India is going through tremendous transformations at this juncture. Growth in access to education has been remarkable during the 11th Five Year Plan period. Ambitious growth targets have been set for the 12th Plan by the government. In particular, growth in access to post-secondary educational provision is specially targeted in 12th Plan. As the youth of this country aspire for a better life, as millions of them enter higher education institutions as first generation learners, they get exposed to a new world of ideas. In addition to learning about the subjects they have chosen to study, higher education must inculcate in them a sense of social responsibility.
