Imphal, August 09 2020:
The Manipur Students' Association Delhi (MSAD) has urged students to explore more beyond the Indian subcontinent for higher education and other opportunities and informed that it has opened a helpline in order to guide the students for any queries throughout the year.
The statement by MSAD mentions that earlier, people of Manipur acquired education from Bengal and then shifted towards the metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai etc.
Only a few were able to educate themselves in countries like China, Japan, Hong Kong, Germany etc, it said.
We have been struggling for our education in a boxed education system of India or Indian Education Policy it stated, adding that it is just the Indian state imposed education system that we have been learning through and no alternate approach has been provided.
Further, the lesson of "giving back to the society" is excluded from the curriculum and that we should study in an education system with which our cultures and tradition can be sustained and progressed, it added.
It encouraged students to explore and not limit to metropolitan cities of India for studies.
There are different universities, different countries to explore which are more closer to us, it said.
MSAD in its statement said it hopes to expand horizon and deepen knowledge where one can understand other places and co-ordinate with people to progress together.
It wishes to help the aspiring students who want to pursue higher education in universities apart from the Indian universities.
For this purpose, MSAD has opened a helpline in order to guide the students.
