DU's non-collegiate cut-off on July 15

'By the fourth list, most students take admission in regular colleges and it ensures hassle-free admission for us as well,' the official said, adding that the final call over the cut-off will be taken during a meeting on Tuesday. In 2018, the cut-off for BA programme and BCom courses at NCWEB ranged between 72% to 78% and 77% to 85% respectively. The board releases cut-offs as per different teaching centres which hold classes on weekends. Currently, the board has 26 centres in DU colleges, including Hansraj College, Miranda House, Maharaja Agrasen College, Rajdhani College, and Vivekananda College offering three courses — BA Programme, BCom and MA. The Non-Collegiate students are, however, not allowed to pursue any other full-time degree course. Students have to submit their original certificates at the time of admission.

Copa America 2019: Brazil beat Peru 3-1, lift title after 12 years

However, Brazil soon recovered from the early wobble and got into the game intensively. Very soon, Soares scored the first goal for the Selecao in the 14th minute. Brazil and Peru continued to play aggressive football in the entire first half with both teams creating plenty of chances. In the 44th minute, Peru was awarded a penalty and Guerrero ensured that the opportunity was not wasted as he easily found the net to make it 1-1. However, Peru's celebrations were short-lived when Jesus scored Brazil's second goal to make it 2-1 in half time. Brazil maintained their intent in the second half too, not giving Peru a possible chance to score another equaliser. The hosts received a setback when Jesus was sent off after he was shown a second yellow card for tackling roughly with Peru's Carlos Zambrano in the 70th minute. Even after being down to 10 men, Brazil continued their dominance in the match and Richarlison ensured that there were no more surprises when he netted the team's third goal via a penalty in the dying moments of the game to spark wild celebrations. Neymar, who did not play in the tournament due to an ankle injury, was seen cheering with his son and sat next to Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro in the stand. Brazil has hosted Copa America five times and has won all of them. On the other hand, Peru, which has won two titles (1939 and 1975), was aiming for their third win in the South American championship.

"If anyone is found to be lacking in sincerity, stern action would be taken against them," the chief minister warned. "I am giving three-months time. There should be a change in the way villages look. The collectors should supervise the development works on a regular basis.

