Education In India CAN DO BETTER

India & You

July-Aug 2015

With summer holidays also comes a mad rush for the high school graduates to get admissions in their preferred colleges. And the increasing cut-offs in different colleges offer no solace. While education faces challenge, so does the basis of Indian economy – farming. Monsoon brings a relief amidst the heated situation, not only for the ailing farmers and the students but the general mood of the nation with its rainy bites and floral prints. In the destination section, we take you for Ramadan celebration in the Nawabi air of Lucknow and to the Himalayas to Khajjiar, a rare blend of three ecosystems. We bring you back to Delhi for its heritage and present to you the story of its denied aspirations for UNESCO world heritage city tag. In Delhi we also introduce you to knife grinders, thus starting a series on the dying professions of India. In lieu of the 68th Indian Independence day, we leave you with lesser known places significant during Indian freedom struggle.
