ABSTRACT
The higher education in India is at the crossroads since the release of the National Education Policy 2020 by the Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development in July 2020 amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic. The book “The Future of Higher Education in India” was published a few months after releasing of the draft National Education Policy (NEP) by the Committee for Draft National Education Policy in May 2019, chaired by eminent space scientist and technocrat Dr. K. Kasturirangan. The book thus relates to some of the recommendations of the draft NEP on the governance and transformation of higher education institutions in the country. The country has about 900 universities. They fall into the categories of central, state, private and deemed universities. These include many of the centrally funded technical institutions (CFTIs), recognized as the technical and research universities and placed in the global ranking of world universities.
