India has glorious traditions of education, research and self-learning since ancient times. Taxila and Nalanda, which data back to 6th century B.C. were the best known centres of learning in the then known world. Once these institutions went into oblivion, the journey of Indian higher education has been rather arduous. And when we became free in 1947, we inherited an elitist system, which catered to only a privileged few. Though our priorities have undergone marked transformation since then, adherence to national ethos, coherence with cultural values, inclusion and pluralism have been the guiding principles.

This book will be an immensely useful resource for all those engaged in teaching, research, consultancy, planning and administrating of higher education and care for skilled, educated, peaceful and prosperous India. It should reignite a healthy debate on the inclusion of a moral component in the educational curriculum. …
