I appreciate the effort put in by you in compiling the probable difficulties in creating world class University in India. The subject merits full blast discussion and policy formulation.

Dr. Atul Mishra, School of International Studies, Central University, Gujarat
There are some of us who refuse to look at education in terms of business and economic opportunities, or statistics that portray nations in certain light. This may sound unfamiliar, but education is a human need and like all human needs, it is not something to be monetized or put in service of the nation. All the best, however.

Who says Indians cannot do anything? The amount of effort and hard work you have put in to make your exercise fruitful is just unthinkable . For the sake of writing something I can congratulate you or thank you a lot etc as a feedback but I think these few artificial words are not enough.
From the core of my heart I can say "Excellent and very much usefull job you have done for all of us".

Our thanks and gratitude for writing such books which are the present need of our Nation. We all salute you.
This website has been visited by 24900 academicians, which includes more than 150 Vice Chancellors, 20 Directors (IIT/ IIM/ IIIT / NIT), 500 High Profile Center and State Government Authorities, 110 members of BOG of Premier Institutes and thousands of Principals, Professors, Registrars, Librarians.
This series of books are compiled after refereeing thousands of pages (more than 3 lakh pages), which includes Reports, Research Outcomes, Books, White Papers, Strategic Plans, Higher Education Magazines, Websites of Top Ranking Universities and Reviews written by Hundreds of Higher Education Leaders of more than 30 Countries. I had devoted few years and sacrificed Rs. 30 lakh for writing this series of books.
The print version of all the 4 books are available at website of Shroff publication http://www.shroffpublishers.com/search.aspx?q=dharaskar&v=0&l=0&p=1 as well as at Flipkart.
This venture can boost the brainstorming on the National Higher Educational Liberalization and Reform Policy like India’s Economic Liberalization Policy & Reforms of 1991, which had resulted in the amazing 9% GDP growth rate in 2007. Only the Knowledge Based Economy can sustained the growth rate our nation. To remain in the international competition, we will have to provide world class education. It’s question of future of our next generation and 550 million young population of India.
