Chairman Message

 A Tradition of Excellence

  Teaching is the most rewarding aspect of my professional career. Teaching energizes me and I strive to share my love of Teaching and  discipline with my students. It makes them more likely to be enthused as well. It is all about we need to show our students why they should care about learning. 

In the present days, the world is no longer about people, it is about the economic aspect which we have built. It has become bigger than us and we are afraid to stop it even for a moment. It has crept in our life such a way. Unfortunately, schools and colleges have mostly become about manufacturing units. It is the academicians responsibility to make aware of all the stake holders of the educational institution to draw out humanity and social consciousness besides focusing only on Science and technology in terms of marks.

 Education is a man making science. Just running behind the numbers won't help us to build a strong society. The nature itself is teaching this under the title Covid -19. In order to create a beautiful and strong society, we need to educate our children in its true spirit. There are studies which say that if a child goes through twenty years of formal education and comes out with a Ph.D, seventy percent of his intelligence is irrevocably destroyed. Essentially, we have mistaken information for education. If you deaden the brain with too much information, the possibility of intelligence is definitely lost. What we accumulate and who we are should remain separate. Who I am should not be influenced by what I have accumulated – whether it is material objects, information or impressions. 

The purpose of education is to expand the horizons of individual human beings. But that is definitely not happening in most educational institutions. As people get educated, they really can’t get along with anyone! Unfortunately, those who are not formally educated can live together. But once you become educated, you become isolated because that is the nature of the intellect. And education today is entirely intellect-based. There is no other dimension of intelligence in it.  We have mistaken intellect for intelligence and this is a serious error. It is like trying to drive your car on a single wheel instead of all four. Intellect can function only with the backing of memory. In other words, our intellect functions with accumulated information. If our memory is removed, our intellect is quite useless by itself. But there are other dimensions of intelligence within us that do not need the support of memory. 

If education system does not focus on activating these dimensions of intelligence, we will create a workforce but no geniuses. But more than the systems themselves, we have to upgrade those who deliver the system. If we do this, every system will work well. If we are interested in the future generations, the best people in the world must come into teaching. 

What a child needs is inspiration, not just information. We need to completely take away the idea of instruction from the teaching-learning process. We think we need to instruct someone only if we have assumed they are of a lower intelligence than ourselves, which is a serious mistake. There is sufficient scientific data to show that a thirty-year-old is not as intelligent as a child before he even enters school. The only reason we look smart is because we have more information than the child, which we try to show off through instruction. Instead of instruction, we need to empower teachers to inspire and transmit what really matters to them. Then, a child would surely sit up and listen, and every school system could become a fruitful process. 

Intelligence need not be influenced, it needs to be inflamed. The purpose of education is to recognize intelligence, so that it becomes active, adapting to situations and doing what is appropriate. That is the essence of intelligence. But today, education systems are trying to condition the intelligence one way or the other. If human intelligence applies itself, every little thing will explode into a new cosmos by itself. This is what a human being is here for – to enhance life in a way that no other creature can. But right now, the only thing that is important is what serves our economy. What will earn us more money has become the fundamental question. If we do not remove this from our education system, there will only be a manufacturing unit, not education.

Education is not a manufacturing unit. It is a man making science. It is an organic happening. We cannot create an education system independent of the society in which we exist. Are we as a society willing to cultivate an eco-system suitable for a child to grow up in the best possible way? This is a question all of us should ask ourselves. Are we going to do what we like to do, or are we going to be conscious of how every action of ours will impact future generations? It is very important that we look at this because educating a child is not just a teacher’s, parent’s or school’s business, it is the responsibility of the entire society. 

Let us join together to build a strong human resource  there by  strengthening our nation and create  a better place to live a life of peace  and prosperity. 

Thank you for your time.
