Idea 2: Govt. website for To Do list (work to be completed) and work completed or percentage of work done list for every MPs and MLAs

This will help for both people and govt. to communicate properly with each other. Also help MPs and MLAs to campaign properly, by showing their work.  No need of poster or wastage of papers. They can also add the photographs of their work that has been done. It will improve transparency and minimize corruption. I think govt. should initiate this approach, as a result politicians will be encouraged for subscribe To Do list, because people will also want them to subscribe. They may not make it compulsory, but still I think most politician will subscribe it because people and media may ask why they are not subscribing it and not showing their work. Also a good politician will always get a chance to win again. People may also provide feedback and opinions of their work in the website.

Instead of year wise, semester wise exam will be more better in 10+2 level in India?

Share your views at: http://qr.ae/7hOcoJ These fundamental subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics should be made in chunks, so that subject that is needed is taught, other wise that can be skipped and other specialized subject can be taught in that time. Also I think way to specialization should start from 10th class, not 11th class.

In 10+2 level in India, we have biotechnology, but no bioinformatics?

Write your views at: http://qr.ae/7yjTT4 I was looking at the syllabus of CBSE, and its very up to date, but some features are still missing. Biological data has become humongous, whether data for genomics or proteomics etc. For handling such big data, we need bioinformatics. When a biotechnologist produces some data, whether from NGS etc method, who is going to analyse it. In the syllabus of Bioinformatics that is taught in colleges after 10+2, there is no python, no statistical programming such as R etc.  Also no analysis of data produced from latest technology such as RNA-seq data, ChiP-seq etc. Please also look at the Edx courses of Genome Analysis and many other courses that require informatics in biological field. e.g. Case study: Variant Discovery and Genotyping given by HarvardX.  Also look at other case studies. What you people have to say about it?

In cbse 10+2 level syllabus in India, there is no statistics?

Share your views at: http://qr.ae/7hbIgQ Now statistics has become a very important field, because of machine learning. Statistics should be introduced in the course with very up to date syllabus and syllabus of it should also contain compulsorily programming languages such as python and R Its better if they make python compulsory, no matter what subjects student opt for. One of the best book I would recommend for fundamental is Elementary Statistics by Mario Triola, 9th Edn. But it does not contain machine learning. Problems of it are really good and should be solved along with programming even

In India specialization courses should be started directly after 10+2 so that students can earn a certificate and apply for job?

Share your views at: http://qr.ae/7Gi2oR Let me explain the situation of Education System if a student becomes a web developer or a mobile app developer Most Indian parents and society are only worried about child employment. They never think about their children passion.  So first they allow you to choose between Engineering or Medical because there is no other field that an average Indian can think. As medical entrance is highly tough, so an average student is likely to fail in it. So after 10+2 exam, student may go for medical coaching or JEE coaching for students who aspire to join some IITs.  If medical,  one year in coaching has been wasted. Even for JEE coaching one year is wasted because most students will not get a seat in IITs, so they will join some other private college, so coaching becomes unnecessary. So finally after one year, only one option is left that is engineering.  So in engineering students usually choose Computer Science with syllabus that time forgot. They will

Why does learning programming is not compulsory in higher secondary schools in India?

Share your views at:  http://qr.ae/77YeoE Nowadays, scientists use computers for almost every thing - whether it is a mathematical problem, physics, chemistry or biology. Why not make students learn python in higher secondary schools with its application in science? Why do students have to memorize straight forward equation such as radio activity decay or Nernst equation? Why not solve them through the python programming language? Why not teach them simulations when they start college? I would say that python is a very futuristic language, easy to learn, and human readable. Also there are so many packages available for scientific computation. It is also open source. I would also say that students should start learning Linux in higher secondary schools. I would request Smiriti Irani to include it in syllabus as soon as possible.  Also students can be provided credit card-sized single-board computers such as Raspberrypi, if a student is unable to afford desktops or laptops. What do you g

Business Model for Lectures and Material provided by various Universities

Lectures and Materials can be made free all over the country, but we can still raise funds by making tie ups with other foreign universities of developed countries. Also we can make the new lectures available online paid, in different developed countries, till some funds for a particular lecture is raised, after that it can be made free.  

All International and National Conferences should be recorded and made available online

Let me explain how it causes vast lost of information if we don't record especially scientific conferences. I am giving the example of University I was working. It was a scientific conference on Genome Architecture. In this international conference many renowned researchers have presented their work. The schedule was very hectic, with almost no time gap, as there were large number of speakers. As a student let me explain what are the problem that arises when we don't record the lectures. 1) First while listening we can miss many points, and we don't get the chance to listen again. 2) Also because of hectic schedule, it becomes bit boring for us, to listen all the lectures from 9:00 a.m. – 5:30p.m. So we may skip many lectures. 3) Further, but most important point is only students who registered for the Conference get the chance to listen. Imagine, what impact it would have, if it was made available online, may be after a month of conference, so that huge number of students

Do we have free will? Speak out to bring change...

Speak and reward people who speaks right, who do right. Speak and criticize (constructive criticism) people, by saying what you dislike about them, what is the solution, who speaks nuisance and illogical, and people who do wrong (especially applicable to policy makers such as politicians and people who control us. ) Have you ever compared between human and chimpanzee? Why are humans more intelligent than a chimpanzee? You may say we have a better brain than a chimpanzee. But is this a real fact. Chimpanzee can't speak, so they don't pass their information from one generation to another. But we do it. We pass our information from one generation to another. So I request people to share information, share your ideas. It can be through social networks, or through tweeter, quora, blog etc. But before sharing or speaking out publicly we need to be little thoughtful by doing some research.
