Firstly, Pratyush Verma - in this forum, we cannot discuss inflation, price raise, money, currency, economics related. It is of no use & outside our purview. We are not policy planners, as discuussed earlier. You have not understood the meaning of Free culture, which I am talking about & referring to. And, wrote a long mail bringing in inflation, several other aspects.
I will clarify what I mean by Free Culture. It means the doles, freebies, giveaways, reservations, subsidies, discounts, waivers - given by Govts - Central & State, Vote bank politics. Hope you are getting this.That is eating into the vitals of society. The whole system has gone topsy turvy - take any sector. In rural areas, this disdainful practice has made students lazy, slothy, vegatables & adults keep drinking, want money without working. NREGS, Yuva kendras, Angan vaadis, plethora od schemes in gram panchayats,,,,,,,,,,The farmers & village youth expect every scheme to be a money distribution system; authorities & politicians exploit it very well, in many places. Less said the better.

I appreciate all businessmen & founders of educational institutions in the country for providing some employment. They are doing something which Govt also has not done much.
Free culture means not just free but getting everything for a pittance - education, health care, seeds, fertilizers, other services. Again, only a part of the population gets this, thanks to our reservations.
How can institutions & businesses survive if they cannot obtain the cost price & recover the minimum costs. Inflation affects them also. Result is a frustrated faculty & demotivated staff. You cannot expect them to work properly & teach well if they dont even get 1/3rd of their worth.
My observation is that members must have a broad based overview, a good deal of maturity, varied experience & an overall perspective before reacting to any mail. There is a gap in our forum too with a combine of senior & juniors. Better, they must ask the right questions to seniors like us & get updated before giving an opine.

I 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.
