Building Golden India: How to unleash India's vast potential and transform its higher education system. Now. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780996616805)

Read a Book About Dramatically Improving India's Future

Higher education is the bedrock of individual, societal, and national growth. A world-class higher education system not only prepares young people for fulfilling careers and lifelong learning but also upskills professionals, drives innovation, spurs entrepreneurship, solves societal and industrial challenges, and contributes to a more dynamic economy.

Unfortunately, India's higher education system is underperforming, struggling to meet the needs of its students, industry, and society at large. With a population of 1.4 billion, including approximately 700 million people under the age of 24-making up 17.5% of the global population and 21.6% of the world's youth-transforming India's higher education system is not just vital for the country's future but also for global progress.

To tackle this monumental challenge, Shailendra "Shail" Kumar has written this book. The foreword is by Gururaj "Desh" Deshpande, Life Member of the MIT Corporation. Rich with data and compelling stories, the book explores the root causes of India's higher education challenges, examines their impact, and provides actionable solutions-drawing on benchmarks from around the world, including India's ancient educational systems.

This groundbreaking work has garnered praise from academic leaders, industry executives, students, and entrepreneurs globally. It contributed to the development of the National Education Policy (NEP), approved in 2020, and has inspired numerous initiatives to elevate India's higher education system.
