India Today magazine conducted its annual survey to select best colleges in India. Unfortunately very few Hyderabad colleges find place in the “best colleges rankings” when compared to states like Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Delhi. Only single college (Nalsar College in Law) from Andhra Pradesh finds place in the top 10 list. This survey reflects the poor educational standards that are prevailing in our Andhra educational institutions. We need quality but not quantity. Most of the global achievers from Andhra Pradesh are those who are studied in IITs and IIMs. It is unfortunate to see that educational centres like Vijayawada, Guntur and Nellore have no college in the best colleges list in any department.

Maoists once again failed to kill a former chief minister within a span of 3 years. In 2004, Nara Chandrababu Naidu escaped from Maoists landmine attack at Alipiri. We should all condemn this evil act. But we should also think in other angle to understand the real problem. As long as our politicians think Maoist problem is a law& order one, it is difficult to control this crisis. Widening economical gap, rising corruption and lack of honest leaders making our democracy is a big illusion to poor people. So they are showing their anger by helping anti-social elements like Maoists. Courtesy: Eenadu. Please share your opinion: 1.
