Add another "I" to prove .., that you are some thing !

Did any one of us  ever  observed , the number of I's that are being added to represent beginning of an institute or an institution to prove a point that they have some thing to say and they are indeed the change agents of the society , the list does of course starts with I for India or Indian ..at times,  what is interesting is the never ending of words starting with "I"..........

here it goes ....
I --  one outfit  calls it self Institute of planning and Management , often claiming to be the vangaurd of Management education .. offering virtually every thing of Management Education and it rarely gets recognized  about its faculty and academic research or about its poor infrastructure .

another  set of I's belong to government category starting every thing with Indian ( lets be patriotic, even while making  hollow claims...)  Indian institute of forest management , hotel management ,  horticulture  , communication  et al.

The other I's are institutions are  of "International" one's type  and these are   interesting ones " group of "institutions "......their USP ...make fast bucks while serving the society !!

these ones   are  my favourite  ;  SVIIIT , CBIT, MCCCCTIT, SCINSCT , CMIS ..........to give a rough idea , these outfits ( local technical colleges )  call themselves with varied names as institutes  of technology , institutes of sciences , institutes of computers and  management studies  etc... 
But what the poor state local governments and innocent public don't Know, is that the majority of these " institutes don't bother about Research, innovation, quality and faculty learning programs...words like scholarly contribution, scientific temperament and of course designing pedagogy are strange or perhaps rarely heared abberations. they care only about generating revenue to suit their commercial purposes ...in the end India produces skilled labour force which  either knows  how to write a software program or Knows how to sell it , rather than creating social, scientific base that auguments a society's evolution through contribution of Knowledge and innovation...not necessarily  in one area ...but as diverse as the planet it self ...are we making sense of  india ..while dreaming to become a Superpower of 21st Century !!!
