Today education has become an important part of everybody's life. It is must in today's environment.
For
- Education a business due to increase in more schools and institutes which are opened to provide education.
- The privatization of educational institutes also helped it to become from educational institutes to a business.
- The standard and quality of the education decreased due to more institutes and lack of quality teachers.
- Teachers started concentrating only on those who understand things by themselves and others are left alone.
Against
- Institutes like IITs and IIMs are providing good education to make better future of the students.
- Due to new technologies and globalisation the growth of education industry is growing.
- Education is been given and taken more seriously nowadays due to high competition in educational area.
- Teachers and students are trying their level best to get updated all the time and both are trying to provide quality
work so that the education system can produce good talent.
- Education system has developed more and more than the previous times and it is one of the leading systems in
the world.
- Education is very important to grow and helps the country grow too. It allows a human being to understand and
live with challenges and produce good results. But nowadays it has become a business due to globalization and
privatization of institutes.
Today the education which is being provided by the institutes or universities are not of that standard which it used
to be. Now a days, education industries main motif is only to earn profit.
The education system in India is much more improved these days and is one of the leading ones
in the world. It is also one of the biggest contributors to the economic growth of the nation.
Besides various government initiatives, the role of the private institutions in the development of
education industry in India cannot be denied. India's private education market was worth $40
billion in 2008, which is expected to reach $68 billion by the year 2012.
However, there are also some glooming statistics as well. Despite such rising investment in
education industry, 40% of country's population is still illiterate. Only 15% of the students can go
to next level to reach high school.

Prominent Institutions
There are a number of Indian universities/colleges/institutions that have crafted its name in the
world of education through its quality of education and infrastructure. Many of those have won
awards
i agree to the statement. Education is now considered as a buisness more than serving knowledge to the
students. if we talk about secondary education, we see a healthy competition between different boards
eg. CBSE or ICSE boards, their main focus is on to have more number of students passed with high
grades and therefore they are reducing the tough subjects from their syllabus. next after schooling as
students are concentrating more on engg. colleges as it is the fastest growing and most favourable field
in India, a large no. of engg. colleges are opened with good infrastructure but with huge fees, their main
motive is to earn profit. we can see many advertisements in TV, Newspapers, Radio and even coaching
institutes they are tempting students to come into their institute by providing experienced faculties. .
The advancement in the technology has taken education sector to a new level which is E-learning. This is an
improved way of education system.
For
- E-learning sources provide best study materials which is very helpful for the students knowledge building
process.
- This process of education makes life easier for students.
- Students dont have to remember every thing or dont have to take notes of every important point as they have
every thing on net through E-learning source.
- It reduces the travel time and associated cost in the process of learning.
- E-learning gives flexibility to students with respect to time and place.
- More knowledge based activities are included in E-learning programs.
- Students get an option to see the things they don't undertand in one go again.
Against
- E-learning has made students lazy as they dont put in as much efforts as compared to students who were used
to before this e-learning evolution.
- Students dont attend their important lectures as they have E-learning resource available 24*7.
- Now they dont have to work hard to make notes and prepare for exams.
- Students have started depending on these E-learning programs.
- It lacks face to face communication which is important for overall development of the student.
- Many villages and remote areas do not have an access to internet or the internet speed there is too slow.
E-learning has its advantages as well as disadvantages. It has made the education system more flexible and
more knowledge based. E-learning techniques clubbed together with face to face interaction with a teacher can
prove to be extremely useful for the students.
Favor (Boon)
Social networks are new meaning of staying in touch with whole world.
The internet a tool that an increasing number of people are choosing to use with great
frequency. Too many of these people forget that the internet is a unrestricted,
unregulated, and uncontrollable grouping of millions of people, their data, their opinions,
and there interests.
Public sharing of private lives has not led to a rethinking of anything. It's just reminded
people to use extreme caution when publicly sharing their private lives. If you wouldn't do
something in front of everyone you know, don't do it on the internet.
Laws should --never-- be extended to allow privacy protection for things that people say
and do in the public domain. Perhaps the greatest part of the internet is the lack of
control, the utter and complete freedom of speech. What is needed is a basic warning from
parents or friends to those who are new to the internet, warning of the possible pitfalls
that can come with such freedom.
