WELCOME TO DEVELOPMENT FOR COUNTRY

Religion and education - two of humankind’s most ancient endeavors, have had a close relationship for a long. Historians and social scientists have written about this relationship and how the two aspects of human civilisation influence each other.

INDIA-HAVING LAND FOR RELIGIONS BUT NOT FOR EDUCATION

According to the news, India is the 2nd largest country of the world in terms of population i.e. today's population of India is 138 crores+ in which almost 1 crore students passes 12th class but in India there are only 39931 colleges and academic institutions under 993 universities. Number of Stand Alone Institutions are: 10725. Number of private or deemed universities are: 298. Still these institutions are not sufficient to enroll all the students. But no social group is demanding this or doing anything. Contrary to this, we know that there is a long and consistent debate between Hindus and Muslims for their development of temples and musjids respectively in Ayodhya but no one is fighting for educational institutes and universities.

As we all know that around 30 lakhs students appear for JEE (mains and advance) and for NEET but out of them around 1,50,000 students get admissions for government colleges i.e. around 3% of the appearing students only.Out of 97% of the remaining students around 15 to 20% get their admissions in private colleges. Almost 80% students who are poor that cannot afford private colleges fee so that they do not get admission and most of them do not get skills for work and do not get career opportunities and most of the politicians don't want to get controversy on this major topic and hence waste their time and make public fool by bringing forth irrelevant topics and issues in the name of religions. Thus religion has a major impact on education in India.

This chapter presents a broad overview of scholarly research into the ways religion can affect educational achievement. It is not an exhaustive survey of the academic literature, but instead a brief summary of some explanations proposed to account for attainment differences among religious groups. Religion is certainly not the only reason for this variance; many other factors may play an equal or greater role, including economic, geographic, cultural factors and political conditions within a country or region. The most striking question is still unanswered.

Q 1) WHAT INDIA NEEDS FOR DEVELOPMENT - EDUCATION OR TEMPLES & MUSJIDS ?

Q 2) IS RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY IMPACTING EDUCATION IN A BAD WAY OR GOOD WAY?
