Latest Changes In Income Tax Rules
On Saturday, Chief Justice of India Justice N V Ramana emphasised the importance of creating an educational model that teaches students how to deal with real-life challenges and bemoaned the fact that institutions of higher learning were losing their social relevance due to the proliferation of education factories.
After being awarded an honorary doctorate of letters from his alma mater, Acharya Nagarjuna University (ANU), he emphasised that such education should also help to build social unity and make people into valuable members of society.
Justice Ramana added that young people need to be conscious change agents who consider sustainable development approaches. This consciousness must be forward-thinking in your particular disciplines while also taking into account the requirements of our society and environment.
It is time for our educational system to change, he continued. The importance of interpersonal connections and responsible citizenship must be emphasised in our institutions. To provide young minds with the skills and attitudes they need to change our society with awareness and the proper understanding, we should combine our historical baggage with a futuristic vision.
The development of an educational model that teaches us how to handle obstacles in real life is urgently needed. It should make it possible for us to develop social cohesion and produce people who contribute significantly to society. True education should equip people with the awareness of the pervasive problems in society as well as the means to address them.
He emphasised that when our institutions of national importance were established, the only goal was to give everyone a good education geared toward country building.
The CJI recalled how many social movements in the state had flourished on this university campus in the past. In a previous era, when we were students, we had a strong connection to social issues and people's problems. These early connections to social concerns are what influenced our attitudes toward nation-building.
According to CJI Ramana, institutions and their research divisions ought to concentrate on problems that our nation faces and work to provide complete solutions. Universities need to work with famous research and development organisations in addition to developing their internal skills. This will give students real-world experience and promote a culture of scientific inquiry and research.
He also urged the state to actively participate in allocating funds for research and innovation, stating that it would be a sad commentary if we allowed our most important fields of study and research to deteriorate due to a lack of funding.
The CJI stated that while pursuing economic growth, we must not lose sight of our responsibility to preserve culture and the environment, since doing so would be a great dishonour to our roots.
He also urged the creation of a democratic system in which the diversity of identities and viewpoints is acknowledged as well as the development of an inclusive vision of growth.
