ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09

1 Introduction

1.1 PreludeIndia has a long tradition as well as reputation of running premier educational institutions across the time including private higher education institutions such as “Gurukuls” (700-500 BC) and of “Medieval Cosmopolitan” universities especially at Takshila and Nalanda 2000 years ago. The system has metamorphosed itself from being simple to highly complex structure and the change has been sometimes in great quantum. The growth of these higher education institutions has been by leaps and bounds and one can witness the dramatic change in the ecology of Indian higher education system. Further, higher education in India today is neither elitist nor a luxury but a necessity. Some of the important dimensions of this change in the Indian higher education system are expansion, accessibility, affordability and quality.

For a long time, Indian education and Universities symbolized a sacred process of character building and nation building. The emphasis has always been on value education and so on and so forth. But last few decades have witnessed a paradigm shift with the influence of several key players and factors. Some of them are a) increased demand for higher education b) limited and diminishing role of the government c) spiraling economic and fiscal stress on higher education d) growing international competition from foreign universities e) increased levels of aspiration from working adults for higher education f) Need for addressing issues like access and equity in higher education coupled with expansion and excellence and g) entry and aggressive marketing strategies adopted by private players, etc,.

Even as our current education system owes its legacy to Macaulay’s education pattern in colonial preindependent India, it has given us a wide base of formal educational institutions which have touched a whopping 420 Universities and 20,000 colleges. A cursory glance at these institutions reflects a wide range of diversity and pluralism in the ecology of higher education. This shift in

the ecology of higher education has given birth to a host of issues and concerns. It appears that a majority of higher education institutions run like business enterprises. With a very few islands of excellence, the Indian higher education system looks like an ocean of moderate institutions with insufficient infrastructure and inadequate faculty.

Under such conditions, variations in standard and quality are natural outcomes. Arising out of the need for establishing quality assurance systems in education in the context of the proliferation of colleges all over the country, the Program of Action (PoA) 1992 of the National Policy on Education(NPE) in 1986 emphasized the need for a mechanism to be setup, which will encourage self-assessment in institutions and also Assessment and Accreditation by an external agency. In this context of consolidating the gains of our educational system and to ensure quality education, the setting up of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) was a historic step. The NAAC is an autonomous institution of the University Grants Commission (UGC) with its prime agenda to assess and accredit institutions of higher education in the country has been established in the year 16th September 1994 and is headquartered at Bangalore.

NAAC as a torch bearer of quality assurance among higher education institutions has completed a journey of more than a decade. NAAC has carved a niche for itself in the ecology of higher education in India. If by analogy, one compares the educational institutions to an ecosystem, it reflects natural ecosystem in many ways. Of the many components, producers and consumers are two important players in an ecosystem and one can see producers (faculty) and consumers (learners) even in this system. One major difference in the environs of academics is that a large number of ‘consumers’ (learners) would be the ‘producers’ of future as against the natural ecosystem where the consumers are always dependent on producers. The quality of what is ‘consumed’ in the educational institutions is the key to the future of productivity of learners, but one has to ensure that in this flow of quality from one generation to the next, the operation of the diminishing law of thermodynamics is prevented.

Through continuous and conscious efforts, NAAC sets a goal for itself to keep the educational institutions quality conscious and alive to the contemporary changes. So far, NAAC has created a better understanding of quality assurance and also has triggered quality assurance activities in the institutions of higher education. NAAC has also facilitated for the creation of database of accredited institutions and helped regulatory and funding agencies to make decisions on various issues based on NAAC’s assessment results. With all these, NAAC has generated a keen interest and concern about quality assurance among different stakeholders of higher education.

NAAC will continue to play this role – the role of helping higher education institutions to indulge in introspection…introspection to identify the strengths and weaknesses and to effect corrective

measures for benchmarking and continuous improvement. NAAC plays the role of a mirror/peer to help the institutions to have the serenity to take a look at the mirror and analyse dispassionately and make value judgments.

At present, the success of NAAC is measured by the number of Colleges (3858) and Universities (148) assessed and accredited. At a more philosophical level, the next question would be: who will assess the assessor? A complex question like this demands introspection on the part of NAAC, hence NAAC has tried to address the issue by inviting feedback from different stakeholders, both formal and informal, to make course corrections and carry forward. It is further worthwhile to get attestation by the international community of assessment and accreditation undertaken by NAAC.

The alarming changes in the Indian higher education ecosystem have thrown a plethora of challenges for the system in general and NAAC in particular.

The impact that the NAAC has made on Higher Education Institutions(HEIs) is evident from the number of quality assurance seminars and workshops that have been conducted in the year 2008-2009 in order to achieve its objectives. Hitherto, the NAAC has conducted awareness programs in almost all States and this has triggered many regional level and district level activities.

The process of assessment and accreditation has created a tremendous momentum among the academia on issues pertaining to quality and this has largely been due to the successful partnership between NAAC and the State governments. As per the guidelines and suggestions of NAAC, Out of 28 States, so far 25 States have established Quality Assurance Cells (QACs) at the State Level, except Jharkhand, Sikkim and Tripura.

In case of National Capital Territory and 6 union Territories i.e., NCT of Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Lakshadweep, and Pondicherry, the colleges are minimal, hence the Directorate/ Commissionerate of Higher Education of the respective UTs take care.

NAAC has sponsored and participated in many seminars, conferences and workshops in order to achieve its mandate. From 1st April 2007 onwards, NAAC had requested and encouraged all HEIs to establish IQACs, not only in the accredited institutions as part of the Minimum Institutional Requirements, but all. As a result of this as on 31st March 2009, around 50% of the accredited colleges and accredited universities have established Internal Quality Assurance Cells (IQACs). Also Affiliated/Constituent Colleges volunteering for Assessment for the first time, NAAC encourages them to establish a functional IQAC as part of Institutional Eligibility for Quality Assessment (IEQA).
