What kind of Education is provided in Gujarat with just $8 per capita
expenditure?
Rs.1349 Crores for Education in Gujarat – Rs.10,000 crores for Tata Nano
http://financedepartment.gujarat.gov.in/budget08_09_pdf/part-a_eng.pdf
Against the provision of Rs.1070.12 crore for the year 2007-08, for
the education sector, Rs.1349 crore has been proposed for the next
year with an increase of 26%.
Gujarat allowed Rs.10,000 cr Cash incentives to Ratan Tata in 2008
Gujarat government spends just 0.5% of GDP on education compared to 4%
in China and 5.5% in USA. Private schools in Gujarat provide worst
imaginable teaching – teachers themselves are poorly educated mostly
12th Pass with some Lame Duck Training. Politics and Caste factors
further makes difficult to educate children in schools.
It makes little impact when a Scandalous Observation of PM Cadidate is
not immediately rebutted with similar aggression and no impact when it
comes in editorials of some newspaper that is not read by young
generation likely to decide outcome of coming Lok Sabha elections.

USA in spite of Economic Problems INVEST 5.5% of GDP on education,
that is roughly $2500 per capita.
But Gujarat invested Rs.2700 crores and this is Rs.435 per capita or
roughly $8 per capita 2012-13.
Kapil Sibal ought to have Pin Pointed –
Gujarat’s literacy Rate - 18th in the All India Ranking.
Gujarat is ranked 12th in performance in the primary level.
Gujarat is ranked 21st in performance at Upper Primary Level.

GUJARAT
Education = Rs. 3850 crore
Plan outlay has been enhanced from Rs. 2700 Crore in 2012-13 to Rs. 3850 crore
for the next year. It is planned to start The Chief Minister’s
Scholarship Fund to
support needy students, so that, they are not compelled to discontinue
studies in the
absence of financial support. It is proposed to bring in all the
existing scholarship
schemes under a single umbrella by creating the ” Chief Minister’s Scholarship
Fund”. Apart from supporting the students of economically and socially backward
classes, needy students of the neo-middle class will also be covered.
A corpus fund
of Rs.100 crore shall be created in “The Chief Minister’s Scholarship Fund”.
Provision has been made for providing text books free of cost to the students of
Government & grant in aid schools and belonging to Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled
Castes and Socially and Economically backward class removing the existing income
criteria limit.
Plan Health = Rs.3800 crores
A total provision of Rs.5512 crore has been made under Plan and Non-Plan for
public health, medical services and medical education. The Plan size increased
from Rs 3060 crore in 2012-13 to Rs 3800 crore in 2013-14.

Education Exp Gujarat Rs.3850cr vs Punjab Rs.8541cr (C)
– Irri Rs.12660 vs 791, Health Rs.3800 cr vs Rs.3443 cr
October06, 2013
When Gujarat performs poorly in Education, Health, Agriculture the
reasons for First
Two are poor Plan Allocation and for Agriculture is Corrupted
Irrigation in Gujarat.
Per student expenditure by Go Punjab is Rs.31286, But Go Gujarat just Rs.3181
only. (3850 cr/1.214568 cr)
What is most shocking though even as Annual Births in Gujarat are
around 1.5m but
enrollments in Primary Schools was up by just 0.231m or 15.3%, accounting for
Infant Deaths – 16% children are enrolled for primary education.
Gujarat in SER admits decline in students at Middle and Higher Secondary Levels.
Expenditure on Irrigation Projects in Gujarat is Rs.12660 crores this
close to all Plan
Expenditure in Punjab at Rs.16,123 crores but Punjab delivers more
Canal Waters to
farmers reliably to cost just Rs.791 crores than Gujarat most unreliably.
Gujarat Irrigation is Most Unreliable Corrupted in the world.
In healthcare also Punjab spends Twice More in Per Capita Terms. In this also
Gujarat has considerable share of supplementary nutrition.

