Tarikh pe tarikh !

In our country we all know about the pathetic condition of our judiciary. In fact it is ridiculous. There are more than half cases pending over two decades. And whenever a judgement comes, if at all, it looks like a mockery.

The similarity can be drawn from a situation where  a thirsty man asks you for a glass of water and you are so kind to give him the ‘glass’ of water with may be a ‘drop’ of water and that too after two decades! 

Whatever may be the reason, but there is an interesting story about it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You all know about Aristotle. He was a famous scholar and a lawyer by profession. He was very successful and students of law used to come to study under him.

Once a man came to him and requested to teach him. Aristotle agreed on one condition that he will have to pay 100 gold coins in advance. The man said that he can pay 50 coins now and 50 if he wins his first case. On that Aristotle said-“No problem, my students never loose. But don’t break your promise.  ” And so he made the man his pupil and gave him all the knowledge on the subject. Eventually he became a lawyer.

Now Aristotle was waiting for the day when his pupil will win his first case and pay the remaining 50 gold coins to him. Years went by, nothing happened. Since the student was not practicing in the court; how can he ever win?

So Mr. Aristotle filed a case against him in the court. Now came the time when both of them were facing each other after so many years and that too in a court. The judge first asked Aristotle about the complaint. He told the whole story and added that whatever be the outcome of the case he will still get his 50 coins. The judge asked him how? He said that if he wins this case then according to the law he should get the 50 coins. And if he looses this case then it will mean that his student has won. Then still he will get the 50 coins as promised by his student! (That after winning his first case he will give the rest of the money).

The judge now turned towards the accused and asked if he had anything to say. As Aristotle has already cleared that whatever happens his student has to return those 50 gold coins.

But the judge had no clue that this man was a bigger lawyer than his teacher!

He said that whatever be the outcome of this case, I won’t have to pay those 50 coins.

Now the judge was irritated. He asked how that is possible.

Then he replied that if he looses this case he won’t have to pay as he had promised that he will pay only if he wins his first case. OK so far!

And if he wins this case that means Aristotle has made false charges against him and so according to the law, again he won’t have to pay! GREAT!

Mr. ‘Judge’ was now perplexed and had no other options but to give another date for a new trial!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

An incredible story but actually this the real scenario of present India.

Tarikh pe tarikh, tarikh pe tarikh!

Young India

What is in the Budget-Box this time? We all have our expectations of varying degree. But around all speculations there is common thing and that is very important for our economic growth. That is the creation of employment.

We all know India is rich in human resources. And today there are 48 crores people between the age of 15 to 60 . So we can say that India is demographically a young country. And estimates show this figure would be around 78 crores by 2022. So we are hoping from the planning commission to take the right measures. The time has come to take bigger strides. Because we have to generate employment at the rate of 3 crores per year to reach our target of 2022. Otherwise what is now called the demographic dividend will eventually turn into a demographic catastrophe.

There are several factors behind this mismanagement-

1)Lack of skilled labours

Present India has just 10% of the required skilled labours. Half of the seats of polytechnics and graduate schools remains empty.

2)Quality of education

There are millions of educated ciphers wandering in India looking for jobs. As Mr. Narayanmurthy said –“30% of the jobs we are giving to those who are unemployable ”.

So education is not making us “industry-ready”!

3)Government’s negligence

There should be a proper plan before giving license to tons of new colleges. There are more than 6000 engineering colleges and above 3000 MBA colleges. But the question is do we need such amount of engineers or managers? NO! The problem is not the quantity, it is the quality.

4)Strategic failures in rural areas

Just by launching schemes like NREGA and its akin govt. thinks it has done its job. It is not going to help India in any way.

Just compare it with China where the rural people are trained to build the tools required by their industries unlike India which is still going for handicrafts ,pottery ,basket-making ,etc. Need of the hour is to study the market demands and then create the required skills among the vast resource we have.

Compare with China imparting 40000 courses to its people as against 100 courses by India!

5)Education loan

It is easier to repay a loan for car or a home than a loan for education.

Around 80% of the students in Canada relies on bank loans and  India again way behind-just 3%.

So Mr. Pranab BABU are you listening?

Back to blogging...

I was really missing my blog.
But that i found something better to do can be an excuse.
I was very much engrossed into my CAT preparations.This was my first attempt.
And like many i have too made mistakes (and i am not going to discuss it right now!)
But lets see what happens.

This year we  saw CAT going online.There was tumult after reports of mishaps in many centers .
Many examinees were having problems with there system(server problems!)
So, another dates were given to such candidates.After much hue and cry it is now over.

And i am waiting for that DATE..which will decide my FATE!
Hoping for some good colleges...But hoping is not enough!!
