I live in Kerala .A word about present academic situation here:
The good old days are far gone . Quality of education is going downhill,as very few practitioners teach the subjects in colleges.Locally, teaching as a profession is considered as a low grade one , compared to engineering and medical professions by majority.This low social status coupled with poor pay has resulted in a situation,where teaching as a profession has become the last of all choices.
A system that do not appreciate innovation is in place, and is oriented ONLY towards getting high academic scores.
This is sad. I wish things got better.
[I haven't studied anywhere outside Kerala, so i don't know about the situation elsewhere in India.Please don't conclude this as the situation in India, in general]
