education
the true picture
India is young: 71% of the population is below 35 years. About 29 million students become a part of the education system each year, which is equivalent to the number of students in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and UAE put together. 35.2 million students pass out of high school each year and less than 10%of them get enrolled in a college. Many of them cannot a ord to go to college while there is also an acute shortage of quality colleges. Though there arent enough colleges, many openings do not get lled because the quality of education standard in more than half of the colleges is very poor. Of the 3.5 million college graduates each year, <60% get jobs within 12 months.

Education Mix
72% of the students enter the Arts stream and only 28% enter Science, IT, Law, Commerce, Engineering, Medicine or Management streams.

Is it a sustainable mix to fuel industrial growth?

A definite No!
Theres an acute shortage of skilled personnel in manufacturing, service and construction sectors. The Government of India has realised this gap and our PM has stressed up on the importance of education on the 60th Anniversary of our Independence. The Government envisages to start 6000 Government-run schools and colleges in 372 districts in addition to 8 IITs, 7 IIMs and 5 IIScs. This alone might not be the answer. We need to bridge this gap with a holistic solution. Businesses today are fast paced and dynamic. If India doesnt grab employment opportunities, China will.

globalisation of education:
the extra edge
Employability of Indian youth will increase.
Shortage of skilled workers would be addressed. India can turn into a regional hub for education with high quality foreign universities opening their affiliate centers in India. Indian students can interact with Global professors. Indian students can access world class labs and libraries.

imagine
a truly global education city

Why an Education City?

Severe shortage of quality educational Institutions / Universities in India. Government alone cannot meet the rising demands. Private investment in education on rise year on year. Newer educational streams such as Biotechnology, IT, Soft skill development and Research up to Postdoctoral level gels well with the requirement of skilled human resource in future. Given the demand for highly skilled personnel, foreign universities are on the look out for a liate institutions in India, capable of setting up campuses with modern and state of art facilities. India has the potential to emerge as regional education hub for Asia and Africa. Places that are low on real estate costs and high on transport connectivity will emerge clear winners.

education city: a reality

India needs 80 new world-class Universities. Dozens of international schools have been sprung up across the country. The only world-class centres of excellence STARTED in the last 7-8 years are a couple of IITs / IIMs and business schools such as ISB. In order to achieve economic growth of 10%, and to

sustain our competitiveness against China, we need

to add world-class colleges and universities which churn out over 2 million students each year. At an average 25,000 students per university, we need 80 new truly global universities. The only one on the anvil is the 100,000 student, 8000-acre Vedanta University in Orissa.
