Devolution of powers and infrastructure spending should be priorities for George Osborne when he makes his Autumn Statement, the North East Chamber of Commerce has said.
The business membership organisation is also calling on the Chancellor to focus on skills and make apprenticeships more attractive to businesses ahead of the announcement on December 3.
Chief executive James Ramsbotham is calling for swift devolution of powers to the region, more flexible tax and spend decisions that focus not only on London, as well as the investment in infrastructure that would unlock growth in the private sector.
He said: "It is crucial that the Chancellor understands North East weaknesses as much as its strengths when he is preparing the economic blueprint that will carry us forward to next year's general election.
"It must acknowledge that due to the North East's leadership in export, expertise in vital industry sectors, and capacity for further development, this region is an essential component of future national growth. Far from being a problem for the UK to solve, the North East is a huge asset, which must be allowed to flourish.
Infrastructure spending is also important to the region, says the NECC, with many hopeful that the Chancellor will back upgrades to the A1 following a feasibility study on the main road through the region to Scotland.
The NECC has also called for a "step-change" in skills so the region has a "work ready" supply of people to fill positions.
Pro-growth policies that are specific to the region could also play a crucial role, said Mr Ramsbotham, adding: "The North East is coming back stronger than ever and it is our businesses that are driving forward our growth. We say it every year, but more must be done to help them deliver more.
"Our submission calls for a suite of measures to build on North East strengths, stimulate further employment and attract investment. The region's continued excellent performance in opening up overseas markets contributes enormously to UK Plc, but by playing to strengths in this field and manufacturing and utilising regional capacity for further business development, the North East could be contributing so much more.
Funding for apprenticeships between the 16 to 18, 19 to 24 and adult age brackets should also be made available, Mr Ramsbotham said, to make apprenticeships more attractive to employers and help address youth unemployment.

Virgin Australia to fly Newcastle to Auckland direct
Kate Webster July 19, 2018 July 21, 2018 PLANES, TRAINS & CARS, Travel News
Virgin Australia announced that for the first time in 16 years, travellers will be able to fly directly between Newcastle and Auckland, opening up a range of travel and tourism opportunities.
The new flights will make Virgin Australia the first airline to provide an international service from the upgraded Newcastle Airport terminal.
Virgin Australia will operate three return services per week during the peak holiday period from 22 November 2018 to 17 February 2019, creating a gateway to the rest of New Zealand as well as the Greater Hunter Region.
Mr McCormack said Newcastle Airport is a major gateway into New South Wales and now plays an important role in global connectivity by facilitating travel and tourism opportunities between Australia and New Zealand.
"Importantly, these flights will help drive regional tourism growth and dispersal of visitors to Australia's most popular tourism destinations," Mr McCormack said.
"New Zealand and Australia remain strong reciprocal tourism markets, with some 2.845 million travellers* moving between the two destinations each year.
"Virgin Australia will be providing 13,000 additional seats across the busy holiday season," Mr McCormack added.
Virgin Australia General Manager, Network, Revenue and Alliances, Russell Shaw, said, "Virgin Australia is proud to provide the regional New South Wales community with increased travel choices and convenience, and a much more seamless international travel experience.
"With this direct flight, local residents will arrive in Auckland within three hours, ensuring they have more time to enjoy the breath-taking sights and incredible experiences New Zealand is famous for.
"The Greater Hunter Region will also benefit from increased tourism opportunities, with New Zealanders now able to travel direct to Newcastle and explore the region and all it has to offer including wineries, restaurants and the pristine beaches," Mr Shaw said.

