Historically India has been a world leader in higher learning. Our universities like Nalanda and Takshashila were foremost learning centers of the world. The profound knowledge of these centres attracted scholars from across the world. After these seats of learning ceased to exist, great universities of the western world came into being, marking the shift in knowledge production and dissemination from the East to the West.

We need to restore our rightful place and make our universities and colleges producers of knowledge for the world. In this endeavour, the government is committed to ensuring that our higher education institutions achieve the highest levels of global excellence in teaching and research. To start with, it is proposed to provide an enabling regulatory architecture to tenpublic and private institutions each to emerge as world-class Teaching and Research Institution. They would be facilitated by giving autonomy on academic, administrative and financial matters. It will enable meritorious and talented students of India and abroad, irrespective of their financial status, to realize their dreams and enroll for getting highest quality knowledge, taught by renowned global knowledge providers.

The above initiative is the beginning of our journey to restore the original mandate of higher education regulators, as facilitators and guides, driven by norms of self-disclosure and transparency, instead of top-down command and control and micromanagement, in the quest to achieve world-class standards in all colleges and universities. This would enable our universities to become leading global centers of knowledge production.

The aim is seek comments /views/suggestions from citizens on following documents:

i. Policy on Establishment of World Class Institutions
ii. UGC (Declaration of Government Educational Institutions as World Class Institutions) Guidelines, 2016
iii. UGC (World Class Institutions Deemed to be Universities) Regulations, 2016

You can share your Comments/Views/Suggestions on Draft Guidelines and Regulations for establishment of World Class Institutions by 28.10.2016.

UGC policies should should be more of global standards like how rules of USA colleges and their credit system are. For example, many institutions in USA ask for US.equivalence certificate from organizations like WES, http://www.wes.org/ for calculating the indian system credits which have cost of around Rs. 16,000/- for each person. Imagine how many students are going to usa and how much they have to spend since we dont have common system across the different colleges.

India produces the greatest minds in the entire world.But brain drain kills our development.For example,USA's F-22,THE DEADLIEST jet fighter in world uses the engine designed by an 'Indian'.This guy applied twice for DRDO but failed the exam.Then Lockheed Martin took him for his designs which he made during college.Though he failed in DRDO exam, his designs are in fact really second to none.We need to look beyond exams and academics that what one is actually made of and encourage research here.

What is required here is that there should be proper faculty and infrastructure not only in the institution but also around it. This must be done in the existing institutions first before setting up new ones. Take IIT Patna for example where you can see weeds growing I the entire campus or IIM Bodhgaya where there are no faculties, teaching is done in two small rooms and there are no facilities even to suit the name of IIM. The students can boast only for IIM not for any sort of knowledge.

2/2 - Promote the development of education-corporate bond as mentioned above and ask them to work for rural development, this would help two-fold (helps gain practical exposure for students and also boost the infra sector), this can be better implemented in the form of a competition. - Govt. should develop a pool of students for development of future critical assets by making them understand how it works, these students can be awarded govt. contracts (strictly only for Research scholars)

Education is something which our country has not given much importance to, thanks to the priority to the mediocre. No wonder, our country is lagging behind in global rankings. A few suggestions which can be implemented immediately; - Improve research facilities and give a lot of importance to R&D right from the college level by increasing the stipend. - Have the corporates collaborate with the edu institutions and ask the them to focus more on the practical aspect rather than theory 1/2
