It may appear that the classic debate of two points of view, Macaulay and Elphinstone is long dead. In fact it constantly reappears. The answer that we should accept the best of west and India does not satisfy any deep thinking and reflective Indian. There are many fundamental counters. - Science is not necessarily the gift of west - India cannot go back to Sanskrit tols and live in a fool’s paradise - Education is today global international and national characteristics no longer determine contours of education. - East shall remain east, west shall remain west both shall never meet. One may add to the counters yet counters also counter each other. The coming of BJP, a right wing party, to power with it’s own majority at the centre has again fueled the debate. The Radhakrishnan, Kothari, Mudaliar, NEP 1986, Birla-Ambani and host of other commission and committee reports need re-examination, feels the new government . As a whole the neo-nationalists, rightists and the corporate houses feel India has moved to the left in Education and this needs to be corrected. Against this background, in this short editorial let us examine few issues. - In the past we have emphasized numbers, more specifically Gross Enrolment Ratio at all stages. We have compared ourselves with developed countries and finding us at a very low position we have emphasized number. We have no quarrel with number yet numbers with total disregard for quality has landed us in this mess. Quality should be our focus. - Quality require a twofold focus . The quality of manpower, more specifically teachers and educational administrators needs a great improvement. The existing teachers need to be forced to improve their quality. In India it is the blind who are leading the blind. Reward and From The Editor’s Desk... punishment need to be judiciously used to improve the situation. Educational Administrator lack domain knowledge and leadership quality at all level. Their main job is to act as facilitator, they behave like inspector yet are so much burdened with administrative work they seldom inspect. The second most important requirement is quality of the infrastructure. Just to give one example of many, one may cite construction of lakhs closets in school without septic tank, is sufficient. Basic requirement demand heavy investment in Education which is not coming through. iii - Technology , more specifically ICT, is touted as panacea for all our ills. ICT is indeed the most powerful tool in our kit, yet let us remember men not machine/ technology is more important. ICT in regional languages not English is only helpful. The mobile phones not PC, Laptop, Tab or any other instrument, is the only technology which has been democratized. We have to emphasize on regional language and mobile phones for educating India. Tab have to made as competitive as mobile, say being made available for a thousand rupees only to facilitate universal reach and overcoming the limitation of screen size. We must not stop at regional language we have to cover even tribal language. Presently roman script is widely used to communicate in regional language through mobile and computer. This is possibly the short cut which we need . Of course there is the fear of bogey of regional chauvinists who all use English. Choice of cost effective technology and democratization of the same is the key. - Skills, the 4 ‘Cs’ – Communication, Critical Thinking, Collaboration and Creativity are emphasized. All these need to be developed right through school education. Our love for centralization – CBSE or BSE at several stages have prescribed text books, defeating free thinking and our entire examination is driven by rote methods. These cannot be achieved at higher level without foundation of schools. We have to look into our attitudes and change them. Skills of school, secondary and higher secondary, poly-techniques, Colleges and professional colleges need to be identified. Everyone needs skills. Even student of modern history should be able to make sense out of a demographic table. An English major student should be able to copy edit, translate or say at least write. Like English and history major need appropriate skills related to their subjects, everyone need skill. - Education must bake bread. Unless it bakes bread it cannot liberate people from ignorance, servile attitude, close thinking and a host of other limitation. Education policy has to go hand in hand with economic policies. Unless the economy grows, education cannot. Of course education also prompt economy to an extent. It is best to link education with economy. We welcome the debate on NEP-2015 and hope for better days. Education is indeed the only panacea for our ills and can be lone harbinger of good days. We have a simple solution let students learn and teachers teach and let us have the material condition for this teaching-learning to happen. If this happens and everything will fall into its place.

The terms Corporate crime and ‘Economic Crime’ are more often than not, used as synonyms in fact, both the terms need to be used to define different categories of crime. Corporate Crimes not only victimize individuals with pecuniary loss but can also have serious repercussions on the national economy. Corporate Crimes, such as financial scams, fraud, money laundering, etc. are crimes which evoke serious concern and impact on the Nation’s security and governance. This paper seeks to present a perspective on the trend of Corporate crimes and legislative measures to deal with such crimes in India. The paper is divided into two sections. The first section gives different dimension of corporate crimes and the second section deals with relevant legislation to prevent Corporate Crimes.
