Education in India is seen as one of the ways to upward social mobility. The higher education system in the country has grown in a remarkable way after the Independence to become one of the largest systems of its kind in the world. We now live in an increasingly diverse, globalized, and complex, media-saturated society. The change in educational practices and tools over the last ten years has been truly remarkable. Despite that the system has many issues of concern at present, like those of financing and management, inadequate infrastructure, technology and research, access and equity, safeguarding national academic standards, ethical relevance, improvement and enhancement of quality of higher education together with the assessment of institutions and their accreditation. Underinvestment in libraries, information technology, laboratories, and classrooms makes it very difficult to provide top-quality instruction or engage in cutting-edge era. These issues are important for the country, as it is now engaged in the use of higher education as a powerful tool to build a knowledge-based information society of the 21st century. It becomes very clear that the modern-day classroom needs are very different from those of conventional classrooms. With significant improvements in school education and higher education programmes such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and Rashtriya Uchchattar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA), it is the right time to address the higher education system in the country. The urgent need has been to address the shortcomings of the entire process of converting youth into educated and well-groomed citizens. At present, there is an important need to improve our quality of higher education for transforming and making India digital.
