Description
Introduction
Education is a crucial asset of the citizens of every developed economy. India, though a traditional seat of higher learning, has lagged behind in providing the opportunity of education to its citizens. India ranks with some Sub-Saharan African countries as far as literacy rate is concerned. India’s quality of education does not get closer to the developed countries’ benchmarks. India has problems as far as its education sector is concerned. Till recently, education sector was closed for private ventures in India. The government seems to have come to terms with the reality. The importance of private initiatives in the field of education seems to have been realized by the Government of India, and today Indian education system is being transformed with the entry of educational entrepreneurs.
The importance of entrepreneurs for the economic development has been recognized since the 17th century. The 21st century entrepreneur is held high in status compared to the earlier centuries’ entrepreneurs. The theory of entrepreneurship has been evolving and developing over the centuries giving it the due prominence and importance it has earned today. Entrepreneurship in all sectors of the economy is essential for the overall growth and development of the economy.
