The Education Commission in 1966 had recommended that at least 6% of GDP should be spent on education in India. However, even after 50 years of such a recommendation, the government continues to spend 3-4% of GDP on education. How has this affected the education sector in India? What value stands violated by the Central Government?

Government's unwillingness to spend 6% of GDP on education has affected this sector adversely, as is enumerated with the help of given statistics:
(i) In India, about 30.3 crore people are still illiterate.
(ii) The female literacy rate is 65.46%, which is quite low as compared to the male literacy rate of 82.14 percent.
(iii) There is a disparity in education levels of urban and rural areas.
The value which stands violated by the Central Government is complete neglect of education as crucial to the development of an economy and the well being of people.
