Abstract
In the current globalized scenario, education has acquired a whole
new meaning. It has become the engine for economic
development which in turn is critical for development. Education
enables an individual to create, absorb and process the knowledge
which provides choices and opportunities to generate wealth
and reduce the twin burdens of poverty and diseases. If an educated
individual also has a greater voice in society, the nation in turn gets
a dynamic globally competitive workforce. // The recent debates and decisions under the World Trade
Organization are fast resulting in education being treated as a
global commodity for trade in services, enabling off shore
providers to enter education markets.
