The IITs are defying the
suggestion that there should be common all India entrance test for these
Institutions whereas the management is of the other view. There has
been little public response on this debate so far as the fate of
thousands of our brilliant students hangs in balance. The IITs have
often been accused of not sensitizing their outgoing Post graduates to
serve Indian masses. Rather, fresh graduates/post graduates prefer to
serve either the foreign government run/private institutions/ organizations
or the blood sucking Corporates registered in those affluent countries.
India remains as technologically poor and a heavy importer of
technologies as ever at great cost. The IITs have defied all hopes of
making India a technological power and R&D hub of technologies that
are within reach of Indians and in making the lives of the people easier
and comfortable in a cost effective and affordable manner. But the
freshers and their teachers think otherwise and have no concern with the
social goals and objectives of the successive governments ever since
1947. They have also falsified the Nehruvian vision of the social face
of technology vs industry. Of course the IITs have been evasive about
accountability. What use is the talent and training of the students in
the IITs if it cannot be deployed in national interests? The public must
support Mr. Sibal in taming the IITs and must see that they first serve
our own people that living a luxurious life under the corporate foreign
companies amazing salary structures. I am also amazed as to why my
friends have been least concerned about my posting on this issue in the
last four days!
