To cruise into the league of superpowers, it is not sufficient for India to just have the staggering population.

If India wants to be the economic superpower, a policy of non-interference from the government is required. The corporate world and the civil society will have to come forward to set up the necessary infrastructure. With greater penetration of the telecom sector (including internet) in the hinterland, web-based learning would become possible. The best of the teachers would be able to deliver lectures across the country.

Online learning would be the next big step in educating the country and similar to what ITC has done with e-Choupal, there will be corporates and individuals who can raise money to put up kiosks (with computer and net facilities) even in remote villages and towns and the learning process for the student can be streamlined.

You would need less teachers and just one good administrator is enough to take care of one village/town. That would reduce the dependency on trained teachers at the village level and would allow imparting quality education to millions of youth in this country. The government needs to step aside and let the market forces take over. India is poised to scale greater heights. Whether or not it does, will squarely depend on the free-hand given to the edupreneurs. The potential of this country can only be realised with education opportunities to the 600 million youth.
