The Great Indian Education

"I love beautiful objects, I love creating them.......... but NEGATIVE people upset me"
-------Steve Jobs (CEO of APPLE, PIXAR,NEXT)


After PU/12th most people join engg/any course.........Then they have this "SYLLABUS" its... like a perfect circle of protection to every problem in this Universe.
Teachers teach everything inside this syllabus, You can also hear them saying "This question was there in 1998 exam..... very important" So its kinda narrowing your thought and suppressing your ideas............You as a student , slog ......slog..............every lesson, copy everything in your brain .......Its like Pointers in C, It points to your memory fragments, so when a question is asked in the exam ................. the content at the memory fragment is executed
and you write the answer.................... The whole thing is "The magic of ctrl+C and ctrl+V" .........While studying if you get any new ideas you ignore them and narrow your thought towards scoring marks. Well I am not here to just comment on others or other things, I/We are here to Innovate, ..................See think deeply................... Marks Oriented Teaching is not required ,
its hopeless, ..................instead KNOWLEDGE ORIENTED TEACHING is required. Then finally one day you become a engineer, All this so called BIG companies will hire you, You feel , "Oh My God I am the ONE , finally I have done" ............... But there is no difference there too.................Still you are SLAVE , So the BIG companies don't allow you to think and innovate,or to build up something on your own IDEA........... they put you under a project , So you have to work
under this...........and they will pay you in lakhs ............but the company will be getting crores......................... So people, Think think ................ "THINK BIG, ACHIEVE BIG" Dont
narrow your thinking........ Be positive always............

Sir Ken Robinson who is recognized as the World leader of Creativity has spoke about the education system. See this video, its really thought provoking!

It may be a startup or a big industry, but few of us(companies) in this competitive arena succeed. The remaining ones do this------>>> please check out the video

Where exactly is this............ "Innovation"???

I had been to a conference in bangalore last october known as i3-India Is Innovation. A lot of discussions were going on about innovation but onething that striked my mind is 'innovation may be anywhere' Its not only in technology or science! I had wonderful experience on that day,
Ravi Venkatesan - Chairman Microsoft India spoke about education in india and is it supporting innovation? and also about innovation in management and business, he gave example of "dabbawalas" where they have excellent business model and awesome time management! the whole keynote address is here.

Ashok Ganguly Chairman of Firstsource talked about these 3 points
  • Rise of new interest is equal to rise of new qualities which foster the growth of innovation.
  • Innovation is everything to do with an IDEA.
  • Innovation Intensity should increase in INDIA!
I searched on the net found one presentation which describes the management style of dabbawalas. I think this appeals to everyone that anyone anywhere in the world can bringup Innovation.



Feel free to throw your thoughts on this ..... add a comment! :-)
