Reforming Education Ecosystem

Mukti Mishra, President, Centurion University

One of the most adored names in the galaxy of the country’s edupreneurs, Prof Mukti Mishra(Reforming Education Ecosystem) has straddled the corporate and education worlds with consummate ease. Despite his bevy of achievements, Mishra has never rested on his laurels. Nor has he allowed complacency to seep into his constantly thinking brain. The urge to accomplish something more has always impelled him to scale dizzier heights.

“I felt that two gaps existed — as a teacher, between what we should be teaching and what the students should be learning, and as a student, between what they are learning and what they are supposed to learn.” To bridge this gap, he wanted to link the four important components of the education system — students, educators, government and civil society. To this end, he took over Jagannath Institute for Technology and Management and transformed it into what we know today as Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM) in 2010. It was started with the vision to offer an education that goes hand-in-hand with practical modules.

Today, Centurion boasts of five campuses and an array of social outreach programs. Yet Mishra retains his self-effacing temperament. “We are not a company that has a fixed target and upon achieving that, we can become successful,” clarifies the President of CUTM and rebukes the use of parameters like the salary students secure after passing out to measure the success of the institute. Instead, he suggests the usage of parameters like the number of students made employable, the social value created by them, the numerous problems they’ve solved and more. 

Though a terminal optimist on the future of the Indian education system, he does not shy away from taking potshots at some of its existing lacunae.

“The Indian education system is regimented and autocratic—there are more than 20 regulatory authorities and thousands of institutions close down every year. While access to education continues to be an issue, millions of graduates remain unemployed. There is an unprecedented scramble for government jobs. In 2018, 93,000 candidates, including 3,700 PhD holders, 28,000 post-graduates and 50,000 graduates, applied for62 peon openings in Uttar Pradesh.These issues stem from the fact that education is over-regulated and under-supervised. Take the case of a well-recognized university that was prohibited from commissioning a teacher’s training program, that too in a tribal district. Though it had complied with all the parameters of the National Council for Teacher Education Act, the government did everything in its capacity to delay the launching of the program by seven years. It was eventually withdrawn. At the same time, the government launched around 20 teacher-training programs in violation of the act”, Mishra wrote in a scholarly article.

But Mishra through his initiatives has gone furlongs beyond the path of academic achievements. He has spearheaded Centurion’s most famous and amply documented initiative- Gram Tarang. Presently operating in the urban areas of Odisha and its contiguous neighbor Andhra Pradesh, the skill center provides skill-building and employability for the youth.

“In institution-building, satisfaction translates into acceptance of the status quo. The word ‘satisfaction’ is elusive and enigmatic”, says he.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