Swaroop Sampat: Exposing kids to social work is a good leveller

Excerpt from a conversation: You made it as one of the 10 global finalists for the Global Teacher Prize 2019 conducted by the Varkey Foundation. How have things changed since? Honestly, nothing has changed. In India, teachers are not important. We keep saying that they are. But it is just for effect, as it sounds good. It is all about rote learning, 'cut and paste' and gaining marks, not about education. The truth is that at every stage in your life, it makes a world of a difference if you have a good teacher. Very few people know that you were selected from amongst 10,000 nominations from 179 countries worldwide as a finalist. True. But mine is not a headline-making story, even though I have been struggling resolutely to change perspectives. I come of a privileged back ground. I have not struggled barefoot to rise to where I am today. But it is still a herculean challenge, breaking mindsets to educate the children of my country. I teach out of love. You have turned down five film offers and a web series over the past two months…? See, I am happy with a 10-minute role (like in Uri) as I make an indelible impact. My son came home after watching the movie and said, 'Mom, your performance of 10 minutes on one side and Papa's (actor Paresh Rawal) performances on the other.I was simply blown away by you in Uri.' That mattered so much to me. I am busy with my teaching schedules spanning Rajasthan, Gujarat, Chattisgarh, Uttaranchal, Karnataka, Puducherri… my work as a teacher gives me immense satisfaction. It is time consuming as well, hence I need to pick my movie assignments carefully. Only if they are worth my time, do I sign on. Father of three girls, Rajpal Yadav loves spending time with his daughters What took you so long to hit mainstream Bollywood again? My sons, Aditya and Aniruddh, were young and needed me around. I was pursuing my PhD from the University of Worcester, UK. I did my doctoral thesis on using drama to enhance life skills in children with learning disabilities. After my PhD, I expanded my work to include all children. Back to family, now the boys are full-fledged adults, busy pursuing their own careers, and I am able to take time out as well for a few movies, as and when my schedule permits. You prioritised family when you needed to… Of course. Paresh was busy with shoots round the clock. We made a choice, together. I wasn't very happy with the kind of roles I was getting at that point in time, and was happier teaching. I chose to be the stay-at-home mom. The boys have grown up watching your mother do social work as well. Of course, as an oncologist, their Nani (maternal grandmother) always helped out the underprivileged. I remember when our boys were with her once at the hospital and a senior doctor told them that no one could challenge the expertise of their Nani. They were overwhelmed, choked up, wide-eyed and realised the enormity of the work she was doing. Exposing kids to social work is a good leveller. Tell us more about your work. I venture into remote villages to educate children through drama. I train teachers in these techniques. I do not charge any money. The education is free. I have been to places including Latur, Amravati, Nandurgarh….to educate teachers and children. I can easily say that our best teachers are in the villages. I have trained over 2.5 lakh teachers in Gujarat and over 1 lakh teachers in Maharashtra, many more for teachers for the Azim Premji Foundation. What is the cornerstone of your belief? Love and empathy. These are emotions that solve many problems. For me, an urban kid is the same as one with torn clothes. Both sit on my lap while I teach. We need to stop being judgemental. There is a desperate need for all of us to be open-minded. You have to love children, win their trust, empower them through learning. If you do it out of love, they listen to you, respond beautifully. There needs to be a mutual emotional sync. I believe in negotiated learning, through love. Also, we have a precious heritage. We must start at the grassroots level, bring in the goodness of yoga, pranayam, dhyan into the value system of children early on for maximum benefit. What is your take on corrective action? When you are upset with a child, it is actually the action of the child that has upset you. Therefore, you need to correct the action, through patience and positive reinforcement. Your choice of words, body language, acceptance is very important. Learning must bring joy at the end of the day for you and the child. So then happiness is what counts? When you learn together, you cultivate and nourish a rainbow of emotions. That is how you develop critical thinking at every step. Do you ever get depressed, working extensively with the underprivileged? Never. There is always hope for a better tomorrow. Let the light of education shine. Does your family support you? I have a wonderful, loving, supportive family. Paresh makes things so much simpler. Like he told me when I started out that by the grace of God we do not need the money, so I must not charge a single rupee for teaching the children. He advised me not to copyright my work. The idea is to duplicate the methodology as much as possible so that it reaches the maximum children. That made things so much easier. I work gratis, and watching my methods work, every time, is fulfilling beyond imagination. I was meant to do this. How has your experience made you a better parent? It has sensitised me, developed tremendous patience in me, opened up perspectives. I know I have to break down many walls all around to reach out to the children at large. It is not possible to do it in one go, but I shall do it, chip by chip, resolutely. I want to share my knowledge. What is your aim? I want to change the system of learning in our country. For this, I work with the government for a wider reach across the length and breadth of India. This is my calling in life, and I discovered it by sheer chance. Almost 18 years ago, when my children were in school, I was the chairperson of the PTA. Then an opportunity came up to be involved with teaching special kids through an evening course. I did that, enjoyed myself teaching the children for a year, through the medium of drama. One thing led to another. I was able to pursue my PhD from University of Worcester. I was awarded full scholarship, had the opportunity to do the data collection in India and even submitted my final proposal as luckily the final interview was conducted here. My examiners stood up in appreciation of my research distillate. Not a single word was changed; my PhD was approved as I submitted it. God made everything fall into place. Do you agree that your wattage as a celebrity helps in cutting through the clutter? I have always been a star's wife. I have won the Miss India title. Of course, it helps in cutting through the clutter and meeting the concerned individuals for work. I am grateful for being able to leverage my celebrity wattage, as in the end, the work is getting done. You have a massive wealth of work to your credit. I was meant to do this. I am associated in an intrinsic capacity with Save the Children, UNICEF, Gujarat State Council for the Protection of Child Rights and scores of NGOs. Is yours a case of too little time and too much to do? Absolutely! Every morning I want to get out of the bed, fast. There is so much to do.

