FREQUENT traffic jams have been observed in front of our educational institutes for a long time now. These include schools, colleges and universities, some of which are prestigious. Schools which do not offer parking and are built on a main road pose such a problem.

Educational institutes are thought of as the cornerstone of learning and personality-building. Apart from causing agony to passenger on the road, we are not teaching our students to show concern for the agony others face because of us. If a supermart can be served with a notice, why not our educational institutes?
