It is by reference to the article “The restructuring of higher education” Balram Dogra (July 17). The article seems very fast and convenient. The author has made proposals on the basis of his empirical knowledge, as a professional academics. I would like to supplement some of its proposals.

At the time of liberalization, globalization, disinvestment, privatisation and information technology terminology has become a part of the common vocabulary of human discussion and India is a sign to move into the new century, these changes in the eye. Our next generation competition outside the country’s geographical boundaries and social consequences of the opening of world markets. Therefore, India needs to be in step with the changes. Unfortunately, our universities are virtually directionless. Our universities are the places where most students come only because they can not find work after high school or after graduation. Thus, they lack the will and ability to study hard. Indeed, why should they consider if they are not sure to find a job, even after some degree MAS?

Given the toy of this agitation among the young and emerging trends in economic and technological changes in the private sector, various institutions and had a kind of euphoria for the management and computerization courses through electronic and print media . But some of these institutions are not engraved silver. And institutions that have greater credibility rates higher than our poor, but young people are not intelligent can provide.

Given that we are a welfare state, and it is the duty of government to create societies more just and equitable, institutions of higher education should mean that the reorganization of their curricula to do with countries emerging requirements of education. Instead of doing things, they seem to be confused by the presence of various courses by private institutions and because of their own resources cracks, that is from different computers and management courses, with no prospect

The liberalization of the Indian sector of insurance opens up employment opportunities than ever before.

And on the care of youth responsibility, that jobs in this sector, demand management institutions across the country, appear to be aimed - hone help them develop their skills, knowledge base and get ready for the challenges.

Says PK Mohanty, head, Koustuv Business School in the city,”Currently, most institutes are focusing on insurance, banking and retailing.

Given that the main sectors in which the requirement of manpower is the biggest part in the coming years, they are always looking for the best trained people for their business.”

The process has already begun, with some insurance companies, cooperation with institutes of management courses for the introduction of the insurance management.

Icici Prudential, in collaboration with Xavier’s Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB) is opening a 10 - month-PG program in the areas of management and insurance from mid-October. The company also closely linked to other institutions throughout the country as XLRI, IILM and Chennai Business School, to name a few.

According to some sources, in XIMB, the course includes 21 modules, whose outcome, candidates are absorbed by Prudential Icici. But students have opted for the company.

Business schools in India, abseiling in enterprises are companies conceptualise and implementation courses for its students. Motilal Oswal Securities Ltd is the implementation of a course on Equity Research SP Jain Institute of Management, Ahmedabad while the basis of Nirma Institute for the management of the economy has Azure, a Call Center, that is to - conceptualise and behaviour of its current campus. This is part of the concept of the Institute management professionals in the design, development and supply of various management courses.

You do not wait more than 75 to decide on a new leaf. But you can always rely on D Ramachandran spring a surprise. Retirees Additional Director General of Police (State) dared to return to classrooms, and was rewarded with a first class Master of Arts, astrology - another very unlikely, what had happened because he had established Ramachandran, computers in the police force in Mumbai In the mid 70.

The fact that only 12 percent of students who are away from training in astrology Telugu University, Hyderabad, has successfully pointed out that it was not for Cakewalk Ramachandran.

The father-daughter relationship more than their fair share of “conflict”. In addition to the usual haggling about the car of the family and the television remote is the diversity of their tastes in food - Santosh prefer Indian cuisine, while Shirin is the same for the continent, Thai or the Lebanese courts. No wonder Santosh K.F. Kujur is the president of Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission (JSERC), while Shirin has opted for another Off-Beat-career.

As a graduate in the history of Miranda’s house in Delhi University, Shirin one to two years of classes at the Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal, in 1995 and later went to London for university a master’s degree in planning and development of the hotel. Santosh himself a great career. Before the first president of the JSERC, he was an officer of the Indian Audit and Accounts Service (IAAS), where he is to retire last year, when the principal accountant general of Jharkhand. Works currently with the Ford Foundation as a program associate, Shirin, in the past, concluded with the Council of Rajasthan for primary education. Differences in views diverge, the duo share a unique understanding. “Conflicts are natural, but touch wood, there was never something serious,” said Shirin.

It is a doting father, Santosh not its decisions about her daughter. “After studying history, when she opted for a course on forest management, I did not ask to review or revise decision. When I have to Bhopal for examination, I said ‘Let’s give it a try. ” There were only 30 places for the course and a large number of post-graduates had, “he said.

Shirin true. “My parents were very much in support as regards my career decisions. While I was in college, we discussed the various management courses, which I found on IIFM. I never thought about joining a public service, “she says.

While Santosh’s elongated stay in the United Kingdom as commander in chief of the CAG office, the duo traveled to most European countries. While Switzerland Tops Shirin list of favourite destinations, Santosh fondly remembers their trip to the Acropolis in Greece. “The motherland of the Olympic Games was so different from what they show on television,” he recalls.

The only thing Shirin Santosh and may watch television in common is a game of cricket. “I like watching India one-day games,” said Shirin, who likes movies on HBO. Santosh’s area of interest, news and sports.

Santosh playing piano, but Shirin relaxed, although she also loves music, admits that she never gets an idea about the abduction of an instrument. He prefers the old Hindi music, Talat Aziz, in particular, while Shirin, the “hatred” Talat Aziz, has a wide variety of taste - Kishore Kumar on Pink Flyod and classic Heavy Metal.

With time and age, differences and conflicts “reduced. Well, because Shirin has its own car in New Delhi and the household has three television sets, the duo a little because of the excitement among them, even for a little while. Since both like to read Thriller by Alistair MacLean, Jeffrey Archer, Colin Forbes and Robin Cook, it is easier for Santosh simple loan books Shirin purchased and read.

A moment of the daughter of his father and grooming is Shirin’s Day convocation at London University. “You really get an invitation to holiness. I remember when students were asked to contact their parents and said that” you would not be here, but also for your parents, “he recalls. For Shirin, the presence of his father in the convening of the time memorable.
