The ANSU further said the murder of a promising young member of the community has not only shocked the people of the state but also failed to wake up the government from its deep slumber.

Revamp the education system in Arunachal
Dear Editor,
It will be a great service to the society if your esteemed Daily highlights the present
scenario regarding school admission for children, particularly in private schools.
It is almost a competition in which poor people are facing a lot of problems. Poor
people are compelled to withdraw their wards from the government schools thinking
that the future of their children will be in dark if the children are put in government
schools. It is because of some irresponsible, irregular, untrained and undedicated
teachers serving in the government schools. Moreover, there is no sufficient teachers,
no infra-
It is not a problem for the rich people in educating their children in private schools but for the poor people it is a Herculean task as the admission of children to private school involved huge money.
The political leaders and intellectuals should think about the ways and means to make the education reachable to poor children.
Remedial steps may be taken up immediately by the M.L.As in their respective area
by creating awareness on the education related problems. If people co-
It is a request to government of Arunachal Pradesh for modifying the present education system of the state. The government schools are running without sufficient teachers which compel the people to withdraw their children and admit them in private schools.
On the other hand some private schools are performing well and equipped with sufficient teaching staff, there are other private schools also which do not have trained teachers and well equipped educational facilities. This type of schools kill the life of the children.
More remedial steps may be taken up by creating more teacher’s posts and conducting fruitful training for the teachers. Creating more schools without sufficient and trained teachers will serve no purpose.

Industrialized economy
The Asia-
From 1970-
The report highlights the region's inefficient use of resources as measured by material
intensity -
According to figures cited, China is responsible for over 60 per cent of the region's total domestic material consumption, and India for 14 per cent.
The rise in use of metal ores and industrial minerals use in India indicates that the country is entering a rapid acceleration phase in its transition to an industrialized economy, the UN agency notes.
Growing affluence and material intensity were the primary drivers of raw material consumption, and any attempts to regulate the industry would have to address both, the report stresses.
The report recommends the establishment a global harmonized database that shares material use data for all countries as an important step in helping policymakers and businesses anticipate resource issues, and to provide academia with reliable data to support decision makers with the policy relevant science.
