Hi there,
I recently replied to one of the posts
by a student who has voiced her / his concern over an unjustified billing by
one of the facility providers in her / his Institution. It just dawned on me
that such problems pop up in many institutions these days. Students instead of
responding to it, end up reacting to it on Social Media. There definitely is a huge difference between
responding to a problem and reacting to a problem; which brings its own
consequences.
So, here are a few pointers that all of
you (students) might want to consider when trying to garner support against the
unjustified fee bills by the facility providers such as Mess Contractor or even
by the Administration of an Institution, during this pandemic.
1. Make sure that your focus is on
fixing the problem instead of putting the spotlight on people / administration,
whenever you make your representation to anyone / forum.
2. Think a lot before posting such
issue on Social Media. Trying to get ‘attention’ in Social Media Platforms;
through comments and likes may not always solve the problem. There is a difference between helping hands and
hands stretched out. Moreover, a problem that is not well
understood may not be effectively solved by any of us (including me).
3. Yes, Social Media Platforms can be
used to voice many issues. But, there is a flipside to such a post.
Students who strongly retaliate against the Administration of a College or
Institution are actually tarnishing the image of the Institution without resorting
to the easy, and straight-forward approach of reaching out to the right
decision maker first, and trying to reason things out.
4. An Institution’s Image / Goodwill is
built by the toiling of both Academics and students every year through stellar
performance. So, naturally it takes decades. But in no time the Image of an
Institution or a student can take a permanent damage due to the unthoughtful
actions / words on Social Media.
5. Goodwill
or Reputation is the intangible asset to an individual and to an Institution
whose value is realized only after it is being lost. Please think about that.
6. On top of all, prospective employers
would not want to hire resources / students who have previous records of
riotously trying to get attention on Social Media, and trying to solve an
internal affairs of a college / Institution or organization without the due
diligence, and without weighing all win-win approaches available.
At times, a decision to decide later or decide with all info factored-in with delay, can also prove to be prudent. I hope at least a few students will agree with my stand.
Best Wishes from us,
