Full textAbstract:
The Global challenges are capturing the interest and focus of Indian Higher Education institutions to update their systems and appraise the criteria of rankings. And it is difficult to justify the Indian Higher education institutions’ unique excellence parameters and its scalability to meet the criteria of rankings, because of its diversity in institutions’ size, nature of courses, disciplines, population, etc. Initially, the local challenges for Indian graduates which include appropriate employment, Career in further Studies, Entrepreneurship opportunities, etc. do not have a unique framework. The other focus area is lack of awareness and expertise in mezzanine technologies like Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Renewable energy, Agricultural Technologies, Machine Learning, Data Science, Block Chain Technologies, Cyber Security, IoT, Virtual Reality, 3D Printing, Robotics, Design Thinking, etc. This paper has focused on these issues to collect the processes and designing a unique framework model to be adapted by higher educational institutions especially technical institutions in India. As the number of technical institutions is rising year on year, the demand is primarily dependent on quality and excellence outcomes. The proposed model is tested with current higher educational functions by implementing it in two higher educational institutions. The results are adaptable and applicable to any of technical higher education institution who are seeking excellence in processes. Keywords— Higher Education, Reengineering, Spectral Pyramid, Total Quality Management.

The purpose of this research is to examine the quality management system (QMS) practices in ISO 9001 certified engineering educational institutes (EEIs) in India. According to the literature, QMS in engineering education is primarily concerned with teaching, learning, examinations, student results, and infrastructure. In terms of organizational effectiveness, very few studies mentioned QMS. A QMS analysis was performed on forty-five EEIs located in the Delhi NCR region of India, and two groups of institutions were chosen based on the number of years they had been in operation. Data was collected from forty-five engineering educational institutions using a questionnaire-based instrument. The questionnaire was created with the help of QMS constructs (ten factors), institutions, and quality measures recommended by India's national board of accreditation-NBA. To validate the measuring instrument and determine the student t-test and p-value, the data was analysed using SPSS 26.0 software. The author discovered that group-b institutions received significantly higher scores in variables such as top management commitment, systemic management approach, customer satisfaction, employee engagement, training, teamwork, performance development, corporate social responsibility, academic culture, and knowledge audit when compared to group-a institutions. The study also revealed the institutional QMS's strong and weak points, highlighting the critical need to incorporate ISO 9001:2015-based QMS practises for institutional continuous improvement.

Abstract: This study aims to analyse the quality management system (QMS) practices performed in ISO 9001 certified engineering educational institutes of India. The literature divulged that QMS in engineering education mainly engrossed on teaching, learning, examinations, student results and infrastructure. Very few studies mentioned QMS in terms of organizational effectiveness. Thus the author has conducted the QMS analysis in forty-five engineering educational institutions (EEIs) of Delhi NCR area in India and selected two groups of institutions based on years of existence. Group-a consists of twenty institutions less than fifteen years old, and group-b consists of twenty-five institutions over fifteen years old. Data were collected using a questionnaire from forty-five engineering educational institutions. The questionnaire was prepared using QMS constructs (ten factors) followed by the institutions and the quality measures followed by the national board of accreditation-NBA in India. Data analysis was done using SPSS 26.0 software to conclude the student t-test and p-value. The author found that the group-b institutions received substantially higher scores in variables that had topmanagement commitment, systemic management approach, customer satisfaction, employee involvement, training, teamwork, continuous improvement, corporate social responsibility, academic culture and knowledge audit compared to group-a institutions. The study also revealed the strong and weak points of the institutional QMS, and there is a strong need to incorporate ISO 9001:2015- based QMS practices for the continuous improvement of institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The paper examines the nature and performance of participatory water institutions in eastern India using structural equation modelling. There is a crisis in the management of water in India, and this is often not about having too little water but about managing it poorly. It is now being widely recognized that engineering structures and solutions are not enough, and having effective water institutions is critical. These are urgently needed in eastern India for helping lift the region out of low incomes and poverty. However, creating good institutions is complex, and in this context, the fundamentals of new institutional economics, and management governance theory have suggested the importance of a number of key factors including five institutional features and eight rationalities. Based on this, a study was conducted in eastern India, sampling from the states of Assam and Bihar, covering 510 farm households across 51 water institutions. In order to understand and map the relationship and pathways across these key factors, a structural equation model is hypothesized. In the model, the five institutional features are considered determinants of the eight rationalities, and the rationalities are considered determinants of four performance goals. The performance on the goals determines the overall performance/success of the institution. Besides this, the institutional features and rationalities can also directly influence performance on the goals and the overall performance. The model is tested with data from the survey and different pathways that are robust are identified. The results can provide useful insights into the interlinkages and pathways of institutional behavior and can help policy and institution design for delivering more robust performance. The results show that one of the most important factors determining overall performance/success is technical rationality, and this deserves great attention. It includes technical expertise, sound location and quality of structures and equipment, and good maintenance. However, success is also strongly linked to performance on production/income goals, equity, and environment goals. These are, in turn, strongly related to achievement of economic, social, technical, and organizational rationalities, which call for attention to economic aspects such as crop choice and marketing, besides social aspects such as inclusion of women and poorer social groups, and organizational aspects such as member involvement and regular meetings. Further, the institutional features of clear objectives, good interactions, adaptive, correct scale, and compliance are important for achievement of almost all rationalities through various pathways, and should be strongly focused on in all the institutions.

