Should the Indian government increase the education budget?

As you may know, India's literacy is severely ragging at a rate of only around 50%, which is relatively low and in a sense, humiliating, considering there are countries like China, with even more population, and there literacy rate is 90% - and that is a startling fact considering the difficulty of the Chinese language, and the fact that it has no aphabet system. I researched the reasn why China has so high literacy rates, that it has today, and the reason was because it invested large amounts since it's early inception as a communist state. Therefore, should the government be more concerned with this stastic and increase the existing amount of the budget on education. As you may as well know, education is the most important route to ending poverty in India: - it can increase and diversify the pool of skilled labour, and therefore increase employment among poor and rduce poverty, as the salaries are higher - it can foster intercultural and religious harmony and destroy ignorance - It can reduce the unsustainable increase in population - It can prevent the children from turning to corruption when they are older - It can eradicate ancient-values such as caste and dowry, which hinder the overall progress and development of the nation - It can increase awareness of the environment among the youth, so when they are older, they can implement more environmentally friendly practises And much much more... Considering all these developments, which will only serve to pull India closer to the first world, and eradicate the very roots of poverty once and for all, logically shouldn't the Indian government spend one of the largest portions of their budgets on this.

  1. In India they charge education cess from each person. Even an uneducated labour pays this cess. The cost of PHD is more and if a poor person visits libray he has to pay a fee for parking his two wheeler. The Government spends money for orphons care but doen't inform what they are doing after they start a family. More students gets free education and studing with Scholorship but they did't work for the nation and no one cares
