'Philanthropy in higher education must' - The New Indian Express

'Philanthropy in higher education must' - The New Indian Express: Lauding the private sector for its contributions to higher education, Prof Prakash warned against “business orientation” in higher education. “We have 145 private universities and 95 per cent of the deemed universities are from private sector. Commercialisation of higher education in private sector is unacceptable, which could lead to institutions becoming real estates,” he said, adding that private philanthropy in higher education must be revived. He said Indian higher education faces crises in identity, resources and governance.
