21. LET’S HAVE A LOOK ON THE PRESENT SCENARIO OF EDUCATION IN INDIA
THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS UNDERGOING STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATION: THERE WILL BE NEED FOR A
WORKFORCE OF 3.3 BILLION BY 2020. THIS STRUCTURAL SHIFT IN EMPLOYMENT WILL INCREASE
DEMAND FOR SOPHISTICATED WORKERS, INNOVATORS, AND THINKERS WHO CAN THRIVE IN A
GLOBALLY-CONNECTED AND DYNAMIC ECONOMY. ACCORDING TO MHRD, “NUMBER OF UNIVERSITIES
HAS NOTABLY INCREASED FROM 20 IN 1950 AT 3285%, TO 677 IN 2014, WHICH CONSISTS OF 51
INSTITUTIONS OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE (16 IITS, 30 NITS AND 5 IISERS), 45 CENTRAL
UNIVERSITIES, 318 STATE UNIVERSITIES, 185 STATE PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES, 129 DEEMED TO
BE UNIVERSITIES AND FOUR INSTITUTIONS ESTABLISHED UNDER VARIOUS STATE
LEGISLATIONS.
INDIA, WITH ITS LARGE WORKFORCE AND INCREASING POOL OF HIGHER EDUCATION GRADUATES, IS
STRATEGICALLY POSITIONED TO REAP THE BENEFITS OF THIS SHIFT. HOWEVER, THE ‘DEMOGRAPHIC
DIVIDED’ WILL BE SQUANDERED UNLESS INDIA IS ABLE TO CREATE A “GLOBALLY RELEVANT
AND COMPETITIVE” HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT SERVES THE REQUIREMENTS OF BOTH
THE DOMESTIC AS WELL AS GLOBAL ECONOMY.

25. CURRICULA IN MANY INSTITUTIONS ARE POORLY DESIGNED AND OUTDATED. THERE OFTEN NEEDS
TO BE A GREATER BALANCE BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE, A CHANGE FROM A TRADITIONAL
TEACHING MODE TO A MORE MODERNIZED, INTERNATIONAL, INNOVATIVE, AND INTERACTIVE
TEACHING MODE, AND IN GENERAL GREATER RESPONSIVENESS TO AND ALIGNMENT WITH THE
SECTOR’S NEEDS.
