SHUTDOWN ON EDUCATION
Ravi Nitesh
The continuing curfew and shut downs in valley have become a bane for the people. Infact, it is only youths who bring the change in their generation and can do a lot for the state and country as well as for individual, family and society.
It is education which gives the motivation to youths through light of knowledge through books, institutions and teachers. Now, in the present time situation is so drastic that running an institution is not only a challenge but it may become dangerous for the life of students.
Students are at home and not getting the chance to attend the classes, institutions are closed. Who is responsible for that?
Without proper classes and education, there may be bad effect on the future of students which may affect them psychologically, some may divert on other path, some may loose their interest in studies, some may frustrate due to improper and irregular study, some will not able to understand their books. Result will be the loss of time and knowledge which will adversely affect the life of their own. The matter is not close here, ultimately every citizen is part of nation's overall development and thus it is the duty of nation to bring out fruitful results from everybody by providing suitable environment to develop their skills.
Now, on this part it is total failure of government to provide healthy and peaceful environment to students. We accept that situations are worse there and so there will be some problems but after all general public have no concern about that, they only need a comfortable and peaceful life and they are demanding for that. Now it is the part of government to provide them all these, whatever the process will be.
