Abstract: Among the most of the South –East Asian countries, India as the biggest democratic nation, known for “Unity in Diversity” in the world, growing rapidly toward the optimal development in all dimensions including education. But the real fact is the extreme heterogeneity in the population and the performance of policies of political agendas. Both public and private actors in partnership with the politics, different projects specially for a sustainable, inclusive and equality in education are being launched with many huge investment. But only 2% per year increase in drop-out rates are found. DPEP,SSA,Ekalavya and Anaganwadi
etc. are few visible example of such initiative aiming to 100% literacy, eradication of poverty. Suicidal cases of farmers, students, gender and religious fanatical crimes are increasing when corporate India is shining globally. There is no change in many border states in the last twenty years. Rapidly expanding armed naxalism, infiltration and band organization are absorbing unemployed and restless youths, drop out and failure students in certain exams particularly at their lovely teenage. Mushrooming of private sectors rises with many positive hopes enhancing the freedom of democratic livelihoods but it is also leading to green-miles draining with child labors and exploitation of innocent educated youths. Correlation and coordination between center and states, Government, public and private etc are with full of allosteric enzymes like corruptions with many mimic outcomes. New Politics and New Technological Revolution could bring the new mirror but the gap of missing link between the actual development and value added development has also increased un measurably. The Government funding of many projects follows the law of food-chain of ecosystem at the rate of 10% ending with 0% outcome. Political concerns with accountability, efficiency, financing and the maintenance of relevance in Educational Training find little that is comparable with experiments in the developed countries. The paper concludes with ten propositions regarding future attempts to improve the bonds between Politics, Policies and Corporate development through Education and Vocational Training in India at national and international perspectives.
