Book Description

About the Book The Indian Institute of Advanced Study organized some decades ago a seminar on management and organization of Indian universities, with the University of Mysore, in Mysore. These are being republished again because the topics are very relevant today although the knitty gritty of numbers and other data statistics has certainly changed; quantitatively this is true but qualitatively the issues remain the same despite the new educational policies and commissions. The essentials of various conflicts within the system, because of a fragmented approach, continue to disrupt the implementation of new educational ideas, policies and commissions. It is a truism to state that educational needs are imperative and their problems need to be dealt with urgently. And yet today, apart from quantitative expansion, we remain substantially where we were at the time of India's Independence, as far as management and organization of Indian universities are concerned. There is an increasing need for a practical and detailed consideration of the problem of higher education in the context of its organizational framework. The problems of basic reforms which involve curricula, examinations, research quality and scope of facilities, faculty and student unrest, the problems of denominational institutions, medium of instruction, etc. are also of immediate relevance. One of the major areas in this context is the governance of Indian universities. The pattern of university administration has become obsolete and has never received the kind of specialized consideration and planning. Rules, regulations, techniques and red tape have hampered the real purpose of university education.In the present volume, the general problems that continue to be of validity even today, are divided into eight major themes. These were discussed by the experts in their presentation. These represent certain minimal points which need to be covered in any serious planning for the reorganization of Indian universities.

Preface The Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Simla, organized some fifty years ago a seminar on management and organization of Indian universities, with the University of Mysore, in Mysore in January 1971. Its proceedings were published in July 1971. These are being republished again because the topics are very relevant today although the knitty gritty of numbers and other data statistics have certainly changed; quantitatively, this is true but qualitatively the issues remain the same despite new educational policies and commissions. The essentials of various conflicts within the system, because of a fragmented approach, continue to disrupt the implementation of new educational ideas, policies and commissions. It's a truism to state that educational needs are imperative and their problems need to be dealt with urgently. And yet today, apart from quantitative expansion, we remain substantially where we were at the time of India's Independence, as far as management and organization is concerned. There is an increasing need for a practical and detailed consideration of the problem of higher education in the context of its organizational framework. The problems of basic reforms which involve curricula, examinations, research quality and scope of facilities, faculty and student unrest, the problems of denominational institutions, medium of instruction, etc. are also of immediate relevance. One of the major areas in this context is the governance of Indian universities.

Introduction The crucial role of education in a developing nation is widely recognized. In the growth of a developing nation, it is a truism to state, educational needs are imperative and their problems need to be dealt with urgently. Of course, these needs and problems had been taken into consideration during the national freedom movement. It was especially Gandhiji who gave a great deal of attention to the problem of developing a suitable system of education which would be workable at all of our societal levels. A few national institutions of higher education and research were also founded during this period. It was the hope of some, then, that these few institutions would form the nucleus of free India's entire future educational system, replacing the British one. And yet, today, apart from quantitative expansion, we remain very substantially where we were at the time of India's Independence. In the two decades or so since then, there have been at least two fairly comprehensive reviews of the educational system, such as the very able and high-powered ones that may be seen in the Radhakrishnan Commission and Kothari Commission reports. But despite these reappraisals, due to many factors, India has largely retained the colonial system of education as has been inherited from the British. Hence, even today, one has to continue to stress very strongly the need for a thorough and radical restructuring of our educational system, which must be based on well-thought out concepts, and a contemporary philosophy of education.