Full textAbstract:
Quality management is an approach to management which requires establishing quality policies, procedures and practices on regular basis. Engineering education is a process of developing techno human resources, which are to be used later as input to industry which in turn produces goods and services for the societal use. Having considered the current situation of the engineering educational system and the quality of all its individual components it can be noticed that the awareness of the importance of education as a foundation for the growth and development of the country, such as India, is not strong enough. Engineering graduates passing out from educational institutions have to fulfill modern and high standard requirements that are needed by industry. Therefore, there is a greater need to instill quality in engineering education to produce technically skilled and creative man-power in India. The continuous assessment of quality is of paramount importance for educational institution. Education efficiency and success does not depend just on quantity but as well on quality. This paper has discussed key points for the improvement in the quality of engineering education with a case study undertaken at various engineering colleges in India. The study was conducted in two phase; first phase is the critical investigation of the literature and the second phase is a study on the quality of engineering education provided by the educational institutions in Visakhapatnam city. A simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study. A research study described in this paper identifies and analyses the quality of engineering education at the educational institutions which adopt the total quality management system to increase the quality and meet the industrial requirements and then suggests some ingredients to improve the quality.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to discuss students’ assessment of quality related issues in engineering education in India. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses primary survey data of 1,178 undergraduate engineering students in Delhi, India, in 2009-2010. Students’ experience and views of four important aspects such as teaching methods used in the classroom, evaluation pattern, skills acquired by students during the course and the involvement of students in different activities other than classroom teaching are discussed using descriptive statistics and correlation to examine the quality issues. Findings The study finds that the lecture method is still dominant in the teaching and learning of engineering institutions compared to technical demonstration and laboratory work. Around half of the engineering students reported that they had never gone through any field work or industrial visits during their entire program of study. Involvement of students in the activities other than classroom teaching (e.g. working on research projects, attending engineering internships, studying a foreign language and opting for interdisciplinary courses) is more prevalent in government institutions compared to private institutions. The findings suggest that engineering institutions (particularly private colleges) should change their focus from traditional methods of teaching and evaluation of students to interactive methods of learning to improve the quality of technical education in India. Originality/value The literature reveals that the quality assessment of engineering and technical education in India is largely based on the information collected from stakeholders other than students. Therefore, this study contributes a new dimension to the existing literature by considering students’ assessment of the quality of engineering education.

