Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are pivotal in the socio-economic transformation of a nation. The recent disruptions in various spheres of human development have reiterated the significance of HEIs in paving the right direction for human evolution. Geopolitical changes, climate concern, environmental challenges, and demographic disparities have raised new challenges to HEIs. The volatility of the environment has impressed upon HEIs to take the path less trodden.
The undisputed significance of Quality in higher education as the bedrock of the future of a nation is yet again in the limelight. Quality, in HEIs significantly differs from other sectors of economic development. The qualitative parameters for an educational institution are diverse across continents. The UGC and NAAC serve as torch bearers of quality in HEIs in India. Their quality framework serves as signposts for a prosperous future for the youth in the country. HEIs in India are beset with modern challenges in terms of globally relevant curriculum, inclusivity, access to state-of-the-art facilities in all regions, environmental concerns, changing industrial needs, and technological divide among teachers and learners. A retrospection into the quality of higher education system in the nation is the need of the hour.
