  It is true that bread winning capabilities have over taken the person's interest and the needs of the society in the field of education. Humanities have suffered a major set back. But in India, still humanities remain the choice of Civil Services aspirants. But the quality of professors teaching Humanities as well as other fields like Law,Engineering studies etc have by and large become very mediocre and the problem may be because of the Reservation policy in India.

  I think culture has a bundle of benefits to offer than technology as far as values are concerned. Social networking and internet may facilitate multiplication of friends by 100 times. But the quality of friendship struck based on shared values can not be matched by the friends earned on line.

  Once we were consuming the Technology, but now the technology is consuming us. Our youth spend hours on TV, Social media, Mobile Phone and Internet -- Youtube, email, chat etc. They have little time to live their life. The new species can be termed " netizens". For them the world exists only in the virtual space. When ...you read the content they exchange , you'll be shocked. It is not generation gap . It is a total disconnect. All these years we have been procrastinating, when our generations were perishing under the onslaught of technology. They are totally disconnected with the real world. When they are forced to connect, they are not comfortable and they get violent or crumble unable to handle failures. Who'll tell them that ---there needs to be a boundary for anything - food, relaxation and entertainment. ----they have to be selective in what they consume. ---they should share the daily chores in the family which itself will enhance their self confidence that they are capable of doing something. ---they have to maintain their fitness by working out and practicing Yoga. ---they have to respect themselves and others. ---they should not feed the animal within themselves and rather chain it. ---they should listen to the voice of their soul which is divine. To sum up when will they realize that they should find out what they need for a healthy and pleasant life than simply chasing whatever they like?

  The teacher's involvement is the most crucial factor. The preparation, delivery methodology, interactions and evaluation - all will follow thereafter. A good teacher affords more care in reaching the students well than the content delivered. If the teacher gives a proper stimulus and make the students get involved - lights the fire - the result will be excellent.
