Vignan University – A Case Study | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

The Indian higher education system, although the second largest in the world, has been facing three fundamental challenges - access, equity, and quality - as evidenced by the relatively low Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER), wide geographical, community and gender disparity, and un-employability of graduates. There has been wide disparity in higher education GER across states, urban and rural areas, gender, and social groups. Further, it has been plagued with faculty shortage, poor academic standards, outdated curricula and ill-equipped libraries. Against this backdrop, the Vignan group of educational institutions evolved to address these challenges effectively and provide credible option to those students who were not satisfied/able to access quality education.
