The Abysmal Glaring yet Ignored Gap
As bonafied tax paying citizens of India and diaspora guest workers  originating from India we have noticed certain lacunae in Indian education system leading to a dagnerous and exponentially spiralling away trend of compromising w.r.t safety standards and awareness in living which is unequivocally non-negotiable. 
it is pathetic to note that Proactive #safety culture missing right from education is the root cause leading to laxity and a  casual reactive (ex-gratia) approach at policy, process, practice, and judicial redressal levels. 

 

Lack of Safety culture inculcation when young in education is identified as the single root cause for many a subsequent  policy, priority and systemic gaps, loopholes leading to collossal cumulative losses. In order to get the course correction and improvement of quality of lives on a war footing within the lifetime of the middle aged 40-50 petitioners before they end naturally.  

Thus we are trying to address this by this proposal to voluntarily support

The Appeal to Govt. of India and Aacademic Institutions. 

"Please Revoke all govt. certificates,  academic certificates, driving licenses, aadhaar, till we undergo minimal safety, hygiene training, testing and certification by all age groups of Citizens with Indian passports."  

It is strongly recommended and demanded by common citizens of india in the collective interest of residents and tourist to India that the: 

Central Board of Secondary Education National Council of Educational Research and Training ( NCERT ) MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, equivalent state govt. bodies, RTOs,  University Grants Commission (UGC) should stop issuing new certficates and suspend/revoke previously given certificates/revoking/revalidating 10th, 12th, degree  #ASAP without the following recorded trainings, recorded testing and certifications. Ministry of External Affairs, India should stop giving ECNR clearance on passports before leaving india mandatory verified, recorded, tested, and certified:  

1. mock-gutka spit-cleaning & public toilette cleaning in in kinder garden, primary schools (Japanese model emulation worthy)
2. swimming in middle school 
3. fire-fighting and survivial fire safetly escape in high school ncc, on par with fire brigade 
4. first aid saving CPR (optional).

Once video proofs and evidence of training, performance of swimming fire safety are submitted the certifcate will be reinstated. till then all previous certifications are deemed to be revalidated and subject to deprecation within stipulated period depending on backlog dynamic queuing. Aged, permanently disabled, physically challenged  are exempt up to some extent for a grace period."

 

 

 

 

Private Universities and education societies to voluntarily recommend or mandate. 

"No Safety Training(swimming and basic fire fighting, evacuations) no Hall ticket" in case of current and future students. 

Poor or blocked emergency exits in fire accidents 

root cause is not fire but poor evacuation exits, 90% cases for the past 75 years. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Age Old Infra originally planned for less population 40 cr. Not Upgraded Capacity planning narrow exits not proportionate to increased crowd Stampede Death tolls by Design(archaic): poor evacuation. Nasty inadequate capacity planning.

NATIONAL TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION for  #nationalroadsafetymovement

Kneejerk permanent bannings are not the answer: 
boat siks, ban baotiing,(papi kondalu) 
Sleeper bus burns ban them immediately

Safety culture should inculcate spirit to fight/escape with raw elements of fire, and water as they give some time to resist and win(unlike fatal air crashes) ... without panicking.   facing accident once is, not learning from them and passing the buck is collossal collective criminal negligence. unpardonable offensee in various shades.

inaction and silence  of the learned is more damaging than one one time offender. 

if  the seed of KG to PG education is infused with mandatory safety trainings,  then a whole generation of students will emerge who are sensitive to safety in their roles be it policy makers, judiciary, enforcers, business owners, operators and consumers... and previous batches in retrospect.

Hence,  we as persons of Indian orgin - residents or guest workers abroad support this movement and pledge to undergo and encourage Safety culture in the collective interest of India one-fifth of mankind and traveling worldwide.
