6 of the top 10 IIT rank holders this year are from AP. Well, this is not something that can be considered to be a feather in the cap for the state. And not only Andhra, most of the Indian states have now begun to take this rusted route. The passing years have seen a severe downfall in the number of students turning their faces towards civil services or politics, or any other line away from the traditional courses. Education has now earned a brand; a brand so tormenting and discriminating that most of us have forgotten that there is something beyond bookish knowledge.
The latest news statistics say that India files over 36,000 patents annually. Whereas our neighbor, China, is way far ahead, filing around 4,00,000 patents yearly. Is innovation being buried in the name of education? Are our brains being injected forcefully with the lethal threads of raw knowledge?
Various movies are being made concerning such topics, debates are being held on the world platforms, and the so called national icons are pledging to bring about a change; but the thing that really matters, or rather, the thing that matters at all is, are WE willing to CHANGE?
We need to think about it!
