You can refer to the different official reports or to the Economic and political weekly for reliable data. The Govt does spend a bit on education. The present Govt has increased the spending.
I also meant how much of it actually reaches the student/faculty. They can *claim* expenditure, but, how much is actually spent on "education". Is it spent properly so everyone *really* benefits from them? No.
How many EE departments have Digital Design Labs with FPGAs?
How many CS/IT departments have Embedded Labs?
I was not speaking about engineering education in particular. There it is that some places have all the facilities and others do not have anything at all.
The fact is that lot of research is done and often with very limited or no grants.
Please. Most private college management that I have seen ask their faculty to do PhDs so they can *claim* that they have x number of PhDs.
That is about privatization of education. Some others too do a phd for the sake of a degree. That happens too. All that happens in the western countries too.
This is going OT.
