Leveraging digital tech to take education to higher level

July 30, 2015Daily NewsBy wp-admin

Immediately after attaining independence, India chose to focus on providing Higher Education opportunities within the country and as a result managed to establish institutions of repute that have successfully attracted top quality minds both in terms of students as well as teachers. However after more than six decades of independence, the country is continuing to cope with the challenge of providing access to quality higher education to the growing number of young people of this country. It is unfortunate that there is not a single Indian university among the top 200 global universities as per 2014 QS ranking.
