He said that the need of the hour is to address the bottlenecks which deny quality higher education to a huge chunk of talent pool in the far-flung areas.

“The government of India should use their initiatives like Digital India to take up higher education to the last mile. With this, the government can ensure its ambitious scheme of education for all,” he suggested.

“Despite being home to 152 central universities, 316 state universities and 191 private universities, India lags behind in imparting quality education. The top 100 universities list of Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings reveal this as none of the Indian universities was featured. This calls for an immediate action,” said Gajbhiye.

Raising his concerns about the curriculum systems, he said that the current education system focuses on route learning rather than productive and meaningful outcomes.

He also called for the need of value-driven education system so as to bring a behavioral change.

Talking about futuristic approach towards education, Gabhiye voiced for the need to impart skill-based training along with training the students to be entrepreneurs. He hailed the initiative taken up by the Delhi government of promoting entrepreneurship through government schools in Delhi.

While concluding his thoughts, he said that these reforms are only possible if they implemented properly which should be the top priority of the governments.
