Car Nicobar, Aug. 3: The Workshop cum training programme for the Graduate Trained Teachers of Mathematics and Science subjects began at the Conference hall of the Education Office today.
Inaugurating the workshop, the Chief Guest, Education Officer Shri H. Nathaniel said that this kind of workshop helps the teachers to share their views on the different aspects of the teaching subjects.
In the present scenario the teachers have to update their knowledge to face the students in the classrooms, he said. Emphasizing the need of using Information and Technological tools in the class rooms, he said that through smart classes the teaching can be made very effective and student friendly.
Talking about the present status of the School Education in Car Nicobar, Nathaniel said that the students do not show interest in learning Mathematics and Science, generally. They are afraid of these subjects. The Socio-economic background is another factor which affects the studies of the students, he said. The EO suggested that interest can be created among the students if the teacher presents the subject matter, in a very simplified way, keeping in mind the Educational standard of the child. He called upon the teachers to dedicate themselves for the educational upliftment of the poor children, taking extra remedial measures.
Earlier the Coordinator of the workshop Shri B.D. Singh explained about the various activities to be undertaken in the 5 day long workshop. He said that the task of Mathematics teacher in the class is very challenging, as the subject is not very popular among the students in this region. He asked the teachers to make use of the workshop.
Around 20 teachers of Mathematics and Science from the different schools of Car Nicobar are taking part in the workshop.

Port Blair, Aug. 2: The Deputy Commissioner, South Andaman, Shri. Rupesh Kumar Thakur, Shri. Amit Kumar Pamasi, Assistant Commissioner (Settlement) and revenue officials of the District Administration visited Indira Nagar in Manglutan Village and had a meeting with PRIs and general public of the area today.
During the campaign, some basic issues such as non-regularization of encroached land and non-issue of Record of Right (RoR) to licencees of Indira Nagar De-Reserved Block were brought to the notice of the Deputy Commissioner, South Andaman. It was brought to the notice of the Deputy Commissioner (SA) by the revenue field functionaries that the tenants were in excess occupation of land other than their recorded land, which was the main reason for non-issuance of the Record of Rights to the tenants. The DC has thus directed the field staff to demarcate the excess land and take over the excess possession to which the tenants have also agreed. It was also assured by the DC that after completion of re-survey the ROR would be issued to all the tenants.
After the meeting Deputy Commissioner, South Andaman inspected the village road of Indira Nagar to Manglutan School, which is a katcha road and in a very bad shape. It was brought to the knowledge of DC that construction of road could not be taken up as 450 meters of stretch is recorded in the name of some private persons. In this regard Deputy Commissioner S/A directed Tehsildar, Ferrargunj to hold meeting and sort out the issue.
