Education is one of the significant factors instrumental to the development of a country. Although there have been challenges to school education in the past, the most recent calls for reform may provoke a fundamental change in school education. This change may not occur as a direct response to calls for greater transparency and accountability, but rather because of the opportunity to reflect on the purpose of school education, the role of colleges and universities in the new millennium, and emerging scientific research on how people learn. These disparate literatures have not been tied together in a way that would examine the impact of fundamental change from the policy level to the institutional level and to the everyday lives of school, college and university administrators, faculty and students. Now the time has come to create a second wave of institution building and of excellence in the fields of education, research and capability building. We need higher educated people who are skilled and who can drive our economy forward. When India can provide skilled people to the outside world then we can transfer our country from a developing nation to a developed nation very easily and quickly. The emerging Indian society needs to make the system of their school education must innovative and futuristic to face the changing demands of the modern Indian Society.

Key Words:  School education, institution building and excellence in the field.
