"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." William Arthur WardIn the olden days, teacher was considered as a provider and transmitter of information. A teacher was considered as an authoritarian over her subject matter and the student regarded teacher as a role model.The young today are facing a world in which communication and information revolution has led to changes in all spheres: scientific, technological, political, economic, social and cultural. To be able to prepare our young people face the future with confidence, purpose and responsibility, the crucial role of teachers cannot be overemphasized. New demands are often placed on the schools in addition to the existing ones, to be equipped with current knowledge and modern methods of acquiring new knowledge. It is teacher's responsibility to see that the student is prepared and is equipped to compete in the current scenario. Time has come when a teacher needs to realize that, " Knowledge is like an ocean- never ending and deep." As teachers, we are just ice-burgs with a small crown over our head.In the dynamic society like ours, the role of a teacher has undergone lots of transformation just as the needs of our students have changed and revolved. As a part of teacher community, we complain and argue saying, "Hamare time pe aisa nahi tha." Or, "Yeh generation lucky hai.", "Yeh bacche teacher ko mante nahin." My question to all my fellow-beings is, " Do you really think that we can buy respect." I feel that as a teacher a student needs to respect a teacher from within. Respect will not come just by students wishing us, getting up in class once you enter, calling us madam. It is necessary that she earns it. A teacher will definitely achieve it if she meets the demands of the student. To meet these demands, the teacher should herself be a learner and ready to transform herself to accept the new roles.Changing roles:1. Facilitator: A teacher needs to facilitate and inspire students for self study and go beyond the text -book.2. Democratic: A learning environment created which is more flexible.3. Emphasis on overall development: Teacher needs to understand specific learning abilities of each individual and try to build the personality of an individual through various teaching learning activities.eg, Role play, debates, seminar and discussions etc.4. Practical oriented: A teacher should plan the curriculum and the course in a way that entails a practical approach. It is essential that teacher provide training in such a way that the matter learnt in theory is applied in real life. This could be achieved through actual experimentation, laboratories, simulation.5. Multidisciplinary approach: A young student may have lots of interests and as a teacher we need to understand and provide time for students to identify their own interests. A multidisciplinary approach will also help the new generation to face challenges holistic way and not in parts.6. Counselor: Students undergo lot of stress. A good teacher needs to understand student's psychology, identify deviations and assist them to cope.7. Technosavy: A teacher needs to understand newer methods in teaching learning activity which would make her class interesting, interactive and sustain the attention of the students.8. Role model: Students look up at the teachers as role models. Time has come when students observe their teachers behavior in all respects. Moral values like respect, punctuality, honesty, sincerity can be only transferred if you as a teacher practice.Thus, it is clear that teaching has undergone evolution with time. Lets learn to face these challenges and transform our outlook to education and help the citizens of tomorrow to create a Better India.

The School of Inspired Leadership, also known as SOIL, is a private business school located in Gurgaon, Haryana, India. It was founded by Anil Sachdev who was formerly the CEO of the consulting firm Grow Talent Company Limited before the consulting business was sold to the American HR Consulting firm Right Management. The name Grow Talent Company was retained and SOIL functions as a unit of Grow Talent Company.“Many leaders like Ratan Tata, Narayana Murthy, Azim Premji among others who I’ve dealt with over the years as clients and batchmates who have inspired me to form a curriculum for students to become future leaders in their own field,” says Anil Sachdev, Founder & CEO, SOIL. The B-School was established by a consortium of 32 companies including Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), Infosys, Birla Group, Dr Reddys, Hindustan Unilever, Infosys, Johnson and Johnson, Kohler, Larsen and Toubro, Mahindra, Max, Maruti Suzuki, Nokia, SAS, SAP SRF, Schneider, Symphony, Tata Steel, TVS Motors, Volvo-Eicher among others. The school faculty that are mostly from the corporate world coach some of the top leaders of the company on leadership. Sachdev himself has coached LIC and IRDA top executives. “The industry consortium’s involvement is what makes us who we are. They have been part of our visioning and have helped us through each stage of growth in the past several years. They joined hands with us to literally ‘co-create’ a business school that addresses the needs of corporate India,” says Sachdev Forty per cent of the entire curriculum focuses on spiritual learnings, yoga, travelling to spiritual places. It encourages students to work for social development as every week a student is mandated to work with a non-profitable organisation (NGO). “With so much corporate corruption around we teach our students to be honest and ethical,” says Sachdev. SOIL is now opening another institute in Manesar that will under graduate to post graduate courses on Design Thinking, Innovation and Entrepreneurship among the regular Masters in Business Administration (MBA). The other university will be established in Pune in the next 5 years.

