Role of Education in the Eradication of Poverty

Poverty remains a persistent global challenge, affecting millions of people around the world. While poverty has complex causes, education stands out as one of the most effective tools for its eradication. The role of education in breaking the cycle of poverty is well-documented and essential. This article explores how education plays a pivotal role in eradicating poverty and highlights the importance of investing in quality education systems. 

Education is the cornerstone of empowerment. When individuals have access to quality education, they acquire knowledge and skills that can significantly enhance their economic prospects. This empowerment goes beyond academic knowledge; it includes critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, which are crucial for escaping poverty. Education equips individuals with the tools they need to secure better job opportunities, increase their earning potential, and make informed financial choices. 

One of the most significant aspects of education's role in poverty eradication is its potential to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty. When parents receive an education, they are more likely to provide a better environment for their children. Educated parents are more aware of the importance of education and are better equipped to support their children's educational journey. This creates a positive feedback loop, where successive generations have the opportunity to improve their circumstances through education. 

Education is a powerful equalizer. It levels the playing field by providing marginalized and underprivileged individuals with a chance to overcome social and economic disparities. When societies prioritize accessible and quality education for all, it reduces inequality and ensures that everyone, regardless of their background, has an opportunity to improve their standard of living. This, in turn, contributes to the eradication of poverty on a larger scale. 

Education directly impacts employability. A well-educated workforce is more attractive to employers and can adapt to evolving job markets. As economies shift towards knowledge-based industries, individuals with higher levels of education are better prepared to secure stable, well-paying jobs. By enhancing employability, education creates a pathway for individuals to escape poverty and build a sustainable future. 

Education not only prepares individuals for existing job opportunities but also nurtures entrepreneurial skills. Entrepreneurship can be a powerful tool for poverty eradication, as it allows individuals to create their employment opportunities. Education equips people with the knowledge and skills needed to start and manage businesses, fostering economic growth and self-reliance in impoverished communities. 

Eradicating poverty is not only about increasing income; it also involves sustainable development. Education plays a critical role in promoting environmental awareness, healthcare, and social cohesion. It enables individuals and communities to make informed decisions that support their long-term well-being while safeguarding the planet. 

To leverage education as a tool for poverty eradication, it is crucial to ensure that education is accessible to all. This includes eliminating barriers such as gender discrimination, financial constraints, and geographical disparities. Governments, NGOs, and international organizations must work collaboratively to provide quality education to even the most remote and marginalized communities. 

The role of education in the eradication of poverty is undeniable. It empowers individuals, breaks the generational cycle of poverty, reduces inequality, enhances employability, fosters entrepreneurship, promotes sustainable development, and advocates for accessible education. When societies prioritize education as a fundamental right, they are taking a significant step toward achieving economic and social equity. By investing in quality education systems, we can make significant strides in the fight against poverty, ultimately creating a fairer and more prosperous world for all.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on December 12 introduced three revised Bills in the Lok Sabha to replace the existing British-era criminal laws, after withdrawing the previous versions, introduced in August this year. The three Bills are set to replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860; the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.

      The IPC will be replaced by the Bhartiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita Bill, 2023; the CrPC of 1973 will be replaced by the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita, 2023 whereas the Indian Evidence Act of 1872 will be replaced by the Bhartiya Sakshya (Second) Bill, 2023.

Bills were referred to the Department related Standing Committee on Home Affairs headed by Brij lal for further examination. Committee submitted the report on Nov 10, 2023.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah insisted that the bills were withdrawn and reintroduced to save effort that would have gone towards passing separate amendments.

It shall come into force on such dates as the Central Government may, by notification and in the Official Gazette, appoint, and different dates may be appointed for different provisions of the Sanhita.

 

Bhartiya Nyaya(Second) Sanhita, 2023

    BNS 2023 replaced Indian Penal Code 1860, incorporating 356 sections (511 in IPC), maintaining most of the IPC provisions, introducing new offenses, eliminating court-struck-down offenses and enhancing penalties for various offenses.

   Repeal of Provisions: The Bill seeks to replace the IPC by repealing 22 of its existing provisions.

  Changes to Existing Provisions: The Bill proposes alterations to 175 existing provisions within the IPC.

