Is there any individual or NGO (in this group), who are doing service to the students at degree and professional educational level by providing them values and ethics. Mr Jaini, Commissioner of Income Tax, Mumbai is deeply interested in associating with those organistions to provide values and ethics to the students in higher education.

Interested, please get in touch with Mr Jaini to his email id scjiv2020@rediffmail.com

[India_Vision_2020] Promoting Excellence in Education - Both in India and in US

India Vision 20202:45 AM No comments

Friends,

Over the last 1 month, I have been actively involved with my friends in setting up the North South Foundation (NSF) chapter in Grand Rapids, MI.

NSF (www.northsouth.org) is an Indian NGO that conducts contests like - Math Bee, Vocabulary Bee, and Spelling Bee etc for Indian Kids in USA & Canada. Last year about 5000 participated from the 60 odd chapters in US & Canada.

Part of the contest registration fee is used to provide scholarships to the most deserving students in India when they are ready to enter in college. Since its inception in 1989, NSF has sponsored scholarships to more than 3000 students and many of them are now in very good position and helping others like them to get the gift of education.

The best part of this foundation is that it serves dual purpose. One is to promote our kids knowledge and two to support the noble cause of scholarship.

The contest are NOT for Ranking BUT for Learning and also to support a bigger cause back home. Also, every kid is a winner by sheer participation alone for the positive difference they are making to themselves (by learning) and to the meritorious students in India.

For more information, please visit www.northsouth.org. It will be great if more and more good souls take this up and initiate a chapter in their area. If there is a NSF chapter already, it will be a great thing to volunteer for some of their activities.

For more information, please send me a mail at venkatem@meijer.com or call me at 616-717-0028.

Thanks,
Venki

[India_Vision_2020] Why poor kids may make sicker adults

India Vision 20207:54 AM No comments

Scientists have long known that the poor suffer worse health and shorter lives than the rich. Now, researchers have identified what they say are key mechanisms in 13-year-olds that may help explain why this occurs.

The longer 13-year-olds have lived in poverty, the less efficient their bodies become in handling environmental demands, investigators found in a new study.

This "may be related to the fact that children who grow up in poverty have a steeper life trajectory of premature health problems than other children," regardless of later successes in life, said Gary Evans of the College of Human Ecology at Cornell University in New York. The study, co-authored by Evans and Cornell graduate student Pilyoung Kim, appears in the November issue of the research journal Psychological Science.

"Muted responses of stress regulatory mechanisms, which are part of the cardiovascular system, not only compromise the ability of the adolescents' bodies to respond to such stressors as noise, poor housing and family turmoil but also indicate they are suffering from more stress-induced physiological strain," said Evans. "It's very costly to society that low-income children end up getting sick prematurely and die younger."

Evans and Kim assessed markers of stress regulatory systems by measuring overnight levels of a stress hormone, cortisol, and blood pressure reactivity and recovery after a stressor—being asked unexpectedly to do mental math problems. The assessments were conducted in 217 low- and middle-income white adolescents at age 9 and again at 13 in rural New York.

The researchers assessed cumulative physical and social risk exposure by measuring crowding, noise and housing quality along with maternal and youth reports of family turmoil, separation from family and exposure to violence.

"The study provides yet another piece of evidence that poverty and other chronic risk factors induce physiological changes that appear to be related to long-term health problems," said Evans. He also summarized his findings and made policy recommendations before the planning committee of the Robert W. Johnson Foundation Commission to Build a Healthier America on Oct. 17 at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.

Normally, we always count and measure the achievements within 100 days of taking over the office or political parties coming to power etc.

Here is an unique story. Nobody counts the achievement of any person who retires from the Office. As usual, Dr Kalam is different in his own style. Within 100 hundred days of his leaving Rashtrapathi Bhavan, he has

(1) addressed 90 meetings;
(2) visited three countries; and
(3) met nearly six lakhs of youth and students.

Yesterday, he has also launched an epaper "Billion Beats" to reflect the pulse of common people. On behalf of the members of this group, let us all pray His Almighty to give him all strength and health to continue his inspiring Journey, in the Nation Building.

Normally, we always count and measure the achievements within 100 days of taking over the office or political parties coming to power etc.

Here is an unique story. Nobody counts the achievement of any person who retires from the Office. As usual, Dr Kalam is different in his own style. Within 100 hundred days of his leaving Rashtrapathi Bhavan, he has
