My Motivation
Hailing
from a typical rural background, I had an opportunity to witness dynamic twists
of students and youth in my area. The abysmal paradigm of pupil in my village
provoked me many times. Many of them either dropped out or their career went
awry mainly owe to the family circumstances or due to low exposure to sublimed
thoughts. It was a usual sight most of they ended up with the conventional
boundaries of career.
This mis-links were
apparent; lack of nutrition, no effective parenting, defects in educational
approach. There were exceptional cases where people broken their boundaries to
fly above limitations. It was through right vision they provided with at
some point of life. Education is globally hailed as a catalyst to remove
darkness. But right education must be offered to ignite minds of young
children. A right mix of nutrition, effective parenting, motivated teaching and
skilling is required. It is a participatory approach to ensure overall
development of an individual for long term benefit of the nation.
I happened to see,
my people are limited in employability skills like Communication, IT and
parents, parents are consistently failing in their role to build the career
edifice of their children. At the utmost despair, teachers still revolve around
the conventional wall of education.
Even
though from an ordinary family background, I had the fortunate to interact with
some great minds at my undergraduate times. Eventually, my thoughts drowned
into the nuances of life and career, which made me to be philosophical. I
realized that our premises and nurturing have a critical role in the overall
development. Beyond, a practical spirituality moved me to a more elevated
direction. It is an added advantage to
be blessed with a mentor. The need of the hour is an ideal mix in education to
bridge the prevailing lacuna. Our education ideology needs to be the mutual
existence of effective parenting, nutrition, equal opportunity to education,
skill based learning, and aptitude oriented career selection. The teaching fraternity,
course content and methodology of learning also to be in par with this
objectives. I am passionate to work in this direction.
Career Interests
Currently
I completed my doctoral thesis and work with the skill development mission of
Govt. of Kerala. I had a unique opportunity to meet thousands of students and
youth where I utilized my space to sow seeds of development thought. However,
beyond mere reading, our philosophies must be backed by scientific evidence.
Such scientific strategies and interventions can create catapulting effect
among youth. This requires more exposure and guidance from right people.
Working with people/organization in this line will help me to spearhead changes
in education sector with much vigour.
Being an individual working in this sector and passionate to introduce
change, developing new scientific methodologies and adopting emulating success
stories can have a pivotal impact in the education system. It is not as special
cases, but as widely accepted model. I firmly believe that
Vision India Fellowship will be a guiding force for me.
If I am not selected
If I am not
selected, I will remain in this sector and continue with my pursuit for
excellence. I will find more time to read, listen and travel to see changes in
the education sector. Whatever I observed and imbibed will pass over to others.
I will keep my priority to do a post-doctoral programme from a reputed
university abroad. Surely with an intention to back to my community and work
for the betterment of my fellow beings.
