Many a time, while speaking in Parliament as an MP, I have asserted categorically that India is respected across the world because of its good foundation in higher education. Today, India has been elevated from a “snake-charming” country to a software giant, only because of its education system. Every Indian takes pride in Google’s Sundar Pichai, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, PepsiCo’s Indra Nooyi, Albertsons’ Vivek Sankaran, Micron Technology’s Sanjay Mehrotra, Master- Card’s Ajay Singh Banga and Adobe’s Shantanu Narayanan. They are all products of quality public higher education in English medium. Services contribute to almost 53 per cent of the GDP, which again depends on the quality of services related to proficiency in English education.
