Abstract

The success of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) laid a strong foundation for primary and secondary education in India, which led to an increase in demand for higher education. However, the sphere of higher education had yet not witnessed any concerted effort for improvement of access or quality. Over the years, there has been an unprecedented expansion in number of institutions and volume of students in the country. To take advantage of the demographic dividend, there was a need for a concerted effort which would improve the quality and relevance of higher education and result in an educated and productive workforce.
