Skill education is the need of the hour

Education has been an inevitable part of human life since the very beginning of creation. If we have a glance on our history, the only men survived who had the skills of hunting, farming, masonry, shooting or carpentry etc. All these are known as ancient practices since decades which were essential for survival. 

With the passage of time, Gurukul(s) came into existence for imparting a specified routine of knowledge to make humans as social beings. But major part of gurukul education consisted of manual labor, moral values, logical brain storming activities and knowledge of scriptures but gradually the impact of modernization and advancement of technology gave birth to luxuries and further luxuries set a back seat for all skill based training in education. 

Thereafter, modern institutions emerged with an ample number of comforts and facilities for students. The respect for teachers/ gurus tilted more towards the care and respect for students' desires and ego. Eventually, students turned more & more brittle (emotionally as well as physically) and adamant. The ambiance of the educational institutions can be seen hugely impacted by the demands of parents for their wards and became less Teacher/ Principal centric. The staff of the schools get all the grinding by their respective managements in order to meet these demands by the parents. 

But the question which arises here is: Did the students become extraordinary intellectuals with the onset of modern education? Answer to that is, obviously No! Moral values, spirituality, life skills, manual labor all got uprooted. The generation gaps crushed the warmth of relations among young and old. Loneliness resides in the hearts of current generation. Today's scenario is a vivid picture of sensitive and vulnerable individuals who break into pieces on the face of very small challenges and commit disasters like suicides and try to run away from the real world. 

Here I would come to my point that if a person is skillful and knows how to take the benefit of even small opportunities, that person is actually full of energy to find the solution even at the time of his/her gloomy days. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to impart skillful education other than just the academics to save the generation as well as the country. It shouldn't be optional for schools, rather it should be mandatory to do so.
