Nali Kali - Unscientific Method of Teaching Kannada with Syllabic Approach - Should be discontinued with immediate effect
Prajavani Cover Report on 12-06-2009
I have been arguing against this unscientific approach since its inception. Teaching a PHONETIC LANGUAGE through SYLLABIC APROACH is sheer nonsense. Kannada Language will lose its beauty if it is taught in that way. All the educationists prescribe, specially the Linguists advice, a more natural way of approach to the mother tongue. Here in this Nali Kali approach an effort is made to teach Kannada to the students of English Medium only. It only helps the students who do not have initial training in Kannada. All the amount spent on preparation of CARDS and Study Material and some such thing called Teaching Aid is all a waste. Now, Sri T.M. Kumar, Former Director of Public Instruction has said the same thing. It is left to the people to see the consequences. If this Nali Kali continues for another five years, well our students will definitely forget all the Letter of Kannada Alpabet and they will naturally ask what the Alphabetical Order in Kannada is!Model School in Dharwad - Bala Balaga - Article in Prajavani - Karnataka Darshana - 18-06-2009

World Environment Day 2009
Let us take oath to save our mother EARTH
World Environment Day (WED) was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment.
Commemorated yearly on 5 June, WED is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action. The day's agenda is to:
Give a human face to environmental issues;
Empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development;
Promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues;
Advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future.
The theme for WED 2009 is 'Your Planet Needs You-UNite to Combat Climate Change'. It reflects the urgency for nations to agree on a new deal at the crucial climate convention meeting in Copenhagen some 180 days later in the year, and the links with overcoming poverty and improved management of forests.
This year’s host is Mexico which reflects the growing role of the Latin American country in the fight against climate change, including its growing participation in the carbon markets.
Mexico is also a leading partner in UNEP's Billion Tree Campaign. The country, with the support of its President and people, has spearheaded the pledging and planting of some 25 per cent of the trees under the campaign. Accounting for around 1.5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, the country is demonstrating its commitment to climate change on several fronts.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon states that the WED celebration will “further underline Mexico's determination to manage natural resources and deal with the most demanding challenge of the 21st century – climate change.”World Environment Day (WED) was established by the UN General Assembly in 1972 to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment.
