Transatlantic rift Donald Trump shakes the NATO consensus further by talking defence budgets Summit of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation in Brussels was expected to be tense,

leaders given the widening rift in the Western alliance over the U.S.‟s imposition of trade tariffs

Donald Trump‟s call to member-countries to double their annual defence expenditure to 4% of GDP has the potential for greater harm

Mr. Trump can launch his latest offensive U.S. spending well in excess of 3% of GDP on defence in 2017-18 Germany‟s large imports of gas from Russia, a divisive issue within Europe Russia‟s annexation of Crimea Communiqué issued after the summit reiterates the group‟s resolve to meet the 2024 deadline

on defence spending. But Mr. Trump seems impatient on achieving the target sooner, without spelling out his

reasons. The world will learn more about Mr. Trump‟s America First agenda in the coming months.


A helping hand for Indian universities Future of Indian universities (public and private) will significantly depend upon our ability

to harness the possibility of individual, institutional and corporate philanthropy for thepurposes of higher education.

A major legal and policy reform to promote some form of mandatory corporate socialresponsibility (CSR) was initiated through the Companies Act, 2013.

Path-breaking, it had the potential to transform the relationship between business and society

Unfortunately, the results so far have not been encouraging.

Misinterpreting CSR- The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has observed that amongthe 5,097 companies that have filed annual reports till December 2016 (financial year 2015-16), only 3,118 companies had made some contribution towards CSR expenditure.


Continue During FY 2014-15, 3,139 companies had spent 74% of the prescribed CSR expenditure —

most were to the Prime Minister‟s Relief Fund.

There has been very little strategic thinking and innovation in the CSR where corporations can play a leadership role in contributing to society.

This also shows that companies in India have generally not understood the larger goals of CSR, viewing it more as a charitable endeavour.

CSR framework for contributing to the social sector, the fact is that higher education and universities do need to receive significantly more attention.

Every aspect of a university‟s growth requires substantial financial resources: hiring ofworld class faculty; developing research centres; funding research projects; building physical infrastructure, and making available scholarships for students.


Continue The Ministry of Human Resource Development should be working closely with the MCA to

have a road map that incentivises CSR funding to be made available for universities.

Committee constituted by the then Planning Commission and headed by the then chief mentor of Infosys, Narayana Murthy, focussed on the role of the corporate sector inhigher education- To promote greater accessibility of higher education to theunderprivileged- However, these recommendations were not implemented.

The government has initiated five major reforms in the areas of regulation, accreditation, rankings, autonomy and internationalisation.

Every year, educationists have put forth the argument that we need to increase the budget forhigher education


Continue The privatisation of higher education has not been driven by philanthropy but to a large

extent by commercial and for-profit interests that do not have a symbiotic relationship with the vision, values and ethos of a university.

Institute of Eminence (IOE) policy by the government did create hopes and expectations for establishing world class universities in India.

Unfortunately, the policy, procedure and the process of selecting IOEs has been marred by a lack of transparency, vision and imagination in institution building

In this, leadership in philanthropy is central to enabling an institutional vision that willhelp build the future of higher education in India.


Politics over the Constitution “History is written by the victors” is attributed to Winston Churchill
