Dear Sri Biswas,
Many thanks for your post ; for addressing an extremely important issue (at least in my opinion!)
In my personal opinion it is a big YES!
Many of us have acquired degrees some two, three decades ago. And by virtue of sheer "experience" (or to be honest, by virtue of seniority!) we have attained senior posts while the subject has undergone many transformations by this time. Had there been accreditation system prevailing in our country (like say,USA &many other advanced countries), we had to undergo continuing education programme or some cort of requisite courses to freshen our rusty knowledge & expertise. In that case we would have been in a very relaxed position both morally and professionally!!
I am not sure whether my contemporary co-professionals will opine with me or not, but as I personally feel there should have some criteria for evaluation at specific interval of time (say every five years or so) However, as prerequisite,.some sort of courses need to be there and organs should be established for conducting such courses and to evaluate/accreditate old fellows like us!
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
