From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
IoE status be given to those educational institutions that have achieved excellent results in terms of a good contribution to the generating of new and practically useful knowledge and technology that suits more to Indian conditions rather than supplying of brains to foreign countries, at least for ten years in the field.Health, good governance, employment must be the vision and mission of these institutions.
1. What was so much of urgency to grant status of Institute of Eminence ( IoE) to Jio University? It is rather surprising that Mr N Gopalaswami, who headed the panel which selected six institutes for grant of a coveted status called IoE, does not feel embarrassed by criticism of many a individual from field of education. Would HRD minister reconsider his ministry’s decision to grant IoE status to an institution which is yet to start working? 2. Even as one questions propriety of HRD ministry’s decision of grant of IoE status to certain organisations, I think we must be ready reassessment of our policy regarding government funding of higher education. I think we have not done any cost-benefit study of grants given by UGC to colleges and universities which offer post-graduate courses in different areas of learning. It is time we do that to find out impact of government spending on higher education during last five decades or so. 3. Though we have faced exodus of hundreds of graduates of IIT and other institutions to foreign countries, we could not do much to stop or minimise this brain drain. 4. Incidentally, my query related to subject of higher education is this: would the HRD ministry prepare a plan to so that talented Indians do not go away and prefer to work in this country?
This is the End of State when and where every thing is for Sale.
Are we running a race against a concept called Democracy