This article analyses data on five years of India Rankings to assess its impact on performance parameters of institutions of higher education in terms of publications, citations, patents, highly-cited publications and research funding under broad category of parameter named “Research and Professional Practices”. The analysis on data on five years of India Rankings, i.e. 2016 to 2020 on various performance parameters of HEIs provides an interesting insight and reveals that participating institutions are making strenuous effort to improve their performance on various parameters or sub-parameters identified by the NIRF for ranking of HEIs. It is note that the number of publications, citations, and highly-cited publications (HCP) by eligible applicant institutions have increased exponentially over a period of five years from 2016 to 2020. It is interesting to note that per cent of publications, citations, and HCP by the 100 top-ranked institutions has decreased with corresponding increase of publications, citations, and HCP of the remaining institutions. This trend indicates that a good number of remaining institutions have not only intensified their research and publications activities but are also attracting their share of citations. It is also observed that a significant number of NIRF eligible applicants did not have any publication, however, per cent of institutions having “0” publications have decreasing gradually every year from 2017 to 2020. Noticeable and consistent increase in total publications of India, NIRF Eligible Applicants, 100 top-ranked institutions and remaining institutions in Overall category was noticed during past four years, i.e. 2017 to 2020. However, per cent increase in publications of the 100 top-ranked institutions was the highest in overall category.

Abstract Present paper aims to give an insight in the field of Mechatronics, specifically its standard of education in India. We have investigated this field right from its origin. We have analyzed how it expanded as a proper discipline of engineering and in which direction the development in this field is going now and, at the same time, its status of education in India and where we are in addressing the industry’s need both in terms of quality and quantity of students. We have also assessed why Mechatronics is an essential branch considering its multi-disciplinary nature. The pount is that it holds blatant importance for time to come. Life’s most complicated problems cannot be addressed by the knowledge of only one engineering science. In today’s world we need professionals who are “good jack(s) of all trades and master(s) of one” changing the old saying. For implementing this edited saying students will need to address real-world problems, so laboratory-based learning should be even more emphasized in this branch. Consequently, we have also looked on the laboratory works that are included in these courses, considering what aspects should be covered in them. Skillsets required by students such as implementation of hardware, coding, system modeling have been also discussed. Future prospects in this discipline have also been explored. The epilogue consists in recommendations to educational institutions based on our findings.

Abstract: The Indian Higher Education (IHE) system has been critiqued consistently over quality concerns, resulting in several corrective measures being initiated by the policy makers, regulators, and the institutions. Consequently, progress has been observed in terms of improved outcomes on some parameters. One emergent trend in the IHE is increased focus on quantitative data by the accreditation and ranking agencies. This has spurred the sector into a competitive overdrive with institutions vying for rankings and awards. This has also resulted in malpractices, systemic erosion, and gamification of the system with long term repercussions. This paper argues against adopting purely quantitative measures for institutional assessment, suggesting measures which are holistic, broad-based, and better serve the needs of a country as diverse as India.

Abstract: The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship amongst the three variables i.e., innovative culture (IC), social media (SM) and organizational effectiveness (OE). The study also aims to explore the mediating role of social media on the proposed relationship. Based on the proposed framework, data were collected from 732 faculty of Indian technical education institutions through selfreported questionnaires. The data were tested utilizing Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique. The findings revealed positive relationship between IC and OE. Social media indicated a two-dimensional model, namely utilitarian, and hedonic purpose. Further, results indicated that social media for hedonic purpose mediated the relationship between innovative culture and organizational effectiveness. This paper offers significant insights to Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) that may help the institutions tounderstand the importance of social media that may affect organizational effectiveness. Till date, social media as a mediator has received less attention in the context of technical educational institutions in India. The establishment of social media as a mediator between IC and OE in HEIs is unique.The findings contribute to the existing body of literature on IC, social media, and OE in the non- Western context as the data were collected from the domain of private engineering colleges in India. Keywords: innovative culture, social media (utilitarian, hedonic), organizational effectiveness

Abstract : The spread of Coronavirus pandemic and the resulting lockdown has significantly disrupted every facet of human life including education. The education system has never thought of such an unprecedented situation and thus, it had caused a colossal disparity within it. More than 1.2 billion children were out of the classroom, in India almost 32 crore learners stopped going to educational institutions. In India the online learning has many concerns like awareness, its effectiveness, stable internet connectivity, electricity supply, required devices etc. In this study we are trying to address such queries, constraints and to analyse impacts of COVID-19 on the students by understanding their opinion, inclinations and their mental health via an online survey of 399 engineering students in two institutions of Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. Our results revealed that smartphone is the most popular device since 88.97% used it whereas mobile GPRS is the first choice for the Internet connectivity since 75.18% respondents used it.

