20 reasons and two routes to eliminate NEET, Rajan committee tells TN govt

20 reasons and two routes to eliminate NEET, Rajan committee tells TN govt

Chennai:21.09.2021

The Justice AK Rajan Committee, which studied the impact of National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) on the student community in Tamil Nadu, has listed 20 reasons for elimination of NEET.

It suggested the twinroute of legislative and legal procedures to achieve the purpose. The committee also made seven recommendations that included bringing all deemed universities under the purview of the state government.

The 165-page report, submitted to the government in July 2021, was released to the media on Monday. The contents of the report were first reported by TOI on July 15.

Among the 20 points for opposing NEET were arguments that NEET neglected Class XII marks and promoted private coaching, and that it denied opportunities to tribal, rural and oppressed students.

Also, the report said the percentage of rural students came down from 65.17% in 2016-17 in the pre-NEET year, to 49.91% in 2020-21. The number of Tamil medium students allotted the MBBS seats also came down from 14.88% in 2016-17 to a mere 1.99% in 2020-21.

Likewise, the percentage of state board students getting MBBS seats also plummeted from 65.66% in 2016-17 to 48.22% in 2017-18 while the percentage of CBSE students has increased from 0.39% to 24.91% in just one year after the introduction of NEET. The number of government school students getting MBBS admissions also decreased from 34 students to just three students after NEET and no student from government schools got admitted to government medical colleges in 2017-18.

The number of first-generation graduates getting the seats also came down from 24.9% to 13.6% after the introduction of NEET in Tamil Nadu. Students whose parents annual income is less than 2.5lakhs per annum also come down from 47.42% before NEET to 30.6% after NEET.

Before NEET, 87.5% current-year students entered medical colleges, but it got reduced to 28.5% in 2020-21 as 71.4% repeaters grabbed the medical seats. The report also said the students were shelling out Rs 1 lakh to Rs 4.5 lakh per annum for coaching classes.

Justice Rajan Committee, therefore, asked the government to bring in a Bill to bin NEET and get the President's assent for the legislation. Reverting to Class XII marksbased admission to MBBS courses by adopting normalisation of scores to bring in equality among boards would be the solution, it said.

"This will ensure social justice and protect all vulnerable student communities from being discriminated against in admission to medical education programmes," the committee said in its report. It also advised the government to bring all deemed universities which are now directly under the UGC under the purview of the state government.

The committee, headed by Justice Rajan, had eight other members, including six government officials. It received more than 86,000 responses from the public. While more than 65,000 opposed NEET, 18,000 supported NEET and nearly 1,500 had no opinion.

The seven points that supported NEET included prevention of blocking of seats and the provision for Tamil Nadu students to enter union government-run colleges.

HC asks petitioner to move govt for financial emergency in varsity

Bhopal/Jabalpur:20.09.2021

A division bench of MP High Court asked the petitioner, who had filed a petition in the court for imposing financial emergency in the MP Medical University under section 50 of the MP Medical University Act, to present an application to that effect to the state government while directing the latter to take a decision on the application within two months.

President of Bharat Vikas Parishad, Alok Mishra, in his petition contended that there have been major financial irregularities in the medical university. Budget for the fiscal 2021-22 was not presented in the university at all and yet payment of lakhs of rupees are being made for different purposes by the university.

Section 26 (3) of the MP Medical University Act clearly provides that the finance committee of the university will present a budget before the executive council of the university for approval before the beginning of the new financial year. Mishra said that he had submitted an application before the state government urging for imposition of financial emergency in the university under section 50 of the Act but no action was taken by the state on his application. The bench comprising Chief Justice Mohammad Rafiq and Justice Satyendra Kumar Singh asked the petitioner to submit an application with the state government on the issue once again and directed that a decision in the matter should be taken by the state within two months.

Daughters Are Daughters Forever, Sons Are Sons Till They Are Married': Bombay HC Upholds Direction Under Senior Citizens Act

To Son To Vacate Flat Of Elderly Parents

Sharmeen Hakim19 Sep 2021 9:43 AM

The Court said that the Senior Citizens Act protects the right of elderly parents to have a "normal life" free from harassment.

