Sir,
I would like to bring your kind attention to the fact that the Doordarshan channel in my view is our strongest tool by means of which we can bring a positive change in our society.We cannot wait for creeping plan of “Education for All” , to set in and show its effect in matter of decades.Being citizens of this country its your and my responsibility to show the people what they have not seen.While surfing through the web i came across some BBC HORIZONS Documentaries and after having seen most of them i am convinced that they have totally changed my way of thinking and my perceptions towards the world.
A big problem with education today is that students today are not motivated enough to continue their education.Their dreams actually have been infected by the quality of mediocrity of our parent generation.Nobody…not even me and you found being educated interesting because of the monotonous nature of our way of imparting education.So inspite of our best efforts of educating people many drop outs are seen from the school when a sense of economic crisis creeps into ones family.Their are no dreams with the students to help them cruise over the crisis.You might be well aware that today media has an important role to play in determining our secondry needs.Our dreams,our needs and all the things we long for are in a way influenced a lot by the media and advertisements we see everyday.So at your position you have all the power to change India,the way it is today.
