Here is the bottom line. A public University should naturally be less expensive than a private University since the former is supported by the taxpayers. However, even in a public University, students must pay a fair market rate for the education they get. If education is free (or almost free), the system degenerates to what we have today – it breeds a class of freeloaders who hang around Universities for decades creating trouble on campus and using their trouble making abilities to pursue political aspirations outside the Universities. Those who cannot afford to pay should have access to scholarships and loans, but there must be premium on higher education so that everybody takes it seriously. We need to make the Marxists in the humanities and social studies departments on University campuses compete for attracting students to their departments in a competitive market place – instead of having them regurgitate the stale western ideas that have little relevance to the Indian society. When we are paying for these public Universities, we need to ask tough questions on whether adding anything to the nation and nation building.
