Perhaps, we can, provided people like Sibal and company continue with the focused, target-oriented and practical viewpoint combined with strategically applied methods right from the grass-root level. Didn't one read all those facts/ theories of Nalanda being the epitome of education and knowledge in near history; and considerable percentage of Indians in NASA, Intel, IBM, etc; besides so many public-private initiatives. All it shall need to bolster is a combined effort strategy .. from government, you and me.

Yes, India will be the most educated country by 2030. In addition to that India can achieve 100% literacy. With the central government packages for elderly eduction packages it is very much possible. Kerala could achieve this status, then why can't other states?

May be yes, we may have lot of educated people with higher degrees. My doubt is "will they eligible for those degrees?". I met recently few of the engineering students about the complete B.Tech. CSE, the unfortunate situation is they don't know that they don't know any thing. Literally they are illiterates. I am sorry to say, they are not at all eligible for B.Tech. CSE. In such scenario, how to treat India an educated country. It is a pathetic situation. No doubts, IITs, IIMs, etc. are producing good qualitative students. They are about 1% to 2% students. But what about the rest of the students? Can we call this as an education?

If we observe carefully then we can see the changes happening in the education system of the country. Education has been liberalised so that everybody can have access to it.
Technology is going to play a major role in the education sector in the 21st century & it has already been promoinent in many areas. So, if we progress at the same pace then India will be the most educated country in the world.

In numbers a higher population may get higher educated. Yet will it be total in spread the answer is absolute NO. Will we improve application of education- would need hard work and course corrections. Would we be able to excel- Not until we increase R & D and begin to encourage innovators.

I can’t agree with Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Kapil Sibal, because we can’t say this without giving education to aam admi of India. Today on primary education on govt. schools in very poor condition & private School is going so expensive some time middlemen is also feel help less to pay fee. There is so many poor countries in the word, there is free education for everyone in there. Without primary education how can we say that our nation cans most educated country in the word when our more than 50% population is uneducated?

This is inevitable. But the large number of literate will not be employable by present industry. We need more practicals/interships bundled in every course to expose the students with practical expertise.

well i guess other nations won't be on a standby mode with respect to education till then. I admit that we will be attaining 100% literacy till then but other nations would then come up with more advanced educational programs.

What is more important numbers or quality? A class of 100 + students from std 1 to 5 in the same class.... taught by sometimes one .. two techers at same pitch and all repeating .... Right to education bill does not give us right to fantasies please look at the ground realities at grass root level. Look at the sarva siksha abhiyan which guarantees free primary education has just faired in reports think about the reality. I am not a pessimist but education in democracy cannot be demanded from its citizens but it has to be linked with incentives for children of poor farmers, daily wage earners, scavengers, girl child, etc. so that they get drawn to schools. I wish my forcast to be wrong. Current requirements in education is creating 1. Increased opportunity in vocational training 2. Economic support to merit holders at all levels 3. Greater investment in infrastructure, human capital, accessibility and availability of schools, educational institutions, vocational training colleges, etc.

Well it depends; we may or may not see India as the most educated country. Until & unless we free the education industry from clutches of ill practices this dream will remain a dream. Today the education system is suffering from many diseases. The fees for schools & colleges are so high that a common child can't afford it. Even LKG's are priced so high that it becomes difficult for parents to provide education to their children. With all these problems I don't think we will be able to achieve the goal.
