Young Professor - Short Story

 

Introduction

Chapter-1

I am Padmini, friends call me padhu. Today I am joining as a junior professor, with lot of dreams; hope my young friends support me in this journey.

There was so much criticism from my parents when I chose my line of subject, but I convinced them with lot of effort, I am sure that I will make them proud one day!. There is no point in doing things, for which we don’t have a passion, may be we’ll get a higher package with such choice, not the happiness. At times we have to choose a carrier for the sake of personal issues, but we can pursue our passion if we have a will, as a hobby.

Padmini’s ideas

Chapter-2

It’s been 3 months after I joined the college, I wanted to promote innovation among my friends, they can learn the subject from the book at last minute of exam but innovation comes with thinking, a long process which requires persistence hard work and good observation power. To promote innovation to others good networking and communication skills are required.

I encourage my friends to submit different kinds of projects apart from the routine ones.

I believe in innovations rather than marks, its people like Steve jobs and Bill gates are being remembered and not the people who topped their class.

The country’s growth depends on innovation it is the hardest truth not being realized.

People have to realize it and stop our precious young minds being drained from India.

I don’t want to be one among the people who says “Rich becomes richer, poor becomes poor” or one who shares “Happy Independence Day” in social sites, I am worried about my country’s future. One side young brains are drained and other side we are being controlled by foreign investors. No doubt foreign companies have improved our income. But still we are depending on other counties.

I feel it is time to act, we need to promote innovation among our self and in next generations.

Padmini’s Approach to child laborer

Chapter-3

One of the reasons why I choose this profession is to spread my ideas to my friends.

 No matter many parents have realized the importance of education, but still we can see “chotoos” around us. The main reason for this is poverty.

How can we motivate people to send “chottos” to school?

One of the possible ways is to provide a small stipend, better than what their children get paid.

Children are creative; no matter they are from rich or poor family.

Put a dot on a board and ask them for answer?

We will get different answers from them.

But from a grown up individuals, the answer is "dot" which is unanimous.

if we could promote  and sell the various creative arts, such as painting, embroider, sculptures, accessories designing, tattoo stickers etc. which are being made by the children during their art sections we can make money out of it and the government can pay it as a stipend to the “chootos”.

The product can be as simple as a designer kerchief targeting young girls or a designer T-Shirts targeting young men of the buyers market segment and these crafts can also be exported to other countries which will earn more money.

In this way “chootos” will gain skill set which they can use it in future, an education during the first half of his school and also a stipend which helps to run their family.

I have been trying to spread this message, but couldn’t succeed by being a low profile individual. Now I have decided to use my young friends. I have shared this message to them. I believe in “Message from a youth to a youth”.

My friends has been sharing this message through cultural events organized by colleges / schools being attended by various special guests, and through other medias such as short films ,news papers, college/school articles and radio shows.

This is just a fission reaction which I have triggered in youngster, “an attempt to marshal future India” 

Hope my friends give me support!
