BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

As reported in DNA [Sept. 04, 2012], here are the findings of a study conducted by,

• Centre for International Higher Education ( Boston )
• The Higher School of Economics  ( Moscow )

on

• Salaries earned by teachers at Asst Professor level

• In Government and Aided Educational Institutions

• On Purchase Price Parity ( PPP ) basis

• In following countries :

• India………………………………………………….. $  3,954

• China…………………………………………………..$     259

• Russia………………………………………………… $     433

• Brazil……………………………………………………$   1,859

• USA……………………………………………………..$   4,950

• Canada………………………………………………. $   5,733

So , Coal-gate not withstanding , India does seem to be shining , at least on Government owned / assisted College-gates !

And since 90 % of “ Private / Non-Aided “ colleges are “ allotted “ to politicians , I wonder how do these figures compare in these “ College-Blocks “ , which continue to collect from each admitted student , millions of rupees by way of “ Donations / Capitation Fees “

Who is worried about cancellation of allotment of “Coal-blocks “ !
