  • Strategy Paper for the Sir Ratan Tata Trust, Mumbai
    HIGHER EDUCATION A Strategy Paper for the Sir Ratan Tata Trust, Mumbai PART ONE I. Background and Context for Review and Strategy Paper Following on the CSCS-Bangalore University conference on the Future of Higher Education assisted by the Trust (February 2006), CSCS was asked to prepare a Strategy Paper on higher education with a view to identifying new initiatives in the field. The Trust also requested CSCS to take another look at select past grants (endowment grants, research grants and fellowship grants) and help enlarge the scope of some of the suggestions made in the Krishna Kumar Report on the Education Portfolio commissioned by the Trust (2005). We understand that our Strategy Paper like the Report mentioned above is in preparation for formulating the Trust’s Strategy Plan 2011. Although the SRTT has been making grants since the early twentieth century, the systematization of grantmaking and the professionalization of the Trust was initiated in 1995 with the preparation of a Strategic Plan 2000 (Vijay Mahajan and Girish Godbole, 1995) which suggested five thematic areas including Education. The 2000 Strategy Plan reiterated the need to “do more for education in India” (19), but on the basis of discussions with experts in the field, it was recommended that the Trust focus on “primary education and vocational training…(in) rural areas” (20). The consultants’ belief was that Indian universities and professional institutes ought to raise money independently, starting with their alumni. While this recommendation would have led to a suspension of Higher Education grants, it is to the credit of the programme staff and the trustees that this category of grant-making has not only continued but also strengthened its focus.
