'Education Emergency' in India

India has ambitious plans to increase graduate numbers in a way which would give it the size and status of an education superpower

India stands at a lowly 119 among 169 countries in the latest Human Development Index (HDI) report of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). India is way behind even most of its South-East Asian neighbours, and has been slotted under the Medium Human Development category, the penultimate among four

The UNDP report says only 4.5 people out of every 100 use the internet in India

To have more graduates, we need to start at the primary school level and arrest the number of school drop outs. The percentage of kids going from high school to college is a lot higher than those going from primary school to high school.

Lack of internet usage is to a large extent dependant on infrastructure which is still not there in C & D class towns, let alone villages.

Girls need education. Many families in North India have their girls married by age 12. Drop out rate of boys is ver high.

I think you confused the title for another article about the emergency in education in Pakistan.

"arrest the number of school drop outs"

Bad joke alert - we should educate, not arrest.
