520			_aHigher education in India has witnessed a steady growth in the last two decades. The size and composition of higher education institutions and their trend over the years has been achieved by planned allocations on education and its various sectors under Five Year Plans. However, shortage of skilled manpower in several sectors of economy continues to exist in spite of growing population of young people, gains in school education, the growing middle class and their rising aspirations. This shortage of skilled manpower is a cause for concern in most sectors in India. The article observes that the present higher education system in India is not equipped to address this problem without some changes in the basic structure and a strict regulatory mechanism to ensure that as much emphasis is placed on access as on quality and standards. There is a strong need to place stringent entry barriers for aspiring education providers. - Reproduced.
