Education and Development in India “A distinguished economist of education, Prof. Tilak had bestrode like a colossus the Indian educational policy research landscape for four decades. His prolific research output touches and illuminates almost every major policy issue. … This compilation is a selection of his vast oeuvre, and its merit lies in making available at a single place some of his seminal publications. It is also valuable for tracing the evolution of the policy thinking in the areas covered as well as of Prof. Tilak’s own thinking.” —R. V. Vaidyanatha Ayyar, Former Secretary to Government of India and Author of The Holy Grail: India’s Quest for Elementary Education (2016) and History of Education policymaking in India, 1947–2016. “Not only does this book illustrate the breadth of the subject but also the breadth of the author. These important articles range across issues of poverty, equity, efficiency, household economy, economic growth, human capital theory, finance, governance, external aid, political cooperation across developing countries, private higher education and the nature of statistics. They testify to a career well spent and well appreciated.” —Stephen P. Heyneman, Professor (Emeritus), International Education Policy, Vanderbilt University “Professor Tilak is an unforgettable name in the field of Economics of education when it refers to the analysis of the economic dimensions of education in India … there is no issue in economics of education in India that is not subjected to rigorous analysis by Dr. Tilak. The present volume bears testimony to this observation.” —P. R. Panchamukhi, Professor Emeritus and Chairman, Centre for Multi-disciplinary Development Research, Dharwad “Whilst his contributions to the field of higher education are internationally acclaimed, Prof. Tilak, a critical academic-cum-policy analyst, has also provided critical insights in many other areas, including centre-state relations, the politics of aid, and south-south cooperation. His awareness of history has been a vital lens in all his work.” —Kenneth King, Professor Emeritus, University of Edinburgh “Coming from one of the top economists of education in the world, Tilak’s book… is an excellent contribution to the analytical knowledge base on education reforms.” —Bikas C. Sanyal, Former Special Advisor to the UNESCO Director General, Paris
