A Thousand pities.
" A thousand pities"
That, it lies in the northern side of Sindh. It makes border with India, this is only desert which is rich in culture and in natural resources. But this piece of writing will discuss something novel.
I am talking about Thar which is always been neglected in terms of basic facilities such as water, Hospitals, electricity, roads and more sadly to say that they deprived of education as well. education is the fundamental right of every individual. However, we Thari deprived of this. There are no schools in most of the villages, if there are schools then teachers are not available. if both schools and teachers are available then the teachers are not highly educated and qualified even they don’t know the letters of Sindhi language or any other languages.
From K.G to matric we hardly familiar with Sindhi and English letters. At the same time, the terms Chemistry, Biology, Physics, literature, linguistics, philosophy, politics, ETC, are wonder for us.
Usually, the teachers in Thar only beat even on minor mistakes, this silly practice of teachers severely kills creativity of a student, teachers only ponder on writing practice, they are giving a huge topic and dictated students to inscribe whole the topic in fair copy, this is not a bad thing, many students are getting good skills in writing, but only contemplating on writing is not enough. Moreover, many teachers give a topic of any subject and instruct students to memorize whole the topic without knowing the concept [so called ratification]. So this process is persistent until students pass the matriculation.
Following, the stage of intermediate starts, many students stay at home and not to continue their education due to insufficient sources. They don’t have extra money to get an education as we know the annual fee of education institutions is high, so they can’t afford it. Although, some students hardly get out and take admission in intermediate. The stage starts in which we partially familiar with science, still everything is a wonder for us. Now think how a person can learn science who even don’t know the basic things, how a man can raise hands and ask a question, how intellectual minds to be produced in such circumstances.
Despite having such a situation I am going to mention the students who were selected in different departments and fields.
A man did his graduation in Chemistry now he is a professor.
A man who graduated in Zoology. Later who done his Ph.D.
A man who done his graduated from Mehran University and went abroad to china through a scholarship.
A man got admession in NUST University Islamabad and eventually done with CCE.
In 2018 there were 3 who selected in MBBS
In 2019 there were 4 who selected in MBBS
In 2020 there were 2 who selected in MBBS
A man got 1st position in the PST test in the overall district in 2012.
Those whom I mentioned suffered the calamity of such an environment, however they never gave up and persistently worked hard amid of countless hindrances which is obviously a inspiration for all of us.
Those whom I mentioned only belong to my village. Many others whom I haven't mentioned, are from different villages, they are studying in different universities and working in different fields.
Now think if they get basic facilities. they can emulate in every competition. If the get resources and quality education at early age, utterly, result will be decent.
In the nutshell, A thousand pities
