THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (PROF. RITA VERMA)
(a) to (d): There is no proposal to privatise the
education system either by the Centre or State Governments.
However, Government propose to increasingly involve private
initiatives including non-governmental organisations /
voluntary agencies in educational development as provided
for in the National Policy on Education, 1986 (as modified
in 1992).
