Broken Medical Education System
Honourable PM yesterday said that children should not go out for education. Medical education today in India is a mess due to horribly wrong policies. Bonds upto 10 yrs in some states, over 70% reservation, high private fees, iron clad control on private sector by politicians who run the colleges. Pl solve this to stop our kids from going to other countries.

The education system in India is in shambles. For general category middle-class people who dont score 90 and 95+ in exams (which is a large number of smart and capable people), the doors get closed almost everywhere. Choice of career becomes irrelevant and economics and government policies hit you badly at every stage. The pathetic reservation policy we have does not reward merit or capabilities. It rewards a vote-bank or the moneyed people who can buy seats in colleges of choice. Politicians of every genre are responsible for creating this big mess and affecting a sizeable mass of a capable people. There are still a large number of good people who cannot go to Eastern Europe or China as they cant afford that cost either and end up ruining their lives. Why talk about brain drain when basics are not there? IIT/IIM etc have become so elitist that aspirants are told to take a student loan to cover costs. more

While I am in agreement with the general remark of Hon'ble Prime Minister, especially considering the information that there are about 26,000 Indians in Ukraine, most of whom are either medical professionals or medical students, the authorities in concerned positions must also look at the sad state the education system in general and more particularly professional education including Medical & Engineering in India are. The opportunities in Government funded colleges are rare, the costs in Private are so prohibitive that the professionals coming out of such colleges are in search of earning quick money by whatever means possible. In general, there is need to make education affordable and bring down salaries of organised sectors to make services affordable. Honestly, I find that I can't afford medical expenses but for them being borne by GOI to a large extent under CGHS. more

We all (general category) are opposed to the reservation system not only in education but in other areas as well. Undoubtedly, the reservation system since independence has done lot of harm for the nation as also for our society. Initially, the system provided for a limited period with a good intention had been and is being broadly used by all the political parties with their ill fated intention of getting political mileage. Under such a situation, none of the parties would even dare to talk over the abolition of the system only to dig their own graves of political death. If you remember, after the Modi Government came into power, the Congress and other opposition parties suddenly started to create an artificial fear among the beneficiaries of reservation that the new government is averse to the system and actively considering its abolition. Seeing the propoganda creating a feeling of insecurity among such beneficiaries and the opposition parties got hurriedly engaged in molding their (beneficiaries of the reservation system) sentiment against the ruling party, the ruling party had to categorically clarify that they are neither against reservation nor the government had any intention to abolish the system. Reservation is no more need based but to achieve political gains only. more

In a recent newspaper, Indian PM suggested medical students to study in India,than studying in small countries. All Ibdian medical colleges have enough seats. Many seats lay unfilled due to prohibitive fees, reservation criteria and political interference. Condition of job opportunities also an issue due to minority reservations,thus, all qualified talents to move out of the country for their livelihood. Indian youngsters,brilliant talent qualified professionals are lost by the nation,which other countries are benefiting. This situation can be stopped only when government abolish reservation and all opportunities are based on merits. more
