Why do you think the teachers don't need training? Why do you think that CDAC will always have omniscient teachers? :-)
Thanks for all the responses, though few were a bit senseless!
About using guidance, different people follow different approaches towards learning. A piece of documentation, a book, an individual, an institution - any of these could be a guide. Depending on availability, affordability, and effectiveness, people decide which one to use. Not that one can learn only with guidance, but that is a well accepted, effective way. Personally I feel it is senseless if somebody say "NCST staff members should go through Linux kernel code to understand the kernel internals, looking for any guidance means research is dead!".
Unavailability of experts in one or the other area is a problem being faced by many organisations like NCST. And that is inevitable when the experts leave the organisation for more lucrative jobs! :)
Thanks and regards,