The IITs have seen a marginal rise in the number of girls joining in various courses this year too, from 8 per cent last year to 9 per cent in the current batch. Though, in absolute numbers, girls on the elite institutes' campuses have gone up by 40, compared to 2014, gender disparity continues to be a problem. Of the 9,974 students allotted seats in 18 IITs in the first joint seat allocation process, only 900 are girls, according to a report in The Times of India. While 102,385 male students registered for the IIT Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) advanced 2015 exam, 96,895 actually appeared and 23,407 passed. Of the 22,355 girl students who registered, 20,342 appeared and 3,049 cleared the exam. Girls accounted for 11 per cent of those who found a place on the merit list. Aditi topped among women, with an all-India rank of 7. Only five girls made it to the top 100. IIT aspirants have to clear two-phased JEE (Mains) and JEE (Advanced) exams to gain entry into the elite institutes. The girls' academic performance, too, has shown an upward trend over the last few years. However, social scientists believe that girls are not encouraged by either their parents or the social system to get into engineering. They are more opt for medical or humanities subjects. Professors attribute the poor representation of girls on engineering campuses to the mindset of people. Quoting Pradipta Banerji, director, IIT-Roorkee, the newspaper reported that girls are poorly represented only in the undergraduate programme, though their success percentage is usually on par with boys. Additionally, girls have fared much better than boys in this year's CBSE class XII examinations, where the overall pass percentage stood at 82.66 per cent. The pass percentage of girls stood at 88.52 as compared to 78.27 per cent for boys. BW | Businessworld’s latest issue focus on workplace respecting the dignity of women, and where male colleagues don’t treat it as a sexual hunting ground. A good work environment, where women colleagues don’t live in fear of being hounded and harassed, will logically be a more productive place too. The start-up wave in this respect comes as a breath of fresh air. It is breaking gender barriers and providing new opportunities to women to become first generation entrepreneurs.

Delhi government plans to push vocational education for school children in a big way. Simar Singh reports“Our dream is to make Delhi a knowledge hub of leadership in the next four and a half years,” said Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in a blunt but ambitious speech at the Capital’s India Habitat Centre on Wednesday (19 August). In the interactive session on ‘Making Delhi the Knowledge Hub of India’ which was organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Sisodia made a case on the need to make a paradigm shift in the approach to education, inviting participation from the industries. Taking a jab the central government’s “misplaced” focus on creating facilities like toilets, Sisodia said that that was only “the first and not the ultimate step” calling for an emphasis on research to develop techniques and programmes to strengthen education and make it more valuable. “Before this event I was at an education policy meeting where there was just talk of mid-day meals and giving out sanitary napkins to girls in school, which is undeniably important, but there was no talk about policy and where we want education to go,” he claimed. In line with the country-wide skill development wave, the Delhi government plans to push vocational education for school children in a big way, with plans to roll out a programme this September, and will announce the Delhi Skill Development Scheme sometime this year. Sisodia also spoke about the state government’s ‘Be a Teacher’ concept which wants to draw successful personalities to take a few classes. President Pranab Mukherjee, as a part of this, is expected to teach a government school class on the eve of teacher’s day to “honour the teaching community”.

