Improvement of Education in Bihar - Mirage or Truth

There was lot of hue and cry over development of Bihar in a recent BJP conclave at Patna. However, there was not a single honest leader who felt ashamed about the problem of electricity, crime, lack of educational institutions as a matter of concern. As far as development is concerned only die hard suporters of BJP and Janta Dal U would make such claims. Otherwise people in the state of Bihar are as insecure as they were earlier. Almost all the universities in the state get the media limelight for wrong reasons. Sometime there is sacking of VC or somtimes students go berserk when they are not allowed to cheat in the exams.
But the problem is the leaders in power are hobnobbing with media in projecting positive image. The universities are going down to hell but the ministers are shamelessly attending the felicitation functions of coaching institutes. Candidates who have completed there B Tech or Engineering Degree from IIT rarely get the kind of limelight which is enjoyed by the students who somehow manage to enter the prestigious Indian Institute of Tehnologies, courtsey reservation system and rote learning under the tutelage of alleged Math wizards.
I am really sorry to say but the fact is if there are real wizards of Mathematics in Bihar then why don't they work in the field of Rocket Science instead of teaching 10+2 students. The fact is these coaching institute directors have become wizards just because of conspiracy of print media. The media in Bihar is friendly towards Government and they rarely scrutinize the behavior of the ministers and local administrative officers who are turning the city of Patna into hub of coaching institutes run by greedy entrepreneurs with little ethics.
