| Summary: | This background report was written at a
time when the Government of Bihar (GoB) was launching a
number of reforms in higher education. A private
universities bill passed the Bihar state assembly in April
2013 paving the way for opening of private universities in
the state. A strong effort to encourage universities and
colleges to obtain National Assessment and Accreditation
Council (NAAC) accreditation has been initiated. The
objective of this background report is to provide
policy-makers and stakeholders in higher education in Bihar
with an overview of the opportunities and challenges that
the state is facing in terms of reaching the ambitious goals
in mission manav vikas. The report analyzes the data and
information which is readily available on the access,
equity, excellence, and finance. It can also be used as a
baseline for the state higher education plan in Bihar
drafted as part of the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan
(RUSA) process. The report is reflecting what has been
possible to do in a short period of time with the available
data and information. |
