Over the years, driven by corrupt system, government apathy and poor infrastructure the system more or less has collapsed in many states. Now comes a silver lining. A dynamic education minister backed by a pragmatic chief minister in the country's capital decided to completely overhaul the system. The book is his journey and chronicles how he went about achieving the impossible. A must read for all who believe that a sound education system can help bring about a great change in society
