Gyaan ki baat

Today I was asked by someone to answer this question in abt 100-150 words.

"What is your version of education? How can we move towards a knowledge society?"

Now writing unecessary gyaan is something I don't really enjoy. But still, its an opportunity to write some real senseless yet pseude stuff. So this is what i wrote :


Intrinsically, education is built up of two words – knowledge and virtue. Without either of them, education is incomplete.

Quite often, education is misunderstood as a single dimensional variable, supported by academic and professional qualifications. However, education is a much wider term, which aims to mould the thought process of an individual, imbibe in him a set of societal and cultural values and provide him with such academic knowledge, which enables him to contribute towards the development of oneself as well as the society at large.

Moving towards a knowledge society does not mean more text book education. To achieve the goal of successfully creating a knowledge society, we need to broaden the horizon of our thinking and be prepared to absorb whatever we come across in our daily life and learn from them. Apart from this, we should also be prepared to share our knowledge base selflessly with others. A knowledge society can be built if we acknowledge the fact that we remain students all our lives and that each day brings with it a brand new set of goodies, ready for us to absorb and apply.