Full textAbstract:
The advancement in technology has mandated many elected representatives to use social media for socio-political participation, participatory development and currently to create awareness about the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) in India is to develop local self-governments in districts, zones, and villages, with rural development being their main objective. Women's participation in the political arena was ensured, at the local self-government level by the historic 73rd and 74th amendments of the Indian constitution in the year 1992 by granting 33 percent reservation for women in the Indian rural governance processes. It heralded a new era in decentralized governance in India. The landmark amendment has allowed women to step out of their homes and participate in Gram Panchayats and other local institutional level meetings (Phukan, Kumar, and Majeed, 2018). Karnataka was a stellar example, being the first State in the country to implement the Panchayat Raj Act, which had mandated 25% reservation for women, in 1987, prior to the Amendments of 1992. As many as 14,000 women were elected in the first elections held in 1987 (Bageshree, 2009). Use of social networking sites has upgraded the methods and structures of political communication from traditional to digital (Darshan & Suresh, 2017). Local governments in India are increasingly using social media to keep citizens safe and informed while the nation works to flatten the curve of COVID-19. In this scenario, the social media usage by Elected Women Representatives (EWRs) of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) for participatory development, during the COVID-19 pandemic is explored.

The India story at 75 is an extraordinarily consequential and researchable one. The single biggest challenge for anyone analyzing Indian politics is that the subject seems like a “Project in Progress”, conveying a sense of a country perennially in a state of transformation. For the study of Indian politics is, in many ways, the study of India’s democracy, understood in the most comprehensive sense. The constitutional foundation and the institutional framework on which India’s politics rests, is to my mind also the bases of democratic politics in India. Indian democracy today remains the unwritten evolving subtext of any discussion on Indian politics. Our transformation from a “soft” state to a “hard” state should make us more confident, compassionate inclusive and humane- qualities that the world’s largest democracy can well afford to stand for and stand by, because these are the qualities that have sustained our democracy in 75 years.

Community-based watershed management (CBWM) has gained prominence in developing world towards integrated resource management for livelihood enhancement of the poor, due to failure of large-scale river valley projects. This paradigm shift has enabled to narrow the divide between the state and community, and marks a beginning for the State towards a “learning organisation” that is adaptive to the changing social and environmental condition. The paper examines the role of State in institutionalising CBWM in three Indian states. It calls for the State to create an enabling institutional environment for coordination among institutions to emerge by devolving adequate responsibilities. This would offer opportunities for institutions to negotiate their concerns and build credibility for a long lasting institutional solution towards integrating resource management.

Purpose – Technical education plays an important role in the development of a country in this age of knowledge economy. Indian technical education system is facing many opportunities and challenges, one of which is how to assess the performance of technical institutions based on multiple criteria. The purpose of this paper is to describe and illustrate an application of a structured approach to determine relative efficiency and ranking of a set of private engineering colleges under multi-criteria environment. Design/methodology/approach – To cater to the increasing need of technical manpower, a very large number of private engineering colleges have been established in the state of West Bengal of eastern India within a very short period. Uniform and acceptable quality of the graduates from many of these private engineering colleges is a concern today and therefore the need for performance evaluation and ranking of these colleges is paramount. For the proposed framework a comparatively new multiple criteria decision-making tool, multiple objective optimization on the basis of simple ratio analysis (MOOSRA) is applied for performance evaluation of eight private engineering colleges taking into account some selected criteria. The subjective weights of the criteria are determined using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Findings – For the analysis, the required data have been provided by the management of the colleges for the academic year of 2011-2012. Based on request of the management identities of these institutes are not disclosed. The institutes are considered as anonymous institute and coded as A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H, respectively. The result of the study reveals that E is the best and the ranking the authors get is in the order of E > F > A > H > D > C > G > B. The result shows that composite performance scores of institutions A, E and F are above the mean performance score value. Therefore these three institutions can be considered as the benchmark or peer group for the remaining five institutions which lie below the mean line of the performance score value. Originality/value – This paper provides a comprehensive yet detailed methodology for performance evaluation of academic institutions. The novelty in the approach is that fuzzy AHP and MOOSRA are being used as a benchmarking technique in a simple methodology which is generic in nature. It is one of the few studies that evaluate the performance of technical institutions in India.

