ABSTRACT
The analysis in this paper pertains to mainly higher education, although it holds for education in general. While discussing a vision of education for India it is best to start by stating the current trend. People who are educated are always there in the labour market and look for a job. Students are induced to look into education in this very way not only when they come to higher education but right from the school stage. Education can be seen in two alternative ways. Education in which individual agents of society go to somewhere known as schools or universities and receive something known as education, and pay for it. If education is to serve a social purpose then it should fundamentally be socially financed and socially maintained. Education being funded by the state and by charitable organizations is essential, not only desirable. There should be a universal neighbourhood school system.
