Student Loans in Financing Higher Education in India.

Tilak, Jandhyala B. G.

Higher Education, v23 n4 p389-404 Jun 1992

This article critically reviews implementation of the National Loan Scholarship Scheme in India. It examines the program's strengths, weaknesses, and problems (e.g., a culture with negative attitudes toward such loans). It concludes that student loans are making little contribution to either the efficiency or equity of higher education in India. (Author/DB)
