India recognizes that the new global scenario poses unprecedented challenges for the higher education system. Globalization has led to increased interdependence of the countries worldwide for marketing of services, flow of capital and of course human migration and exchange of technology. However, this is also a fact that this model of globalization is actually intended to benefit the developed countries more than the rest.
