Development of Higher Education in India and Uttarakhand, India

Abstract

The third highest education system of India is one of the oldest systems of the world also. The word "Education” contains all the vowels. Since the time of British reign many committees have been appointed for the development of higher education. The growth of higher education in India has been impressive after independence. Several governing bodies have been established by the govt. to control and evaluate the basic facilities in the higher educational institutions. Various agencies like UGC, AICTE and NCTE etc are working to develop the higher education of India. But still we have to pass a long distance as at global level we are doing not good. Even our IITs and IIMs which are the top Indian institution are unable to make a place among top 500 educational institutions. In Uttarakhand the education is spreading by leaps and bounds. There is one central university and an IIT and various state and technical universities.
