Notes on the Academy (NotA)

Knowledge Economy is when Class 8 students take 'multiple exit options' to pursue vocational learning as per 'local skill requirements' instead of dropping out. Nai ka beta nai, kasai ka kasai but during Fourth Industrial Revolution 💥🎉🫂

Com. Nodeep from Mazdoor Adhikar Sangathan @nodeep769 highlights how only the organisation of the working class can force mass movements into a revolutionary direction. Farm Laws, Labour Codes, NEP2020, Operation Samadhan are a combined attack by corporates on Indian people.

Com. Darshan Pal, SKM spokesperson from BKU Krantikari, declares that before 2024 elections, more student-youth must come join the Kisan Andolan to defeat fascist RSS BJP. Fascism can only be defeated on streets by the toiling majority based on a People's Charter of Demands.

@khanumarfa says covering #KisanAndolan & anti-CAA movement were the most meaningful parts of her career. That farmers confidently discussed national policies, foreign policy & spoke openly against their enemies in Ambani-Adani Raj—this is what is reviving equal citizenship.

Com. Paramjit from ZPSC says Dalit landless women are fiercely fighting for panchayati land, against microfinance & better wages. Sanjha Morcha of united farmworkers unions was formed, inspired by SKM's success. But the issue of caste, patriarchy and land must be fought face on!

Com. Pavel (Editor, Surkh Leeh) reflects on how farmers unions decisively united against WTO - IMF. He believes that it advanced the history of post-47 land struggles and post-80s big farmer agitations, creating a new basis for revolutionary anti-imperialist worker-farmer unity.

Com. Rajinder from Kirti Kisan Union highlighted that repealing the 3 Farm Laws will not solve India's agrarian crisis. He argues that Punjab's wheat/paddy monoculture model has been devastating farmers post Green Revolution. An ecological alternative must be won by struggle.

Young comrades from Krantikari Naujavan Sabha, #Gurgaon protest outside District Education Department today. They remind officials the unfulfilled promises of #RightToEducation, linking issues of teacher's vacancies and Covid-19 education loss. #RTE #CommonSchool #RejectNEP2020