Management education is considered as elitist, precious and professional course as it attracts young candidates who are very passionate and motivated by the positive consequences associated with management education to either become a successful manager or to set an example by becoming successful entrepreneur. Management education in India is predominately a derivative of western management thought and practice. Occasionally, management schools draw some inferences from Indian epics, shastras and practices. It may be worthwhile to notice that management itself as a discipline has evolved from fundamental disciplines of philosophy, psychology, economics, accounting, computer science, mathematics, statistics and industrial engineering. In this decade India has witnessed a drastic change in higher education. Especially management education is witnessing an exponential growth in terms of number of institutes imparting management education which are usually termed as Business Schools or Management Institutions. In this paper authors have tried to explore the present situation of management education in India. This paper also studies the trends prevailing in management education in India, and tries to find out how effectively the management education helps the industries as well as how does it help one to become successful entrepreneur. Further the paper explains the emerging issues of management education in India and also explores the strategies and policies to be implied to improve the quality of management education and survive in long run. This paper throws light on existing literatures in management education in India as well as discusses the challenges faced by management institutions.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyses scores of the top 100 institutions ranked by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF- 2021), Ministry of Education, Government of India in the Engineering category. It considered all five major parameters: Teaching, Learning & Resources, Research and Professional Practice, Graduation Outcome, Outreach and Inclusivity and Perception. Albeit the methodology has been publicly available, the participating institutions could not verify their scores for the ten sub-parameters (metric/combined metric) out of 17 even after the announcement of rankings every year. Of the ten, perception is one such parameter that carries 10% weight. The NIRF defines the functions for nine sub-parameters based on the data submitted by the participating institutions. Having done the extensive analysis in this work, it is found that there are quite a few cases where the function, representing the relationship between the data and score, is neither monotonically increasing nor decreasing. Hence, this paper compares the percentage change in average scores of the top 10, 25, 50 and 100, and bottom 10 and 50 ranked institutions on various parameters/sub-parameters to the extent possible and, in a few cases, reveals the nonlinear-multimodal function correlating the data and the scores. Finally, this work concludes with a few recommendations for the institutions to perform well in NIRF rankings in future and provides suggestions to NIRF to rank the institutions based on their size, years of existence and funding support by the government.

We assess and compare computer science skills among final-year computer science undergraduates (seniors) in four major economic and political powers that produce approximately half of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduates in the world. We find that seniors in the United States substantially outperform seniors in China, India, and Russia by 0.76–0.88 SDs and score comparably with seniors in elite institutions in these countries. Seniors in elite institutions in the United States further outperform seniors in elite institutions in China, India, and Russia by ∼0.85 SDs. The skills advantage of the United States is not because it has a large proportion of high-scoring international students. Finally, males score consistently but only moderately higher (0.16–0.41 SDs) than females within all four countries.

Although the Indian Association for Medical Informatics (IAMI) was foundedin1993, proposed bymajorhealthcaredelivery institutions, the absence of independent career options in medical informatics in India hasresulted eitherinthe exodusofthe needed facultymembersfor supporting education in the field. However, this situation may have been changing in the past few years, but a large gap exists which needs to be filled up quickly. The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of the present situation of research and training in medical informatics in India, and its implications for future development of the field. Objectives: To assess the current situation regardingthe opportunities for research and education in Medical Informatics in India and related issues like availability of career options. Methods: Asurveyquestionnairewassentbypostalmailtowell-known Indian institutions engaged in medical informatics training and research. In addition, key stakeholders working towards impartingeducation and awareness on the principles and practice of medical informatics were contacted to provide information about training and researchinmedicalinformaticsinIndia.This was a purposivesamplingbased onpriorknowledge. Theresponseswerethematicallyanalyzed. Results: A total of six courses were identified in the survey. These were administered through face to face (F2F), e-learningand other modes of distance learning. In general, most of the students are graduates in medicine (allopathic, homeopathic, ayurvedic), allied sciences (nursing, physiotherapy) and medical administrators or graduates in engineering or library and information sciences. Most of them are also working, thus, the majority of the courses are for part-timers and act as on-job value addition. Most of the courses however do not directly train for jobs. Therefore, as most of the participants are already working somewhere, the question of placement due to the course may not be measurabledirectly. Since most of the students from India are already employed, by attending this course they gain further insights into health informaticsthat they want to pursue as a career.

