Jammu | Feb 4
Preaching is easier said than done –says and age old adage. And then another proverb says those who preach the most practice the least. It is to be keenly watched whether the Higher Education Minister Gulchain Singh Charak could actually practice what he has preached.
Addressing a function here today, the Higher Education Minister Gulchain Singh Charak has asked the private educational institutes to relax fee structure to accommodate needy, unprivileged students. Why to ask others and why not take a lead and set examples for others.
As Education Minister the clarion call of Gulchain Singh Charak upon the private educational institutions holds massive significance. These institutes enjoy a variety of privileges offered by the government but none of them has any remarkable social responsibility deliverance system wherein the poor and needy students can be given some concessions and benefits.
The Minister has said that the services rendered by private sector in education could bear fruitful results only when its benefit reaches to the needy and poor people of the society. He said this goal can be achieved only by way of relaxing the fee structure and by reserving a quota of seats for these classes. He said that, for this, managements of the private institutions have to take a bold step for the betterment and welfare of the society.
It is wise to believe that the Minister’s one this statement will motivate the owners of private educational institutes and they will come with schemes to help the poor and needy. He should have indeed come up with an example, of course an example of his own. The Education Minister owns a chain of educational institutions and beginning in this direction can be made from his colleges –if at he is serious about his statement.
However, instead of presenting any such roadmap, the Minister said that a meeting would be convened soon to discuss these issues and also address the problems of private institutions running in the state. |
