chennai: The National Knowledge Commission on Thursday accused the human resource ministry of “sitting” on its various recommendations relating to improvement in quality of education in several universities across the country.
“The HRD ministry is sitting on the projects,” Commission chairman Sam Pitroda said when asked about the status of the NKC's recommendations which has advocated setting up of about 1,500 universities in the country to increase the “gross enrolment ratio”.
Asked where actually the problems lie in implementing these proposals, he said, “one is bureaucratical and the other thing is people don't want change. When the country is thinking of a generational change, some people are against it.”
“We need change in the way we teach, we learn and change in every other way,” he told reporters here.
Asked whether he was happy as the Chairman of NKC, he said, “I am not happy. When you are happy, everything is done. But, I am not unhappy. There is difference, it will take time.We are talking about rebuilding a nation. So, it will taketime.”
