Method of Studies in Present Era
Dear All,
Now all the students are preparing for semester Examinations in a day. This kind of preparation is called passionally as "One day batting". It is very easy to pass in that exams only. Those students are not having any tough in any subject fundamentals. They get 70 to 80 percentage of marks. But they don't know the minimum knowledge except question -answer.
In my observation I saw so many students are mainly concentrates on internet related works.
They don't give preference to study through books. My request is Pl. turn to students to books reading habit.
They completely depends on soft-copies. It is very dangerous to their health also. Now a days all students must have glasses to their eyes.
Previously, one student have a doubt, immediately he meet the concerned faculty to clear his doubt.
But now a days he went to google. Parents doesn't what is going on.
Each and every college must subscribe some online package for students. So many students does n't know how to use.
Dear all. Please suggest how we turn students from soft version to books.

Dear Sir,
The trends are towards e-resources. It is very difficult to change the trend. Trend change the people not people change the trend. I agree with the partial story of one night warriors. Good motivated student they read by books as well e-books.
It is really a big problem for individual,community to handle non-regular readers.
Thank you.

Dear Sri Pakki Narayana Murthy,
I convey my heartfelt gratitude and sincerest appreciation to you primarily because of your comments and outlook.
It is an exceptionally unusual appeal from a new-gen professional.
I am not against internet and googling for information, but I painfully dislike short-gut processes.
You can call me orthodox in that sense but I believe that unless you get to the core of the .problem, you can never get a permanent solution!!
We are all seem to be concerned with the issue ( I saw Sri Munesh Kumar's post and he too seems to be concerned!) but we often dare not to initiate any alternative ways.
In Western Countries, I saw people are extremely focused to their own field but have pathetically restricted knowledge beyond that. Indians by and large used to have ( I am using past tense because I am speaking of Indians I witnessed abroad 25 years ago!) a very rich culture of knowledge-base on highly diverse subject fields.
During leisure times when certain discussions used to come up, and as and when Indians used to open their mouths, not only their peers but also others used to listen to them with rapt attention!!
We had a sense of self gratification & that was on our knowledge-base about the world at large! (We may be poor than you people but we are much much wiser than you all!!)
I am not very confident whether we can display such diversity of knowledge today. If not, I will be sorry to say that we have lost an extremely precious quality which the world used to respect.
Thank you again for bringing the issue to this forum.
Sincerely,.
Siddhartha S. Ray