Abstract— Globalization has interaction on each and every connection of life, people. Higher education is not an exception from these transformations. Effects of globalization on higher educational institutions (HEIs) include student mobility, faculty exchange, research, rankings, academic collaborations, diverse cohorts and international enrolments. Globalization also brought isomorphic pressures on HEIs to become equivalent and comparable. This paper discusses isomorphism which leads to Indian universities becoming more homogenous and thus consequently loosing autonomy and in turn individual identity. Secondly, it discusses the constraints on academic autonomy of new HEIs due to peer pressure isomorphism. with their academic autonomy. This report is based on university affiliated HEIs which opted autonomous status under the new schemes and policies. In this report two case studies, Government College of Engineering, Pune and MIT Academy of Engineering, Pune, are presented.

Abstract : In the recent years, Entrepreneurship and Innovation have taken new dimension due to increase in the globalization and liberalization. Women Entrepreneurs are the ones who start a venture or a business activity generating jobs for others. The three major factors that are playing important role in women entrepreneurship are : Firstly, internal factors such as individual's attitude towards risk taking or family encouragement, secondly external factors such as government support or reward system and finally the third factor is education & competencies. According to 2016 report of Small Industry Development Bank of India (SIDBI), following southern Indian states such as Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra have witnessed more than 50% of all women led small scale industrial units in India. The GDP of a nation increases as the women of the country progress in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation. Women have to be given equal chance as men in the field of entrepreneurship as most of the talented women end up with responsibilities at home. Despite facing a lot of socio-economic problems, women entrepreneurs and innovators have become successful. With a little more encouragement from the government , a change can be brought in how higher education institutionsfosters entrepreneurship and innovation in women students and hence more and more women entrepreneurs are developed. To build the confidence and to promote innovation in women, a separate category of ranking for women institutions were included in Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation and Achievement (ARIIA) 2020, where a total of 674 institutions participated. The Indian higher education system has expanded at a fast pace by adding more than 20,000 colleges and more than 8 million students in the last decade and as of today, India has more than 800 universities. According to the AICTE 2016 report, there are over 10,500 engineering colleges and polytechnics in the country with an intake capacity of about 22,00,000 students. The conversion rate of women entrepreneurs are still very low, in spite of these many educational institutions. There are a lot of challenges with women entrepreneurship in India such as social obstacles , patriarchal society, lack of exposure, lack of confidence, lack of education facilities, no agenda in life, degree of financial freedom, risk taking abilities, lack of professional education, lack of interaction with successful entrepreneurship, lack of balance between family and career, lack of skills and finance in economically rich and poor women, no awareness about the capacities,problems working with male workers and so forth. This paper focuses on literature review of women entrepreneurship and Innovation in Higher Education in India and the key findings are highlighted.

