…it’s not the strongest of the species that survives, nor is it the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”

– Aimee Mullins paraphrasing Charles Darwin

Adaptability

Our education is based on outdated syllabus & citations.

Colleges cannot change the syllabus though need is felt.

Practical aspects are neglected. Corporate world is very glamorous , polished &

ruthless After Training even fresh graduates get better

placements Corporate do not have to provide Entry Level

Training Creates Employable work force from day One Creates Productive work force from day One

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:-

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?“

.

The survey was a huge failure..

In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant. In India they didn't know what 'honest' meant.In Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant. In China they didn't know what 'opinion' meant. In the Middle East they didn't know what 'solution' meant. In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant. And in the USA they didn't know what’ the rest of the world' meant!
