total damage is created by the so called parents and the self claimed social welfare and rights , protection etc etc.. sponsored by NRI money. they do not want law to do its duty , teachers not to control the children, parents should not even punish the child . These self claimed terrorists fight for these anti social element and live under the support of their fund . Also media support these people by publicizing children getting trained by schools . eg if any school teacher ask student to clean the school- they make it a big issue .or if a teacher punish a child they draw their own scale of their convenience and the scale will ensure the punishment is wrong with some unverifiable data . I am wondering how they are silent when our PM Shri Naredra Modi asked people to keep the surrounding clean ? more  
NCC to be made compulsory for all schools above class VIII. Retired Army personnel to be used for providing systematic training. more  
Pls check whether this power method will work for rural India http://www.bbc.com/news/business-30542541rk Myanmar uses pop-up power to meet growing energy demand 18 December 2014 Last updated at 23:20 GMT There are no cooling towers or huge turbine halls, just neat lines of white shipping containers. Myanmar's unusual new power plant is made up of 67 containers, delivering enough electricity for the modest demands of about six million people. It's a quick and flexible way to get "fast track" power generation up and running in a country that is desperately short of electricity. Jonah Fisher went to see how it works in practice. more  
We do not have Scouts or NCC or SCC in schools to teach us discipline, helping others, social responsibility, etc. which could help us in disaster management. more
