Statement: The education of a student at collegiate level, not taking into account maintenance expenses, costs four hundred rupees a year. Collegiate education is thus drawing heavily upon national resources of an impoverished community. So college education should be restricted to a brilliant few.
Assumptions:
I. Our resources are very limited.
II. Only a few students should be admitted to the colleges.