Dealing in despair
Kapil Sibal
July 30, 2013
Great leaders, it is said, are dealers in hope. The leaders of the
National Democratic Alliance (NDA) are dealers in despair. While in
opposition, their leadership is constantly in despair about India. The
objective is essentially political: they hope to receive public
approbation in 2014.
In decrying the achievements of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA),
their leadership is given to gross exaggeration and sometimes,
falsehood. Narendra Modi, when addressing the students at Ferguson
College, Pune on July 14, 2013, sought to diminish the UPA’s efforts
in investing in education, citing the example of China’s universities
excelling in education. He explained China’s success by stating: “It
(China) spent almost 20 per cent of its GDP on education. Our
Government promised to spend 7 per cent but actually spent just 4 per
cent.”
China’s GDP is approximately $7.3 trillion (2011). Twenty per cent of
that would be $1.65 trillion. India’s GDP is $1.87 trillion (2011).
Mr. Modi would have us believe that China spends on education almost
as much as India’s GDP.
According to the Government Work Reports, 2013, delivered by the
outgoing Premier, Wen Jiabao, during the opening ceremony of the 12th
National People’s Congress on March 5, 2013, the Chinese government’s
expenditure on education was $1.25 trillion in the previous five
years. In other words, it was four per cent of its GDP (2012).
Sensationalism
Mr. Modi seeks to influence young minds. This is natural for an
aspirant to national leadership. But he must remember that in doing
so, he should not wantonly misstate and mislead. Two conclusions are
possible. One that he is trying to damage the UPA by wilful
falsehoods. Second, that in the flow of things, he made an unintended
exaggeration. This is not the first time that Mr. Modi’s histrionics
have let him down.
It is logical to assume that he made these statements wilfully with
intent to deceive. Had it not been so, he would have publicly
apologised by now, explaining how it happened. Mr. Modi has an
advantage. His falsehoods are seldom challenged by the media. It, as
much as Mr. Modi, loves sensationalism. In this process, he has a free
run. This encourages him to continue to wilfully mis state facts for
political advantage.
This is a very dangerous trend.
BJP’s record on education
For 10 long years, we have not heard Mr. Modi’s concern about higher
education. Not a single leader in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),
including the Gujarat Chief Minister, has, during this period, talked
about education reforms. He has not told us of the steps he has taken
within his State to reform the university system. On the contrary,
legislation pending in Parliament to reform the education system was
vociferously opposed by the BJP. Neither Mr. Modi nor any other leader
of the BJP has made any meaningful efforts to support the reform
process.
We can only conclude that Mr. Modi’s criticism of the UPA government,
in matters of education, is part of an agenda to oppose. A leader can
never receive national acceptability unless he has the vision to
construct, to provide attractive, practical alternatives. To attempt
this just before the Lok Sabha election is rank opportunism. Rajnath
Singh’s statement (July 20, 2013) castigating the use of the English
language makes us believe that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)
has a medieval mindset. Instead, we must embrace the world and make
our children compete in the future that lies ahead. Our children are
India’s future and not Mr. Modi, as he wishes us to believe.
The BJP leadership’s scant commitment to education is a matter of
record. Mr. Modi laments that instead of spending seven per cent of
GDP on education, the UPA has spent only four per cent. He should be
reminded that during the NDA’s time, the spend on education was 2.74
per cent of GDP. In the past nine years, it has increased under the
UPA to 4.2 per cent. In 2003-04, the NDA spent Rs.4,740 crore on
higher education; the UPA increased that to Rs.20,444 crore in
2012-13. In school education and literacy, the corresponding figures
are Rs.5,437 crore (2003-04) as against Rs.45,106 crore in 2012-13.
Since 2004, the number of higher education institutions increased
significantly. Central universities increased from 17 (2004) to 44
(2013). IITs increased from seven to 16, and IIMs from six to 13. The
UPA’s commitment to education has been consistent and much as Mr. Modi
wishes to criticise, his party’s commitment to education has been
abysmal.
In Gujarat
Within Gujarat, the story is no better. According to Census 2011 data,
while Gujarat’s literacy rate went up to 79.3 per cent in 2011, it is
still 18th in the All India Ranking. Other States, in fact, increased
their literacy rate much faster. In school education, Gujarat is
ranked 33rd, as far as access to schooling is concerned, 15th in
infrastructure and 12th in performance in the primary level.
Similarly, at the upper primary level, it is ranked 14th in access,
third in infrastructure and 21st in performance. Gujarat, overall,
stood at ninth place in the Education Development Index. Mr. Modi has
also claimed a zero dropout ratio in primary schools, but actually the
dropout ratio in Gujarat is 7.08 per cent as against all India figures
of 6.9 per cent. His commitment is even more dismal when it comes to
government spending.
The State spent 15.9 per cent on education out of its total
expenditure in 2010-11. It came down to 13.4 per cent, according to
the State Budget Estimates of 2012-13.
Even in terms of per capita State expenditure on education, Gujarat is
ranked 16th among 20 major States in India. The reality of Gujarat in
contrast to Mr. Modi’s hype is not to diminish its efforts, but to put
things in perspective. Mr. Modi’s Gujarat is no paradise. Nor can we
wish away some development that has taken place.
Mr. Modi must not deal in despair just because the UPA is in power. We
expect a political discourse that is constructive, a leadership that
is truthful and an environment where we can debate issues rather than
hurl allegations to obfuscate the truth. Playing with facts erodes
personal credibility and damages public discourse.
