Knowledge As The Solution

 “Let’s Pledge To Serve The Humanity With The Knowledge We Have...”

If we analyze that in the present times we (youths) usually procure knowledge or the technical knowledge of a particular field so as to be proficient and the professionals, be it the IT sector or any scientific field. The antecedent to be the masters in that particular field remains only just to earn money and to have the power & hence no one tries to use his skills, professional techniques to serve the humanity as the whole with his/her adequacy, but in lieu of channelizing our potential in proper way and to serve the humanity what we do is just making it in our mind that we just want to have the sway and the money.

We can say that the young generation is trying to have more materialistic approach rather than having the realistic one. We should make it into the mind that we should try to serve our people in every possible way. As Allah (SWT) has blessed us with the knowledge, we should give our cent percent in channelizing that knowledge to serve the humanity in every possible way we can. As Allah (SWT) will enquire us on the Day of Judgment that I had blessed you with the knowledge on the earth, did you ever tried to help your society with that blessed knowledge?

Let’s take the case of scientific field, we acquire the knowledge of it but we never use it to solve, simplify our day to day tasks. We just read the heaps to books thoroughly but the implementation of these theories, hypothesis is nowhere in the real life. We never ever try to find out the solution of the problems which our farmers face in the fields. Our farmer still uses sickle in his paddy fields which often causes severe hand injuries. Our farmer still applies that black, sticky, semi solid paste obtained by burning the wood, known as “Kellam” in Kashmiri on his legs to elude allergy caused by that contaminated water of the paddy fields. Till date no one tried to come out with the solution for this problem faced by the farmers seasonally.

We shouldn’t expect any foreigner to come for our rescue by providing us the solution of that very problem. It is we who are suffering and we have to come up with the solution as we have the knowledge but the reason is that we never tried to use it as the tool to simplify the problems. We just annex the knowledge with the special and the only intension to crack the competitive exams (young generation) and to make our own career. No doubt we have to be very much concerned for our career but on the other hand we should also try to give appropriate output of our knowledge, as having the knowledge implies that you are expert in modification & streamlining of the things according the condition but unfortunately, we lack the ability to channelize our knowledge in that desired way and that’s the point we should excogitate on. Need of the hour is that we should develop a sense of responsibility towards the society. We should try to be demiurgic so as to use our knowledge, skills to solve the problems which our working class does face daily. We have to work out so as to make our knowledge more fecund and prolific.

If we see that the patent percentage of the valley is pretty low and we can say it is in the zero point something form, so it clearly indicates our level in the originative and creative sector. It clearly infers that we don’t come up with the new things & the applicable solutions of our problems. Some palpable questions arise here in my mind that why we just want to relay on the things which were invented by some Englishmen, German, and American? Why aren’t we ready to step ahead of them in the field of innovations?  Why we are lagging behind? And what is that in which lag? These are the points upon which our academicians, and the responsible individuals should envisage and should come up with the possible medicament because we have to bring a change, we have to serve the entire humanity with the wisdom, skills & knowledge we have as without changing our approach we can’t bring that desired change at all. We don’t want to have the power in our hands, we don’t want to rule the world, we don’t want to have the heaps of money all around, but all we want is the better, prosperous and progressive society and the knowledge from every field of life being totally channelized to serve the humanity. Let’s be the part of this change, let’s make it happen.
