• LIGHTING THE TORCH FOR OTHERS

    Education is the light that can dispel the darkness of ignorance. However, quality education has become costly and inaccessible to many, especially those coming from the underprivileged background. Since education is the key to secure a bright future, students from disadvantaged sections often do not make it and continue to wallow. Besides, education should lead to the sharpening of faculty, induce rational thinking, and empower a person with job-oriented skills. Hence, the education curriculum should have skill development courses as a means to achieve financial inclusion and bring about social change.

    When a society is mired in inequalities, poverty, and social divisions, education becomes the key or medium to fight these and make people aware, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and responsible. Education can light the torch and illuminate the lives of people who have fallen by the wayside in the road to development. Education, especially in science and technology, can equip a person with the wherewithal to rise above the morass of ignorance, unemployment, and chaos. It can bring about phenomenal changes in each and every aspect of a person’s life including securing for him or her the means to earn a decent livelihood. Education is the process that transforms a person from being a mere citizen whining about fate into a responsible person contributing positively to the progress of the nation.

    If India has to secure her rightful place among the comity of nations and become a developed nation, her citizens should play a meaningful role and fight against vices and entrenched inequities – social, financial and gender-based. People at large, especially from the socially backward sections easily fall prey to superstitions and the machinations of the powerful. The cherished values of our democracy can only be enjoyed if people are able to see the road ahead and rise above petty divisions. Moreover, since the world is changing rapidly, more so in the field of technology, the contours of jobs or their requirements are poised for a change as well. The types of jobs that were mainstream a decade back are in for a transformation going forward.

    The rapid pace of digitization in virtually every field of our economy has created a demand for skilled personnel, both at the ground as well as high-end levels. Technologies like Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Blockchain, Big Data, etc., are defining the new world. If the workforce has to adapt to the changing dynamics driven by the above-mentioned technologies, then it needs to both learn and unlearn. In other words, learn the new technologies and paradigms and unlearn the shibboleths. To enable the same, the workforce should go through industry relevant skill development courses. This is where the efforts of the governments can be supplemented in abundant measure by Anudip, the noted non-profit organization.
