CBSE has launched a new grading system for the class 10th students. No, this is not the latest news. Even the trend of grading has started from this very year (2010). As everybody knows that this year all students have been awarded grades instead of marks and the practice of declaring compartment/Fail has been discontinued. Previously, there used to be two categories under which the results were issued, it was either pass or fail, but now these two categories has been changed into Eligible for qualifying Certificate (QUAL) and Eligible for improvement of performance (EIPO). This system of grading is said to have been launched to relieve the students from the tension of the cut- throat competition. Now the big question is, is it really going to help the students in their future endeavors?
Different kinds of grades are made, signifying different level of marks. For eg: A1 ranges for the marks between 91-100, A2 from 81-90, B1 from 71-80, B2 from 61-70 and so on. If Rohit and Kartik both gets A1 in Maths, how to differentiate between their marks, because kartik may have got 99 and rohit may have got 93. This is the lacuna of the grading system and students will have to bear its consequences.
In Exams like IIT-JEE, AIPMT, AIEEE and the like, even 0.01 percent marks are so important to decide your fate. How will the students cope up with this competition if they don't realize the pressure of being in a competition. No one will be failed, this is such a jolly situation where students will never realize the significance of hard work and the excruciating disappointment of failure.
When this fresh batch will go out for higher education and admissions in the prestigious colleges of the country, they will have to run helter and scalter to prove their merit. It is really going to be tough for the batches who are going to face the evaluation of their intelligence and hard work under grading system. It is extremely disappointing that the base of competition in academics has lost its significance.
Some students are really happy and some are sad and disappointed about this new grading system of CBSE. Will it really turn out to be beneficial for students or will it ruin the sentiment of competition between the students (which they will have to face when they go out of the school) is a spectacle to watch.
If we see the positive side of the grading system, the average students will be benefited, getting more opportunities in higher studies. But only future will give a vision as to how things roll on. We can just hope for the best and pray for the betterment of our students.

Who is responsible: Naxals or the Govt.??
Dantewada was the biggest massacre ever in the history of India. India has faced many such security threats in the past, but now what the country is struggling with is the internal seurity of the country. Because of the internal conflicts India is failing miserably in the International arena. Now when the whole country is talking about internal conflicts, one can't avoid the greatest internal threat to the national security of the country called 'NAXALISM'.
Naxalism originating from west bengal has spread its wings into less developed areas of the rural central and eastern India. such as Chattisgarh and Andhra pradesh. They are specially concentrated in a area specially named as 'Red Corridor, which covers almost 92,000 sq. km, including approximately 220 districts in 20 states.
The problem of naxalism is becoming monstrous day by day.Now the basic question is who are these naxals and what do they want? naxals are a group of rebel who resent deep injustice meted out to the poor and want fair justice and equal opportunities of development. Tribals who faced the brunt of exploitation were now encouraged by the political parties to seek the path of violence to get justice.
Apart from West Bengal, political parties in jharkhand also facilitated the entry of maoists into the state. naxalism has became a blemish on the face of Jharkhand were 22 out of 24 districts have been declared to be naxal affected.
Naxal movement which started with a reason now seems to loose its purpose in the mist of political corridors. Tribals instead of getting justice are now trapped between the naxals and the government.In last two decades thousands of people have been killed in the maoist attacks.the fresh attack on dantewada killing 80 security personnel on April,10 and 40 innocent villagers in the bus attack on May,17 is very brutal example of the destruction and threat, the country is facing.
Will only the reaction given by the political parties solve this problem? Can operation 'Green Hunt' make our country Naxal free? Who will give the answers to these questions. What are the Naxals trying to prove? Aren't they fighting more for getting political power and recognition then to achieve their purpose of development. They are just adding to those people's woes who used to regard them as their friend and well wisher.
India, as a nation can never progress if it is unable to sought out its internal conflicts.Its a high time Government finds a answer to this problem. The government is just waiting for the appropriate political equation to solve this problem.This same political equation is meant everything for their political position that's above God or Motherland to them.
