The dismal state of today’s higher education especially in engineering courses in India itself is very much alarming. There are almost two million students getting enrolled in various engineering courses in government and private colleges. It is estimated that 1.7 million engineering graduates are produced every year and keeps adding in to the numbers year after year, which is more than the USA and China combined.

AVENUES IN JAPAN 

Students  in  the  state  have  been  encouraged  to  learn  Japanese   language,  as  job  avenues  would   be  open  for  youths.  The  State  Government  had  in  this  connection come  to  a  conclusion  with  the  Asian  Development  Bank  in  encouraging  the  youths  and  students  in    various  institutions for the introduction of “Language Course  and  Skill  Oriented  Training”.  This would  open  up  the  scope for  a  wider  range  of  education  and  also  at  the  same  time  provide  gainful   job  opportunities  in  the  different  industrial  units  existing   in  Japan.   Educational  institutions  in  the  state  have  therefore  been  asked  to  take  interest  in  the  Japanese  language  course   for  inclusion  in  the  curriculum  of  the   institutions.  The  youths  already  have   talents,  which  can  be  further  sharpen and  shaped  according  to  the  needs  and  requirements. The Asian Development Bank, besides  would  explore  other  avenues  of development in the state including agriculture, road construction horticulture, food  production,  health,  general  education  and  sports.

The plague of reservation is failing to produce proficient citizens in this developing nation. Political parties have harvested its profits for their own benefit and not for whom it was introduced which is very much evident in every election manifesto of different parties. Indian constitution was adopted by the republic of India in 1950, where it is enacted that reservation should be given for those who were left out of society due to caste based discrimination. It was based on the principle enshrined in the constitution for equal opportunity. Although, initially the time frame was fixed for a period of 10 years, however it has been elasticized more than six and half decades by now either due to social reasons or to reap political mileage. Instead of thinking of its abolition, new additions are still happening. This reservation system was launched to upgrade poor and backward people living in different parts during and after the transition period of independent India so that, they can come up to a certain level of others. Policy makers of earlier and succeeding Govt. have failed to achieve its value till date. Today the condition is such, instead of trying to lessen the gap, the gorge of this caste based reservations systems is deepening and also spreading amongst the different communities.

EVILS OF SOCIAL MEDIA 

Though  social  media  is  serving  the  interests  for  spreading  faster  information,   yet  there  is  at  the  same  time  the  dark  side  of  misusing  which  include  cyber  crimes. The Martin Luther Christian University in Shillong has created awareness. That in  Shillong  itself  there  are  as  many  as  300  social  websites,   which  are  used  by  specially  the  youths  and  students  in  their  day  to  day  contact,  even  with  friends  and  acquaintances  within  and  outside  the  country.  Social  media  including  internet  have  however  both  positive  and  negative  aspects.  There  is  therefore  a need  today  for  imparting  proper knowledge  and  know  how  among  the  youths  on  the  merits  and  demerits  of  the  social  media.  Besides, there  is  the  Facebook  and  Instagram  facilities  that  have  come  about  but  the  main  concern  is  that  the  youths  should  not  be  misled  in  using  these  media  for criminal  and  other   anti-social  purposes.  In  anything  there  is  always  two  sides  of  the  coin.

She is the supreme manifestation of Naari Shakti: the women power. The entire nation is proud of her. Her name will forever remain in the history of Indian mountaineering.

Why not? Muri Linggi conquered the world’s highest peak Mt. Everest. Just see the indomitable courage of this 40-year old Muri, she trekked the mountain even during the night to cut short her time to reach at the top of Mt. Everest.

At 8 am on May 14, 2018, Muri conquered Mt. Everest after trekking 29,029 feet thus creating a world record. Residing at Roing in Lower Dibang Valley District of Arunachal Pradesh, Muri is the third woman from the state after Tine Mena and Anshu Jamsenpa to achieve this distinction.
