Dear Friends , Parents and students ,
From more than a decade , I am involved in the field of training , campus placements , soft skills and other personality development initiatives at different forums . During conferences , workshops and discussions with Tech and HR officers of various industries , few observations are coming up about this new student generation .It is the subject of debate , whether they are true , not true , partially true and also about responsibility .. Students , teachers , parents , friends ...?
Let us see the observations ....
1. No passion about the career . No planning ...
2. Doing graduation , just for sake of doing it .
3. No faith on academics and teaching learning process .
4. Creativity has gone down . No innovation in projects .
5. Emotionally unstable ... at the same time lack of conscientiousness .
6 Responsible-less behavior . More individualists , No team work .
Now while addressing these 6 parameters , a lot of brain storming happened in one of the conferences and finally we decided to give one power solution to address most the these issues . Surprisingly , the fact came out was more for Parents and teachers and of course for students themselves . The Power solution was .... It is the duty of all of us to Expose new generation to outside world at 3 different stages of youth , at the age of 14 , 16 and 18 .
Do not put your ward in a cage ,an over protected atmosphere , let him go , travel and see the world with his own eyes , motivate him to go to different camps .. allow him to go to small treks .Ask him to do small hobby internship after class X , tell him to earn some money with moral methods , let him go to all parts of society , let him go to slums through some social ventures , let him go see the telescope , war memorials , let free flow him to see the farm fields , ask him to take ST bus and go to some drought prone area and do some help work .....
In fact these steps are well written in our Indian culture in many old books , by different philanthropists , Saints and psychologists .... We have totally forgotten this in our city culture , nuclear families and we are people who keep complaining about lack of skills , innovation and passion .
How passion and skills will be developed , unless they see the world , see the inequalities , see the challenges to even survive .... Todays generation has tremendous amount of talent , skills and energy . We are lagging to channelize and expand it gradually , progressively ....
Can we think ....?
Thanks ,
