India aspiration for higher education recognition

India's National Education Policy was formulated to position India's higher education sector for its distinctive high quality. NEP places "emphasis on developing a distinctly Indian approach to internationalization of higher education. Recommendations to build the soft power potential of Indian higher education by facilitating international research collaborations and international expansion of Indian universities and programs, et. could be viewed in this context."

Some of the provisions of the NEP have already been implemented but the more pervasive implementation lies ahead. Some Indian academics are concerned about establishing standards that will support a thriving higher education sector. Of particular concern is academic freedom, a core tenet that Joyce Lau says will likely keep India from achieving its aspiration to have its universities ranked among the best in the world.
