I have put up the suggestions given in earlier multiple posts (around an hour ago) as a single blog post here: http://eklavyasai.blogspot.in/2015/02/my-suggestions-related-to-skill.html

in the course curriculum of mechanical engineering studies teaching softwares like AUTO CAD pro-e etc should be made compulsory for the university affiliated institutes

Specifically in the Computer Science and Information Technology field, a software contribution record can be used as a measure of competence of the teaching faculty in the practice of software development.

Solution: Strongly encourage via career growth incentives, teaching faculty in technical higher education to be practitioners of the associated field. Measures of their competence as a practitioner can be evolved over time based on artifacts/prototypes/products developed by the teaching faculty which should be peer-reviewed to ensure good quality and reject poor quality/fraudulent output.

c) In general, I am given to understand that in medicine the teaching faculty are themselves practitioners of medicine as well in "teaching hospitals". However, in technical fields like Computer Science and Information Technology, typically the teacher is not a practitioner of the field! So then how can the practical skills be taught properly to students.

Solution: Improve practical skills level of teaching faculty in technical higher education by making it easy for experienced and accomplished industry professionals to move to academia on regular pay academic pay scale and designation.

b) Industry experience is not given much value by UGC/AICTE recruitment and promotion norms. So industry experienced persons do not have much incentive to move from industry to academia as teaching faculty. Non-industry experienced academics in fields like Computer Science and Information Technology usually lack thorough knowledge of practical side of the field.

Solution: Do strict evaluation of lab. courses, failing students where necessary. Ensure career growth incentive for lab. course teaching faculty.

In technical higher education like Computer Science and Information Technology, IMHO, these are the problems and suggested solutions: a) Lab. courses which are meant to provide skills are not given much importance. Students are not examined strictly (it is rare for students to be failed in lab. courses), and so they tend to take it easy with lab. courses. Further, faculty are not given career growth incentive for teaching lab. courses well. So lab. courses are usually dumped on junior faculty.

Sports must be an integral part of education. Education should teach you to follow your passion and dream honestly. Athletes should be supported.Winning a 100 m race is as great a task as scoring a 100 in maths.
