The First “CONVOCATION” of CURAJ
Days full of hustle-bustle,
noise, tension, construction
and sheer hard work, finally
took shape on the 1st of September 2012, the first Convocation ceremony
at our campus. The
ceremony was inaugurated by our
chief guest Shri Kapil
Sibal and guest of
honour, Shri Sachin
Pilot, in the presence of Honourable
Vice
Chancellor,
Prof. (Dr.) M.M.
Salunkhe and other
members of the
CURAJ family. The inauguration was followed by the entry of the Academic procession into the grand pandal,
specially designed for the
occasion. In quick succession
came the annual report
reading by the Honourable
Vice
Chancellor,
Prof.
Salunkhe and then came an
encouraging and inspiring
address by our guest of honour, Shri Sachin Pilot, which
marked enthusing beginning
of the ceremony. The
enlightening words of our
chief guest, Shri Kapil Sibal,
Union Minister of Human
Resource added a touch of
motivation and prudent optimism to the entire ambience. “guru mantras” to succeed in life came, from his
mature lips as time tested
guidelines to the raw talent
of the young students . Just
Identify your passion; there
is no dearth of opportunities; just look for them at the
right place; always strive for
excellence; value hard work
and work smart; make a difference and build character–
these were the pearls of wisdom he scattered among
expectant youngsters.
Finally came the most
awaited moment when the
graduates were bestowed
with the degrees in recognition of their acquisition of
knowledge. We had non
other then Shri Kapil Sibal to
do the honour. The super
senior batch of the CURAJ
family, were appreciated
profusely
for
their hard work
and dedication.
The ceremony
closed
with
singing of the
national
anthem and finally
the exit of the
academic procession.
This
being the first
experience for
each one of us, proved to be
learning as well as a tiring
experience, at the same time
equally enjoyable and full of
positive energy. The grandeur and the serenity with
which the event was organised added to the beauty of
attaining and giving away of
the degrees. Although the
ceremony has ended, the
hues of its magnificent
charm continue to influence
every soul at CURAJ. Another
memory added to the CURAJ
family album.

_____________________________
Excellent team work and
creativity by designer Sh Mukul and other team members. History is replete with
facts that artists, thinkers,
philosopher etc. have always
enjoyed solace and solitude
far away from power structure, greed and insecurity.
They enjoy their fulfillment
by putting in the efforts of
creativity irrespective of others’ recognition. For them
‘Work is not just Worship
but much more. They get
their reward, fulfillment and
their GOD just by getting
absorbed in their WORK.
They are not attention
seeker or slaves of recognition by someone outside.
They don’t work for certification or funds but to channel
their creativity and stretch
the contours of their ability.
That’s why they are larger
than life. They do not follow
power. Power follows them.
Of late it was being discussed that ASTITVA should
be associated with some incentive. Published copies
should be circulated to others. Innovation and value
addition was directed towards
printing extra copies or raising
income by advertisement etc.
I do not refute or disrespect
such ideas but is this what we
started ASTITVA for. I always
believed it as a platform for
self-evolution, expression and
creativity. Sh Mukul reinforced such commitment and
resolution. The last issue indicates that team ASTITVA is
evolving and the philosophy is
being absorbed. Thanks Mukul
& Priyank. I hope your further
efforts regarding e-board and
website shall further deepen
these eternal principles.
The slogan suggested by one
of the team members viz. “No
Paper, No Money & No
Hirearchy” exhibits this philosophy and is a reflection of
freedom from impression management over others.
The current issue of ASTITVA
has accommodated a few historical anecdotes related to
power play in the world of
editing and writing to highlight that greed centered psychologically bankrupt personalities had always been there.
Such powerful blockheads like
Thomas Bowdler, Comstock,
James Granger etc had always
been and will always be. They
suffered from the myopic vision and tried to tailor the
world as per their narrow interpretation. But creative artists should not refrain from
their sincere pursuit. Our ASTITVA is a free platform for
surpassing our own past efforts and not to gain attention or recognition from others. Further the efforts and
endeavors of all are praiseworthy and inspiring to me. I
respect their efforts and
viewpoints. Congratulations
to all for building up the synergy.

