Where are young professionals for managing Rural/Social Development? Why are young women and men not coming in? Do we need 3-year, 4-year graduate courses rather than 1-year, 2-year PG courses? Or both? Is it time to update the curriculums, in tune with amrt kaal progression? Do they need to increase seats, and reach out to more and more aspirants aggressively? Do we need PhDs? Can we get free/lowly priced education for this? Can these professionals get placed with decent remunerations? Can NIRD become a degree-giving institute or a deemed-to-be University? Shouldn’t it remain unaffiliated till then?
Is it good to go with field-centric, practice-centric experiential certificates, diplomas, degrees, PG, management, leadership, and doctoral programs? For natural farming practitioners, explorers, scientists, researchers, learning facilitators, professionals, scalers, managers, leaders, and champions? Do we care about having affiliation, and accreditation? Can these not come automatically, if they are good? Can the academy grow into a full-fledged research-evidence-knowledge-learning-repository-dissemination-scaling centre of excellence? Autonomous, a deemed-to-be university, or part of a larger state, regional, national, or world NF university system. Can we nurture this/these? Can the new state, central governments, and philanthropies support these? Can ICAR endorse these? Can we see the early architecture for the NF paradigm now, and the transformation within ICAR, Universities, Extension systems, school curriculums, etc., in the next 10-15 years?
Sending alone is not enough, the other party has to receive it. Articulating clearly is not enough. The other party has to understand the way, and essence as articulated. Can we communicate, completely, crisply, concisely, coherently, and concretely, with no scope to interpret in any other manner? Can we?
Yes, we can. If we coexist, if we observe-reflect what works for us. In N? In dheeyoga for 7L.
