27th July:
Of accidents and precautions:
Jalgaon District has witnessed many major incidences throughout this month. The accidents in every form have resulted in major injuries and deaths most of the time. Most of the incidences took place due to our overloaded traffics and many times due to our mistakes and negligence.
Another important aspect of accidents when we talk of Jalgaon Specific is that our Educational Institutions are located far near or across National Highway. Almost 4-5 major student inflow institutions are on bank of National Highway creating need of crossing Highways for reaching destination.
The Highway Traffic has its own set of rules and regulations and those who are used to of this traffic system can only drive throughout. The Trucks and other heavy motor vehicles paying most of the road taxes dominates the Highways and are "Night King" of the Highways.
Our student friends shall be trained properly to cross over and drive on such life-risking Highways. Just Driving License is no way a certification of adequate driving especially on Highways. So dear friends always remain alert while crossing highways, take a good look at both the directions while crossing and always be at a safer distance from Heavy Motor vehicles. Always drive below 50KMPH and keep a routine check of your Vehicle. Many times accidents incur due to failure and non-functioning of speed controlling devices in our vehicles.
Another important request that remains hanged is "Urge to shift National Highway out of City traffic" shall initiate. Colleges targeted in the route shall make a common appeal to Civil Authority to do so and Colleges should conduct regular Training camps for Safer Vehicle driving.

Well done friends, time to gear up:

Honouring the best students, merit students, and toppers continues throughout the District. It is busy time for community heads to admire their pupils. The community heads along with honour shall constitute yearly Scholarship for their needy students. The current scenario in education field clearly indicates that Education shall become dearer making difficult for common or poor section.
On other hand students and their parents are feeling annoyed over almost doubled Fees in every section of Education along with competition in race for admission. The regular Class XI admission merit closed on 68% making education no more a common student's play. The below 65% students are either supposed to go to lower merit colleges or they need to give donations for the admissions. A Playgroup school is charging Rs. 200/- per month fees with Class I to X charging almost Rs. 350/- to 400/- per month. The Class XI and XII students are supposed to pay approximate Rs. 5000/- as annual fees. The Graduation and PG is the toughest one. Graduate students are paying around Rs. 10000/- while PG are paying around Rs 20000/- to Rs. 35000/- per year.
The State Education reforms are good ones but they in other aspect are killing prosperous and bright students that may arise from Poor section of the Society. The Engineering Education is live example of how low income or needy student having medium percentile go behind and have to go to private Engineering Colleges and pay around Rs. 35000/- per year. The current education reforms have also created two brands in students i.e. if you belong to a Reserved or Scheduled Category you have handsome discounting in fees and seat reservation as well, but if you are open you aught to blame on yourself by paying full fees and having no confirmation in seats.
The Government foundation principle of educated society seems forgotten in the shade of political or vote bank strategies.
