Discipline is a means of keeping the things in order. Man is a social being; alone be pines, in company he thrives. A nation is only group of individuals. Hence individual discipline is very necessary. But today we find this disciple missing especially among the youth of the country. The students in universities and colleges do not bother for their teachers. The old relations between the teachers and students are missing altogether. The absence of discipline will lead to chaos and confusion. Discipline is a training of mind and character. It implies submission to rules. Discipline must be inculcated early in life. The children must respect their parents, players must conform to the rules of the game and members of a party must uphold its decisions. The principle of discipline prevails throughout the universe. Most of the ills of our nation are due to the indiscipline among the youth of the country. On petty affairs, the students stab each other and indulge in all kinds of violence like arson, looting, shooting, murders and bloodshed. Evil designs of the enemies of the country will be successful if we are indisciplined. Proper counselling and guidance by parents and teachers can help the students to maintain discipline.

Question 6

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Our present system of education is bookish and quite far away from the harsh realities of life. It is theoretical and not practical. It does not enable a young man to earn his living. Every year lakhs of students come out of boards and universities who are hankering after white-collar jobs but hesitate to do any manual work. The result is that they join the tribe of multitudes of unemployed and loafers. The number of educated unemployed is rising every year. The only solution to this problem is vocational training. In fact, vocational training should be a part of school curriculum. Every school must have a workshop where students may be given practical training in different trades and skills. After passing 10+2, the student should not waste their time in pure academic curriculum in the colleges. Vocational training would lessen the burden on colleges and trained students would start earning their livelihood. We should teach the students the dignity of labour and let them learn and earn. All talk of the defects of our present system of education. But very little is done to improve it. In fact, vocationalisation of education is essential to remove many ills prevalent in modern set up of education.
