Journalists:- Frontline Workers During The Pandemic

Posted on

Media personnel are at risk during natural disasters and are supposed to consider as frontline workers availing them with vaccine drive and insurance benefits.

Personnel from central and state police organizations, civil defense volunteers, military forces, jail staff, revenue officials involved in surveillance, disaster management volunteers, and municipal workers, according to the center, are frontline workers.

Other kinds of personnel, such as government departments of banking, railways, and journalists, are also included as frontline workers in several Union territories and states. The federal government advises states to follow the guidelines set forth by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, but the health secretary says states can add new categories and are required to administer vaccines procured directly by the state government.

The people of the world are currently witnessing a unique way of media working and activistic activity. Media is the fourth pillar of democracy, acting as a bridge between the people and the government by identifying its flaws. This pandemic prompted many to look between the lines of one of the world’s longest written constitutions.

At this time, the population must share accurate information about current events, problems, and solutions. The media can help us get justice. Although the Supreme Court of India has established a mobile app for journalists to attend virtual hearings, they are not required to come out. In addition, the Supreme Court plans to release Indicative Notes on mobile apps and websites, which will aid in the compilation of judgments. However, fieldwork will be required to connect with citizens and solve problems. As a result, crowd exposure is unavoidable.

Because of the rise in Covid-19 disease across the country, many states have designated journalists as frontline workers, requiring them to get vaccinated first, ahead of others such as doctors, nurses, and police officers. It is critical to do so since fundamental rights apply to all citizens of the country, and media workers are no exception. Photographers, videographers, cameramen, technical workers, and editorial staff are among the frontline media professionals listed.

Frontline workers are those who work day and night to stabilize the situation, and I believe that, while others are battling for their rights, media professionals (newspapers, video, and audio sources) are left behind. Isn’t it true that they have a right to life? Well, the Federation of All India Medical Associations, The Editor Guild of India, The Kerala Union of Working Journalists, and others have addressed this issue, informing Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the inclusion of media professionals as frontline workers, which has received widespread support, including from Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Journalists, like other frontline employees, are exposed to the public regularly and “cannot work from home.” They also engage with danger daily to cover public and pandemic concerns.

After the death of Vipin Chand, a 41-year-old visual media journalist in Kochi, the demand has grown even stronger. The Press Council of India had previously issued a statement. Furthermore, working without protection is difficult for them. According to the Geneva-based Press Emblem Campaign, India is one of the top three countries in the globe where journalists have died as a result of Covid-19.

According to the center’s new vaccine policy, 50% of vaccines are free, while the remaining 50% must be procured on their own. Both Biotech and the Serum Institute have taken a step back in terms of completing the order. To begin, the state governments of Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Odisha, Karnataka, and others declared journalists to be frontline workers and mandated vaccination for all, regardless of age. 

Conclusion:-

The media service is a smooth one that keeps people informed about current events. In addition, the Odisha government has announced an ex-gratia of Rs. 15 lakh for the families of journalists who died as a result of Covid-19, and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik stated, “A total of 6,944 working journalists in the state have been covered under the Gopabandhu Sambadika Swasthya Bhima Yojana.” They would each receive a Rs 2 lakh health insurance policy.”

The journalist union, Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh, recently filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition in the Bombay High Court, claiming that twelve states have declared journalists and other media personnel as frontline workers (Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh v State of Maharashtra & Anr.).

Education System During Pandemic:- Online Examination And Results

Posted on

Introduction

The spread of COVID-19 has led to the closure of educational institutions around the world. This has posed a challenge to universities’ preparedness for a crisis that will necessitate the use of new technology, such as hardware and software, to facilitate successful online learning. This closure has expedited the development of online learning environments, allowing students to continue their studies without interruption.

 This has posed a challenge to universities’ preparedness for a crisis that will necessitate the use of new technology, such as hardware and software, to facilitate successful online learning. This closure has expedited the development of online learning environments, allowing students to continue their studies without interruption.