“Every part of supremacy is in you, concern yourself”
A question that fills us with
vigor to think how one’s personality can be made extraordinary? Does one have something
extra that makes one more successful than others? Yes ! he/
she has an insight to recognize
self strength & this is
what makes a great difference between a looser
and a winner. Self recognition gives confidence,
self-esteem and courage
to be capable of everything. Now the question arises,
how one can develop this insight (to recognize oneself)?
One only need start believing
in one’s own ideas and their
potential to take concrete shape.
Self recognition makes you
value that is in YOU and it will
invigorate your real strength
which is hidden inside you as
much as in others. YOU alone
can showcase your individual
talent. The only thing required
in the whole process is your
WILL POWER because
strength can be fruitful only if
you really want to do something for yourself. It’s a common notion that everyone lacks
in one or the other way but
positivity & creativity can work
wonders no matter how much
one lacks in any field.
It is optimistic outlook on life
which alone can help one strike
a balance between self- worth
and the surroundings. Such a
positive attitude can bring marvelous changes in one’s life.
This blend of positivity and
enthusiasm does lead life towards achievement of satisfac-
tion and intellectual development. The outward world is
always in conflict with the inner world but what can make
one overcome all the external
obstacles is self-belief. In other
words, YOU ARE OK AND I
AM OK attitude helps one balance the external and the internal forces harmoniously. By
way of conclusion, the secret
of success lies within YOU. So
keep trusting your own decisions and keep living life of
your choice and on your terms.

Spiritual Thought
I am God Almighty,
I am the Light of the world
like the sun.
Neither defeat, nor death,
can ever approach me.
I am the controller of the universe,
know me as the Creator of all.
Strive ye diligently for the
acquisition of power and
wealth such (as true knowledge).
May ye never lose my friendship.
When words touch your intellect, it gives you a feeling of
knowing it all.
You know one line but if you
know it through intellect, you
will speak ten.
But when words touch your
heart, there is an
exclamation,
something is kindled;
a wave or a fountain arises
and then there is no need for
any words.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Corporate Social Responsibility is defined as
“the process of assessing
an organization’s impact on
society and evaluating their responsibilities. It begins with an
assessment of a business on its
Customers, Suppliers, Environment, Communities and employees. It provides frameworks
for a successful enterprise that
is harmonious with its surroundings. ”
Corporate Social Responsibility
is not a new term today. Government Of India in fact has
been trying to mandate for the
for the relatively flourishing
and big corporate houses to expend at least 2% of their net
profits on Corporate Social Activities, however, due to vehement criticism from the other
end these activities have been
rendered voluntarily.
Corporate Social Responsibilities could be classified as per
recent literature as:
1. Ethical Corporate Social
Responsibility: It refers to fulfillment of a firm’s economic,
legal and ethical responsibilities
as a moral duty.
2. Altruistic Corporate Social
Responsibility: This can be
defined as fulfillment of an organization’s philanthropic responsibilities, going beyond
preventing possible harms
(ethical Corporate Social Responsibility) to help alleviate
public welfare deficiencies,
regardless of whether this will
benefit the business itself or
not.
3. Strategic Corporate Social
Responsibility: This can be
best interpreted as doing corporate community service activities that accomplish strategic
business goals.
TERI has undertaken an extensive research study which presents the evolution of Corporate
Social Responsibility in India.
It is seen to be based on largely
four models namely- Ethical
model based on trusteeship,
Statist Model, Liberal Model
and stakeholder Model. In India
there are numerous examples of
successful Corporate Social
Responsibility Activities but
yet these activities in India are
in its infancy. Nonetheless, as
part of corporate social responsibility, Indian companies’ contribution pattern mostly includes setting up schools, hospitals, community development, women empowerment,
planting trees, and nurturing art
and culture. These are of
course noble gestures, but
more in the nature of philanthropy, remotely connected
with their core business. Such
initiatives are unsustainable,
and can happen only till the
point the company is profitable; more importantly, these
‘giveaways’ per say will not
drive the company to remain
profitable, as they are too small
in scale to make any significant
enhancement to the profit earning capability of companies.
Corporate Social Responsibility and Philanthropy are different. Philanthropy is generally
done without expectations of
any returns; it is ad-hoc giveaways, which is less related to
the core operations of the company. Contrarily, Corporate
Social Responsibility is more
of a ‘focused’ form of philanthropy directed towards specific stakeholders with clear
expectations of a continued
profitability in the long run.
Corporate Social Responsibility, too often is used as business jargon, which means different things to different organizations. For some companies, CSR is almost synonymous with philanthropy. From
charity donations, planting
trees to corporate volunteering,
these companies pursue such
activities as a means to build a
good brand image. This is also
accentuated by the fact that

