The rooms are bright and clean, quiet as Dr. Sujata takes care of a patient reclining in the chair at her Dayspring Dental Clinic. She works steadily, taking the time to give her undivided attention to the person in front of her. She doesn’t rush, instead working steadily to provide the first-class treatment her reputation has been built upon.

Primary education is base of personal-social and cultural ethos along with economic booms. Who can deny this fact? Even though the emerging scenario of P-Education is not inspiring. Cocking a snook at the tall claims of the Centre and UP Government regarding promotion of education, the ramshackle condition of building of Basic Shiksha Parishad schools which sans the basic facilities speak volumes for the double standard residing in power.
