Educational institutions suffering from political interference

By understanding the risks of political interference and implementing proactive measures, India can guarantee that its higher education system remains a genuine space for intellectual inquiry and critical thought, which is essential for a prosperous democracy and sustainable future. Today, parents provide such education to their children so that they can make a career and earn enough money. The ideal situation is that education should be such that it makes the student a better human being. Only a better human being will be a better citizen, for whom the country and national interest will be paramount.
The Central and State Governments should undertake to achieve this goal. For this, education must be given top priority and educational institutions should be free from political interference. They should not be allowed to become the arena of politics.
