We are all distinctly different people — our genders, ages, religions, and houses are all different. Despite this, there is something that we all commonly value. If that is revealed, then the fault lines disappear. But without it, all you have are divisions, conflicts, and wastage of energy.

Questioner: Hello, Acharya Ji. My name is Arvind Rajot. I'm a professor here in Manit. First of all, welcome and thankyou for coming here.

The student has their own goals. They want to go for placement. There is a faculty. They have their own goals. Some are related to careers and are being defined as per the institute's policy, like how many projects to take, how many papers to do.
And then that goal is based on national policy, in which we can see differences of this kind, like between Harvard and where there can be disputes. There can be differences at this level where there is talk of stopping Harvard's funding. So obviously the national policies affect them.
Then there is the market. So at so many levels, the different fragmentations that are seen, it appears as an educational system. How many parts is this divided into? And is there any solution to it? Can I operate by looking at it as a whole, integrally? And on the other hand, it seems that if this is everything, then it keeps us busy with arrangements. But what arrangements are they making?
