1. INTRODUCTION
The National Policy on Education 1986, as amended in 1992, has been the guiding
document for the policies of the Central Government in the education sector. The
National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986, which was modified in 1992 envisages, inter
alia , a National System of Education to bring about uniformity in education, making
adult education programmes a mass movement, providing universal access, ensuring
retention and improving quality in elementary education, special emphasis on education
of girls, establishment of pace-setting schools, like Navodaya Vidyalayas in each district,
vocationalisation of secondary education, synthesis of knowledge and inter-disciplinary
research in higher education, starting more Open Universities in the States,
strengthening of the All India Council of Technical Education, encouraging sports,
physical education, Yoga and adoption of an effective evaluation method.
The Government has initiated the process of formulating a New Education Policy
to meet the changing dynamics of the population’s requirement with regard to quality
education, innovation and research, aiming to make India a knowledge superpower by
equipping its students with the necessary skills and knowledge and to eliminate the
shortage of manpower in science, technology, academics and industry.
2. OBJECTIVES OF GRASSROOTS CONSULTATIVE PROCESS
The objective of the consultation process is to ensure that an inclusive,
participatory and holistic approach is undertaken, which takes into consideration
expert opinions, field experiences, empirical research, stakeholder feedback, as well
as lessons learned from best practices. Traditionally, previous Commissions for
driving Education Policy have undertaken a common approach which included the
following:
Top down approach based on setting up expert task force, working groups
and/or sub-committees.
Each group was based on a thematic topic.
4
Recommendations were made based on field visits, discussions,
conferences/workshops, interviews, limited citizen outreach, special studies,
meetings with constitutional leaders and elected officials.
The consultation process involved multiple stakeholders including
government, academia, industry, experts and media.
The consultation time taken varied from six months to three years.
While past consultative processes have been extensive, they have taken a top-down
approach, depending on limited feedback from field workers and stakeholders on the
ground who are responsible implementing the Education Policy. Further, they have
been thematic based, with discussions being held in silos.

I. Ensuring Learning Outcomes in Elementary Education
In elementary education, despite improvements in access and retention, the
learning outcomes for a majority of children continue to be an area of serious
concern. Studies are showing that children are not learning the basic skills during
their schooling. Many children who reach grade V cannot read simple texts and
cannot do simple arithmetic calculations. The examination results of the children
are poor. Concerted efforts are required to ensure that a minimum set of cognitive
skills are acquired by all children during eight years of elementary education.
The States are implementing reforms such as early grade reading, writing,
comprehension and maths programs in conjunction with defining and measuring
learning outcomes. The NCERT has completed 3 rounds of National Level
Achievements Survey for Classes –III, V, & VII/VIII. States have been given funds to
conduct State level achievement surveys and the States are conducting State level
learning achievement surveys which are at different stages of conducting one or
more rounds of SLAS.
However, even with all these reforms, there is a need to explore the various
approaches to improve teaching–learning at the elementary stage. There is a need to
understand the reasons of low learning achievement levels in elementary schooling,
assess the system of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation and suggest ways
and methods of improving the learning outcomes of school children which would
result in enhancing the quality of elementary education. The quality issues and
determinants thereof such as ensuring availability of trained teachers, good
curriculum and innovative pedagogy that impact upon learning outcomes of the
children need to be addressed on priority basis.
4
What in your view are the reasons for the poor performance of your children
in the schools?
How do we ensure that children learn the basic language and numeracy skills
in the schools?
How do we use technology to ensure real time availability of teachers?
Should there be dedicated teachers for classes 1 & 2.
What needs to be introduced in teacher training for improving teaching
learning process at foundation level of schools?
Should there be any special measures for primary schools to make them
attractive for students, parents, teachers like colourful furniture, rugs play
way toys, charts, pictures etc.
Do you think games, art and confidence building measures should be
introduced from primary level itself?
What should be the student assessment systems?
How many languages should be available for children to learn at
elementary level?
How do we factor in pre primary/ play school industry in our country that
seems to be mushrooming?
States to highlight in which areas do they seek international partnerships?
5
II. Extending outreach of Secondary and Senior Secondary Education
With Universal Elementary Education(UEE) becoming a reality, near
universalization of secondary education is a logical next step. Further,
universalisation of quality secondary education implies creating secondary
schooling provisions of a defined standard irrespective of the location and
management of the institution to accommodate all those eligible grade VIII and
grade X students who are willing to participate in secondary and higher secondary
education. It is expected that initiatives such as RTE of eight years of schooling
would not only be increasing participation levels in elementary education but also
substantially improve the internal efficiency of elementary education in the coming
years and ensure higher levels of transition to secondary schooling. Further, with
the improvements in retention and transition rates particularly amongst the more
disadvantaged groups, there is an increasing pressure on the secondary schools to
admit more students.
A wide range of centrally sponsored schemes are being run by different
secondary school institutions and bodies so as to ensure greater geographical
coverage, social and gender inclusion and use of ICT for quality enhancement. RMSA
is now envisaged as a single comprehensive scheme to address issues of coverage
and quality in secondary education in a holistic manner.
To what extent we have made quality education available, accessible and
affordable to the target population in the age group of 14–18 years. What is
negative impact on society and economy of not doing this?
How can we increase access to post elementary education across the country in
a manner so as to ensure no child is denied the opportunity of completing
his/her school education?
6
How can we address the geographical and social disparities in secondary
education?
What needs to be done to improve student participation in Science and
Mathematics subjects?
What can be done to overcome shortages in qualified teachers for Science and
Mathematics? How can we engage with DST engage to address the needs of
science & Maths teachers for both primary/ secondary education?
To what extend can ICT be used in secondary/ senior secondary schools to
enhance teaching-learning process?
What kinds of pupil assessment systems are desirable at secondary level to
ensure problem solving and critical training amongst children?
Is there a need to improve secondary/senior secondary text books?
What is needed to improve teacher performance?
How many languages should be taught at secondary/senior secondary level?
Is a PPP model to expand schooling at these levels, feasible?
How can ICT based interventions enhance use of hands on education, field
visits, etc?
7
III. Strengthening of Vocational Education
A knowledgeable and skilled workforce is seen as the most important human
capital required for the development of a country. Both vocational education and
skill development are known to increase productivity of individuals, profitability of
employers and national growth. Vocational education aims to develop skilled
manpower through diversified courses to meet the requirement primarily the
unorganized sector and to inculcate self employment skills in children through a
large number of diversified vocational courses. Given that only 7 to 10 per cent of
population is engaged in formal sector of economy, development of vocational
education will provide skilled labour force in the informal sector which would
further enhance the productivity. Several Committees also emphasize the need to
improve access and participation to vocational education and recommends the
flexibility of Vocational education within the main-stream education system.
In India, the general education and vocational education have been operating
as two different verticals with very little interaction between the two. This had lead
to hesitation in students opting vocational courses as there is a general
apprehension that one cannot pursue higher degrees or qualification. The
vocationalisation of secondary education scheme was revised in 2014 to address the
issue of weak synergy with industry in planning and execution, lack of vertical and
horizontal mobility, redundant courses and curricula as well as paucity of trained
vocational educational teachers. The National Skills Qualification Framework NSQF)
has been notified in Dec 2013, to provide and overall framework to set up vocational
education programme. There is a greater emphasis on integrating skills in education
and a renewed focus on vocational education in secondary education. It also
demands of a revamp of our education system to make skill development an integral
part of the curriculum at all stages.
8
Would skill based education help, students to be employable?
What difficulties are experienced in implementing VE in the schools
What are the issues regarding availability and training of vocational teachers.
Some States have been effectively integrating vocational education in
mainstream education. How can these be adopted or adapted across other
States?
Should VE subjects be the best of five or six subjects for class XII or class X
scores?
What needs to be done to make VE popular amongst students?
School services-sector courses, be introduced in schools rather than
manufacturing based courses?
Schools blend professional courses, which utilize the school students learning
of science, maths, accounting, computers, history, geography be developed for
VE, to help the students employability and knowledge base?
Should there be a counselling level factored in at school level which helps
child identify the craft/ industry/service he/she inclined towards and skill
sets they need to develop and do a skill roadmap per child at school? If yes,
then at which grade level should it be done.
9
IV. Reforming School Examination Systems
Examination reforms that focus on problem-solving, critical thinking and
reasoning skills are critical to improving quality at the elementary and
secondary levels. Such reforms will change the teaching–learning processes and
improve learning outcomes. In recent years, CBSE has introduced wide-ranging
examination reforms in schools affiliated to it, such as Class X Board
Examination has been made optional, a system of grading in place of marks has
been introduced.
Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) has been
strengthened so that the students are assessed on an ongoing basis for their
holistic development. For implementing CCE several activities are expected in
the classroom such as Preparation of child profile and cumulative record ,
Various activities for evaluating cognitive and co-cognitive levels, Use of various
methods to evaluate children such as observation , questioning in class room ,
Utilizing information gathered for improvement in teaching learning/ remedial
inputs for children built into the process . CCE also involves sharing of children’s
learning progress with parents through parent teacher meetings
State Boards have also made efforts to update curriculum and impose
examination systems. However, problems still beset the examination system.
The existing systems need to be examined threadbare.
What are the experiences of government schools in implementing CCE
Has CCE helped student’s academic performance?
What is the general feedback of students, teachers and parents regarding
the no detention policy and CCE?
Has the abolition of class X board reduced learning level of our students?
What other reforms can be suggested which would help better assessment
of students.
10
Is our examination system only assessing note learning?
Can the examination system shift towards questions that assess the
students application of concept, problems solving abilities and critical
thinking?
How can assessment systems become more nuanced and reward children
for thinking and innovation.
11
V. Revamping Teacher Education for Quality Teachers
Quality of teachers has been a major cause of worry in the country and one of the
basic pre requisites to improve quality. Competence of teachers and their
motivation is crucial for improving the quality. Several initiatives are being taken for
addressing teacher shortages, shortages of secondary school teachers in
mathematics, science and languages, improving the quality of pre-service teachers
and in-service teachers professional development, enhancing the status of teaching
as a profession, improving teachers’ motivation and their accountability for
ensuring learning outcomes, and improving the quality of teacher education
institutions and also teacher educators. Inspite of several efforts by the Central and
State governments issues of large number of vacancies in both elementary and
secondary levels, problems of untrained teachers, lack of professionalism in teacher
training institutions, mismatch in training and actual classroom practices, teacher
absenteeism and teacher accountability and involvement of teachers in non-
teaching activities all need to be addressed. With the aim to recruit quality teachers,
CBSE introduced the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) State Governments
have introduced the TETs.
What are the specific steps needed to fill in the existing teacher vacancies in
elementary schools?
Why have the existing teacher training programmes failed to bring about
improvements in the quality of teaching learning?
