Announcement of Marks: In order to ensure more accountability and transparency, marks obtained by all students seeking admission have to be declared by the JNU administration both at the viva voce stage, as well as when the final lists of selected students are released. This is all the more the important given JNU's shocking track record, proven through RTIs filed by students over the years, which reveal a pattern of discrimination faced by students from deprived backgrounds during the interview stage. Data has shown how many a student who has performed excellently in the written exam was made ineligible through shockingly low marks awarded in the interview (to the tune of 1 or 2 marks!) .
.
.
Weightage for interview: For several years, the JNU administration has been allocating a weightage of 30% for interviews in the selection process for JNU's M.Phil programmes. Not just is this illegal, it also leaves ample scope for discrimination, as has been narrated above. Therefore, the weightage for interviews in the admission process should be reduced to 10%. .

Hold JNU Administration Accountable For Scuttling Democratic Decision-making Processes: .
In the recent past, we have seen how the JNU administration has subverted and undermined various decision-making bodies, including the Academic Council. The upcoming AC must the following issues: .
.
On 18th March 2010, the AC decided to reject the Aditya Mukherjee Committees faulty cut-off criterion for OBC students. Following this directive, the Deans Committee approved a change in JNU's admission procedure by incorporating the correct cut-off criteria on June 17th 2010. How was the AC decision of March 18th 2010 unilaterally subverted by the JNU administration on July 12th 2010 without even informing the AC? .
.
.
This act of the JNU administration to overrule the AC decision resulted in 277 OBC students being denied admission last year alone. Who in the JNU administration will take responsibility for this criminal victimization? .
.
.
When the Delhi HC ruled against the JNU administration in its 7th September judgment, why did the JNU administration not implement the verdict, and offer admission to the 277 victimized students? .
.
.
Who in the JNU administration took the decision to challenge the HC verdict? How was this decision taken, without consulting any democratic decision-making body in JNU? .
.
.
It is by now well-known that at least three key persons in the administration the Director of Admissions, the Coordinator (Evaluations) and the Registrar (in whose name JNU had filed the review petition in the Delhi HC against the HC verdict OBC reservations) have known anti-reservation ideological positions which they had been foisting on the JNU community along with the outgoing VC, bypassing all decision-making bodies in the process. It is therefore absolutely essential that the upcoming AC demand accountability, since these officials continue to hold influential posts in the JNU administration. .
There are other important issues too which the AC will have to address. As mentioned in the Charter of Demands submitted to the JNU administration, the scope of recognition of Aleemiyat Fazeelat certificates has to be expanded. When madarsa certificates were first recognized in 2008 by JNUs AC, it was decided that recognition would gradually be expanded to include new madarsas too. This has not yet happened, and needs to be done. .

There once lived a young boy in the depths of the jungle, surrounded by the wild and untamed beauty of nature. Every day he would watch as the plants and trees grew taller, reaching for the sky, and the animals roamed freely, each with their own unique traits and characteristics. One day, as he was observing a river stream, he noticed how each droplet of water was distinct and carried its own unique journey. It struck him that just like the water, he too was one-of-a-kind, with his own set of fingerprints and qualities that set him apart from everyone else.He realized that like the plants and animals of the jungle, he too deserved to thrive and be abundant. He saw how the jungle provided the perfect environment for everything to flourish and realized that he too could have that same level of abundance in his own life. With this newfound insight, he decided to take control of his life and tap into his full potential. He signed up for a service where he would receive daily accountability calls to keep him motivated and on track.It wasn't long before he saw a transformation in himself. He was becoming the most potent and powerful version of himself, just like the plants and animals in the jungle. He finally allowed himself to grow and prosper, and the abundance he desired started to flow into his life. Join this young boy on his journey to abundance and unlock your full potential with daily accountability calls. Allow yourself to grow and prosper, just like the plants and animals in the jungle. Get started today!

This week: –2
Total: –6
An AW without a scale again--but that's what the scale said this morning when I weighed in. I didn't take a photo on the scale earlier today and then Peter came home early with a very bad case of food poisoning. I don't want to disturb him by getting on the scale in the master bathroom (the scale makes all sorts of beeping noises as does the camera).
Anyway--WOO! 2 pounds down. Gotta keep up the good work. Buying Dark Chocolate Mini Eggs at CVS today was probably not a good way to celebrate :)
3ie and IEG partnered to organise a highly-interactive and well-attended conference on citizen engagement and accountable government in Washington, DC on 8 April 2019. This one-day public event was part of 3ie’s Washington Evidence Week. Around 130 participants had the opportunity to hear from experts, interact with their peers and share their thoughts on what works and what does not work on citizen engagement that can hold governments accountable. For details of the event, please visit: www.3ieimpact.org/events/evidence-weeks/3ie-and-ieg-confe...
