  • Higher Education in India: Vision 2030
    Higher Education in India: Vision 2030 FICCI Higher Education Summit 2013 Contents ► Foreword ► Perspective 2030: recounting two decades of transformation in higher education ► Vision 2030: towards a brave new world of higher education ► Journey 2030: the road to realise the vision ► Annexure: the current state of higher education in India ► Glossary ► Acknowledgements ► Team ► About FICCI ► About EY’s Education Sector practice Foreword During the last decade, the education sector has dominated economic planning. Despite many new national missions/programs and reforms agenda, by both the central and state governments with private sector intervention, the higher education sector is in a state of complete flux. While we have tremendously enhanced capacity, we lag in quality, given inadequate autonomy to our Universities. Centralized control and a standardized approach remains at the heart of regulations. We are in the 21st century with a mid-20th century regulatory architecture. During this time we have seen countries like China, Korea and Singapore, transform from developing to advanced economies in a decade due to strategic planning and a larger vision that correlated economic development to transformation in the education sector, in particular higher education and research, to become globally competitive. In this context, the FICCI Higher Education Committee has endeavored to create the 'Vision 2030' for Higher Education in India. The Vision is aspirational and futuristic, looking at India as a globally dominant economy, with a high quality higher education sector that leads and fulfills the needs of society. We have sought to get away from current constraints and challenges looking anew at what we could be by 2030, focusing on the genius and capability of our people and our civilisational ethos, and meeting our rightful destiny as a global leader.
