What is it about?
It is a policy directive supposed to be set by the government, which is often a major source of funding for educational needs in our country. The extent to which higher education institutions are engaged in research and development activities has a key role in determining the status and the quality of these institutions.

Why is it important?
This is inevitable in today's institutions of higher learning especially funded by tax payers' money. Otherwise higher education institutions would find it difficult to finance their activities including research and innovation. If not the contribution, which they make to economic and social development will be futile.
Perspectives
To achieve these the policy prescriptions for the institutions count on their strength based on the following important aspects. • Institutional history and development • Research experience, capability and capacity • HE system and role of individual HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) in contributing to wealth creation. However the Higher Education Institutions today have no choice but to address the contemporary challenges to compete for survival.
