Courses which can be opted in medical career instead of MBBS:

-

Every job which is available on earth has got some value to society. According to the jobs, there are college degrees to prepare the students. When it comes to careers especially in India, the MBBS course is overvalued. The overvaluation is caused by the plethoric (excessive) attraction and seat demand this degree has gained from a few decades. In recent years this degree has become something like 'Shahi' (Royal). This degree more than a societal need-based has become a pride or job guarantee scheme (But things have worsened in this career aftermath MBBS degree too). 

This degree as said has attracted a royal tag which comes with a tittle ‘Dr Saab’ or ‘Dr Ji’ or 'Doctorre' in Kannada. Because of all these nonchannelized career guidance or no guidance at all, many important jobs of a hospital which are also very important are undervalued. At the same time, the need for an MBBS degree is not ignored, this is a very crucial healthcare qualification in our health system, which cannot be denied at all. But the point here is what are the qualifications which are equally important for a healthcare system. 

There is unnecessary pride attached to the MBBS, which is making lakhs of students to go to the MBBS route and increasing the competition level further. Many students go for a long term NEET by giving extra 1 or 2 years attempting for NEET. The NEET preparation cost in few NEET preparation academies is sometimes more than the government MBBS college annual fee. If you look at long term NEET repeaters only a few get succeed into getting a government medical seat. When it comes to a direct MBBS private seat, the full course budget exceeds the Rupees crore mark. This is causing a lot of demotivation to the students as well as parents.

If you look at a hospital, the hospital is run not only by MBBS, but there are a lot of professionals who are equally important to run a hospital set up. It is high time to look at the multiple medical career opportunities rather than going on a single route i.e. MBBS, and jam the traffic to worsen it further.

A student can opt for graduation in Bsc in allied medical sciences, medical and healthcare technologies. After BSc, a student can also opt for a Master degree too.

When Progress Steals Our Voices: The Human Cost of Automation:

 - Progress is inevitable, we understand that. But as we embrace the potential of AI, let us not forget the human cost. Let us remember the designers whose creative fire was banked, and let us fight to preserve the irreplaceable heart and soul that fuels the art of writing.  For if we lose our storytellers, we risk losing a fundamental part of ourselves. The ghost in the machine may offer efficiency, but it can never replicate the beating heart behind the words. And that, is a loss we cannot afford. The hum of the new CNC machines still echoes through the workshop, a constant, efficient drone that replaced the familiar scratch of pencils on drafting paper. They are marvels of precision, capable of crafting intricate designs with an accuracy our human hands could only dream of. And yet, with their arrival, a quiet sorrow settled over us. The laughter and camaraderie of the design team thinned. Talented hands, once sketching visions into reality, now sat idle, their creative spa...

Building Future Leaders: Independence and Self-Awareness in Childhood:

 - Imagine a garden where seedlings are planted but never nurtured. They may sprout, but without sunlight, water, and careful tending, they will wither and vanish. Similarly, our children possess immense potential, but without the cultivation of essential skills and values, their potential will remain unfulfilled. Education must be more than just the delivery of information; it must be a nurturing process, providing the intellectual, emotional, and ethical nourishment that allows each child to flourish. Image Generated with Gemini AI The Delicate Journey of Independence: Guiding Your Child's Journey to Self-Awareness The transition from childhood to adolescence is delicate, a push and pull between dependence and independence.  As our children grow, their desire to spread their wings and explore the world on their own intensifies. This yearning for autonomy is a natural and vital part of their development. However, simply granting them free rein without guidance can leave them ...

Education system in Greece and Rome in ancient times: (In Urdu)-

یونان اور روم میں نظامِ تعلیم ڈاکٹر عرفان حبیب مغربی تعلیم کی تاریخ کا آغاز حضرت عیسیٰؑ سے سیکڑوں برس پہلے، یونانی قوم کی تعلیمی سرگرمیوں سے ہوتا ہے۔ اس تاریخ میں بیسویں صدی کی شروعات تک ایک تسلسل پایا جاتا ہے۔ ابتدائی دور میں یونانی شہری ریاستوں میں رہتے تھے۔ شروع ہی سے ان کے یہاں تعلیم کو بڑی اہمیت دی جاتی تھی۔ اچھے شہری تیار کرنے کے لیے تعلیم ضروری تھی۔ یہ ریاستیں دشمنوں میں گھری ہوئی تھیں اور اکثر اندرونی خطروں کا بھی سامنا کرنا ہوتا تھا۔ اس لیے شہریوں کی اس طرح سے تربیت ضروری تھی کہ وہ اندرونی اور بیرونی خطروں کا اچھی طرح مقابلہ کر سکیں۔ اس یونانی سماج کی بنیاد، غلامی کے نظام پر تھی جس میں غلاموں کی تعداد آزاد شہریوں سے کہیں زیادہ تھی۔ تجارت اور ہاتھ سے کام کرنے کو معیوب سمجھا جاتا تھا اور یہ کام غلاموں سے لیے جاتے تھے، اس لیے شہریوں کو کوئی ٹیکنیکل تعلیم حاصل کرنے کی ضرورت نہیں تھی۔ شہری ریاستیں کئی باتوں میں ایک دوسرے سے مختلف تھیں اور اس لیے ان کے تعلیم کے مقاصد بھی جدا جدا تھے مثلاً سپارٹا اور ایتھنز کے تعلیمی نظام بالکل الگ الگ تھے۔ سپارٹا کے شہری اپنے علاقے می...

Challenges faced by school counsellors as per study undertaken in India (Part 1.12)--:

 - Counselling skills are seen as an important area in educational institutions. The education boards like CBSE mandates schools to appoint counsellor. The schools which have appointed counsellors in the school environment, the counsellor face few challenges, as school involves multiple stakeholders- Teachers, Children, Parents, Management, Civil society (Civil society- When school is involved with collaborative programs with external institutions). There are some kinds of stigma attached to counsellor and counselling practices. When counsellor calls children to meet, they become very conscious to go to the counsellor even to have general interaction. Some responded that if a child goes to a dedicated counsellor, the child might think he has negativity in him. A counsellor said that rapport building takes much time. Children are afraid because they have misinformation about counselling. Class 1st to 5th children know counsellor as a Lifeskills teacher and not as a counsellor. It he...

The Architect Within: Building a Child's Self-Esteem Brick by Brick:

- "Imagine a child, standing at the edge of a vast, unknown world, their eyes filled with a mixture of hope and fear. They long to explore, to create, to achieve, but a tiny voice inside whispers doubts, telling them they're not capable. That voice, the one that shapes their perception of themselves, can either be a gentle guide or a crippling critic. It's the voice of self-esteem, and it holds the power to either ignite their dreams or extinguish them before they even begin. What kind of architect are we helping them become – one of soaring confidence or one of crumbling doubt?" A child's world is a canvas of possibilities, a landscape where dreams take root and aspirations blossom. But navigating this world requires more than just talent or intelligence; it demands a sturdy foundation of self-esteem. That foundation, however, isn't built by external praise alone.  It's shaped from within, by a child's own perception of their ability to achieve in are...
