Irani also announced that the first draft of the new national education policy is likely to be ready by year end.

Saying that she has been deliberating with the stakeholders and had held three regional meets, including one in UP along with video-conferencing with district magistrates, she noted that she proposes to ready the first draft by December this year.

Stressing that the Narendra Modi government aspired to provide world class education to youngsters in the country, she said under the Global Initiative Academic Nation programme (GUIAN) which aims at inviting foreign experts to India, the ministry had received names of 320 faculty members so far.

She also informed of a central government initiative “Shala Darpan”, under which parents of a student going to government-run schools would be able to check the attendance of their children, and also of teachers, their report cards and many other things in real time. This was an endeavour to improve the educational standards in the government-run schools, she said.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