"Language Redirect" – Forum Thread – Discuss – Symphony.
This is an open discussion with 114 replies, filed under Extensions.
A new extension, "Language Redirect" is now available for download. Comments and feedback can be left here but if you discover any issues, please post it on the issue tracker.
For an automatic global language menu (modify only the language part of the URL) you can use something like this.
Thank you for your extension, it seems very interesting for the website I would like to developp (in both french and english). Unfortunately, I'm just new with Symphony and I don't understand how to install the extension (it works with other extension but not with this one). I follow what is said in the manual but the extension isn't showing up in the admin part under "system > extensions". Is it normal ? How can I do to install your extension. Thank you in advance !
when an extension doesn't show up in the list of extensions it's usually either a problem with access rights or with wrongly named extension folders. I changed the name of the extension folder/github project sometime ago and it should be language_redirect. This would be my first guess.
And thanks for trying out the extension. Feedback appreciated.
Very good ! It works fine for displaying the menu and the right url of the pages. But I wonder how to add content in both english and french on the admin part. Have you got any ideas ?
You can change the language for each author under the Authors menu option.
If you wanted two languages to be input into a sections entries, you'll need to use two fields in your section.
You can add the Language Field or a Select Box field with static or dynamic options to sections with content in different languages and filter your entries using the $url-language and/or $url-region parameters. This way you have each entry in a separate language.
Or you could add copies of individual fields to your sections and do the filtering in the XSLT. An example would be the name or caption field of an image section.
For static contents like page names or interface strings i usually create a dictionary section or dynamic datasource and use a template in a translation utility to translate those strings. I can post some code snippets tomorrow.
My answer would be an elaboration of designermonkey's second interpretation.
Would someone be willing to demo the .htaccess method to pass $url-language to everypage?
just before the frontend rewrite ruleset. This way you have access to the $url-language and $url-region parameters on pages with URIs that start with something like /en/ or /en-gb/ or /de-de/.
Is there a way to dynamically input the supported languages from the fields in a section?
No, this is out of the scope of the extension.
In general, the support for multi language content requires the management of the content in the backend (e.g. with a language field) and the the knowledge which language version to display. This extension is made for the latter and requires a developer to add the supported languages by hand in the preferences.
Wouldn't it be possible to have the extension listen to a datasource that outputs the available languages based on the language fields? Or on the DS-param?
I only have one entry per langauge so to me that makes sense, maybe its different in other setups?
The extension adds a set of rewrite rules with the supported languages in the .htaccessfile when you save the preferences. The rewrite rules could be generalized to support an unlimited number of languages. But then you have to be careful with choosing your page handles. Have to think about it.
In fact safari wrongfully only send the first language accept header, being often en-us.
from the match pattern. However, it would be better if this function was replicated in your extension.
The rewrite rules could be generalized to support an unlimited number of languages. But then you have to be careful with choosing your page handles. Have to think about it.
Finishing this off with such rules, and joining advising people to create a selection field from a static (or dynamic from iana) list of 2 letter xml language codes (no locale) would make this a killer extension.
I am pulling in the language codes via their event xml made into an xml page that feeds a xml-selectbox. So now in my entries you just select from the available languages in a dropdownlist. The full language names are missing ofcourse, but I could match them up with the available items, from an xml file with languages and their codes.
then again I could just use that list for a selectbox, and still feel it would be better the extension then takes its languages from the entries. or rather the rewrites don't need languages.
Thanks for your help works well looks like it will do the trick.
Hopefully this is easy I hust have a fear of .htaccess files.


