Why Engineering Faculty Degrading themselves?

I don't understand the reason behind the engineering colleges deducting the salaries in the name of Recession. Does recession really affect education in any manner? Does engineering colleges have reduced the amount to be paid in the form of fee? Are the students (or say, government of Andhra Pradesh)paying less towards the annual fee?
When the answer is a sure "NO". Then, why deductions in salaries of the employees working in engineering colleges?
Is it because the software employees who were issued pink slips in their respective companies trying to join engineering colleges as faculty? The answer is still a no. Then what could be the reason?
To me, it seems we the post graduates in engineering are degrading ourselves by accepting the offer for a lesser salary. I am surprised to see people willing to work for salaries lesser than 10,000/- Indian Rupees. Even, the daily waged labour will also resist to work if he is not given the amount he charges towards his services. Then why should we degrade ourselves?
Now-a-days we are just after surviving. There exists no chance and scope to save money. The prices are high due to inflation. It is foolish attempt to save money in such circumstances.
One of my colleague said me, " I am unable to save money these days and making loans every now and then."
I replied that, you are atleast surviving and earning your daily bread. If you have a desire to save money or make more money, you are inviting troubles.
So, in such pathetic conditions, I know it is definitely very hard to get a good job with a lucrative salary and to save the job earned is still more difficult as there is no guarantee or security. Still there could be one hope if all of us (Engineering Post Graduates) resist to work for a lesser salary. We will feel united atleast in this way as a daily waged labour do.

What we can do to the Engineering Education?

There are many-a-things I want to discuss on the above topic, "What we can do to the Engineering Education?". First of all, I just wonder why the courses are still the same? I don't understand why the same age old topics are still discussed in the class rooms and why enough practicals are not been taught in Laboratories of the Engineering Colleges?
Can't we dare to revise the topics? Can't we ask the engineering colleges to concentrate more on the practicals rather than theory?
To my belief, it is the visual perception that is more powerful when compared to listening to the age old theory classes. One classic example is that, movies are the good source of memorizing things when compared to reading books. It is a well-known fact that, the things which we visualize gets stored in the sub-conscious memory. But, are the students today understanding the concepts what they read? The same age old topics if not taught in a precise manner, how can we excel?

Do we need these many Engineering Colleges in Andhra Pradesh?

Engineering Education in Andhra Pradesh had become a fun. I have no idea about why All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE, New Delhi, Hyderabad) is still giving permissions to establish new engineering colleges though we had an enough number. Already saturation limit has also been crossed in this regard and still people are establishing new colleges.

I am not against engineering education, but I am worried about all those outcomes (Engineering Graduates) who are already in the market with no proper jobs. When almost many-an-educational institutions are failing to provide good infrastructure and faculty to the students, how can we expect the outcomes to be? It is more than pathetic but still education with out proper amenities like laboratories are running for ruining the lives of the students.

Always I ask my conscience, do we need these many engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh? Not necessary isn't it? If one cannot provide good education, if one cannot create a skilled persona, and if one cannot make a good professional, then do we need these many mushroom like engineering colleges?
