If this subject is offered to a student of our country, he or she may write pages on it due to its popularity and awareness amongst them. On one side, our country is supposed to be revolutionized by campaigns such as Digital India, but the actual story, regarding the present persisting education system in our country, is very sad. Education at any level in India is still suffering because of those conventional methods of teaching which are still being followed in the schools and universities of our country.

There are a few major challenges which our higher education system is facing which has been acknowledged successfully, but, unfortunately, the speed of rectifying these challenges is very slow. The problems, which the higher education system is facing includes poor infrastructure along with facilities, large vacant seats in the colleges are due to the less faculty available results in low student enrollment rate, poor research standards, and overcrowded classrooms. It's a great effort to ensure same quality higher education for students belonging to the families below the poverty line.

Students with poor backgrounds get exposed to another major drawback of costly private tuitions and coaching thereby becomes very difficult for them to crack any competitive exams. For instance, IIM Indore is one of the costliest institutes to study in. Due to lack of funds from the Government, the quality of research in the institutes of repute has also declined.

In most of the cases, the colleges which are established in the rural areas have extremely poor infrastructure and facilities with less faculty in number. The government is making new reforms, but the problem, then lies in the delay in its implementation. Due to limited workforce, the efforts put in are also not visible.

Few of the important challenges accounts for the consistent up gradation of the curriculum so as to remain updated with the recent advancement of science and its globalization. The requirement of systematic funding in colleges like IIM Bangalore to meet the demands of the various novels, innovative programs is very essential so that a meaningful and purposeful research work can be performed.

After discussing the major cons of the education system lets put some light upon the suggestions, which can implement for the progress of the system. The few points include revised package of the faculty, innovative practices which covers all shades of life, mobilization of resources, providing student interest education focusing on the areas of research based subjects, enhancing the other life skills rather than academics which can help to lead their life purposefully, public-private partnership which will introduce students to new industries and their demanding profiles, to introduce cross-culture programmes to enhance better understanding of the people belonging to different cultures, to stress upon the individual development in all walks of life, and last but not the least to focus and to cautiously focus on the major issues i.e. how to improve more and more in providing quality education.

Through this above discussion, we can draw a major conclusion that for the achievement and for sustaining quality in national, regional or international levels, there is a single most important points, i.e. suitable selection of staff with their consistent development, which can improve the condition of our education system at the grass root level.