the evils of capitalism, the
“need” to adopt Corporate Social Responsibility as a reputation (or risk) management tool
has become more real than
ever.
HINDUSTAN UNILIVER —
AN EXAMPLE
Hindustan Unilever (HUL) invests in research, working with
nutrition and health specialists
in its ‘ready to eat’ food business striving to reduce salt to
the recommended dietary levels, reduce trans fat from vegetable oil, sugar from ready to
drink tea, and drastically cut
calories in children’s ice
creams. In its personal care
business, it is moving towards
‘dry shampoo’ which refreshes
hair between washes, reducing
hot water consumption thereby
reducing global warming. It is

also systematically promoting
‘regular hand wash’ as a habit
to reduce communicable diseases in adults and children.
The packaging for Vaseline has
been reengineered not only to
cut plastics, reducing energy
consumption but also made the
product visually more appealing and functional. These initiatives not only position the products distinctively vis-à-vis the
competitors
and enhances
brand equity, but also ensures
well being of customers and the
environment.
Some people consider examples such as this to be “strategic
Corporate Social Responsibility” but I believe a more appropriate description is “Corporate
Sustainability”.

implies a reactive approach
i.e. the company is obliged to
giving back to the society (to
ease its conscience) for all the
money it makes. By contrast,
Corporate Sustainability is “a
proactive strategy to ensure an
organization’s
long-term
growth, taking a balanced development approach to profit,
people and planet. It is a business approach that creates long
-term shareholder value by embracing sustainability opportunities while at the same time
successfully reducing and
avoiding sustainability costs
and risks”.

For Peace….???
Norway's Nobel Committee
handed its 2012 Peace Prize to
the European Union, even as
the bloc faces its most serious
crisis since it emerged from
the ruins of two world wars,
an award that served as both
endorsement and warning.
The committee, whose decision Europeans both celebrated and mocked, said the
prize recognized more than six
decades during which the conflict-ridden continent pulled
together and became a harbinger of "peace and recon-
ciliation, democracy and human rights" at home and be-
yond. The EU has transformed
most of Europe "from a continent of wars to a continent of
peace", Nobel Committee
Chairman Thorbjoern Jagland
said in announcing the award
in Oslo.
The prize may also be a wakeup call for Europe to take a
stronger role in international
affairs. The EU is the world's
biggest donor of humanitarian aid, but its members have
often struggled to take a common view on important foreign-policy events.

FILM REVIEW
BARFI..!!
Cast: Ranbir
Kapoor,
Pri-
yanka
Chopra,
Illeana
D’Cruz,
Saurabh
Shukla,
Roopa Ganguly, Jishu Sengupta
Director: Anurag Basu
Producers: Ronnie screwvala,
Siddhartha Roy Kapoor
Duration: 120 minutes
Rating:
Barfi is
a pleasantly different film, only it isn’t
an extraordinary one. That’s
because despite the brilliant
characters and setting, the film
doesn’t have an extraordinary
story to tell.
Although this film is about a
deaf-mute man and his search
for love, it is told with humor
and sensitivity. Barfi is born to
a poor couple in Darjeeling. His
mother passes away shortly
after his birth and Barfi- discovered to be deaf - is brought
up by his driver father. Barfi is
not a shy guy, he is a mischiefmaker, an attention seeker and
warmly demonstrative with all
those he is attached to. He follows young girls like Shruti and
falls in love with her and although Shruti is attracted to
him, she prefers to be sensible
and marry the man her parents
have chosen for her. Barfi is
also deeply attached to the
neighborhood rich girl Jhilmil
who is autistic and whose own
parents find her difficult to love.
The film is about Barfi's love for
these two women and their love
for
him.
As Hindi films go, Barfi is also
slightly off-center in its notions
and motivations of romantic love.
It ruminates on love and how it
thrives in the way Barfi and
Jhilmil and Shruti need and trust
each other. But the story’s greatest strength is its cheer and
charm.
Director Anurag Basu offers a
film which is lovingly detailed,
with warm fuzzy layers and
golden hues. Pritam’s music and
background score matches the
warm cheerful hues of the film.
The only problem is its constant
and incoherent time switches. The
flashbacks are disjointed and it’s
difficult to figure out the chronology of the story within the different time zones in the film.
Ileana makes a mature debut. Priyanka does a super job. Her character is awkward ungainly and
mistrustful but thoroughly lovable. Priyanka manages to infuse
her autistic character with charm
and intelligence. Ranbir, of
course, rocks. He bears the vain,
mischievous, darling Barfi with
such ease and grace. All in all,
Barfi is warm, tender, spirited and
really funny –a truly delightful
film.

