Education is the Basis
for Tomorrow's Future
New Delhi, November 29, 2006
Under the title “The Key Challenges Ahead” of the India
Economic Summit 2006, jointly organized by the World Economic
Forum and the Confederation of Indian Industry it was declared
that the government will soon draft new legislation to allow
foreign higher education institutions to play a role in the
higher education sector in India.
Improving higher education standards and technical training
and broadening learning opportunities nationwide were
identified as key areas of development. While there are
concerns that foreign players might lure away professors from
Indian universities, there is also the likelihood that NRI
professors may be attracted back to India. The setting up of
this mechanism would attract Foreigners to attain education
from India, like Indians do now in abroad.
The India Economic Summit 2006 identified four key issues
under the sub-themes:
- State and National Competitiveness
- Managing Growth
- Risk Management
- Infrastructure Development
The Summit closed with a high sense of optimism about the
future of the Indian economy when Minister Kamal Nath ended
the discussions by saying, “Our course is right, the momentum
is right and we will reach where we want to reach.”
