'Degrees sans study will lead to nation of block heads'

India will become a nation of block heads if degrees are provided to people without studying, Jammu and Kashmir High Court has said.

“Insatiable human greed has caused immense damage to our educational system. It is only to be imagined what will happen to a nation where, without studying, educational degrees would be provided to the people. The country will become nation of block heads, thus, making its future dark,” Justice M H Attar said in a recent order.

Justice Attar made the stinging observations last week while dismissing a petition filed by Manish Suri, owner of an Elementary Teachers Training College, who was seeking quashing of an FIR lodged by the Crime Branch.

In October 2013, the Crime Branch registered two separate cases in Jammu and Srinagar offices to investigate the illegal practices adopted by some ETT colleges in the state.
