Is India really bringing out the best professionals from its students through its education policy?
I think yes we are, though its a bit slow but nevertheless its happening, the recent trend shows increase in literacy rate, more and more girls taking up professional and advanced courses.
In my opinion with the burgeoning population we now, have more challenges to frame the proper education policy so the basic education is provided to all and the best of research and higher education facilities are provided to all the deserving students, plus I think the cost of higher education in India is very expensive, because of which most of the deserving students are not able to get desired qualification.

I would like to thank MAYUR DESHMUKH Pooja Kohli Nikhlesh Mathur Arvind Joshi245 for their valuable inputs, what I feel is we do have good education policy, the real problem is proper implication and accountability.

Unless the Indian universities become research intensive they cannot compete globally. and we Indians graduating from these universities will fail big time in achieving global competence.

from my point of view , the answer is know.The way the education policy is being implemented in the country is not very fruitful for the children who will be the future of the country. To create a best professional out of this we have to apply or we can say change the way the traditonal policy is being taken place into consideration. the way we can change some of the policy of teaching as well as we can train some of the teachers for the betterment of the students.that will help to create the best professional out of them. We can implement new teaching methods, we can start a course on soft skills that will tell the students about the ski

I think I will also go with MSK and Nikhlesh ji we still not even somewhere near to the level where we can say that we are bringing out best professionals. and it is not because we don't have the infra or money power but it is because our society is biased. Biased towards the rich, biased towards boys, biased towards children of politicians. that is the reason we are where we are today.

Nikhlesh Mathur you are right in pointing, that yes we do have the plans and policies but the main problem comes in implementing it. I think we all must remember we are still a developing country and despite of that we have made tremendous growth in the past 60 years,level of our education and education system has improved tremendously. The main thing is we lack research oriented students, how many of students take up phd after masters,the number is very minimal, because all want to earn as soon as possible, and even those who wish pursue phd, then there is lack of infrastructure to go ahead. Today Indian scientists, doctors, engineer

Nikhlesh Mathur apart from these we must also take into consideration some positive sign as well like,we even have scientists like Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam, who got his entire education in India, at the moment ISRO is doing really well with its ambitious program Chandrayan.I agree to your points, but even after that we are progressing in education, yes but at a snail's pace. The recent trend has shown increase in the number of students in school and colleges, at the same time there is a decline in college drop outs. The real problem is how many students are accessible to all these government strategies, very recently 'Aakash' world's cheapes

To the question that "Is India really bringing out the best professionals from its students through its education policy", I would painfully reply in the negative. The reasons could be different for different people with different thought processes but the crux of the matter is we do NOT have an education policy which can run with "The Time" and be flexible enough to the changes occuring globally at a rapid pace. This is my thought and I validate it through my observations that there are many Indians who display sparks of their talent but the same is not nurtered sufficiently or these sparks are extinguished prematurely because of some

This is my thought and I validate it through my observations that there are many Indians who display sparks of their talent but the same is not nurtered sufficiently or these sparks are extinguished prematurely because of some vested interests.Had we got a strong education policy it would have been capable of hand-picking the talent spread country-wide and moulding them into shining stars. Just spare a moment to think who are actually the Indians who have made their presence felt globally.; they are either the few super rich ones or the ones who belong to entertainment industry or to the sporting field, and barely someone in the academic field. And maximum of these have made it on their own. All of them are countable on the fingers. This would not have been the case if the education policy had been strong and good. So in a nutshell India does not have an education policy which can be discussed with head held high. And when it does not have a good policy the dream of it yielding best professionals is still a distant dream. Here we must not pat our backs because of the global demand of engineers in the IT sectors. We must not feel happy that we manufacture many materials which is banned in other countries. We must not smile at the sight of NRI's emptying their purses & flocking to theatres to see movies which are like documentries on rich/poor India. There could be some harsh truths behind the scene. Who knows the world may be taking us for a ride in this context.

@Pankaj, you are right in what ever you have said, but I think you have slightly deviated from the discussion topic, the discussion is to know that contemporary policies and strategies of education is really helping the students or not.

Like Gandhiji had stated, “I shall remain a student till the last day of my life" . is actually the real sentiment of a true learner / student. If we are passionate in what we wish to pursue or do in our life, then we must have the yearning to attain knowledge and wisdom to enable us to feel confident in whatever we do. We should not look for the degrees and diplomas and certificates as a necessity to earn or get qualified for a higher level in life. We must yearn to attain wisdom and knowledge in whatever field we wish to pursue and at the same time, take out time to attain general knowledge that would allow us to participate or

We must yearn to attain wisdom and knowledge in whatever field we wish to pursue and at the same time, take out time to attain general knowledge that would allow us to participate or be attentively present in any formal or informal forum / family / friend / public gathering. When attempting to employ anyone, organizations (private or public) must necessarily take a GK test and aptitude test on the nature of job to ascertain whether the person has the adequate wisdom / knowledge or not; many MBAs and Engineers and Honors students That I have come across in life, are found to lack basic knowledge and information; they have studied by the rote and are unable to apply their “so called learnings'” because it has merely been bookish. I fully agree with Mr.Murthy. Regards, Pankaj Kayathwal (pankaj.kayathwal@lge.com)

SmritiMatra I totally agree with your points, we have the policies in place, its about how to penetrate so that we can give correct guidance to the students at right time.

There are enough opportunities for those who are pro-active but not enough guidance yet. There are many students who do not know what all can be done. If only we can reach out to them, which is our aim as Shiksha Expert, many will be able to tread the right path.
