Now these
days it’s been observed that students go for higher studies with less or no interest.
Sometimes they take it casually. Moreover, there are very few institutions in
India who are giving quality inputs to students.
At one end
we claim that in education India would rank 3rd among all countries
by 2020. If we observe overall ranking of relevant institutions it’s seen that
in the year 2000, out of 500 there were 2 Indian Universities / Institutes were
featured in the list and 1 institution from China.
Now almost
after a decade in 2010 the tables have changed with only 1 institution from
India being featured and 32 institutions are featured from China.
It specifically
spells out, how much we are lagging behind in terms of overall % of higher
educational institutions, number of students pursuing higher education. We are
not only beaten in by the developing and developed countries in terms of GDP,
Exchange of foreign currency but also in terms of number of students pursuing
higher education.
Budget
allocation by Govt. of India as per 2012 plan is about 6 % which is not going
to be adequate, and therefore allocation must be made appropriately, i.e.
minimum 10 % in order to improve the scenario. Basic education must reach to
maximum number of children from different strata of the society so that they
are eligible to pursue higher education.
These are
some of the points if we practice in future for increasing percentage of students
seeking higher education, the scenario will certainly increase., and students
in turn will start adding value to the corporate world and towards the growth
of our nation in the near future.
