PBS: New Heroes: Inderjit Khurana - Train Platform Schools India 01/02
Project: Ruchika School Social Service Organization (RSSO), Train Platform Schools Location: Orissa, India As a schoolteacher, Inderjit Khurana used to take the train to work. And each day, in the stations, she would come into contact with dozens of children who spent their days begging from train passengers rather than attending school. She learned that it was not a rare or isolated problem and that millions of children in India live on the streets. Convinced that these children would never be able to escape their conditions of poverty and homelessness without education, and realizing that it would be impossible to enroll these children in school, Inderjit decided to create a model program for “taking the school to the most out-of-school children.” Khurana’s “train platform schools” aim to provide a creative school atmosphere and equip children with the basic levels of education necessary to allow them to work productively, enjoy many of life’s pleasures, and become positive contributors to their communities. Khurana’s ultimate goals reach far beyond the 20 platform schools she and her colleagues have created in India’s Bhubaneswar region. She is determined that her program become a model for effectively changing the lives of the poorest children throughout India and the world.

Abstract Art Is Complex To Explain
Abstract art will delight some and mystify others; therefore, it is necessary to define it, so that the viewer may decide for himself what is real and true. Abstract art springs from many sources, from the roots of Art Nouveau with its curlicues and swirls of industrial designer-type art and Cubism, that jagged sense of geometry imposing its will upon the natural world so that few can understand it, though many would discern in the angular line of a cityscape, for instance.