CINNAMON SUGAR BREAD is like eating a cinnamon & sugar cake donut but better. Easy & delicious this bread is ready to devour in an hour.
This Cinnamon Sugar Bread is simple, sweet, and super easy! It's perfect for a cold wintery morning with breakfast. I love giving this as a gift to friends and family during the holiday season. Simple and delicious, what's not to love?
Alright friends, I am so excited with how this recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Bread turned out. It tastes exactly what exactly what I was hoping for. And I just want to say thank you so much to Costco for inspiring this Cinnamon Sugar Bread. I always eat their samples there and while tempted to put the 3-pack of this deliciousness I really don't need 3 loaves of this bread around as I will be tempted to eat it all. And like, I have no self control.
So our weekends are pretty hectic around our house, with all of the kids activities and really the only 2 things that are a guaranteed for every weekend are date night with the hubs and a Costco run. Now while you would think that I would make this grocery run on my own, nope the hubby is always down for going and not because he wants to spend more quality time with me, it's all about the samples.
He loves the samples from the cheese ot the meats, oh and the bread. He loves hitting up the stations like he is meeting some celebrity. I try to disown him at this time, as I get completely embarrassed when he hits up the cheese stations about 13 times in a row to where the sweet old ladies are usually giving him the furrowed eyebrow.
The holiday season is the worst, I typically will have my shopping done and am in the checkout line when he is hitting up the cheese or meat station one last time. I love the samples too but I lean towards carbs. I am all about the bread.
This Cinnamon Sugar bread is one of my favorite things to grab while shopping and this past weekend I was in luck and they had it out for sample. The kids and I grabbed our samples and I asked the hubs to still grab one for himself, so that I could eat it. He did. You see I am not one to go back multiple times, I will just buy it if I like it.
While I wanted to buy the loaf of Cinnamon Sugar Bread it came with 3 loaves and right now the fact that we are reducing the amount of sugar and carbs (sugar) in our diets, having 3 loaves around would not be good.
Sunday morning I always make a nice breakfast, usually crepes but those are very time consuming. This Sunday we had to head out of town for a family party and so I needed something I could just whip up and bake. I decided to go with a loaf, a single loaf of Cinnamon Sugar Bread. Then the hubs made up some scrambled eggs. It was a perfect pairing for a morning we didn't have much time.
I love easy recipes, that are just as delicious and that are inspired by some of our favorite eats. This Cinnamon Sugar Bread is something that you can whip up in 10-minutes and then let the oven do the rest of the work.
How do you make easy cinnamon bread?
In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and remaining 1 cup sugar.
Remove loaf from pan onto a large plate.
The loose cinnamon and sugar will come off onto the plate.
Carefully press all the sides of the bread onto the cinnamon and sugar that comes off onto the plate.
What do you eat with Cinnamon Sugar Bread?
You can eat it with pretty much anything!
It's great for breakfast with fruit, or dessert with a little bit of ice cream!
A personal favorite is with a little butter or cream cheese with breakfast!
My favorite kitchen items I used to make this CINNAMON SUGAR BREAD.
Don't forget to pin this CINNAMON SUGAR BREAD recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.
In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and remaining 1 cup sugar. Sift together to combine.
I know this is a dessert, but I am certain I'd be eating this for breakfast with my morning coffee.
When my kids were small they loved cinnamon toast. This is like the better, more grown up version of that! Can't wait to try this recipe!!
I think I have fallen in love with this recipe!
I am all about the carbs too and add this bread to my newest obsession! Yum!!
OMG! This is my kind of bread!
Looks delicious! perfect for my breakfast!
Oh yum, I could go for a big slice of that right now!
We were working on my son's campaign finance report this morning, which was due by 5 pm and I was thinking donuts but remembered I had left this recipe open on my kindle so, of course, why not make this and skip the drive to the bakery? Everyone loved it!! Bonus, it was so easy and in less than an hour we had fresh, hot, delicious cinnamon bread! Thanks for sharing!! I'll be pinning this for future use!
Thanks, I'm so glad you enjoy it!

École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne

Julien Fournié es un diseñador de moda francés que fue el último Director Artístico de la casa de Haute Couture Torrente

En general, las compradoras de su moda ultra-chic son "muy muy jóvenes", ya que "buscan una alternativa a sus mamás" en los nuevos creadores, explica Fournié, quien antes de lanzar su propia marca, en 2009, Julien Fournié trabajó con algunas leyendas como Montana, Jean-Paul Gaultier y Alexander McQueen.

De origen castellano por su madre y de padre francés, la moda es un atavismo por Julien Fournié: de sus abuelos curtidores, tiene el gusto por las materias nobles, otra abuela corsetera le transmite la exigencia del trabajo bien hecho, su padre por fin, óptico, le da el gusto por las formas nuevas en los accesorios.

A la edad de tres años, encuentra su juego favorito y su arma mayor en la vida: el lápiz. Muy rápidamente, colorea su tema favorito: ¡ las princesas! Lejos de este universo mágico, la escuela y la práctica regular del piano le dan disciplina. Cuando sale del capullo familiar, el adolescente que crece en las afueras en el norte de París está confrontado con un mundo más violento: se crea allí amistades sólidas y alimenta también la convicción que la autenticidad es la mejor de pasaportes.

A la hora de las elecciones decisivas de orientación, después del bachillerato, el lado científico se lo lleva primero sobre su pasión para el vestido: ¡ es decidido, hará medicina! Dos años de universidad más tarde, Julien Fournié opta definitivamente por la moda y persigue sus estudios en la École de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. Saldrá de eso con el diploma de diseñador de moda en 2000.
En el momento del desfile que cierra este ciclo de estudios, el jurado de París Fashion Awards 2000 le concede el Premio Moët y Chandon del Mejor Accesorio.
En el curso de estos tres años de estudios y de su epílogo necesario, multiplica las prácticas cerca de casas prestigiosas. Después de una primera experiencia en casa de Nina Ricci, pasa a los accesorios en casa de Christian Dior, luego en casa de Givenchy Haute Couture.