The Senior Citizens Act mandates that children or relatives are obligated to cater to the needs of the senior citizens so that they 'live a normal life', free of any harassment, the Bombay High Court said, directing a Mumbai resident and his wife to vacate his elderly parents' flat within a month.

The Court observed that the man and his family living on his 90-year-old father's property (which has been gifted by him to his daughter) against the parent's wishes was harassment and defeated the parents' right to a 'normal life.' Accordingly, it dismissed the son's appeal against the Maintenance Tribunal order asking him to vacate the premises.

"..Section 4 clearly provide that the obligation of the children or relatives would be to cater to the needs of the senior citizens so that they 'live a normal life'…this would certainly include within its ambit, protection from any harassment and torture meted out by a son or relative by keeping himself on the premises owned by the senior citizens..."

The Court reiterated the old saying about daughters standing by their parents forever but sons sticking around only till they get married.

"Before parting and having noticed that this is a case where the old parents are suffering at the hands of the only son and daughter-in-law, it appears that there is certainly some element of truth in the popular saying that 'daughters are daughters forever and sons are sons till they are married' albeit there would surely be exemplary exceptions," the HC said.

The Court held that the several legal proceedings between the parties are the evidence of the feeling of torture and harassment by the parents. Moreover, the property in question is not an ancestral property on which the son can claim any legal right.

Background

The parents (father aged 90 years and mother aged 89 years) had approached the Maintenance Tribunal, against the harassment by their son. The Tribunal ordered the son and family to vacate the flat in which his elderly parents were residing.

Challenging the Tribunal's order, the son and his family filed a writ petition before the High Court.

At the very outset, the High Court observed that it was a "sad case" and expressed concern at the "misery of the parents"

The son and his family argued the plea on two grounds. First, they claimed that since a local court had already passed an order in the 89-year-old mother's favour not to dispossess her from the house under the Domestic Violence Act, the elderly couple was precluded from approaching the senior citizen's tribunal. Moreover, since the elderly parents had gifted the flat to the daughter, it could not be called the their own property to invoke section 4 of the Act.

The counsel for the parents argued that this was a clear case where the parents at such advanced stage of their lives are tortured and harassed by the petitioner nos. 1 and 2. He cited instances of inhuman treatment being meted out to the parents to grab the flat.

The Court held that the senior citizens would in no manner be precluded approaching the Tribunal, as Section 4 of the Act would include all facets of maintenance. Moreover, the father was not party to the DV proceedings.

"It is thus clear that the intention of the legislature in making such provisions in the interest of senior citizens, covers a wide spectrum of the senior citizens rights, which are fundamental to the their very survival and/or livelihood at their old age. Certainly the Court's approach cannot be narrow and pedantic in applying the provisions of the Senior Citizens Act to the grievances of the senior citizens falling within the ambit of the said Act."

"Normal Life" under Senior Citizens Act has a deeper meaning

Section 4 clearly provide that the obligation of the children or relatives would be to cater to the needs of the senior citizens so that they 'live a normal life'. The words "normal life" as used in these provisions would possess a far deeper and wider concept, deriving its meaning and having a bearing on the fundamental rights of livelihood as guaranteed and enjoyed by senior citizens under Article 21 of the Constitution.

The Court also noted that the term "property" under Section 2(f) mean property of any kind, whether movable or immovable, ancestral or self acquired, tangible or intangible and which would include rights or interest in such property.

The argument that the parents could not assert rights in the flat as they had gifted to their daughter was rejected by the Court noting that they had rights and interests in it.

The Court noted that the son was affluent and had properties of his own. Despite that, he was harassing his elderly parents, who just wanted to lead a peaceful life.

"The present case is a sad story of desperate parents who intend to be in peace at such advanced stage in life. Whether such bare minimum expectations and requirement should also be deprived to them by an affluent son, is a thought which the petitioners need to ponder on", the Court observed.

The Court observed that the the son appeared to be blinded in discharging his obligations to cater to his old and needy parents and on the contrary dragged them to litigation.

"It is painful to conceive that whatever are the relations between the son and the parents, should the son disown his old aged parents for material gains?", the Court noted with anguish.

