KVS Extended Last Date for Teacher Recruitment 2013
Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan has extended last date for teacher recruitment July 2013 from 28th August 2013 to 18th September 2013. This change was made keeping in view the result declaration date for CTET July 2013. The CTET result is scheduled to be declared on 3rd September 2013.
The extension is a result of continuous efforts made by many candidates specially Ms. Anita Mahajan was leading this campaign. She sent the following letter to many officers in KVS and CBSE. With due regards itis stated that last date of depositing fee for KVS TGT and PRT Exam is28.08.2013. Passing of CTET (conducted by CBSE) is must for a candidate to apply in this exam. CBSE has conducted CTET test on 28 July 2013 and will declare CTET result on 03.09.2013. Almost 10 lakh candidates have appeared in CTET exam. KVS exam for TGT and PRT is being conducted this year after a gap of 02 years. All the candidates have great hopes from KVS exam but if they are not allowed to sit in this exam only due to non-declaration of CTET result, it willbe a great injustice to them. It will demoralize them and will bring them only frustration.
There is a gap of only few days between the last date of deposition of fee for appearing in TGT and PRTKVS exam(i.e. 28.08.2013) and the date of declaration of CTET result (i.e03.09.2013). So it is requested to give extension in last date of depositing fee for TGT and PRT KVS Exam by 10 days so that all aspirants can appear inprestigious KVS exam or CBSE should declare CTET July 2013 result before 28th August. This will also improve the quality of candidates selected for TGT and PRT post in KVS.
Both KVS and CBSE should take care of the future of lakhs of candidates which is at stake. Both should coordinate with each other for the sake of justice to NATION, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS.
IT IS HIGHLY HOPED THAT HON’BLE HRD MINISTER, HRD OFFICERS, KVS OFFICERS AND CBSE OFFICERS WILL UNDERSTAND THE SENSITIVITY OF THIS ISSUE AND DO THE NEEDFUL.
No sanction needed to probe top babus in court-monitored investigation: CBI
In a forceful counter to the Centre's stand that top bureaucrats cannot be probed without its prior sanction, theCBI on Tuesday reiterated in the Supreme Court that in court-monitored investigations, the agency must be free to probe everyone without having to take any statutory sanction.
Just two days before the scheduled hearing in the 'Coalgate' case before a three-judge bench, the agency said, "There is no requirement of sanction for prosecution in cases where the court has either directed investigation or is monitoring investigation of case."
Section 6A of the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act provides that no officer of the rank of joint secretary and above can be investigated in a case without prior sanction from the government and the Centre had strongly defended it saying it was meant to protect bureaucrats from harassment.
The court had repeatedly asked, during the hearing on coal scam, about relevance of 'prior sanction' in court-monitored investigations.
In its affidavit settled by senior advocate Amarendra Saran, the agency said in court-monitored investigations, the court acted as guardian of the rights of the citizens and there was no room for bureaucrats under the scanner to fear harassment if they had taken honest decisions.
"Therefore, the objectives of Section 6A of DSPE Act are fully achieved when a case is monitored by the court, more specifically constitutional courts of the country," it said.
If one understood that prior sanction from the Centre was needed even in court-monitored investigations, "it would amount to suspension of the power of the constitutional courts to monitor investigation", the CBI said.
It would also be discriminatory since it could mean that the court had power to monitor investigations into cases only against officers who were below the rank of joint secretary, the agency said and feared that such an interpretation would be contrary to the legal principle that "no person is above the law".
"It is therefore necessary to read down the provisions of Section 6A of DSPE Act to mean that prior sanction under Section 6A is not necessary in cases where investigation is monitored by a constitutional court," the CBI said.
The agency also reiterated its demand, in the light of the court's attempt to insulate it from political interference and make it an independent investigation unit, seeking more powers for the CBI director.
What appeared to rile the CBI director was the Centre's refusal to grant him 'ex-officio powers of secretary to the government of India'. "It may be mentioned that already three police officers - secretary, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), secretary (internal security) in ministry of home affairs and secretary, security - are vested with powers of secretary to the GoI," the CBI said.
"Chairman of railway board and other members of railway board are also vested with the powers of secretary tothe GoI," the CBI said and demanded greater financial powers to the CBI director.
While seeking a separate budget for itself, the CBI suggested that its director be independent of the ministry of department and personnel as far as investigations were concerned while remaining accountable to the minister concerned for administrative and financial matters.

