CONGRATULATIONS ISRO AND THE COUNTRYMEN
Hats-off to our space scientists for achieving the unachievable.
The quality of head of our space scientists has made it possible to land on the
south pole of the moon. India has become the first country to achieve this
feat. They have done us proud. Heartiest congratulations to all the countrymen
and the humans on the globe.
GROSS EXPLOITATION OF ACADEMIC AUTONOMY, SERIOUSLY IMPACTING THE NATION
It has been observed that many faculty members are teaching hardcore engineering subjects without practical content. In some institutions faculty has gone to the extent of deciding the course content to suit their personal convenience at the expense of the student’s career and reputation of the institution. This is one of the main reasons for students not getting attracted to attending classes and not getting suitable employment.
All hardcore engineering courses must have a minimum of 3-0-2 credit structure. Autonomy doesn’t mean that faculty can be given freedom to murder an engineering programme by imparting incomplete knowledge to the students.
Seriously affected areas are: Defence, Aero-space, Ship and Submarine building, Automotive Power Plants, Nuclear Power, Transportation, Rail transport etc. Insufficient quantum of teaching (Theory + Practical) can’t help either the students or the nation.
Unscrupulous faculty who are treating teaching profession as an employment are responsible for the launch of ‘Make in India’ programme.
Consciously awakened heads of the institutions are sincerely requested to at least decide the credit structure for various hardcore engineering courses instead of leaving it at the discretion of the irresponsible faculty. Such unscrupulous faculty members are collecting full pay packets and many other benefits for cheating the system.
Can any institution afford such faculty members on their pay rolls? Can an institution afford to destroy its own future and the career of the students?
It is high time the concerned faculty rose to
the occasion.
A
VIEWPOINT ON UNEMPLOYABLE ENGINEERS AND UNEMPLOYABILITY
Healthy / strong
manufacturing sector can only help in better fiscal policies. Low skilled /
unskilled engineers can’t sustain a healthy manufacturing sector. This simplest
equation is going beyond the comprehension of the policy makers. Beating around
the bush can never give desired output. We will have to find real reasons for
the universities producing unemployable engineers. Any effort other than this will
continue to bring disaster.
Classroom to classroom teachers / faculty are designing engineering curriculum by sitting in the airconditioned AICTE offices and this is the reason that our universities are churning out unemployable engineers. Being a Mechanical Engineer, I have studied the curriculum for mechanical engineering and I feel pity for our youth and the country. Unfortunately, we have come too far and corrective action may not be possible now. Therefore, keep offering more and more opportunities to ‘make in India’.
‘East India Company’ came on its own and we could ask them to go back but now we are inviting them with a red-carpet welcome. Will we have any authority to ask them to go back? Will there be a possibility for our engineers to work with dignity? Low skilled engineers are produced for serving multi-Nationals.
Minimum monthly dole / allowance can be given only when the country has healthy and vibrant manufacturing sector. Let us be committed to the Nation and build a better future for our next generation.
MEANING OF MAHA GATHBANDHAN IN INDIA
What is the meaning of “Maha Gathbandhan”? If all opposition parties are Honest, sincere, and committed to the cause of people and the country, then they should UNITE and become one.
But this will never happen because politics in India, for the majority of politicians, is: ‘for the family & self’, ‘by the family & self’, ‘of the family & self’.
“Maha Gathbandhan” means let us join and enjoy the benefits together. Nothing is beyond this. Political parties having guts to vouch for the formation of the ‘Maha Gathbandhan’ is an insult of the highest order to the people of this Nation.
I challenge all the opposition parties trying to form an alliance or ‘Maha Gathbandhan’ to merge and form a common opposition if they are really honest, sincere, and committed to the cause of people and the country. Let them prove to us by releasing a Single Manifesto in the name of a single united political party, failing which I appeal to all the countrymen in their trap in the name of religion, caste, language to Shut the Door on their Faces immediately.
If they themselves can’t be united then what is the meaning of Maha Gathbandhan? Jago mere pyare deshwasiyon jago.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION VICTIM OF PSEUDO-INTELLECTUALISM
Technical Education is the victim of Superiority Complex, Pseudo-Intellectualism, Total detachability from the Indian Industries requirements, Teaching mostly using the foreign material, Curriculum designed for continuance of the livelihood rather than brainstorming to produce employable industry ready engineers.
The realistic and productive curriculum can be designed only when custodians keep away the Pseudo-intellectuals and Nepotism.
HOW THE JOBS ARE CREATED: DO POLITICAL LEADERS KNOW?
क्या कोई भी किसी भी राजनितिक पार्टी का मंत्री या नेता यह बताने का प्रयास करेगा की आप लोग जनता से लाखों की तादात में नौकरियां देने का वायदा कैसे करलेते हैं? क्या उनको या आपको पता है की नौकरियां कैसे पैदा होती हैं और कौन जिम्मेदार है?
