Reports say three students of an
Ayurveda medical college in Tamil Nadu committed suicide alleging the college
administration of playing with their future. Reports say the students of the
college were protesting bad infrastructure, administration's apathy and
principal's exploitative callousness in the college.
Big promises of a bright future -
like after passing out from a medical college - duplicitously selling practices
like 'Naturopathy and Yoga Sciences' - garnishing them with glamour quotient of
terms like 'medical colleges'..
Apathetic and insensitive college
administration, principal and management - exploitative to the core..
Exorbitant fee - Rs. 6,00,000 in
two years - here in this case - its goes higher easily in higher education
institutions of professional studies - and many sincere students who cannot
secure position in good institutions - but still find education as the only
alternative for their careers ahead - end up in these exploitative institutions
that run like a money-making machines - killings dreams - slaying lives..
They promise skies while giving
you admission but after that the sole focus shifts to collecting fees and
imposing further types of fees and fines to fill coffers..
Many states in India have engineering
colleges with seats running in hundreds of thousands. Their graduates cannot
stand even a sound humanities graduate from a good institution. Similar is the
case of management colleges. These are the two streams that have killed maximum
dreams in India - thus milking the maximum money. Now many colleges are
shutting their door because they are not getting students.
Medical education is relatively a
safe bet for such money sharks that prowl through educational institutions. Because
setting up and running a medical college requires deep investment and regular
onslaught of checks and balances. Even then we regularly come across reports of
poor quality and threats of affiliation withdrawal. That makes allied fields
like 'naturopathy, yoga, homeopathy, Unani and even fakes like
electrohomeopathy' a safer bet for fraudsters or for people from extended clan
of education mafia.
These girls had spent almost Rs.
6 Lakh and they had not completed even the second year. And they had not learnt
anything. And their repeated pleas have fallen on deaf ears. And Rs. 6 Lakh is
a lot for many families in India to arrange - cut or tighten your budget or
borrow - and when you see happening things like this, your impulse can drive
you to take any decision in those desperate moments of despair.
