INJUSTICE DONE TO A NRI GOAN STUDENT.

GSRP Press Release for kind favour of publicatio​n floriano.lobo@gmail.com Jun 16 (2 days ago)   MBBS Seat Allocation a Money-Making Racket alleges GSRPGoa Su-Raj Party (GSRP) has alleged that the Ministry of Education & Directorate of Technical Education are willfully and deliberately toying with careers of NRI-Goan students in return for personal gratification and favors. Bringing to fore the case of Charmaine Melrose Almeida who lost out on the MBBS seat allocation to study to become a doctor at the Goa Medical College, Goa Su-Raj Party, Secretary & President (Youth Affairs) explained, "In the first Degree Eligibility List made public by the DTE, Charmaine Melrose Almeida is given eligibility in two categories as an NRI and Goan Native (Goan Native being one whose parent/grand parent is born in Goa). Another candidate Lakshmi Sanjaykumar Nikam in the Degree Eligibility List is shown only as an NRI. However in the Final Degree Admission Merit List Charmaine Melrose Almeida is placed third, while Lakshmi Sanjaykumar Nikam is placed second in the two available seat-quote for the NRI-Goan Native, thereby now having to opt for a Non-MBBS course." Rodrigues further elaborated, "We put forward an appeal to both the Chief Minister & Deputy Chief Minister of. Goa, but we and the girl's family have till now received a cold-shoulder and a non-interest in the issue. In fact when the girl's mother met with the Deputy CM he told her to consider Manipal Hospital MBBS Courses by paying Rs 25lacs and he questioned her on why they wanted to put their daughter in Goa, they should take Portuguese Citizenship." Goa Su-Raj Party representatives & family along with girl met with the Director of Directorate of Technical Education (DTE). "When showed the Director the errors of the candidate Lakshmi Sanjaykumar Nikam, he retorted by saying her grandmother is of Goan origin. But when questioned as to why it does not appear on the Degree Eligibility List, he answered saying that 'sometimes parents make errors and we guide them to fill the application form even after the Degree Eligibility List is out. To which we brought to his attention Rules of Admission in the prospectus Section 4.09 wherein it states  'no change after last date of submission of application form is permissible'. The director replied back with an even more shocking reply stating, "you cannot be a stickler to every single rule and went on to explain that though the day Mark-Sheet date of submission is 24th, CBSE only gave the Mark-Sheet to students on 26th, we cannot follow every rule". Rodrigues expressed,  "Our conversation with the Director of DTE and the cold-shoulder received from the government indicates that there appears to be a foul-play in action to deny the genuine NRI-Goan native an MBBS seat. We have learned from a colleague of the girl who studied with Lakshmi Sanjaykumar Nikam and is No 4 on the Degree Merit List that the girl always claimed to be a Maharashtrian and never a Goan. It clearly indicates that some have received a gratification to give this candidate a benefit and we demand an investigation from the government. We along with the family will also be going to Court on the issue to bring a stay on the admission process."

PORTUGUESE FOOTBALLER PEPE IS A “BURRO”.

Much of the beauty of Portuguese soccer and glitter of the prestigious World Cup 2014 was destroyed by the “BURRO” defender of the otherwise renowned Portuguese soccer team yesterday when he head butted one of the forwards of Germany.  It was unnecessary and unwanted yet the frequent performer of such dirty tactics Pepe made the great blunder of his soccer career and thus destroyed the beautiful image of Portugal from whom spectators and TV viewers were expecting a lot.  In the bargain the great Ronaldo also suffered in the sense he was totally demoralized when Pepe was red carded, of course rightly.   

Even though he was demoralized and shaken as a skipper yet he displayed his skill of dribbling the ball with cross legs and feeding his colleagues with accurate passes.  Pepe had no business to lose his temper.  By doing so he destroyed himself first and secondly he destroyed the chances of his team of smooth sailing. Like Cricketters he too should be fined heavily as a deterrent for others too.

Germany deserved to be the winners because their soccer was more disciplined and organized while Portuguese were more erratic and aimless. Thomas Mueller’s hat-trick which is the first one of this tournament was excellent but the best goal of the match was the one scored thru a piercing header by their forward Hummels.

Once again I condemn Pepe who let his team down because of his hot temper.  Such hot tempered players should not be fielded by their coaches.  It is an undeniable fact that Pepe is a great defender but his lack of discipline on the field clouded his plus points as a foot-balller. In his absence and one man down Portuguese could not do much and that they received only 4 goals withut any reply was a big consolation. But in the history of Portuguese soccer Pepe will be remembered as a ‘BURRO”.

WELL PLAYED THE NETHERLANDS.

Never in the history of FIFA World Cup the defending champions received such a humiliating defeat as Spain did today and as shown live in TV at 12.30 in Goa.  It was not an ordinary defeat but a real massacre where the normal might of Spain as seen during the last 8 years was totally liquidated by the excellence of the Netherlands. 

 

 

During the first half especially after scoring their goal thru penalty kick by their defender Alonso it looked Spain will easily carry the day and in fact the way they were playing it was proving that they were underestimating their opponents. Their moves and actions on the field showing that they were sure to defeat the Netherlands as they did 4 years back in the last World Cup final.   But since last final and now there is lot of change in the Netherlands and that it is so they proved it in this encounter by defeating the reigning champions with a margin of 5-1 goals.

The penalty awarded to Spain by the Italian referee was absolutely right and  Alonso was also right in hitting it so hard otherwise Dutch keeper would save it easily since he dived in the same corner as the ball entered the net. But the equaliser scored by Persee thru the well measured header was extremely beautiful beating the world best keeper Cassilas under Spanish bar.  In fact Cassilas such an experienced and expert keeper was totally at a loss standing still like a monument watching the ball going into his net over him.  Such a mighty keeper otherwise it was a pity to see him thus turning himself into a monument.

The other 4 goals scored by Robben 2, Persee 1 again and by Stephan Vrij were all exceptionally great.  The second goal of Persee by snatching the ball from Cassilas due to silly mistake of Cassilas to clear the ball in time was fantastic one and the other one scored by Robben by dribbling past two defenders and Cassilas as well was an extra ordinary feat of his sprinting prowess. He, Persee and Schneider in the midfield have totally changed the game in the second half with their intelligent moves and with short passing. Finally it was a pity to see Spain surrendering  so easily their normal might to the clever play makers of the Netherlands.

The first match between Cameroun and Mexico did not create much excitement as the second one but the winners Mexico were the deserving winners and winnining goal scored by their forward Peralta was worth admiring.  Rogoer Millal’s Cameroun was expected to create an upset but they lacked Roger Milla's skill in their rank and for this reason they lost.

I did not watch the third match.
