INTRODUCTION
Our university system is, in many parts, in a state of disrepair.... In almost half India exhibits a
great deal of confidence in its technological capabilities and higher education. While the self-
confidence of a society is key to building a better future, misplaced confidence often leads to
ruin. It is important to distinguish among various levels of knowledge. For example, owning,
driving, repairing, making, designing a car, and inventing a new mode of transportation, require
successively higher orders of knowledge. A layman may ignore these distinctions, whereas the
education system and the policy makers cannot. Use of the same aircraft by Air India and Delta
Airlines, or the same computers and operating systems for their work by the employees of
Infosys and Microsoft does not make the knowledge base of the Indian workforce comparable
to that found in the developed, or many of the developing, countries. Beyond the shared
operating or ―driving‖ level of knowledge, their differences become painfully obvious. India
has not yet designed and manufactured a commercially successful car or locomotive, much less
an airliner, computer, or operating system, or introduced a new medical treatment. One has to
look long and hard for Indian inventions.

The number of higher education institutions and
enrollment continue to grow faster than the population. In 2010, India had 201 universities, 130
deemed universities and 16,885 colleges where 9.954 million students are taught by 457
thousand The web site of the Department of Higher Education in the Ministry of Human
Resource Development in the Government of India proclaims: ―India has one of the largest
higher education system in the world.‖
While the level and growth of these numbers are impressive, the quality of this education
remains uncertain. Measures of quality are difficult to come by. India is supposed to do well in
technical education and Since education helps develop the minds of the young, the key input to
quality education is the availability of high quality intellects to teach—instruct, expose, explore,
innovate, inspire—the students. To achieve this end, colleges must attract thoughtful, creative,
and fearless minds from each year‘s cohort to careers in education. With an abundance of talent
in teaching and scholarship, a culture of innovation may be built that will serve as a basis for a
vibrant economy, society, and polity. Innovation and creativity have served as the engin I
