World’s Largest Lesson

On September 25^th 2015, 193 world leaders will commit to the Global Goals for Sustainable Development. 17 goals to achieve 3 extraordinary things in the next 15 years. End extreme poverty. Fight inequality and injustice. Fix climate change.  If every school in the world teaches children about these goals, we will help them become the generation that changed the world.

That’s why the Global Goals Campaign in partnership with UNICEF and a host of children’s heroes such as Serena Williams, MalalaYousafzai, Neymar, DaniAlves, KoloTouré and Nancy Ajram, have got together to create the World’s Largest Lesson. Schools in over 100 countries are taking part and we want you to join them!

All you have to do is teach a lesson about the Global Goals in the week of the 27^th September. Spend 30 minutes or an hour introducing students to this new “to-do” list for people and planet in assembly or class. All the resources you need are available in 10 languages at  www.globalgoals.org/worldslargestlesson

The World’s Largest lesson is a film written bySir Ken Robinson and animated by Oscar winning Aardman Animation that will challenge students to help fight global inequality, end poverty and protect the planet, using their very own superpowers. It’s introduced by celebrities in different languages to inspire children.

‘Heroes for Change’is a comic book fromleading comic writers and illustrators. It’s beautiful and introduces the goals and sets out the impact they will have as a collective. Use the comic to help inspire children to put on their ‘blue capes’ ad work together to change the world.

The World We Want is a guide to the Global Goals for children and young people that gives you and your students the background information that they need

Lesson plans from our friends across the world. We’ve gathered a group of passionate celebrities and teachers to create excitinglessons plans that range from introducing the new Global Goals as a whole, to ones that focus on education, gender equality, violence and many more.

We are trying to run as many lessons as possible around the world during the week of September 27^th. Run a lesson if you can or share this message with someone who might be able to!

Then let us know with Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!

DNYS from TGOU

                            TRUE COPY
ELITE PLACEMENT, BANGALORE

To
Mr Atul Parmar
**************
**************
Baroda, Gujarat

Date 06, Feb 2015

Dear Sir,

This is in regard to your application for the post of Medical Officer (Naturopathy and Yoga).
Unfortunately, we had to reject your candidature because of these reasons:
1. You hold DNYS (Diploma in Naturopathy and Yogic Science) qualification through distance education from The Global Open University, Nagaland (TGOU). You appeared for examination from ********* centre in Gujarat.
2. DNYS diploma from TGOU is not approved or recognised by the council of Indian medicine.
3. Several examination centres of TGOU in Gujarat and also other states / cities outside Nagaland are notorious for providing At Home Examination for a bribe of a few thousand rupees.
4. But since TGOU is a statutory university, your DNYS diploma may be a recognized academic qualification but not a recognized medical qualification.

Yours faithfully,
Sunil S.
Manager (HR)

Insurance and Loan for Students and Teachers

Insurance for Students:
Insurance State Insurance and Provident Department provides insurance for students. The premium is Rs 25 and 50 per year and the sum assured is Rs 25000 and 50000. The principals of schools and colleges can contact the nearest office.

Insurance for Students and Teachers: There are several insurance plans available in the market. They require a considerable amount of premium. An alternative is to opt for State Bank’s Group Insurance (General Insurance) available to all Saving Bank account holders. The premium is Rs 100, Rs 200, Rs 400 ... per year and the assured amount is Rs 200000, Rs 400000 and so on. This is the best option since it is very cheap and reliable plan from highly reputed banks: SBI, SBBJ, SBT, SBP, SBM etc (State Bank Group).

Loan for Students and Teachers: Education loan is available from various banks. If you plan to apply for an education loan or any other type of loan from a bank, consider these points:
1. Always apply to reputed bank. Avoid applying to credit societies and non-banking entities. They may be cheaters.
2. Always apply through online application instead of offline. Avoid meeting the manager right away. S/he may insist on bribe for passing the file.
3. Ensure you have an active Saving Account with the bank which is at least 6 or 12 months old. Customers are given preference in loans. Better have a fixed deposit with bank. It will improve your reliability for considering for a loan.
Avoid giving bribe for passing of loan. Make written complaints to the higher officers if you are asked for bribe.
