India has 45 leading universities, 200 million students and 36, 000 degree colleges. Despite all this, 45% of our faculty still remains vacant. There is an urgent need for reinvention of the vision and mission of our higher education. The UGC and Bar council need to balance the efforts to stop dubious universities from seeking affiliation and at the same time not discourage new innovation and curb autonomy. Also, the efforts of providing education to all should not be an excuse for compromise on the quality of the same. There is a requirement to adopt an equitable development of central as well as state universities and insure that reforms regarding the same reach every institute of higher studies in the nation. Hence, a major shift is required in changing the purview of higher educations from only for-profit to visionary, experiential and research based.