Purpose The present study aims to assess the resource procurement preferences among the leading academic libraries of the institutes of higher learning across India. The study analyses the amount and percentage of budget spent by the institutions under study during the period 2012-2013, 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 on the procurement of print and electronic resources in their libraries. The study also discusses about concerns with regard to the subscription of e-resources and the reasons for weaning interest among the Indian academicians towards the print resources. Design/methodology/approach By and large, the scope of the study is limited to institutes of higher learning across India, but reflects a great deal of relevance to the global higher education practices. The study has been undertaken on the 20 leading institutes each from Universities, Institutes of Management and Institutes of Technology in India, based on the ranking list released by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, on 4 April 2016. Findings The electronic documents are the dominant forms of present day library procurements in India, with the print struggling to retain its readership. The Institutes of Engineering and Technology and Management have almost similar procurement preferences, spending almost three-fourth of their library budgets on the procurement of e-documents. On average, the University libraries in India have spent 43.54 per cent of their budget on the procurement of print resources and 56.46 per cent of their budget on the procurement of electronic resources during the period of study. Similarly, on average, each Institute of Engineering and Technology has spent 24.04 per cent of their library budget on the procurement of print documents and 75.96 per cent towards the procurement of electronic resources, whereas 27.51 per cent of the library budget by the Institutes of Management in India is being spent on the procurement of print resources and 72.49 per cent towards the procurement of electronic resources.

The most common one has taking orally that has financial support from organization which has privately manage and ruled out by under the surveillances of Pharmacy council of India and abused principal of the college. However research shows that has easily broken down by the system. This problem has solved by using intervention by secretarial level department of health research (DHR) government of India. These can be done by binding pharmacy council of India by department of health research with government of India. The encouragement has protected with monthly salary that has single mother by choice which has service privately manage under the influence of abuse principal pharmaceutical Institutions which has linkage of slums and rural area in India. Once financial support reaches the children’s, another pathway takes over to help financial pass into the children needs. Binding of regulatory of pharmacy council of India to single mother by choice residing in private pharmacy institution in slum makes the financial hitch a ride on this protected supply chain, where it has released to do its work. Financial help also causes stimulation of brain which leads to increased release of sertraline moieties. Finding simpler ways to deliver cause into the slums pharmacy institution has one important avenue for tackling the myth of single mother by choice that has sweeping the developing world and GDP in slum occupied pharmacy Institutions. Single mother by choice has specific mechanisms for protecting and absorbing valuable things that would usually be correlate by financial conditions and better delivery method to their children.

A well-designed and futuristic educational policy is very much essential for a nation at different levels of education, since good education leads to economic and social progress of a nation. The education systems adopted by different countries differ by considering their own tradition and culture at different education levels to make the system effective. The Government of India recently has announced a new education policy, NEP-2020 based on the recommendations by an expert committee. However, there is a need for a specific plan to realize multi-entry multi-exit, experiential learning and multidisciplinary approach proposed in NEP-2020 for higher education in India, particularly Tier–II institutions. This paper proposes a framework enabling educational institutions to plan and prepare their curriculum ensuring various goals and objectives of NEP-2020. The proposed framework addresses the guidelines for Computer Science and Engineering programme and may be extended to other branches of Engineering.

<p class="apa">Maximum number of privately funded engineering institutions have been established in India in the last two decades to meet the growing needs of technical manpower required by the Engineering and IT companies as well as aspiring students after completion of the Pre-University Program. However, a large number of institutions have not been able to attract the talented students for their undergraduate programs. The private managements of those institutions have realized then, the need for maintaining high quality in imparting engineering education. In addition, the regulatory bodies like NBA insist on maintaining the quality in the educational programs before giving accreditation. Therefore, the young institutes need to know the best practices adopted by the high performing institutions and introduce those best practices in their programs. In this paper, an attempt has been made to identify the best practices of the reputed and ranking institutes, to classify and codify those practices so as to enable the young institutes to implement them. Quality indicators have been identified through literature review, by summarizing previous studies, by conducting discussion with experts in the field. A few top ranked engineering institutions are selected to identify and list the best practices, by referring to the finding of various magazines. Practices followed with respect to the quality indicators identified have been composed by conducting structured interviews and discussions with various core groups & stake holders of these institutions. The details of literature review, data collection & analysis, findings and policy implications of the research work are presented in this paper. The best practices enlisted through this study will act as guidelines to implement the quality initiatives for the young institutions.</p>

