In a constantly changing world, the benefits of education are amongst the only few constants. Education is envisioned as a transformative journey of inquiry, learning, and maximising the human potential bound to have positive implications for the world’s most pressing problems.

Proper education leaves its imprint on the students’ souls long after completing their formal education. In a shrinking global world, the pursuit of academic excellence must be blended with cosmopolitan and international values while keeping the moral, spiritual, and ethical essence and ethos of the Indian education system alive.

Quality education is not a matter of chance. Rather it is carefully planned and consciously cultivated. It can become a reality when a University establishes Centers of Excellence and envisions them as a space to promote quality conversations and interactions between communities of scholars, thinkers, and leaders.

In its truest sense, education is an ecosystem that helps students follow their natural curiosity and unravel their unique career paths. Education should give wings to their ideas and embolden them to start independent, successful ventures. This incubation can only happen if students are exposed to research-intensive programs underpinned by cutting-edge innovation and social relevance.

India is at a juncture where a large population makes inroads into higher education every year. Since public institutions are few, private institutions have stepped in to serve the need. These institutions have to rise to the challenge of bridging the gap between academia and industry.

To do so, we must create a vibrant and enriching teaching-learning culture that inspires innovation and entrepreneurship. Traditional pedagogies must be reassessed to facilitate a more interactive and trans-disciplinary learning experience.
