Choice of Colleges in India

Introduction:

    God has made all human beings equal but in the eyes of Society all persons are not equal. Similarly, all colleges are not equal by way of reputation and credibility. Hence, one has to choose a College carefully weighing its merits because employers do not accept a degree from any institution but give credence to the reputation of the college. A good college has to be recognized by one of the following relevant authorities: All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), National Council for Teachers Education (NCTE), Medical Council of India (MCI), Indian Nursing Council (INC), Dentist Council of India (DCI) and Central Council of Homeopathy (CCH). Further, a student must assess the academic qualifications of the faculty, the variety of courses, library and laboratory facilities available.

New breastfeeding law could help mothers nursing at work

When Stacey Weiland was a gastroenterology fellow and a new mother she had trouble finding the time or a place to pump breast milk at the Colorado hospitals where she worked, and often ended up in a bathroom stall or just not pumping at all.

Weiland would wear heavy sweaters in order to hide any milk leakage from co-workers and got little sympathy from colleagues who saw her requests to breastfeed as an inconvenience.

“It was like I was asking to go out and smoke,” she recalled.

“The field of gastroenterology is very male-dominated,” she added. “I remember one time I told one of them that I had to go pump, and he thought that I needed to go lift weights.”

Weiland’s story is not unusual. Many working moms find it challenging to continue to breastfeed when they return to work because there is often little employer support and few if any good locations for them to express milk during the workday.

But that’s all expected to change thanks to a little-known provision in the still-controversial health care bill signed into law by President Barack Obama.

The Affordable Care Act amended the Fair Labor Standards Act, and for the first time employers will be federally mandated to provide women with breaks and a place to breastfeed.

“My objective is to make the rights under this new law accessible to as many working moms as possible,” said Nancy Leppink, Deputy Administrator of the Department of Labor’s wage and hour division. To that end, the DOL is asking for public comment before it embarks on writing the guidelines for the new nursing law. (The agency is accepting public comment through Feb. 22 via this Web site.)

The new nursing law “will require unique solutions that working moms and employers need to find solutions for,” Leppink explained. “In order for our guidelines to be effective for both working moms and employers, we need to get as many perspectives as possible. We really need to hear from working moms, working dads, and employers, about what challenges this new law presents and how to overcome those challenges.” 

Working moms are in a unique position. They can now have input in molding one of the biggest work-life initiatives since the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, instead of just accepting what employers design for them.
