About the Book

This book is a collection of thoughts expressed by the authors from time to time in the past. on our higher education's system and related matters. The articles bring out the various problems that mire our educational system. The problems are of long standing nature and attempt to correct and bring about improvement through various committees and commissions have met with little success. The system needs overhaul from the top but unfortunately, this has not been possible. Selection of persons to different posts is mired with corruption and political interference. The book highlights some of these aspects in its various articles. The book should be of interest to both administrators and academics involved in higher education
