The main reason for India emerging out of economic wilderness is its large educated genext. Imagine the heights we can achieve if the next generation is equipped with quality education; like that provided in the IITs and the IIMs. Yes, we must have as many of them as we can; in fact, if we can help it, we must have one IIT and an IIM in every state, if not in every town.But ofcourse, these fine institutions must be thoroughly insulated from political interferences. There is also a possibility of people like Arjun Singh, A Ramdoss and Lalu Prasad Yadav ruining the institutes by their reservation politics. These Institutes must only admit students based on merit and no other consideration.

I think the setting up of new insitutions is unnecessary. Instead, we should focus on upgrading the already established universities.
An interesting statistic:
Total number of universities in the USA: is 4182 whereas the number of universities in India are: 8900. I dont know how to interpret these numbers but thought Id quote them for reference:

Public 4-year institutions / 622 / 5,969,950
