One Day State Level Conference

Association of Self-Financing Arts, Science and Management Colleges of Tamilnadu was started in the year 2003. It was started with the objective to bring together Arts, Science & Management colleges under one umbrella to protect and bring the problems and issues facing the self-financing colleges of Tamilnadu to the notice of various Government and related authorities. The association has members from various college managements from all over Tamil Nadu.

The association, with the driving forces of a democratic structure, voluntary participation, transparent function, apolitical character, and an unbiased attitude towards teacher-student welfare and academic pursuit is fulfilling the dreams of our forefathers with regard to education. The association is guided by the principles of secularism and the right to education for all. It envisages a holistic and secular education with due consideration.

India, upon Independence, had access to higher education essentially through public universities, colleges, and other institutions. Access to higher education was limited, and the enrolment ratio remained below 5 percent.

With poverty and poor health care staring in its face, India could not allocate more than a fraction of its budget for Education. Hence private sector roped in.

Despite the number of self-financing institutions in several states, it was Tamil Nadu which took a very late step to rope in the Private Sector in the form of Private Polytechnics. Slowly, this extended to Engineering and Arts and Science Colleges. Hundreds of such institutions came into being during the last three decades with an infrastructure worth thousands of crores.

Thus, from a mere 6 % Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) in higher education, Tamil Nadu moved on to more than 42% GER. In addition, thousands of highly educated men and women found employment as teachers in these self-financing institutions.

Corresponding to the unprecedented growth of higher educational institutions, we do not find correspondingly enhancement in the quality of education offered. Hence, ASAFSM intends to contribute by finding ways to enhance quality of higher education through organising conferences and workshops for the teachers and academic administrators.

Excellence in higher education is the key to success of any society and plays an important role in a nation’s development. Globally, excellence in higher education has been achieved through the untiring efforts of Eminent Academic Leaders and Inspiring Teachers producing quality human resource through novel teaching practices and contributing to socioeconomic development by meaningful research. These are the two vital indicators of excellence of higher education institutions.
