Education system in pathetic condition at Indian campuses
National Fire Service College (NFSC) campus, its most prestigious course- Bachelor of Engineering (Fire Engineering) designed to meet the demand for specially trained technical experts in fire fighting has been non-functional since last four years.
INDIA MAY move towards hosting campuses of foreign universities, which the government described as a milestone that will enhance choices, increase competition and benchmark quality. But it failed to see what is the system and faculty in Indian campus education.
It is a shame that some national colleges have still a pathetic condition despite there names being registered among Asia’s best universities.
In Kolkata, fire exposed the need for trained personnel, while Nagpur fire engineering course lies suspended for four years. National Fire Service College (NFSC) campus, its most prestigious course- Bachelor of Engineering (Fire Engineering) designed to meet the demand for specially trained technical experts in fire fighting has been non-functional since last four years.
It has come to a standstill because of lack of infrastructure, one of the world’s first specially devised courses in fire fighting. The college runs by Union Ministry of Home Affairs and a Rs 200 crore plan to fund its own infrastructure and teaching faculty has been gathering dust. This college depends on some local institution for teaching some subjects as also for laboratory training. This is second time the course has seen a break since its inception in 1956.
It is best college of its kind in Asia, any science graduate with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics can appear for the entrance test for the course, which assures 100 per cent job guarantee through campus interviews. However, today, it is in such a condition that no one likes to go to this college due to lack of a world-class material testing laboratory, teachers, management etc.

It is high time that government should bring a proper infrastructure in place for running such colleges otherwise they will turn into mere monuments or memorial.

Many changes and developments are required in the education system practised in the schools and colleges, to make the students of the country well- versed with the practicalities of the world. Following are two of the main factors, which Indian education sector needs to implement to make the students updated with the global market and developments.
In the scheme of things, mergers & amalgmations amongst educational institutions should be present - the idea is the best ones
and better ones can support other educational institutions who are marginally on the lower side - Banks should provide funds
for this merger and acquisitions, if needed. Education Department should lay down rules and regulations for making this
feasible. At least by doing this, there will be momentum of growth amongst existing educational institutions for bettering
their prospects. More suggestions are welcome.
