Dr. Monalisa Bal

Abstract :

The Make–in–India campaign is a significant initiative to align India’s manufacturing sector into the Global Value Chain by encouraging Public Private Partnership (PPP), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflow, Joint Ventures (JV) and improving Ease in Doing Business (EDB). Higher education will play a critical role in realizing this significant initiative as it would scale up Research, Quality and Global connect with top quality foreign universities. The paper takes a kaleidoscopic overview of government’s higher education policy and its impact in augmenting Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) & Quality. While tracing India’s technological options to build manufacturing base through Transfer of Technology (TOT) as the predominant mode, the paper laments the lack of growth in indigenous R&D, Quality of research publication and patents granted. It identifies major policy initiatives like FDI, Industry–Academia collaboration, PPP and Allocation adequacy as the way forward