 Introduction of New Sections:

       Section 109: Organized Crime

       Section 110: Petty Organized Crime

       Section 111: Offense if Terrorist Act

       Section 150: Acts Endangering Sovereignty, Unity, and Integrity

       Section 302: Snatching

   Other modifications:

●        Sedition: Introduced under a new name 'deshdroh' with wider definition

●       Mandatory Minimum Sentence: In several provisions, mandatory minimum sentences prescribed which may limit scope for judicial discretion

●       Death by Negligence: Elevates punishment for causing death by negligence from two to five years (for doctors - 2 yrs imprisonment)

             

Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha(Second) Sanhita, 2023

    BNSS replaces CrPC 1973 and consists of 531 sections with 177 sections revised, 9 new sections added, and 14 sections repealed.

  This bill introduces ‘community service’ as punishment and expands police powers regarding handcuffs usage and extends police custody beyond the initial 15 days of arrest.

Section 187(3) of the Bill, which corresponds to Section 167 (2)(a) of the CrPC ,does not contain the phrase ‘otherwise than in the custody of the police’ — implying that the prescribed 15-day-period of police custody can now be an aggregate of shorter periods of custody sought over the entire period of investigation lasting 60 or 90 days (depending on the nature of the offense.)

 

 

Bharatiya Sakshya(Second) Bill, 2023

     This Bill aims to replace the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. Proposes changes to 23 provisions and introduces one new provision. It contains 170 sections in total.

●        Admissibility of Electronic Records: The Bill permits the admissibility of electronic or digital records as evidence, recognizing technological advancements.

●       Expansion of Secondary Evidence: The scope of secondary evidence has been expanded to include various forms, such as copies made from the original by mechanical processes, counterparts of documents, and oral accounts of document contents given by a person who has seen it.

 

Need for the bill:

      The existing complex procedures of IPC, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act have contributed to substantial court backlogs and delayed justice delivery. As on December 31, 2022, the total pending cases in district and subordinate courts was pegged at over 4.32 crore.

The proposed Bills bring about significant changes by introducing new offences that were absent in the IPC, addressing issues like acts endangering sovereignty, organized crime, terrorism, mob lynching, and sexual intercourse based on deceitful means or false promises of marriage.

 

Conclusion:

   India's criminal laws have evolved over the centuries, influenced by indigenous legal traditions, foreign invasions and the colonial legacy. The legal system continues to undergo reforms to address contemporary challenges and uphold principles of justice, equality and human rights.

The American Nightmare documentary: What happen to Huskins?

Image Source

American Nightmare, which is now streaming on Netflix is a subject of true crime series. The three part documentary begin streaming on Wednesday.

Huskins and Quinn's both working as a physical therapist and used to about their grievous experience and how they overturned their life nearly decade ago.

The Vallejo Calif, was awenkend in the mid of night by armed intruders, drugged and purblind before huskin was kidnapped for two days and raped by holder.

Kidnappers demanded $8,500 to free the huskins, but huskins turn up at her mother's home at her orange countly.

Police didn't believe on Quinn when he called for 911 after freeing himself and she reappeared at her family's home.

Huskins and Quinn's story became a harrowing example of what can happen when the justice system fails the victim of crime.

Those months in between were unsustainable and we weren't able to go back to work," Quinn said. "Partly because of trauma and partly because they wouldn't let us. Who wants to hire a hoaxer? So that's a big challenge in the digital age. You can't move towns and get away from it. Anyone can just search you and then decide 'I don't want to work with this person,' or 'I don't want to hire this person."

"I don't know if I would've had the confidence to be able to return to work knowing that people would still think that I'm some con artist or hoaxer," Huskins said. "A big part of our job is putting our hands on people, quite literally, to help facilitate their healing. And a big piece of that is trust and how can you trust someone who lied about something so significant as a kidnapping? I'm not sure where we'd be."

Police didn't believe first on couple who informed about the intruders wearing scuba gear and came at home in the mid night and armed with taser guns and bound young couple.

Finally the authorities broke after the reappearance of huskin and heard about roughly a similar case 40 miles away linked with Matthew Muller, a former Marine and disbarred educated immigration attorney, to their kidnapping

The first two episodes of American Nightmare was narrated by Quinn and huskin relying how the huskin kidnapped in the mid of night and proceed couple of days with this story.

