NASA: PLAN OF PERMANENT SETTLEMENT ON MARS. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), the US space agency released a detailed outline of its plan to send manned mission to Mars. In a report titled “NASA’s Journey to Mars Pioneering Next Steps in Space Exploration”, the agency said it is closer to sending manned mission to mars for establishing permanent settlement on creating deep-space habitation facilities there by 2030s. The plan under which, humans will be living and working on Mars in colonies entirely independent of earth by the 2030s, will act as stepping stones to Mars. Three stages of Journey to Mars NASA explains that the journey to Mars will cross three thresholds, each with increasing challenges as humans move farther from earth and closer to Mars. These steps are- 1) Earth Reliant exploration The Earth Reliant exploration is focused on research aboard the international Space Station. For that NASA is testing technologies and advancing human health and performance research that will enable deep space, log duration missions. 2) Proving Ground In the Proving Ground, NASA will learn to conduct complex operation in a deep space environment that allows crews to return to earth in a matter of days. For that, NASA will advance and validate capabilities required for humans to live and work of distances much further away from our home planet, such as at Mars. 3) Earth Independent activities The earth independent activities build on what NASA has experienced on the space station and in deep space to enable human mission to the mars vicinity, possibly to low-mars orbit or one of the Martian moons, and eventually the Martian surface. The settlement further said that the further Mars mission will represent a collaborative effort between NASA and its partners to mark a global achievement in a transition in humanity’s expansion to Mars to seek the potential for sustainable life beyond earth. Engineers and scientists around the country are working hard to develop the technologies astronauts will use to one day live and work on Mars, and safely return home from the next giant leap for humanity. NASA also is a leader in a Global Exploration Roadmap, working with international partners and the U.S. commercial space industry on a coordinated expansion of human presence into the solar system, with human missions to the surface of Mars as the driving goal. --Sambhrant Srivastava (Assistant Professor) (Mechanical Engineering Department) (JEMTEC Greater Noida)

SANCTION FOR PROSECUTION

By
Under criminal laws like Criminal Procedure Code and Prevention of Corruption Act, sanctions for prosecution provide protection to government officials from being prosecuted unless permission from concerned government authorities are obtained to run a trial. Various arguments are advanced to support this law like frivolous and vexatious cases may be prevented, public officials are not harassed and efficacy of administrative machinery is not tampered with. Generally, huge time is wasted in granting the sanctions against public officials due to which evidences against those officials can easily be tampered with or are lost. Most of the time it has also been seen that government generally hesitates in granting sanctions to prosecute just because to save the face of government. Government is unwilling to grant sanction for another reason also as sometimes scams are committed in connivance with several government officials and ministers also and if sanction to prosecute is granted, n...

Education is not only a process of cognitive development. It is a process of overall development of the child. The whole teaching learning process consist with three important components i.e student, teacher and curriculum. In the process of curriculum construction, evaluation and feedbacks are an important aspect to redesign the curriculum. Evaluation cannot be made on the basis of academic achievement of the students. Teacher should play an important role in the construction of curriculum as well as transaction of curriculum. Thus there is a need that teacher should take initiative to evaluate the whole education system as a Critical pedagogue.