Will I.Am's presence in the

What's not:
We didn't like the computerised beginning of the song;

only good track on the album.
Priyanka Chopra's muchawaited single In My City

London Olympics 2012
India produced a fantastic show at
the London Olympics 2012 as they
bagged 6 medals in total. This was
India's best performance at the
Olympic Games ever in terms of
medals won. India won 2 Silver and
4 Bronze Medals. India finished
55th in the overall Medals Tally, 5
behind their rank at the Beijing
Games in 2008. But the way Indian
athletes performed was really heartening
to
see.
India’s first Medallist was Gagan
Narang who won a Bronze Medal in
the 10 m Air Rifle Event. Gagan
Narang was a big Medal Hope and
he delivered the goods when required. He had missed out on a
medal at the Beijing Games but
made up for that loss in London.
India got its Second Medal in shooting too. Vijay Kumar had shot 30
out of 35 in the Finals to finish second. India's Badminton Sensation
Saina Nehwal had huge expectations
on her back and she did perform
well. She won her Bronze Medal
match after her Chinese opponent
was forced out of the match due to
an injury. But in the process, India
got its third Medal, in the form of a
Bronze.
From one lady to the other, MC
Mary Kom punched her way into a
Medal. She was splendid at the
Games, but lost her Semi Final bout,
only
to
win
a
Bronze.
India’s last two Medals came in the
last two days of London Olympics
and that too in Wrestling. The 29year-old Yogeshwar Dutt won a
Bronze Medal after he came back in
the Medal contention after winning
type repechage round matches. His
way to the Bronze Medal was full of
drama.
India's Best was still to come and
this time it was India's Golden Boy
Sushil Kumar, who won a Silver
Medal. He became the first Indian
athlete to win two Medals in an
individual event at the Olympics.
Sushil Kumar had won Bronze at
Beijing and this time he did a step
better to grab the Silver Medal.
We all should be proud of these 6
athletes as they made India proud at
the greatest stage. Though there
were a few disappointments in Vijeneder Singh, Abhinav Bindra,
Ronjan Sodhi and Deepika Kumari.
India still did pretty well. Hope
India carries on the good work and
wins plenty of Medals at Rio de
Janerio
in
2016.

REMEMBERING THE MILKMAN OF INDIA
In spite of being one of leading nations in cattle rearing
and breeding, India was not
self-sufficient in milk production. This battle was won
with the help of a mechanical
engineer who later became,
“the Milkman of India”, Dr.
Varghese Kurien. Dr. Kurien
was 28 when he came to Anand, Gujarat, in 1949, and
was soon working hard to
help a budding cooperative
to grow. For him the dairy
farmers were the rightful
owners of the milk business.
Kurien revolutionized the
milk industry when he produced milk powder from buffalo milk while the rest of the
world was using cow milk
for the same. The story goes
that India’s ‘milkman’ never
consumed milk himself as
the taste didn’t quite agree
with him. Matters of his
own palate, however, did
not deter him from launching ‘Operation Flood’ or
creating the ‘Taste of India’.
Kurien replicated the Anand
model throughout India as
“Operation Flood”, making
India one of the world's largest producers of milk. Today
over 10 million farmers
across the country at 200
dairies produce over 20 million litres of milk a day. Kurien was founder chairman of
both the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing
Federation (GCMMF) that
markets brand Amul and the
National Dairy Development
Board
(NDDB).The
GCMMF of Amul fame was
Kurien’s brainchild. Amul,
which began its journey as
the Kaira co-operative with
just two village dairy cooperative societies and 247
litres of milk, has grown
into a Rs11,668crore brand
with milk collection of 3.88
billion litres. As the architect
of Operation Flood — the
largest dairy development
program in world — he
helped modernize the model
of co-operatives. He also
served as founder chairman
of the Institute of Rural
Management
Anand
(IRMA) in Anand, where he
had arrived on May 13,
1949 as a dairy engineer appointed by the Government
to look after the operations
of Government Research
Creamery.Dr. Kurien left us
on 9 September 2012 after a
brief spell of illness in
Nadiad, near Anand in Gujarat. He was 90.During his
life time he won numerous
awards which include the
Padma Vibhushan , Padma
Shri , World Food Prize etc.
Although he is no more with
us but he has surely made
our lives “Utterly butterly
delicious!!”