I remember being asleep and hearing a voice and thinking it was a dream," Huskins told ABC News. "But the voice kept talking and I just remember my eyes shot open and I could see the walls illuminated with a white light that was flashing and I could see a couple of red laser dots crossing the wall, and I could hear, 'Wake up, this is a robbery. We're not here to hurt you.' And in that moment, I just thought, 'Oh my God. This is not a dream.'"

The part one contained the content of kidnapping of couple and demand of ransom by the kidnappers. How the police didn't believe on them when he first call 911 and how he was monitored by intruders that his each moment is capturing in the camera.

If he informed the police, he'll lost his wife Huskins

Like many victims, or many people who have gone through tragedy, you don't get all the answers," Quinn said. "And that can be a sticking point to recovery. So for us, we don't rely on finding those answers, but what we have to do is move forward in the unknown and focus on things that matter the most to us, like our family, our kids, our work. Those are sustainable things. And having the answers of why they targeted us doesn't change what we do as far as moving forward."

You can go through any kind of trauma to where it leaves you devastated and in a place where you just think, 'This is impossible to move forward from. What do I do next?'" Huskins told ABC News of working through the emotional distress she and Quinn suffered. "I think ours is an example of that. There is hope. It might take time and it might be a lot of hard work, but there is hope."

INDIA:MALDIVES REALTIONS

India and the Maldives share ethnic, linguistic, cultural, religious, and commercial links steeped in antiquity and enjoy close, cordial, and multi-dimensional relations. India was among the first to recognize the Maldives after its independence in 1965 and to establish diplomatic relations with the country. India established its mission at the level of the CDA in 1972 and the resident High Commissioner in 1980. The Maldives opened a full-fledged High Commission in New Delhi in November 2004, at that time one of its only four diplomatic missions worldwide. Last year, when the Maldives went through presidential elections, Mohammad Moizu of the People's National Congress came out with the "India Out Campaign" as his prime election campaigning idea and went on to become the President of the island nation. Since then, he has been demanding to expel Indian soldiers in the Maldives, and now PM Modi has responded with a photoshoot at a beach in Lakshdweep, which has resulted in #MaldivesOut outrage in India.

At first, India launched its campaign in the Maldives....

President Moizu says India wants a permanent presence in the Maldives, maybe like a base or an outpost. New Delhi has rejected this allegation, but in the Maldives, it's a lightning rod. Moizu and his party campaigned on this issue; they made India the villain. In that context, his latest announcement of expelling Indian soldiers (who ate just 75 in numbers according to Indian reports) was not surprising.

The silent killer move by PM Modi...

During his PM trip to Lakshdweep on January 2, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the untapped potential of Lakshadweep, describing it as "full of many possibilities." He went snorkling in Lakshdweep and went on to post his experience on social media platform X and present it as an option for Indian tourists visiting the Maldives without mentioning the Maldives anywhere in the story.

Finally, the full story... credits to social media experts

After the move by PM, Indians began exploring Lakshdweep, and sooner it became a trending search on Google. #ExploreIndianIslands started trending, but soon it changed to #BoycottMaldives when three Maldivian ministers offically insulted PM Modi. They used words like clown, terrorist, and puppet of Israel. All three ministers have been suspended. The Maldivian government was quick to act, trying to distance itself from their statements, but it's struggling to manage the fallout. Muhammad Moizu, the president of the Maldives, is under fire from the opposition; they want strong action from him. The suspension of the ministers is not enough. Here in India, a boycott campaign is on. A campaign against the Maldives. It's a tourist destination, but now Indians are canceling their vacation plans. Travel agents are no longer taking bookings. It's a full-blown diplomatic crisis for Mali, and it comes at the worst possible time when their president, Muhammad Moizu, is in China on a much-publicized 5-day visit. This controversy has completely overshadowed his trip. India has launched a formal protest against the three Maldivian ministers, Malsha Shareef, Mariam Shiuna, and Abdullah Mazoom Majid; all three are deputy ministers in the youth ministry. They insulted not just the prime minister of India but also the country. They insulted India. After the controversy, they deleted their posts, and when the Maldivian Foreign Ministry tried to repair the situation, it released a statement saying the minister spoke in their personal capacity and their posts do not reflect the government's position.

