This volume emphasizes the need for fundamental reforms into the existing institutional structure of higher education and their governance so as to infuse much needed dynamism and renewed sense of purpose in the higher education sector in India. The contributors to the volume argue that universities ought to be dynamic institutions where new ideas are exchanged, mistakes made, and lessons learnt.

C. Raj Kumar is Vice Chancellor, O.P. Jindal Global University; and Dean, Jindal Global Law School, Sonipat, Haryana (NCR of Delhi), India.
