1) India has the world's largest higher education system - but quality lacking.

2) Universities have become ivory towers without much industry interaction - research suffering
3) Make children use their hands for life skills! Most can't even assemble a cycle even after 12 years of education.

6) India's social group inclusion is happening at fantastic pace now.
SC 16.6% of population, 14.6% are in college!!
ST 8% of pop, 5.6% in college.
BC make up 40% of pop, 36% in college.
All social groups in India are now doing great compared to earlier decades.

The only social group still lagging is Muslims. 15% of population, but only 5.2% in college. But the good news in that is 7.7% college enrollment increase for Muslims girls & 7.6% for boys since in 2018 compared to 2012. Slowly getting better last decade.

7) India produces 45000 PhDs in a year, but mostly of low quality irrelevant topics.
Only 500 in Computer Science (IT giant!!).
Only 3% of IITs research in the same IIT, after graduating.
India has a long way to go, but the first #NewEducationPolicy in 34 years is promising.
