Abstract:

To improve the education level, good amount of education infrastructure facilities are needed. At the same time, only increasing of infrastructure will not help in increasing of the overall of education status. Other factors also determine the development of the education status. Among the factors, service delivery is one of the important indicators. Along with this, socio-economic factors, like poverty, income, employment, health status, caste, gender and so on are also the determinant factors. India is spending less than 3 per cent of its GDP on education. A long back, Kothari Commission suggested for 6 per cent of the GDP towards education, which has not been achieved till date. Further, per student expenditure has to be fixed for different level of education.
