Coal Thieves

These are pictures of a local man unloading coal (illegally) from a train that halted for a few minutes. Dhurwa More, this the Railway Crossing area that has quite a bit of population. 



The moment trains stop (for any reason), local people climb these trains and throw down coal boulders. As long as they find the train stationary they continue with their unloading. When they come in to motion then hurry scurry goes on to get a last piece or two and risk their lives getting off.

La Veda Academy Vs McCluskieganj Inter College


La Veda Inter College Vs McCluskieganj Inter College

In an earlier post you might have read that a new Inter College known as La Veda Inter College was opened (now its known as La Veda Academy) and it had  a lot to promise in terms of education to the local students that passed out from Hindi medium schools here.

Well, this institution now has roughly 150 – 200 students including boys and girls.

I would often stand at my boundary wall that lies between La Veda and my house, watching activities take place in the playground of the same and foreseeing a good future for both, students and institution.

I found that the students were well behaved and dressed neatly. Teachers were dedicated to their jobs. I would watch or hear classes go on, be it physical exercises, parade, singing, poetry or any subject that would be taught on the playground while they enjoyed the sunshine during the end of winter and would feel kind of proud for some reason.

Unfortunately due to internal problems between staff and management, a no. of teaching members have suddenly quit their jobs and have joined another Inter College called McCluskieganj Inter College. This new college has started just next-door to La Veda (not precisely the next door) and was inaugurated on Friday 25th May 2012.

The being of McCluskieganj Inter College relates a lot.

I happened to meet a teacher who jumped from La Veda to McCluskieganj Inter College. He said his name is Manoj Kumar and he has come here from Ranchi. Many of the facts mentioned herein are based on what he said to me.

Finally, will both the colleges survive together? If yes then its good in some way or the other but if no and La Veda closes then it will is be sad to see an institution get packed up due to any kind of misunderstanding or politics between staff and management..

Lets see what happens.
