In English
Education must be for the well-being of the society
Is this the mark of true education? No. Efforts must be made to eliminate such feelings. Moreover, all that is learnt must be utilised for promoting the well-being of society. All should work for the welfare of society. "" (Let all rejoice in the well-being of all people in the world). "" (Let all possess wealth of all knowledge). "" (Let all be endowed with good qualities). These are three main pronouncements regarding the educated persons. This implies that every student, after completing his studies, should dedicate himself (or herself) to serving society. For this service, one should acquire all the necessary knowledge. Students should have all good qualities. A good student should promote a calm atmosphere wherever he stays. He should be ever prepared to help others These are the marks of a good student. Unfortunately students today are not having any of these qualities. Who is to blame? Not the students. Not the teachers. All in society are responsible. Students do not possess the requisite abilities to pursue the right path. Teachers also lack these abilities. They do not take up the task of moulding the character of students from an early age. To do so they have to train themselves to be ideal teachers. When the teachers lead an exemplary life, the students will follow their example. There is no scrutiny of how teachers teach or how students study. The Government is spending over .2,000 a year on education. No one knows what the outcome of all this expenditure is. What transformation is taking place in the students? What is their future? No. one seems to enquire into all this. Only money is spent endlessly.
