Privatising a public good

Kesar, Surbhi; Dutt, Devika; Dasgupta, Zico

Abstract

The argument that India cannot afford low fees at institutions of higher education does not square with the massive giveaways to corporates. The commodification of higher education, the real motive of those calling for fee hikes, will destroy all hope of education as a public good.
