Graduate students must read the daily English newspapers.

Sir,
I have noticed that most University students including those who do their MBA , MCA and other graduate courses do not really read the daily newspapers. How could they hope to get knowledge without it.This is so rampant from my acquaintance with so many graduates. But they are all quite scholarly if the topic is about kollywood hereoes. Whenever I read the Times of India articles by Mr. Swaminthan or MJ Akbar, I feel majority of our countrymen are really missing out what is most important for them. Most engineering and professional colleges are conscious about the general lack of social skills among students and have introduced communication solutions as pre- placement campus recruitments. But w hat is missing is students’ general knowledge. They must be encouraged to read the newspapers .
