Prabhakar ji the three wonderful stories talk of individual social responsibility (ISR ). While people are shouting from top of their voice about CSR no one mentions ISR.
Invigilation is part of the duty and why shouldn't they attend to it. Reforming the whole education in the light of ASER report and other findings is a different ball game altogether.
May be worth looking at Finland where education in general and teachers in particular played a pivotal role in the country's movement forward.

-- Let me present three short stories:
1. In UK, a practice found long ago, a pile of news papers is placed at some places in a square with no salesmen. The citizens used to approach a certain place, picked a copy of the newspaper, put the sales price in a box placed nearby. Sometimes late AN, the salesmen used to go and collect the amount in the box that is found to be exactly the total price of newspapers sold out.
2. Vinobaji Bhave was in Varanasi for his education for about two years. Once he purchased a lock on payment of Rs 6. After sometimes he purchased the same type of lock that he had earlier, but this time the shopkeeper charged him Rs 4. While returning, he thought the owner has charged Rs 2 less by mistake. He went back to shop owner and insisted him to take Rs 2 charged less.
3. Once upon a time, a king ordered his Praja to pour a small bucketful of milk in a tank built at the centre of the city. Next day the tank was full of water for individually every one thought, if I put one bucketful of water, the king could not suspect.
The suggestion "This invigilation thing should go" is a wonderful solution to eliminate/curb out/ease out the present state of affairs found in the exams. conducted. But then what is the alternative mechanism? A few questions that popped out:
Whether invigilation is a part of duties of a teacher?
Whether teacher is the only assessor of his/her students?
Should we stop taking exams?
If exams are cancelled, what is the alternative means for assessing students' worth?
Shall we go for open book exams.?
Shall we once again institute the earlier practice of "your answer-books (paper) will be valued as a whole"?

The teachers have been asked to explain as to why action should not be initiated against them. They have been given three days time to file reply.Prof Farooqi said, "This is highly unwanted of a teaching faculty and hence a notice has been issued against them".The COE, said, "A show cause notice has been issued as these teachers failed to perform their assigned duty. The matter will be referred to the Executive Council (EC) which will decide the future course of action."Reportedly, during an inspection of ongoing final examination in Sanskrit department Prof NR Farooqi found four teachers of Ancient Indian History department had skipped the invigilation duty.
