We need more colleges to cope up the demand for Institutions

<p style="text-align: justify;">Indian education sector is one of the growing sectors. We are the nation of the young people. Around 40% population of our country is young. Government is coming out of some or the other plan to educate the young generation. Government has taken many initiatives like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan, Right To Education, Primary Education, and now bringing the top foreign universities to India.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Government is trying to give the best education to the new generation. To cope up with the growing demand for institutions and higher <img style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 3px 4px; float: right;" src="https://images.shiksha.com/mediadata/images/1269606820phpcpIKeD.jpeg" alt="" width="150" height="110">education we need to have more and better institutions in the country. We have many good institutions and universities in the country like IIMS and IITs which have recognition not only in the country but abroad also. Some of our institutions stand among the list of top institutions of the world.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />HRD Minister Mr. Kapil Sibal said, &ldquo;To cater to the growing demand for institutes of higher education, India needs at least 800 more universities and 35,000 colleges in 10 years. He said that by 2020, India hopes to increase the percentage of students going for higher education from 12.4% to 30%. It is not possible for the government to do this alone, which is why it wants to involve the private sector and foreign education providers. India has about 480 universities and around 22,000 colleges&hellip; But we are still 40% less than the required numbers, which I think is critical,&rdquo;</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />The government is leaving no stone unturned to give the students best education. Now students are more profession oriented. They want to do some or the other sort of professional course. Paying attention to the growing demand for professional courses the government has opened many colleges and institutions for that. We need more trained and professional manpower to make the country grow. If we have trained and skilled people the growth rate of the country will increase and Indian will stand among the most powerful nations of the world.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />But to make this happen we still want lot more institutions and colleges for the students who want to get admission in one of the top institutions of the country. Those who want to learn some skill and get education. It is not all about the best institution of the country but it is more about making it easy for all the students to get education in the desired courses and colleges they are looking for.&nbsp; Bringing the top foreign institutions in the country will surely improve this situation and help our nation to produce more professional manpower for the country.</p> <p><strong><br />Source: Manisha Verma (Team Shiksha)<br /></strong></p> <p><strong><br />Date: 25th March, 2010<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></strong></p> <hr /> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">For further details about related courses and colleges please click below:</span></strong><br /><br /><a href="https://science.shiksha.com" target="_blank">Related courses and colleges</a></p>
