Indian education system turns out millions of graduates each year. But there are many challenges which India is facing which needs to be addressed. Some of the key challenges are increasing accessibility and improving the quality of education in rural areas, increasing funding especially for higher education, improving basic infrastructure for primary and secondary education in rural areas, improving literacy rates, high drop outs from primary and secondary education and reforming curriculum across nation. Another major issue is the reservation policy of the Indian Government for the SCs, STs and the OBCs, in the education sector. Though a boon for the depressed classes, this policy has also proved to be a bane for many. This has prompted many bright young students to move to other countries where merit alone is the qualification for admission resulting in a brain drain.
It’s been estimated that India will have the largest youth population when other countries have ageing population. With 35 percent of population under the age of 15, it is important that the Government should increase its spending on education. The challenges in rural and urban areas are varied and should be addressed independently. In urban areas, though there are many private colleges and schools, the high fee structure and the donation factor should be tackled seriously by the Government. The monetary issue hinders many students from pursuing higher education. In rural areas, the issues which should be addressed are basic infrastructure, quality of teaching, recruitment of teachers, reducing drop outs, education to girl child and increasing literacy rates. Though there are lots of good programs initiated by the Government, it should be implemented properly to reach the target group. Overall education is critical for the development of economy and with increasing young population if these challenges are tackled wisely, India has a very bright future.

it is really true. but guys u know that what is the cause of this improper execution of development programs.it is because the execution is in the hands of the old and corrupt people present in the government system. these people are just busy in making money for their own families without thinking of INDIA’s development. U can see that there are no proper water & power supply in many areas of country and not only this but today also there are huge number of people who don’t get even proper meals. And lack of good medical facilities in areas other than our metropolitans causes death of many people.And in metro cities also there are many pits on the road , rates of items of daily use are so high that middle class people cant afford & the poor one’s…….., forget they cant even think of having them. these are a few blunders i’m mentioning but there are a million more problems like that for eg:- high fees for education & donation , bribes to govt. clerks to get the work done quickly else they will keep on pending your work & much more………………..it really hurts to see what we are going through and still we don’t raise voice unitedly against it. We YOUNGISTANIS have to take a stand and ACT !!!! if u guys are ready then we can form our own party and enter elections and form our own government….!!!!!!!! comm’on youngistanis. and we can easily win because in india about 50% of total population is the “Youth”………….please guys get united and make india better than america, japan, and almost all the countries of the world.
Right from Independence, India has made a conscious attempt to bridge divides of caste, gender, religion and economic status. This Act is a reaffirmation of Parliament’s commitment to invest in all our children’s education. The Right to Education Act will is not just a symbolic gesturebut will be backed up by budgets and education infrastructure investments and will improve access to education to every Indian.
