It is the teachers/gurus that molds a student and hence college plays a very important role in a student’s life. Dr. T.V. Rangarajan said during the meeting that many youth of India have a perception from out of Indian view with a very small example of an Indian calling Muscat as Middle East. We all know Middle East is Middle East for US. And for India its North West, this is where the problem arises. We have forgotten were our grassroots are and we blindly talk and support the other ideologies. Mr. Vaidhyasubramanian said, the problem itself isn’t a problem, the students today are prepared for Global problems when we can’t even manage our nearby small problems. Only if the college encourage their students to solve small problems then only one can address global problems easily which is sided along with his education equally and hence a very strong India is developed!!
