O2 ADDED TO CAMPUS MAL AIR !

The couple of news on which my eyes got stuck today,early in the morning,with a cup of tea in my hand has “literally”got me refreshed as both of the news have been looming on my mind for rest of the day.
One was the effort to nip the adolescent smoking in the bud by making use of the zero period,ie,usually designed for extra curricular classroom activities,and the other was deployment of the civil dressed policemen in the campus to curb ragging(periodically) and drug peddling and other antisocial activities.The programme has found its first footing in New Delhi and Chennai and the latter one in Himachal Pradesh Educational institutions.
The recognition of the problems and endeavour to mend it reaching into the core of the menace must earn some applause for the law enforcing agencies,the ministers,public health foundations etc.Taking liquor,drugs,smoking seems possible to be brought under control for the teenagers as this evil practice starts hardly from class VI or VII due to an urge to quench their curiosity.So if at the onset of such thinking,teachers can lay the bars in their brains with strong foundations(with everyday session),then such thoughts cannot breach into their mind.But what is more alarming and seems non rectifiable is the ragging.If we analyse the reasons for which the seniors commit such inhuman atrocities on their juniors,we will find it is not them,but the education system which is to be blamed.I vindicate the wrong doers based on the fact that its the materialistic education which has taught them no ethical or moral values.Otherwise students of such elite institutions like IIT could never beat their juniors to death.i can site few of the examples successively happened within one month of 2003 that came into limelight...such as:IIT Delhi expelled five senior students for they were found indulged in ragging of a fresher,who left the college as a dishonourly consequence.in few days a student of pune Institute quit being compelled by some alike situation & in the same month (august) gruesome incident took place in an engineering college in Jalpaiguri where the victim was admitted to a hospital after being subjected to a night long physical torture (by iron rods and cycle chain)carried out by some drunken seniors on refusal to strip before them. Millions of students of India are not taught the basic philanthropic and moral values.Academic qualification,alone,is of no value.Our education system has completely failed,from hoary past to cultivate good citizens.

Thus this problem is deep rooted as a man’s character starts building up from the nursuries.we know that the whole architecture of the system can not be reformed overnight.so its better to start the initiatives in our homes to impart a lesson on humanity to our 'today' than to wait for some miracle to happen 'tomorrow'.a healthy start is what needed very badly right now as it is the only persistent solution i can envisage.

However the strict vigil that the government has planned to arm the institutions,now, with may serve the cause for a few while.But still commendable.