If the FTII protest continues, future aspirants will be left with no option but to turn to private film academies, writes D.P. Sharan With the intervention of Congress Vice-president Rahul Gandhi and political activist Yogendra Yadav into about two-month old students' strike in the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), the unrest on the campus is unlikely to be resolved soon. If striking students are encouraged with outside political support, the Government has virtually refused to succumb to political pressure from the opposition. But the pertinent question about the locus standi of the striking students to oppose the appointment of the head of the institution, Chairman Ganjendra Chauhan, that has been duly made by the Union Government, and the determined stand of the Government against their demand - remains unanswered. Indeed, the striking students are enjoying support from Bollywood veterans while the Government has its own justification in denying the removal of Chauhan from his post. But is Bollywood in right earnest about expressing concerns about the students' careers? Or, is the Government steadfast in its denial merely to protect the interests of the institution? Interestingly, if the students claim that Chauhan is not qualified for the post, their supporters from Bollywood - barring a few - have hardly any right to beat their chests in righteous indignation for the wellbeing of the students as they are neither products of the FTII nor do they know functioning of the institute. Most of them, in fact, have strongholds in Bollywood due to their family background and they never required to be taught about film-production from FTII. On the other hand, there are lapses on the part of the Government that it did not go for the best possible option it had while appointing the Chairman to the institution. If the official reply to the query under the RTI Act is to be believed, the Government had innumerable choices that included the names of film industry's stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Amir Khan, Rajnikant, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Jahnu Baruah, Raju Hirani, Adoor Gopalkrishnan, Ramesh Sippy and Govind Nihlani besides that of Gajendra Chauhan for the post of Chairman of FTII. The Government preferred to remain silent about why the big names were set aside. As per the 281-page official dossier - made available by RTI which included detailed resumes of stalwarts of Indian Cinema - a single paragraph resolution was all that was shown to justify Chauhan's appointment. The resolution envisages that Chauhan played the role of Yudhisthir in B.R. Chopra's TV serial Mahabharat and acted in about 150 movies and 600 TV serials. Details about his educational and professional qualifications were, however, not provided by the Government under RTI. As far as implication of the present stir is concerned, neither the students nor the Government will reap any benefit without an amicable truce. While the students - who are presumed to have received political support - are unlikely to develop cordial relations with Chauhan even if they reconcile to withdraw the agitation under duress, the Government will suffer a major loss of face if it has to succumb to the pressure from the opposition and replace Chauhan. The stir, however, will satisfy the ulterior motives of forces aspiring to gain political mileage and a professional edge as well. Rahul Gandhi has already pledged to lend all out support to the demand of the students and if the Government succumbed to the demand of the students, it would implicitly provide impetus to his arduous attempts to sway the youth. Apart from the political support being lent to the agitation, possibility of a well-hatched conspiracy to reap professional benefits in the garb of standing by the stir cannot be ruled out. The FTII is supposed to have been a stumbling block in the growth of different private film academies situated in the country and abroad as well. Since this Government-owned premier institution offers cost-effective courses to aspirants in particular, it poses a major threat to the survival of these private film academies. In comparison to Bollywood veteran Subhash Ghai-owned Whistling Woods International Film Institute and New York Film Academy, FTII offers attractive courses at low costs. In fact, FTII receives Government grants while WWI and NYFA have to manage with their own resources instead. If FTII official records are to be believed, about four lakh students appear every year for admission in the institution. Although FTII is unable to accommodate most of the aspirants for want of infrastructure, private film academies fail to cash-in on the situation by wooing those who are denied by the FTII owing to the high cost of their courses. If agitation in the FTII prolongs, future aspirants will be left with no option but to turn to private film academies. Striking students are, however, presumably not only enjoying political support to continue with their stir but they are being provided with financial aid too from outside the campus to maintain a status quo for obvious reasons, a senior official at I & B Ministry believes. A veteran film producer and chief of a Government-owned film regulatory body requesting anonymity claimed that "private film academies are such temples where gods have not yet descended and as such, the interests of FTII must be protected at any cost for future of the film industry." Former Information & Broadcasting Minister, Manish Tewary contended: "It is onus on the Government to protect its premium institutions and it cannot run away from its responsibility to restore amicable academic atmosphere on the FTII campus as such."

