Our recent foundation day celebrations triggers the thoughts here! To my pleasant surprise, I found an array of talents in the student community. On the other side, we have student unrests that start on very flimsy pretexts.What I started wondering was if we could keep students busy with these extra curricular activities year long, if that would not keep them out of harm's way!
Being away from Kolkata, the only real city in West Bengal and the nearest town Bisnupur being too insipid, there is very little to do beyond regular hours and during weekends. Faculty members run away during the week ends that too adds to the problem. Would lots of additional activities help with the problem! My guess is it would. In fact, I made that comment elsewhere and found some encouraging comments from the student community.
I remember my stint at IIT, Kanpur, that was a long distance away from the city proper. Thirty years back they had a large number of student activities and a full time dean was there to look after the student activities!
