The State of Haryana has made immense
progress since its inception and is at the crossroads of becoming a Destination State or preferred place for
launching entrepreneurship, In fact the very
location of the State in the geography of the country is a great
advantage to the State which has not been tapped to its fullest. In addition , the State has such riches, both, in
material and in human resources that it can very well develop into a
haven for prosperity and continual growth.
One important barometer of the level of development of any
community or country is the level of awareness and knowledge that the
people in that community or country possess. This can be given a more
tangible term that is Literacy Rate or in simpler terms, Level of
education. This has been a gray area in Haryana, despite diligent
efforts from various quarters to improve and augment it. The State
has a sizable educational spread but somewhere the element of quality
and improvement has been missed out on. Much of it is due to lack of
vision in planning the education sector and then managing it
rigorously, Mediocrity and lassitude have marred the reputation of
education sector. However, it being a welfare State, the onus to give
a new direction to this sector to the extent of completely
participation from all the stakeholders in this area -
administrators, educationists, parents and students.
With all the budgetary provisions and developmental schemes
the thrust of Higher Education in Haryana is envisioned to instill
requisite skills, knowledge and information in students so as to
enable them to pursue a rewarding profession and fulfilling life.
This would require re-orienting the education at higher levels of
learning that is in colleges and university to give it a more
concrete shape and would involve imbibing professionalism and
efficiency in the entire system. A draft model thus would be as following
:-
|
|
 Staff (teaching as well as non teaching
staff) would be trained through specially designed training programmes which would be got conducted through
training institutes of national/international repute.
Members of the teaching as well as non
teaching fraternity would be encouraged to participate in seminar,
workshops conducted through the training institutes in the country
and abroad whichever are relevant for their professional growth.
Students in the colleges are being roped in
through the scheme of "Earn while you learn" for orienting
them towards the dignity and value of work.
Specific sponsorship/scholarships would be given
to the enterprising and deserving teachers and meritorious students
for undertaking further research/higher studies.
Special emphasis on educating the
under-privileged section of society and also women in the state.

|
Laboratories and Libraries in the colleges
would be refurbished so as to provide latest equipment and facilities
for research, experiments and studies. This would include conducting
of specific programmes in the colleges to
foster the culture of reading and consulting library facilities.
The gap between the required physical
infrastructure and the available facilities would be removed through
consistent efforts.
