While the long-term growth trend in IT training in the professional training market could be a
good story, but to be cautious. There is a need for Edu-entrepreneurial solutions for addressing
the cultural and socioeconomic complexities and for more innovations and strategies in the
service sector. A country’s economic development in the present globalized world is directly
proportional to the qualified, skilled, and competent workforce it possesses. Education not only
empowers the people but also develop productive capabilities on/in individuals to face the on-
slaught of competition in the human resources market, and national challenges are related to
the economic, social & cultural problems at national level in the various interest groups of a
given society, depending on their perspectives, outlook on higher education could be in danger.
II. IMPACT OF EDUCATION ON INDIAN SERVICES SECTOR
The impact of the education sector at micro and macro levels of the economy, personal atti-
tudes, and social behavior show that the institutions and their financial health need more than
careful attention. In higher education, promotion and of the inevitable private financing have
become prevalent, while the measures for active cost recovery and private investment, too,
have emerged and accepted tool. As a result, a developing resource service became a gamble
for profits to the individual and the resource generating agency. In this globalization the basis
is negligible. The financing of higher education becomes significant in the context of its soci-
oeconomic dimension as it seeks to raise a very poignant issue for the growth of an individual
in particular and the nation in general. It also becomes essential to judge as still too many
capable students are excluded from the preview of the higher education system due to their
weak socio-economic background. Many of them are not in the capacity to avail of the educa-
tion loans either due to a lack of awareness/fragile economic status. Because of the above de-
velopments, paper tries look at issues related to service sector Indian education in the 21st
century.
