Introduction

Privatization has lately affected all the sectors of business while it has also
penetrated the education sector. It is a fact that Privatization of education is widening
educational opportunities and quality of education for students in different fields. It is
important to consider that education is a building brick for every nation, especially for
the developing countries. High quality education and a pool of opportunities will help
in increasing literacy rates while considerably reducing the amount of education
starved students.
While the government has been developing schools and educational institutes to
provide education to underprivileged students, disabled students and provide basic
education for all, the private institutes have raised the quality and scope of education
for different students. Due to privatization, there are now uncountable institutes
enough to accommodate the youth and children of India.
