Education
System in India
Our system has become more a business model.
Though it may not be true for all the institutions but majority of private
institution are promoting a type of education. They are focusing more on their
pockets rather than the students. As we all know that as child enters grade 11th
and takes up Science as the preferred stream, then the pressure on him / her
starts mounting up. Parents get extra caution regarding their child’s education
and they hunt for the best coaching centres to supplement the studies going on
in school. This is done, as every parent carry a vision of seeing their child
in the best engineering or medical college, with best coaching centres because they think that without coaching
centres their child’s future is in dark which is not true at all. As in earlier
years, when there were no coaching centres but there were still students
becoming engineers, doctors etc. and they were good enough. As many of the
coaching centres are not even having qualified teachers also. The system of
Indian Higher Education system is not paying much attention towards fundamental
research which is more important for countries development. These institutes
are just degree producing mills as they only produce a graduate rather
producing an intellectual. Our system of education is such that we just look at
the marks secured in the exams but do not encourage our students to think
independently and to be innovative. In many institutes like engineering
colleges the fees is sky high, which is not affordable by the poor students who
are having the ability to gain something in their life.
So the government should ban all such institutes and should make a
regulatory plan so the jobs are only provided to deserving students. - Prachi Agarwal (Class XI)
Eve-Teasing
We are living in the 21st century
and we call it a century of women or women age. When we are talking about
women’s empowerment there exist many factors that try to suppress their
freedom. Eve teasing is one of the biggest social problems it’s a type of
mental harassment. Eve teasing signifies eve [women] tempts or provokes males
for vulgar comments and behaviour. Eve teasing is embarrassing and exploitative
behaviour towards women which shows the aggressive forms of expressions. The
expressions being socially ill-mannered and unacceptable which hurt the
feelings and sentiments of a woman. India may be was or is a golden bird but
only in books, lets open the door of reality. Well India is in its dark ages.
In fact dark ages were much better than this age, at least they were not
shameful and greedy unlike today. The
situation of women in India is not at all in any way BETTER.
A look at a newspaper shows you so many incidents against women. A large percentage of women have faced and are facing this problem everyday whether it is a public transport, public places, shopping malls, multiplexes, everywhere women finds themselves vulnerable to the threat of eve teasing. A lewd stare, a sly whistle, a lingering look at a vulnerable time, passing vulgar comments, cheap gestures, and bikes flying close with hands stretched to grope you, all these are the examples of eve teasing. The ways an Eve Teaser can harass a women is surly endless. This is the harsh reality of India. Eve teasing is a complex problem and it requires more attention than what it has actually got. The severe impact of eve teasing is taking away the lives of many young girls in India. Eve teasing in India has to do with women empowerment and girls education. What’s the point of educating if people are not even willing to respect women? The traditional mindset often blames the eve teasing incident on women that they provoke males by wearing scanty clothes even if females wear modern dresses, it does not give men license to harass women. The answer lies in changing the mindset and inculcating morals and values in our education system. The future is waiting to be made better, all we have to do is to refuse to shut our eyes when we witness an incident of eve teasing. - Sharddha Kansara (Class XI)

Attitudinal Change in Society
The present world, in which we live,
is what it is because of certain systems – social, political, economic,
religious and others – all these woven together into a complex structure,
called society. These systems are built on certain attitudes and values which
various nations, communities or groups of people have acquired over a period of
time. These attitudes are based on the ideas, ideologies or beliefs which
people have acquired, over a period of time, from others or have learnt by
first hand experience.
Thus, if we want to build a better
world, there is no way to it except through attitudinal change or shift and
which cannot take place unless certain age-old beliefs which people have
acquired over a period of time and which are working as the matrix for their attitudes,
relationship and behaviour are changed. People have to be given a better ideal
which inspires them to have higher values and nobler behaviour. The present age
of turmoil is because our society has no such ideal which should give it
momentum for better relationship and behaviour. Therefore the improvement in the
self, the betterment of our relationships and the spirit of service of others
which are sought to be brought are only parts of the Attitudinal Change, which is our main object. In order to
bring about Attitudinal Change, we have to give to the society a new convincing
and inspiring ideal and also the ideology necessary to achieve that goals and
ideal.
Family is the unit of the society, the micro world, the first school, where everyone gets educated. So, in order to bring about a Better World, let us inspire people to make a better family. There is no real love among family members and so there is no real love in man’s relationships with others. A man who is dissatisfied at home and finds tension there would spread dissatisfaction and tension outside his home into the wide world. Parents do not give love to their children and the children do not give respect to their parents and elders. So, let man first improve his family relationships. “Charity begins from home”. This improvement in relationships and change in behaviour and attitudes is brought about by education. It is education that gives the concept of the world as a family. - Mr. Harish Agarwal