Comienza una nueva prácticas en casa de Céline cuando Jean-Paul Gaultier lo contrata como asistente diseñador Haute Couture. Le confía, para la colección de Otoño/Invierno 2001/2002, la búsqueda de materias y la concepción de los bordados. Colabora también en los trajes de escena de Madonna. A finales de 2001, el estudio de Claude Montana lo contrata como diseñador de accesorios. Elabora allí colecciones de sacos, fulares y joya.

A la edad de 28 años, este joven hombre es reclutado al principio el verano boreal de 2003 como Director del Diseño del Prêt-à-porter en casa de Torrente. Ant

es de su primer desfile para la casa del Rond-Point des Champs-Elysées, su Dirección general decide, al principio del septiembre de 2003 de nombrarle Director Artístico del conjunto de sus líneas.
Es él que sucedió a la Sra. Torrente-Mett en estas funciones. Del estilo de la fundadora de esta casa, retiene "la feminidad exacerbada", de sus formas, "vestdos que acarician el
cuerpo de las mujeres", de sus líneas, "la elegancia del mostrar-ocultar, al contrario de toda vulgaridad"...
Por Torrente, Julien Fournié ha creado colecciones de títulos evocadores:
"París-Hollywood" (Primavera-Verano 2004), "París-Oz" (Haute Couture Primavera-Verano 2004), "París-Cotton Club" (Otoño-Invierno 2004/2005), « Paris–1,Rond-Point » (Haute Couture Otoño-Invierno 2004/2005).

La prensa le asigna la "vuelta creativa" de la marca (AFP), saluda sus "bodas con la elegancia encontrada" (Madame Figaro) o su "estilo realista al servicio de las mujeres", observa su "entrada en la corte de los grandes" ("1000 Modelos")." "Julien Fournié se atreve sin límites. Y las clientes gustan." (C&G).
Sus calidades de ilustrador lo hacen participar en distintos proyectos específicos. Durante la semana della moda de Nueva York, ilustra para un gran sitio Internet americano cada uno de los desfiles a los cuales asiste.

Atraído por los grandes formatos, Julien Fournié hace también pintura.
Una serie de nueve telas titulada "las mujeres y sus armas" se llevan
a cabo actualmente.

Funneled From Criminal Justice to Deportation
Sandra Castaneda was 20 when she was given a life sentence for a murder she didn't commit. After she'd spent 19 years in prison, a judge overturned her conviction and ordered her release. But instead of Sandra walking free, she found herself behind bars again, in a holding cell in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. That's because California prisons notify ICE whenever they release a person who wasn't born in the U.S. – even someone like Sandra, who's a legal permanent resident and lived here since elementary school. What happened next is a window into an all-too-common story for immigrants who get funneled from the criminal justice system into the deportation system. Even when states like California have overturned their convictions. KQED's Senior Immigration Editor Tyche Hendricks has been following Sandra's case for months, and brings us this audio documentary. see more
California Senate Votes on Housing-Transit Measure SB 50

Senate Bill 50, one of the most contentious state bills in years, failed to pass the California senate on Wednesday. The bill would upzone areas around transit and allow mid-rise buildings in some areas currently limited to single-family homes. The bill's author, state Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco, argues that reforming zoning is necessary to solve what he calls the state's dire housing shortage. Critics call the bill an assault on single-family homes and a catalyst for more displacement of low-income people. We'll discuss the latest.

LONDON – Consumers expect more advertising than is currently being shown across four major devices: mobile, tablet, PC and television, says Tom Bowman, VP of Strategy and Sales Operations for BBC Worldwide.
This information comes from a survey conducted by the BBC at the end of 2012 of 3600 people across 9 countries. To qualify, participants had to have access to news on at least three of the four devices.
The survey asked participants how they thought advertising would be split among the four devices. On average, consumers said they expected 43 percent of advertising to be on television and 53 percent to be divided among the other three devices: PC, tablet and mobile.
Bowman says the goal of the survey was to see how multiscreen consumption is happening today. The survey showed that participants expected the same quality and timescale on all devices.
"The end result of this is actually more media consumption," Bowman says.
Beet.TV spoke with Bowman in this video interview at the Beet.TV Video Ad Strategy Summit.

