Mandatory Counseling at Schools

Counseling has currently become an integral aspect in our life. We have heard of counseling for marriage, counseling for jobs, counseling for addiction etc., but of late, counseling in schools have also become prevalent. However, not all schools in India find this an important issue but considering the problems the students, teachers and parents are facing, it is essential that counseling is taken a little more seriously. Incidentally, there have been rumors that some schools here are going to send selected teachers for training in child psychology who will deal with the problems arising at school rather than hiring a Counselor.

It is known in the US as the Eggplant and in the UK as Aubergine but in India it goes by the name of Brinjal and may hence forth be known as Bt Brinjal if Maharashtra Hybrids Seeds Company (MAHYCO) in collaboration with Monsanto has its way. bt-brinjal

Author Jitesh Kundnani    Category The Story of India     Tags
I woke up a bit late than usual and took some more time to get ready. “It’s valentines day” I thought and who knows if luck favors, I might find my romance today, was what compelled me to put on some good clothes, and a lot of perfume. I hit the road as usual to leave for the factory in the outskirts of Jamanagar road and soon I was on my bike zooming towards my destination. long-queue-for-water

Recently I happened to watch a commercial which wasn’t meant for commercial purpose but for our tigers which are under constant danger of being diminished from mother earth.