What are the workable solutions to address the gamut of issues in teacher
education in the school sector?
Are teachers performance assessments needed to build a culture of
accountability amongst teachers? Should promotion of teaching faculty be in
conjunction with their performance?
12
Should an automatic computerized system be made for all teaching/transfer
posts so that there is rationalization?
What methods can be devised for making it mandatory for all teachers to
undergo yearly in service training?
13
VI. Accelerating rural literacy with special emphasis on Women, SCs, STs &
Minorities through Adult Education and National Open Schooling Systems
Literacy is an integral and indispensable element of educational development.
Literacy can pave way for reduction in population growth, child mortality and
poverty, and facilitate in attaining gender parity, sustainable and holistic growth. It
provides for nurturance of democratic values and peace among people. Literacy is
all the more important to those sections of population, who have been historically
neglected. Achieving universal adult literacy is a fundamental goal of adult and
continuing education programmes that have been envisaged from time to time
The 2011 Census have revealed that despite an impressive decadal increase
of 9.2 percent points in literacy, national literacy levels have risen to no more than
74.1 percent (from 64.8 percent in 2001). The 2011 Census has shown that female
literacy has increased much more than male literacy. While male literacy rate
increased by 6.86 percent points from 75.26 percent in 2001 to 82.14 in 2011, the
female literacy increased by 11.79 percent points from 53.67 to 65.46 percent
during the same period. The gender gap which was 21.6 percent points in 2001 has
receded to 16.7. Yet the gender gap still remains much above the targeted 10
percent points. Thus, even today the Plan Targets have not been achieved: overall
literacy rate being short by five percent points, gender gap yet to be reduced by
another 6.7 percent points and social and regional disparities still persisting.
Adult education is indispensable as it supplements the efforts to enhance and
sustain literacy levels through formal education. ‘Saakshar Bharat’ has been devised
as the new variant of National Literacy Mission. The scheme seeks to further
promote and strengthen Adult Education, specially of women, by extending
educational opportunities to those adults who lack access to formal education and
have crossed the standard age for receiving such education, now feel a need for
14
learning of any type, including, literacy, basic education (equivalency to formal
education), vocational education (skill development), physical and emotional
development, practical arts, applied science, sports, and recreation. The scheme has
been formulated with the objective of achieving 80% literacy level by 2012 at
national level, by focusing on adult women literacy seeking – to reduce the gap
between male and female literacy to not more than 10 percentage points.
Though there have been significant gains in literacy rates, large gender, social
and regional disparities in literacy levels persist. The gains in literacy levels are due
to success of the adult education programmes and improvements in primary
schooling. However, there is a further need to enhance the literacy levels of the
socially marginalized groups and those living in rural areas through interventions of
adult education programmes and open schooling systems. What are the
impediments in implementing literacy programmes at village, block and district
levels
Is it more difficult to implement adult literacy programmes in urban
dwellings such as slums?
What are the reasons why the literacy programmes are unable to reach the
socially deprived sections as much as desired?
What other strategies can be employed to achieve faster progress in reducing
the existing disparities in literacy levels.
Should the Open School Systems reach out in a larger way, to adult illiteracy?
Can school students be harnessed to spread the literacy programme?
How can we integrate specific skills component in the adult literacy
programme plus engage with national livelihood programmes?
What are the impediments in implementing literacy programmes at village,
block and district levels?
15
VII. Promotion of Information and Communication Technology systems in
school and adult education
ICT can potentially make significant difference in improving the quality of
education. Most of the secondary schools have limited availability of computer
facilities. This constrains the students from acquiring ICT-related skills essential in
the knowledge economy and limits teachers’ ability to upgrade their subject-matter
knowledge and students’ ability to access essential learning materials.
The National Policy of ICT in School Education envisions and provides for the
development of a holistic framework of ICT support in the school system. Mission
Mode Project (MMP) on School Education would enable comprehensive technology
enablement of the school education sector. This would cover Developing ICT skills
of all heads of schools, teachers, non-teaching staff and students; Creating a
repository of quality-assured digital contents in English, Hindi and regional
languages in all subjects especially in science and mathematics; Training and
encouraging teachers to develop and use e-content; Creating provisions for ICT in
classrooms or portable facilities and a projector with rechargeable battery, and
implement ICT-integrated education; Enabling provision of ICT-integrated
examination and e-governance at the institutional and systemic level including
setting up of education portals. While there have several ways in which ICT in
schools are being implemented, we need to optimally use and leverage technology
to achieve quality and efficiency in all of the interventions.
What are the usual problems faced by schools while implementing ICT
integration?
Are they viable solutions in dealing with general issues?
What are the different experiences of States in this regard?
What are the ways in which technology can be leveraged for both school and
adult education and share best practices, if any.
16
How can we genuinely ascertain that ICT components are functional in schools ,
particularly in States with challenges i.e. infrastructure especially electricity?
17
VIII. New Knowledge, pedagogies and approaches for teaching of Science,
Maths and Technology in School Education to improve learning outcomes
of Students.
One of the most important measures taken up for improving the
quality in secondary education is to improve the Pupil-Teacher ratios by
appointing additional teachers in order to improve the classroom transaction
process and environment. Further, special attention is paid on teaching of
Science, Mathematics and English. Poor science and maths education (and
English) accounts for 80 per cent of total students who fail in Tenth Board
Examination. The low enrolment in science stream at higher secondary level
and poor-quality education is a constraint in development of scientific
manpower in the country. Science and Maths education would need special
attention. Some of the initiatives under consideration include:
Promoting innovations by encouraging talent spotting of innovators in
schools through Innovation Scholarships
Launch a massive science outreach programme aimed at students and their
parents – Introduce Mobile labs and establish science centers
Quality in education is inherently dependent on curriculum and learning
objectives, learning materials, pedagogic processes, classroom assessment
frameworks, teacher support in the classrooms, and school leadership and
management development. A new framework for curriculum is needed at
regular intervals in order to take cognizance of the developing issues in society
and how to address them. A variety of learning packages needs to be developed
at State and district levels, with adequate provision for cluster- and school-level
modifications to aid the teacher and provide increased choice. Learning
enhancement programme (LEP) under the SSA is continued in the Twelfth Plan.
Every year, States need to articulate the learning goals that are being targeted
18
and the strategies (methods, materials, models and measurement) that will be
used to reach those goals. Institutional assessment/ accreditation of the
elementary schools is envisaged.
What are the workable strategies for strengthening the quality of
teaching–learning processes for better outcomes;
What are the various approaches regarding curricula renewal, new
pedagogies and use of technology to improve the learning levels.
In the event that parents do not know what outcomes to expect from
which level, can these processes truly fructify without engaging with
parents? How can this aspect be addressed?
19
IX. Schools standards, School assessment and School Management systems.
There is a need to put in place a School Quality Assessment and Accreditation
System to cover all aspects of school functioning, including scholastic and co-
scholastic domains, physical infrastructure, faculty management, school leadership,
learning outcomes and satisfaction of pupils and their parents/ guardians.
Better governance structures in schools striking a balance between
mandating and persuading, training of district and block-level education officers as
well as head teachers for better management practices, on using data to better
monitor and support school performance, and to mobilise community resources and
efforts to improve school performance. The local community and panchayats are not
very often actively involved in school management. While Village education
Committees /School Management Committees are formed in most villages, many of
them do not function effectively. It is generally believed that the village schools will
function effectively only when the local community is active and participates in the
functioning of the schools.
What are the ways to improve community participation in school
management?
What should be the role of the Panchayat in the management of the schools?
How can we implement a assessment and accreditation system in schools ?
What are performance indicators for grading schools?
What are the current experiences and how can they be bettered to achieve
tangible results.
Is there a case for revamping the role of education officers in districts, blocks
etc., to become in charge of school development and improvement in school?
20
X. Enabling Inclusive Education – education of Girls, SCs, STs, Minorities and
children with special needs.
The issue of social access and equity are far too complex. While the gaps in
average enrolments between disadvantaged groups like SC, ST, Muslims, girls and
Children with special needs and the general population have decreased, there is still
a considerably large gap in learning levels with historically disadvantaged and
economically weaker children having significantly lower learning outcomes. Large
and growing learning gaps threaten the equity gains achieved on the enrolment
front because children with lower levels of learning are more likely to drop out. In
order to increase the participation of girls and other special category children,
specific interventions are being made. There is a need to examine current
interventions in bridging the gender and social gaps and identify focused strategies
for effective inclusion.
With the adoption of Right to Education and enormous expansion of the
system, access to school education has become near universal. However, children
from certain sections of the population remain unable to benefit fully from the
education system despite several special measures.
Many girl children are not sent to schools and even those you complete
primary levels are not sent to pursue their studies at the secondary levels and
colleges.
How do we ensure full participation of the marginalized groups in schooling,
particularly for children belonging to SC, ST and minority groups?
What measures should be taken to make our educational institutions truly
inclusive facilitating the participation of differently abled children with
special needs?
21
In your view to what extent has RTE helped to ensure participation of
children, especially from disadvantaged families, in schools?
Why do parents not send their girls to school?
What measures should be adopted by the Government to bring girls to
schools?
How could we mobilise community support to bring all girl children to
schools?
By excluding minority establishment from RTE what are the pitfalls?
Are there any traditional skill sets which need to be encouraged in tribal
areas?
What special skill sets and financial and legal literacy components can be
imbibed in girl/ woman’s education?
How can Language challenges be identified and what solutions are possible?
22
XI. Promotion of Languages.
A multi-lingual society recognises the importance of education in languages. While
there are some interventions for appointment of language teachers and promotion
of classical languages, there is no comprehensive scheme or language policy and we
need to have inputs on this dimension. India follows, in principle, a three language
formula. Learning through mother tongue at least in the early stages of schooling is
also advocated. There is also a general perception that children learning through
English medium have advantage over others while entering the world of work.
The current status of Multi- lingual Education indicates that systematically planned
programs are being implemented by States of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, covering
8-10 tribal languages. Assam, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Jharkhand have developed
material for eg. dictionaries; reading cards for bridging children from home
language to medium of instruction. States gradually expanding number of schools
covered, adding new languages and also transitioning to bi-lingual or multi-lingual
classrooms
Impact of Mother tongue based education has shown increased attendance and
retention of tribal students , children are more engaged in the teaching and learning
process, use of Lively, interactive using pictures and artifacts from tribal culture.
NCERT’s Evaluation study found that Mother tongue based education had a positive
impact on students’ achievement in language and mathematics. Significant
achievement found in the oral, written tests in language and Math by children in
these schools when compared to non-intervention schools.
Which are the languages you would you like your children to learn in the
schools?
What should be the place of English, Hindi and local languages in school
education?
23
Which language you would prefer to be the medium of instruction in
schools?
Should we encourage education in mother-tongue and multi-lingual
education in schools? What are difficulties in implementing it?
