This article is detailed explanation of two probable reforms that might happen over higher education in India. Article starts with noting two committees formed by the government to come up with suitable solutions to make higher education possible to all sections of society and how this solution will benefit the youth of our country. The first comittee was headed by Yash Pal and the other by Sam Pitroda. Yash Pal's committees intention was to find out ways for 'rejuvenation and reformation for higher education in India' why Sam pitroda's purpose was to form and define 'National Knowledge Commission' Though both committees had a similar journey in the quest the outcomes were quite contrasting.
Yash pal's committee suggested that the reason why higher education should be formed is that its not helping the youth to improve their and make them employable. Where as Sam's board concluded that higher education should be accessible to everyone so we need to find out a way in encouraging the poor to take up higher studies. Both conclusion over lap at some juncture but are giving any convincing solution. Author then give us a rigorous explanation on how these two solutions if implemented would result in shaping the youth. Author some how feels that the silent war which has happened between these two committees would eventually effect the youth as the government is keen to come up with a practical reform which can improve the life of common youth but not to know which board gives a better solution in idea situations. Article then talks on how these two committees results will have a negative impact on under graduate education if implement.
All in all its fair to say that though government is doing a right thing in forming a board to improve the standards of higher education in India, forming more than one board will not make things easier. It is better to concentrate on one final goal instead of looking at more than one option.
