Another Brick in the Wall

ADAM, the First.

That it’s of Indian origin; its launch will be a proud moment for all Indians round the globe. True that our country has come a long way from the IT outsourcing hub that it was acclaimed to be.
I wonder who should bask in this glory; the enthusiastic minds that dare to think differently or the conventional complacent education system?

I recently got this chance to converse with a MLA about where he thought our education system was heading, especially in context of the recent controversy on the status of deemed universities, mostly due to the sporadic mushrooming of countless number of colleges in just every nook and corner of our country. He could only stoop his head in a sad gesture over the sorry state of affairs. Needless to say, most of these institutes have the aim of amortizing education and the vision of just doling out degrees.

Adherence to quality is abysmally low, both with respect to providing effective learning and also from another point of concern, branding.
I am saddened to accept the fact that a lot many of those running these institutes lack the appreciation of new technology systems. I think this fact just serves as a window into their twisted understanding of Standards.

At Auriga, our vision is to bridge this gap between the technically deprived lots and those with the juju to ‘make it happen’.

Our commitment towards better education is reflected in our initiatives like mentoring SchoolSearch.in, creating ERP’s (enabling the management of student profiles with just one smart-card, right from admission test to valediction; we see this as a means to cut down the rampant red-tapism and use of unfair means ) and well-researched websites for institutes; basically helping iron out the glitches in the smooth management of schools and colleges.

I, like everyone else, am fingers crossed, hoping to find myself on the side of solution to this issue.
For now, Kudos team Notion Ink (and Auriga IT)
