Sir,
There are crores of students and educated persons with high degrees across our country. After acquiring high degrees what are they doing for the welfare of the country? Are they giving even a little help to the poor and suffering masses ? Their main objective is to amass wealth and keep on acquiring more and more of it. Modern trend of making education a business endeavour that is promoting selfishness and greed in students rather than making them men and women of sterling character with high moral stature which society today is in dire need of spiritual inputs and academic learning should effectively complement and reinforce each other to provide education for life to students and not merely for a living. Education is meant for spiritual regeneration and character building so as to produce enlightened citizens of tomorrow with a deep commitment to social welfare. Education should lay emphasis on human values so that our students become role models for their moral behaviour and for services to society. More and more academic researchers are relevant in the welfare of our society. The present system of education which is being more and more commercialised is making our students narrow minded and selfish. The present system of education needs complete overhauling by following the value-based system of education.
Yours etc..
