Education that is more required in India

Education in India has a huge business unexploited and unexplored territory.

India is the happening country. Please do look at it especially offering a science based, skill set developing, [which incidentally the present government of India is also promoting] practical training and experiment oriented coupled with hands on experience acquiring primary education with emphasis on technology, all sciences starting from environmental sciences to health care to particle physics to chemical applications to automobile and drone manufacturing, designs, economic governance etc preferably between the ages of 14 to 17.

Many Indian kids are interested in and are also capable of shining in such areas.

Perhaps the trade of that may be  required is some sort of financial incentive or job security which most of these children coming from middle class families in India prioritize. That's why India churns out lot of employees/employable and salaried class.

So, some of these courses can be made as an integral part of some industrial or manufacturing or production industry. I can assure this can be an excellent business model as well as a socially contributory model.

In the early 80s NIIT started computer education and it has not only scaled great heights, made huge business but also supplied lot of staff for many companies across the globe.

PhD and Higher education in India -the pathetic facts

                               Ph.D s and Higher Education in India

Ph.D in India in most streams [except in some pure science and mathematics] why even post graduations and MBAs [except in Finance] are absolutely useless and irrelevant by any standards.

The whole methodology,[not substance because in many cases there isn't any] of research is pathetic and outdated.

How else and in which country on earth where specialization and updating of knowledge and information ,if not skill sets is going at such a pace and with such enormous intricacies that soon the medical fraternity may have a group specialists for left nostril and another for right nostril.

Only in India, I would refrain from naming individuals though I have all details of such individuals, if you do a Ph.D on any former political leader when that particular party comes to power you can be made a vice chancellor,a person who does his IAS in Oriya or Tamil literature is made a collector of a place.

Only in India if you are recruited for stenography and found inefficient or served your bosses well can become a director in Govt organization or in some cases even decide who has to be made the president of the nation.

If you are recruited for marketing activities and found inefficient and by pulling the correct strings and greasing the correct palms can be made as a manager and eventually a director.

Because we are not sure as to why we get ourselves educated and therefore are not naturally bothered about what is getting imparted in the name of education.

I have conducted many small experiments with students at several levels starting from 7 year old kids to 60 year old diplomats, legal experts, artists, auditors, teachers, principals, engineers, doctors, mutt swamijis etc and most of them ,of course there are exceptions in all categories , seem to be engaged in different activities as mere rituals rather than activities with contextually relevant importance, even if the context is bad in the larger interest.

There is no conviction and therefore no intense involvement. That's why sports persons, business promoters and politicians succeed because they perform for results staking lot of things in their life.
