Good Speech “Commercialization of education”

Good Speech “Commercialization of education”

“Innocent students and hapless parents are victims of commercialization of education”.

Dignified principal, respected staff members and my dear friends. Good morning to one and all present here. Today I stand before you to present my views on “commercialization of education”.

Friends! Now education system has not remained how it was earlier. We all have heard “Don’t run after success, run after excellence” but do we follow these quotes? Wherever you visit either for getting admissions or tuitions, we see 10^th, +2 coaching rs.30,000 PMT coaching Rs.80,000 etc. but these things become burden on parents as well as children. We see number of students sitting outside good colleges or universities for admissions, but the one who shell out more from his/her pocket, gets the golden chance of becoming a student of such a good institute. So, isn’t it commercialization of education?

Today, education has been reduced to a business venture. Today ‘The Great Education Bazaar’ has endangered quality of education. The culprits are unscrupulous merchants of education and tuition tycoons. The victims are gullible students and hapless parents. With the government washing its hands off education slowly but surely, market forces have taken over. Children are the future of our country and education is the path that enhances their talents and takes out the best of it. Such commercialization of education is running the lives of students as well as their hapless parents. Again here poor suffer the most as they don’t have as much money to shell out for getting admissions in higher institutions. So, some initiatives should be taken by the government to help students get good education and to stop the commercialization of education.

Good Speech “Has democracy succeeded as a form of govt. in India?”

Democracy is the form of government of the people, for the people & of course by the people. I am here to speak on the motion “Democracy has succeeded as a form of govt. in India.”

Approx 140 countries of the world have democratic form of govt. India is considered as one amongst the largest democratic countries of the world. Democracy is the form of govt. that elects political leaders from amongst the people by their own majority choice. India has one of the largest and best legislated constitution of the world. Well, pause for a second and revert back. I said one of the best legislated means no doubt our constitution consists great laws, great rules and regulations but when it comes to executive part of the govt., our democracy lags behind. And moving on the third part i.e. judiciary it even lags more behind. I would like to set few instances here. Our constitution has laws like a person who is accused but police is having no strong evidence against him, they aren’t supposed to physically torture him…..but we all are aware what is done!! & also within 24 hours of arrest accused is supposed to be presented infront of the magistrate ..but again ?? these were little instances . Now taking a glance at the broad challenges then our democracy faces challenge of democratic rights, challenge of free and fair elections, challenge of accommodating diversity, challenge of decentralization. Moreover, it has failed on corruption, it is non-attentive to the needs of people , economic growth & development and on this issue if taken a glance at dictatorship and 50 years of comparison  from and of work related to women’s part, literacy rate, unpaid work, decline in child sex ratio, domestic violence and there are numerous other issues on which democracy has failed. One more important point to mention, what has been mentioned in our constitution- India is secular. Terrorist attacks, quarrels and fights amongst religious sects are testimony to how secular our India is. Domestic violence and declining sex ratio are evidence to how equal India is!

Well, that was all on my part of speech! I think, India has superb legislation but its executive and judiciary has long way to work and require amendments, means there is still long way to run and far more long way to win.
