Since ancient times, India has provided the world with some of the greatest minds that have ever been. From Aryabhatta to Swami Vivekananda and S.N. Bose to Homi J. Bhabha, India has produced geniuses in almost every field of work. Such is the brilliance of the Indian education system. After independence, our leaders understood that India, being a developing nation, needs a strong foundation in order to emerge as a world leader and a prosperous nation. Thus, from the very beginning, a lot of emphasis has been given to improve the standards of education in India. After independence, the government has extensively spent on the development and management of schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions throughout the country to encourage the masses to get educated and increase the literacy rate of the country. Various schemes have been launched for under-privileged sections of the society such as free elementary education, mid-day meals etc. to encourage them to acquire education. The Indian education system has gained recognition world-wide and people from abroad tend to come to our country for education. India has produced some of the best professionals who have made their mark across the globe in various fields of research, business etc. However, a gradual degradation has been observed in the standards of education in India over the previous years. A major reason behind this downfall is the social taboos that have surrounded the education system. Nowadays, studying in government schools is not considered very good, rather it has become a general notion that such schools are meant for economically backward sections and such notions prevail even in such modern times when the education standards in government schools have improved manifold and are equally competent to the public schools. Another pressing issue in this regard is that the students opt for their higher education entirely on the basis of their academic performance and totally overlook their interests. Main reason for this is the parental pressure and the pressure from peer groups. The standard of higher education in India has fallen much below as it was a few years ago. The lack of number of educational institutions for higher studies has created a problem of stiff competition in which a majority of the students are left behind. Also, more emphasis is given on theoretical knowledge and no practical knowledge is provided to the students. The curriculum taught in majority of institutions is irrelevant with perspective of jobs which has created a serious problem of lack of employability skills in the Indian youth. At last, I would like to sum up by saying that major amendments need to be made to improve the education system in India. More emphasis needs to be given on practical knowledge to create employability and more institutions with up to date infrastructural facilities and excellent teaching faculties need to be established as early as possible. ldquoEducation is the fundamental pillar of any society and it takes a lot of efforts to strengthen it.rdquo
