The increase in the ceiling will come into effect in the 2011-12 academic session. "But the raise in the ceiling is not automatic; it is subject to verification of infrastructure and human resource," Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.

Thanks to the decision, the intake in the 37 government medical colleges across the country will go up by 3,700 seats a year. The private sector colleges can increase the intake in the next academic session.

Mr. Azad said the Ministry was awaiting the response of the corporate sector to its proposal of corporate houses opening medical colleges. If corporate houses, including big hospitals, showed interest in opening medical colleges, the number of seats at the entry point would go up. The response would be known in August when applications were due for grant of permission to set up colleges or enhance the number of seats.

"I will also be writing to the State governments to enhance the retirement age of the faculty in medical colleges to overcome the shortage of teachers. The retirement age in the Central government institutions has already been raised to 65 years, while in a majority of the States the limit is 58 years. In Kerala, it is the lowest, at 55 years," Mr. Azad said.

Besides rolling out a plan for adding 10,000 postgraduate seats in phases, the Ministry has relaxed the norms for the medical colleges to apply for postgraduate seats. The colleges can now apply for postgraduate courses in the third year of their existence. Earlier, they could apply only after five years. Of the 10,000 postgraduate seats, 4,000 were added, while the rest would be created in the coming years.

High on the Ministry's agenda is the setting up of one national and eight regional institutes of paramedical sciences. The institutes would cost close to Rs. 1,000 crore and turn out 10,000 more paramedical staff every year.

Every graduate after enrolment as lawyer in the respective State Bar Council will have to clear this examination, which will test skills and basic knowledge critical for a new entrant to the profession.

Eligibility check'

It is intended to check for eligibility, rather than expertise,BCI Chairman and Solicitor-General Gopal Subramaniam said here on Wednesday, after launching the BCI's Vision Statement 2010-2012, which addresses the challenges before the legal profession and creating solutions.

The examination would be held once in six months and anyone failing in the first test could re-appear.

A legal consultancy firm, Rainmaker, will assist the BCI in conducting and managing the test in nine languages and in preparing the material for the test, for which it would collect Rs. 1,300 from each candidate.?

Mr. Subramaniam said: ?The Indian legal profession consists of approximately 11 lakh registered advocates, around 1,000 law schools and approximately 5 lakh law students. Every year, approximately 60,000 law graduates join the legal profession.?

Asked whether the BCI had taken permission from the Human Resource Development Ministry for conducting the test, Mr. Subramaniam said the council, as a statutory body, was not dependent on its approval.

On entry of foreign lawyers, Mr. Subramaniam said the BCI was opposed to it. Unlike in other countries, in India there was a standard of practice maintained by lawyers and they were not governed by earning money alone. ?The stage of allowing foreign lawyers has not yet come.? The BCI was open to a debate on this issue.

Bill on legal education

Talking to journalists, Law Minister Veerappa Moily said the Bill proposed by the HRD Ministry, touching on certain aspects of legal education, would be taken up at an inter-ministerial meeting and differences sorted out.

He said the legal profession was governed by the Advocates Act and no Bill would be possible without amending the Act.

BCI Vice-Chairman R. Dhanapal Raj and members of various State Bar Councils were present at the launch of the Vision Statement.

The Indian Banks Association (IBA), the representative organisation of private and public sector banks in India, has proposed that instead of allowing an unlimited number of free transactions at another bank's ATM, there should be a limit of up to five free transactions a month.

"Beyond five transactions, we propose to levy a transaction fee of Rs 20 per transaction for using another bank's ATM," said IBA Deputy Chief Executive K Unnikrishnan.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has accepted the IBA proposal, but it will be implemented only by October, Unnikrishnan told IANS here Friday.

A RBI spokesperson confirmed the development.

"It will be optional on the part of the banks to levy this charge on customers. We have not made it mandatory but left it to their (banks') discretion," Unnikrishnan said.

He explained that since the RBI's permission has been taken, it would not be improper on the part of banks to levy the charges if they wanted.

There are a little over 40,000 ATMs in India, of which nearly 30,000 are in urban centres and metros. The remaining 10,000 are in semi-urban centres with only a sprinkling in rural areas.

There are around 80 public sector, private, cooperative and foreign participating banks in the ATM network in the country.

After the ATM transactions fees on using other banks' ATMs was scrapped in April, the IBA studied the entire gamut of ATM transactions.

"We found that a majority of the ATM transactions were in the range of average withdrawals of Rs 3,500 to Rs 4,000, and 90 per cent of all transactions were below Rs 10,000. Hence, the intended purpose to serve the common man was achieved," Unnikrishnan said.

However, there was a small minority of users who withdrew very large sums on account of high card limits given by some banks to privileged customers.

At the other extreme, there were some customers who withdrew miniscule amounts, or made other kinds of inquiries. This created several logistics problems causing avoidable expenditure for banks at the cost of the common user, he said.

Taking into account these and related aspects, the IBA submitted a proposal to RBI last month.

"We shall give sufficient notice to the customers before implementing it, and individual banks can also inform their customers about the proposal and whether or not they would charge their customers. It will give time to effect suitable modifications in the ATM programmes to implement it," Unnikrishnan said.

Selection -A student who has passed Common Proficiency Test and senior secondary examination (10+2 examination) conducted by an examining body constituted by law in India or an examination recognized by the Central Government as equivalent thereto may join the Integrated Professional Competence Course or may opt for Accounting Technician Course.

ISRO satellite Centre (ISAC) one of the major R&D centres of ISRO, responsible for the development of satellite technology requires the  following:

"This is the first time an effort has been made to universalise education in the country," the minister said, adding: "We have been talking about it for the last 16 years."

He said it was high time "we gave every child a legal right" to education.

The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Bill, 2009, that the Rajya Sabha had cleared July 20 was passed by the Lower House by a voice vote, and Sibal, who piloted the measure, gave a clarion call to all states to cooperate with the Central government in implementing the measure.

There were as many as 20 cut motions from the Left parties against the proposed legislation but these were defeated on the floor of the house.

The Bill will now go to President Pratibha Patil for her assent before becoming law.

"There is no politics here, this is a partnership between the Centre and the states for India's future," Sibal maintained. "This is a national enterprise. All state governments, us and civil society organisations are part of it."

The minister said there were "10 historic things" in the legislation. Enlisting these, he counted free education, compulsory education, insistence on having a national curriculum and quality education that gives three years' time to schools to set up physical infrastructure or face de-recognition.

Sibal said every school in India would have to fulfil infrastructure requirements and the states have been advised to set up recognition authorities. "This is the first time such a leap forward had been taken," the minister added.

Among other firsts, he said to ensure there were properly qualified teachers, the legislation would give under-qualified teachers five years to acquire the necessary academic credentials.

Simultaneously, the states would be told that all new appointments must meet qualification standards prescribed by an academic authority.

The legislation, in what the minister said was another historic move, calls for 25 per cent reservation in private schools for disadvantaged children from the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and socially and educationally backward sections.

He said the states have been given the liberty to decide the disadvantaged classes whose children would be eligible under the 25 per cent reservation category.

However, the law would make it mandatory when the model rules were framed for its implementation that children with disabilities were mandatorily included among the disadvantaged children.

"This will be the first time in India that disabled children are integrated with the school system," Sibal said.
