As part of its campaign to bring English literacy to municipal schools, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation plans to introduce a customised English syllabus in class 2.
The civic body had introduced teaching of the English alphabet and numbers in class 1 last year. Now the civic body is working to formulate English syllabus for the same batch, which will be in class 2 by June 2010.
At present, AMC officials with the help of NGOs, are doing a survey of prominent private schools in the city to observe what is taught in English classes.
“After gathering information about the syllabus, teaching methods and level of understanding of class 2 students in these schools, the experts will decide how the same can be adapted for municipal school students. Education experts will prepare a new English syllabus for class 2 students including booklets with colourful illustrations,” AMC School Board Chairman Manubhai Raval said.
AMC sources said the 12 English-medium schools opened by the civic body have received very good response from parents and students. More such schools may be opened in the future, depending on the requirement.

सोच-समझ कर शेयर मार्केट में निवेश करें योगेश अवस्थी  देश की तेज गति से बढ़ती अर्थव्यवस्था के चलते भारतीय शेयर मार्केट ने हाल ही में दुनिया के शीर्ष शेयर बाजारों- अमेरिका , चीन , जापान के बाद अपना चौथा स्थान बना लिया है। पिछले कुछ सालों से घरेलू निवेशकों का रुझान भारतीय शेयर मार्केट की तरफ तेजी से बढ़ा है। कम समय में अधिक रिटर्न पाने की लालसा में सामान्य निवेशक फाइनेंस इन्फ्लुएंसर तथा एक्सपर्ट की सलाह पर किसी भी कंपनी में अपनी गाढ़ी मेहनत की कमाई को बिना जोखिम का आकलन किए लगा देते हैं , जो उनके लिए नुकसान का सौदा साबित हो रहा है। यद्यपि भारतीय प्रतिभूति और विनिमय बोर्ड (#सेबी) ने भी निवेशकों को फाइनेंस इन्फ्लुएंसर्स तथा अन्य स्रोतों से मिली सलाह मानने से पहले रिसर्च करने की हिदायत बार-बार दे रहा है , किंतु अधिकांश निवेशक समय एवं वित्तीय ज्ञान की कमी के कारण बिजनेस चैनल तथा सोशल मीडिया पर दी जा रही सलाह पर निवेश कर रहे हैं। पिछले कुछ सालों में देश में डीमैट अकाउंट , जो शेयर मार्केट में निवेश के लिए जरूरी अकाउंट है , की संख्या में जबरदस्त वृद्धि हुई है। प्रति माह लगभग 21 लाख नए...
