The higher education system in India has grown in a remarkable way, particularly in the post-independence period, to become one of the largest systems of its kind in the world. However, the system has many issues of concern at present, like financing and management including access, equity and relevance, reorientation of programmes by laying emphasis on health consciousness, values and ethics and quality of higher education together with the assessment of institutions and their accreditation. 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. Recognizing the above and the basic fact, that the Universities have to perform multiple roles, like creating new knowledge, acquiring new capabilities and producing an intelligent human resource pool, through challenging teaching, research and extension activities so as to balance both the need and the demand.
The edited book entitled, “Issues, Challenges and Reforms in Higher Education” consists of 23 chapters in this regard will help the students to lead a better achievement. Present day education is largely academic. With the increasing emphasis on academics in the World of employment and elsewhere and the rapid advances in science and technology all over the World, parental pressure has been driving academic training at the cost of health and physical fitness of the youth. It is in this context that there is now an urgency to lay a strong foundation and strengthen physical education and sports programmes in the higher education institutions. This calls for the integration of physical education, sports, yoga and recreation activities in the higher education system for the overall good of the younger generation.
