Cornel, I am not an educationist or any sort of authority on these matters. What I reproduced is the opinion and concern of top industry and educationists in India; as reported in the Australian press. 'The Age' in Melbourne is a leading newspaper as is Times of India to Bombay.
I agree with you that there are many excellent 'products' as you call them; but they are few and far between; and they are mainly the effect of their own intelligence and background; and not the cause and effect of a viable educational system. I can only venture to suggest that the report is true in content and meaning; as there are ample examples of non accomplished and do-nothing 'civil sevants', 'civil engineers' and 'electrical engineers' etc. who are the cause of many a failures in Government and local Govt. endeavours.
