Class X Students from Rajasthan must go for STSE along with NTSE

Students who are applying for NTSE 2016 from Rajasthan, must also go for STSE i.e. State Talent Search Exam (Rajasthan).
STSE is a Single Stage Exam, will provide a scholarship of Rs.1250/month to top 50 students
STSE is scheduled on 1.Nov 15 and NTSE Stage I is scheduled on 8.Nov 15
NTSE and STSE have the same syllabus (syllabus of Class IX and X)
near about same paper pattern - MAT 50 Questions, LCT 40 Questions and SAT 90 Questions to be solved in 3 hrs, in SAT paper questions only from Maths and Science will be asked, Social Science is not a part of SAT paper as it is in NTSE.
The students who appear for STSE will definitely be in a advantageous position as both the exams (STSE & NTSE Stage I ) wld be conducted by the same organisation i.e. RBSE
So we can say that STSE will act as the Full Dress Rehearsal for NTSE Stage I, will give you an blueprint of NTSE Stage I paper, after STSE you will get 6 days to prepare for S.St as well as the areas where u have lacked in STSE (MAT, LCT, SAT - Science and Maths)
So hurry up guys last date to fill the form for both exams is 15.9.15 and the forms have to be filled in your respective schools only

Have received complaints from many students that there school is not interested in filling the Online formalities of NTSE 2016. In such case I request you to mail the following letter to the email ids given at the end, or can contact on the given numbers also

Dear Sir/Madam
This is to bring to your kind notice, that the Notification for the NTSE Stage I 2016 (Rajasthan) has been issued on 27.8.2015 and it clearly states that the applicants have to file/submit the application form to the school, and school will fill the online formalities and then will send the form, fee challan and form submission copy to the Board. Applications which are directly sent to Board will not be entertained.

I am a parent of a class X student of / I am a student of class X of 
Name of the School -
Address -
CBSE Affiliation No. -
due to some undisclosed reasons the Authorities of this school have denied to accept the NTSE applications. They are willing to countersign the photo of the student as a proof that the student is a regular student of the school, but are not willing to accept the form and forward it to the concerned authorities.
Sir/Madam, As you very well know that last year only scholarship amount of this prestigious exam has been raised from Rs. 500/month to Rs.1250/month which proved to be a great  motivation for students to appear in this exam. We have been preparing for this exam for the last one year and now are being denied a chance to appear in the exam for some undisclosed reason by school authorities .
Sir/Madam, NTSE is the only National level, Government authorised exam which not only provides scholarship, but also recognises the top 1000 talent amongst the class X students in a particular year.
Being denied a chance to appear in this prestigious exam, the students are getting disheartened. 
Its a humble request to you to please take some action at the earliest as the last date to submit the application form in Rajasthan State is 15.9.15,  and please direct the Principal/Authorities to accept the applications of the students fulfill the online formalities and forward it officially to the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education.

Globalisation & Its Impact on Indian Economy

MCQ on Globalisation & Its Impact on Indian Economy
Chapter No. 4
Economics,
https://www.scribd.com/doc/274502388/Globalisation-Its-Impact-on-Indian-Economy

