Are we ready for the future?

Are we ready for the future? This question has probably struck each of our minds at a certain stage of our lives. And certainly, for a moment we did question ourselves “Are we actually ready for the future”. Perhaps, I would be right if I say that we aren’t ready for future until we are prepared for it. It’s an apt thought that we are our own destiny creators, we set the goal, create paths and strive hard to achieve them. Like a lighthouse that guides the ship in the same manner we lead the way to our lives.
A snapshot of the YCC Conclave
Gone are the days when a persons’ knowledge was his most influential possession today the world admires those who are informative to a great extent. Talking about knowledge it can easily be acquired by all those theory books we skim through in college or by being good at academics. But is that knowledge enough to get into an industry? The answer Is obviously ‘NO’. Apart from knowledge acquired its necessary to develop skills. Skills that bridges the gap between Academia and Industries, skills that fills up the space of our resume in a way that it appeals to others. Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit, intelligence is to know not to add tomato to a fruit salad.
Well no one is going to jostle you to work on your skills. It’s the concept of inside-out. The initiative or the belief to work on it must come from within which a proactive person can very well relate to.
According to me this generation students do not really have to rely on colleges as we have many other sources to improve or enhance our skills from, when it comes to devlopement of our skills for the practical world. Acquired skills will bring out the confidence and aid us assess problems as challenges. This will not just make a student industry friendly but industry ready too.

By Vandana. S. (Second year Masters in Mass Com, Jain University) Education plays an important role in creating knowledge, in bringing about changes. It is through education, knowledge, information the world leaders were able to bring about change, an evolution of movement for freedom. In today’s world when the literacy rate is so high, people should have been able to bring about greater changes. When we can access to information though different medium, we can bring about revolutionary changes. But rather than that, the institutions, society is limiting the thoughts of students and teaching us to learn only to earn money. How many parents are still encouraging the students to follow their dreams? More than that, how many of them are letting their kids to dream? They just force them to study. Study and score marks. They want their kids either to be an engineer or a doctor. The number of engineering institutions is increasing. In colleges, they offer courses that are commercial, ...
