 Whether leadership is endogenous to the system, that
is, every society gets leadership that it deserves.
 The view is that leadership can be exogenous, that is,
either able to convince or mobilize the society towards
higher or differential interests.
 The need is that there may be balance leader to lead
the social system towards transformation.

the
transformations which may not be a day’s/month’s

Standardisation of Education in India
Several Questions
Are we really educated?
Country is rich in tradition, crafts and arts.
The exploitation of rich values needs a
thorough overhauling of the system. Old
value systems in India has been modified.
At present it is facing transition. Young
generation tries to copy western culture.
However, they are not a dole drum
between Indian and western situations.
Standardisation of Education in India
Making education high utilitarian
This needs a high provoken and support
from society.
The capability of research in our country is
extremely high.
Financial support is
appreciable. Slight management standard
of educational system may improve
education as well as research for which
the Federal Government is serious and
sincere to achieve in given time.
