    Emerging changes in Indian

    Education system
    INTRODUCTION
    It was believed that premier education is not available in India, but the current
    development in the educational sector has led to the belief that quality
    education is indeed available in India.
    Acting upon the loopholes in the education system, amendments were made
    regarding the syllabus, introduction of new courses and dynamic
    methodologies.
    This unbelievable progress in the educational scenario also includes low costs
    of tuitions as compared to the western countries.
    Education in India is matter of prime concern for the government of India. The
    University Grants Commission (UGC) coordinates, determines and maintains
    the standards of education at various levels.
    Indian Education has recently gained world recognition. Many students from
    foreign countries are eyeing the country for gaining higher qualifications.
    Though, illiteracy is a problem in India, the country amazes outsiders with its
    vast pool of talent.
    Some important facts about
    Indian education:

    'charaka' is known as the father of Ayurveda. He developed this system
    some 2500 years back.
    Takshila was the first university of world established in 700 B.C.
    Nalanda University, built in 4 AD, was considered to be the honor of
    ancient Indian system of education as it was one of the best Universities of
    its time in the subcontinent.

    languages of world.
    Place value system was developed in India in 100 B.C.

    The national institutions of international fame are the IIT's and the
    IIM's.
    The Indian School of Business (ISB) in Hyderabad holds a global rank
    of 15 in the field of management education.
    Efforts of upgrading the standards of Indian Education are not
    meeting with success, due to hurdles in accessibility, poverty and
    other factors. Due to widespread poverty the government of India
    is not able to achieve higher success in the implemented projects.
    The 11th 5- year plan alleviates the importance of development in
    the education sector and primary education as well as higher
    education is given equal importance in this plan.
