Primary education - all well?

11 June 2008 - 11:31pm — silkboard

What was your experience like when you ran around to get your 3-4 year old admitted into pre-school or nursery? Leaving out those who could afford to pay and get into the 'top end' primary schools (money was the clear filter there), did the rest have good visibility into the criteria used to accept or reject their children? How many of you got real receipts for the entry/admission fee you paid? And if you hedged between 2-3 schools, and got admission into all, did you get your fees or deposits refunded in full?

Metro Rail - A Bad Move?

11 June 2008 - 10:42am — narayan82

This mornings paper confirmed my apprehensions of the Metro Project.

It is really sad to see this shuffling around of people every year almost. A new chief will have to start from scratch again. bring in his own ideas and his own theories which slow down the project.

Praja site for Mangalore

11 June 2008 - 10:28am — admin

There have been requests to start a Mangalore-Praja site. thaks to recent technical changes, we are now in a position to start one. But we need to assess if we have 10-15 votes of interest from folks who would be willing to make constructive posts on civic issues, and will be interested in taking matters beyond discussion later when memberships numbers reach good levels.

"TTMC’s are planned to have multi-level parking lot, public utilities like mini-shopping centres and food courts.
