Rural discrimination in Indian educational system

I have moved my blog to www.spotalks.com

India the country where almost 60% of the population lives in rural areas.Villages in India are considered to be backbone.Because without backbone no individual can live peacefully.Educational system in India is broadly divided into CBSE,ICSE and state board.CBSE schools are rarely found in rural areas.State board schools maintained by state government are very poor in condition.
The quality of education in the rural areas are extremely bad.The place where majority of population lives is not getting good education. Is it possible for student living in rural areas to aspire for IITs and IIMs.I know many students live in rural areas study more than his/her city counterparts.I studied in the state board school in cuddalore old town where my friends used to study more than 8-9 hours after school hours.School schedule was very weird we had school from 6.30 am - 6.30pm.Many of my friends who studied in that school came from lower middle class and poor families.Since school is situated in town area we used to travel for more than half hour from our place.
Even studying for so many hours in school and in home many of my friends endup studying in bad colleges.Is it their fault or in educational system?.I had a privilege of studying in chennai.There students used to study little compare to my friends in village/town.But they all got good colleges.What is wrong actually here?.I believe that flow of information is restricted in village or rural areas.Since information creates more opportunities.how can we improve the condition in rural/villages school?.
suggestions to this blog is welcome

well written as Udit said... but it might have been a better if you could suggest your own ideas...

I don't know if just changing the schools to CBSE or ICSE would in itself be taht helpful.I would rather have the state board develops a better syllabus. Then again i don't know if its just the syllabus that is a problem because i myself don't think the CBSE syllabus is perfect by a long shot. At least in Kerala there are certain state schools which are comparable to CBSE onesand there are certain CBSE schools which have hardly anything at all(though these cases are rare).

As for students in rural areas not getting into IITs and IIMs... i guess improving the education system should automatically change this too.... but along with it, there should be some way to inspire these students to try hard enough for these institutes... because i firmly beleive that hrad work without a defenite aim is simply a waste of time...
