Summary

The text discusses the shortcomings of the current education system and the need for a new approach. It argues that the existing system encourages a "brain drain," where educated individuals from rural areas leave their villages for cities, and urban youth are drawn to metropolitan areas, while the most talented students from cities go abroad. This migration of intellect is questioned as to whether it can truly be called education. The consequence of this trend is that educated people have abandoned their responsibility to provide leadership for social construction. The text asserts that if the purpose of education is to equip individuals with the ability to shoulder the responsibility of building a new society, then a different kind of education system must be created, one that involves abandoning the current system's responsibilities. It concludes that to align with the objectives of a new social order, research must be conducted to bring about change in education.

Conclusion

The document's implications point to a fundamental crisis in India's education system, which fosters a "brain drain" by driving educated rural youth to cities and urban elites abroad, abandoning their societal leadership responsibilities. The outcome is a system that fails in its core duty of social reconstruction. To reverse this, a new educational framework must be deliberately built alongside the old, one that instills a sense of duty and equips learners to rebuild their communities rather than flee them. This requires a paradigm shift in pedagogy and objectives, aligning education with the goals of a new social order. Without such transformative change, the cycle of intellectual migration and societal neglect will persist, undermining the very purpose of education as a tool for national and community development.