Should three language formula be debated?
In a highly competitive world at which level and how can foreign
languages be prescribed as an additional tool?
24
XII. Comprehensive Education – Ethics, Physical Education, Arts & Crafts,
Life Skills.
Education is concerned with all-round development of the child (physical, socio-
emotional along with cognitive), all aspects need to be assessed rather than only
academic achievement. As part of the Twelfth Plan initiatives, now there is a
system-wide focus on holistic development of children by improving learning
outcomes and other non-scholastic areas. Our students need to have a holistic
development which cannot be achieved only through information and instruction.
Physical education, games and sports should be made an integral part of the
curriculum and daily routine in schools for the holistic development of children.
The Schedule to the RTE Act mandates that all schools shall be provided play
material, games and sports equipment. Since many urban schools have inadequate
facilities of sports on their own, other neighbourhood schools with such facilities in
the public and private sectors and also municipal parks and public play fields should
be opened up for children of such schools during school hours on nominal
maintenance costs. Building on innovative approaches already undertaken ,
teachers must also be trained to lead quality and inclusive physical education
sessions as part of both their pre-service and in-service training.
Visual and performing arts are a critical part of school education and also provide
space for children with different abilities. Arts are a powerful tool in the teaching
learning process. It enables children to express ideas, emotions and thoughts freely,
to comprehend and build perspectives. Children experience joy, sense of freedom in
the process of learning when they have the opportunity to explore, to imagine,
visualise, observe through their senses, to participate and communicate. It enhances
interest as children connect arts with all subjects and with their daily lives. Art also
has a cognitive component; it makes us think, reflect, hypothesise, perceive,
comprehend and create. Renowned art Institutions and Central academies can
25
contribute significantly to the inclusion of arts in the school curriculum and its
implementation.
Knowledge needs sensitization to values, ethics, appreciating arts, physical
education, sports and life skills.
What are the suggestions for concrete methods and tools for integration of
sports, physical education, arts and crafts, functional skills for livelihood and
value education in school curriculum.
What are the experiences so far and how can we build on these in a
constructive way.
How can we explore the way forward so that Ethical education can become
mandatory?
What is the Role of NCC in promoting comprehensive education?
26
XIII. Focus on Child Health
There is a need to improve access to child health services. The Ministry of
Health is focusing on promoting child health through appropriate interventions.
Presently, the Department of School Education and Literacy, MHRD addresses
the nutritional needs of school going children in the age group of 6-14 years are
being taken care of by the Mid- Day Meal (MDM) Scheme. With a view to enhancing
enrolment, retention and attendance and simultaneously improving nutritional
levels among primary school children, the National Programme of Nutritional
Support to Primary Education was launched in August 1995. During 2008-09, the
Scheme was extended to cover children in upper primary classes and the Scheme
was renamed as ‘National Programme of Mid-Day Meal in Schools’. The programme
aims at (i) improving the nutritional status of children in Classes I-VIII, (ii)
encouraging poor children belonging to disadvantaged sections to attend schools
more regularly and help them concentrate on classroom activities, and (iii)
providing nutritional support to children at elementary stage of education in
drought-affected areas during summer vacation. The National Programme of Mid-
Day Meal in Schools is now covering all children studying in Classes I-VIII in
Government, Government-aided and Local Body schools. Yet malnutrition, hunger
and poor health remain core problems, which comprehensively affect attendance
and performance in classes.
The principal public initiative for ECCE is the Integrated Child Development
Services (ICDS) of M/o Women and Child Development which aims at responding to
the challenge of providing pre-school education, on one hand, and breaking the
vicious cycle of malnutrition, morbidity, reduced learning capacity and mortality, on
the other. The ICDS seeks to improve the nutritional and health status of children in
the age-group 0-5+ years; lay the foundation for proper psychological, physical and
social development of the child; reduce the incidence of mortality, morbidity,
27
malnutrition and school dropout; achieve effective co-ordination of policy and
28
implementation amongst the various departments to promote child
development; and to enhance the capability of the mother to look after the
normal health and nutritional needs of the child through proper nutrition and
health education.
There is, however, a need to synergize the multi-sectoral interventions taken
by the relevant GOI Ministries.
What are the results of the schemes aimed at child health by the M/o
Health, WCD & SEL?
Are the existing schemes under the different well- coordinated and
synergized for optimum and holistic outcomes? If not , how can this be
resolved.
What other steps can be taken to have greater focus on child health?
Any State experiences that can be replicated and upscaled at the national
level.
How can individual child health be tracked in the SE system and real
time information be available to State and Centre?

I: Governance Reforms for Quality
Quality assurance in higher education is today the top priority of the policy
agenda. Post- secondary education needs to prepare graduates with new skills, a broad
knowledge base and a wide range of competencies to enter a more complex and
interdependent world. Quality is a multi-dimensional concept and several mechanisms
for quality assurance and management at individual and institutional level are needed.
Systems of accountability and accreditation with a robust regulatory mechanism are
essential to the process of sustaining and improving quality. Coordination and
determination of standards in institutions for higher education and research and
scientific and technical institutions is a constitutional obligation of the central
government. It is necessary to involve all stakeholders to institutionalize internal
processes in favour of quality as an island of excellence cannot serve the massive
requirement of higher education. Quality has to be the concern of all institutions and
excellence will flow from good quality institutions and appropriate governance
structures. Higher education (HE) in India has experienced an unprecedented
expansion accompanied by diversification of the sector. The unplanned expansion of
the sector poses challenges for enhancing and maintaining quality.
The country has established external quality assurance agencies in the 1990s to
assure external quality. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) was
set up by the UGC in 1994 to accredit universities and institutions of general higher
education and the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) was established by the All
India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) in 1994 to accredit programmes and
institutions. NAAC accredits institutions and certifies for educational quality of the
institution based on seven criteria. There is a dire need to undertake reforms in the
entire higher education sector beginning with regulatory structures and going down to
the institution level. Some of the possible approaches of reform agenda which could be
considered are:
4
Create independent quality assurance frameworks to address the quality deficit in
the higher educational institutions. Setting up of an Internal Quality Assurance Cell
(IQAC) is one such mechanism to ensure quality within the institutional framework
and linking it with the standards set by the quality assurance agencies..
A governance structure where in appointment of VC & Professors are through
transparent and competitive process
Restructuring the existing regulatory bodies and relook at their multiplicity in a
rationalized manner.
Autonomy matching with accountability: Need to re-align the regulatory functioning
in such a way as to promote autonomy of institutions. This approach envisages that
we embrace a paradigm shift from to Facilitation rather than regulation; Single point
clearances for grants and clearances; encourage global quality institutions.
Autonomy of institutions would also be achieved by conferring degree granting
powers to colleges and conferring autonomous status on colleges. In order to
ensure horizontal and vertical mobility of students, we need to ensure that
uniformity is achieved in terms of syllabi and curricula through a framework; Choice
Based Credit System (CBCS) is adopted by all institutions.
Need to revisit the issue of multiplicity of entrance and eligibility examinations and
explore the possibility of a single national test. Can we have a National Testing
Service for this purpose, which could be developed through consultations and
debate?
Permitting foreign education providers in India for proper regulation and
internationalization of education by enhanced collaborations.
Norm based funding of higher education rather than subjective demand based
inspection governed funding. UGC is the main vehicle of routing funds to central and
state Universities and colleges for funding. Adopting a norm based funding approach
could be considered for improving efficiency in grant disbursals.
5
State universities and their affiliated colleges that account for more than 90 percent
of the enrolment suffer from severe fund constraints and poor governance leading
to poor quality.
Autonomy for Central Educational Institutions
Prevention and prohibition of unfair practices so as to ensure that only merit plays a
role in admissions.
Capitation fees and misleading advertisements to be punished severely.
Questions for discussion
o Which of the following reforms will create better governance structures in State
Universities
Revamp the affiliating system
Ensure multi-stakeholder governing bodies
Clearly defined roles for various governing bodies
Greater accountability through transparency
Greater academic, administrative and financial autonomy
The ability of institutions to charge appropriate fees from students who
can afford to pay and at the same time having a means blind system for
the needy students
o Which of the following reforms will create better governance structures in
Centrally Funded institutions
Changes in the composition of governing bodies such as having
representation from industry, alumni and civil society etc.
Re-align the regulatory functioning in a way so as to promote autonomy
of institutions, with accountability fixed.
Single over-arching regulatory authority?
o )Is it desirable to shift towards norm based and outcome based funding of public
funded higher education institutions? if not why and If yes, why?
6
o What can be done to empower IQAC for internal assessment and accreditation
exercise?
o What institutional measures need to be taken to attract, recruit and retain
exceptionally qualified faculty and also keep the equity focus?
o What should be done to teachers who do not teach ?
Remove transfer counseling
Would you support if they are removed?
o Should the college Principal and the Governing body be given responsibility for
expenditure, and be accountable for it.
o Should the University Act be changed ?
o Should VC’s appointment be based on Search & Selection Committee ?
o Should faculty appointment Committee have Third Party presence as Appraiser
who is to just to watch and give report ?
o Should fees be enhanced to Rs.500/- p.m. when the expenditure is more than
Rs.2000/- per person. This should be come along with waiver for needy
students.
o Should BoG/Governing body be empowered to take decisions with regard to
expenditure on the fee collected?
o Should colleges be autonomous administratively and financially?
o Should colleges be allowed to frame their course work (Accredited) within the
NEP.
o Should teachers have probation for 5 years ?
7
II: Ranking of Institutions and Accreditation
The global ranking of universities is based on an assessment of the institutional
performance in the areas of research and teaching, reputation of faculty members,
reputation among employers, resource availability, share of international students and
activities etc. Most of the top ranking institutions are located in the USA and UK.
The Indian universities do not find a place in the top 200 positions in the global ranking
of universities. Even the top ranking institutions of India appear low in the global
rankings. As per the Times Higher Education Rankings 2012-13, the top ranked Indian
institutions are IIT Kharagpur (234), IIT Bombay (258) and IIT Roorkee (267). The top
ranked institutions as per the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) System 2012 were IIT Delhi
(212), IIT Bombay (227) and IIT Kanpur (278). Does it imply that India has only low
quality higher institutions? The idea of establishing accreditation agencies in India was
to enhance standards and quality of higher education.
As a measure of quality assurance India established accreditation agencies in 1994.
The institutions of higher education were supposed to approach the accreditation
agencies to get their institution or programme accredited. Accreditation was voluntary
and as a result only few institutions have approached and accredited in India. Only 140
universities (out of the 164 recognized by the UGC) have got themselves accredited by
the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and, among them; only 32
percent have rated as A grade or above.