Why are B Tech placements in most of the private colleges consistently becoming worse? Neeraj Pathak explainsReaders, by the time you read this article, I am sure you must have flipped through at least half a dozen news items on start ups' and billion dollar valuations of companies started by people in their early 20s, most of them B Techs. You might also think there couldn't be a better time than now to get an engineering degree. It is partly correct but mostly incorrect. Amidst the startup party season, here is the real story of the average engineering graduate which is missing the headlines and needs to be told. This story is of confusion, pessimism, wasted talent and depression. Meet Saurabh, a 2012 B Tech from a Greater Noida based engineering college. When he joined the college in 2008, his yardstick to select the college was based on the placement figures the college boasted off in its advertisements. Guess the number! It was 100 per cent campus placements. Years passed by and parental pressure started to 'set in'. Cut April 2012- His father called him up from Varanasi and enthusiastically asked," So, how many companies are coming to the college? I heard TCS, Infosys, Tech Mahindra are big campus recruiters. It will be great if you could land up a job with Infosys, we will also get to visit Bangalore" That year, none of the above mentioned companies visited his college. Rounds of heated conversations, strikes, dharnas and mass bunks resulted in a meeting with the head of placements of his college. Students efforts to build pressure on the management yielded some results-albeit., too little and too late. They were fleeced into attending pool campus events and fake companies. As expected, pool campus did not get him through even a screen test which was hastily done by the organizing college and shady offers most students did not opt for. On one hand, his father had set high expectations and on the other he was crumbling under pressure of his inability get a software job. As I write this article, this is the situation majority of our engineering graduates are facing right now. Last week, when he visited our office in search of a job opportunity, I overheard his conversation with one of my team members and resolved to help him find a suitable job that befitted his qualification and aspirations. With some efforts, I was able to help him get a job as a business analyst with an industry chamber in Delhi. I asked him to meet me in a week's time since his joining that job. He came in and said," I have quit that job too". I was speechlessness and said," what! you left that job in less than a week? It gave you a stable career with a handsome salary and you quit? It is so unfortunate, 3 years you have been jobless, when you get a decent one, you leave it. Tell me why!", I was fuming at Saurabh. With a blank and expressionless face, he explained," I am a B Tech; I did not find the job interesting enough. I want to get into a technical, "coding" job. I want to have a great work environment and these things were missing in that office. It was dull and I just don't want to live my life that way." Saurabh is again unemployed and like always, may join another BPO in a few days’ time as a stop gap arrangement in his quest for a software job. Saurabh epitomizes the ailment we suffer as a society. Job seekers, their parents, peers etc who influence career choices are inflexible about emerging job opportunities. So there are jobs in business intelligence, consulting firms, sales & marketing and new age startups which have no inhibitions in trying out with freshers and non MBA students. The essential skill sets for most of these jobs are a person's ability to be logical, being solution oriented, target driven and being very agile to situation. The question which emerges is that why are B Tech placements in most of the colleges (private) particularly, consistently becoming worse? I was also curious to understand this. I met the campus placement heads of one of the IT companies mentioned above. He pointed out three reasons for it. 1st: Lack of quality student pool in most of the colleges. 2nd: Automation taking over jobs done by humans in a steady manner. 3rd: The HR decision makers in companies preferring certain colleges over other campuses for reasons best known to them. He explained," My boss bought a car within 3 months of our campus placement process which is unthinkable vis-a-vis the salary that he is paid. So you can understand where the money comes from." The appetite to accept reality is seldom strong but job seekers and their parents/family must understand they need to decide and decide fast. Quality of jobs and kinds of jobs are swiftly transforming and candidates who do not join the 'bandwagon' on time are in for very tough times. It is also important to understand that to start somewhere is better than not to start anywhere. Job seekers should join companies, ideally in 3 months of completing their degrees and if the job is not matching their desire, they should up-skill themselves through week end programs, intern-ships etc so that they are in sync with their goals and have some credentials to show whenever they get a relevant job opportunity. We are producing close to 1.5 million B Techs every year, almost 50 per cent of them are in Saurabh's situation. Think! Neeraj is the head of communications and knowledge alliances at Map My Talent consulting. He thrives off of making people feel empowered, inspired and get better careers. Most days, you can find him solving hiring problems for corporate and young job seekers get deserving careers. Twitter: @mrneerajLinkedin: neeraj Pathak map my talent

