In this era the economic development of any country is mostly dependent on the technological advancements and innovations. So it is inevitable that the students pursuing their academic careers in the field of engineering and technology are mostly to be looked upon. But unfortunately our country India has not succeeded much in producing excellent innovators and technologists. Why it has happened so? I think it is because of this crowd following attitude of our people that has lead us to this situation. From many instances I have observed one specific trait in those parents who want their children to opt for engineering as a career is that they think that their children as engineers will be a matter of vanity for them which they can talk about when they socialize with their friends in a club party or in a garden. Most of the parents think that if their son would be an engineer then it would be easy for him to marry a good girl. So are we making good engineers or eligible husbands? Though education plays a very important role in finding good spouse but engineering is not synonymous to education. There are other fields as well which is as glamorous and high return paying as engineering. People of India will have to be aware of the other possibilities through which they can generate a better livelihood than they can do just being an engineer. Another drawback of this trend is that many private institutions have been created to teach engineering but unfortunately they don’t have adequate infrastructure or excellent faculty to support such courses. Obviously engineering cannot be learnt as accounts, literature or economics, sitting in the small classrooms and mugging up the notes. Engineering is much about understanding and finding new possibilities to practically implicate the theories made by Scientists. We need World class Institutions to produce brilliant engineers and such supportive parents who can encourage their off springs to pursue engineering to become inventors so that our country can develop. Equal treatment to both the genders is much heard about topic these days but girls are generally not encouraged to pursue engineering even today in our country. I think talent, ability and efficiency should be tested while recruiting engineers irrespective of cast, creed or gender. So now its high time that we should start viewing engineers as innovators rather than fat salary earners or eligible spouses.
When I first met Taran, I thought, she is a girl of one such kind who might have lots of air in her head. I don’t know why I have such first time notion for pretty girls... It’s my problem.

Nice thoughts Mimansa. But is our education system permit and encourage innovation (Which is one of the most important virtue)? Even do our engineering institutes capable enough to appreciate the underlying root concepts?
