What is it about?
This paper (chapter in a book on global university-industry-government links) looks at the very complex and challenging situation of the fast-growing (but stymied, on many fronts) higher educational sector in India. A treatment this short, of course, is only a starting point. But, as authors, we have provided the necessary material to grasp the challenges and to embark on courses of action.
