Vimal Vidushy

Abstract :

As knowledge replaces physical capital as major source of present and future wealth, higher education has come to occupy centre stage in the development strategies of countries the world over. The Indian government has approved the Foreign Education Providers (Regulatory) Bill (2010) that will allow foreign universities to open anches in India. In this context, in my present paper, I have tried to highlight the access to higher education in India and to understand the governance of higher education in India. The higher education system in India is influenced by political ideologies. Higher education being the joint responsibility of both the Central and the State governments, the state/provincial governments’ shares a lion’s share of about 80 per cent and to that extent influence higher education. The impact of globalization and the development of knowledge–based economy have caused much dramatic change to the character and functions of higher education in India.
