JAMMU: Governor Satya Pal Malik on Saturday expressed displeasure over the quality of education in the country and said “it is because successive Central Governments had failed to provide adequate budget to the sector”.
He also criticized the affluent class for not doing enough charity and said “if I get the power, I will impose cess on these people to improve education system”.
“The affluent class are not doing charity. Our ‘Seth’ (rich) can spend Rs 1,000 crore on the engagement and marriage of his daughter but cannot give Rs 500 crore to any university. If I get the power in my hand, I will force a cess on such people so that we can improve the standard of our education,” Malik said, addressing the second convocation of Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Jammu.