Tribute to ‘Kaka’
For some he defined romance on
screen, for some his heartwarming performances brought
tears, and for a whole lot of Bollywood
celebrities
Rajesh
Khanna, Hindi cinema's "first
superstar",
was
the
"phenomenon" whose "magic"
will live on forever through his
memorable films, dialogues and
songs.
Fondly called 'Kaka', who passed
away here Wednesday (18 July
2012) following prolonged illness. Known for his shy smile
and flamboyant looks, Khanna
was often referred to as Bollywood's first real superstar, someone who had a fanatical fan base
among women, thanks to the
many romantic hits in which he
starred during the 1970s.The 69year-old actor died of an undisclosed illness. Plunging his fans
into grief and prompting glowing
tributes from the Indian film industry.
His admirers lined up on the
streets as a flower-bedecked truck
carried the actor's body in a glass
casket with white flowers.
Khanna's estranged wife Dimple
Kapadia,
son-in-law
Akshay
Kumar and grandson Aarav accompanied the body.
People clung to railings, climbed
trees and held up his portraits,
hoping to catch a last glimpse of
‘Kaka' as he was affectionately
known. Television channels ran
special shows on his films and
social networking sites like Twitter were full of tributes to Khanna.
“The word 'superstar' was invented for him, and it shall ever
remain his, and no others," Life
came to a standstill after Carter
Road’s most famous resident Rajesh Khanna breathed his last. All
roads leading to Aashirwad, the
sea-facing bungalow of Bollywood’s first superstar, were
blocked by the police.
The number of people at the bungalow started swelling on a day
when rain did not stop pouring.
The mood, however, was more
nostalgic than sad. The area —
which on a regular day is abuzz
with activities thanks to multiple
hang-out joints in the neighbourhood — wore a solitary look as
traffic was diverted.
Khanna, who was brought home
from the Lilavati Hospital on
Monday afternoon, once again
pulled a huge crowd in front of his
home. In the height of his popularity, this address used to be a favourite destination of fans and
people from the film industry.
Veteran actor Raj Babbar followed soon after and spent a considerable amount of time with the
grieving family. Amitabh Bachchan — who acted with Khanna in
Anand and Namak Haram had wet
his eyes by remembering the unforgettable moments he spend
with him during their film carrier.
Atlast we all give our tribute to
the legendary superstar Mr.Rajesh
Khanna. He will be remembered
for his great achievements and
man of for all generations.

World Literacy Day
As long ago as 1946 UNESCO
(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)
established its first committee to
promote "Fundamental Education", but it was 19 years later, in
November 1965, that 8thSeptember
was formally adopted as International Literacy Day. The aim of the
day is to raise awareness of and
concern for literacy issues around
the world and since its inception
the day has become a special occasion. In 1990 the UN gave international literacy a boost by proclaiming the year as International Literacy Year.
Literacy is a means of personal
liberation and development and is
a means of providing individuals
with a method of developing faculties that will improve their economic status and general wellbeing. It can instil values of national identity, tolerance, conserva-
tion of resources and the importance of community .Literacy is
not simply about educating. It is a
unique and powerful tool that can
eradicate poverty and promote
social and human progress.
Through literacy all can acquire a
basic education. Knowledge thus
gained can lead to eradication of
poverty, reductions in infant mortality, understanding of issues such
as family planning and gender
equality, constant development,
peace and democracy. A good
quality basic education will equip
people for life. Literate parents are
more inclined to send their children to school and literate people
are more inclined to take advantage of continuing educational
opportunities. Educated societies
are better equipped to keep pace
with pressing developments.
The UN estimates that there are
some four billion literate people in
the world, but there are also
around 775 million people who
still do not have basic literacy
skills. Put another way, one in five
adults world-wide is illiterate and
two-thirds of them are women.75
million children do not attend
school and many more only attend
irregularly. Nearly 35 countries
have a literacy rate of less than
50% and a population of more
than 10 million are illiterate. 85%
of the world's illiterate population
lives in these countries.
A literate community is a dynamic
community, one that exchanges
ideas and engages in debate. Illiteracy on the other hand is an obstacle to a better quality of life
and can even breed exclusion and
violence.

