One can easily predict the rising pattern in the number of Engineering Institutes in India and so the Engineers. But yet we lack in the field of technology and research for even solving the day-to-day problems. If there was an unemployment rate of engineers coming out of India, one would be surprised, it is quite high. I have this question in my mind why these engineers can’t put their efforts in transforming India from a developing nation into a developed country.
For example, let us consider our railway system. I mean why our Indian railways are worst in the world in the field of time schedule?
Dated 30.10.2011, I was at one of the Railway zone of India named Bilaspur. It is quite famous for the well-maintained staff and cleanliness in India. As per the regular schedule, all the night staffs were doing their regular job of cleaning the floor, etc. I went to the enquiry counter for checking my train status which was already declared to be late by 3 hours. They simply replied, “Server failed, we don’t have any information right now.”
After an hour or so, one announcement was made regarding the status of all mid-night trains; it declared that out of 9 trains, only 1 was on time, rest all were minimum 5 hours late.
This is not the first time I am facing such a situation. It happens most of the time with us and our family. Even though we don’t pay any attention and always be silent about this type of inconvenience. Either we don’t have any respect for time or we don’t want to take responsibility of challenging the system by entering into it. This decision creates the difference between a Developed country like Japan and a Developing country like India.
We always wait for others to initiate and solve the country’s problem. There is no point sitting in a corner and just criticizing the government. We never plan to become the part of the system and start working towards some good progress in the field of interest.
In my opinion everybody can contribute something for his country and improve the situation.
Then only we can cherish to say “Proud to be an Indian.”
