Thoughts on higher education on science and humanity

Few hours before watched tv debate show , that was on the occasion of Infosys science foundation awards... Of course mr. Murthy was part of the panel .. Here are some of interesting points that I like most from this Science & society debate....

One of award winner said the main reason for him to pursue his dreams on maths is his Family, and he added if he was in India ( he was NRI) that now a days it is either engineering or medicine is the only 2 options. I see that this is mainly driven by the job opportunities.

One of the problem is that the Scientific elite group cut off from real India, need to make sure that people get the message that the Science touches all and it is responsibility of the scientists is to talk about what they are doing.

When problems of the world get more complicated, needs people having science background to understand them and resolve them.

The best part is as follows,

Higher education is about seeing the truth, it's all about debate and discussion with data & facts, it's about questioning the facts, assumptions, bias, understanding what brings balance to the society . Building culture of Freethinking. Appreciating the diversity is key part of school education.

Aim of education is seek truth.

Discussion ended with these lines

Pursue ur passion , do what you like...then you can do better job. ...Push your quest for truth...

After a very long time, I watched a very positive and motivating news channel debate . I think all of us have to responsibility to spread this message to the school students and parents community.