“Sustainable Architecture”
The ‘God” said ‘Be’ and it became. This is how one very old
story runs about the creation of
our universe and the Benevolent father said unto the being
‘Look Ye’ Oh Men , I have created also the land, the water, the
air, the fire and many other
beauties for you, see that you
use them properly. Time passed
and more of it passed when
man throughout the world felt
that with the advancement of
civilization and industries
through the creation of God,
was utilized to maximum but he
was loosing the contact of nature every day.
Both the ancient man and the
man of the day are the ardent
lover and admirer of the beauties of the nature. He enjoys the
closer contact of nature, the
water, the woods, the mountains, and the snow; there he
enjoys the morning breeze, the
nightingale, sweet songs, and
the rhythmic sound of the grass
on the ground.
One fine morning when he was
lost in the nature, the blazing
sound of the factory siren filled
the atmosphere, the puzzling
sound of automobiles started
disturbing him, he was tired of
his own creations, he felt like
running away farther & farther
from this tortured, fatigue, nausea, Neurosis and stereo type
city life. He himself has created
a hell for himself. He was puzzled and then in a flash, came
the voice of his father, ‘Look
ye oh man’ I have created also
the land, the Water, the Plants,
see that you use them properly.
The problem was solved. The
next moment, the man thought
of preserving & developing the
natural features, the creation of
open spaces for human recreation which could give him
peace, remove his tiredness,
increase his efficiency, his
health when he was tired of
man made Synthetic environment.
This is the basic principal lying
behind the course ‘M. Arch.
Sustainable Architecture’. This
course is introduced by
‘Central University of Rajasthan,’ in India. I who was in
search of the innovation joined
it. He deals with all the aspects
of life of a person while designing a shelter, a complex, or
any kind of creation. People
dream and architects helps executing their dreams and the
course ‘M. Arch Sustainable
Architecture’ enlightens us
more about the use of God
Gifted Natural elements properly.
I have joined this Course to
increase not only my wisdom
but to use it for the benefit of
Society in future.

One thing you can’t recycle is wasted Time
“Time is free, but it's priceless.
You can't own it, but you can use
it. You can't keep it, but you can
spend it. Once you've lost it you
can never get it back.”
Yes, it’s sure and certain that time
is like a river. As the current of the
river flows ahead and never comes
back, same is with time, once lost
it can’t be regained.
Time is like money, yet more valuable than it. Every day, hour, minute, second is precious for us. As
we spend money wisely, in the
same way our time should be spent
very cautiously. For this time management is very essential.
Another famous maxim goes, “A
stitch in time saves nine". However
we always misuse it. Its proper
utilization is very necessary.
It’s truly said that, “Don’t count
every hour in the day, make every
hour in the day count.” we got to
be very punctual and studies in our
lives about time.
A farmer has to harvest his crops
on time but if he neglects, the birds
will eat those crops or untimely
rain may destroy it.
The whole world runs along with
it. If anyone remains back, he
surely will be described as a loser
in his life.
A successful man only knows the
value of time because he has come
up with proper use of time jointly
with hard work. So, time should
not be procrastinated instead every
single second should be used carefully.
Then only, a person will touch the
sky of success.

EDUCATION
On Education
The role of education in a nation
is foremost to delineate the future of students. The foundation
of a country and its unborn time
only hinges upon its educational
regimentation and organization,
not just on its geographical
structure and population. History
can put forward innumerable
evidences of this regard that
only a few educated people
ruled over the most populous
countries. Good education can
influence our society to a great
extent. The development of a
nation depends on its education
system and scholars who stay
alive here and have desire for
excellence, not by its theatre
craze and luster. No doubt that
the troopers of Waterloo were
trained in schools and universities of England, not on its harbour’s borders. To get education
is not merely to get a job but the
most is to build the character and
to train human brain in such a way
that we can get ready to cope up
with circumstances, come what
may. And second one is that we
can feel for others. If the modern
technology and education system
is compared with ancient education, then we are much behind.
In a wink of eye so many things
can be invented. Remote can push
the missiles, airplanes fly automatically, trains operate without
fuel and even surgery can be done
without operation. But what is the
use of this kind of technology and
education that we can’t support a
poor old man who is in painful
condition in the middle of road
and we cannot stand up for a vulnerable soul.
that we are educated but we are
unaware that we are on a crossroad and all the lights of it has
been turned off, now we are surrounded in shadow. We don’t
know where we have to go and in
between what type of hurdles will
come, how can we reach our final
destination.
Only getting the degrees of master’s and doctorate does not good
education. In schools and universities students should be trained in
such a way that they can resurrect
their inert powers and can know
that the field, in which they are
going, is right or wrong for them,
and they are right or wrong for the
field. They can stick up for them
and can remain faithful to their
nation, is the best education.
