The End of Anna Hazare? The chickens are coming home to roost for Anna Hazare, who has  abruptly called off his latest protest fast . The 74-year-old social activist, who emerged as the face of an anti-corruption movement after his first, breathtakingly successful, fast at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi in April , also announced the indefinite postponement of his mass “courting of arrest” scheme and planned sit-ins in front of the residences of Congress bigwigs like Sonia Gandhi.

whatever may be the case, education must be a part of life and schools need to be free of cost for education.
Cyril S M  |  Argues in support of  |  9 months ago
Yes. But there should be local betterment boards / committee to monitor and guide the school adminstartion.
Kavitha Shankar  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  1 year ago
There is a need of standardization here. A small, very small amount of fee should be there so no one takes benefit of the facility. The standard of education must be good enough to lure people to admit their children to such school and shun those...

In order to sell products cheaper orhanizations resort to all kind of short cuts which lead to supply of inferior quality products. They may last for the warranty period with out much problems but life is short.
Meena Deshmukh  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  9 months ago
I think it is time to go back to the small shops which has unique and affordable items which stand out. May be this is the high time the brands should understand what it stands for.
