Regulation and higher education in India are explained by way of clarifying the constitutional provisions and analysing emerging policy proposals regarding centralisation, commercialisation and regulations. This article highlights the importance of higher education for transformation. In this regard, ten challenges are outlined in the end. - Reproduced.