Amongst the 4,870 colleges, as many as 2,780 are accredited by the NAAC and, among
them, barely 9 percent are rated as A or above. Doubtless, quality and excellence in
colleges leaves much to be desired. Among the accredited institutions, 68 percent of
8
the universities and 91 percent of the colleges are rated average or below average in
terms of quality parameters specified by the NAAC.
The Indian higher education system has expanded and will further expand. This is in
response to the increasing social demand for higher education. However, a major
share of this expansion has taken place through the private institutions. The quality of
facilities and teaching learning process in these institutions is far from satisfactory. An
assessment and accreditation of institutions are important, especially in the context of
mushrooming of private higher education institutions, to ensure quality in higher
education.
There is need for effective ways and strategies to expedite the completion of
assessment and accreditation by NAAC within a stipulated time frame. Now
accreditation is made mandatory for higher education institutions to receive funding
support from the UGC. While this is a positive development, the issue of accrediting
large number of institutions within a short period of time poses challenges to the
accreditation agencies. Some of the state governments, notably the State Councils of
Higher Education, have established their own accreditation units. This is an important
development to decentralize the accreditation process. The higher education
institutions have also established internal quality assurance cells. Their functioning and
effect on improving overall quality improvement of the institutions is yet to be assessed.
The issues related to ranking and accreditation raises several issues for discussions.
Questions for discussion
Should India focus its resources on research universities, including liberal arts
and social sciences so as to improve the country’s position in the global
rankings?
9
Should not India develop its own ranking system relying on indicators more
suitable to Indian situation as other ranking systems have heavy weightage for
perception/subjective factors in which Indian Universities lose out.
Accreditation has been made mandatory for all institutions (whether the
institution is publicly funded or not)? Is this approach correct or not?
How should we facilitate the process of accreditation to make the process more
objectively verifiable and transparent?
Should we focus on programme accreditation or institutional accreditation or
both?
10
III: Improving the quality of regulation
The main objective of regulation in higher education is to meet the three objectives of
equity, expansion and excellence as stated in the Twelfth Five Year Plan. There is a
multiplicity of regulators in India and there are separate regulators for higher education,
technical education and professional education. However it is felt that a single
regulatory body would be more effective as it is often the implementation of the
regulations rather than the regulations themselves which poses the problem.
The issue of quality of governance is closely related to the issue of autonomy enjoyed
by the institutions. Starting from the first Commission on higher education
(Radhakrishnan Commission in 1948) there has a strong argument for granting of more
autonomy and less interference from the government in the governance and
management of universities. Commissions on higher education emphasized on the
legislative framework of the universities and a strong governing body with external
members leaving the universities ‘free from interference’. Universities were supposed to
be self-regulating entities and to voluntarily adhere to standards determined by the
UGC.
There is a need to enable institutional autonomy by transforming the role of
government from command and control to an evaluative and steering role. In this
scenario there is a need to increase the capacity of the higher education system to
govern itself by coordinated regulatory reforms. However regulation is needed in some
areas in the higher education sector: granting permission to enter, permission to
operate-decide on the intake of students and introduction of courses, monitoring its
overall performance including issues related to governance and management and levels
of student learning. Also more transparency is needed in both public and private
institutions by requiring them to disclose important standardized information related to
admissions, fees, faculty, programs, placements, governance, finance, business tie-ups
and ownership.
11
As we move from an elitist structure to massification we have the proliferation of
private higher education institutions. Some of these universities and colleges lack
proper infrastructure and faculty strength and have poor academic standards and take
exorbitant fees from students. However measures need to be introduced to ensure that
private institutions are committed to quality, equity and transparency through
regulatory reforms. The current regulatory framework needs to be reframed to: (i)
encourage serious private philanthropy and investment to innovate and provide high-
quality education; (ii) promote better availability of information on private institutions to
the public; (iii) ensure that institutions that indulge in unfair practices are dealt with
swiftly. The system of accreditation will be central to such reforms and needs to be
transparent and function in a time bound manner.
There have been cases like the judgment in 2005 in Chhattisgarh ordered closing down
of 117 private universities as they did not follow the regulations stipulated by UGC in
2003. Recently 41 deemed universities had their deemed status withdrawn after a
physical inspection found them lacking in infrastructure facilities which are needed to
provide quality education.
There is also a need to reform the affiliating system since majority of the teaching takes
place in affiliated colleges. Institutional reforms are needed whereby affiliating
universities will be required to revamp their college development councils and give
greater autonomy to their colleges in all academic, administrative and financial matters.
Questions for discussions
Has the present system of regulation stifled the growth of our institutions? Would it
be better to reduce the number of regulatory bodies and/or should they undergo
massive restructuring so as to function effectively. Please examine in detail.
How do we ensure accountability measures while granting autonomy to institutions
of higher education?
Are the existing regulations sufficient and how to enforce regulations?
12
How autonomous should the regulatory bodies?
Should Inspectorate function be discharged by accreditors?
Should systems be put online for accreditation and videographic evidence be
accumulated by regular for ascertaining what ranking to be given to which
institution?
What are the anomalies/challenges thrown to education sector by private sector
which converts education into a profit making enterprise at the cost of students
and academics?
13
IV: Pace Setting Roles of Central Institutions
Central institutions/universities are regarded as key institutions in the processes of
social change and development. The most explicit role they need to play is in research
and in the production of highly skilled personnel to meet requirements of the production
sector. This crucial role should not keep them away from their role in the building of
new institutions of civil society, encouraging and facilitating new cultural values and
training and socializing new social elites.
Central universities are institutions to be durable and enduring. They need to be wisely
designed, governed and financed to remain our global image and national
competitiveness. These institutions have responsibility to transcend traditional
disciplinary limitation in pursuit of the intellectual fusion and develop a culture of
academic enterprise and knowledge entrepreneurship. They must also be prepared to
begin delivering higher education at scale in a manner that bestows status upon
universities based upon the outcomes they achieve and their breadth of impact rather
than the exclusivity and quality of their incoming freshman class.
Central universities must play a role of academic incubators which will nurture and
produce the young budding academicians and scientists of line which are in much of
demand. Academic incubation centers should be opened by central universities in their
own catchment /region at three different levels: a) Junior academic incubators; b)
Senior Academic incubators; and c) Higher Academic incubators. Junior, senior and high
academic incubators will be responsible for excelling the knowledge and research
oriented aptitude in the students of first to eighth standard, ninth to twelfth standard
and UG/PG standards respectively.
Central universities of the country may be given specified targets to be achieved within
the framework of national priorities for research and teaching to develop experts to
help facilitate regional development in the country. Similarly, the central university
14
professors must be given task to teach students at junior and intermediate level once a
week /fortnight to enthuse them to serious academic work.
Questions for discussion
• How the Central universities will be able to play a pace setting role?
• What steps need to be taken to transform these institutions into centres of
excellence?
• How to promote autonomy and institutional level initiatives to support regional
level development efforts?
• How can CFI’s do hand holding for educational institutions in and around their
local areas?
• Suggest ways how CFI’s can help to promote and spread academic excellence?
• Suggest ways of how CFI’s can help HE in State sector?
Should Central institutions be connected with community and schools close by to
improve the quality of their life.
Should their work and quality of teaching and research be connected to
community?
How do we set performance standards for CFI to ensure financial probity and
administrative and academic excellence?
How can we increase the GER in Central Universities from the current level of 2%
to 10%?
15
V: Improving Public State universities
There have been debates and discussions on the state public higher education system
within the country and recognition of the dire need to change, restructure and reform
them. The issues range from the appointment of Vice Chancellors in the state public
universities, to those of affiliating system and the governance. There is heavy
bureaucratization in the universities. There is severe shortage of teachers and teachers
are appointed on ad hoc positions are ill equipped to manage teaching and research on
paltry payments to them. The universities are not autonomous in their decision making.
The regulations and all academic reform agenda imposed on the state public
universities are either burdensome or are not monitored properly. There is a system of
accreditation of universities and colleges to improve quality, yet the public higher
education has not much responded to it.
The state public universities suffer from severe public resource crunch and this has led
to the proliferation of self financing courses. Some of the colleges in the public
university system are no doubt of very high academic standards, yet there are colleges
in rural and semi urban locations which are languishing. There is no systemic thinking
to improve the efficiency and working of the colleges. There is too much politicization
and it is becoming an unattractive destination for job seekers who prefer to join
corporate jobs.
The standards of research in the public universities are very poor. The doctorates
being awarded in these universities are of poor quality. The teachers have also lack of
opportunities to promote research.
There is also a proliferation of private universities in the state in recent years and there
is no robust mechanism for the maintenance of standards in private universities.
Hence there is a need to think of systemic reforms in state public universities and
colleges. The issues that need to be revisited are: a) appointment of Vice Chancellors in
16
the universities; b) the number of colleges affiliate to some of the state universities; c)
the financing of state public universities and colleges; d) promoting the standards of
teaching and research; e) the process of recruitment of teachers
Questions for discussion
How can the state universities be strengthened in terms of infrastructure,
academic support and provision of qualified teachers?
How can research be promoted among the faculty members teaching in the state
universities?
Is it a good idea to decide on universities on the basis of number of affiliated
colleges?
Will transparent and competitive appointment process help the State universities
Is it better to giving autonomy to colleges ?
Is it desirable that monthly fee should be increased with waiver for needy
students ?
Should Governing body be an empowered body to take decisions with regard to
expenditure on the fee collected and remitted into corpus fund ?
Should administrative & financial autonomy be given to the colleges ?
Should colleges be given academic autonomy for creating courses ?
Should fees be increased and colleges be allowed to retain to improve
infrastructure ?
Should contract teachers be replaced by permanent teachers?
Should teachers be removed when they do not
perform ?
17
VI: Integrating Skill Development in Higher Education
With increasing unemployment among the educated, the need for giving due attention
to employable skills in secondary and higher education is being felt increasingly. As
skilled workforce is considered the most important human capital required for the
development of a country, both vocational education and skill development are known
to increase productivity of individuals, profitability of employers and national growth.
Vocational education aims to develop skilled manpower through diversified courses to
meet the requirement primarily the unorganized sector and to inculcate self
employment skills in children through a large number of diversified vocational courses.
Given that only 7 to 10 per cent of population is engaged in formal sector of economy,
development of vocational education will provide skilled labor force in the informal
sector which would further enhance the productivity. The Central Advisory Board on
Education (CABE) and National Knowledge Commission (NKC) have also emphasized the
need to improve access and participation to vocational education and recommended the
flexibility of vocational education within the mainstream education system. There is
need to look into the innovative delivery models including strengthening of public
private partnership (PPP) in forging linkage between skill development and economic
development.
With the impact of technology and globalization on the labor market, the work
environment has become more complex, requiring new skills to navigate successfully
within a world of work marked by constant change. But the education system is not
able to respond to the demands of the labor market. A key issue is to improve the
effectiveness of the system in order to enhance the employability skills of the workforce
and engender more employment opportunities. Moreover, developing skilled workers
enhances the efficiency and flexibility of the labor market. India has set the target of
skilling 500 million people by 2022. In view of the policy priority and harnessing the
18
potential of young people, skill development assumes great importance in the domain
of educational planning and management.
