Prithviravishanker has expressed the concept of Free culture very well. Take our B tech, MBA. MCA, PG students in 80% of our colleges. . Free culture is a self destructive system in which these students want free seats, demand & get 22/15 in internals without knowing much about the subject, pass out with 70% comfortably without doing a -- sincere project, good internship, serious assignments & large number of case studies. Is it justified?? The other 20% colleges students do exactly the opposite, come out in flying colours & settle down in good jobs.
ASAP -
The same Free culture is a prevailing mindset of farmers, women, elders, across villages, towns, cities in India . Firstly, a culture of doing hard work with commitment needs to be imbibed into their minds. Let us teach them good values like honesty, tolerance, discipline, transparency, integrity others. Sloth, laziness, lethargy, jealousy, complex, comparison - must go out of the system. Let them know it is more honourable to fail than to cheat. They must be read aloud Abe Lincoln"s letter to the Headmaster of his son"s school. They want subsidies, loans, jobs, waivers, flexibility in repayments, tolerance of defaulters, liberal governance, everything -- without any industry or hard work. This attitude must go. How can any Govt function by offering doles & incentives to rural people at the cost of the middle class tax payers. This attitude must go.What we need in the country for every youth - unemployed & employed - from our farms to factories to services to Govt offices - is ASK - positive Attitude, apt Skillsets & much needed Knowledge.

Mr. Pratyush,
I think, what our senior forum member Mr. Ramesh Vemuganti meant was, that with free and subsidized resource support to the people in the name of welfare for the economically weak or socially deprived is funadamentally not wrong, if proper and sincere use is made of them to equip themselves with knowledge, skills and attitude to do honest and hard work! These measures are usually short terms, and they tend to corrupt people and make them more dependent on them for ever, rather than utilizing them to further enhance outputs (whether individual educational skills or farm outputs, that would be more helpful to others/consumers in the society and in turn that would help you to sustain yourselves) in terms of attitude to learn and improve for self dependency. That in the long run will help them to earn their bread and butter more comfortably even in hard times. That hard work culture with accountability and with an eye on learning and improvement has to be ushered in ; that is the sign of a developing country slowly transforming into a developed country . As parents ( to whatever economic strata they may belong) and teachers ( to whichever level they may be teaching), we need to contribute in that direction!
The students are not keen to attend less classes, more keen to write an easy question paper. get easy marks; otherwise institutions would not get students to enroll.....a wrong and rather easy way to sustain in the competition; students want to show their parents a good well scoring marksheet in return for the fees they have provided fore their son! If they do not get jobs, blame it on the company, or institution for placements or the country for recession! End result: low quality output in the form of badly trained students. What is the missing link, a sincere and honest work culture to learn and sustain! The private employers need to be accontable, because they are employing people to produce good and services to sell to the consumers who buy them........amidst competitors! Can they recruit persons who cannot produce or deliver properly?
Whereas, our government who is the public employer, and are recruiting such people....you know the end results!
regards,
P.S.Raychaudhuri

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] Free culture
To: join_mtc@googlegroups.comI am sorry but I do not agree to this argument that "The problem is with the students & parents is they got to used everything free from age 4 to age 21,-- But after a degree in hand, no one gives a job free - without any stuff or knowledge or skills. "How can we say this when we always had the problem of inflation. Things have got costlier and nothing on this earth has got cheaper except for human labor. So if a person prefers some discount, what is the harm in it, as that discount is a great relief to him as he can save few bucks. May be those few bucks are very less, as less as 2-3 rupees but we must not forget an old adage 'drop by drop an ocean is made' (boond boond se sagar banta hai).Now if we talk about tier 2 or 3 cities (as mentioned by sir Ramesh Vemuganti as class A and B cities), it would be not wise to expect people of these cities to shell out a huge amount or even a lac rupees, as that is why they fall in tier 2 or 3 category. But yes it is very rare that people may feel an amount as small as 27000 to be a huge amount. But that is acceptable as some people's financial status do not allow them that much amount even. Recently there was a case where a person became an IAS officer who's father had a road side tea stall. We cant expect this father to shell out that amount even but that doesn't mean his son is not talented.We can definitely not say that in our country people have got to used everything free as here everything has a cost. And cost is always increasing and that is off-course the man issue of our country. But yes because there is so much inflation which is burning people's pockets and making large holes in it, it is no crime to expect and prefer something at a lower cost.Lastly, graduates don't get a job not because they don't have the talent but because of the present economic slowdown. Today they are being exploited aggressively by private firms. It is because of 'CLASS B' and 'CLASS C' colleges who are not efficient enough to call companies to their college which its students deserves. A B.tech students is made to attend the interviews of a BPO or a Sales job profile. He never did engineering to work at a call-center, no matter which tier city he belongs to. So unemployment is not because students don't have the talent but because of the present poor economic slowdown, where companies have no option but to stop hiring and even make their employees to sit on bench or ask them to move out.Thus, practically FREE CULTURE never exists on this earth. Here everything has a cost. FREE CULTURE is something we can only find in utopia.On Fri, Dec 20, 2013 at 12:43 PM, Ramesh Vemuganti <vemugantiramesh@gmail.com> wrote:
regardsSomewhere, the Free Culture has to go . For the next Prime Minister, creating Jobs is the biggest challenge. Members can opine.The problem is with the students & parents is they got to used everything free from age 4 to age 21,-- But after a degree in hand, no one gives a job free - without any stuff or knowledge or skills.Around 70% of our graduates & postgrads are unemployable over past few years, countrywide. No one seems to be bothered including the unemployed youth & parents. There is no panic, concern or any understanding how much deep they are, in the waters.
This is all owing to the Free Culture - the bane of India.Some institutions want to revive with freebies to students -- free seats, free attendance, free marks, free scores, free projects, finally, free certificates. They are supposed to be innovative methods & approaches.
Admissions have drastically fallen in MBA/ PGDM , Engg, Pharma, many streams / courses in last 2 years countrywide including the established institutions also. Reasons are several like low quality/ standards, better options, economic slowdown, huge number of unemployed accumulated, faculty, management, funding, curriculum,placements, projects,,,,,,,,
Thanks to this Free Culture, institutions in several B class & C class towns are unable to attract students ; even Rs 27000-00 is high for many parents & candidates to get a professional degree - by which they can lead a decent life. We do not value a thing if we get it free, without any hard work.
