Corruption in State Education
Education Department is considered a money-spinning portfolio by political parties and Ministers and once captured, they make mockery of the entire education system, such as:
1. Appointments, transfers, promotions of every teacher in Govt.schools depends on the quantum of bribe given to the concerned Minister and his chamchas.
2. Printing of text books, exam. papers, etc. involve big scam. Books are never supplied on time in good quality. Every stage of its transaction - placing orders and distribution involve corrupt practices and bribe from Minister to Peon.
3. Aided-school mechanism is another money-spinning tool for the Minister and caucus who mint money through every permission/funds granted for this.
4. Crores of lack-money roll out to the Dept. and the Minister in connection with allotment of Engineering/Medical and other specialized Colleges/Universities.
5. A big portion of unauthorized donations collected from Engineering/Medical students by the respective collages goes to the pocket of the Minister and his Department cronies.
6. In the name of support to minority and backward communities, the Minister and his Secretarial staff run a parallel organization in Govt. to loot money from all available sources and there is also high religious bias in such dealings.
7. NoC and permission to private educational institution is a big racket involving bribe at every stage the concerned files move and there are lobbies working for the Minister to grab money through this source.
These are only few examples and there are many other areas like this where public money is lavishly utilized in Education Department to breed corruption. One single solution seems to be to shift the subject of education to Central List from State, atleast from 11th standard (Higher education). Of course, there also proper checks, balances, control and accountability has to be built. more

How can this be checked and made transparent? There should be a central education Department which decides all the books and it should have branches in all states . This department should have no political connection. All teachers hiring process should be transparent. more

All the facts are true and every citizen is aware of the corrupt activities in the Education sector. But neither any of the state govts nor central govt is interested in punishing the corrupt ones. All the ruling parties and bureaucrats sees this as an opportunity to mint money. more

Writing this after long, long struggle with our government systems. Almost all officials and system are completely, nauseatingly corrupt beyond repair. Every honest and talented citizens are completely left to the mercy of these corrupt officials, politicians, pathetically unethical legal personnel and so called law and order protection departments. Stop searching for any ethical and honest person here, except few souls every other being is filthy corrupt, better to die than live in this country filled with pathetic corrupt system! more
