About The Conference

Authorities during Convocation

When we talk about higher education in India, we can say that although India is full of great scholars as well
as educationists, there are many hindrances as well as challenges in the path of higher education as a result,
many deserving students are not able to get quality based higher education in our country. Government data
suggests that only one out of every seven children born in India go to college and the nation suffers from both
a crippling quantity, as well as a quality challenge. This fact can also be proved by looking at the QS World
University Rankings, which is an annual listing of the world's top universities. Hence, this conference has
been planned in order to discuss and analyze the above mentioned problems.

Objectives

To analyze the existing challenges in higher education

To examine the contribution of the existing educational organizations in higher
education.
To analyze how the present system of education can be restructured and revamped
in order to achieve the desired goals.
To find out a way to eradicate the existing challenges in higher education in India.