Several measures a can be taken up in linking education and skill development. There
are possibilities of aligning and developing skill courses – NSQF.; Establishment of
Community \Colleges in General Colleges and Polytechnics; The country may start
vocational Studies programmers at the under-graduate level and introducing skill credit
transfer to facilitate vertical/horizontal mobility, We may introduce KAUSHAL – Bridging
Diploma-Degree Divide and promoting region specific skills. Similarly, the Polytechnics
education may focus on employable skills.
Questions for discussion
At what level of education should skill be introduced?
Should not skill be introduced in higher education?
What efforts should be made to introduce need based employable skill courses?
In what ways, bridge between general a vocational courses should be established
to enhance employability of the educated?
What institutional mechanisms should be established to make provision for
certification of skills already in the informal sector?
In what ways, linkages should be established between educational and industries to
promote skill based education.
What guidance and counseling should be provided to the prospective youth for
opting skill based courses?
Should not Associate Degrees be introduced in the Community Colleges as in the
U.S.A.?
Should not higher education allow entry at any stage and temporary exit at the end
of any semester?
Should regular course enable modules of skill which will increase employability?
19
VII: Promoting Open and Distance Learning and Online Courses
Conventional education alone cannot meet the needs and aspiration of higher education.
Distance education system is emerging as an important means to cater to the increasing
demand for higher education. Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is recognised and
accepted as an important mode for achieving enhanced access, developing skills,
capacity building, training, employability, life-long education and continuing education.
Open and Distance Learning has contributed significantly in development of education
structure of India. It provides avenues to those students who are not able to leave their
jobs or are not able to attend regular classes due to some reasons. Our distance
education system consists of one National Open University namely, Indira Gandhi
National Open University (IGNOU) and 14 State Open Universities. In addition, many
Central/State Universities also offer courses through distance mode. Expansion of ODL
is proposed to ensure that 10% of the enrolment takes place in the open and distance
learning institutions. There are however issues of quality in distance education, which
calls for reforming the ODL system. The Madhav Menon Committee has suggested
several changes in the implementation of ODL within the country.
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have recently received a great deal of public
attention. The MOOCs provide free access to cutting edge courses that could drive
down the cost of university-level education and potentially disrupt the existing models
of higher education. This has encouraged various higher education
institutes/universities to put their courses online by setting up open learning platforms.
Indian Universities need to establish the MOOCs program in Humanities, Social
Sciences, Sciences and Technologies. This should be in the wider contexts of open
education, online learning and the need to democratize education by disseminating as
wide as possible. Pedagogically the University need to develop contents of the study
programmes, Teaching learning materials, Videos etc. which can be relied on to
launch online courses. Developing collaborations with other institutions, depending on
20
the nature and contents of the courses, is an important part to increase their
outreach.
Learners’ motivation to participate in MOOCs is a significant area of interest to many
higher education institutions in stakeholders. Surveys conducted by researchers at Duke
University show that student motivations typically fell into one of four categories: a)
gain an understanding of the subject matter; b) for fun, entertainment, social
experience and intellectual stimulation; c) convenience, often in conjunction with
barriers to traditional education options; and d) to experience or explore online
education.
MOOCs have been criticized for adopting a knowledge transmission model; in essence,
they are considered to be technology-enriched traditional teacher-centered instruction.
Such systems offer an individualized experience in that they allow students to take
alternative routes through material and offer automated feedback. However, they do
not provide a social learning experience or one of being dealt with personally.
The issue of quality assurance of MOOCs is a big concern for HEIs. In most cases,
compared to other online courses, MOOCs lack structure, and rarely include the central
role of the instructor or teacher. They are largely self-directed learning, which is a very
different experience to formal education. The open nature of MOOCs creates a
population that is self selected to be engaged and passionate about this approach to
learning. MOOCs demand a certain level of digital literacy from the participants, which
has raised concerns on inclusivity and equality of access.
Questions for discussion
Should open courseware and MOOCs supplement/complement learning in
colleges and Universities?
Do the colleges and Universities in your State have connectivity either through
the NMEICT of NKN?
21
Would you suggest promoting MOOCs or specific online courses? If yes, could
you suggest in which disciplines online courses would be useful in your State.
What impediments are likely for implementing online courses and how can they
be resolved?
• To what extent MOOCs substitute for traditional institution based face to face
teaching learning process?
• What are the constraints to access MOOC courses in rural areas?
• How MOOCs can help expanding the learning opportunities or improve quality of
the existing courses?
Should DTH facility be given to students for anytime learning .
Should On-line testing should account for 20% of the grading.
22
VIII: Opportunities for Technology Enabled Learning
Today technology is all pervasive and it influences all domains of our daily life. The
developments in information and communication technology have changed the way
educational services are offered. Technology enables to take education and learning go
far beyond the confines of institutionalized instructions, structured study programmes
and teacher-cantered teaching learning process. ICT helps take learning beyond schools
and universities. E –learning is one of the most sought after modes of delivery of
educational services.
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and a series of international
conferences in the early 2000s emphasised on e-learning as a priority area of priority.
Today digital literacy and e-skills overcomes constraints of age, income and class.
Digital literacy (e-skills) has transcended barriers of age, class and income. The
government of India plans to connect institutions of higher education and research
and provide broadband connectivity at all levels of education and administration.
Technology has capacity to speed up the delivery efforts, standardize the quality of
delivery and the quality of services to be delivered to the recipient, provided that
recipient, provider, and delivery mechanism all are equally careful to the nuances of the
technology. The types of technologies and devices relied on vary widely between
regions and countries. Once countries relied on radios and DVD players and now mobile
phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, or video-gaming equipment etc are the devices
relied on for learning.
Keeping in view all benefits of the technology, the National Mission on Education
through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) was approved in 2009
to leverage the potential of ICT, in teaching and learning process for the benefit of all
23
the learners in Higher Education Institutions in “any time any where” mode. It has two
major components:
providing connectivity, along with provision for access devices, to institutions and
learners;
Content generation.
Nearly 404 universities have been provided 1Gbps connectivity or have been configured
under the scheme and 19,851 colleges have also been provided VPN connectivity. Over
250 courses have been completed and made available in National Programme on
Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) Phase I and another 996 courses in various
disciplines in engineering and science are being generated in Phase-II of NPTEL by IIT
Madras. The low cost access-cum-computing device Aakash 2 was launched on 11
November 2012. Using the A-View software developed under the NMEICT, several
programmes for teachers’ empowerment have been conducted for batches of 10,000
teachers at a time by IIT Bombay.
In the context India such technologies and devices will be relied on when infrastructure
for adopting such technologies are made available to those in the rural and remote
areas. In the area of higher education, we are supposed to upgrade the system to
capture the knowledge flow at world level. With a view to care local needs in the
context of changes taking place at global level, every college/University engaged in
imparting higher education needs to upgrade the facilities in the light of modern
technology which can enable learners in a big way. Of course the facilities like Wi-Fi and
computers the site of learning and teaching is essential. But again a question arises that
to which extent the large number of Students enrolled in the Colleges/ Universities run
by the government assistance (in sufficient) could avail the costly facility like Wi-Fi and
computers in the library, E library access, E-books, Digital library.

Questions for discussion
Do students and faculty understand the need and potential of TEL, if so how
they wish to integrate it for optimal use.
Are the necessary infrastructure available for transacting education through
technology
Has NPTEL, e-content of NMEICT or any other electronic content been used by
institutions and if so what are the advantages and disadvantages
Please list specifically how TEL can help colleges and universities in the
educational instruction and research
Share any best practices, if any
Should Skill development courses be technologically enabled?
Should Teachers training be made partly on-line?
What should be the time line for introduction of skill development courses-
Example: (Suppose the State has 500 colleges) Can we have 50 – by 2015
Academic Session, 100 – by 2016, 300 – by 2017, 500 – by 2018.

IX: Addressing Regional Disparity
Higher education expansion in India is also accompanied by disparities between
regions and groups. Ensuring access to higher education is critical to mobilising greater
participation thereby increasing the Gross Enrolment Ratio. In fact regional disparities
increased in the process of expansion of higher education in India. The variations in
GER (Gross Enrolment Ratio) are a good indicator of existing disparities in higher
education development among the states. The GER at national level increased from
8.97% in 2002-03 to 20.4% in 2011-12.
The inter-state disparities in enrolment (GER) increased over a period of time. In
2002-03 the GER varied between 5.0 per cent in Jammu and Kashmir and 28.7 per cent
in Chandigarh. In 2011-12 the variation in GER is between 8.4 per cent in Jharkhand
and 53.0 per cent in Chandigarh. This shows that the variations in GER increased from
23.7 percentage points in 2002-03 to 44.6 percentage points in 2011-12.
The increasing disparities in GER are due to varying rates of growth experienced
by different states and union territories. A close examination of the state level data will
indicate that larger gains in GER took place mainly in those states where private
institutions accounted for a good share of the total institutions and enrolments. The
exceptions are smaller states and union territories such as Delhi, Chandigarh. There is
also issue of over concentration of higher education institutions in southern states like
Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Since private unaided sector in particular play an
important role in enhancing GER in many states, issues of affordability and quality has
been a major concern.
Latest evidences also reconfirm that higher education participation is unevenly
distributed across the regions and states and among social groups and gender. While
Andhra Pradesh has highest number of colleges i.e. 48 per 100,000 population, it is 6, 7
and 8 per 100,000 population for Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. Similarly,
26
Chandigarh has highest GER (all categories) of 53%. But GER for SCs remains at 19.2.
While in GER in Gujarat is below national average, states share of total and SC GER is
17.6% and 18% respectively. Many of the north-eastern and eastern states have GER
below the national average. The GER varies between 8.3 per cent for rural females and
30.5 per cent for urban female and between 7.7 per cent for the Scheduled Tribe
population and around 45 per cent for the Christian population.
Two key issues emerge here: a) Continuing disparity in enrolment at state and
regional levels and among various social groups and females; b) Poor quality and lack
of adequate facilities in the existing institutions. Planning for eradication of disparities
requires well a targeted approach.
Questions for discussion
How can we address the issue of skewed access to higher education which will
reduce existing regional disparities and why have existing schemes failed to
resolve these gaps.
How to target the disadvantaged groups in the rural areas and among
economically poor households.?
Would incentive systems will be successful to attract students from disadvantaged
groups in the deprived regions and how?
Would targeting of states with low enrolment and changing criteria for fund
allocation be helpful?
