Failing in an examination, which you believe could determine your future, can be heart-breaking leaving innocent children in the trap of depression, often leading to impulsive actions even suicides. In such a case, over 2,50,000 suicides are recorded in India and more than 8,00,000 globally, the necessity to deal with such issues is critical.
Recognising this issue and working towards controlling suicides for the last 12 years through free counselling, 41-year-old educationist Jaydeb Kar is a true morning motivator for many. Recognising his efforts, Chairperson of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Anita Karwal awarded him an appreciation certificate from the board acknowledging his contribution on Monday.
Kar is currently serving as school principal at Vidya Bhavan Public School, but welcomes all the students for free counselling session irrespective of their school. “I have seen kids suffer, cry and die simply because they could not clear an examination or did not score as much as expected, it has been truly a heart-breaking experience,” he said.
Having settled himself as an educationist, Kar’s aim in life was to uplift children and provide wings to fly. “Every child is talented and unique, but we are only testing children based on one test paper, which cannot quantify all their skills,” he said.
Kar supported the education system, but felt that the misconception about a result a defining future of a child has eaten up too many lives. “About 12 years back, I joined CBSE’s counselling program and every year, I have been counselling over 3,000 students from all over India and it is sad that still children are suffering from parental and peer pressure to score a certain percentage,” he said.
Discussing possible ways to improve their life, Kar said, “I often participate in counselling sessions for parents as well as students, but we need a change in the mind-set, where people become more innovative and find profession in their interest.”
Having enough experience with counselling students, he has recognised that many students are unable to find and pursue their interest, because of materialistic consideration. “Most kids discard their passion, because they feel it might not become a productive profession, but that is not the case and we need everyone to understand that,” Kar said.