Political Parties

A Political party is a group of people, who come together to contest elections and hold power in the govt.
has three components
i) The Leaders (ii) The active members (iii) followers
Functions
1. Parties contest elections. Elections are fought mainly among the candidates put up by political parties
2. Parties put forward different policies and programmes. Party reduces a vast multitude of opinions into a few basic positions which it supports. A govt. is expected to base its policies on the line taken by the rulig party
3. Parties play a decisive rule in making laws for a country
4. Parties form and run the government
5. Parties that loose in the elections paly the role of the opposition
6. Parties shape public opinion, raise and highlight issues
7. Parties provide people access to government machinery and welfare schemes implemented by governments
Necessities
1. If all the candidates are independent, no one will be able to make any promises to the people about any major policy changes. Government’s utility will remain ever uncertain, no one will be responsible for how the country will be run
2. Parties are directly linked to representative democracies, gather different views on various issues and to present these to the government, brings various representatives together so that a responsible government can be formed
How many parties should we have
more than 750 parties are registered with the Election Commission of India
Single Party System - only one party is allowed to contest election and run the government. e.g. China. Can not be termed as Democracy, as do not provide any option
Two Party System - Power usually changes between two main political parties. Though many parties exist and contest election, but the two main parties only have a serious chance of forming government. e.g. USA, UK
Multi Party System - More than two parties have a reasonable chance of coming to power either by self or in Alliance
NDA - National Democratic Alliance, headed by BJP
UPA - United Progressive Alliance, headed by Congress
Left Front
Party system depends on the nature of society, its social and regional divisions, its history of politics and its system of elections
National Political Parties
Country wide parties, have their units in various states which by and large follow the same policies
Are large and established, gets some special facilities, gets a unique election symbol, are recognized by the Election Commission
National Parties are those which secure atleast 6% of the total votes in the Lok Sabha elections or Assembly Elections in 4 states, wins atleast 4 seats in Lok Sabha
There were Seven National Parties in 2019
All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) : Launched on 1 January 1998 under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee. Recognised as a national party in 2016. The party’s symbol is flowers and grass. Committed to secularism and federalism. Has been in power in West Bengal since 2011. Also has a presence in Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Tripura.
Indian National Congress - founded in 1885, played a dominant role in Indian politics, sought to build a modern, secular, democratic republic. Ruling party at center till 1977 and from 1980 to 89. A centrist party, espouses secularism and welfare of weaker sections and minorites, supports economic reforms with a human face. Currently leads the UPA
Bhartiya Janta Party - Founded in 1980, from Bhartiya Jana Sangh. Draws inspiration from India’s ancient culture and values. Promotes cultural nationalism, wants full territorial and political integration of J&K, Uniform Civil Code, ban on Religious Conversions. Came to power in 1998, leads NDA. Emerged as the largest party with 303 members in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Bahujan Samaj Party - founded in 1984 by Kanshi Ram. Represents Dalits and Minorites. Gets inspiration by the teachings of Sahu Maharaj, Mahatama Phule, Periyar Ramaswamy Naickar and B.R.Ambedkar. Has main base in U.P and substantial presence in neighboring states like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand, Delhi and Punjab.. Has formed government in U.P several times
Communist Party of India - Marxist (CPI-M) - formed in 1964, believes in Marxism- Leninism, supports Socialism, Secularism, Democracy. Opposes Imperialism and Communalism. Enjoys strong support in W.Bengal, Kerala & Tripura. Has ruled W.Bengal for 34 years
Communist Party of India - formed in 1925, believed in Marxism-Leninism, Secularism & Democracy. Opposes Seccissionism and Communalism. Got split in 1964. Significant presence in Kerala, W.Bengal, Punjab, A.P and TN
Nationalist Congress Party - formed in 1999, from a split in Congress. Espouses Democracy, Gandhian Secularism, Equity, Social justice and Federalism. Want high offices in government to be confined to natural born citizens of the country. Significant presence in Meghalaya, Manipur and Assam
State Parties
Are commonly referred to as regional parties. Some of these parties are all India parties that happen to have succeeded only is some states.
A party that secures atleast 6 % of the total votes in an election to the Legislative Assembly of a State and wins atleast two seats is recognized as State Party.
The number and strength of these parties are increasing thus making the Parliament more and more diverse. State parties now get an opportunity to be a part of Coalition government, this has strrngthenend federalism and democracy in our country
Challenges to Political Parties
1. Lack of Internal Democracy - No organisational meetings, no internal elections, hs led to concentration of power in few hands. Those who disagree with the leadership find difficult to continue in the party. Personal loyality to leader becomes more important to loyality to party principles
2. Challenge of Dynastic Succession - Very few ways for an ordinary worker to rise to the top in a party. The top positions are always controlled by members of one family. This is bad for democracy, since people who do not have adequate experience or popular support come to occupy positions of power.
3. Growing Role of Money and Muscle Power - Rich people and companies often influence the policies and decisions of the party
4. Do not seems to offer a meaningful choice - Decline in ideological differences, those who want really different policies have no option available
How can parties be reformed ?
Recent Efforts
(i) Anti Defection Law - if any MP or MLA changes parties, will loose the seat in the Legislature. This has helped bring defection down, but has made any dissent even more difficult, members have to accept whatever the party leaders decide.
(ii) Supreme Court’s order makes its mandatory for every candidate who contests elections to file an Affidavit giving details of his property and criminal cases pending against him
(iii) Election Commission passed an order making it necessary for political parties to hold their organisational elections and file their income tax returns
Suggestions made to reform political parties
(i) a law should be made to regulate the internal affairs of political parties
(ii) to give a minimum number of tickets, about one-third, to women candidates
(iii) there should be state funding of elections
Citizens can play their role in reforming political parties
(i) People can put pressure on political parties through petitions, publicity and agitations
(ii) Political parties can improve if those who want this join political parties. The problem of bad politics can be solved by more and better politics.