Sutanu Guru analyses how politicians fanned regional chauvinism and an anti-English mindset to destroy the lives of studentsIIT Roorkee has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. First came the news that it had expelled 73 students who failed to meet the basic academic performance criteria. After a messy court battle came news two days ago that IIT Roorkee has agreed to take back the students provided they fulfil academic criteria in the future. Then Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani told the Rajya Sabha on August 5 that 2,060 students had dropped out of the 16 IITs between 2012 and 2015. Similarly, 2,352 students dropped out of the 30 NITs in the same period. More revealing was the fact that the dropout rate of 30 per cent at IIT Roorkee was the highest. There are more “revealing” facts. A story in the Indian Express today says that 90 per cent of the drop outs are students who got admitted on quotas reserved for SC, ST and OBC students. An overwhelming majority of these students found their lack of English comprehension skills to be an insurmountable barrier. Most of these students at Roorkee are from Hindi heartland states and gave their Joint Entrance Exams in Hindi. But since virtually all teaching, reference material and interactions at IITs and NITs are in English, these students simply fail to cope. Virtually all the students expelled by IIT Roorkee and then taken back belong to this category. There is one such student who obtained 92 per cent in English in his board exams in Rajasthan and finds the English spoken in the classroom incomprehensible. There can be a debate on the elitism that prevails in these institutions of higher learning. There can also be debates about caste and class discrimination of the subtle and brazen variety that denies these students the opportunity to craft a career of their dreams. There can even be a debate on improving the efficacy and effectiveness of affirmative action in India. All that would be worthwhile. But who is really responsible for the plight of these students from Hindi heartland states? It is the politicians who are the real culprits, aided and abetted by “mother tongue” enthusiasts and activists. Between the 1970s and 1990s, two generations of politicians proclaimed their love for Hindi and publicly disdained English as an Imperial language. In states like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, effective and basic teaching of the English language virtually vanished from the schools. The end result was a few generations of youngsters who lacked even the basic communication-written and spoken-skills in English. For long, these youngsters kept getting hoodwinked by politicians who kept thumping regional and language chauvinism. Of course, the same politicians ensured their own children got the best of “English” education. So the current chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav was busy getting taught in “English” medium institutions in Karnataka and Australia when his father Mulayam Singh Yadav was publicly scorning English and computers. It is only after a brave new world of opportunities that opened up after the 1991 economic reforms that parents and youngsters realized they had been taken for a royal ride. None of these Hindi heartland students could get call center jobs because they lacked basic English skills. For that matter, they failed to get jobs as assistants and sales persons even n malls and super markets that sprung up across India; or in the tens of thousands of upscale restaurants and hotels that started catering to a growing middle class. Almost overnight, “English” coaching classes sprung up all over India. Today, even maids and drivers try their best to ensure that their children attend a “convent” school where English is the medium of instruction. But in the process, millions of young Indians from Hindi heartland states found themselves cut off from a booming world of new job opportunities. The lucky ones who had learnt English earned Rs 30,000 a month at call centers. Their friends who failed to learn even basic English became security guards earning maybe Rs 6,000 a month. The plight of the IIT Roorkee students is no different. Look at the irony of it. A student gets 92 per cent in English in the state board exams. But once inside a class room at IIT Roorkee, he can’t even understand what is being spoken. The author doesn’t agree with language chauvinists who insist that primacy must be given only to the “mother” tongue. They always point out Germany, France, China, Japan and South Korea to show these countries have done exceedingly well without English. Well, the fact is that there is just one language that is overwhelmingly dominant in these countries. In India, there are more than 30 “dominant” languages. Hindi was tried as a “national” language. Mercifully that imposition failed; and it is Bollywood movies that have done more to spread Hindi than chauvinistic north Indian politicians and activists. To be sure, take pride in your mother tongue and ensure it is taught well in schools. But please also ensure English is taught, and taught well in schools. It is nice to talk about Skill India and the demographic dividend. But without English, that will remain hogwash and a pipe dream.
