To Change or To Be a Change

Change is a difference in a state of affairs with reference to various things or a different context. To change or to be a change that is always a perennial question in everyone's life at almost every stage. Nations are also not different. Higher education in India has always been an experimentation; either from the policymakers or from the stakeholders. Think of any change and we are always reminded of the adage that says change is the only constant in this world . The idea of the Grand Academic Portal has also started first to change ourselves and also to be a change maker in the various fields of higher education in India. When we seek any change it has to be both- within and outside, to get the Holistic approach. To get a change in interpersonal and community narrative in the higher education, we need to look at it from five different dimensions - the classroom, the institution, the community, the nation, and the world. Higher Education in India is going through a sea-change since a decade. But as it is observed, the change is not happening organically or systematically. There are many haphazard and temporary decisions taken by the policymakers over the year which has created a lot of chaos in the field of Higher Education. This book is a humble effort to assimilate different areas of Change in Higher Education.
