A National Conference on ‘Challenges to Contemporary Indian Higher Education’ was organized by Department of Education, Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth, Pune on Saturday 3rd November, 2012. Dr. Umesh Keskar, Registrar, Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth, in his welcome address stated the impact of globalization on contemporary Indian higher education and education sector as a whole. He further said that the role of government and public sector in the field of education needs to be given a serious thought. Dr. Neelima Mehta, Convener and Principal of Department of Education mentioned in brief the importance of higher education in the development process and threw light on the theme and sub-themes of the conference.
Dr. Deepak Tilak, Vice-Chancellor, Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth expressed his views about development of Higher Education and the need of involvement of government and private institutions for the same. He emphasized the need of implementation of structured and well planned schemes in the development of higher education.
Dr. Bharat Bhushan, Director, Distance Education Council, IGNOU has delivered the keynote address in this conference. In his address he highlighted the need to offer Open and Distance Learning Programme parallel to conventional education system to increase the accessibility of higher education. Further he mentioned that the current higher education had a confined reach only to metros and cities and to selected class of people. It had yet to reach rural parts. The open and distance mode of learning had the potencial to increase the reach of higher education even in the remotest parts in an inclusive manner. The compilation of Abstracts was released by Dr. Bharat Bhushan.
The 64 delegates from all over India presented their papers in five different sessions. The various presentations focused on challenges to quality, accessibility, standardization and government interventions in higher education. The sessions were multidisciplinary. Dr. Bharat Bhushan and Dr. Hanumaiah attended the paper presentation sessions and interacted with the participants.
Dr. B. Hanumaiah, Vice-Chancellor of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Central University (Lukhnow) emphasized the need to develop higher education. He said,’ There are three important components in any education system i.e. students, teachers and parents'. He stressed that teachers are the most important component in the education system therefore the teachers have to equip themselves better in the teaching – learning process.
The valedictory function was presided by Dr. Arun Nigavekar, Former Chairman, UGC, New Delhi, and Founder Director, NAAC. In his address the following aspects were touched upon,
• The necessity of autonomy of universities for quality enhancement
• The paradox in Higher Education in India about the fact that massification and quality do not go hand in hand.
• Various government policies to achieve the difficult balance between improved access and equity to higher education without compromising quality.
• The numerous magnitudes of students in the coming decade who will seek higher education and the paucity of institutions catering these needs.
• Synergy between existing regular mode of education with open and distance education systems to address the problem of numerous students.
• The need to have technology, electronic media and flexible modes of higher education where the regular and distance education boundaries get blurred and blend seamlessly.
• Requirement of a multidisciplinary approach to higher education.
• Addressing challenges of creating effective delivery systems which lead to – anytime, anywhere, any place higher education for all.
• Challenges with respect to legal structures, implementation of related policies and global needs in the context of higher education.
• Need of perpetual educational policies which are not dependent on or affected by governments in power.
• Need to encourage public / private partnership (PPP) in higher education
• The important role of Distance Education Council (DEC) to meet challenges of numbers and maintain quality of higher education.
