URBAN VAASTU - Building modern India - March 2015

In this issue

MARCH may bring the curtains down on the financial year of the Indian
government, various state governments and of the corporate sector, but for
millions of students, it is just the start of an anxious period, when the knowledge that they have acquired over the past few months in classrooms will be tested.
India’s education system is undergoing dramatic changes, with governments renewing their focus on this crucial subject. India has had a mixed record in education – some of our prestigious institutions, such as the Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institutes of Management have produced the brightest of professionals, many of who are heading multinational corporations, research academies, or even university departments. At the same time, India’s track-record when it comes to providing primary and secondary education, especially to the
poorer sections of society, is dismal.
In the current issue of Urban Vaastu, we focus on the education scenario in
the country, highlighting both the positives and the drawbacks. We appeal to our readers to spend some time in sharing your knowledge with the under-privileged;instead of giving a rupee to a needy person, it would be far better to provide useful insights, to help them stand on their own feet and support their family.
In this issue, we have introduced a travel column; Kunal Patel, an eminent architect, who is also on the advisory board of Urban Vaastu, will take
time off from his busy schedule to describe some of the wonderful journeys he has undertaken around the globe. The first column that he signs off covers his memorable visit to Istanbul.
