'Social media, like Astras, needs to be handled carefully'
"IT IS common .sense that any power should be associated with proper checks. If there is accelerator, there must also be brakes." This simple commonplace logic found a complete new dimension at an august gathering of principals and teachers, where they deliberated upon children's right churning in this ever expansive world of technology.
Dr UmaVaidya. Vice-Chancellor of Kavikulguru Kalidas Sanskrit University and a well-known orator, while throwing light on what ails our education system during principals' annual get-together of The Hitavada Knowledge Magazine also illuminated the dark corners of our present-day existence that are often visible but so often not touched.

Praising the old Gurukul system of education. Dr Vaidya said that it look care of some impediments that came in the way of children's education. The old system required children to give up vices like greed, excess love, lust for pleasure, arrogance and laziness that they develop so easily with pampering parents around.
She started her address with a small anecdote. Knowing that she would soon be taking charge of the big post of ViLe Chancellor, some young students thought it right to talk to her about their problems. She said that she was addressing the principals with the desire only to communicate those problems of children to them. She then proceeded to discuss how our present day family system, education system and social system all come together to deprive children of their natural ease. "With nuclear