Humans are social animals by our nature and social networks are just one other outlet for
humans to interact. We should not look at social networks are threats but as opportunities
for us to interact with people globally. I myself am an active user of social networks and
have made many friends and business contacts online that I would otherwise not have had
the same level of opportunity or interaction.
Against (Ban)
Public sharing of private lives has led to a rethinking of our current conceptions of privacy.
Existing law should be extended to allow some privacy protection for things that people
say and do in what would have previously been considered the public domain.
like other human social interactions which are transient, e.g. talking to friends over lunch,
the Internet keeps a permanent record of what we say to each other. If you are having an
online conversation with your friend(s) then you should be aware that conversation can be
seen by countless others and that a record of that conversation will be kept somewhere on
the Internet. Indeed, now with some social networks introducing geolocation services a
record of where we go and how long we spend there will also be maintained.
There was one incident where robbers using user's geolocation on facebook to find out
when target is at home or not.
People need to be aware of the environment within which they are communicating to
others. If you are discussing things in a public forum then all that information is available
to everyone else in that forum. Therefore hey should take a common sense approach to
what they should and should not discuss. In the real world we only talk about sensitive
issues when we are in private and with people we trust. I think though that when people
are online they can fall into a false sense of security because there are physically in a
secure place using their computer either in their office or their home which results in them
divulging information they should not.
Conclusion
Social network is indeed boon for human race as it is bringing people closer and letting
them communicate with each other without any fear and barriar.But still one nee to
cautious of what level of personal information they are revealing on the social networks.
Hard work always yields fruitful result because its purely a honest way we choose; but
simultaneously to work hard like an ASS is a complete waste so where to be smart and where to
work hard depends on the situation and on US
working without planning - hardwork
working with planning and managing time - smart work
Higher education in India has largely been the preserve of the Government till
recently in terms of both funding and provision of education. But for this to
continue, the Government should continue to be in a position to pour in large sums
of money to fund higher education. Today, the Government is unable to find the
funds even to keep up its own commitment of spending 6% of GDP on education.
There is also a clamour to spend more of what little funding the Government has
allocated for education, on primary education than on higher education, and quite
rightly so, given that many children don't even get a basic primary and secondary
education today. Thus the Government spending on higher education as a
percentage of overall government spending on education is only likely to decrease
further in the coming years.
But the demand for higher education is continuing to increase with more and more
students wanting a higher education today than ever before. How can we bridge the
gap between increasing demand and decreasing government funding for higher
education? The only option is to tap the private sector to participate in the funding
and provision of higher education. The process of increasing private participation
in higher education has already begun with a few states like Chhattisgarh and
Uttaranchal having passed legislation to permit the setting up of private
universities in their states. Indeed the private sector has been funding higher
education in India for a long time, albeit on a very limited scale. The Birla Institute
of Technology and Science at Pilani in Rajasthan, which is funded and run by the
Birla Group Trust, became an officially recognised university as far back as 1964.
Other institutions like the Manipal Group in Manipal in Karnataka have been
running private colleges since 1953 and the Manipal Academy of Higher Education
became a deemed university in 1993. Many other self-financing colleges were set
up in the early 1990s and a few of them have now become deemed universities.
REALITY
Talking about India, India has set a Quality Council in 1997. QCI provides strategic
direction to the quality movement in the country by establishing recognition of India
conformity assessment system at the international level. QCI also has quality quality
inspection bodies for regular quality assessment in any industry.
Quality helps in defining countries economy/GDP and its stature in global map.
Examples GERMANY is known to manufacture its high quality cars which has luxurious
and are one of their type in the world like Mercedes, Porsche, Smart etc.
INDIA is known for its services, which is of highest quality, in service sector industry
which contributes more than 50% in GDP.
Companies like JUST DIAL have grown because of excellent quality of the service they
provide. Whenever we call the helpline of justdial, an operator would attend to your call
in less than 5 seconds which is less than most of the service providers.
JUMBO VADAPAV runs its business on the quality of vadapav they provide for which it
doesnt matter to them if their vadapav is costlier than the one found anywhere else. It
now has 100 centres all over Mumbai and their major success factor is quality of their
product.
In any pharma company in INDIA or abroad quality is something they cannot play with.
They have to maintain the FDA recommended Good Manufacturing Practices even if
they like it or not.
MYTH
But having said all this its not so nice everywhere. Quality remains still a myth at several
places.
