From 1925 on University education in India:
"The market value of a university degree has steadily depreciated during the last thirty years, notwithstanding the efforts that have been made to promote industrial development and expand the field for the utilisation of the services of the educated classes. It was the late Mr. Justice Ranade, of the Bombay High Court, who first drew attention to the necessity for creating in India opportunities for more varied careers than are offered by the administration and the legal and teaching professions. A great diversity of occupations is essential to the wellbeing of a civilised community and a much higher standard of living than that which prevails in India is necessary to provide the demand for services requiring the exercise of trained intellectual faculties. The development of the natural wealth of the country is the only way in which the material condition of the masses can be improved.” (Chatterton, 1925)
