1. “Secured Governance for Education”
Development of Education Infrastructures paving path for Multi- Sectoral Growth.
Education system in India has grown in the post‐independence
period to become one of the largest systems of its kind in the
world. During the last decade it has been experiencing a galloping
growth phase with major campuses mushrooming throughout the
country and offering varied courses. The higher education industry
boasting of student enrollment of 11 million in 343 universities
and 17000 colleges, offers a wide spectrum of courses that are
recognized globally. Market size of Higher education in India has
gone up from 30000 crores in 2008 to 50,000 crores in 2012. Apart
from undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral courses, there are
many training and diploma level institutes and polytechnics that cater to the growing demand
for skill‐ based and vocational education.
There is however a popular view point that the recent growth of higher education system has been
sporadic and unplanned and cannot be relied on to provide a robust source of development. There is
also a concern1 that apart from financing and management there also problems associated with access
and quality of higher education doled out. Even the National Knowledge Commission has called for
reforming governance of educational institutions. Governance issues in higher education have thus
emerged in to the forefront higher education.
We are in need of a system which provides a blue print for extending the present concept of practical
governance to ensure a system of administration that is proactive, secured, transperent accountable
and responsive. A system which has to be centred on dynamic self response mechanism derived from
well defined linkages of the system and individuals who can take necessary action independently.
Secured Governance for Education – A Mantra for Prosperity through
Knowledge Growth
Secured Governance for Education Sector is a strategy that relates to
the develop a relationship between development of Education
infrastructures to various other sectors along with various
institutions as partners and Government as governing body to foster,
coordinate and create an defined “Educational Hub” along various
existing educational infrastructure or to create a new cluster/s on
strategically defined locations that improves and develops the cluster
as a whole through regional strategies, technology and
interdependency among various sectors of growth.

Any system of Governance has to address the distribution of authority and functions among the units
within large entity, the modes of communication and control among them. The Secured governance is
built on the basis of realistic characterization of the stakeholders and their reactions to situations and its
greater emphasis on prompt and often proactive response for resolution of incidents ensures stability
and security.
Moreover Secured Governance for Education also emphasis on the ability to create a system to deal
with the code of conduct of relationships between the entity and surrounding environment. In particular
emphasis is on providing action corridors between the education system with those controlling specific
education sector roles may it be private players, government, banking, industry or other sectors. A high
degree of technical integration and economic interdependence in modern societies will also increase
uncertainty where risk begins and end, and help them judiciously plan and be prepared for even minor
event and rings in the society participation in nation building process
The concept of secured governance does not believe that dramatic changes can be achieved only
through a revolution that requires upturning all the procedures evolved through years of efforts and
experience. It realizes the tools for bringing about effective and sustainable changes are already
available in the system. They can be made more effective by defining linkages, effective response
mechanism and dynamic feedback systems. Emphasis is placed on defining relationship between
sectors of growth, institutions and government to foster coordination and create an environment that
improves the system as a whole through regional strategies, technology and by taking cognizance of the
myriad of interdependencies.