Why is "India Out" hurting the Maldives?

Males can't afford to antagonize India. Let's look at some numbers. The India-Maldives trade is worth $500 million. It was just 173 million in 2014, so there is a major improvement. India is the males's third biggest trading partner. In terms of tourism, India ranks number one. More than 200,000 Indians visited the Maldives last year; that's almost 12% of all the tourists. Another factor is proximity. India is the males's closest neighbor. The mainland is around 600 kilometers north of Male. So New Delhi is also the first responder, like in 1988, during the coup, India repelled mercenaries who tried to out the president; in 2004, when the tsunami struck; or in 2014, during the Water Crisis, when a fire broke out at the Malay water and sewage company, so Malay had no drinking water. They sent an SOS to New Delhi, and within 12 hours, Indian planes landed with water. Two Indian ships arrived later. Put together, India delivered some 2.300 tons of water to the Maldives. So, can President Moizu afford to antagonize India? The short answer is no. If Mozu wants Indian troops to leave, that's his call; that's a sovereign decision, but spewing anti-India propaganda is not strategy. It is not foreign policy; it exposes true intentions, and who suffers for it is not Moizu in his presidential palace; only the people of the Maldives will be hurt. Whether it's jobs, investments, or tourism, they need India's participation, and Moizu should realize that. It's one thing to campaign for India; it's quite another to actually do it. He can look at two of his fellow South Asian politicians, Mahinda Rajapaksa of Sri Lanka and KP Sharma Oli of Nepal, both of whom went to China. They also tried to limit their relations with India, but how did it get them out of office and out of favor? President Mozu needs to realize that. The social media outrage has been scary, especially the boycott calls, but I could say that none of that is targeted. It's a message to the leadership of the country—only the leaders, not the people. Indians and Malians have a lot in common, whether it's religion, language, or ethnicity, and we're proud of that. These social media storms may not last, but that shared history will. It's something the leaders of the Maldives need to think about.

Shapes of Truth for Responsibility

What’s right for you? What’s right for me? It varies from person-to-person. The last hearing for the case was going and judgment can prevail at any moment. One of the guards was responsible for the prisoners and was also held responsible for the death of prisoners. The accused lady was sitting in front of the panel of judges who were questioning her for the responsibility that she upholds very proudly. Her job was to guard the prisoners. She pursues her very affectionately. One of the judge questioned her that, “Why didn’t she unlocked the door?” Since she knew that if she didn’t open their locks they all would die as the flames was all over the village and even in the prison. She answered that, “She couldn’t let them escape, as it was her responsibility to not let them. It would have created chaos as it was snowing; bombs and the flame were seen all around the village. The screaming of the villagers can be clearly heard. It was so alarming and fast and if she opened the door then all the prisoners would rush out from there and she can’t let them escape.” 

 Judges reexamined her by telling her that other defendants have made allegations against her that, she was held responsible for that and she had made report. She was trying to convince the judges that it is not true. She was explaining them that she was just a guard and everybody made the report. But every other defendant was against her and making her the culprit for the entire incident. She tried to prove that she was not in charge of the prison but the signatures that she made on the report as in charge proved her wrong. She was explaining to the entire audience that was sitting in the court room who had prepared this conspiracy against her. She was just screaming her truth but nobody is interested in listening her wage arguments. The real culprit who made the false report of the incident was eagerly waiting for the verdict. The misleading information that was given in the report was the number of prisoners that were kept in the prison during that time. She was just performing her duty and had restored the orders that were given to her. She was a responsible woman who had made that decision when everyone was just fleeing from that area. The entire incident was to kill Mr. Saksham who was a prisoner as he could have opened the hidden secrets of the massive fire that happen in the corporate office in the town nearby the village. 

 The people who have died in the prison were prisoners not the victims. There death might be wrong but her responsibility is the truth. After listening to her and on the basis of the proofs that were present, she was sentenced to hang till death. So the justice prevails but the truth died. Everyone leaves the court. And everybody walks together.
