Neither He nor anyone else in India will make such a charity. he is businessman and he knows where to peep in to get his expected outcome. University will start functioning and all upper class member will pass out without any knowledge and wipro will hire them immediately...

so do you think all the students will study there for free. NO WAY. So at the end of the year he will laughing all the way to the bank. The figure that he mentioned to start it is what he will spend on the infrastructure and then each student will have to pay their admission fee, form fee, and ever other fee that you can think off. "There is no free lunch anywhere"

The degrees being offered are in education, development and teacher education. I don't think Premji has a requirement for such qualifications in his companies. Instead, it could only help the country. So pls do appreciate someone trying to make an effort for the society

He pledged to donate $2 billion for improving school education in India. This would be done by transferring 213 million equity shares of Wipro Ltd, held by a few entities controlled by him.
Is there anyone lese in india made such a charity, check BBC news
He is the only businessman declared to spend each penny from his 20 billion $ for charity. He spared only few crores for his children
In December 2010, he pledged to donate $2 billion for improving school education in India. This would be done by transferring 213 million equity shares of Wipro Ltd, held by a few entities controlled by him
No one give good education.everybody makes money.Big bussinessman give education very costly.No body knows about good education. because in our country there is no system in everything.
Re: Non-profit organisation!!!???

Try to understand the meaning of Not-For-Profit. Wikipedia also belongs to this category. They still need cash for operation. Some depend on only donation. Some provide services mainly to raise funds. Even CRY employs people which is charity organization. How will they pay salary to employees? In short, the only difference is they are not driven by profit goals. But still they need account/balance book. Students pay fees, which in turn is paid as salary to teachers. Premji's donation will be used mainly to setup infrastructure.
This is good steps if Indian student can get good education then they will not go to Australia or US. This will prevent loss of money to foreign education. Regarding money is concerned they are many parent who can spend amount of 2 lack per semi star.

70% of students going abroad to earn money and settle down in abroad though education. They are ready to do any kind of job in abroad to settle theselves. so dont think that getting higher education is their main motto. This is easiest way to enter in abroad.

70% of students going to Australia to learn hair cutting and styling.
University.......why not schools at rural areas which is the actual requirements of India. In the name of philantrophy, actually they are catering their own requirements, this is a part of their HR policy.

Re: Better to focus on Primary Education
by keshav agrawal on Mar 10, 2011 01:07 PM
Please note India is facing crisis of quality teachers, which can be produced by only higher education institutes. If there are no teachers, who will provide the primary education? High dropout rates in class IX-X level is due to realisation by the students about their futile labour in studies so far. It is a crime to provide dreams, which will never materialise.
Re: Better to focus on Primary Education
by ravi krishnan on Mar 10, 2011 01:04 PM
...u missed the point here...Premji isnt offering an MBA or Btech from his universities...he's realised that what the country needs today is good teachers from the primary level and that is what his univ. is trying to achieve.
Its a fact that Indian's are top in buisness but they never wants to do for the nation ever, we never saw any big buisness family had done any thng when india or indians need. they never give a donation for the Flood,Farmers,Haukers,Slums.. but they give donation for Marathon, Fils Award, Functions, Cricket event, haa haa haa Ths is the Real situation for the India, Now Premji start a University like AMbani. wht is the use for those who are not able to pay high fee but they have brain . so they should start for the common people those who poor but havng ability to do so... but i read so many papers and magazines from US, UK or othetcountries even Pakistan also their buisness families is doing for poor man or the country...

From where you got it? Fee structure is still to be finalised. Stop the vendetta. Better start contributing positively to the society.

by niranjani shety on Mar 10, 2011 12:53 PM
average parents pay this kind of fee to all very substandard universities all over India. I doubt is not affordable fee structure for indian middle class, if their wards are given quality education
