Fallacy of Teaching-Research Nexus

According to Ajit Kumar Rai and Naveen Kumar Sharma, there are three goals of higher education, namely, teaching, research and extension. It is assumed that quality teaching paves the way for fruitful and meaningful research and innovation, apart from producing quality human resource and skilled workforce. It is therefore, obligatory that our higher education institutes (HEI), namely, colleges and universities, lay more stress on improving quality of teaching which is crucial for promoting research in Indian universities.
