When teams had discussed about these problems to people, they had directly blamed on state government. They said that state government is responsible for the poor structure of education as state government is not focusing over it.
People believe that 80% state government responsible for poor structure of poor education while 20% former Central Government (UPA and other) are responsible for it.
If the base of student is not strong and clear then he can’t contribute from his side in the development of nation. It will also increase unemployed youth in country as they will have mark sheets but due to weaker base they will not able to stand in competitive era and can’t be able to face challenge.
The newly formed government of PM Narendra Modi-led NDA must have to take concern over the educational structure and revive it as soon as possible for the better, healthy, educated and skilled future of Nation. Notify that PM Modi in his addressing on 15 August promised that he will install toilets in each school of India for better sanitation and convenience of students. People of India also had so many expectations with new government and PM Modi and they believe that Modi will work for the fulfillment of their expectation and work on ground level.
