In terms of expenditure incurred on education, particularly on higher education, during the year 2010-11, the government spent around Rs. 15, 440 crore which is about 85 per cent of the revised budget estimates for the year. The recent 66th round of NSSO survey reveals that between 1999 and 2009, spending on education in general jumped by 378 per cent in rural areas and 345 per cent in urban areas of the country. The survey further reveals that spending on children’s education underlines sharp increase– 63 per cent for rural and 73 per cent for urban families. However, if we measure the expenses on education as a percentage to GDP, India lags behind some developed/ developing nations. We recognize that the gap in investments in education in India can perhaps be filled by private sector playing a crucial role.
