After reading not all but many viewpoints, I felt that privatization is not a problem but the problem is its direct relationship with fee hike. Because a heavily populated country like ours, which is massively rich in its human resources needs, instates to polish this abundant resource. Are there enough IITs, and IIMs, to cater the need of our country. The brilliant quota system itself kills most of the talent and the rest is killed by the heavy fee structures then what is left?

So only private institutes or public institute wouldn't fulfill the education need of the country. Regulation in fee structures, good employment opportunities and a regulated quota system would be helpful. Why does a good private college needs to have a heavy fee structure, can't that be regulated by our government. We are educated but its difficult to say how are we going to educate our children. In my views instead of privatization, regulation is needed.

I am rudely opposed the privatization of higher education. The fees of private colleges is not affordable by everyone. This means only wealthy people take admission in that type of colleges even they are talented or not. This is against our constitutional right. I think our government should try to develop government colleges and education system.

I think there should be the privatization in education because as we know there around more than 100 crore of population in India and it is impossible to provide education only through the government sector and as the world is moving faster to move with that speed we all need the better education. Now youths are going abroad for better studies instead of that there need to open thee best school colleges so that student have good amount off choice.

Hello everyone my name is Sumit kumawat.

I don't think that we need more professional colleges in our country because more these colleges more student may be good or bad in studies or do have any interest in the field go for engineering or any professional and due to this in colleges no one cares about study and don't do hard work to learn and get pass just by cramming or by cheating or may be with money that why most of the graduate these days don't have enough technical as well as communication skills.

Privatization of higher education has both good and bad. Good is that because in pvt. Colleges every faculty have not a permanent authority. So, They teach their students properly to got a better result. If they not, They can be expelled out. And bad is that Pvt. Colleges has more fees which is not affordable by every person. Everyone have a desire to get admission in good college to become their future bright. In India, there are few Government colleges but syllabus will have not been updated since 1980s. Every teacher in government colleges consider himself a director. They don't care about students future. And wants to get free in whole day.

There is no doubt that privatization will give quality education but it oppose a basic constitutional right i.e. right to equality. Because it will lead to upliftment of upper class or economically strong people. Poor student will continuously decline from main stream.

Hello friends,

In my opinion when our economy is mixed where both private and govt sector go together in harmony, then whats wrong in privatization in education sector? Privatization motivated many investors to establish their colleges and universities throughout the countries. It provided youth of country with many option or at least have an option.

Imagine if there were only IITS and nits in country is it was possible for many of us to became an engineering graduate? No, because they have limited seats and country is too big. In such scenarios private universities like LPU, amity etc provided good option. So in my view privatization is not a problem but a requirement of country.

First of all I thank to everybody presenting here. I forcibly oppose the privatization of higher education in India. India is a democratic country and our constitution declare every Indian as equal right. These rights are not variable for person to person but equal for all.

There is no doubt that privatization will give quality education but it oppose a basic constitutional right i.e. right to equality. Because it will lead to upliftment of upper class or economically strong people. Poor student will continuously decline from main stream.

Privatisation of Higher Education is not a bloop if used wisely. First I want to take your considerations towards private sector entering in the Food Production field, many will argue that they will be profit oriented, creates gap between poor and rich. But is it the case, Parle G is still available at a price of Rs.5, Atta manufacturer are still selling good quality Atta at economical rate. Do you think you want to really compromise on quality in case of education.

Government schools and their conditions and faculties are well known to each, where are no check on your work, the work suffers. How private sectors works? They always have to work according to consumer demands and if competition is severe, even they have to work in no profit situation. I have educated from a school which is private and charges just 10, 000 Rs. India spends 3-4% of its GDP on education, but instead why does not it gives subsidy on education like it does other sectors of basic amenities like gas, food, ration.

If government is not able to deliver or not able to motivate the government teachers to deliver, then why waste money on their salary, on infrastructure, on bureaucrats to look after primary education in India. Instead give this school to private sectors, who for sake of performance, to sustain in field, will take education as revolution in India.

Needless to say, they will survive only if they makes profit, for making profit they needs students to be enrolled, the students will come if they provides quality at right price. And the price needs to be controlled by Government and they can do it like they are regulating the price for everything in India.

First of all I would like to thank for giving me such a great opportunity to express my views on this topic. I am totally against of privatizing education institute, because INDIA is a democratic country. Every person has equal right for to be educated. But if education is put up in the hand of MNCs, there will be very bad result.

It means that not only Indian companies but also foreign companies will come to make their profit. The poor will remain poor, they wound, t be able to eradicate their poverty. And the private sector including MNCs shall contaminate our great historical background. Please think about the situation when a British teacher will call our national father MAHATMA GANDHI as a rebel. So please save our education. Government should think about.
