Introduction
In the fifty odd years since India gained independence its higher education
has undergone a metamorphic change. From a system, which focused on the
needs of elite groups of society, nurtured by colonial roots it has changed into
an egalitarian system attempting to meet the aspirations of a vibrant
democracy.
Today, India can boast of the second largest higher education system in the
world (306 universities) with a network of institutions spread over the entire
country. Yet there are several disturbing trends.
 First there is unplanned expansion of higher education skewed mainly
in favor of urban India.
 Secondly whereas newer, frontiers are opening up in the economy
unfortunately the existing system continues to focus on the
development of older narrower skill sets and specializations.
 Thirdly in an era when cultures, education and business all are getting
globalize and when we ate moving to a ‘knowledge’ driven world
existing education system is yet to grapple with the new realities and
the necessity of developing individuals with a global outlook
The massive changes that have taken place in the socio economic
environment require a reorientation of the educational system to make it more
responsive to the demands of India’s all round growth. Reorientation and
restructuring of the educational programmes in higher education system are
essential for economic growth and sustainable development.

This implies that the educational process is required to be linked with
production and employment. Reorientation of educational programmes thus
needs to be undertaken in such a manner that it helps to produce self-reliant
and self-dependent citizens.
Therefore it is imperative that in the face of rapidly changing global economy,
higher education institutions have to learn as to how to cope with the
emerging challenges, choose appropriate technology options and also avail
new opportunities as they unfold. It is about dynamic curricula, fresh
approaches to traditional teaching methods, raising resources and to plan
creatively and constructively. This calls for a new vision new links and
partnerships with the world of work, community and society, it calls for
changes in methods, contents, pedagogical approaches and modes of
delivery of education.
The success of an academic institution depends greatly on its academic
ethos, organization culture and professional competency of its faculty and
systems as well as its ability to continuously keep in touch with the
contemporary environment. This requires the faculty to be innovative,
curriculum dynamic and Relationship with stakeholders strong and real time.
Keeping
in

the
foregoing
the
growing
emphasis
on
global
competitiveness, the need to bridge the gap between theory and practice and
the growing demand for highly skilled personnel in the frontier areas of
management, engineering and technology, medicine, architecture, IT and
Computing, media and Communication, films and television, healthcare,
insurance, biosciences, fashion, law, hospitality and Tourism and other fields
of education, society the Babu Banarasi Das Educational Society, proposes to