Many universities have been looking into the best ways to distribute online course content, engage students, and administer exams. Hence, COVID-19, while being a danger to humanity, has evolved institutions for investing in online learning.

Online learning systems are web-based software for distributing, monitoring, and managing courses over the Internet.2 It entails the use of technological advances to direct, design, and deliver learning content as well as to facilitate two-way communication between students and faculty.3 They include features such as whiteboards, chat rooms, polls, quizzes, discussion forums, and polls that allow students to participate in discussions.

What Are The Views Of Teacher’s On Online Education:-

According to the faculty, online learning made distance learning more manageable and provided students with easy access to teachers and teaching materials. It has also resulted in a reduction in the use of travel resources and other costs. Administrative responsibilities such as lecture recording and attendance assessment were made easier. During the lockdown, both students and teachers agreed that online learning modes had aided student centrality. The pupil had evolved into a self-directed learner who could learn at any time of day.

Teachers and students stated that they were unable to teach and learn practical and clinical work using online learning methods. They could only teach and assess knowledge components. Teachers were unable to measure student understanding during online classes due to a lack of fast response. Students also cited a restricted attention span as a drawback, as well as the resource-intensive nature of online learning. Some teachers also complained that pupils misbehaved and attempted to use online resources during exams while studying online.

Problems In Online Education:-

The availability of the Internet in provincial and rural areas, the speed and cost of the Internet, the availability of electronic devices to access the Internet, and the lack of interaction between students and teachers were among the most prevalent issues related to online education in general. While the lack of application of the clinical context, the unavailability of online knowledge in certain areas, such as veterinary anatomy, the difficulty of delivering practical lessons online, and the loss of touch with the animals were all challenges connected with online veterinary training.

How Online Education Can Be Improved? 

To improve online education in general, it is recommended that platforms for online learning be provided, that students be provided with electronic devices to access the Internet, that Internet speed be improved, that cheaper or even free Internet packages be provided during the pandemic, that teachers be trained, and that student-teacher interaction is improved. Additionally, providing virtual resources to simulate lab work, teaching hands-on lessons using interactive technologies, such as 3D films and animations, and providing accessible e-books and instructional videos for hands-on lessons are all advised to improve online veterinary education.

Recommendations To Improve:-

The following are the students’ proposals for improving online learning:-

  • Universities should provide online learning platforms with simple access to study resources.
  • Provide students with electronic devices, such as computers and tablets, to access the Internet.
  • Provide training to teachers on e-learning tools and IT skills.
  • Improving internet speeds and providing cheaper or even free internet packages during the pandemic.
  • Improve the way of teaching by encouraging students to learn in different methods and attract them to study online.
  • Provide virtual resources to simulate lab work or live streaming directly from the lab.
  • Improve the interaction between students and teachers by assigning different fun activities.
  • Decreasing in the amount of work in the classroom could help in reducing student stress.
  • Provide quizzes and online assignments after each lesson to measure student understanding.
  • Hands-on learning through interactive tools, such as videos and 3D animations, is significantly more effective than text materials such as power points and pdfs, voice recordings should be provided with the lesson text.

Conclusion:-

Teachers and students advocated for the faculty’s continued development. When teaching online, they suggested reducing the cognitive burden and increasing engagement. Case-based learning can be started online, according to those in clinical years. However, other people believe that after the COVID-19 pandemic is under control, revision classes and psychomotor practices on teaching should be implemented. They recommended purchasing premium software and other supervision software to detect cheating and plagiarism in order to increase the quality.

The current study advocates for the adoption of online learning in medical and dentistry schools because of its numerous benefits. E-learning modalities promote student-centered learning and are simple to manage during a lockdown. It’s worth noting that online learning in Pakistan is still in its early stages. It began as “emergency remote learning,” and with more investment, we will be able to overcome any obstacles. Teachers must be taught in the usage of online modes as well as the development of lesson plans that are less cognitively demanding and more interactive.

