With the Indian economy aligning itself with the world, the need for qualified Managers to take the country to the next level of growth and development was bound to be felt. Over the past few years, there has been a manifold rise in the number of educational groups offering Management education which they claim is the answer to India's stated need. However, of late. Management education in India is coming under the scanner for the quality of knowledge that it has served to dispense and questions have been raised about the mass production of Management graduates in a conveyor belt as it were. And whether the proliferation of Institutes preferring quickfix solutions to India's need are doing a service or otherwise is being debated at various fora. While the Government of India under the leadership of the current Minister for Human Resource Development has initiated many measures to take India out of the morass of a stagnant and in many cases, retroactive system, the debate can only help us in understanding how well we in India are able to cater to growing and changing needs of the economy; and possibly come up with answers too. This issue features two opinions on the educational system, not necessarily related, but certainly not irrelevant in the present context.
