“No one should run with a gun on their shoulder, children should be free to think and express themselves.”From the report
When I saw the kids sleeping on the road, - Why? Hello, my name is Abhinav Pandey and you are watching News Pins. You are watching the coverage of the protests that have been going on on News Pins. I was standing near the CP, a place that is a little ahead of the protests. Here I met Shishir ji, he is a popular teacher of the Centurion Defence Academy. And he has a defence academy. Many students are selected from here, NDA, CDS, SSB, in all these places. So he is a teacher and talks about children. So when you came from here, what did you understand? What is the pain of the children? I was invited to a program of a media agency, Ideas on Education, to keep my word. You are standing for children, I acknowledge you for this. You are keeping your words very genuinely from the platform forum. When I came here, because on media and social media, I too had tears, when you were putting the reel, I also had tears. And seeing those tears, quietly, because I was at home, my family was in front, so I... I had to wipe my tears and put the phone down. I'm saying this because for the past 12 years, I've been a mentor to the people of Jindji. I teach the kids. I was going to the side to see what kind of pain the children are suffering. I didn't stop to support or oppose any political party. I stopped to see what the truth is. I stopped to know what my perception is. And I met you. When I saw the children sleeping on the road, I didn't know how many children they were. political party In an democratic country, when a child their thoughts and their issues should be independent. Their thoughts and their point of view should be independent. I have only one point that no one is running with a gun on their shoulder. I came to see and to look at this. I understood. I couldn't understand it now. I was silent. But you told me that you met the children. Did you feel that this is not just a need problem? We are talking about the overall education system. Have you ever heard of a paper being written in a defense exam? The defence exam is the toughest interview in India that I deal with. You must have never heard of the Arm Forces exam. Why is that? Tell me. Why is it not done here? Because the aim of the exam is to teach the country from the Arm Forces. This is why we put so much burden on the children. Children are taught only one objective and it is not the children's fault. This is our ecosystem. I think, this is my perception that there should be reforms in the ecosystem. What is being said to the children? Read the physics, chemistry, bio and give the NEET exam. Why? I will give you a small example. Did you see Covid? What was the role of doctors? Was the role of doctors to be treated? No. I went to the Supreme Court in 2019 for a military nursing exam. The students who score below 350 in NEET get a chance to go to the command, hospital, station, and medical center. You must have seen military nurses in beach-colored uniforms. You know that from 2015 on the grass-root level, those children were told, when we used to go to schools in India, if you go to your village, UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, you will go to Uttarakhand, then the children think that what is there for the bio people, then there is only NEET for the bio people, they say that if I have to go to the army, then what is there, then I told them that after reforming with my team from 2015, they were told that there is a military nursing service exam, its reform went to the Supreme Court, but I never propagated it, I think that a responsible reform the country. - I think that in this education system, sometimes education is being taught, sometimes it is being taught, sometimes it is being taught, sometimes it is being taught. This is a need for overhauling in the education system. One is the peer pressure of the society. I have two questions. One is the peer pressure of the society, the peer pressure of the parents. If this is not done, then? - you So the pain of the teacher, he knows it all by himself. I can't share it in words because I deal with very sensitive exams. I deal with NDA, CDS, AAM forces exams where I produce in the leaders of crisis management. I want to tell you that in AAM forces NDA exam, I send my children from a particular institution. This time I sent 65 children for 400 seats. There are 27 seats in girls, out of which 8 children I have given final recommendation. I am sending the most girls in AAM forces in India. I will say again that this is not the fault of the children. What do we teach our children in 10th and 12th class? If your percentage is 95, then you get 97. Why don't we teach our children to go and play in the evening? hobbies, interests, extracurricular activities. This is my only concern. What I told the Education Minister later, this is not a problem of resigning a person, this should be the broader perspective of the children. Children should think that by resigning a person, will we be able to resolve the children's solution? Should we, especially a person, I think change the system, accountability should come into the system, transparency should come. I am saying that whatever uh Whether it is one government or another, we should understand that this process should not be repeated again. For this, the government will change today and the next one will come tomorrow. What is our stable plan? I want to share a stable plan with you. What is my stable plan? Whatever the government exam may be, whether it is on the youth level, the clerk level or the officer carder level, I think we should find a standard. What should be the standard? We should learn from the army. Don't judge every exam on the basis of knowledge. If you want to judge 100%, then you should judge 50% on knowledge. Divide 50% and put an intelligence test in it. Do you understand the intelligence test? means uh Mentally, psychologically, physically, emotionally, how balanced is the person? How fit is he for an organization? Does he understand the needs of the organization or not? There should be a test for that, for which there are psychological testings, word association test, thematic perception test, in which a picture is shown to the child, what he is writing, he will understand. This is a need of every organization. So I think there should be a personality test on the individual. Secondly, in the personality test, you should also test the personality in the group, that is, is he comfortable in the group or not? You are running an organization like News Pinch. Now, as a leader, you must be thinking that you cannot run this organization without a team. So, we all have to work in a team in a small organization. Whether it is a doctor, an engineer, a soldier of the army, a officer of the army, he always works in a team. You set a standard of 10% of that. 10% for that. Now I am going to tell you the benefits of this. And lastly, you keep it at 50% and if you have a built job, meaning a job of police, paramilitary forces, armed forces, then you will obviously check the physical and medical standards. What will be the benefit of this? You must have heard of it. Suicide cases. Which exam did you hear the most? In this exam. In NEET exam, most of the suicide cases are happening. Why are they happening? There are small children and I will say one more thing to the small children. Today we are protesting. Who is suffering the most? Mental stamina is an officer-like quality. We teach it in classes. You can imagine, if a political party fails in a protest, it will not matter. But you understand, the one who saw your 5 reels,
