Re: [Assam] From ToI/ How to Eradicate Corruption!
You are right Rajen. And that is what leaves me so befuddled. Imagine the power of the children of India to revolt against the culture in which they grow up. Who said corruption fighting ain't rocket science ? It is far worse. c At 1:21 PM -0600 11/16/07, barua25 wrote: Chandan It makes sense.

Shall we laugh or shall we cry? cm Kalam asks children to fight corruption at home 16 Nov 2007, 2127 hrs IST,PTI KANPUR: Former President APJ Abdul Kalam on Saturday asked children to begin their fight against corruption at home by inspiring their guardians to put an end to the menace so that a developed, prosperous and corruption-free India emerges by the year 2020. If children inspire their parents to weed out corruption, it will be automatically eliminated from the country paving the way for a developed and corruption-free India by the year 2020, Kalam said addressing children at a function. He also asked children to take the pledge to eliminate corruption and build a country where everything was perfectly transparent.

The former President was in Kanpur to attend the silver jubilee function of Sir Padmapat Singhania Education Centre. When he asked the children present at the function how many of them wanted to become 'netas' (politicians) no hands were raised. However, when he asked them how many of them wanted to visit the Mars all of them raised their hands instantaneously. Children also jostled with each other breaking the security cordon several times to have Kalam's autograph.

some people say teaching school kids isn't rocket science -- to which Harvard education professor Richard Elmore says - it is tougher than rocket science.
