This is a clip from a Hindi radio program called Vivechana.

Listeners ought not to expect FM fidelity from this clip because it is recorded from short-wave.

The recording meets the bottom-line criterion of comprehensibility and that should be enough.

Vivechana is a Friday feture on BBC-Hindi.

Manikant Thakur is one of ace reporters BBC-H has in its 'stable.

The clip speaks of the way education is handled in one of India's poorest states.

It speaks of embedded incompetence and corruption in the system that, if it were not tragic, would be hilarious to the point that "Yes, Minister" can't hold a candle to it.
