children's day
In India, Children's day is celebrated on the 14th November every year.
As a tribute Children's Day is celebrated on the first Prime Minister of
India, Jawaharlal Nehru's birthday. Lovingly called "Chacha Nehru"
which means Uncle Nehru by the kids, Jawaharlal Nehru gave emphasis to
the significance of giving love and affection to children, who are the
bright future of India. The main purpose of this day is to encourage the
welfare of children all over the country.
