THE GREAT INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM

Indian Education Systems predominantly follows the system laid by the British. Although we
can boast of having the IITs, IIMs and some of the best law and medical colleges, India’s

therefore focus on churning out not just engineers, but also entrepreneurs, artists, scientists,
writers etc. all of whom are influential in the development of the economy.
