We should focus on skill base education. Our education system is geared towards teaching and testing knowledge at every level as opposed to teaching skills. “Give a man a fish and you feed him one day, teach him how to catch fishes and you feed him for a lifetime.” I believe that if you teach a man a skill, you enable him for a lifetime. Knowledge is largely forgotten after the semester exam is over. Still, year after year Indian students focus on cramming information. The best crammers are rewarded by the system. This is one of the fundamental flaws of our education system.

Our government is trying to develop skill in India, but today most of the schools focus on academic subjects with little scope for creativity and few or no extra- curricular activities. There is strong focus on examination from an early age. Today's education system tends to emphasize rote learning and memorizing, rather than encouraging independent or creative thinking.
Our educational institutions are focusing on cramming information. Our education system miserably failed in showing the difference between gathering information and gathering knowledge.

Generally, it's after introduction, a new member starts his or her activities. Because, before starting activities a member can have a good picture of FAQ related to the site. Anyhow, you are a well known member now. Cheers.

According to latest news, Maharashtra's minister of state for home, Ranjit Patil said that the Sanjay's date of release from prison is yet to be decided. From this it is understood, the date of release for Sanjay is still hanging in the air.

Sanjay Dutt has number of fans in Bolliwood. All of them are very happy when they heard the news about Sanjay's release from jail. Sanjay's good behaviour in prison is the reason why he got early release from prison. But some people are totally against the decision of government. There are many other prisoners in jail who also behave very well but they are not being released soon. Is it legal?

Modern life system keeps us busy from dawn to dusk. People, after such a hectic feel tired.
Yoga offers a beautiful system known as Chair Yoga designed for Busy Bees. these Asanas can be done during lunch breaks and Tea breaks for much needed Rejuvenation.

Rote learning still plagues our education system. Students direct all their endeavors to score marks. It should be the aim of education system to earn knowledge.

In India the education system has changed with time, in ancient India was having a Gurukula system where Guru teaches the students whatever he could teach. All learning was closely linked to nature and life, and not confined to memorizing some information. Also there was a close relation between Guru and student.
But in modern education system, teaching is only confined to classrooms and link with nature is broken, also the link between teacher and student is not so strong as in the past.

rambabu replied to the topic Yoga for Eye care.
Rubbing the hands and putting on your eyes is one of the methods used for eye caring. The other ways are Blinking your eyes and shifting your view from a distant object to a near by object.
