| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Now a day it has become a fashion to ride on the bandwagon of neo-liberal line as we get to hear talks in which some neophytes project a kind of weltanschauung that ‘it’s time for us to get our business correct and the benefits would be as much ours as it would be for global corporate capital’. So it’s wisdom to put on corporate identity and India should configure her policies not only domestically but also need to reposition internationally. But if one deeply perceives, the lacuna in this logic would be amply clear. It’s because we cannot just get on simply with business hype when the quality of education and the resultant human resource in India are not simultaneously at par with the surging ambition. India spends very less for R&D. So, the next level of reforms cannot be neo-liberal, rather it ought to promote quality education for building quality man power, for neoliberalism only exposes us to compete but it does not enables to compete well. With this reference point what is being sought to suggest is a crucial need to shift our thinking towards addressing educational and skill exchange programme in our current foreign policy lexicon. |
