The Hindu, Monday, Jan 03, 2005 .

.

The Hindu report of 3 Jan, 05 makes it clear that Prof. Sadgopal's humorous futuristic commentary .

about the future of India's education, is f~st translating itself into a harsh reality. The agenda of the .

conference ofthe State Ministers of education, held at Bangalore on.January 10-11 , included items like .

ng fees, introduction of foreign universities. At the.

.

introduction of private universities bill, restructuri--conference HRD Minister Arjun Singh reiterated the commitment of 100°/o FDI in higher education and .

stated that GATS in education is inevitable. How~ver, we must know that neither GATS nor 100°/o .

FDI in higher education is inevitable; it is up to the national governments to decide whether to .

place education on the table ofWTO for negotiations. Out of the 143 member countries of WTO.

.

..... .

<?_nly 40 countries have placed education as a negotiating item. Indian govt could have chosen notto , .

place education as a tradable item. Butthe Indian govt. chose to surrendereducation before the corporate .

giants through WTO. The massive privatisation and unfolding corporatization of our entire education .

system is a direct outcome ofour govt,s shafneful and totally uncalled for surrenderbefore the WTO. .

.

Friends, what would have seemed absurd and ridiculous yesterday, has become a reality today with .

the Coke taking over Municipal Schools of Delhi. As we are waging a battle againstthe Nestle Outlet's .

takeover ofJNU'~dhaba spaces, we must realise that days may not be far offwhen corporate giants like .

Nestle will try to dictate our academics as well. When the Indian govt. had a choice of not handing over .

our education, it chose the corporate interest over the interest of its people. Today, when we have to .

make a decision about the Nestle Outlet we must decide whom do we side with -the interest ofthe .

common students and citizens orthe corporate ? .

So we have this new super-powerful next-gen console in the Xbox 360 in the Cube Office, and the most played game on it? This super-simple retro-arcade game called Geometry Wars.

Notice the high score, made by Derrick. Later on he apparently achieved over 500 000.

This game is super fun. I'm thinking now I need to get myself an Xbox 360 just to play this one game at home.

Fact-finding team to Vidarbha: As the agrarian crisis continues, under the leadership of SSS Councillors, a fact-finding team was organized to Vidarbha between 21-29 May to examine agrarian indebtedness and governmentpolicies that have led to innumerable farmer suicides and left the region destitute and helpless. The twelve-memberteam visited three tehsils of Pusad, Mahagaon, and Arni in Yavatmal District. The reason for the suicides are rooted inthe deadly cocktail of systematic withdrawal of government support, decreasing subsidies, increasing costs ofproduction, repeated crop failure, all of which are adding to a vicious cycle of indebtedness. More shameful anddisturbing is the fact that the government whose agrarian policies are to blame is putting the blame on the farmers by.

Resolving demands of PH students: As Councilors of SSS, we have consistently raised the issue of ensuring thatthis camFHJs is equally accessible to Physically Challenged students.

computers in -the Helen Keller unit. Another initiative has been ensuring a pool of writers to aid VH students during---exams. In each case, our understanding has been that these are rights that the university community must ensure and.

Participation in the SSS Library Committee: As SSS Councilors we have worked closely with teachers and the.

SSS library Committee to find solutions to the problems that exist in the facilities and functioning of the Central.

library. .It-was as a result of these efforts that it became clear that there was a complete lack of transparency in the.-.

functioning of the Central library and that the working conditions were atrocious. The demand for electronic.

connectivity between the catalogues of the departmental libraries and the central l-ibrary has been raised by us and is.

being followed at all the requisite levels. We have also circulated a requisition form among students so as to ensure.

that there is greater student involvement in the purchase of books for the library..

Departmental Libraries: The issue of the departmental libraries was raised for the first time by us as councilors and.

pursued with the Deans and the Chairpersons of various centres. SSS councilors intervened on the issue of the CHS.

contract and the timing of the library was extended till 8 p.m. last semester. With regard to the demand for Xerox.

Friends, 21.10.09 .

On 18/10/09 the JNUSU issued a pamphlet, in which appallingly it made a case for the innocence ofGanga Sahay Meena, who has been found guilty ofsexual harassment by the GSCASH after a prolonged enquiry. The verdict was ratifi.ed by the Executive Council of the University. This kind of a lame and outrageous defense would compel anyone endowed with even an iota ofsense to ask certain questions: .

Why has the AISA led JNU Students Union, the self-professed sentinel ofprogressive politics on campus, the self-styled eternal vanguard of the rights of the students, made common cause with a faculty member, perpetrator of this ghastly incidence of sexual harassment, rather than the student, its victim? Why has the JNUSU, the single tnost important representative ofthe JNU students' community sided with Ganga Sahay Meena? Perhaps in their feverish, fuddled 'revolutionary' zeal, they have forgotten who they are supposed to fight for, who their real constituency is, whose rights and interests they are supposed to safeguard. .

Why has the JNUSU launched such a shameless no-holds-barred assault on GSCASH, an institution whose .

very establishment was a landmark in the student community's struggle for equality and gender justice? .

Why is the JNUSU making concentrated and strenuous efforts to malign the GSCASH Chairperson? .

Mesmerized by their own grandeur, have they forgotten that the GSCASH has faced numerous difficulties in .

the past in conducting enquiries against faculty members? Are they completely blind to the fact that the .

passing ofthe verdict and its endorsement by the EC is an enormous accomplishment in itself? .

.

What is the implication of the JNUSU's self righteous 'warning' to the purported 'slanderers' that they .

possess a copy of the complaint written by the victim? Are they threatening to make the complaint public, .

.

~ .

thereby subjecting the victim to further outrage and humiliation? Do they realize that the very demand for .

justice by the victiin in the face of tremendous social pressure is an act requiring enormous courage? Are .

.

they blink.ered to how it is exactly this kind of social pressure that compels thousands of victimized, .

brutalized women to suffer injustice without a murmur? Do they not see that such a threat smacks ofthe .

most putrid kind of patriarchy? Or are they so thoroughly numbed by their own 'real radicalism' that they .

actually believe their "comrades-in-arms" to be incapable of any wrong? Perhaps the JNUSU believes that .

they are being made victims ofa grand conspiracy --that the GSCASH, the Executive Council, the victim .

and political outfits in the opposition have hatched this elaborate, two-year-long, diabolical ploy to bring .

about their downfall? Perhaps in their paranoia, they even imagine these 'partners-in-crime' to .

conspiratorially sit together and laugh over their successful 'counter-revolutionary' gambit! .

.

We believe it is high time the JNUSU stopped diiJy..daUying with respect to its loyalties. We challenge .

the JNUSU to clearly and unambiguously state its stand on the verdict of the case and its position on .

the revocation of the out-of-bounds order for the victim. We also demand a public apology from the .

.

JNUSU office bearers for their thinly veiled threat of making the victim's complaint public. Silence .

from the JNUSU on these burning issues would amount to a blunt betrayal of the trust of the e.ntire .

.

students' community. .
