Every topics has different sides of problems and opportunities. Lets try to do a SWOT analysis of this decision.

आजच्या स्पर्धात्मक युगात प्रत्येक जण करिअर चांगलं होण्यासाठी धडपडत असतो. आजच्या स्पर्धेत टिकून रहायचे असेल तर करिअर उत्तम असणे हे एकमेव साधन आहे. शिक्षणाची नवीन दालने दिवसेंदिवस उघडत आहेत. प्रवेशासाठी विद्यार्थ्यांची झुंबड प्रत्येक ठिकाणी दृष्टीस पडते आहे. शिक्षणाचे बाजारीकरण झाल्यामुळे अतोनात पैसे शिक्षणावर खर्च करावे लागतात आणि ते अपरिहार्य आहे. लाखो रुपयांचे अभ्यासक्रम पूर्ण करण्यासाठी शैक्षणिक कर्ज घेतले जाते. त्याच्या परतफेडीचे हप्ते भरता भरता, पालकांच्या आयुष्यभरची पुंजी त्यात संपून जाते.

अनेकदा असे दिसते की, लाखो रुपये खर्चून पालक त्यांच्या मुलांसाठी एखाद्या अभ्यासक्रमाला प्रवेश घेतात. पण हुशार मुले देखील तो अभ्यासक्रम पूर्ण करू शकत नाहीत. अनेकांच्या बाबतीत असेही घडते की, ते अभ्यासक्रम पूर्ण करतात पण त्या क्षेत्रात त्यांना हवे तसे यश मिळत नाही. शिक्षण यशस्वीपणे पूर्ण करूनही करिअर अयशस्वी झालेल्यांचे समाजातील प्रमाण लक्षणीय आहे.

विद्यार्थ्याचा कल कुठे आहे हे निश्चित करण्यासाठी अनेकविध अँटिट्यडू टेस्टचे पेव फुटले आहे. दोन भिन्न ठिकाणी दिलेल्या अँटिट्यडू टेस्टचे निष्कर्ष भिन्न येण्याचे प्रमाणही चांगलेच आहे. एका ठिकाणी सांगितले की जाते की मुलाने चार्टर्ड अकाऊंटंट व्हावे तर दुसर्‍या ठिकाणी म्हणतात की त्याने सॉफ्टवेअरमध्ये जावे.

पु.लं.च्या भाषेत सांगायचे तर, ” कुलाबा ऑब्झर्व्हेटरी सांगते की मुसळधार पाऊस तर सांताक्रूझवाले सांगतात निरभ्र आकाश” अशी गत आहे.

“वंदना सदन गणेशोत्सव मंडळा तर्फ़े “विभागातील नागरीक व मुलासाठी एक अनोखा कार्यक्रम करण्याचे योजिले आहे. ह्या कार्यक्रमास सहभागी होण्यासाठी आपण आपल्या संकुलातील नागरीकांना व मुलांना आपल्या तर्फ़े कळविण्यात यावे.

This is old news but I think that I must put it here, News was published in express india   and here are some highlights of that news item.

Mumbai, September 20 While Mumbaikars agonised over the rising death toll — 190 at last count — due to rain-related ailments, one family in Virar decided to cash in on the Ganpati fervour to spread a valuable message, that of “gram swachhata” or village cleanliness.

Taking cue from the rising number of dengue, malaria and chikungunya cases, the Vaiti family in Virar decorated the area around their household Ganesha to depict mosquito breeding in unclean surroundings. So, with thermocol mosquitoes looming overhead, visitors are made to stand in a room covered with mosquito nets. “Jaadu” — the alien, Krish — the local boy and Ganpati are all here spreading the message of cleanliness.

A little farther, women’s empowerment and Sunita Willaims’s space journey is making waves at another Ganesha pandal. “How can we think of killing the girl child when women like Williams are reaching to the skies?” asks Dilip Nije, whose Ganesha sits before a thermocol spaceship zooming off into his ceiling.

This is the small hamlet of Tembi Pada in the distant suburb of Virar, where humble homes have turned into public Ganesh mandals, with almost all residents aping Lokmanya Tilak’s style of using the Ganeshotsav for spreading public awareness.

During the 10-day festival, households are buzzing with people standing in queues for a glimpse of the decorations. Practically all households have devoted an entire room for the idol and the backdrop. “We had to break the wall and join two rooms,” said Parvati Vaiti.

“Ours is a household Ganpati, but we decide to do something different which will spread awareness among people. So we make decorations and sets with a socially relevant theme,” said Shailesh Vaiti.

Former sarpanch Liladhar Patil, whose family was amongst the first to start the theme-based decorations, said, “Earlier we had only mythological stories for themes, but since a large number of people come to see these decorations, we decided to use the platform for spreading social messages.”

Mumbai’s serial bomb blasts aboard the local trains and the 944-mm deluge also appear as themes. The decorations take almost a month to prepare, with the entire family participating. Men and women lend their voice for skits, help out with creating moving objects of thermocol and cloth, some even chipping in with musical scores.

“We do not take any outside help, all the decoration is done by us,” says Ajay Patil, whose decoration is based on the theme of the rich getting richer and the poor becoming worse off. The set includes depictions of current events like farmer suicides, corruption in college admissions, pavement dwellers being run over by rash drivers and even a building collapse.

Traditionally a fishing village, Tembi Pada is not very well off. Still, families spare up to Rs 30,000 for the festival. No wonder then that during the festivities, people from the neighbouring villages of Virar, Vasai and even Mumbai and Surat come visiting to see their Ganeshas.
