This represents a fundamental change in Indian higher education policy, especially in recognition of the role of the states as the unit of planning, and the intent that multiple funding streams to states (Central and State) be aligned with the SHEC planning. However, beyond the RUSA requirements, the scale and complexity of the Indian higher education system require that the states play a more active role in planning and coordinating the system. To carry out this more active role, states must have effective SHEC.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC AUDITACADEMIC COUNCILSACADEMIC EXCELLENCEACADEMIC PERFORMANCEACADEMIC QUALITYACADEMIC STAFFACADEMIC STANDARDSACCREDITATIONACHIEVEMENTSAGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITIESBASIC SKILLSBLOCK GRANTSBLOCK GRANTS TO UNIVERSITIESCENTERS OF EXCELLENCECOLLEGE TEACHERSCOLLEGESCOMMUNITY COLLEGESCOUNTRY CASE STUDIESCOUNTRY STUDIESCURRICULACURRICULUMCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTDECENTRALIZATIONDISCIPLINESEDUCATION ACTIVITIESEDUCATION COUNCILSEDUCATION DEPARTMENTEDUCATION MINISTEREDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROVIDERSEDUCATION REFORMSEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATORSEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEDUCATIONAL PLANNINGEMPLOYMENTEXTENSIONEXTENSION ACTIVITIESEXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIESFACULTIESFACULTY QUALITYFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTGRADINGHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION COMMUNITYHIGHER EDUCATION FUNDINGHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAMSHIGHER EDUCATION REFORMHIGHER EDUCATION SECTORHIGHER EDUCATION STAKEHOLDERSHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMSHIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSHIGHER LEARNINGHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINNOVATIVE TEACHINGINSTITUTIONAL AUTONOMYINSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATIONINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSINTELLECTUALSINTERNATIONAL KNOWLEDGEJOB MARKETKNOWLEDGE CONSORTIALECTURESLIBRARIESMEDICAL EDUCATIONMINISTER FOR EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOBILITYNATIONAL EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATION POLICYNATIONAL UNIVERSITYNEW UNIVERSITIESNUMBER OF STUDENTSPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPRINCIPALSPRIVATE UNIVERSITIESPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC UNIVERSITYQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATIONQUALITY OF TEACHINGREFERENCE BOOKSRESEARCH FUNDINGRESEARCH GRANTSRESEARCH INSTITUTESRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRESOURCE CENTRESCHOLARSSCHOOLSSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSEMESTER SYSTEMSHORTAGE OF FACULTYSKILLS DEVELOPMENTSPORTSSTANDARDS OF EDUCATIONSTATE UNIVERSITIESSYLLABITEACHERTEACHER TRAININGTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING STAFFTECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL EXPERTSTENURETERTIARY EDUCATIONTEXT BOOKSTRAINING COURSESTRAINING OF TEACHERSTRAINING PROGRAMSUNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTSUNIVERSITY GRANTSUNIVERSITY PROGRAMSUNIVERSITY SYSTEMSUNIVERSITY TEACHERS10.1596/20011
