Focus on education

Indian policymaker Sam Pitroda’s concern over the bad quality of education in India barring five per cent universities has to be given serious thought by the government. According to Mr Pitroda, there are eight bills on education currently lying in Parliament awaiting clearance, but which are stuck due to “generational changes”. Among the hundreds other priorities of the government, education must also be included with urgency, for on it rests the foundation of the country’s future citizens.
