Complete the loop between knowledge generation centers and current politics
Its a idea to help improve the culture of politics in India. The idea is new only in its application but not in its constitution. Education for professionals have been institutionalized but education for politicians have never been institutionalized.
Just like a educational institute is able to create a network of people who abide by the culture of institute, why can't we create a institute where we can create a network of people who will abide by the by the culture of the institute and create great leaders for our future. However, we need to be cautious that the culture of institute should not be monopolized and thus it must be very open structured.
The aim is to improve the standard of current politics though institutionalized education. Over the period its alumni base will grow and improve but the point is that it will help create a platform for more informed, critical discussion of matters.
This is not an all encompassing idea, it doesn't aim to solve all problems. It aims to recreate the link between current politics and institutionalized education. Why? Because it has been our experience that educational institutions do improve the overall mileu of the society.
The following map illustrates the ideas in a pictorial form (Please look carefully for loops and try to construct missing links as well for better appreciation, you can take a print of it and work out the missing links, loops, concepts etc.)
