Let's Read For Future

                                                        


    LDC-MSE job aspirants are awaiting their result of written examinations held on 27th and 28th in the previous month. As the questions of both written test were rather based on current affairs and GK, most of the candidates are not in good expectation. Though the cut off mark to qualify the written test is 40 for ST candidates, the answer key provided by the LBS reveals that the expectation of most of candidates is in vain.
    Lack of reading and poor world awareness is the main reasons for ignorance and it of course  makes a man ignoble. As our geographical alienation, literature and media are too alienated to us. Even now in 2014 we don't have any news paper, and our people are reading the tattered news papers from Kerala or somewhere else. Have you thought of this crisis before? Being an Islander each one of us should think about it because Medias are the source from which we get the information about everything around us.
    There are public libraries in all islands but the books are always in dust. There are some books about Lakshadweep history and its roots, but these are ‘untouched’. ‘Dweepolpathi’ is one of the authentic sources about Lakshadweep history and its geographical details, but if we ask librarian to bring, he may scold us because those books are alien to him too. If we go to library, we can see the empty chairs and the dusted tables. Our libraries are contrary to the words of Jawaharlal Nehru “libraries are the factories from which Intellects born”. 90% of World Knowledge is written, unless we read our expectations always will be in vain.

Evaluation of last decade

      Everywhere our people talking about politics on the basis of their parties and the politicizing the whole is getting intense. But there are few apolitical people, they are talking about development. Last decade had witnessed two general elections, so we had two spans of years and two MPs as well (PP. Koya 2004-2009) and Hamdulla (2009-2013). We have three fields that the development is needed essentially, these are Medical, Education and Transport respectively, though the transportation sector is getting enhanced, the other two fields are remaining unenhanced.  The reasons behind the worse transportation problems are not any other factors but it is other two fields of course (Medical and Education), if we had fulfilled these two fields, we could meet the transportation problems.. 
    We are approaching 2014, development doesn’t meant urbanization or westernization but it is the modernization of all fields, for instance, Education, Medical etc..  Still we don’t have any medical or engineering college as our own; still our students are flown from Islands to somewhere else for gaining education. Centres of Calicut University came to exist in our islands when in PM. Sayeed’s epoch, it was a decade ago course started in Kamath, Andtoth and Kavaratti islands. Why didn't our government approach any other universities for further colleges and educational institution? Being a Union Territory, we could start affiliated colleges from any Central Universities.
