Infos

This book delves into the intricate layers of neoliberalization and its challenges, which obstruct accessible and equitable education in Indian public universities. Through a scholarly lens, this work meticulously examines the persistent hurdles that have marred higher education in India, spanning ancient times to the present neoliberal era. It probes into the neoliberalization of public universities within the broader spectrum of the Indian higher education landscape, encompassing fund cuts, fee hikes, seat reductions, and the emergence of private universities.Central to the narrative is the assertion that Indian public universities have historically struggled to uphold inclusivity across various social dimensions, including caste, class, regional diversity, gender, and disability. It sheds light on the enduring challenges faced by aspiring students in India, particularly in the contemporary context. Further, this study emphasizes the critical role of universities and policymakers in fostering an environment in which students from all backgrounds will be able to access and thrive in higher education.The volume will serve as a valuable resource for academics, researchers, educators, and policymakers in higher education. Additionally, it will be an essential companion for those studying education, public policy, administration, political science, and sociology, both in India and globally.
