Education, Human Resources and Development


Abstract


1. Economists and educationists have been stressing the vital link between education, human resources and economic development. This link has not been seen reflected properly in policy making as yet
2. No wonder our higher education sector continues to be ill equipped to take up the challenges of the modern knowledge-based economy. Hence the emphasis on the need to ensure that higher rate of economic growth is made inclusive so that India attains the status as a key player in the global economy
3. The role of the state needs to be reinvented and ensured in view of the country’s economy having been opened up and is vulnerable to the influence of the global economic trends. Only the state can guarantee an equitable and sustainable economic order in the new scenerio
4. What India has to ensure today is the formulation of suitable policies in the sphere of higher education so as to realize qualitative expansion through higher GER without compromising on quality as proposed in the 11th plan
5. Measures to create an adequate and well trained and well qualified faculty at different levels and in different disciplines are imperative in this context
6. Promotion of research and developmental activities can no longer wait
