NDTV podcast@ndtv.com Sarah Jacob No Neat Solution To NEET Nightmare? The clamour against NEET refuses to die down. The only single-window exam for any medical college is mainly based on CBSE curriculum. However, there is large scale variation in syllabus of CBSE and state boards. Most coaching centres are in cities, rural and socially weaker sections are unable to afford coaching classes. Many minority institutions are unable to fill their seats due to centralised counselling. There have also been instances of question paper leaks. This month, Tamil Nadu registered three NEET-related suicides in a week. A high-level committee led by former High Court judge found that NEET skewed results in favour of English-medium students and that there has been a dip in proportion of rural students post-NEET. We ask aspirants, medical students and doctors about all the issues surrounding NEET and the way ahead. https://voddownload.ndtv.com/mp3/2021-09/19092021_n_wethepeople_2871_66939.mp3 Sun, 19 Sep 2021 23:25:19 +0530 23:43 no Justice AK Rajan,NEET,NEET Exams,National Eligibility cum Entrance Test,poor students,private coaching,Tamil Nadu Students,CBSE curriculum,medical students,English-medium students,We The People NDTV Women In NDA: Real Change? In a watershed moment for the Indian Army, in a landmark decision this week, the Supreme Court has allowed women to sit for the National Defence Academy (NDA) entrance exam. What are the implications of the Supreme Court's order? Is this a big push for gender equity? Will it attract more women to the armed forces? Will women now be able to look forward to a long and ambitious career in the armed forces? https://voddownload.ndtv.com/mp3/2021-09/12092021_n_wethepeople_1861_66851.mp3 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 23:48:04 +0530 26:29 no _no_tag_ Sarah Jacob Jallianwala Bagh: History Gets A Makeover? The renovated Jallianwala Bagh memorial was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week -- the project was carried out by the Archaeological Survey of India and NBCC. However, historians say the new memorial is a distortion of history of the site where British troops killed hundreds of Indians on April 13, 1919. On NDTV, we discuss whether the Jallianwala Bagh makeover is a distortion of history or a renovation. https://voddownload.ndtv.com/mp3/2021-09/05092021_n_primeshowwtp_93476_66962.mp3 Sun, 05 Sep 2021 23:56:42 +0530 25:04 no Jallianwala Bagh,PM Modi,History,Punjab Government,Archaeological Survey of India,Jallianwala Bagh memorial,Jallianwala Bagh renovation,We The People Sarah Jacob Back To School: Rushed Or Long-Overdue? With the devastating second wave of Covid-19 now receding, schools have already reopened in several states, at least for senior classes. Schools in most other states are scheduled to open from September 1. In this episode, we have Dr Naresh Trehan from Medanta-The Medicity and Dr Naveet Wig, chairman of the AIIMS COVID-19 task force, joining us with a panel of students and parents to discuss whether going back to school is rushed or long-overdue. https://voddownload.ndtv.com/mp3/2021-08/29082021_n_primeshowwtpnew_78_66691.mp3 Sun, 29 Aug 2021 23:41:49 +0530 26:23 no Covid Restrictions,Covid-19,Coronavirus,Schools,Students,Teachers,Dr Naresh Trehan,Dr Naveet Wig Sarah Jacob India Unlocks: Time To Go Back To School? Amid a decline in fresh COVID-19 cases across India, several states have started the process of unlocking and relaxing the restrictions imposed. Is it high time we send India's children back to school too? Is it time to prioritise opening up our schools in a planned and safe manner? If we can design protocols to open malls, pools and bars without risking lives, why not schools? On the show tonight, along with students, we discuss whether it is time to learn to reopen schools with precautions in place. https://voddownload.ndtv.com/mp3/2021-08/22082021_n_wethepeople_90442_66546.mp3 Sun, 22 Aug 2021 23:46:39 +0530 22:45 no Covid-19,Coronavirus,Covid Vaccine for kids,Students,Schools,Teachers,COVID-19 cases Sarah Jacob The Future Of Women's Rights In Afghanistan As the Taliban make rapid gains in Afghanistan, women in the country are concerned about their future. As Afghan women on Twitter plead for help, on the show tonight we ask, will the Taliban roll back freedom won by women? And are Afghan women's rights on the verge of a roll back? The Taliban previously ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 and imposed strict rules on women during that period. Along with voices from Afghanistan on the show, we are joined by Mariam Wardak from HER Afghanistan, Heather Barr from Human Rights Watch, Nishtha Satyam representing UN Women India, Lisa Curtis from the Centre for a New American Security and Aishe Ghosh from JNU's Students' Union. https://voddownload.ndtv.com/mp3/2021-08/15082021_n_wethepeople_88730_66244.mp3 Sun, 15 Aug 2021 23:41:34 +0530 22:44 no Afghanistan war,Taliban in Afghanistan,Afghan Forces vs Taliban,We The People,Women's Rights,Women's Rights In Afghanistan,Women in afghan NDTV Beating Patriarchy And Winning Medals One Sport At A Time For the second straight Games, women athletes continue winning medals for India as witnessed at the Tokyo Olympics.

The formula rewarded consistency, students who performed well in classes 10 and 11 stood to benefit, with over 1,50,000 students scoring above 90 per cent.

A deadly and virulent second wave tore through the country in April-May bringing the health infrastructure to its knees with massive shortages of key medicines, hospital beds and oxygen supplies. Now, after months of anxiety and being cooped up at home as Covid raged outside, Indians are wasting no time in heading outdoors. Everyone wants fresh air to recharge one's batteries. It's only human but are we throwing caution to the winds, and inviting a third wave to hit India hard? Experts warn that this violation of Covid rules can lead to grave results. https://voddownload.ndtv.com/mp3/2021-07/11072021_n_wethepeople_merge_79990_69143.mp3 Sun, 11 Jul 2021 23:30:10 +0530 28:50 no Crowds at Hill Stations,Coronavirus,Covid-19,Covid restrictions,Covid Infections
