Education Is Not About Grades, But Gaining Perspective, Says Nirmal Singh Lotus


Nirmal Singh Lotus believes that education is not about getting a degree, but sadly that is all what todays’ youth values. Knowledge is not just about getting into a good college or doing a good course. Hemant Kulkarni says that the youth today lacks the basic essence of education, their focus is restriction to the competition and they are just trying to beat the competition. Though, seeing the cut off percentage of the colleges in the past years, it can be said that the students have been doing exceedingly well now but this kind of education is not going to help in either the development of the country or the students’ personal growth.

Nirmal Singh Lotus says that unlike the common belief, the grades do not measure the intelligence of the students, it is your passion that helps one succeed for fail in his/ her field. There are so many people who do not get any formal education but are still the masters of their craft. If someone is dedicated towards the work that they do, they can become an expertise in their chosen field without getting proper education in it. It is as simple as our elders say, life is the best teacher, the more you work in a particular field, and the more familiar you get with it, and in the process you learn whatever you need to.

The growing rate of employment is a serious cause, and everyone in the country, be it the youth or the government, is worried about it. “If Students start focusing on getting knowledge and about learning new things rather than just passing the examination, the rate of unemployment would still not affect their careers. Why? Because the student has proper knowledge and exposure in his field and no matter what the situation is, they would be able to make their life out of it,” says Nirmal Singh Lotus

It is quite interesting to see that with the advancement in the technology, the youngsters are now opting for a more creative career. 

Nirmal SinghLotus says that this is a very good sign, it means that students now value knowledge over anything else. But this should not be taken as an excuse to escape from studies. Basic knowledge about any field is important for you, regardless of the fact you make a career out of it or not.

Nirmal Singh Lotus says that the students should be given proper guidance and counselling on this subject. It helps them regain their perspective and also builds a communication gap between them and their parents due to a difference in choice.

Multitudes Apply For NEET Coaching Centres

The Centre makes it mandatory for all aspiring medical students to appear for and pass the NEET exam, and that sees a number of seat aspirants thronging to the coaching centres. Until recently, coaching centres only catered to CBSE students but since now the state students have to pass the exam to be eligible to appear for medical seats, the numbers had incredibly shot up. “We haven’t started classes yet. We’re still enrolling students but there is almost a 50 per cent increase in number of students enquiring,” said an owner of a coaching centre in West Delhi. Many-a-places, there is a limit on the number of students per batch so even if the number of aspirants increase, it still would not see a change in the number of students in the class. “We only take a maximum of 45 students, so we’re not accepting any more. But this time, the volume of calls I turned down was much higher than last year,” said the director of Pioneer Academy, Raja Rajasekaran. Most coaching cen...
