Catch them young …….
Universities, Institutions, Colleges, Schools should be a place to disseminate knowledge and create a secular culture that enables learners of all age groups to learn in an atmosphere that is conducive and peaceful, the current prevailing situation has really made us think where we have failed to educate these young minds and inculcate in them values that was essential to refrain themselves from involving in religious conflicts and disputes. Watching them today in media indicates mere failure of our education, it is high time we understand the need to bring in values and ethics in the younger generation, we have to catch them young so that we give them an upbringing in the academic set up that would make them sensitive, responsible, have concern for each other and develop mutual respect.
Today it is essential for us to realize the need for creating a positive atmosphere for learning that would emphasize on value based education and groom youngsters who will make the society a better place to live. Education system and processes have to re-define themselves such that we guide the learners constructively and enable them to re-align themselves to the needs of the society.
Let the Generation next use their energy and enthusiasm in uplifting the nation. Our Ancient wisdom can lay a strong foundation in this direction, i urge all universities, educational institutions, colleges and schools to include Indian ethos in their curriculum, so that our youngsters follow the right path and lead a life of pride rather than involving in practices that may not help individuals, society nor nation as a whole
Let our youngsters be our strength and pride, hoping for a positive tomorrow in days and years to come.
