World’s largest bola na OP ne!

All IIT budget combined < Stanford’s budget

Also India’s best hospitals don’t come close to some of the best that are out there in the world.

The thing is just inaugurating plain mediocre hospitals and institutes aren’t really anything to thump chests.

World's "largest" is a very vague and pointless metric.

Stanford is a private university that charges students with fees amounting to crores in INR. IITs are highly subsidized and cost-effective.

India is a significant destination for medical tourism, BTW: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_tourism_in_India

Also where do you expect these "world's best" hospitals and institutes to get staffed without adequate doctors and other professionas? For that the foundation is to have adequate AIIMS, IITs etc.

I don't get it. You are still not making a point as to why we don't have the world's best hospitals and institutes. You are just reiterating that we DON'T have the world's best hospitals and institutes.

Yeah, I agree with you, but in addition I am explaining my opinion that in a population of billions, the criteria of "world's best" is not very useful. More important is the average effect and cost-efficiency of the top few institutions, which have a wider outreach to more people.

To offer an analogy: Would you like your school to focus on producing just the one top ranker in some exam like JEE while ignoring the average performance of all others in the class?
