The Indian Scenario

subject

description

The architecture of the Indian higher-education system is not a simple one, with the legacy of the British Empire, the distinction between deemed and non-deemed universities, aided and non-aided colleges, rural and urban institutions. The youth of the Indian population arguably constitutes the most decisive asset in the knowledge economy. The mass-scale of Indian higher-education as well as the increasingly significant role of the private sector, are posing new challenges to regulatory bodies. The supply of graduates assumes great importance in twenty-first-century India. The enhancement and the modernization of the Indian higher-education system have been redefined as a national priority, triggering a comprehensive wave of institutional reforms (RUSA, Campus Connect India, Think in India, and so on).