The Supreme Court’s Judgment on why a Suit for Redemption must be Allowed

Posted on

-Report by Jayseeka Virdi

The Supreme Court on Friday set aside the judgment and decree passed by the First Appellate Court and that of the High Court and passed a decree in favor of the plaintiffs. A bench consisting of Justice Hemant Gupta, A.S. Bopanna said that the suit for redemption of the mortgaged property filed by the appellants must be allowed.

PLAINTIFF’S CONTENTION

The plaintiff relied on various cases to prove its stand, they contended that in Pandit Chunchun Jha v. Sheikh Ebadat Ali & Anr., the suit by the plaintiff for redemption was dismissed by the High Court but when an appeal was filed in the Supreme Court, that appeal was approved. Further, that contended that in the case of Shri Bhaskar Waman Joshi v. Shri Narayan Rambilas Agarwal, the Supreme Court upheld the right of redemption. Counsel for the plaintiff relied on the evidence of the conduct of transferors/defendants which indicated the character of the transaction as a sale. (but this was further dismissed by the Court). A complete reading of the document would show that a sum of Rs.3,000/- was taken as a loan from the defendant for household expenses. The same was to be returned and the defendant was bound to retransfer the land. The condition that if the plaintiff is not able to pay the loan amount within one year, the document will be taken as a permanent sale deed is a contentious clause between the parties.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • SC heard the CIVIL APPEAL NO. 10197 OF 2010 filed by the plaintiff which challenges the judgment passed by the HC which affirmed the order passed by the First Appellate Court.
  • Both the Courts ruled in favor of the defendants and dismissed the suit for redemption filed by the plaintiffs of the mortgaged property.
  • The petitioner wanted his land back from the defendant by giving him the amount he took from him as per the document, and the defendant denied giving him back his. The plaintiff/appellant through this appeal prays in the SC for the redemption of his lands. The SC ruled in favor of the plaintiff and allowed the appeal.

DEFENDANT’S CONTENTION

The learned counsel relied on the judgment of Vanchalabai Raghunath Ithape (Dead) by LR v. Shankarrao Baburao Bhilare (Dead) by LRs & Ors. 10. In this case, the suit for redemption filed by them was maintained. But he said that the cases reported in Umabai and Tulsi were not brought to the notice of this Court. The learned counsel contended that, since such judgments were not being considered, the judgment of the Supreme Court in the Vanchalabai case could not form a valid and binding precedent on the Court. The learned counsel for the defendants further referred to Dharmaji Shankar Shinde & Ors. v. Rajaram Shripad Joshi (Dead) through LRs & Ors, the suit of redemption filed by the plaintiffs was dismissed by this Court. Another judgment relied on by him was Sopan (Dead) through his LR v. Syed Nabi. Learned counsel for the defendants also referred to the fact that the suit by plaintiffs was filed after twenty years of the document being executed and, during the time, the defendants had improved the land. Therefore, because of this, the plaintiff was not allowed to demand redemption.

SUPREME COURT ALLOWED THE APPEAL

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal by the plaintiffs and said that the defendant’s contention that the plaintiff had filed suit for redemption after 20 years of execution of the document could not be accepted because the limitation period for filing a suit for redemption was 30 years. Therefore, the Court said that they found the order of the First Appellate Court which accepted the appeal of the defendants and dismissed the suit for redemption was not legally sustainable, and the same goes for the order of the High Court.

What are the key provisions of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882?

  • Section 63 of the Act states that accession by the mortgagee, during the mortgage being continued, the mortgagor shall be allowed to such accession on redemption, but if a contract has been signed to the contrary then he shall not be entitled to accession even in redemption.
  • Section 63(a) of the Act, liability of mortgagor to pay for improvement arises only if the mortgagee incurred the costs in an unavoidable situation, for example, to prevent it from destroying or necessity arose because of the security being inadequate or to comply with an order bypassed a competent authority.
  • Section 58(c) of the Act, as amended in the year 1929 and a proviso was added to the section, which said that no transaction will be considered to be a mortgage, unless and until such condition is already present in the particular document which affects the sale.
