If the Prime Minister wants things to change, if he is serious about what he calls inclusive growth, then he must become personally involved in finding out what has gone wrong with schemes like the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. Not only does he have the mandate to make any change he wants, he even has the support of Rahul Gandhi who recently pointed out that there were severe leakages in government programmes for the poor. And, with the Left in the doldrums, there will be no silly protests about private money being used to tarnish the ‘family silver’. All we need are real schools in the villages and proper midday meal schemes and India could be a totally different country by the next general election. It can and must be done.
