摘要

The sad state of affairs in undergraduate science education in India is a topic much talked about. I present here a set of constructive and concrete suggestions that can remove the existing ills while adding value to the science undergraduate degree. A three-pronged approach, covering practicals, lectures and projects has been suggested with as much detail as possible. The Chemistry (Honours) course at the University of Delhi has been used as a model system for citing specific examples. It is rather strange to note that in spite of several essays/talks on science education in Indian universities doing the rounds, the student input is very much missing. This is not because the students do not realize the ills of the system, but perhaps because of the fact that students, largely, are either too concerned with developing their 'career' (whether in science or elsewhere) or have become rather apathetic over the years, due to prolonged exposure to a rather rigid system. I, therefore, feel it is essential to consider the student perspective on such a vital issue. Instead of taking a negative approach, i.e. focusing on what are the things that are amiss with our kind of science education, I seek to take a fresh look at the available resources and make a set of constructive suggestions which can be implemented hopefully without much difficulty, within the existing set-up.
