Higher Education in India: Growth, Financing, and Challenges

Dr. Madhu Sahni

Abstract: Education at the post - secondary level is called higher education. Higher education is widely acknowledged as a fundamental force behind social and economic progress. In order to meet the challenges of globalization, higher education is required. The higher education system in India is one of the biggest in the world. More than 1100 universities and 46007 colleges in our nation offer higher education to more than 394.34 lakh people. Despite this, India has made remarkable progress in higher education since gaining independence. However, gender disparities between rural and urban areas, a lack of funding, a focus on privatizing higher education, and problems with higher education's quality and quantity are all significant issues that have a significant impact on the Indian higher education system. The present article seeks to examine the expansion of higher education in India after independence. Additionally, the article also analyzes higher education finance patterns and the current challenges the Indian higher education system is experiencing.
