Education States - Other States Resistance in Govt to new ideas, says Pitroda Our Bureau New Delhi, Jan. 20 The National Knowledge Commission (NKC) has said that there is resistance in the Government to new ideas in the education field. “There is still resistance at various levels in the Government to new ideas, experimentation, process re-engineering, external interventions, transparency and accountability due to rigid organisational structures with territorial mindsets,” the NKC Chairman, Mr Sam Pitroda, said here. He added that there was a need to create various collaborative models, dispelling mutual suspicions. “Public-private-partnerships, academia-industry partnerships, academia-research laboratories and others would need to be the models rather than working in separate compartments,” Mr Pitroda said after submitting the second annual, ‘Report to the Nation’, to the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh. He also said that the country was too large, too complex and too diverse for ‘one size fits all’ solutions and that decentralisation and community participation at the local level would be a key to devising effective programmes for implementation. Recommending an Independent Regulatory Authority for Higher Education, at an arm’s length from all stakeholders, the Commission said that a plethora of regulations without adequate autonomy or accountability for institutions has resulted in a system that is over-regulated and under-governed.
