Teaching and Guidance acts as an important
part or we can say is an important aspect of life. It is something which never
ends i.e. no matter of what age you are or where you are, teaching and guidance
can be done in any manner with anyone. Many people have told the importance of
it in their own means. Similarly, L. Colonel Dr. Satish Dhage, Director of MGM
Institute of Competitive Examinations (ICE) have said the importance and
explained it. Dr. Dhage have served as an officer in Indian army and at present
are the director of MGM ICE as well as a lecturer in the same.
Q. What role does teaching and guidance
play in your life based on your experience from a medico-army officer to the
Director of M.G.M ICE?
A. "In reality, teacher’s role
is the most important role, because as far as talent is concerned, every person
is talented. I believe that there is 100% energy in every person and if you
want to be successful, what requires is a proper direction. I believe that
there are 3 D’s which are required to be successful – Dedication, Discipline
and Direction. If you give your efforts, focus with all your energy on the aim,
in the right direction then only you will be successful. So, that direction and
the right guidance is given by a guru or a teacher."
Q. What are your views on the traditional
teaching methods and the modern teaching methods?
A. "I believe change is the mantra of
life. One must move ahead and get adjusted with the technology and the change.
In traditional teaching methods, Gurukul system was in practice based on the
customs, traditions and the requirements. But today, you can’t go ahead with
the Gurukul system as you need to accept the electronic changes in the teaching
methods. You have to absorb the positive changes of technological teaching and
leave behind the negative ones."
Q. Do you agree with the fact that
there exists transition in the morals, values and ethics of the students?
A. "I think yes, because of
technology many new things have come and there is a routine kind of
observation. You may see many people saying that today’s generation is very
smart. As the new technology is coming, along with that certain bad
practices are also growing. There is dilution of values and ethical kind of
thing in student’s general behaviour. Though our tilt is towards
westernization, two things are important which are to be followed. First and
foremost, we must have an intact family system which should imbibe the sanskars and values and secondly, apart
from teaching it’s the role of a teacher to mentor and guide the students
regarding the ethical knowledge."
Dr. Dhage have taught hundreds of children
and imparted all the important morals and teachings he had. Even today, he is thanked
for his devotion in the field and students even from his first batch are still
in contact with him. Dr. Dhage not only served with devotion in army but also
maintained the same devotion in the career of teaching. Imparting education,
preparing students for future challenges of life and motivating students is all
he did after army and is what he wants to continue with.
