1.2 billion of population , 1/6th of total world population , home to many of the initial education model & universities , but still we have such a less no of Nobel prize to our credit .Even if somebody gets , they are found to be working outside the country . what is the reason? Or do it concern our overall development .why?
Is our education system adequate enough to reach our 2020 vision of a developed nation ? Are we justifying our so called largest youth population of the world ? No , the damn transparent no . Indian education has got itself packed within the text books hampering the growth of creative minds and hence the development of the country. In 64th year of our independence , we still lack in practical application of the education .The education curriculum doesn’t allow the budding youth to enter into the world of invention and creation .We still rely in reverse engineering , rather than focusing on research and development .Our corporate giants are still dependent on the foreign technologies , be it maruti Suzuki or hero Honda nearly all of them.
Its not that Indian student population isn't interested in creation and invention . Instead we aren't having that sort of facility and motivation .Person who wants to go in research field isn’t facilitated enough to continue with his ideas . The government announces crores of scholarship for the research works , but it doesn’t tries enough to make it reachable . We lack good institutions . Also there is a huge gap of quality education between the top institution and that of the others. Today , the sole motto of education has become to complete the course , have the degree and get a good job with handsome salary . This temperament of the education system has created a huge gap between the demand and actual numbers of the teachers available .This is not only the case of teacher, there is good difference in the number of seat available and the no of deserving applicants . In desperate attempt government is opening numbers of institutions , but again we lack the quality teachers . Still our 35% of the population are out of reach of education . If we consider education proportional to the development , this means their is the nil % of development from this part of the country.
The system needs certain reformation, the curriculum are needed to be made research oriented and practical application are required to be introduced .The syllabus should undergo regular peroidic revision .The status of the various institutions should have a frequent accredition checks & stricts actions should be made against the case of voilation of the rules. Independent & efficient commitee need to be in their to look after such matters . The encouragement of research & development should be made at the national level. The government should ask the corporate sector to look after the scenario and extend their hand for the country’s honour .more and more research and development centres should be established . we need a change and we should start with primary stage and within ourselves...
