这所位于孟买的印度工学院的官员们称,学生们不愿参加社交活动,很多人要么早上上课迟到,要么干脆在课堂上睡觉。  学生处处长普拉卡什·格帕兰说:“现在,有的学生忙于上网,甚至不知道住在隔壁的同学是谁。”  “互助友爱的宿舍文化已经一去不复返了。我们认为,这是个不健康的趋势。”  拥有5000名学生的印度孟买工学院是印度七大工学院之一,这七所工学院国际知名,同时也是全球顶尖科技集团的人才库。  但高难度的课程、激烈的竞争和“与世隔绝”式的校园生活严重影响了这些学生的身心健康。  沉闷、不正常的生活方式在印度工学院是一种普遍现象,在过去五年中,印度工学院至少有九名学生自杀。  规定颁布之前,学生们可以在宿舍里无限制的免费上网,但除了学习外,很多学生都利用这一便利上网冲浪、聊天、下载电影和音乐、写博客或玩游戏等。  格帕兰说,从(本)周一开始,学校在校内的13个宿舍实施限制上网措施,每晚11点至12:30这一时段网络将被关闭,以此来鼓励学生早睡、并试图用这种办法促使他们走出宿舍。  他说:“学生们的学习成绩在下降,参加文体和社会活动的人也减少了。”  但这一举措实施的并不顺利,学生们说他们不喜欢自己的生活受管制。  电子系的学生拉吉维说:“现在我们得听着摇篮曲入睡了。”Oneday,ateachertookhispupilstoachickenfarmtopayavisit.Whentheycameneartheincubator,chickjustgotoutofitseggshell.一天,老师带学生到养鸡场参观,当他们走近孵化器时,刚好一只小鸡破壳而出。"It"swonderfultoseealittlethingcomeoutfromtheeggshell,isn"tit?"theteachersaid.“看见一个小生命从蛋壳里出来,岂不是很奇妙的吗?”老师说。"Yes,sir."saidoneoftheboys,"butitwouldbemorewonderfulifweknewhowachickgetsintoitseggshellbeforehand."“是的,老师。”一个男学生说,“可是,如果我们知道它是怎样事先钻进蛋壳里的那就更奇妙了。”故事二:
