HSBC's Education Forum : Dr Madhav Chavan - Pratham

Dr. Chavan on India’s target of achieving UEE.

We are reaching the last stage (of UEE) and thus have problems of different nature. These last mile problems have to be dealt differently. There are certain districts or blocks that are neglected, the muslin minority population of Bihar, West Bengal, tribal areas of some states, Rajasthan because of its social backwardness.

The solution of these problems is not just opening schools. They can be solved in many other ways. Like the Bihar government has taken extremely positive steps to bring the Maha-dalits into mainstream education and development. These kinds of social developments has to be under taken

I don’t think universalisation is very far; it won’t take more than 3 to 5 years. And there is an international millennium goal deadline of 2015. So, India will reach it’s goal but serious efforts have to be made.
