Reform the educational sector fast

Educational sector is overdue for reforms and in this context allowing foreign universities to set up establishments is a welcome step.The setting up of educational institutions in India by politicians or with the active involvement of politicians to curry favours from the power that be, has brought down the quality of education and the whole society suffers because of that is the ground reality. Those institutions that produce employable candidates prefer to send them abroad or the candidates themselves prefer to be employed outside India is an accepted fact . What the country needs is quality educational Institutions encouraging research and capable of producing best of human resources useful for the nation and the society. Ethical standards which have been vanishing fast from business and commerce and also from the Social life need to be fully restored and politics should be kept away from Education, Education is the foundation of a strong nation needs to be recognised and aimed for. Education should aim for inter-alia skill development, knowledge spreading, good culture, civilised behaviour, high professionalism, good community living, excellent civic sense among all citizens, consideration and peaceful coexistence irrespective of religion, caste, creed or sex. The quality of education should reflect in the standards of living in a peaceful safe and comfortable atmosphere aiming for welfare for all. The authorities should find ways and means to provide best of education at free of cost or  at minimum cost and remove other freebies which spoil only the human resources and add to all kinds of social and economic problems.                                                    Vidya dhanam Sarvadhanal Pradhanam.
