The Prime Minister's Office wants the proposed National Commission for Education to be created more in the way Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia visualises it. The PMO has sent a note to the HRD Ministry during the weekend. In it, the officials have suggested that the Commission should look at the holistic picture of education in the country, suggest structural changes but, as Ahluwalia had suggested long ago, should be without the power to allocate resources.
