By the way the govt. budget allocation for the tertiary University is a joke. When I say Govt allocation this means total investment by companies and govt in Unis. Harvard alone has endowment 10 times more than whole budget of Indian tertiary education.

Higher education dominated last year’s education budget (with an increase of 13% over the 2015-16 budget)

India spent 3% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on education, compared to 3.8% in Russia, 4.2% in China, 5.2% in Brazil, and 6.9% in South Africa,

What have we been doing past 70 years? Looks like everything was legally looted and sent to England through puppets.

University spending is pointless IMO if you can't fix primary education etc which comes before university.

The useless government needs to repeal RTE and needs to allow complete privatization of schools. I think 70 years has been enough of a sample to show how useless the education system in India is.

We also need to cut university funding from unimportant fields like sociology etc and focus all the money we allocate to important fields, ie STEM. No more producing useless 40 year old film student uncles.
