Lack Of Common Sense

Post Page Rank

An Inauguration Ceremony is happening in an engineering college. Three Government officials have traveled more than 200Kms to reach there for the inauguration. Their sole aim is to promote entrepreneurship among the students. They have come with a gift, a grant of Rs 45 Lakhs.

Two of the government officials gave inspiring talks about entrepreneurship and the possibilities that India currently posses with its various advantages. They even mentioned that India is now slowly focusing of manufacturing also, and trying to compete with China. These guys run the best Technology business incubator in the country.

After their speech the Principal took over and that was a disaster. They guy was talking about recruitment and placement activities. He boasted about the colleges placement record and its activities to improve the students aptititude and English skills. The Government officials looked surprised. They had come to promote entrepreneurship and this guy was talking about campus recruitment.

Is this ignorance - Someone please gift him with an oxford dictionary

Lack of common sense - I dont have a solution for this

Haaaaaaaaaaahahahhaha.. That is a new sardar in kerala joke of the year.
Lets talk from the principals side, what can he do when he is unaware of what chief guests were talking and he already had an encyclopedia about his college in head. :-D

Kenney, its not the problem with the Principal; our expectation is not matching with his capabilities. That’s all. :)

Many Kerala college professors fall in the category - living in this new era without keeping them updated of what’s going around them. All they care is a few textbooks in the curriculum, their salary, ’social status’ and things like that. Keralites still prefer ‘government job’ or job in a branded IT company, rather than self employed. We are still the British slaves! The Princi is simply an example of that.

People like that usually end up being principals in various educational institutions.
Pathetic situation indeed.

@Sreekandakumar Pillai
Sorry to ask sir, do you have any relation with this principal?

@SAF hehe no never, buddy.
I have been a victim of such a principal in tvpm when I approached him for arranging a seminar on IT industry for the students. I felt pity for him and understand (not appreciate) why they behave so.

I seriously dont know why some of us are making fun of this principal. Let me ask you a quick question - what are the things that a student/parents look at, before getting admission to a college?

Money, name of institution teachers, Previous year results? and then number of entrepreneurs that the institution has produced? I dont think so….we look if they have campus recruitment (the easy way to get job)

The principal was doing the right thing - by promoting the strong points in the college; after-all, if the results or the admissions are affected - it is his head that is on the line….not yours….

But I have to agree - that was a funny one…. :)

That is complete nonsense ;)

#12 Cijo Thomas on 07.19.08 at 10:47 am

I think the principal was trying to be a ‘practical’ guy!! If he speaks nothing of campus placements, the college will find it difficult to attract new students!!!

Anyway, nicely pointed out the funny thing!!

#13 SAF on 07.19.08 at 11:10 am

the only mistake is the good speech at a wrong place. :-)

This type of happenings are common in INDIA. Still Indian institutions are concentrating on their Business only. Especially in Tamil Nadu yet i can’t find a Good institution which makes a student knowledgeable. Here all institutions are training the students only to score high marks and to get knowledge :( If it continuous i don’t know what will happens to India at 2020
