The very predictable factor that once became a vital force for the stagnation and deterioration of India’s educational dreams, was the rising canker of corruption that mounts upon her. The can of worms has opened and crawled up to the sector, eating up the moral fabrics and integrity of the nation. Education is a unified task force that has the power to bring about change and educating the mind is the cultivation and progress of mankind.
Schools, colleges, exams are all the impactful areas, where one can identify the progress of human life and the knowledge system of India. The supreme court has made its own decision and hearing within the boundaries of the case. Whatever be the final decision, it will be the final as such, and are binding on all. The government of India has made its declaration and the UG Neet entrance exam and Ugc net is today’s vulnerable and crisis of scholarship. The education of India has sunk deep into the waters of shady dark business interest. It is a crime and moreover a crime against the dreams and ambitions.
India is facing and going through her darkest evening, the morale is being strongly challenged and opposition to it’s the need of the hour. Tracing back, I remind, we had so many educational systems and cultures, rising from Vedic, the British model of education as devised by Lord Macaulay and the university commissions of post- independent India. Memories of ancient Taxila, Nalanda are still alive and fresh, it brings a sense of worth and proud for every Indian to be an Indian. The misery and ruins of today is visible and the black mark on our ancient culture and civilization too.
Today, our education need, more of a refinement than staging exams consecutively. Conducting an exam to entry into some of the finest technical and medical intuitions is an absolute hallmark and is only a reflection of what you know. India is rich in her tradition and legacy, as the learning began beneath the banyan tree reminds of the glow and fire that was infused into human dignity. Education and academia is polluted like kalapani and it requires purification or as Swami Dayanand Sarawati once proclaimed Shuddhi movement, to wash off the social ills and evils.
Education is the tool for social progress, transformation and cultivation of mind is the ultimate goal, as late former President Dr. S Radhakrishanan told us. We are the true torchbearers of that destiny of India’s and moreover India needs a more policy to tackle the alarming issue of educational failure.
