A National Colloquium On Higher Education: Academia And Administration In India

Education is regarded as one that contributes to social, political, cultural and economic transformation of a country. The prosperity of any nation is intrinsically linked to its human resources. A quality human capital comes from a quality education process. A carefully designed and well planned education system is critical in developing such human capital.