China is known to focus on quantity rather than quality. China mobiles in market are
cheaper then you can imagine. Phones with same facilities in other brands are available
at 4-5 times the cost of China mobiles. But the quality of phone and their accountability
is never guaranteed. I mean if you see their sound quality its like the phone is still of
ancient times.
Indian market some products that do lack quality due to following reasons: Cost, Time,
Attitude, Lack of Competition etc. It takes an initial cost to renovate an existing product
to bring in quality and assurance of quality. The 'chalta hai' attitude of some producers is
taking its toll. For example, every year some thousands of farmers are committing
suicides for fake seeds. And government than have to induce huge money like last year
(25,000 crore were infused in agriculture industry as a bailout plan). We seriously lack in
quality fertiliser and irrigation facilities. Many are dying due to food poisoning.
Many buildings are collapsing due to lack of quality in their planning. Example during
Gujarat earthquake of 2001, in a city like Ahmedabad which has 4.6 million population
as many as 50 multi storeyed buildings collapsed, and the main reason being that they
were not constructed in a way where they can resisit an earthquake. For example most
of the buildings there stood only on pillars at their base but if u see in Mumbai most of
the buildings have large walls or some rooms at their parking place and not just pillars
which makes the buildings more resistant to earthquakes.
Drastic differences:
We have a high quality mineralised water (Bisleri) but at so many places there is lack of
portable drinking water.
Our ambulances cannot reach the destination in even an hour but we have pizzas
delivered in less than half an hour.
Our city roads are full of potholes and so called KHADAS and just connecting them would
be express highway that shortens the journey time quite a bit.
Well friends do add in some points which you think are worth discussing in this topic.
I would say I had the toughest time writing this as it is not at all an easy topic to discuss
on. I hope I did justice to the topic.
Quality! A word that says it all about a product. We say, its a good product or a bad
product. So, what is in first case Quality? Why is it directly proportionality with
reliability and good will? Quality according to me is in conformance with some standards
set to make a product more valuable and accountable. In Indian market some products
do lack quality due to following reasons: Cost, Time, Attitude, Lack of Competition etc. It
takes an initial cost to renovate an existing product to bring in quality and assurance of
quality. The 'chalta hai' attitude of some producers is taking its toll. For example, every
year some thousands of farmers are committing suicides for fake seeds. Many are dying
due to food poisoning. Ill built buildings are collapsing due to lack of quality. The quality
is but a Myth in India except for some Industries.
When a person does not adhere to the values, when he do not exercise his true power, authority
and responsibility, when he try to avoid his basic duties.. the other thing which is growing in his
mind is corruption. It may be in the form of money or it may be in the form of barter. It is simply
give and take.
So, we have to forget about our focus only on public sector and its tarnished image with
corruption. Corruption can be attracted by any individual, so dont think from the point of view
People out of fear of being noticed very fast may be less corrupt.
There is a close relation between employees and managers. They both work together in order to
maximize profits in the correct way. Certainly, if there are profits, corruption will be less.
Salaries of people are high as compared to government sector. People are constantly motivated. This
reduces the changes of bribes etc.
Against
Privatization will introduce more risk. More risk means people to save their assets will certainly get into
corruption by any means.
Privatization may lead to monopoly. People are free to make any sort of Adjustments.
Corruption as a matter of fact has got nothing to do with public or private sector. It entirely depends on
the people.
Privatizing a sector is not the solution. People are corrupt in almost all hierarchies.
Corruption in itself is bad and not acceptable from any sector and any form. Biggest examples would be Satyam.
The government should not just take strict action against corruption but also try and speculate over means to
avoid it .
China offers Indian IT firms lower trade barriers, lower taxes and excellent infrastructure. No wonder
Infosys is on the threshold of setting up facilities in Shanghai to tap the Chinese domestic market.
India is not a developed country here literacy ratio is very less so government should
concentrate on make more people literate rather then concentrating on small group of
population
Students from IIT IIM are moving out of India serving other nation's organization that is
really awful
India is democratic country. Democracy can only be successful in only one situation that
everyone should literate that could be achieved by concentrating on primary education
Spending huge amount of money on IIT & IIM is dividing the nation in 2 different
communities one community is not even having primary education where other community
is having higher education
The most of the people going for the IIT IIM are self capable so government should make
all this institutes self financed and stop funding.
