This refers to the editorial "Teaching India" ( Business
Line, April 16). My comments are as follows: The
Government's primary duty of providing educational
facilities to the poor cannot be simply transferred to
private schools, taking advantage of the Supreme
Court verdict. The Right to Education Act shouldn't be
misused by politicians who have already mastered the
art of grabbing land for educational institutions.The
problem of huge number of poor students cannot be
ignored, but to expect the rich to come to the rescue of
the poor is expecting too much. The solution lies in
having a dialogue with private schools to guarantee
proper implementation of the SC verdict. Without social
reforms, (which include education for the
under­-privileged), mere political freedom won't be
sufficient to make progress as a society.Public sector
banks have reported a deposit growth of Rs 2­-lakh
crore, and a loan growth of Rs 93,000 crore in the last
week of March, 2012. The impressive total business
(deposits plus advances) growth of Rs 2.93 lakh can
be attributed to "window­-dressing". Bankers have been
resorting to dressing up their books in the last week of
every fiscal. There are customers willing to help their
bankers in building up total business growth (deposits
plus advances).The Reserve Bank of India is also
aware of this aspect. These deposits/loans vanish after
the first/second week of April. There is a small cost
(difference between lending rate and deposit rate)
involved to these customers, but this is made good by
offering concessions in services rendered during the
year.Most of the public sector banks are listed entities,
and so shareholder activism can check this
phenomenon.
