Madhya Pradesh to close down the Hoshangabad Science Teaching
Program. As a person involved with HSTP since its inception, and as a
co-founder of Eklavya, I feel completely outraged at the decision and
the manner in which it was taken. It has now come to notice that the
Government had prepared a note for the closure, which was never
shared with Eklavya. This note, circulated by Mr. Gopalakrishnan to
some people who protested the decision is not only superficial and
motivated, but even dangerous in its political philosophy. I have
added my responses to it and am attaching it with this mail.
It should also be clear that the Government of MP, belonging to the
Congress party, has taken the decision to close the program on the
basis of a complaint of a BJP MLA. This also raises serious questions
regarding the ideological stance of the present Government vis a vis
communal elements. I have highlighted that in an article, which is
also being attached.
You can send protests to the Chief Minister at: Digvijay Singh
and R. Gopalakrishnan at: "R Gopalakrishnan"
