I say ‘A Good Bill’, What’s your view?

  The Cabinet on Monday cleared a bill that will enable Foreign Universities to  setup campuses in India. While reporting for the Foreign Universities Bill, issues of shortage of faculty and poaching of academicians are raised by media etc

Already one lakh Indian students go out every year for higher education from India. Most of these students go out of the country to pursue their higher studies because of lack of facilities for quality education in the country. This also costs a huge foreign exchange outgo to the exchequer.

Till the BSNL-MTNL era, the Indian telecom sector had similar apprehensions and it was unimaginable that the level of  telecom services will increase so much when it was transferred to  private sector . The aviation sector also saw similar changes after it was opened to the private sector ending the Indian Airlines, Air India monopoly.

The Indian educational sector is bound to be more prosperous  in the coming  days to come by the step of allowing the foreign universities to setup campuses in the country. It will  attract more aspirants towards this opportunity and will bring in qualitative changes in the educational system of India.

While, many other civil services offer better perks than academics, the real mentors of the country i.e. the academicians rank poorly on this count as well. 

Mr. Kapil Sibal deserves all kudos for pushing through this bill which will bring out all qualitative changes in the educational system of the country.

This policy will attract  students from other countries for pursuing education at lower costs as India has the advantage of lower infrastructure cost.

The educational sector is also a very similar sector which is based on the same two components i.e. quality manpower and infrastructure and India certainly has an edge over many other countries in availability of both these components.