'தகுதியான மாணவர்களை ஒதுக்கி முறைகேடாக சேர்க்கை நடத்துவதா?' : டில்லி ஐகோர்ட்

புதுடில்லி-'மருத்துவம் உட்பட அனைத்து கல்லுாரிகளிலும் தகுதி அடிப்படையில் சேர்க்கைக்கு காத்திருக்கும் மாணவர்களை ஒதுக்கிவிட்டு முறைகேடாக சேர்க்கை வழங்குவது சரியல்ல' என டில்லி உயர் நீதிமன்றம் உத்தரவிட்டுள்ளது.நாட்டில் அனைத்து அரசு மற்றும் தனியார் மருத்துவக் கல்லுாரிகளில் 'நீட்' தேர்வு மதிப்பெண் அடிப்படையில் மாணவர் சேர்க்கை நடைபெறுகிறது.இந்த விதிகளை மீறி மத்திய பிரதேசத்தின் போபால் எல்.என்., மருத்துவக் கல்லுாரி மற்றும் ஆராய்ச்சி மையத்தில் 2016ல் ஐந்து மாணவர்கள் சேர்க்கப்பட்டனர்.அவர்களை கல்லுாரியில் இருந்து வெளியேற்ற வேண்டும் என இந்திய மருத்துவ கவுன்சில் கடிதம் அனுப்பியது. 

ஆனால் கல்லுாரி தரப்பில் அவர்கள் தொடர்ந்து படிக்கவும், தேர்வுகள் எழுதி அடுத்தடுத்த நிலைகளுக்கு செல்லவும் அனுமதி அளிக்கப்பட்டது.இதற்கிடையே மருத்துவ கவுன்சில் உத்தரவை ரத்து செய்வதுடன், தங்கள் மருத்துவக் கல்வியை தொடர அனுமதி கோரி மாணவர்கள் தாக்கல் செய்த மனு டில்லி உயர் நீதிமன்றத்தில் தள்ளுபடி ஆனது.இதையடுத்து மாணவர்கள் தாக்கல் செய்த மேல் முறையீட்டு மனு, டில்லி உயர் நீதிமன்ற நீதிபதிகள் விபின் சங்கி மற்றும் ஜஸ்மீத் சிங் அமர்வு முன் விசாரணைக்கு வந்தது.முடிவில் மனுவை தள்ளுபடி செய்து நீதிபதிகள் பிறப்பித்த உத்தரவு:

 நாட்டில் லட்சக்கணக்கான மாணவர்கள் தகுதி அடிப்படையில் கல்வி நிறுவனங்களில் சேர கடினமாக உழைக்கின்றனர்; அப்படி இருக்கும்போது மருத்துவக் கல்லுாரி உட்பட எந்த கல்வி நிறுவனத்திலும் முறைகேடான சேர்க்கைகள் நிறுத்தப்பட வேண்டும்.கல்வி நிலையங்களில் குறுக்கு வழியில் சிலருக்கு வழங்கப்படும் அனுமதியால், அதிக தகுதி பெற்றவர்கள் கல்லுாரிகளில் சேர்க்கை கிடைக்காமல் தவிக்கும் நிலை ஏற்படுகிறது.

இந்த விவகாரத்தில் நான்கு கல்வி ஆண்டுகள் வீணானதாக மனுதாரர்கள் கூறுகின்றனர்; இதற்கு அவர்களே முழு பொறுப்பும் ஏற்க வேண்டும்.இந்திய மருத்துவ கவுன்சில் கடிதம் கிடைத்ததும், அவர்கள் கல்லுாரியில் இருந்து வெளியேறி இருந்தால் நான்கு ஆண்டுகள் வீணாகி இருக்காது.ஏற்கனவே அவர்கள் தாக்கல் செய்த மனுவிற்கு ஏதேனும் இடைக்கால உத்தரவு கிடைத்திருந்தால் ஐந்து பேரும் கல்வியை தொடர்ந்ததில் அர்த்தம் இருந்திருக்கும்.அதுபோல் எந்த அனுமதியும் கிடைக்காமல், அவர்கள் எடுத்த முடிவுகள் தற்போது அவர்களுக்கே எதிராக முடிந்துள்ளது. இவ்வாறு உத்தரவில் கூறப்பட்டு உள்ளது.
