I am an Assistant Professor of English at Model Degree College, Deogarh. I have been serving the Department of Higher Education, Odisha for the last eleven years. Sometimes I am asked to engage Ethics and Values, and Environmental Studies classes apart from my assignments as a teacher of English. Hence, there are a variety of videos on this channel.
Yes, there was a problem with the network while recording I think. That's why this video lacks voice clarity. I'm sorry for that. However, the slides would be useful. The other videos are fine.
Hello mam, Mam can you please make me understand the pre reading i.e The slogan, skilling India or Orisha, that we swear by today is as unmixed a blessing as we think it to be. The idea behind it is that every human quality or activity can be quantified, measured, and standardized. And this is manifestly not true of certain attributes like feeling, thinking, emotion, and imagination. Certain subjects like poetry, painting, music, which feed upon and in turn feed these qualities, are likely to be ill-served by this skilling approach.
Well said! That's the whole point of this essay. However, it is a matter to be considered that creative thinking or writing or critical appreciation are also skills that make your engagement with literature more rewarding. Spontaneity and skill development are equally important for a connoisseur or student of literature. At the heart of it all is, of course, feeling. Skilling without that is incomplete and retarding.
