India's Negligence towards Education: 1.67 Mn Children out of School

The study conducted by UNESCO also brought out the fact that India receives close to 10 percent of the aid to basic education in the world, which is the largest share compared to any other country.

The government of India has come up with a new dimensional strategy to cater to the rural or Grameen children with the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan. This is a programme by the Government of India with the aim of  making elementary education universal "in a time bound manner", as mandated by the 86th amendment to the Constitution of India making free education to children aged 6–14 a fundamental right. This programme was led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee. There has been improvements made in the field of education by India but there is still a wide road ahead in becoming an economic power with the best educational reforms.
