Honestly. For a person who so highly values education, to have the highest institutions of one's own land go downhill so spectacularly is difficult to explain! This is what happened under his beat: 1. More and More IIMs and IITs were created, thus diluting the brand and the standards! 2. Reservations were pushed on the elitist of institutions! and now the worst of all - IITs do not have enough money to pay the salaries of their teachers! In fact IIT-Bombay will not be able to pay its salaries NEXT MONTH!! Ask yourself, what is the incentive and motivation for these professors to keep teaching in these institutions? The guys who teach courses to GET INTO IITs in Kota make Rs 5 million to Rs 10 million a year.. just preparing students! Why would these teachers teach at fraction of those salaries? Doesn't it sound ludicrous?"}
