The 'Educated' India They Inherited

In this post , lets take a look what legacy was left behind by Congress led Government at Centre in 2014, When Current BJP Government took over.

यूपीए 'शिक्षा का अधिकार अधिनियम' को लागू करने वाली आधुनिक भारत में पहली सरकार है

• While Literacy rate increased by 10% during Congress led UPA government in 2011

• Enrollment in Schools saw 20% rise in primary as Middle level education.

• Higher Education  saw a massive upsurge as is evident from the data below. Due to increase in number of  higher education institutions , Students enrollment percentage also got increased. 10 new NIT's, 8 new IIT's and 7 new IIM's were opened up by Congress government at Centre.

• In Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan the expenditure went up  from Rs. 2,730 Cr during last year of NDA Govt -in 2003-04 to Rs. 20,841 Cr in 2011-12
• The allocation for Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan linked with Right to Education (RTE)  was more than double for the 12th Plan

As is evident from the data above that Congress led UPA Government took Education to higher levels Starting from 'Right to Education' and Massive Expansion in higher education Institutions. Such a feet obviously poses a challenge to current BJP Government at Center to carry this legacy forward
