World Teacher’s Day - October 5

World Teacher’s Day - October 5 

Valuing Teachers, Improving their Status is the World Teachers' Day slogan for 2016

This year World Teachers’ Day marks the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers. It is also the first world Teachers’ Day (WTD) to be celebrated within the new Global Education 2030 Agenda adopted by the world community one year ago.

This year’s theme, “Valuing Teachers, Improving their Status”, embodies the fundamental principles of the fifty-year-old Recommendation while shining a light on the need to support teachers as reflected in the agenda’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A specific education goal, SDG4, pledges to “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.

To celebrate World Teachers’ Day Rosa Mystica Library has planned to display books on Fathers of Diverse Discipline & General Books for couple of days (5th-6th October, 2016).

All are invited.

Reactivation of IGNOU’s eGyanKosh: A National Digital Repository

IGNOU is reactivating its popular educational resource portal 

eGyanKosh. In view of the national requirement the University has

 taken a decision to reactivate the portal on ‘as-is-where-is basis’.

IGNOU initiated the development of a knowledge repository 

named e-GyanKosh (www.egyankosh.ac.in) in October, 2005, to 

store, index, preserve, distribute and share the digital learning 

resources developed by the ODL institutions in the country. It 

emerged as one of the world’s largest educational resource 

repositories, and the access to the repository was open and free.

 Self-instructional print material of around 2565 courses 

(comprising more than forty thousand course modules) and 2389 

video programmes of IGNOU have been digitised and uploaded on 

the repository.

Reactivation of eGyanKosh may also provide an integral base for 

two major initiatives of MHRD, the National Digital Library 

(NDL) and the SWAYAM (India MOOCS) programme and similar

 other platforms. This will in turn be benefitting millions of learner 

and teacher community in the country.

Question Corner???

Why and how do oceans absorb carbondioxide?

Ocean is the largest carbon sink on earth. It occupies nearly 70% of the earth’s surface. As such, the atmosphere comes into contact with the vast extent of ocean’s surface. The atmospheric CO enters the ocean through steady exchange at surface. This is a physico-chemical process. The difference in partial pressure of the CO between seawater and air facilitate gaseous exchange. The diffusion takes place until the partial pressures across the air-water interface are equilibrated. The following two processes ensure the continuous exchange at the air-sea interface, though occasional supersaturation at the surface film is not ruled out.

The seawater contains millions of tiny, microscopic photosynthetic phytoplankton which utilizes CO during photosynthesis. They convert the CO into sugars and other carbon compounds which ultimately enters the food web. The biological pump transfers carbon dioxide from the surface of the ocean to the deep sea.

Unlike other gases, CO reacts with seawater to form dissolved inorganic carbon, ionic and non-ionic species like dissolved free Carbon dioxide (CO), Carbonic Acid (HCO), Bicarbonate (HCO) and Carbonate (CO). The carbonate system is the unique phenomenon of marine ecosystem. The pH of seawater is regulated by the bicarbonate and carbonate concentrations. Marine organisms combine calcium and carbonate ions in the calcification process and manufacture calcareous material. As the organisms die, the skeletal material sinks and buried in sediments.
