The government cannot afford to compartmentalize education. It has to be emphasized that any country which does not have a good university education will never be listed as an independent country and will never be able to progress. Only countries prepared to tolerate a second rate and subjugate status in the world would neglect higher education. If India has had any poison in the comity of nations in past, it was only because it had a better higher education than many of its Asian-counterparts. This clear emphasis on the higher education, however, does not imply that it should be supported and developed at the cost of primary and secondary education.
