From value addition prospective, Sanskrit had negligible impact. But it certainly helps if someone is interested in religious texts.

My elementary knowledge of Sanskrit (Class 5 to Class 8) helps me understand most religious texts (Ram Raksha Stotra & Vindhyavaasini Stotram etc.), different shlok's, epics, smriti's, commentaries on Vedic Richa's with moderate effort. Makes it easy for me to help my children understand the meaning of every single word, the overall shabdarth & overall essence.
However, I do face considerably more challenges with Shiv Tandav Storam, where just one word fills the entire line, or for that matter, Mahishasur Mardini. Try it, you will enjoy it.
In the past, when I was in Bangalore (truly multi-cultural, multi-lingual & cosmopolitan, the best and my fav. city in India), my fundamental understanding of Sanskrit helped me in understanding the context of conversations when my Marathi peers discussed something.... To some extent, same with Kannada & at times (rarely though) even for Tamil etc. as I find extensive usage of Sanskrit vocabulary there.
Just understanding the context of those conversations has helped me in broadening my horizons immensely. I was surprised to see how extensive is the usage of Sanskrit-origin words in these South India languages, whereas how infrequent this is becoming with our overly Persianized-Urdu-ized Hindi spken in North India (except Bihar & Eastern UP, maybe).
I am referring to modern Panini Sanskrit (with Parishkrit vyakran) which I have basic understanding of, not Vedic Sanskrit.
With Vedic Sanskrit - which is considered somewhat archaic & difficult to master without years of disciplined practice under a well-trained, experienced scholar -- I have to search for meanings of several "sandhi" -created words repeatedly. Rigvedic Sanskrit is no joke.
Not sure whether any of you had similar experience, I found Sanskrit to be

This is what happens when you dont let people merge with rest of the nation in the name of preserving Tamil identity. If only these docs had the knowledge of Hindi, A very large number of them would have got absorbed in North Indian states which have huge shortage of doctors.
It gets better. Apparently the TN govt is having a showdown with the Governor for sending back the bill duly passed by the state assembly seeking to exempt medical colleges in TN from NEET in spite of various SC rulings prohibiting such exemptions in the past .
They're selling it as part of their pro poor & lower castes in TN with the usual rants of a north Indian / Brahminical conspiracy to foist NEET upon TN . All this when the DMK itself was part of the UPA under whom NEET was first executed & arrived in it's present form after a lot of twists & turns including those by the SC .
Incidentally one of the earlier objections by the DMK back when NEET was first implemented was to have candidates write the paper in the language of their choosing which was subsequently granted by the SC after a lot of huffing & puffing.
Now the DMK has shifted the goalposts. One wag on Twitter wrote that someone should suggest capping of Brahmin seats to 1% & the DMK government would immediately withdraw the bill in it's current form to introduce a new bill with such a stipulation.
True.. 20 k probably for a 6 hour daily duty in
Peripheral Town .
Though a MBBS graduate can earn 50/ month on average.
Even I had to move out of my place because of insufficient cases.
The concept of settling somewhere is gone.
We have to move out as when required.
Cream would definitely look abroad.
Competition is creating all marketing and unethical practices ..
10 college s are getting constructed.
Probably In 10 years many doctors will be in waiting list for a 40 k / month job.
Dentistry has already gone to that level.
I think some enterprising doctor should establish Pvt learn hindi classes like they have these learn English Pvt institutes up north.
Hindi isn't difficult to learn as the base of it is Sanskrit of which there's a lot in Tamil . The only reason why it seems alien is due to the presence of FAT - Farsi Arabic Turkic .
Ironically this was revealed to me by a Bihari gentleman I knew who's now settled in Coimbatore running a thriving business & is quite fluent in Tamil though I can't imagine how's he intelligible given his rather
thick Bihari accent. If you're wondering how , Bhojpuri which is commonplace in Eastern UP & Bihar is more Sanskritic based devoid of FAT corruptions.

This is huge welcome step. While we've had industrialist tycoons donate extensively to foreign varsities , this is one of the rare instances of a huge corpus & a very vital one at that to create a discipline sorely lacking in India .
We desperately need more such endeavours to bolster our academia exclusively in STEM disciplines & NOT FRUITLESS UNWORTHY SOCIAL SCIENCES.
Forget education, after 12th open a shop be a businessman and make money. And once business grows keep these literates as muneem in your shop.
Good for you . However going by the quality of your posts here I can safely say not just me most of the other members would be stunned to read this too . But then as they say ,we can't underestimate anyone in this day & age .I have income from multiple sources including 2 shops. So I am chilled
In Mumbai it's known as yeda bankar peda khaana. @lcafanboy & @STEPHEN COHEN can explain more in case you're interested.
Majority of the Engineering and medical Colleges are owned by politicians like DY PATIL COLLEGE owned by Maharashtra minister DY PATIL, BHARTI VIDYAPEETHnowned by patangrao kadam,, etc These politicians sell those seats which makes studying in India expensive than studying abroad in countries like Ukrainian, china, Russia, etc.
There is always a talk of shortage of medical and engineering seats which is true to some extent but more than shortage of Colleges it's the capitation fees or selling of the seats which may cost anywhere between RS 30lakhs to 1crore which is responsible for students going abroad for MBBS and engineering degree. Also responsible is quota and reservation of seats for non deserving idiots from quota chaaps. It's high time they are given basic education 10+2 but for degrees only merits should be considered.
@screambowl are you aware of the cost of those shops first. Now check the rental return you are getting you may be making losses. Check income levels of an educated doctor, Engineer, CA, MBA degree holders, it will put to shame many businessmen. I am damn sure you will regret for not studying after 12th...
Oh , you'd be surprised by his qualifications & I don't mean it in a positive sense but not in a negative sense too .I am damn sure you will regret for not studying after 12th...
Income returns is based on multiple factors. Not all doctors are making millions. Every 100 meters you have 2MBA dudes who work for call centers. In India the quantity of degree holders have gone up but they are not skilled enough in their respected fields.
Why do you have to buy a shop to do your business? You will make losses if you buy a shop and your business doesn't work, and then this will affect your rental returns too in case you put it on rent.
80% foreign medical graduates fail India’s licence exam. Here's what they end up doing instead
This would be high comedy if it wasn't such a tragedy.

Not entirely sure why we let the developed countries off the hook on this examination (which needs to be standardised to begin with).
Would be interesting to see what the failure rates for each country is in a more proper standardised methodology applied consistently on all.
There should be one sole accreditation and testing standard.
Indian govt always makes everything so darn complicated and byzantine in the end.