SUB: Representation from Government Servant on service matters through VIPs and other important dignitaries/Offices- reg.
Sir/Madam,
Of late the Govt. of India has observed that there is an increasing tendency on the part of employees and officers at different levels to by-pass the prescribed channels of representation and write directly to the high functionaries totally ignoring the prescribed channels. Apart from individual representations, the Service Unions have also developed a tendency to write to the Ministers and Prime Minister on individual grievance. Some of these representations also often forwarded through Members of Parliament. It is clear violation of Rule 20 of the CCS (Conduct) Rule, 1964.
The Govt. of India has viewed the matter seriously and has decided to initiate disciplinary action against those who violate the channel of submission of representations by the Government servants. A copy of Govt. of India, DoPT Office Memorandum No. 11013/08/2013-Estt (A)-III dated 06.06.2013 is enclosed with the instructions that the instructions contained therein may be followed in KVS strictly.
This may be circulated among all Kendriya Vidyalayas functioning under your administrative jurisdiction including all employees of your offices. Acknowledgement of the circular by each of the employee working under your jurisdiction be obtained and kept in record in your office. Further the compliance of these instructions be reported to KVS (Hqrs) within a period of 30 days from the receipt of this letter without fail.
Hindi version will follow.
Yours faithfully,

Your Cell Phone can give you Cancer
Mobile is an inseparable part of our life. We are completely dependent on our mobile phones and everyone has it, even school children.
We are pretty sure that most of us are Nomophobiacs at least till some extent. You may have read reports that this tiny, super functional gadget can be life threatening, but is it the truth? There are reports that radiation can even turn your brain into an omelette. We did a little research and got you some factual answers.
Radiation from your mobile?
Yes! Radiation is present from mobile phone in the form of electromagnetic waves. Through a particular radio frequency on these electromagnetic waves, you are able to make and receive calls. The radiation emission is present in small amounts from your mobile as these emissions are of short range waves.
Radiation absorption
Small amount of radio waves emitted from your mobile is absorbed by the body. According to Wikipedia - the maximum power output from a mobile phone is regulated by the mobile phone standard. In most systems the mobile and the base station check reception quality, signal strength and the power level. It is increased or decreased automatically within a certain span to accommodate different situations - when you are inside or outside the building or vehicle.
The rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body is measured by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). SAR data for specific mobile phones, along with other useful information, can be found directly on manufacturers' websites.
Effects by mobile radiation
The effects can be of two types - thermal and non-thermal.
Thermal effects
One of the most common effects by electromagnetic waves is dielectric heating. When a person uses a cell phone, most of the heating effect will occur at the surface of the head.
This heating can increase your head temperature by a fraction of a degree. However this heat is less than the heat obtained by sunlight. The blood circulation isn't affected much, as the brain's blood circulation is capable enough to deal with excess heat, but the cornea of the eyes is not accustomed to a lot of heat.
Non-thermal effects
The communications procedure used by mobile phones often result in low-frequency pulse from the carrier signal.
"Non-thermal effects" could be reinterpreted as a normal cellular response to an increase in temperature. This heat can activate several messenger system, gene expression and production of heat shock protein in order to defend the cell against stress caused by heat.
According to a study conducted by The Journal of the American Medical Association - exposure to radio frequency signal waves within parts of the brain closest to the cell phone antenna resulted in increased levels of glucose metabolism.
In non-thermal effects, following problems can be seen.
- Blood-brain barrier effects
- Cancer
- Cognitive effects
- Electromagnetic hypersensitivity like tingling sensation in the skin of the head, headache,dizziness, loss of mental attention etc.
- Sleep disorders
- Behavioural effects
Reduce the effect of phone radiation
In order to lower the effects of mobile phone radiation follow these simple steps:
Keep some distance
Behind every phone packaging, in fine prints most of the mobile brands recommend to keep your cell at least 10millimeters away from your body. Learn to maintain some distance with your tiny buddy. It may sound difficult but it is not impossible.
Weak signal is bad
Cell phones release more radio frequency radiation when the signal is low. That means, if your signal is low avoid using your cell phone to prevent unnecessary harm.
Choose hands-free headsets
Always choose hands-free headsets, as it will help to reduce the radiation emissions to the brain.
Switch sides
Change hands (and ears) frequently while talking on your cell phone to limit the amount of exposure to one side of your head.
Use speakers to dial numbers
The radiofrequency radiation is strongest when your phone is attempting to place a call, so hold it away from your head until you hear someone pick up.
