Alumni's role

In a country where educational infrastructure is such a huge concern, shouldn't the successful alumni's from these universities take a bigger role following the footsteps of our western counterparts?

Sadly, very little money is earned by Indian Universities due to donations from their Alumni's and are heavily dependent on tution fees...

Don't tie down the India of ideas

"We need to free our universities from the stifling rules and quantitative targets which govern academic hiring and promotion."

The Hindu : Opinion / Lead : Don't tie down the India of ideas: The point about the current rules is that when it comes to performance appraisal, it quantifies activity without sufficient correction for quality. Quantitative output targets that ignore the quality of outcomes in the university can be disastrous for a society. Quantitative targets, mindlessly implemented, are no answer to the very serious challenge the Indian university faces today, which is to compete in the global forum for ideas.
