God ! Kendriya Vidyalayas :    May be OK  for Curriculum & Sylabbi,
but in execution as bad as any.  I have one bang opp: my house and
I am in its committee, my daughter studied in it for 3 years.
Inbreeding that is it.  To my knowledge The Sathya Sai Organization
single handed has done much in : Educational values. They have this
idea first is Morality, then service and love to Society beyond the
call of sectarian outlooks,  Usefullness to family and society,
then higher education.

Indian education is bungled by Govt. an Elephant like creature trying
to teach us all the art of quality embroidery, its only use to generate,
unempolyable, frustrated youth. Its better to be an unedcated labourer,
who laughs at the end of the day with Rs.100/- on hand than a high brow
Nehruvian concept Post Graduate with no job plus unaffordable habits
from the silver screen images !

Teaching Useful Trades is more important, but then the teachers know
to teach nothing more than good old curriculum, salaries, promoations
transfers, private tutions, vacations etc !

Yours truely   S.R.Sathya Kumar
