Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intension, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skilful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.” - By Willa A. Foster By 2030, India will be amongst the youngest nations in the world. With nearly 140 million people in the collegegoing age group, one in every four graduates in the world will be a product of the Indian higher education system. In 2030, India will be the pioneers of a higher education model that is not just the best in the world, but the best for the world, delivering social, economic and intellectual value par excellence. In order to realize the goals we envision for 2030, a transformative and innovative approach would be required across all the levers of higher education: from curricula and pedagogy to the use of technology to partnerships, governance and funding. Making rapid progress over the next decade would require a committed and concerted effort from all stakeholders involved i.e. academia, industry, and Government. In this context the authors would like to make an attempt in understanding as to what would be the best in higher education system and the role of the status of autonomy to HEIs. The data for the study is collected through personal interviews and questionnaire being executed to the faculty of both autonomous and nonautonomous colleges. A secondary source such as journals, magazines and websites was extensively used in analyzing the role of autonomous status in bringing the best in Higher Education so as to lead the global economy in the field of education. It is felt that one of the major changes that need to be best is internationalization of higher education in India i.e. we need to work on encouraging student mobility, enhancing quality and improving the quality and quantity of research. It is felt that higher education has a unique role to play in preparing the torch bearers of tomorrow who will endeavor in different fields – from medicine to engineering, teaching, administration, business, politics and social service – to lead our nation to the high tables of global power and to achieve this it is time for bringing the best in higher education in India.
