Please include provisions to inculcate values in the children through education policy. Take inputs from organisations such as Sri sathya sai vidyavahini, Ramakrishna mission and Aurobindo to include values such as compassion, integrity and honesty to be imparted in children in effective manner. As we see the world today, the education is leading nowhere without the values. Education without character is not only useless but positively dangerous.

The draft policy focuses towards exclusion of based on their merit at the school level which very dangerous for the society and to the country as a whole. Policy says English is the mode of learning beyond fifth standard. This will block learning of our regional language literature.

Current reservation is based on caste system. This is ruining the country. This creates a caste feeling among the citizens to a greater degree. India should be caste free in next 20 years. That should be dream of the government. Caste based reservation makes people to feel that it is there birth right. Many of them enjoy this for more than three room generations. Caste based reservation should be restricted up to two generations so that reservation is reaching others also.

Dear Mr. Javdekar, The suggestions provided by me in previous comments are not ground breaking revelations and has been present in public domain for years, some of them for decades, with strong consensus across the stakeholders. However, what we need is the political will to implement these to truly unleash our ONLY leverage of HUMAN RESOURCES in the world. If we get our education right, we can enter into multi-decade growth on back of a skilled, employable, rich & adaptive workforce. HOPE!