मैं जनता को यह बताना चाहता हूँ की यह सब जनता की मजबूरी का फायदा उठा कर केवल आपका वोट लेने के लिये आपकी भावनाओं से खिलवाड़ करते हैं। आज से कसम खाईये की जो भी नेता नौकरी का वायदा करे तो आप उसको वोट नहीं करेंगे। यह सब जनता को मूर्ख बनाते हैं और अपना काम निकालते हैं।
यह नेता केवल इसलिये कामयाब होते हैं की जनता भी काम लालची नहीं होती। जनता को भी लगता है की नौकरियां इन नेताओं की जेब में रखी होती हैं और जब चाहो तब ले लो। जागो मेरे देशवासिओं जागो, ऐसे नेताओं को अगले चुनावों में अच्छी तरह से धूल चटाओ।
Will any minister or leader of any political party tell us how they promise people to give jobs in lakhs? Do they or you know how jobs are created and who is responsible?
I want to tell the public that by taking advantage of the compulsion of the public, they play with your sentiments only to get your vote. Take an oath from today that you will not vote for any leader who promises a job. All these fool the public and get their job done.
These leaders are successful only because the people are no less greedy. People also feel that jobs are kept in the pockets of these leaders and the people can take whenever they want. Wake up my countrymen, dump all such leaders in the next elections. Ensure that all such leaders lick the dust.
TEACHING PROFESSIONALS (GURUS) VS TEACHING
EMPLOYEES
There
is a serious scarcity of ‘Teaching Professionals (Gurus)’ and the ‘Teaching
Employees’ are in abundance. Termites endanger the integrity of a structure,
and if left untreated, the level of destruction will only increase. The
teaching employees are weakening the nation, a rise in their numbers is
directly proportional to spiraling academic degradation.

POLICIES ON PAPER ARE TANGENTIAL TO THE POLICIES IN PRACTICE: PLIGHT OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Our custodians are expert planners in making the excellent policies and roadmaps for a crop of quality higher education but there is hardly an effort to identify the good quality seed, farmer and necessary infrastructure for irrigation and organic manure to result in a higher yielding quality crop. Until this is addressed, there can’t be any meaningful output.
There are many Government / Private institutions in the country which are doing gross injustice to their students and consequently to the Nation. Insufficient classrooms, insufficient Laboratories, serious shortage of teaching professionals (Gurus)*, No Technical staff, no Workshop practicals, no engineering drawing halls.
It is very unfortunate that taxpayers' precious hard-earned money is simply going to waste. Is there any way, the custodians can make public the Utilization Factor for the tax-payer’s money spent in the name of higher education? Most unfortunate for the Nation is that the Policies on paper are opposite to the Policies followed in practice.
* Unfortunately institutions are hiring “Teaching Employees'' and not the "Teaching Professionals (GURUS)" because they fail to differentiate between these two terms.
"SEEKING ADMISSION TO ENGINEERING? IT’S TIME TO CHECK"
What do the parents look into while selecting a college of engineering for their daughters and sons?
Any irresponsible decision creates a problem of unemployability, frustration and at times leading to IRREPARABLE loss to the family.
All the parents are sincerely requested to concentrate only on the last point (6). Government or Private is not that important. Kindly ensure that you don’t become the destroyer of the bright careers of your children to which most parents and their ‘paper degree holding’ engineering (in fact non-engineering) daughters and sons won’t agree but start abusing the Government for everything that is going wrong.
There are many Government / Private institutions in the country which are doing gross injustice to their students and consequently to the Nation. Insufficient classrooms, insufficient Laboratories, serious shortage of teaching professionals, No Technical staff, no Workshop practicals, no engineering drawing halls.
The prospective students and the parents may check the placement records, talk to the senior students, quality & sincerity of the faculty, accreditation of the institution and internship plans before seeking admission.
Make sure that your precious daughter / son doesn’t become a bonafide student of any such Private / Government institutions.
WAYS TO ELIMINATE VOTE BANK POLITICS AND STRENGTHEN DEMOCRACY
Vote bank politics is causing destruction of the Nation. Parliamentarians, judiciary and the Election Commission are requested to devise a foolproof system of election where such destructive politics is not allowed. Things have already started going beyond control. Religion, Caste, Region, Freebies based electioneering just can’t be ALLOWED. Dirty mind politics and politicians can’t be allowed in any Democracy. All such politicians who try to exploit the masses must be banned for life. Anybody issuing dictate to a group of people en masse, must be sent for rigorous imprisonment for vitiating the atmosphere. The person(s) may be booked for sedition.
The election Commission may consider carrying out exhaustive eligibility test to ensure that only the worthy people become parliamentarians. The suggestive topics may be:
Pre-condition for contesting elections:
It’s time to act tough for the sake of the Nation.