Take a clue from stock exchanges to gauge sustainability's future
Mike Wallace and Evan Harvey
Wednesday, December 9, 2015 - 1:31am
riseinteractive.com
Trend analysis is nothing new. If you want to be successful in business, you're always looking at trends, identifying patterns and following progressions — and doing it better and faster than the next guy.
Understanding the dynamics of influence is crucial to business survival, let alone staying ahead of the pack. Sustainability professionals must learn to master this particularly important skill.
Sustainability managers, directors and even officers constantly make the business case for their own position, project scope and budget. Understanding the global financial markets can help do just that.
If you want a powerful tool for predicting where the sustainability field is heading, just look at what's going on with stock exchanges. They are the machines behind public equity economics, and deeply rewarding sources of trend analysis.
Stock exchange developments
Like most professions and industries, the world's stock exchanges have their own club, or association — The World Federation of Exchanges. Like many associations, the WFE has transitioned from a benign support organization to an advocate for better industry practices. This is especially true of its sustainability efforts; the association works with virtually every stock exchange on the planet to evaluate sustainability performance, create change and engage with stakeholders.
This is a significant development in the sustainability field, especially if you consider the potential ripple effects:
The World Federation of Exchanges is the global trade association for exchanges and clearing houses. The WFE represents 64 public stock, futures and options exchanges, as well as CCPs, including those not affiliated with a single exchange. WFE promotes the development of fair, efficient and transparent markets. We work with policy makers, regulators and standard-setters around the world to support the development of effective rules and standards for exchanges and market participants.
Over 44,000 companies — representing a total market capitalization of $64 trillion, trading value of $76 trillion and equivalent to more than 75 percent of global GDP — list on WFE member exchanges.
The WFE formally launched its own Sustainability Working Group in March 2014 in order to "disseminate and foster best practices among member exchanges on sustainability." Some 20 months later, in November, the working group released its Exchange Guidance and Recommendations on sustainability. These guidelines help stock exchanges engage with their listed companies in the practice of measuring, managing and reporting on sustainability performance.
The working group is chaired by NASDAQ and made up of 25 stock exchanges from a wide array of economies and markets, including IntercontinentalExchange/NYSE, Deutsche Börse, Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India.
The shrewdness of this move is that it took its cue from global sustainability trends that already are shaping the markets, both on the buy and sell side. Investors everywhere are asking for reliable, material and comparable information — as are the leading reporting frameworks that many companies already deal with.
There was also overlapping involvement between members of the WFE's Sustainability Working Group and the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchange Initiative (SSE), which was established in 2009 and recently released the Model Guidance on Reporting ESG Information to Investors: A Voluntary Tool for Stock Exchanges to Guide Issuers.
Nevertheless, the WFE guidance goes further than the U.N. document, identifying a fair number of specific environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators that exchanges should consider addressing with listed companies.
Appendices to the guidance tie each metric above to existing sustainability reporting frameworks — as well as a comprehensive list of stock exchange value drivers. There is also a summary of existing stock exchange sustainability practices, guidelines and (in some cases) listing rules.
Engaging the market
NASDAQ tries to lead by example. Many of its exchanges — especially those in the Nordics — frequently are ranked as the most transparent in the world on sustainable disclosures from listed companies. The parent company also documents its own Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability progress.
NASDAQ also initiated a webinar series to broadcast sustainability learning and expertise to listed companies and all other interested stakeholders. Episodes to date include:
December 2014 (pilot) — The Transparency Triumph: Use existing systems to enhance operational awareness, track progress, and manage sustainability. Featuring Microsoft and NASDAQ's own sustainability efforts, including supplier engagement techniques and strategies.
March 2015 — Modern Due Diligence: How financial markets are analyzing and incorporating non-financial corporate performance data. Featuring Bloomberg, BlackRock and NASDAQ experts explaining how the markets are using sustainability information.
June 2015 — Making Sense of Sustainability: Tips from the top non-financial reporting frameworks. Featuring experts from the leading reporting frameworks: Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board and The International Integrated Reporting Council.
September 2015 — How Human Capital Impacts Corporate Financial Performance. Featuring experts from Harvard Law School's Labor and Worklife Program (Pensions & Capital Stewardship Project).
