Abstract

Human resources development is an important component in the progress of any nation. The role of education in human resources development need not be emphasized. The philosophy of development in recent times has identified education as a cornerstone of democratic institutions and nation-states. India as a powerful democracy with enormous human resources has given topmost priority to ‘education’ for its overall development. Until recently, our focus was on school education. Now higher education is an important item on our agenda. This is the time to decide not just how many but what kind of universities and institutions of higher learning we require. More than ever before, we are aware of the subtle connection between higher education and the future of our democracy.
