This universal truth is all the more visible in our country, which in spite of all the resources still appears amongst the list of the developing nations. Unfortu- nately, in spite of the sound vision of the stalwarts who drafted our constitution and gave the education sector the due importance, even after more than five decades, the country is largely illiterate and is lagging far behind. Enough attention has not been given so far to the education sector. Every government since independence has viewed spending on education as expenditure rather than as sound investment for future. After achieving independence, the first step should have been to transform the teeming millions, largely illiterate, into educated lot as it would have strengthened the nation. In spite of clearly laid down fundamental right for education in the constitution, various governments both central and states failed miserably in providing education to most of the children on account of poor vision and lack of will. Incidentally the private sector could realise the enormous commercial opportunity in this vital field, which the governments NERUL: As part of hatma Gandhi, Wildlife an and Wildlife Aware- failed to comprehend.
