The education and job should be on the basis of merit and not on the basis of caste. Otherwise, talented and capable people cannot reach in deserved positions. Government should take action to stop such unnecessary practices from this society.
Government will not do anything and as a matter of fact they have perpetuated caste reservation for ever. How government will do anything. Our so called reformers like Gandhi and Vivekanada also backed the caste system. So the only hope is a revolution
Like 'green revolution' and 'red revolution, we need to start a 'merit revolution' to stop the reservation system of the government for the scheduled castes. Otherwise, our country won't have any development. India needs people for growth and development. Can we progress, if the government recruit undeserved candidate from the scheduled cast for a particular position?
What you think merit revolution is possible in our country. Here PG and Ph.d are applying for office assistant jobs.
Goes to show how useless our degrees have become...get a seat through reservation and scraping through a degree does not make for quality, I guess such PHDs and PGs are fit for the jobs they are applying for !
No doubt that value of degree decline in these days, but all degrees are not alike. It is not possible for all students to secure 90% in exams. Average students are not getting job because of reservation. More than 50% seats are reserved but any candidate from reserve class secure marks equal to general catigory than he/she is selected in general catageory, mean less seats available for general class candidates.
Degree and the overall value of education lost value long ago. These are the times, when every degree can be purchased for a price. On the top of all RESERVATIONS. Now one can imagine, where and Why the Merit has gone and disappeared in to oblivion.

A care Giver could be a family member or an unskilled person who has basic training in caring for the elderly. A care Giver assists an elderly person in their daily activities like bathing, going to the Toilet, feeding and dressing. Care givers may also assist the aged to drive away loneliness, depression, low self esteem and create a sense of Security in the remaining part of their lives.
I'm not a Care Giver. But visited a few Old Age Homes run by Voluntary Organisations.
I don't think Technology can match with Personal care.
Shana sez: Actually there are a lot of homes where old people are living by themselves, because their kids don't wish to care for them, its out of their own choice, or because the kids are working very far away. Or overseas. So what happens, and I know this because its happened with some of my elderly relations in their late eighties or late seventies, is that they hire a nurse or something. But in some cases those people are not professionally qualified. And are more like domestic workers. Or they might be temparamentally unsuited for the job. Normally, because its a paid job, one cannot expect them to feel extra attached to the client, unless its in their nature to be unconditionally affectionate. Others might exploit or cheat or mistreat their clients, who are dependent on them. In the cases where children are attentive, but owing to their own lifestyles and jobs, cannot be there fulltime, things like Skype have been useful to monitor their condition. But they have to be told to use it, because anyway its user friendly, so if one is not a technophobe it can be done. Moreover, in towns like the ones I am in now, they are developing apps and other mobiles with special single digit numbers that can connect you to a helpline for emergency assistance. If you are alone and having a stroke or something.
In my personal opinion, older people have to be monitored constantly like babies, especially if they are frailer. Because anything can happen. And if you can do this from afar, by getting the person online and seeing their health status etc, or even connecting them to a doctor, who can monitor them from far. It will be for everyone's convenience. The personalised health model is also to make things convenient so that you don't have to queue for a doctor-older people find this particularly strainful. Instead you can get assistance and also reminders about when to take your medicine etc. Ideally, there is nothing like personal assistance, but when its not humanly possible, there are going to be good substitutes.
But you need to know they exist, how and when to use them. And the interfaces will be very user-friendly, so even someone who is not tech-savvy can apply them.
I'm doubtful if a sick and old person can handle the apps. Old age is a stage, where more external assistance is required. This can be achieved only through a dedicated family member or another person who is well versed with the Patient's needs and necessities.
If a patient is in a position to handle Apps on his own, I don't think there is a necessity of any Care Giver.
Shana sez: That's what I'm trying to say. It depends on how adaptable and flexible towards new technologies. I feel its usually designed to make human lives more comfortable and convenient. And each time its being simplified for better use. But if you are 'used to things a certain way', then you might fail to take advantage of the help that is offered right in front of you. Of course in this case it also depends on the person's will. Some very sick, elderly people are still stubborn enough to do things on their own and use help when needed. Others might be just too sick to move without help every minute. Or there might be those who would have used the help but didn't know it existed because they didn't have the info, or access to internet, for instance. And the Internet of Things has a healthcare segment that is being developed for this purpose. You can do further reading if you are interested.
I agree. Adaptability is the factor that plays a key role in the success or failure of Health care Apps. I also agree that new technologies help in making the things easier. Unfortunately, this is not so. Adaptability to new technologies especially by senior citizens is difficult. But I'm sure, with time, Healthcare segment will open up new avenues for all.

India is not country in which some one punished within 2 or 3 days. Country have proper system of enquiry and investigation. No one can raise finger on impartiality of Indian courts.
Very true.In this context , Rajnath Singh, Home Minister, asserted that no body can go scot-free if anti national statements are raised. Home Minister already instructed Delhi Police Commissioner to enquire. Until the final report arrives, let's all wait.

Yes it is right, Hindu is over tolerance people, this is reason all other religion makes room in this country and grow.

@ anil It is new information for me that David was wrestling Champion. You know Janki Dass, we was cycleist and also represent India in Olympic games before freedom.
Of course David was not a wrestler at all , there are three actors by the name of David in America who were all professional wrestlers and Rambabu has posted without checking out or making sure !
That was a grave mistake on my part Usha ! I'm sorry.
Take it easy, I am sharing here one information about Janki Dass. when he was going to participate in Olympic games, India was not got freedom. He went to Gandhi ji and said Bapu which flag I will hoist, Union jeck?. Bapu said no, and he gave him Tiranga, flag of congress, with his autograph.
In fact Janki Das was instrumental in introducing Madhbala to Hindi cinema - Apparently he saw her carrying a tiffin carrier to her father who worked as an Engine driver on the railways. Janki Das happened to see her a couple of times and ltruck by her beauty, told about her to the then famous film maker Kidar Sharma who gave her the leading role in Neel Kamal opposite Raj Kapor. Madhubala had earlier acted as a child artiste in a couple of films.
