CHENNAI CORPORATION AIMING HIGH

The Chennai corporation is taking necessary steps to improve the quality of education provided in government schools. The Local Administration has planned to distribute 844 computers to all the corporation schools in chennai. As a part of a Rs. 2.3 Crore project to improve the standards of the education in the city, Mayor M. Subramanian has planned this programme. The government will provide adequate training to the staffs on the basics of computers and how to use them. The teachers in turn are expected to educate the students about the computers.
The Mayor has urged the teachers to use their newly acquired skills to enhance the learning experience of the students. In addition to this, a sum of Rs. 4.42 lakhs would be distributed among the teachers who had helped the students to score well in the 2008 public examinations. The other cities should take this as a good example and take necessary steps to improve the standards of education.

The Big Four

The Big Four refers to Indian team's senior cricketers Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble. As the Australian tour of India began , all the eyes are wide open to see the big four perform well. Is it really happening? From the stats, only Ganguly has played well in the recent test series. Fitness has always been a problem for Anil Kumble and Sachin Tendulkar. The consistency of the four has declined over the period. Inspite of Australia scoring 430 in the 1st innings of bangalore test, the batsmen havn't performed to the full potential. Dravid and Ganguly have scored some runs but they havn't done their duty correctly. Anil Kumble bowling has lost its effectiveness and is fading day by day. Its time for the these people to retire from international cricket and pave way for the youngsters to handle the team. If they don't do it soon, they might have to face more criticism and humiliation.
