As this is the root cause behind many social problems. Our special emphasis is on women and child education as mother is the first teacher of a child and if you teach a woman you teach one whole family. The level of primary and secondary education must be boosted. All the problems start from primary level itself, if a student does not have a strong base, then he or she cannot complete higher education successfully.
The government should make effort to uplift backward classes by strengthening the educational base of these classes at the primary level. The government should start a campaign to ensure that students from all sections of society are encouraged to pursue studies at least till 12th standard. The number of seats in premier institutes may be increased, but then the quality of education should not be hampered. To attain this, it will be necessary to increase the teaching faculty as well along with the infrastructure. The unavailability of seats is not as big a problem to the SC/ST/OBC as their financial crunch is. Assistance may be provided in the forms of scholarships.
The expenditure on higher and technical education is 0.4% and 0.1% of GDP respectively. This should be raised. Progeny of those who have got a position through quota should be denied the same privilege. One ‘quota-case’ in every family is sufficient. The misuse of the quota by the powerful and the rich should be taken care by proper investigations and checks must be undertaken.
The essence of our effort is to ensure that every child has an equal opportunity, not to become equal but to become different – to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possess.
