The role of institutions of higher education in societal development is becoming increasing significant. In recent years, higher education has isolated itself from the society and there is a need to re-establish and strengthen higher education’s close linkages with the society. How can Universities foster social responsibility and engage in community outreach programmes. Sharing some working examples would also be a useful input.

First thing that surely needed is to improve basic education standard in Govt schools, Colleges and Universities. If possible Govt should create rule policy for all Govt employees to send their children to Govt schools, and it shouldnt be optional rule, every employee has to follow it. This will surely improve the education system.

Society is the primary beneficiary of higher education institutions. Incidentally, institutions at large remained dormant as long as connection with the society is concerned. Societal needs such as value education, transparency, accountability can be fulfilled by higher education institutions when they become watchdog and conduct researches related to these elements, conduct debate among public on such issues, organise exhibitions on such issues along with the researched data, etc.

No teacher in good private schools devote time on mid-day meal. Let us focus on quality education rather than enrollment only, no more mixing food security and quality education. Government schools should be brought at per with good private schools in terms of same quality syllabus, standard of text books. There should be linkage with better payment of teacher and academic achievement of her or his students. DISE should be revised to capture such linkages and their improvement effect.

Sociazation is important then mere education. Humanitarian valus should be taught. Social scientists role is totally ignored in our country. Make use of them. Social networking is an excellant model for developing a good social fabric. Why not we use the socialogists for modelling and framing the social web of student community?

Quality of education in Government schools must become on par with private schools. Only then this "buying" of education mentality will stop in India. Education is NOT a comodity to buy. In today's India any degree can be "bought" with money. There is no value addition to the society with such bought degrees. It only increases greed and corruption in the society. Every school must make english and sanskrit mandatory along with their mother tongue. Sanskrit must be made our national language.
