It is said that quality of a nation is judged\u00a0by the quality of its citizens. Quality of citizenship depends directly on the system of\u00a0education of the nation which, in turn, is decided by the quality of teachers it has. In this<br \/>\nregard the Kothari Commission (1964-66) has rightly said, \u201cA sound programme of\u00a0professional education of teachers is essential for the qualitative improvement of education\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Quality in higher education is the most urgent need of the hour as our country is progressing\u00a0towards becoming an educational hub of the world. All the levels of education vertically need\u00a0to be knit strongly into one coherent unit to ensure quality. Academic institutions are arriving\u00a0and opting for quality circles, quality efforts at institutional, national as well as international\u00a0levels. In addition, various academic bodies like UGC, NAAC, NCTE, etc. aim at quality\u00a0enhancement in education.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The ancient educational system in India is rooted in quality. The Chandyogya Upanishad, for\u00a0instance, called upon quality in all actions. In the Geeta, Lord Krishna told Arjuna, \u2018Yogaha\u00a0Karmasunkaushalam\u2019, or quality at work itself is Sadhana or the way to unite with God.\u00a0Ancient Indian Universities such as Takshashila in the Bhrahmanic period and Nalanda\u00a0during the Buddhist era were known for their insistence on quality and excellence.\u00a0And yet today India is facing \u2018Quality crisis\u2019!<\/p>\n<p>Hence, attention needs to be paid to quality parameters in education.<\/p>\n<p>The focus of the seminar is to review the prevalent systems of higher education across the\u00a0world in terms of their constitutional policies and provisions vis-\u00e0-vis scope of implementing\u00a0them, to identify and discuss the core aspects and criteria in quality concerns vis-\u00e0-vis\u00a0teaching learning process, students\u2019 progression and support, governance and leadership,\u00a0faculty up-gradation, infrastructure facilities and utilization thereof.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Objectives of the seminar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