How do you address the regional backwardness in education? Choose any one of
the following:
o Create more colleges
o Strengthen the existing colleges
o Create more polytechnics
o Strengthen existing polytechnics
Is RUSA adequate to address the regional disparity issue?
27
What measures can be taken to give special emphasis on tribal belts, hilly area
and NE?
Any new avenues of knowledge for coastal belts?
28
X: Bridging Gender and Social Gaps in Higher Education
There exists wide disparities among social groups in terms of their participation
in higher education. The twelfth plan reports that the variation in GER is 44.9 per cent
among the Christians while GER is only 7.7 per cent among the ST, 9.6 per cent among
Muslims, and 11.6 per cent among the SC. In all these instances the GER among the
females lags behind the males. India has been making efforts to increase the transition
from secondary to higher education levels. However, quite often pursuing education
becomes more costly for students from poor families because of the loss of perceived
earning when they pursue education instead of working for a salary. Studies show that
youth from marginalized community prefer to earn livelihood rather than continuing
higher education. India has introduced several incentive schemes including scholarships
to students from the disadvantaged background. These measures do not seem to be
sufficient to attract students from disadvantaged groups in colleges and universities and
more importantly to retain them.
For an inclusive higher education efforts should be made to eliminate gender
disparities and to significantly reduce urban-rural, inter-regional and inter-social group
disparities. This will call for a much larger facilitative and promotional role for the
central and state governments as well as the private sector in higher education towards
the hitherto marginalized sections of the society. Thus the major emphasis of the policy
should be on promoting inclusiveness so as to accommodate more students from the
marginalized sections into the ambit of higher education.
The gap between men and women in access to higher education has been
eliminated in a few states and is lower in urban areas. The education policy shall aim at
complete elimination of this gap, at least at the overall level. Diversify the higher
education provisions and programmes which can help in reducing the barriers to access
to higher education by socially deprived groups. Improving Access for Differently-abled
29
Students which will require improvement in basic infrastructure facilities to enable
access by the differently-abled students in all institutions of higher education; extension
of support facilities to such students; and increased support to teacher preparation to
handle their educational needs.
Questions for discussion
What further steps should be taken up to enhance participation of SC, ST and
Minority groups in post secondary higher and technical education to reap the
demographic dividend?
How should women’s participation and performance in higher education be
incentivized by providing safe and secure environment within and outside the
institutional campus?
What are the possible ways of formalizing traditional works into the higher
education? Since most of the minorities are involved in traditional works.
How affirmative action interventions should be revitalized to make them efficient
and effective?
How to ensure that students from deprived classes who pass out from school,
join colleges and complete studies?
How to ensure that the girls join colleges or polytechnic ?
What does improve girls’ participation ?
Hostel Scholarship Assurance of safety
Does introduction of earning while learning courses improve chances of girls
joining college ?
How to bridge the Gender Gaps – Put them in descending order in terms of
priority. Mention 1 if it is priority 1
1. Get girls to school by providing hostels.
2. Give them scholarship to find accommodation
3. Give them computing devices & connectivity to get over quality problem of
teaching.
4. Give them skill training so that they can earn while learning
5. Make flexible entry and exit.

XI - Linking Higher Education to Society
Since Independence, there have been manifold increases in the number of
universities, colleges, teachers and students. The growth, to a great extent, seems
unplanned and exhibits a weak linkage with employment and the outside world.
Various reports have shown that although jobs have been increasing in the
professional stream, degrees have been multiplying in general education mainly in
arts and humanities. The condition has become ironical. On the one hand, the
country does not have adequate manpower to carry out developmental work; on the
other hand there is a high incidence of unemployment among the educated youth.
The expansion and diversification of educational growth has been almost adverse to
the sectoral growth of jobs.
The role of institutions of higher education in societal development is
becoming increasing significant. In recent years, higher education has isolated itself
from the society and there is a need to re-establish and strengthen higher
education’s close linkages with the society. The Universities need to foster social
responsibility and engage in community outreach programmes.
Development of higher education is critical for achieving the goal of `Unnat
Bharat' and in developing capabilities of people to face the current and emerging
challenges. The unprecedented explosion of knowledge warrants higher education to
become more dynamic as never before, constantly entering into unchartered
domains. Despite constant efforts made by the Government in higher education, the
country is facing the challenges of greater opportunities of access to quality higher
education through greater investment in infrastructure and recruitment of adequate
and good quality faculty, promoting academic reforms, improving governance and
institutional restructuring with aims of improving quality and inclusion of hitherto
deprived communities. Higher education should carry the developmental agenda of
31
the country on its inner strength and resources. Besides improving access and
equity, it should improve the quality of teaching and learning in higher education
institutions.
Questions for discussion
In what ways, India should prioritize higher education agenda to enhance local
engagement by the universities?
What efforts should be made to promote R&D activities in higher education,
which helps regional manufacturing sectors?
In what ways, existing educational institutions should be revitalized to play vital
role in solving the skill requirements to meet the regional and local labor
markets?
Please share some working examples of community engagement by institutions
of higher learning

community, village ?
What do students feel that while doing their studies, they can contribute ?
After being employed – how do they contribute (Their idea)
Teachers should be assessed by
o Community

What is corrective action for them?
1) Remove 2) Retrain 3) Do not lift probation 4) Deny promotion 5) 1,2&3 together 6) 2 ,3 & 4 together 7) 1,2,3,4 together
Is not community welfare an essential part of higher education, especially in
rural areas?
32
XII: Developing the Best Teachers
The quality of instruction depends on the quality of teachers. The qualification
levels and pedagogical experience they have certainly influences the teaching learning
processes and learning outcomes. The length of academic preparation, the level and
depth of understanding of subject matter and the extent of pedagogical skills a teacher
possesses decide the learning outcomes in an institution. Unfortunately, a major share
of our teachers, especially in the colleges does not possess doctoral degrees.
One of the major constraints is to attract good students as teachers. Invariably
teaching profession is not high in the priority list when the graduates look for jobs. The
salary levels and facilities provided to the teachers, although increased in the recent
past, are less attractive compared to other sectors. Creation of a pool of brightest
students is important in the sense that they will ultimately make improvements in
teaching learning process. The UGC is funding a variety of programmes such as
provision for awards, scholarships, facilities to participate in conferences etc. to attract
and retain intelligent, meritorious and brightest students in academic profession.
After their joining in the teaching profession, they need to be inducted effectively
and oriented towards research and teaching. Apart from the off-campus induction
process, it will be a good in-house practice if the young and fresh teachers can observe
the class teaching of senior and best teachers being in apprenticeship for further
cognitive and pedagogical development. The process of enhancing their knowledge of
Content, Pedagogy and the Technology especially the knowledge of ICT is essential
and need to continue as an integral part of the capacity development of teachers.
Extensive use of ICT and audio-visuals are the need of the day when students are more
techno-savvy than the teachers.
The research should be an equally important dimension to be emphasized since
research improves the level of teaching and academic credibility of the teacher. It is
33
only through R &D activities, that teachers can update their knowledge, bring more
clarity in their concepts, fly at higher level of teaching and reflect on through action
research. The global initiative to get faculty from best universities to come and teach
for a term is a commendable idea, but practical problems cannot be overlooked.
Scholars teaching abroad are hardly accustomed to the realities of India. However,
artificial transplantation of foreign methods of teaching without addressing the
requirements of ground reality is bound to be counterproductive.
Questions for discussion
What strategies can be in place to attract the best from the university sector to
teaching profession?
How could support system for research and academic development be provided?
What incentives could be provided to promote research among teachers of
higher education institutions?
Whether the scheme of National Mission on Teachers & Teaching is adequate or
should it be enhanced with some additional features and what are they?
What percentage of academic leadership training should be online?
What percentage of Pedagogical training should be online?
What percentage of Professional course training – should be online?
What is the role of industry experts as teachers?
Is not Academic leadership course essential for all VCs and principals?
How can teachers be given exposure on a timely or constant basis to new
knowledge being developed worldwide in their domain?
Is not counselling an essential role of teachers also?
34
XIII: Sustaining Student Support Systems in Higher Education
India is home to the world’s youngest population—with over 600 million below the age
of 25. If the government’s policy prescriptions of expanding access in higher education
and increasing enrollments to the level of the developed world continue, our country
will have the world’s largest student population. As we approach an era of mass
provision of higher education, and a majority of the young learners are likely to be first
generation, the scale and enormity of this challenge needs to be carefully envisioned.
Envisioning student support systems need to be a critical element of policy innovation.
While the focus has been on physical provision of infrastructure such as canteen,
common-room, drinking water and counseling centers etc. until the XI Plan, in the XII
Plan, student loans have been spoken about. Student loans are becoming increasingly
popular, these also cannot be seen as a reliable method of financing higher education
on a large scale. The adverse effects of student loans on students’ attitudes and
approach towards higher education and the values that these loans impart, besides its
accentuating role in commercialization of higher education, need to be carefully
examined before further expanding loan programmes.
Besides, in terms of the prevailing culture of institutional practice students are handled
by “Dean Students Welfare” within Universities—an office that requires itself to be
sensitized on the diversity and changes in student needs. While this emphasis on
welfare, support, and physical infrastructure needs to be sustained, the shift from the
top-down approach of planning to integrate student voice as an element of policy
thinking is urgent. Students need to be envisioned not just as passive recipients of
policy transfers, rather as stakeholders with a voice. Students are at the heart of higher
education system and beyond the support system they should be treated as important
stakeholders in all decision making processes.
The student support system in a university requires good Infrastructure such as
common room and recreation facilities, and counseling centers, facilities for Student
35
Grievance Redress, student assistance in terms of financial needs—loans on entry,
short-term loans, innovation funds/awards and sustaining inclusiveness—providing for
diverse learning needs of students from disadvantaged social backgrounds.
Several schemes of students financial assistance are being implemented at Central and
State levels. But the question is have they really served the intended objectives. Some
critical views are invited on the existing schemes and what changes will improve the
quality of financial support systems for our students so that every aspiring learner can
enter HE.
Questions for discussion
Should there be differential income slabs for existing student financial assistance
schemes?
Apart from affirmative scholarship, a need based scholarship should be linked up
to what kind of earning per family.
o Rs.1 lakh & below
o Rs.1 lakh to 1.5 lakh
o Rs.1.5 lakh to 2 lakh
o Rs.2 lakh to 2.5 lakh
Has the interest loan subsidy scheme helped the poorest of poor in accessing
higher education? If not , what changes need to be effected?
Open Universities have student support services at local levels, how can local
bodies and other similar agencies help to improve services offered at these
centres?
What type of infrastructural facilities to be provided to enhance interaction
among students and make them a more inclusive group?
What type of support will enhance learning opportunities for students especially
from disadvantaged groups? Can support be interlinked with skill education?
Will universal soft loan scheme help students as universal scholarship is not
possible?
36
Is interest subsidy of 5% adequate?