Against
Still India in development mode so need of these institutes to promote our young talent to
international platform.
its true student from IIT IIM are moving out but they are sending back money to the
country eventually that money is getting utilized in India itself.
The phase of development through which India is passing by needs more reorganization of
Indian talent pool, which surely needs the more better higher education for young Indians.
For democracy we need policy makers so we needs few people who are Indians who can
create better systems for us IIT's IIM's producing such kinds of brains.
Students from other countries are coming to India so eventually revenue coming back to
government pocket.
Conclusion
We cant compare the primary education, which is vary vast area with IIT IIM which is
concentrated to small area.
Funding to IIT IIM can be self financed but there should be proper mechanism and student
should get scholarships in case of fees hike
Reservation in India
Reservation in India is a form of affirmative action designed to improve the well-being
of perceivedbackward and under-represented communities defined primarily by their 'caste' (quotasystem based on 'gender' or 'religion') is a phenomenon that commenced with the coming into force of
the Indian Constitution (the Constitution initially provided reservation to Christians, with the proviso
that it would automatically reduce gradually with the efflux of time) -- however, lately preferential
treatment on regional basis has either been non-statutorily introduced in the educational institutes
(e.g. eligibility conditions for candidates from outside the State are 5% higher than that for the 'locals',
as per local rules prescribed by certain Universities) or is being advocated in both jobs and lowly
professions like auto-rickshaw-drivers).
These are laws (both Constitutional and statutory) or merely local rules/ regulations/ practices (not
derived from any Act passed by the Parliament or State-Legislature) wherein a certain percentage of
total available vacancies in educational institutes and government jobs are set aside for people from
backward communities and others. Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Other
Backward Classes (OBC) are the primary beneficiaries of the reservation policies under the
Constitutionwith the object of ensuring a levelplaying field (without defining the bench-mark that
determines which particular individual player has reached the said 'level'; the Supreme Court's recent
concept of 'creamy layer' requires a case-by-case determination as to who has ceased to deserve
protection of these Laws).
The reservation system has been a matter of contention ever since it was first introduced in the British
occupied India and remains a point of conflictnay, a form of protectionism [placing a 'handicap' upon
certain communities] was introduced by the Mughals who levied 'jazia' tax against the Hindu traders.
Many citizens who come from the upper classes find the reservation policy of the government biased
and oppose itbecause they feel that it takes away their rights to equality. Moreso, not everyone who
comes from the underprivileged communities, supports the system because he/she says that it makes
one feel disadvantaged. Thus the reservation system is controversial.
voluntarily performed or were assigned by the local administrator etc., and 'varna' was not defined by
one's birth into any particular family.
STs are generally those who have been living in tribal areas loacted far away from modern civilization
such that the fruits of modern education and development have not reached them in, at least, an
equal measure.[4] While the definition of SCs and STs are primarily based on the history of oppression
of the community or their geographical distance from socio-economic growth, the definition of OBCs is
more flexible and dynamic, and they are defined based upon the prevailing social status of their
communitiessometimes, it also depends upon the bargaining power of these communities through
'rasta-roko' or 'jail-bharo' andolans.[1]
The main objective of the Indian reservation system is to increase the opportunities for enhanced
social and educational status (in the sense better than the previous -- until it becomes equal to that
enjoyed by an average member of other communities) of the underprivileged communities and, thus,
enable them to take their rightful place in the mainstream of Indian society.[5] The reservation system
exists to provide opportunities for the members of the SCs and STs to increase their representation in
the State Legislatures, the Executive Organ of the Union (Centre) and States, the labor force, schools,
colleges, and other 'public' institutions.[4]
The Constitution of India states in Article 15(4): "All citizens shall have equal opportunities of receiving
education. Nothing herein contained shall preclude the State from providing special facilities
for educationally backward sections (not "communities") of the population. [Emphasis and
parentheses added.] It also states that The State shall promote with special care the educational and
economic interests of the weaker sections of society (in particular, of the scheduled castes
and aboriginal tribes), and shall protect them from social ''injustice'' and all forms of ''exploitation''."
[Emphasis added.] The Article further states that nothing in Article 15(4) will prevent the nation
from helping SCs and STs for their betterment ['betterment' up to the level enjoyed by
the average member of other communities].[6]
