His next class act

In his first innings as a politician, Dr Manmohan Singh liberated our economy. In his second, as prime minister, he brought about a paradigm shift in not only our foreign policy, but also our entire worldview.

One of the best written article on education in Indian pressBy: Amit Yadav | Wednesday , 3 Jun '09 0:49:44 AM Reply | Forward Political biase apart, you hit the nail right on head. India need experts and make sure these experts remain in India too. I would also like to add, we need quality education with quantity. Researcher and Engineers are fuel for economic growth. With Quality education, we can produce engineer and researcher who can do their own product development. We will be able to build our own better iPOD, better Car, better new technologies, which will fuel our economy.World biggest companies will come to India to set their R
Only increasing seats wouldn't help.....By: Kishor Sharma | Tuesday , 2 Jun '09 16:44:44 PM Reply | Forward As mentioned, that IIT has increased its seats tally to 8000 but i would like to remind that only seats have increased and not the infrastructure to serve them. New students are still accommodated in old IITs which is in turn deteriorating quality.Even UGC also, just in the bid to increase seats in educational institutes, has blindly started awarding deemed university status to every other college, with Tamilnadu topping the charts most of them family run, and has just become a lucrative business with high ROI). I believe, need of the hour is to form a strong, dedicated and focused authority that can judge and evaluate and then only approve the colleges to grow to such level.Wish the government looks at the situation seriously and will take some strong steps (and not the populist ones) to prevent our upcoming demographic trends from becoming curse for us
His Next ActionBy: Tsering | Tuesday , 2 Jun '09 10:08:28 AM Reply | Forward You are right. But first thing to do is to get rid of any Surnames. India can not achieve anything while still maintaining the Varana system. Make it a rule that nobody can get into schools, colleges or get a government job with his Surname intact. This way the social discrimination can be minimised.
Nice articleBy: Amit the cosmic chihuahua | Sunday , 31 May '09 11:59:51 AM Reply | Forward Nice article... hope the government takes notice.
Higher education can wait, let's take care of the primary education first!By: Kumar | Sunday , 31 May '09 11:27:08 AM Reply | Forward It's surprising how our educated elites (editors of popular newspapers....) keep on harping about improving higher education when half of India's children can't even complete primary education. Let's take care of our primary
Comparing Mr Gupta with Mr Shourie would be like comparing Mahatma Gandhi with the liar AdvaniBy: DR.PETROL PUMP CHOR | Sunday , 31 May '09 3:11:34 AM Reply | Forward Comparing Mr Gupta with Mr Shourie would be like comparing Mahatma Gandhi with the liar Advani.Shourie played the role of an honest person, and he had all oppertunities to play this role when the BJP came to power, but he took no notice of the criminal activities in which petrol pump and many other scams took place.He did not do anything when religious and moral police was roaming the streets.Shourie is known for writing 5-6-page aritcles with zig-zaging factors and the reader normally fall asleep, he is simply too boring and he has long hair in his nose.
HALF FACT HALF FICTIONBy: Ravindra | Sunday , 31 May '09 2:03:02 AM Reply | Forward Well is could be expected from an editor to be fair and objective,,, but alas Mr GUPTA is no Mr SHOURIE.. So sir lemme remind you that opening to west started durin the tenure of MR Rajeev gandhi, speeded durin the tenure of Mr Rao, and was cemented and strengthened during Mr Vajapaye's tenure. Also i would like to ask Mr Gupta.. that are our officers in PSU and Armed forces really get 'exaggereted wages' as he has said.. I will ask him to kindly compare his wages and perks to one from PSU.. Sir atleast there are vacancies which are advertised in PSU'S, but how come i have never seen any vanacy advertised for a journalist in your esteemed new papper,, and still people get recruted...And you talk about fairness. Last but not least i do agree with your suggestion for qauality education.. Really good point.. But before talking about higher education.. please think and follow the status of primary education in our contry.. Could hav written more but for the space..
Education to every child should be made compulsory.By: DR.PETROL PUMP CHOR | Sunday , 31 May '09 1:53:31 AM Reply | Forward If we really have to take our country forward, then compulsory education upto the level of gradutation should be provided to every child from any religion or caste. This move will not only give better future for the upcoming generations, but this move will also take India to modern and better times.Education will also mean less criminality.
no neo-liberal and Brahmanical recommendations of knowledge commission in educationBy: naqueeb ahmad | Saturday , 30 May '09 22:53:56 PM Reply | Forward this article is predestined to advocate the commercialize the education and sideline the very poor masses of India.and dear Shekhar Gupta forgot the importance of social sciences and its interdependence with science and scientific revolutions.the knowledge commission is creating another Frankenstein in Indian education system.where caste will be ignored to benefit a section of people.dear 'gupta' please have a look on the election results of lok sabha.u will find that the poor have voted for congress and the elite class is deciding the factors.NAREGA,VANVASI BILL,RTI,SACHHAR COMMITTE REPORT,OBC RESERVATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION has worked .so my dear "gupta ji'plz understand the need of social functionalism and significance of social values .if u cant understand then please enroll in jnu(ur center of criticism) for further enlightenment on such issues.then u will understand the true notion of democracy,equality and liberty.
