ALL INDIA SURVEY ON HIGHER EDUCATION

Higher Education is of Vital Importance for the country, as it is a powerful tool to build knowledge-based society of the 21st century.With the growing size and diversity of Higher Education sector, particularly in terms of courses, managements, geographical coverage & reach, it has become extremely necessary to develop a sound database on Higher Education, at State as well as National Level.

To cope up with the problem of low enrollment, Govt. of India has envisaged in the 11th plan various measure such as opening of new Institutions/Colleges, upgrading the existing ones & so on and Govt has a fixed target of increasing G.E.R. in Higher Education to 15% by the end of the 11th plan and 30% by the 12th plan.

These statistics are of immense importance for planning & policy making at the national and international level.

Hence the importance of timely submission of correct and reliable data is needless to emphasize.