Do you agree that it is not possible to give scholarship to everyone, however
meritorious students should not be denied access to higher education.
What is the minimum percentage it should be linked upto.
Graduation:
o Below 60%
o Minimum 60%
o Minimum 65%
o Minimum 70%
o Minimum 75%
Post Graduation
o Minimum 50%
o Minimum 55%
o Minimum 60%
o Minimum 65%
37
XIV: Promoting Cultural Integration through Language
Cultural integration is a form of cultural exchange in which one group assumes
the beliefs, practices and rituals of another group without sacrificing the characteristics
of its own culture. While cultural syncretism carries a negative connotation, cultural
integration is generally looked upon as positive because nothing is lost. From this
perspective, cultural integration is a healthy intermingling of the beliefs and rituals of
two unique cultures. The factors that affect the process of Cultural Integration include
future media technologies, actions of governments, the global economy, rise of global
media networks and actions of Trans National Corporations. In all of these the role of
language is of primary importance. If language, on the one hand, structures our
thought process, it liberates us and propels us into unexplored territories of knowledge
and imagination, on the other.
We need to locate language education programmes in a multilingual perspective.
Multilingualism is a natural phenomenon that relates positively to cognitive flexibility
and scholastic achievement. What is critical is that curriculum makers, textbook writers,
teachers and parents start appreciating the importance of multilingualism, which
sensitizes the learners to the cultural and linguistic diversity around them and
encourages them to use it as a resource for their progress and overall growth. The
special features and contexts of the languages that fall under the rubric ‘other’ for a
learner are kept in mind while devising pedagogy for teaching and learning.
One must focus attention to the social, cultural, and historical contexts of minor,
minority, tribal, and endangered languages. These languages are repositories of rich
cultural traditions and knowledge systems and every effort needs to be made to
resuscitate and rejuvenate them. This can be done only by making provisions for them
in the higher education framework.
38
The underprivileged speakers of minor, minority, and tribal languages often
suffer severe linguistic deprivation. It is important for us to realize that the major
languages of this country, including English, can flourish only in the company of and not
at the cost of minor languages. The ideological position that the development of one
language also helps in the development of other languages leads one to expect that the
development of even some of the languages could provide a marked impetus to the
rest of the languages in the case of the linguistically diverse tribal areas, and spur the
speech communities to consciously strive in that direction. This endeavor should lead to
further the status of these minor, minority, and tribal languages by allocation of new
communicative role(s) and functions, especially in the domain of education at all levels
and mass media and thereby lead to more supportive acquisition planning. Many
languages are becoming endangered and some have actually disappeared from the
Indian linguistic scene despite our claims to multilingualism and maintenance. Every
time we lose a language, a whole literary and cultural tradition is likely to be erased.
Multilingualism is the essence of the Indian identity. Even the so-called ‘monolingual’ in
a remote village often possesses a verbal repertoire that equips it to function
adequately over a large number of communicative encounters. Indeed, the multiplicity
of Indian voices interacts with each other in the Indian linguistic and sociolinguistic
matrix, which is built on a variety of shared linguistic and sociolinguistic features.
Questions for discussion
Should Universities include foundation courses on cultural integration
How can inter-linkages between education, culture and language be brought
about in HE institutions
How do we encourage cultural exchange between students especially in
situations they belong to different language groups and regions?
39
Do you think that development of regional and national Indological centers help
preserve the vast repertoire of languages of various regions?
Should Indology Studies be a part of curriculum?
How can cultural integration take place through language?
Should all universities have essential language departments with focus on dying
or extinct languages?
40
XV. Meaning Partnership with Private sector
Expansion, inclusion and rapid improvement in quality throughout higher and
technical education system by way of enhancing public spending, encouraging private
partnership and initiating long-overdue reforms form the core of various initiatives for
higher education. Higher education cannot sustain only through public funding. Given a
massive requirement, the public resources may not be sufficient to meet the ever-
increasing demand for quality higher education and that our policy and regulatory
framework should provide for necessary enabling framework to attract private
investment and Public Private Partnership (PPP) in higher and technical education
sector. Further, PPP, besides meeting the wide resource gaps, can also serve as an
instrument for resource-use efficiency, improvement in service delivery and promotion
of excellence. Besides supplementing public investments and reducing dependence on
public exchequer for provisioning of quality public services, PPP also brings about the
following efficiency gains:
Promoting cost-effectiveness through risk sharing and efficient use of resources
leading to higher productivity and optimal risk allocation;
Enhancing access to modern technology leading to better project design,
implementation, operations and management;
Promoting accountability through clear customer focus, which, in turn, results in
accelerated & improved delivery of quality public service;
Promoting institutional autonomy by reducing dependence on public funds and in
the process significantly reducing external interference in decision making, as it
empowers public institutions by making then financially self-sustaining and
independent.
Private sector participation should ensure adherence to government policies with
respect to reservation and affirmative action. Importantly, institutions established under
41
PPP mode would follow means blind admission process thereby ensuring that no one is
denied admission due to inability to afford cost of education. Liberal scholarship
provisions, students loan and interest subsidy scheme may be thought of as cushion to
build private partnership in higher education. It needs to be noted that partnership with
private sector does not mean privatisation, commercialisation and debasement of
education. Rather, it explore possibilities of attracting private investment and
participation in decision making within the overall framework of education being merit
good, while government continues to be responsible for ensuring quality higher and
technical education to all. Thus, under the PPP mode, the cherished national objectives
of excellence, social justice, inclusion as well as removal of gender, regional and social
group disparities will continue to be the guiding principles. What it does mean is that
the Policy Instruments of the Government require to be modified from the present role
of funding and controlling to assuming a much wider role of being an enabler,
facilitator, financier and regulator.
It is against this background that higher education institutions need a shift in policy
towards private sector participation in a manner that broad objectives of expansion,
inclusion and quality are maintained.
While public private partnerships in higher education have been pursued as a strategy,
not many have shown successful results. Hence, the PPP models need to be revisited so
as to allow more meaningful collaborations. A critical analysis of PPP in HE , the existing
legal provisions and which viable models are possible need to carried out.
Questions for discussion
Why has PPP models not been so effective in education sector
Can there be more role for the private sector except providing ancillary
services
42
Would you suggest changes in the “ not for profit” policy with safeguards for
better PPP arrangements
Is PPP only relevant to technical/ professional education and not for general
education
Are there good working models of PPP in higher education which can be
replicated
What should be done in partnership with Private Sector ?
1) Construction of buildings
2) Maintenance of Building
3) Maintenance of College
4) Maintenance of Labs
5) 1 & 2 both
6)1 & 3 both
6)2 7) 1 & 4 both
What changes among the following is acceptable?( You can tick more than 1)
Management of the facility.
Takeover of the colleges by Trusts/Corporate entities under CSR
Corporate to open colleges/universities as non-profits.
Private sector brings in best professors/adjunct professors – sits in the
Governing body.
43
XVI. Financing of higher education
Public funding has its own limitations and constraints in a diverse and vast nation
leading to resources being spread thinly if the objective of massive expansion in enrolment
with equity is to be fulfilled. Public funding cannot keep pace with rapidly rising costs of higher
education. The expansion of student numbers has presented a major challenge which
combined with the goal of inclusivity has aimed to provide access to all sections and thereby
operate a highly subsidized tertiary education. In financial terms, this has become an
unsustainable model. Traditionally, education has been seen as a public good, contributing to
society through educating citizens, improving human capital, and boosting economic
development. There is an increasing pressure to view higher education as private good,
largely benefiting individuals, with the implication that academic institutions, and their
students, should pay a significant part of the cost of higher education. Funding shortages due
to “massification” have also meant that higher education system and institutions are
increasingly responsible for generating larger percentages of their own revenue.
The future of financing education cannot be merely an extension of the present but has
to be shaped by new realities, such as the expected massive growth in enrolment to promote
the demographic dividend, new mechanisms in cost-sharing that reduces burden on the
student and at the same time does not solely rely on the Government as provider, emergence
and growth of different types of private and public education providers, innovations in modes
of delivery of education etc. Consistent with these realities, new and flexible ways of tackling
financing issues in education need to be initiated.
The Approach paper to the XII Plan mentions that about 18 per cent of all
government education spending or about 1.12 percentage of GDP is spent on higher
education today. This should be raised to 25 percent and 1.5 per cent respectively. An
increase of 0.38 per cent of GDP means an additional allocation of about Rs.25, 000
44
crore to higher education for the Centre and the States taken together. It has been
repeatedly reiterated that we spend at least six per cent of GDP to education
There should be a proper sharing of responsibilities in funding higher education
in India between the union (central) and state governments. While the central
government directly or indirectly through the UGC funds completely the central
universities, only the development expenditure of state universities and colleges is
funded by the union government.
Since higher education produces a wide set of social benefits to the whole
society, there is no justification to expect the higher education institutions to
significantly rely upon student fees. Earlier committees have suggested to allow these
institutions to generate about 20 per cent of the budget requirements through student
fee and other sources. The CABE committee (2005) has suggested that this 20 per
cent may be seen as an upper limit so that equity considerations of higher education
are not traded off.
Strong higher education systems are developed in advanced regions of the world
with the liberal funding by the state and equally liberal funding by the society at large,
specifically through donations and endowments from the corporate sector and
individuals, including alumni. Student contributions in terms of fees constitute relatively
a minor source of funds. It is necessary to develop a framework in India that
promotes this missing source of funds – the non-state and non-student sector. Besides,
linking some of the provisions of the Corporate Social Responsibility Act specifically to
higher education sector, innovative measures to promote individual and corporate
donations and endowments to higher education need to be searched for. A proper
system of matching grants to higher education institutions needs to be put in place.
45
Questions for discussion
What are the innovative ways of financing HE?
When States not able to increase their share of funding education and how can
the situation be remedied?
How can Corporate sector participation help mitigate problems of financing
higher education and what are the ways that they can participate?
Is it desirable to have a variable Student fee structure?
Any other suggestions that can resolve issues of financing higher education
Should all educational loans provide interest subsidy of 5% and moratorium of 1
year?
If additional education is taken, should it provide rolling moratorium and
additional loan?
Should each institution should cover 1% meritorious students and 1% needy
students not covered by any scholarship by Alumni contribution, fund raising.
Should each institution raise Alumni fund and local contribution.
46
XVII. Internationalisation of higher education
Globalization has resulted in greater cross border higher education. However,
there is a need for a better policy that encourages collaborations, student faculty
mobility etc. Internationalisation has two forms: a conventional one, and a modern
one. The conventional one focused on core academic values, while the modern one
tends to focus primarily on education in the framework of international trade, with
export/import and economic gains as the operative parts. The conventional one
focuses more on student mobility and to some extent faculty mobility as a strategy,
while under the modern one, business models are formulated that includes not only
student and faculty mobility, but also institutional mobility and programme mobility – all
with a primary view to make economic gains. It is necessary that we focus mainly on
the former model aiming at enrichment of quality in teaching, research and intellectual
environment in the universities that result in better knowledge production and
dissemination.