The next webinar in this series will be an end-of-year update on the state of the stock exchange developments, as well as a look at global sustainability trends through the eyes of the World Business Council on Sustainable Development.
Reading the tea leaves: Implications for companies
As these stock exchange initiatives unfold and as listed companies increasingly face market demands to measure, manage and report their own material ESG issues, a common pattern presents itself.
This is a pattern all companies should know and manage, if not leverage for business opportunities. We've seen it time and again: large, publicly traded multinational develops and implements a sustainability program; measures, manages and discloses its sustainability performance publicly for all stakeholders; recognizes the impacts, risks and opportunities in its supply chain; implements a supplier sustainability program and seeks some level of ESG disclosure from suppliers — both publicly traded and privately held suppliers.
What most sustainability professionals overlook is the immediate business case this supply chain ripple can have on their own sustainability interests.
One of the most interesting and forward thinking examples in this common pattern comes from Intel. A shareholder resolution from the New York City Comptroller sought greater disclosure from technology sector companies and their suppliers.
Intel took the initiative to invite 75 key suppliers to a sustainability training. Again, these were not just publicly traded companies, but privately held firms, and they were some of Intel's biggest suppliers. Intel offered the suppliers a full two-day GRI Training course and had a captive audience of suppliers trained on how to identify, measure and report on their most material ESG issues.
Not only did this exercise benefit Intel's own supply chain management interests, but it also helped the entire industry and other interested shareholders such as the New York City Comptroller. Public and private companies in the supply chain started reporting on sustainability publicly, which in turn helped those same suppliers address other customers who were asking similar questions.
Make demand a business advantage
What most sustainability professionals overlook is the immediate business case this supply chain ripple can have on their own sustainability interests. When a customer such as Intel asks suppliers to take action on sustainability, it creates a powerful business case and tangible reasons to support and enhance a sustainability program.
Whether public or private, large or small, some stakeholder will ask about your company's sustainability efforts and ask for specifics about your overall ESG performance. In fact, a lack of public transparency on sustainability is increasingly triggering audits of suppliers.
As the stock exchanges increase their efforts and shareholders do the same, the top-down demand for transparency eventually will affect every company.
As the stock exchanges increase their efforts and shareholders do the same, the top-down demand for transparency eventually will affect every company. This is even more relevant as an increasing number of public agencies — such as universities, cities, counties, states and nations — implement their own sustainability programs and begin to look at their supply chain.
The customer-supplier connection is the key to understand our collective global impact, as well as make our most powerful business case for sustainability. While privately held companies don't have the same market pressures driving them to measure, manage and report on sustainability performance, they do have customers.
Some leading privately held companies such as Southwire and GOJO are taking advantage of customer interest to turn sustainability programs into new business opportunities and a competitive advantage.
A look at the "point of sale" (whether shares of stock or goods and services) and mapping it to sustainability demands can help you make the strongest case, while also helping your company stay ahead of emerging compliance requirements.

At the juncture of a new beginning, as we look forward to the coming academic year at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Keonjhar, we strive to achieve the aims and objectives of Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan.
This Vidyalaya has a vast campus in the lap of nature bestowed with the best scenic locale, an environment conducive to stress-free, the holistic growth of mind, body, and soul of tender children.
With reforms like CCE and CCA becoming an integral part of regular schooling in order to make a child grow not only intellectually but also emotionally and socially, KVS has created opportunity abundant by giving a platform for those who seek to bring out the best in the students.
Childhood can be enjoyed while learning nuances of knowledge, only if we give happy, meaningful schooling with honest, ethical practices, giving importance to human dignity. The aim of education must be to develop value infused human beings without compromising on core issues of competition and knowledge.
This can be achieved with a collaborative effort of all stakeholders i.e., the administration, VMC, PTA and all well-wishers. As said by Anatole France- " Nine-tenth of education is an encouragement." This is not possible without the constructive suggestion in transforming the students into responsible citizens of future. A lot can be achieved when our intention is positive.
We at KV Keonjhar are committed to making this tomorrow brighter.
