The large quantity of young individuals in India might be its greatest strength but the hindrance goes along with it. Based on the information, very few young children can afford to step to college. The nation is experiencing a very challenging situation when it comes to creating a quality higher education to all young people in India.

As an example, India’s Gross Enrolment Ratios in the year 2010 is very low compared to other Asian countries.As for the global list of top 200 universities released last year 2013, India failed to make it on the list.

In order to understand this struggle, the Diplomat reached out to the founding dean of Indian School of Business, Pramath Raj Sinha. Sinha is a commited member of an association composed of entrepreneurs and business people who started the liberal arts educational institution called Ashoka University that begun accepting admission last year.

By the help of Sinha’sexperiences in the area of higher education, he can share his knowledge about success, in general. He shares some point of views related in higher education.

The problem arises wherein the high school educational system gets greater in number which prevents the students to continue their college. This kind of heavy inconsistency is one of the challenges of Indian higher education.

The private sector has something to do with this supply and demand issue about higher education in India and even those business-minded people contributes in building private colleges and universities. These people generously provide services for the benefit of many students just like IT, BPO and services industry.

Finally, the option to build foreign universities in India could make a progress toward something and it could take a long process and the financial stability should be considered. After all, there is no quicker way to arrange this challenge about higher education and India should be the one to find an effective solution.
