Discrepancy

All Indian nurture a dream of success in life. Indians generally choose education as their career. Indians have proven themselves to be good managers, teachers, businessman, management gurus etc....the list is exhaustive to be very honest. We all take them as our followers and most of us prepare for GRE, TOEFEL and all such test and then we again prove our worth in the USA and Europe and etc by studying that xtra 1 yr to bridge the gap between their and our duration of education. We have been doing that succesfully. Pretty cool and commendable.........
Now what is the procedure if any international student wish to join Indian insti??????????? Do we hv any test or guidelines (except the regular one like reco and photocopy of the degree certificates) for accepting the foreign students. I believe every engg and mgmt school continues to hv that NRI quota even today(yup....bit under the carpet business though)............

My question is that r we that bad that we will hv to prove our mettle at every stage while any foreign student can just walk into the Indian educationn scenario.......

I do believe that there is a gap in duration between there education tenure and ours........but why I will be forced to loose a year even after qualifying in an international level xam?????

None of our degree awarded in India r treated valid in other countries while we continue to accept any body with a degree which is International.......why this discrepancy????

Is it not shameful that we r actually disregarding our education system when we appear for GRE..........and Indian phd is not valid in USA/Europe while the reverse is valid in India.

I think time has come when we should demand an uniform system which will monitor the admission of Indian students based  on the level of qualification of the student and most importantly his/her degree achieved in India has to be recognised. This is a tough job and needs diplomatic acumen to establish the system.

India should also put in place a stringent system monitoring the entry of foreign universities/educational centers in India.

EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY

The higher educatio scenario in India is quite impressive wid IIT (new ones hv been announced), IIMs, ISM and the age old universities which have been churning out educated people. But there seems to a big gap that exists between the insti and the companies. most of the young professionals complain bt the lack of technical knowhow and upgradation in the industry. The private sector is better tha the PSU and Govt organizations in implementation of tech and r open to accept the changes and hv some kind of realtion wid the insti.
Still we r still far behind the global standard in nurturing a academic-industry realtionship. This will be beneficial for both sides as the industry can get their tailor-made solution from the young and energetic mind guided by experienced teachers. The insti in turn can generate revenue and most importantly work for them which will act as catalyst for pursuing excellence.
Insti like MIT, Cambridge brings out patents every 2nd day but how many patents or innovations suited for the Indian society have come out of IITs or IIMs or any insti in India????
But India is biggest supplier of the best trained manpower in the world. just imagine if that work force would hv been working in India???????
We follow a pretty archiac and bureaucratic style of functioning gifted to us by Britain after Independence and quite foolishly carried forward by Nehru. Thanks to rajiv Gandhi & Dr Manmohan singh for ushering India into a open world. It was common apprehension that India would fare very badly at the open market but the result has been very promising.
With the kind of Competence and intelligence that is available in India it is possible to be a centre of Educational excellence.
This cannot be achieved in isolation as all sectors have to be behave like a team to achieve the desried result.
Industry insti interface at higher education sector is the need of the hour and foreign investment can also be allowed bound by strict rules and regulations. We must increase our standard by keeping in view the national interest.
The primary education sector must be completely overhauled and reorganised. we will need something better than "Operation Blackboard" to revamp the primary education sector. The same suggestion was proposed by the nobel laureate Dr Amartya Sen to Govt of West bengal which was instantly declined by The Leftist govt of Bengal. But if Dr Sens idea is quite logical and should be implemented. Its a pity that all the planning commissions and the target has not given much emphasis to the sector apart from some slogans and initiative like Mid day meal (a failure) Sarba Siksha Abhijan (lacks infrastructure and planning) Operation Blackboard(just on board). A tree cannot grow tall if the roots are weak.
We need to form cooperation at each level to achieve tha goal.

India after 60 yrs of Independence

India is 60 yrs old, boasting of the largest democracy the 2nd largest populous nation, the country with max no of language and festival. We all r proud to promote the principle of "UNITY IN DIVERSITY".
But quite amazingly we are still lacking in the basic infrastructure and proper health and education facilities. The Indian villages have remained in state of underdeveloped sites which are used by the politicians to milk the votes (including Rahul gandhi). The exodus from village to cities creates problem of accommodation and facilities. U cnt go on pouring milk in glass, it will overflow beyond its capacity. the time has come to convert the villages into developed living place by planning and providing the infrastructure which will automatically generate employment and will be instrumental in the growth of the country.
We all have to work towards the plan. plz awake and make India the true Superpower.
