Universities, ours and theirs


Prof. Krishna Kumar has offered the readers an excellent article. Is this article another cry in wilderness? We cannot deny the grim truth that most of our classroom teaching is certainly”like the needle boring into an old gramophone record”! Our selection process is merely a “labyrinth of eligibility norms stipulated by the UGC” and does not identify “how passionate the candidate is in the pursuit of knowledge and teaching”. We have long forgotten the fact that the library “induces ethos in the young to learn the meaning of belonging to a community of scholars.” It is true that there are many who take the number of periods required, but their classes have no soul or spark. Can anyone change the Indian mindset?
