International Mountain Day December 11
Covering around 27 percent of the earth’s land surface, mountains
play a critical role in moving the world towards sustainable economic
growth. They not only provide sustenance and wellbeing to 720 million
mountain people around the world, but indirectly benefit billions more
living downstream.
In particular, mountains provide freshwater, energy and food – resources that will be increasingly scarce in coming decades. However, mountains also have a high incidence of poverty and are extremely vulnerable to climate change, deforestation, land degradation and natural disasters.
The challenge is to identify new and sustainable opportunities that can bring benefits to both highland and lowland communities and help to eradicate poverty without contributing to the degradation of fragile mountain ecosystems .
Commitment and will to advance this cause were strengthened during the International Year of Mountains in 2002, and mountains have gained an increasingly high profile on agendas at all levels.
The Year also led to the adoption of resolution 57/245, in which the General Assembly designated 11 December as International Mountain Day, and encouraged the international community to organize events at all levels on that day to highlight the importance of sustainable mountain development.

The Rural Institute of Open Schooling
Rural institute of open schooling was intended to be a medium of making education
easy for students who are unable to attend regular classes. The challenge before
us was to make the instructional delivery of curriculum convenient and as effective
as regular classes for the students. It had to be a well-planned and organized extended
learning endeavor which allowed students to pursue other activities without affecting
their learning. Reaching out to them through the online medium was an excellent
way to deliver educational resources and nullify the location constraint.
The National policy on Education suggested strengthening of RIOS for extending open
learning facilities in a phased manner at secondary and Sr. Secondary levels all
over the country and abroad as an independent system with its own curriculum and
examination leading to awarding of certificates. This was intended to address the
needs of students on working professionals in India and abroad to further the cause
of spreading education.
RIOS offers a viable and convenient approach for education as comprehensive study
material is delivered online after admission. The process of admission is simple
too as students only need to register online and get admitted with the enrollment
number sent right away. The instructional resources made available to the students
are without the bottleneck of language. They have the option to choose the language
of their study material. The results of pass students are backed by online verification.
Spreading the cause of making education convenient through the internet was a novel
initiative suggested by the National Policy on Education and we took this opportunity
to start RIOS. The way our instructional deliver and online facilitation of educational
courses have expanded in India and abroad, it is a fulfillment of our aspiration
to play a pivotal role on making education convenient for students all over the
world.
You can choose subjects from the scheme of studies given in table. However, you
will be required to successfully complete a minimum of five subjects with at least
one language or at most two languages, which is compulsory for certification.

Make milk adulteration punishable with life imprisonment
The Supreme Court Thursday urged the state governments to make necessary
amendments to their laws to make production and marketing of
adulterated milk, which is injurious to human consumption, an offence
punishable with life imprisonment.
The observation by an apex court bench of Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan and Justice A.K. Sikri came after taking note of Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Odisha having made the sale of adulterated milk, contaminated with synthetic material, an offence punishable with life imprisonment.
Asking the states to make the law to deal with production and sale of milk which is harmful to human beings more stringent, the court observed that the maximum punishment of six months for such offences under the Food Safety and Standards Act was grossly inadequate.
The court was hearing a public suit which said samples collected by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India in 2011 revealed large-scale sale of adulterated milk across the country.
