Hi Friends,

ATTRACTING “BLACK- MONEY” FOR EDUCATION

FROM  THE REPORT

" CHALLENGE OF EDUCATION "

NOV. 1985
ATTRACTING “BLACK- MONEY” FOR EDUCATION
PRESENT SITUATION :


Present outlay on education is Rs. 3200 Crores. With 1% per annum growth-rate (in population & enrolment ) the expected outlay by 1990-91 is expected outlay by 1990-91 is expected to be double i.e. Rs. 6,400 Crores. But with the desired growth in education this figure is bound to be around Rs. 30,000 Crores.
Black-money in India is estimated varying between Rs. 37,000 to Rs. 72,000 Crores.
CHANGE/ ACTION DESIRED :


To mobilize the need of about Rs. 30,000 Crores for education we must exert pressure to channelize the cast reservoir of Black-money.

This can be accomplished by allowing people/ trust to invest in Educational Institutions. For such investments/ donations no questions should be asked with regard to source of income. Further, such investments must be allowed a return of 5% for 10 tears (exempted from tax) and thereof after 10 % return with maximum tax- liability pegged at 50% of the profits made.

ADVANTAGES EXPECTED :


-      The resources gap with be bridged
-      The “black-money” will get invested in constructive, nation- building, human-resource development oriented activity – a very noble purpose.
ACTION BY :


GOI – Ministry of Finance &
         Ministry of Education
