Important lesson learned

Thoughts on Education system of our country

Since I am associated in an educational institute where Design is taught, therefore I will say on the same area of expertise. Learning by doing and exposure to real environment of the related field should be provided by the relevant industry as part of the Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) so that we have hard core professional ready to be absorbed.