When India got independence and chose to be a democracy, experts were skeptical whether India will survive as a democracy, because it was not a middle income country, industrialisation had not taken place in India, and it was large and highly diverse country, these were preconditions for democracy. Congress has been one of the most important institutions in India’s modern political development trajectory. Congress has played a significant role, while remaining as a dominant party in a competitive party system, in evolving an institutionalized democracy in post-independent India. But, we have witnessed Congress’ decline since 1980s while there has been some points of recoveries as well in between. The paper dwells upon the reasons for the decline of Congress, as well as the consequences of decline of Congress for Indian democracy at large.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a model for generic competencies based on lifecycle orientation of projects to support infrastructure managers (IMs) in India. Design/methodology/approach This study has reviewed literature on competency theories and their advancement of knowledge in management, construction and engineering projects. This study has applied exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to structure generic competencies founded on infrastructure practices in India. Further this study has applied confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test for confirmation on emerged dimensionality of the competence construct for IMs in India. Findings Using data collected from 175 usable questionnaires of managers serving in infrastructure firms in India for EFA followed by CFA, six generic competencies have been established in the domains of strategic, analytical, personal, managerial, professional and leadership dimensions significantly impacting competent performance. Research limitations/implications This study has applied plausibility sampling and it presents only generic competencies for executives working in the infrastructure sector alone. Practical implications Due to the growth in number of executives to be employed in infrastructure firms in India, academic institutions in this subcontinent have gained momentum in offering programmes covering the field of infrastructure management. These institutions are believed to be covering domains of strategic, analytical, personal, managerial, professional and leadership dimensions for assuring competent performance of IMs in India. Social implications Attention to these generic competencies can help IMs to contribute towards better performance, academic institutions to design curriculum, recruiters to acquire talent and executives to advance professionally. Originality/value Extant academic studies relating to generic competencies are available mostly in project and construction domains. There is a paucity of such academic studies in the domain of infrastructure.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSystems thinking, design thinking and strategic thinking have been identified as important competencies for future engineers. Many institutions have introduced these subjects into their engineering courses. However, there is need for a deeper appreciation of the underlying assumptions behind these strands of thinking and ways to measure their impact. This paper draws on a four-year experience in implementing systems thinking in a design-centric engineering program in India. It presents the approach adopted and a complexity-based measure to track development in systems thinking competence.

Full textAbstract:
Virtualization is a concept in which multiple guest operating systems share a single piece of hardware. Server virtualization is the widely used type of virtualization in which each operating system believes that it has sole control of the underlying hardware. Server virtualization has already got its place in companies. Higher education institutes have also started to migrate to virtualized servers. The motivation for higher education institutes to adopt server virtualization is to reduce the maintenance of the complex information technology (IT) infrastructure. Data security is also one of the parameters considered by higher education institutes to move to virtualization. Virtualization enables organizations to reduce expenditure by avoiding building out more data center space. Server consolidation benefits the educational institutes by reducing energy costs, easing maintenance, optimizing the use of hardware, provisioning the resources for research. As the hybrid mode of learning is gaining momentum, the online mode of teaching and working from home options can be enabled with a strengthened infrastructure. The paper presents activities conducted during server virtualization implementation at RV College of Engineering, Bengaluru, one of the reputed engineering institutes in India. The activities carried out include study of the current scenario, evaluation of new proposals and post-implementation review.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a framework for designing a multiple performance measurement tool for evaluating, comparing and benchmarking the working of engineering educational institutes in a group based on total quality management (TQM) criteria and performance measurement criterion, respectively.Design/methodology/approachProposed framework is based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) which takes in to account the fuzziness of human opinion for realistic outcome and generalization of the results. Based on the proposed framework a case study was conducted on engineering institutes of central India for collecting data and analyzing the current practices followed in these institutes. A relationship among TQM implementation criterion was developed, their respective weights derived and then institutes were ranked.FindingsIt was found that the rank of institutions based on both the criterion is same, which indicates that the institutes having better TQM implementation have better performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe research in this paper is limited to Indian scenario; studies in other countries and sectors may be conducted to compare the results obtained.Practical implicationsThe results will help policy makers in identifying institutions having poor performance in the region.Originality/valueThe paper is navel in its attempt to provide a model based on TQM criteria for evaluating the working of engineering educational institutes in a group in terms of their relative weightage and benchmark.
