Re: [MTC Global] Empowerment and missing things in education

From: Dr. Ramkrishna Vyas, Professor of Strategic Management,  Devi Ahilya University, Indore

I am of the opinion that our sociologist & education psychologist must find a cause of overstress amongst the student pursuing higher education, resulting cause of depression which leads to suicide attempts.I hypothesise that the cause is trigged  through firstly, the universities/ Institutions of higher learning are failing in providing curricula of interest with pedagogies of real edutainment ( Education + Entertainment ) with a mission of employability. Not only they serve rotten syllabi & boring lecture method, but evaluation methods are also conventional in which teachers ask question and poorly equipped students give abrupt answers to these. Secondly, students parents normally do not consider that their wards are now grown up and ready learn & fly, rather these parents would like that their wards must be taught & be kept for fulfilling their dreams. These parent forget about ward's hormonal status and individuality. And, thirdly, the support of the society--including family to government, only wants to see success stories and not appreciate failure/ endeavour. So, in general,  our institutions of higher learning lacks educating environment-- education hardware & software, climate of facing challenges of the time, choices of individuals, need of the society. You may all agree with me that Education is to make pupil a fearless object, whereas we are becoming degree granting vending machine.

I feel the august educator of higher learning will consider aforesaid facts for consideration.

Dear All,

Majority of suicides are the outcome of mental illness or psychologically disturbed condition. unless we deal with the core issue, there is no change. Whether, it is a farmer's suicide, medical/engineering student/Ph.D., It's all same. The causal factors are very diverse and complex. We can not blame VC/Principal or institutions for this. It does not mean they are right and forgiven. I completely agree with that their behaviour might have made these student feel more hopeless and helpless, but finally it is their choice to take extreme steps rather than finding alternative options/answers. Because we all face similar situations in varied intensities including highly successful leaders. I have not come across any leader's biography, which is full of rosy and golden moments. But have they committed suicide? They fought with whatever their resources and came out successful.

Your personal qualities like open mindedness, hopefulness, resilient nature and social intelligence matters for success in the life.

We need to cautiously analyse media reports. There are 80 success people, 10-15 are mediocre and 2-4 may be failures. 1-2 cases failed and committed suicide.

They do not publish these reports, they publish either suicides or gold medalists.

Life is lot there in the median.

It does not mean that I am favoring suicides over unethical behaviours of management.

I feel for the lost lives of those girls. May God bless them and  their soul rest in peace. May God give us the energy fight corruption, callousness and apathy.
