Temples are not giving any type of education. People just go to temple for worship. Any one can go to temple at any time and worship god, there is no teacher no learner.
People should be made aware of education. Everyone should be educated. Worshiping god is different and education is different. One should not relate education with religious beliefs.

i totally agree on you sir because the temple goers will learn the magical things and whereas the school goers will learn the science inside that magic. i think the temple goers are blind fatalist and whereas the school goers will always think the reason behind anything which is happening
I too feel that the comparison does not make sense. Yes, there should be more schools but that is irrespective of the number of worshiping places. There should be more school goers than temple goers. But they should be more in number as compared to pub goers and mall hoppers as well. At least religious places do not have negative effect on education.However, I agree that there needs to be more educational institutions with proper infrastructure. The condition of existing schools should be improved. But that too will not solve all problems. There is an acute shortage of trained teachers in the country.More trained teachers should be recruited. For that the salary has to improve. So, there's a lot to work on for the education system to improve.
There is another aspect. This is not only about temples. This is about all religions and places of worship. One can remain uneducated either by not going to school or dropping earlier. But nobody can escape religion. One has some freedom in education. He may form his own ideas and opinion, make independent research and choose subjects of study. But religion and the views, practices are thrust upon the moment you are born. You may choose school but not religion.
The mushrooming of temples is also caused by Land mafia. When they intend to grab some land, they will quickly make some temple there or place some deity idol there and start worship.
There is no doubt that more and more educational institutions are required but temple is not stopping it. Are the school goers and college goers going to temple at the time of going to their educational institutions? No, they are not but they are bunking classes and visiting various entertainment spots. Not only this. every now and then we see new public schools but every citizen cannot afford it and condition of most of the government schools are in shamble. I am not talking about infrastructure even there are no teachers for some subjects and in many schools no permanent headmaster is there. What is the role of the education department? They do not pay any attention to all this requirement of a school so that students get interested in attending school. So, why should we blame religion and place of worship for every loophole in our society,country or policies?
Definitely there should be sufficient educational institutions, infrastructure and staff to improve the educational level of the nation. It should be done with proper planning and action. But what has religion to do here? It is true that the places of worship are more in number. But how do they affect or do any harm to the educational sector? Education and religion are two independent subjects and I couldn’t find any relevance in bringing them face to face for a comparison.
It is true that there is no relation between education and Religious places or Religion. The intention of the author of the thread points out a fact in the present scenario. Religious places are outnumbering the educational institutions. In this context many of the members pointed out that there is a need for increasing the number of educational institutions.
We all celebrate our religious festivals so what's the harm in having a worship place around us. If it is maintained tidily and harmoniously then it's not a hindrance to the people and the education system. By comparing the number of temple and education centre is actually of no relevance.
There is nothing wrong absolutely in having places of worship or doing worshiping. Having educational institutions is also important rather more important in development of the country. If places of worship outnumber the educational institutions ,how one can expect an educated society and a country can develop?
There are so many religions and people from every religion would need a place of worship in the vicinity. So, naturally there will be more places of worship. It is not correct to make a comparison with the number of educational institutions. It would have made more sense if survey showed comparison between the money being wasted on the number of pubs etc in the cities and the amount spent for promoting education.
The purpose is to provide the quality of education that helps in taking the country towards development. If these educational institutions serve this purpose, then there is nothing wrong in having more number of places of worship. But the things are happening in a different way. Quality education is deteriorating by day and above all there is no accessibility to a common man.

Number of education institutions is not enough in India and education institutes which are working is not able to give quality education. Education and religion have not any relation specialy is ref. of Hindus.

Of course there is no relation between religion and education. But education is as important as religion in view of the necessity of developing the the country. Anybody will agree that how vital is the role of education in the development of a country. If these educational institutions are increased and provide quality education, there is nothing wrong in having more places of worship.

But it is not duty of educational institute of teach us about religion. Requirement of educational institutes is only for the young, but religious places are for all peoples, so these may be more than educational institutes.
Both Religion and Education are different institutions necessary and essential for the upkeep of society ! I agree with Lopamudra and the two should not be compared because their purpose is different . Places of worship for all religions and educational institutions can exist side by side as long as they don't clash and come in the way of each other
This goes on to show that Indians are fearful people who always want to reach to power of Lord in any case they feel the advent of fear onto their mental capacity. It is natural. Education is important and ratio should be increased so that future citizens have good impartment of education in order to build a strong society.