Kim visits national mausoleum to pay respects to country's founding leader

According to North Korea's state television, Kim was seen paying a visit to the mausoleum and people observed a moment of silence with a sound of a siren across the country. The country's flag was also seen flying at half-mast. Kim Il-sung, who founded North Korea in 1948, passed away due to a heart attack in 1994. His son Kim Jong-il too breathed his last owing to the same ailment in 2011, following which current leader Kim Jong-un took office. Notably, it was the first time in two years that North Korea's state media aired on Kim Jong-un's visit to the Kumsusan Palace to mark the occasion of the country's founding leader's death anniversary. Until 2017, Kim Jong-un paid his at obeisance at the mausoleum since he assumed power. However, state media did not report about his visit last year. The North Korean leader later attended a national memorial service at an indoor stadium in Pyongyang. It was the first time that such an event was held after five years. While several officials delivered speeches on the occasion, Kim Jong-un did not speak at the event. Meanwhile, North Korean media called upon its people to adopt "self-reliance" while building a powerful economy on the occasion. "Today's grand advance in economic development is (the continuation of) a sacred and rewarding struggle of our great leaders to realise their aspirations for a patriotic and powerful country," the Rodong Sinmun, the country's propaganda newspaper, said in an editorial. "Raising high the slogan for self-reliance and self-sufficiency and achieving a miraculous myth once again, (we) should demonstrate to the world the reviving status of the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il," it added while using North Korea's official name. ...

Hong Kong message for China tourists

he authorities took no chances. Police and train staff guarded every exit of the station. Hong Kong's MTR Corp Ltd, which runs the city's Metro, planned to shut all entrances to the West Kowloon station apart from a route for passengers. Food and beverage outlets were also closed.Shanghai businessman Alan Zhang watched the procession near an Apple store on Canton Road. "Actually, I feel quite touched to see how Hong Kong people fight for their freedom," said Zhang, 54, a frequent visitor to Hong Kong."That's something we can't do in China. I think first-time travellers do not know what is happening right now.. Indeed it let me see why Hong Kong is different from China. I received flyers and AirDrop - very smart act."The organiser said 230,000 people had attended the march. Tens of thousands of protesters marched through one of Hong Kong's most touristy areas on Sunday, trying to gain support from mainland Chinese visitors for the city's opposition to an extradition bill which has caused political turmoil.Protests against the now-suspended bill have drawn millions of people to the streets in the former British colony in recent weeks, posing the biggest challenge Beijing has faced to its rule in the territory since Hong Kong returned to Chinese control in 1997.The bill, which would allow people to be sent to mainland China for trial in courts controlled by the Communist Party, has triggered outrage across broad sections of Hong Kong society amid concerns it threatens the much-cherished rule of law that underpins the city's international financial status.China and Britain have engaged in a public spat over the bill but Chinese ambassador Liu Xiaoming told BBC TV on Sunday that China was "not interested in diplomatic war with the UK" and he had full confidence in Hong Kong's ability to resolve the situation without Beijing's intervention.Protesters on Sunday braved intermittent rain and marched through streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, a popular shopping destination dotted with luxury shops, to try to deliver their message directly to mainland Chinese tourists in the hope of garnering sympathy. At times they shouted slogans in Mandarin, mainland China's official tongue, as opposed to Hong Kong's main language Cantonese.

The teachings of educator Gijubhai Badheka are being celebrated in a book

The book launch took place at Crossword in Pune. The writers of the book have been inspired by 'Divya Swapna' (meaning day dream).

Vinitha is an established author and journalist and has written more that 23 books for children, including ICSE and CBSE textbooks. Vats says, 'With the new draft of education policy shaping up, I feel that this is the right time to understand and explore the ideas of a book like this. Not only can these ideas influence today's classrooms or teachers but can also affect the thinking of the parents. We hope that Badheka's work will be acknowledged and want him to receive a Padma Shri for the same. Mahesh Balakrishnan, IB Board Developer based in Delhi, was the chief guest at the launch.
