Evolution of Higher Education:Are we Future Ready?

The objective of this editorial is not to suggest a roadmap for the future, but to try and identify the areas of concern in the domain of higher education which deserve immediate attention from the authorities. Higher education is no longer elitist, much less a luxury, but has become more accessible and is, moreover, essential for survival in today’s world. Hence, higher educational institutions and universities have to be centres for entrepreneurship, innovation, creativity, scholarships and knowledge production. Universities should be a platform to breed knowledgeable citizens with cultural and ethical values imprinted in them.
