Autonomy!!!!!

While celebrating Independence Day,a question arises in every Indian mind that why still after 60 years of Independence,INDIA still lags behind in terms development compared to Japan,South korea,Singapore and many other such countries! Pandit Jawaharlal established IITs and IIMs with an aim to provide Indian students world class educational infrastructure.It was also supposed that this institutions can serve as a glaring examples for all future governments to establish more institutions on such pattern.Despite its wide acclaim & reputation IITs and IIMs have gained across the world,they are nowhere in worlds top 50 college list.The main reason attributed to their abysmal condition is the poor form of governance still practised in this institution.Though autonomous status was bestowed on them quite long ago,HRD ministry still consider them as their personal fiefdom.The condition of public sector industries is quite similiar to those of IITs and IIMs.Government still owns majority of stakes in them and even navratna status to some of them did not guarantee full freedom to be run by professionals.Its high time that government should grant full freedom to all educational institutions and public sector industries in all matters related to their governance and finance.Not only those institution be allowed to run by proffesionals but all age old laws enacted while they were being set be renewed so as to bring them at par with their competitors.
