In 1993 taking que from the Liberisation of the economy.

“We have been in India for long and acedmics for long. Education in India run by the government of India. Anyone who has money in the pocket won’t send their child in a government school till 12th.if i speak about higher education the parent are willing to send their kids in government colleges. The difference is very fundamental. The difference is the governance is done by the government till 12th. Come to higher education the IIT’s and IIM’s the fundamental rights completely changes and the accountability of the board is much higher.”

Kamal Singh,Executive Director ,UN Global Compact Network India, said,

“In 2015 United nation introduced 17 sustainable goals which were accepted by all of the country. On of the key SG’s which was introduced was quality education. I’m happy to say that countries like China, Europe and America have achieved lot of success we india need yet to achieve that.”

“When I talk about the top institutions they set the trend. We have to see futurization of the B-Schools takes place. Okay before we see Futurization we have to see what we are doing today. As a business school professor when we teach we realize it that there are two important things which come up with the business schools. One we want to get into teaching and training and we want to develop thoughts leaders for the business schools. Second I was talking about thought leadersship. ”

Amit Agnihotri, Founder, MBAUniverse.com said,

“Do we have to many business schools in the country and we know their are 3500 business schools in India. Look at china which is 6 times bigger in than than India and around 1000 business schools in the country. So does India need so many business schools is the question to be asked.”

Second thing is business plays a very significant role in the development as any branch leaders are grommed by the business schools.”
