“IGNOU
in my life”
- By
Grigist
Special
thanks to Dr. S. Ganesan sir, Regional Director IGNOU Port Blair for inviting
me to the grand 32nd Convocation of IGNOU and honouring with a wonderful
memento.
I,
being a product of IGNOU, would like to share a bit about myself that,
"What is IGNOU University for me in my life".
So
there was a time, when I almost decided not to continue my education after XII
during 2004 and have joined ANC on those days before the declaration of the
CBSE board results. Obviously, being a little good in studies, I have
successfully completed XII, but I did not look to admission in colleges, and
usually my work is going on in ANC as a DRM (Computer Operator).
My
brother who was a graduate already, use to guide me many times to join degree
colleges. But, I, being an observer around society, I have seen the problems of
unemployment, especially highly qualified doing usual jobs, and least qualified
are earning something to look after their respective families.
By
observing all that, in reply, I use to explain my brother, why not I should do
my work, work and work. Then, time has passed upto 2 years. Then, I have got two
years experience of work, but my qualification still XII pass.
One
that lucky day, this time my Brother brought out with prospectus of IGNOU
and tried to convince me for further education in distance and he said, in dialogue "even fill it and submit or give it to me filled-in, dammed", angrily. But, 2 years
are enough to make you disinterested on studies. Anyhow, I was agreed to do
studies disinterestedly and done all the submission process offline, then, by
me.
Finding
usual in official language, I chose 'BA (English)', attended the Sunday classes
of subjects in first year and became many friends over their in the classes, and lecturers
taught us point to point strictly ordered 'No badhmashi'. Now that seem my
study track came to normal and disinterested transformed into interested and
completed my degree.
Then,
started working for local dailies and learned more about the field. Thereafter,
the next level of education was found as 'PGJMC' that too available in IGNOU, one can do after two years of experience in any media organization, so I have done it too.
That's how my track of studying is back again. Now, I am pursuing MEG in IGNOU,
and writing and publishing few poems in 'The Mini India'.
So,
my dear friends, Education is a Power and Institution is a Tool, be prepared to
welcome opportunity that any time can knock your Door.
(Hearty
thanks to my Brother, IGNOU and Gurus)