It may be good to adopt a selective purposive approach by identifying a few high
quality select institutions abroad and invite them to come to India, to share teaching
and research with Indian students and faculty. Also, such institutions need to be
provided a conductive atmosphere for these institutions to set up campuses and offer
stand-alone or joint degree programmes.
While all Indian institutions of higher education may be encouraged, it may be good to
identify some of the best institutions in the country to collaborate with selected foreign
institutions in such programmes. The Indian institutions may be provided additional
required support in this regard, to facilitate, inter alia, student and faculty exchanges.
In the same way, not all, some of the potentially high quality Indian institutions may be
47
encouraged to set up campuses abroad and offer programmes in which India has a
comparative advantage.
Measures have to be developed to attract good talented students from abroad into our
university campuses. Merit may have to be the prime concern in this regard. If
necessary, scholarships may be provided to such talented students. Differential fee
policies (for foreign students) may have to be carefully formulated. There is no
justification for charging even the foreign students above 100 per cent cost of their
education. It is necessary to see that foreign students are not viewed as a revenue
generating source, but as a source of enhanced learning environment. Indian
universities with sizeable number of foreign students also need to be supported with
additional resources to have good residential facilities for foreign students.
In the whole area of internationalization, care has to be taken
a. that academic considerations are not displaced by commercial interests
b. to balance domestic demand and demand from foreign students.
c. to ensure strong mechanism of accreditation and quality assurance
d. to protect Indian institutors of higher education from unhealthy and unfair
competition from foreign universities
e. to protect, promote and nurture Indian values from possible invasion of
foreign educational enterprises, with their curriculum and associated values
and practices.
Questions for discussion
Please suggest strategies for cross border higher education
How can we encourage foreign education providers?
48
Can improving infrastructural facilities on university campuses such as student
facilitation centres, international student’s hostels, faculty guest houses help to
attract more foreign students
Suggest changes in the student faculty exchange programmes and
institutional/research collaborations
Suggest ways by which educational services can be exported
Which state universities can take in 10% international students?
Do they have adequate ranking and diversity etc.?
Which universities should try to get international students in 5 years time?
Should these universities get Global Initiative in Academic Network (GIAN)
scholars/teachers?

XVIII: Engagement with industry to link education to employability
India represents a typical case of over-supply of higher education graduates on
the one hand and non-availability of prospective employees in the production sector.
The basis for such a mismatch is rooted in the differences between the skills
imparted and the skills required in the labor market. The universities and higher
education institutions operate independently with very little scope for mutual
interactions and engagements.
The realization on wide gaps in ‘learning’ further extended to ‘Employability Skills’
in the last decade. Employability of our students is a matter of concern. The industry
has been rather disappointed with the kind of graduates emerging from our Education
particularly for want of the right kind of employability skills. Though India has one of
the largest education systems in the world, employability of the graduates is often
quoted as one of the biggest challenges the country faces today
The huge gap between the supply of educated and also employable human
resource and its demand by labor market in the country is indeed an early warning
signal. As per a NASSCOM report only one fourth of India’s engineering graduates and
only 10% of its other graduates are employable. Another recent study by PurpleLeap
reveals that one third of graduates from the Tier II, III and IV engineering colleges are
not employable even after interventional training; The number of readily employable
graduates in Tier II, III and IV colleges equal the number of the total talent pool in tier
I engineering colleges which (IITs and IISc)) jointly contribute to less than 1% of the
engineering graduates in the country. On a scale of 10 the gap between the
employability of technical graduates between Tier I and Tier II cities is worrisome. This
gap is almost 50% for most of the high growth tech sectors in the country. The
situation is far worse in case of graduates from other streams. As per the India Labor
50
Report only about 46 percent of the graduate and above workers in India are regularly
employed.
At the other end of the spectrum is the need for greater investment in research.
Industry academia linkages are essential to meet both the ends of increasing
employability quotient as well as research needs. While we have various efforts in this
direction, these have not fructified as expected. We need to find out how and what is
needed for a more fruitful partnering.
Questions for discussions
Should higher education institutions be oriented to impart skills required by the
industry?
How can institutions of higher education link with industry to change study
programmes and improve employability of its graduates?
How can Industry academia linkages help for start ups and entrepreneurial
ventures
How can Industry orient students to develop entrepreneurial skills
Should Industry representatives be included in the governing bodies of
Universities/ colleges
How can industry help in framing industry relevant courses for enhancing
student employability?
How can Region and sector specific distinct skill profiles and Institutional Profiles
be created and matched? How can we ensure that Agriculture and traditional
arts and crafts industry/sector are not ignored?
51
XIX: Promoting Research and Innovation
The progress of the nation depends on its sustained growth of education and
research in science and technology. To meet the objective, our research should bear
international comparison in terms of standards of attainment. This will happen, when
we determine our priorities and programmes in education and research on the basis of
`indigenous' thinking and needs, and not follow the fashion set by other countries.
The development of science must derive its nourishment' from our cultural heritage
and internal resource base. The process of scientific attitude and creative thinking
should begin from the earliest stage of school education. The science teaching at the
school level suffers from lack of academic rigor and infrastructure constraints.
Furthermore, a major weakness of Indian education and research is the relatively
very small part played by the universities in the sum total of Indian research. Indian
universities are more teaching centered. There is need for teachers and students to
perform more and more research work and of better quality. The proliferation of
private universities has further deepened the teaching function of the universities.
Many of them do have neither facilities nor orientation to undertake and carry out
research.
The UGC scheme of assisting teachers, research workers, and laboratory
technicians is inadequate and needs to be up-scaled and re-strategized. The
universities should prioritize pure (basic) research, leaving applied research and
development in all branches of science to other institutions. The private agencies
should also devote more funds for research in the university system and share the cost
of R&D with public sector.
The government can take several steps to encourage research and innovations in
the universities. Promotion of research in liberal arts and social sciences, including
inter-disciplinary research is significant too. The government support is needed to
creative conducive conditions to carry out research. The government needs to increase
52
its allocations for Rand D activities. At the institutional level, there is a need to link
teaching with research. The government needs to invest in faculty development and
provide incentives for research, promote collaborative efforts between institutions in
research.
Questions for discussions
• In what ways, aptitude for research and innovation should be developed in
students and faculty members?
• What measures are needed to develop research capabilities of teachers and
students?
• In what ways, research agenda should be prioritized at the higher education
level?
• How private agencies can be encouraged and motivated to invest funds in
university research and innovation activities?
• Which of the following Strategies need to pursued for promoting research &
innovation
Outcome based research financing.
Liberal research grants for both social sciences and basic sciences.
Setting up Incubation Centers with Seed Money to do innovative research
Research leading to creation of intellectual property.
Setting up Research Parks in central educational institutions.
Joint appointments of faculty – enabling researchers to teach and
teachers to engage in research.
Inter-disciplinary research – Institutions must come together for creating
new knowledge at the intersections of existing disciplines.
How can we make India become a favoured destination for R&D projects. How
can we explore getting grants from abroad for R&D?
Do we need to reconsider setting up Innovation Universities?

XX. New Knowledge
A knowledge economy is ability to create and disseminate knowledge and use it
for economic growth and improved standard of living. It is important is to understand
the characteristics and the dynamics of knowledge economy and chart out a path of
economic development of India in which knowledge management assumes a key role.
Knowledge economies have become quite vulnerable and exposed to external forces
and need internal mechanisms to be created to exploit opportunities and mitigate
threats.
In knowledge economy, therefore, human resource endowed with education and
skill is considered important as knowledge can only be produced by human resources
who can then transform knowledge into tangible products- technology and goods and
services – for the market. A country, therefore, rich in educated and skilled workforce
has great potentials to produce, disseminate, adapt knowledge to enhance growth. It is
for this reason that educated youth in the age group 18-24 years is an important index
of knowledge economy for reaping the benefits of knowledge. Changing demographic
composition worldwide has altered the paradigm of development in terms of centre and
periphery debate in favour of developing countries, notably India and China, with high
number (if not proportion) of highly educated youth in total population.
Highly endowed human resource of a country, however, is no guarantee of the
economic development of a nation. The reason is that educated and skilled human
resource, so far not so mobile, has become too mobile and hence the use of the human
resources may not be specific to the country of origin. The knowledge may be produced
and used by countries which can attract talent. Emerging global labour market has
enabled easier access to expertise and skills and knowledge embedded in professionals,
on the one hand and produced threats of growing brain drain and loss of advanced
human capital. Many developing countries, including India, suffer from this dichotomy
of factor endowment and its use in knowledge economy.
54
The ICT revolution added an important dimension to the knowledge economy.
With ICT revolution has the mobility of professionals become irrelevant or even more
important – diminishing or increasing the asymmetry? A country which is digitalizing
and putting IT for various uses and is developing enhanced networking has greater
potentials by attracting talents to transform information to knowledge and further
increase the usefulness of knowledge by converting it into exchangeable product. Thus
wherever information networking is strong and professionals have this important tool,
they are much better placed to use networking in knowledge production. The threat of
knowledge divide in this regard emanates from digital divide. Hence ICT adds an
important dimension to the management of knowledge economy by enhancing the
potentials of economy to produce and use knowledge by educated and skilled human
resources particularly the professionals.
Knowledge economy has an important dimension of commercialization and
marketing. It is argued that protection of knowledge will provide an incentive for the
producers of knowledge to produce. The ‘knowledge’ or ‘innovation’ translated into a
tangible good or ‘product’ that is protected also carries a price which can be charged
from the user of knowledge. Innovation is thus considered a critical pillar of knowledge
economy. It means that countries will have to make effort to transform its implicit
knowledge i.e., knowledge embodied in brains into an explicit knowledge i.e., in forms
in which it can be traded.
Knowledge economies have given rise to interdependence. It is difficult to live in
isolation. Hence a country that understands its dynamics should be able to manage
knowledge economy in its favour through appropriate strategies. The
internationalization of higher education – with mobility of teachers, scientists, students,
programmes, educational institutions and collaboration and networking needs to be
strategically promoted with top class quality institutions in a country to retain and
attract talents.
55
We are living in a dynamic knowledge based society. Newer technologies and
challenges are seeing the birth of new areas of study. Our higher education institutions
must identify the new domains of knowledge in the global scenario and build up their
capacities to meet this need.
Questions for discussion
How can we retain our soft power in the global comity of nations?
How the higher education institutions position themselves to produce new
knowledge and use it to the best advantage of the country?
How do we map continuous/ upcoming new knowledge across the world in all
spheres of education and at what stage and how should they be integrated to
our syllabus?
