Imagine 20 years from now, categorized as a ‘woman of
substance’ by the World, you ponder down your memory lane at an old snapshot and
remember the old times. You realize that
you’ve been through a lot, and the experience you’ve gained has taken you
through life’s storms. This pierces through your heart, making you feel like
you miss your Alma Mater. Then you look at the world around you, and you feel
burdened. You’ve reached all heights of glory thanks to your education, and
your hard work; but your fellow citizens are still struggling, what can you do
about them?
Education is not just about learning and then imparting that
learning to lead a better life, education is also about sharing knowledge. It
does not matter if you are a product of Harvard, IIMs or even Symbiosis; you
have a responsibility to the society. If you can foster that responsibility
under an umbrella like Symbiosis, you have done justice to the education you
have earned.
‘Educate a boy, and you
educate an individual; educate a girl, and you educate a whole community!’
