Over the last decade, Indian educational scenario is witnessing a tremendous change, with respect to the quantitative growth of educational institutions.Simultaneously there is an ongoing paper war over the flaws in the present education system,an outcry insisting on the need to make changes in the present education structure for the over all development of a child.A serial of articles criticizing the rote learning continues to occupy the space in journals and newspapers..That means, our system has reached such a state.,.where change has become inevitable..To be precise,the only solution is to revamp the entire education system.The write ups and debates urges for a renewed pattern or rebuilding of the system.Nonetheless,before chalking out the steps for a restructuring,there arises so many questions(not subjective) for which unequivocal answers has to be found.Even though all the debates and exposition are free from ambiguity,most of them jog on to draw generalized approach for this regeneration.Alas,the basic issues are left unnoticed.It would be more fruitful if the discussions addresses the following need.
Objective of education and its need?
Does academics alone is suffice to achieve the objectives?or a combination of academics and non academics?
Does the present disciplinal structure ensures the accomplishment of objectives?
What can be done towards bringing about change?
From where the change should begin?
How it can be brought in?
Who all should act as a bridge in bringing a positive change in the development of a child?
Role of the teachers in moulding the child
Lead role to be taken by the institution towards change
Curriculum
All the above factors have a lasting influence in the growth of a child.Thusly,each and every element has to be analysed carefully,inorder to promote a healthy educational system in our country.

very probing thought..
there are few of my suggestion to add:
The Indian 86th Constitutional Amendment Act says Right to Elementary Education a fundamental right and fundamental duty.
Ministry of Human Resource Development controls Indian educational system.
We have a educational research institute named NCERT.
We have different educational boards mainly ICSE, CBSE, State Boards, International curriculum(so called International schools), …
The syllabus differs in all..
the most favorite subject for the state board is to mutilate the history book
The same history lesson differs from Gujarat to Uttar pradesh.
On my opinion :
The kindergarten system must be stopped or made more enjoyable.(without exams)
The basic education must be uniform as per the NCERT recommendation, and Min of HRD must use its power to change in one sweep.
The higher education system must have more of outdoor activities, projects, technical talent hunt, and must be made uniform in phase manner.
Teachers must be selected by a national level board, and must be posted any ware in India. (the syllabi of their training is not uniform so, take any fresher graduate and train them on job).
Stop language, minority priority in educational system.
Bring back traditional educational values of pre-mughal era.
I must appreciate that, there is a welcoming change in very few states in grading in higher secondary system replacing the mark based system.
(I dare to comment about the graduation/ post –graduation / professional institutions/universities.. it’s a big messy world.. big business .. beyond government to regulate..)
