While surfing through today's newspaper, I came across two advertorials; one was about ' teaching people what they want to learn' and the other was about 'reading is fun'.
The former discusses certain issues like imparting training and teaching as to cater to the need of the local people in particular. By reviewing the natural resources and economic potential of the state, it figures out some subjects appropriate to meet local issues. Further suggesting their inclusion in university curricula is the best part of the article. With special citation to some of the courses offered by KIIT and KISS, Orissa, it justifies the importance of 'extending education to marginalized sections of the society'. Orissa, home to many ethnic tribes falls way behind many other states in this regard. Thus, introducing courses like carpentry, tailoring, food processing, gardening floriculture pisciculture and animal husbandry would supplement to the much matter of fact kind of education system.
The later speaks about and event 'One nation reading together' where children in schools across the country will spend 30 minutes (preferably at 12 noon) on the designated day reading for fun, and doing other activities that celebrate reading as a pleasurable and enriching experience. The undenying importance of reading, if realised, would bring lots of healthy development in students at large.
At a point of time,when children are more inclined to social networking sites and video games, reading habit has become almost extinct. This effort, i believe , would certainly germinate the interest among many children to adopt reading as their favourite pass time.
