Badlapur assault lays bare the clout of Maharashtra’s education barons
Hindustan TimesMUMBAI: On August 14, two kindergarten students of a Badlapur school were sexually assaulted by a janitor employed by the school. The incident has brought the spotlight back on politicians who run educational institutions in Maharashtra—indeed, there has not been a single cabinet in the past two decades which did not have ‘education barons’ in it. “The management has promised us that in the coming years, they will be given in instalments.” The education barons Education barons started emerging in the sector the late 1980s. Maharashtra has many well-known private education institutes, among them the D Y Patil Group of Institutions led by former Tripura governor D Y Patil; the Bharati Vidyapeeth founded by the late Patangrao Kadam; the MGM Group of Institutions founded by former higher and technical education minister Kamal Kishor Kadam; the Terna Group of Institutions led by former minister Padmasinh Patil; the VSPM AHE Group of Institutions led by former minister Ranjeet Deshmukh; the Mumbai Educational Trust led by food and civil supplies minister Chhagan Bhujbal; and the Meghe Group of Institutions led by former MP Datta Meghe. Dr Bhalchandra Mungekar, former chairman of the University Grants Commission and former vice-chancellor of Mumbai University said that the commercialisation of education was the root cause of an incident like the Badlapur one.
