Kothari commission

The Education Commission (1964-66) chaired by D S Kothari made a valuable set of recommendations on financing education in India, many of which are still relevant for education planning but have not received much official attention. A review of the premises of the recommendations, the visionary approach adopted by the commission and their current relevance are attempted in this paper and will hopefully be useful for the preparation of the Eleventh Plan. The Economic and Political Weekly, published from Mumbai, is an Indian institution which enjoys a global reputation for excellence in independent scholarship and critical inquiry. First published in 1949 as the Economic Weekly and since 1966 as the Economic and Political Weekly, EPW, as the journal is popularly known, occupies a special place in the intellectual history of independent India. For more than five decades EPW has remained a unique forum that week after week has brought together academics, researchers, policy makers, independent thinkers, members of non-governmental organisations and political activists for debates straddling economics, politics, sociology, culture, the environment and numerous other disciplines.

Israel accuses the rights council, and the commission, of being unfairly biased. The report also accused both Hamas and the rival Palestinian Authority in the Israeli-occupied West Bank of committing rights violations. But it said most of the violations it had uncovered were committed by Israel as part of a campaign it says is aimed at “ensuring and enshrining its permanent occupation at the expense of the rights of the Palestinian people.” This is a locator map of Israel and the Palestinian Territories.

Miloon Kothari, member of the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, briefs reporters on the first report of the Commission. UN Photo/Jean Marc Ferré The UN Human Rights Council’s Commission of Inquiry (CoI) on Israel released its third report on Thursday detailing what it called “attacks, restrictions and harassment of civil society actors” by Israel. The 22-page report accuses Israel of war crimes and finds that Israel’s suppression of civil society voices is “intrinsically linked to the goal of ensuring and enshrining the permanent occupation at the expense of the rights of the Palestinian people.” Israel on Thursday denounced the report as a “prejudged narrative.” “The claims and false accusations against Israel presented in the latest report are widely based on so-called public hearings which would be better described as kangaroo trials,” the Israeli Mission to the UN in Geneva said. “In just a year, this Commission and its three Commissioners have used antisemitic tropes, they have denied Israel’s right to exist as a member of the United Nations, they have attacked the widely embraced [International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance] IHRA working definition of antisemitism, and they have come out in support of [the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement].
