Imphal, November 2, 2017 (DIPR): Education Minister Shri Thokchom Radheshyam Singh said that the young minds need to be ignited and link with the research and study for relevance of future. Therefore one has to be innovative and thinking for future to enable to work for betterment of future.
He was speaking as Chief Guest at the Round Table Discussions on Research and Educational Priorities for Transforming North East India at the Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), Takyelpat.
The Minister said that the problems and issues will always keep coming and there is no ready made solution to end them. With the advancement, man is in constant conflict with nature due to its greed causing disturbance by excessive exploitation. He said, to find solution to the problems, research and studies need to be conducted by prioritising the importance.
He pointed out that numerous research has been carried out which could be witnessed daily on the papers but the most important is how far all these research being done has been useful to the people and benefitted the society. He said, when a research is conducted or done, it should be carried out prioritising the subjects and matters that would be relevant for the society and sustainable future and not just for getting a degree. He said, now is the time that the research be done on nuclear energy, solar, the wind and the sustainable resources that holds the key to better future.
The globalisation has made this world a global village the answer on how small states of the north east like Manipur would cope and compete in such situation lies in the research and studies that would be carried out by the youths. He said, prioritising the issues and problems according to urgencies, need to be taught and trained the youths to be able to address the issues on time. For this, having a vision is a must for better and sustainable growth, he added.
Director, IBSD, Prof. Dinabandhu Sahoo said that the discussion is being carried out to transform and enhance the life of people through science and technology. He also said it is to make the research carried out in the laboratories reach the common people specially in the north east and Manipur. (DIPR)
In the higher education sector also,required faculty positions need be occupied with full job security. And maximization of fellowships will certainly enable students to pursue doctoral and post doctoral studies in technological innovation. A subject becomes interesting if applied in advanced infrastructures. Innovation is born of creativity,creativity is born of motivation and motivation is born of enthusiasm and expertise of faculty members. To change the whole system the government needs a strong political will. And I hope Honourable Minister will bring a wonderful change in the system.

To shape students for the future, first we need to change the curriculum sir.
Our entire education system is all about testing how much can we remember from the book.
We study to pass exams not to enhance our intellect.
We need education for nurturing our mind and guidance towards a goal, not to feel like an idiot the entire year. Competition is healthy in today’s time but not at the sake of a child to lower their self esteem.
Not everyone is born to become an IAS officer or engineer or doctor yet the system is directed in such a way that if you are not one these you are a failure. We need to change the system from the basics then only then we will have a solid foundation for the future.
Sir,comment yamna thagtli adubu honourable ministerda hyjaningbi, manipurgi government school girl building ignite tugdbno student ningkhairga sub soidra ,sir going anub plan amata sinbiyu ,
Our boys and girls are captivated in the present system of education. One will find in any school loads of books in bags and bulky answers in the notebooks,waiting to be crammed. The paradigm needs to shift its focus from ‘captive’ to ‘creative studies.
